The UCC28C4x-Q1 family devices are high performance current-mode PWM controllers. They are enhanced BiCMOS versions with pin-for-pin compatibility to the industry standard UC28C4x family PWM controllers.
Providing necessary features to control fixed frequency, peak current mode power supplies, this family offers several performance advantages. These devices offer high frequency operation up to 1 MHz with low start up and operating currents, thus minimizing start up loss and low operating power consumption for improved efficiency. The devices
also feature a fast current sense to output delay time of 35 ns, and a ±1-A peak output current capability with improved rise and fall times for driving large external MOSFETs directly.
The UCC28C4x-Q1 family is offered in the 8-pin SOIC (D) package.

• Board Mount Power Modules
This power supply reference design for automotive auxiliary circuits generates a 15-V, 4-A output from a wide input range of 40 V to 1 kV and up to a 1.2-kV transient. The design fits ideally into an 800-V batterydriven hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) or electric vehicle (EV) traction inverter system. The 40-V minimum input voltage supports the functional safety test for the regenerative braking from the traction motor. This reference design implements a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET with high blocking voltage and low gate charge to reduce switching losses. A non-isolated level shifter enables driving the SiC MOSFET from the Si MOSFET driver embedded in the flyback controller.
The board includes two flyback converter variants:
primary-side regulation (PSR) and optocoupler feedback to make comparisons and address different needs. The transformer design meets qualifications for Automotive AEC-Q200 Grade 1 with reinforced isolation.
This reference design is a 60-W power supply which enables an ultra-wide input range from a 40-V (minimum) to 1-kV (maximum) DC voltage targeted for use in 800-V battery systems. A primary feature of this design is that the converter can power up at the 40-V minimum input voltage, which allows support for the system safety test during the regenerative braking for traction inverters. This design is an auxiliary power supply solution that generates a 15-V output for the traction inverter subsystems. The design also
implements reinforced isolation for safety enhancement. The single-ended, flyback topology has been chosen due to its low cost, high isolation rating, and design simplicity. Moreover, the design includes two onboard converter variants, with optocoupler and primary side regulation (PSR) for performance comparisons.
Carefully consider the following criteria to fulfill the design requirements:
• Voltage blocking capability of the switching device –
Because of the high voltage, the Si MOSFET, which has a lower design margin for blocking voltage and high channel resistance, is not suitable. The design requires use of an SiC MOSFET with a higher blocking capability.
• Pulse-width modulated (PWM) switching duty cycle –
Support for such an ultra-wide input voltage range requires a controller that is able to operate within the corresponding, wide PWM duty-cycle range.
• Active start-up circuit –
The traditional, resistive start-up circuit causes high quiescent losses at high input voltage. This design implements an active start-up circuit for reduced leakage current.
• Noise coupling –
The high-voltage input and fast switching of the SiC MOSFET leads to high dv/dt switching nodes, which generates a large amount of noise and antenna loops. The essential switching nodes must be kept small and away from quiet areas to reduce the noise coupling.
• Safety clearance –
The distance between the high-voltage area at the primary side and low-voltage area at the secondary side must have enough clearance to comply with safety requirements. Reinforced isolations are normally imposed according to automotive safety requirements. The ground of the low-voltage side may be connected to a 12-V battery or vehicle chassis, which is touchable by the human body.
• Printed-circuit board (PCB) clearance and high-voltage components selection –
The PCB clearance must be carefully designed to avoid electrical breakdown failure. Carefully select components that tolerate high voltages to properly handle the high-voltage stress.
This reference design is capable of powering up from a 40-V minimum input voltage for the purpose of enabling engineers to work safely and allow them to test the regenerative braking mechanism.
Regenerative braking utilizes the same insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)-based traction inverter to force the power flow in the reverse direction from the motor and send the power back to the battery. The IGBTs are controlled in a different algorithm to regulate the DC output from AC. Regenerative braking technology funnels the energy created by the braking process back into the system in the form of charging the battery for further use. Typically, in a regenerative braking system, the energy loss from the braking process transfers to the generator from the rotating axel before transferring to the battery, thus saving energy.
• 40-V to 1-kV input, 15-V Output Flyback Auxiliary Power Supply With Output Power up to 60 W
• Regulated 15 V With Active Start-Up Circuit for Reduced Standby Power
• Extendable to Higher Voltage and Higher Power Range to Utilize High-Voltage Capability of SiC MOSFET
• Automotive Grade 1 Qualified Transformer With Reinforced Isolation (Qualified With 5.7-kV High- Pot Test)
• Two Converter Variants With PSR and Optocoupler Feedback Included on Board
• Constant Switching Frequency Type of Controller With Maximum Switching Frequency of 1 MHz and Duty Cycle Range From 0% to 96%
• HEV/EV Traction Inverter
• HEV/EV On Board Charger
• Electronic Control Units
• HEV/EV DC/DC Converters

On Super Bowl Sunday, we had 27 friends from downtown at Hennacy House to watch the big game, or just enjoy time away from the streets, and delight in plenty of snacks, including some great guacamole, salsa, nacho cheese, and another dip to have with a variety of chips, peanuts, soda, coffee, ice water, and a dinner that included broccoli with nacho cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, and roast beef along with buns for those who preferred a sandwich. A great time was enjoyed by all.

Sue Heiser - Academic Associate
I qualified as a social worker in my mid thirties, after time spent in disability work as part of the Independent Living Movement of the 70s. Since 1994 my work has focussed on older people and dementia, first leading a local authority specialist team which helped develop services and improve practice in the days when dementia care was seen as a depressing career choice.
I've worked extensively alongside staff in care homes, training, mentoring and supervising staff as well as helping change the attitudes of their managers. I spent two years as a commissioner for services for younger people with dementia and have worked freelance as a consultant to local authorities.
For eight years prior to my retirement in September 2011, I was Head of Residential Services in Camden, responsible for four care homes, employing 200 staff. I've always appreciated David's approach and believe strongly that life in a care home can be a positive experience if the support is offered with feeling and real interest in the people who live there. A good built environment is a bonus.
I've retained links with the dementia world since retirement through various voluntary roles and love my garden and spending time with many friends.

Last night I co-DJ'd a high school dance at a private school here in Columbia. I didn't know ANY of the music we played, and I was APPALLED at the way the kids are dancing. My wife was not surprised when I told her what they were doing. Apparently she is far more "hip" than I realized.
I have about 10 years of music and culture to catch up on if I am going to be a good DJ.
Meanwhile, I am going to lock up my daughters until they are 35.
If my life were "Happy Days," I would be Howard Cunningham. When did this happen? Will I ever be hip?

Ten Portals 5- Hod
Weekly Remembrance Phrase:
"Thank you for the constant opportunity to awaken."
(Membership Episode #38)
This episode is the fifth in a special series for the "Omer" period- the seven weeks between Pesakh and Shavuot. In Kabbalah, each week of this period is associated with one of the seven lower "sefirot" on the Tree of Life. This episode teaches on the fifth of the lower seven sefirot, called Hod, meaning Glory, Majesty or Gratitude.
The meditation video below continues teaching the new Ten Portals Practice which expands on the IJM practice and the Three Portals of Presence into all Ten Sefirot of the Tree of Life. This Ten Portals meditation and the chant introduced here are based on a passage from the Aleinu prayer.
Audio and video for Teaching, Chant, and Meditation are below. Scroll down to listen, watch, or read them separately. Enjoy!

Greetings and blessings dear friends!
This is the fifth video in this series on the ten Sefirot as portals of presence, including but expanding on the IJM practice. In the first three videos, we focused on the sefirot of Hesed, Gevurah, and Tiferet, corresponding to the portals of the heart, the body and awareness itself from the IJM practice. In the last video we explored Netzakh as the portal of regular daily practice.
In this video we'll move on to the fifth of the seven lower sefirot, called Hod, which can mean Glory or Majesty, as well as Gratitude. So we might say that this quality of gratitude, of being deeply appreciative of the gifts we're receiving as opposed to taking things for granted, complaining and so on, is really a majestic quality that highlights the higher glory of human potential.
For our purposes, we will focus on Hod as the counterpoint to Netzakh. In the last video, we related Netzakh to the persistence of daily practice, to really committing and organizing your life so that you can do some kind of Avodah every day. Netzakh, therefore, is about transformation, about effort, about deciding and committing to make a difference through your Avodah.
Hod, on the other hand, is a kind of stepping back from the effort of Avodah, and really appreciating the opportunity to do your spiritual work. It's also gratitude for the fact that every moment is an opportunity to practice, not just the special times you set aside. So in this sense, there are really two levels to Avodah- the special times you set aside to meditate, on one hand, and the constant opportunity to practice presence in every situation, on the other. There's an interesting Torah passage that hints at these two levels of Avodah.
The Torah reading Parshat B'Har opens by talking about Shabbat not as a day of rest for people, but as a rest for the land. It says:
Ki tavo'u el ha'aretz asher ani notein lakhem, v'shavta ha'aretz Shabbat laShem- When you come into the land that I give to you, the land will rest a Shabbat for the Divine.
It then goes on to explain what it means for the land to rest:
Sheish shanim tizra sadekha v'sheish shanim tizmor karmekha v'asafta t'vuatah-
Six years your will plant your field, prune your vineyard and gather in your produce.
Uvashana hashvi'it Shabbat shabbaton yiyeh la'aretz-
But the seventh year should be a Sabbath of Sabbaths for the land… don't plant your field or prune your vineyard.
Now the Torah doesn't talk much about vegetables. When it refers to planting fields, it's mostly talking about grain, and from the grain is made the ancient staple, bread. Pruning vineyards is a reference of course to grapes that are made into wine. Now wine and bread are not only basic foods, they're also sacramental foods- forming the ritual part of sacred meals on Shabbat and festivals. In fact, the first mention of this is in Bereishit 14:18 when Makitzedek, the priest-king of Shalem, blesses Avraham and brings him bread and wine.
I heard once from a friend a special teaching that he heard from Rabbi Shlomo Carlbach of blessed memory. He pointed out that wine is something that gets better and better with age. You pay more for wine depending on how old it is. Bread, on the other hand, has to be fresh. No one wants a fifty year-old loaf of bread.
Similarly, there's an aspect of the spiritual path that's ancient and an aspect that's fresh and new. For example, the Torah, and really the whole Jewish tradition, is ancient and there's a special richness in that. And even though there are plenty of passages in the Torah that may seem wrong and even disturbing, that's offset in a sense by the richness of being connected to a lineage that's many thousands of years old. And yet, that richness doesn't really come to life unless it's combined with fresh, new insights and interpretations. No one wants to hear the same old canonized interpretations over and over again. For the tradition to really live, it also has to be like bread- we need khidushim- new insights.
On a deeper level, the very practice of Presence also contains these two aspects. On one hand, there is nothing more ancient than the present moment. There's nothing that's ever existed that didn't exist in the space of its own present. That's why one of the names of God is Atik Yomin- the Ancient of Days. And when you become fully present to the ancient space of this moment, there's an intoxication, as you drink in the wine of the Being.
At the same time, in becoming present to That which is most ancient, there's also a spontaneous letting go of mental and emotional baggage from the past so that everything in your experience becomes alive and new like a freshly baked challah.
And what do you do when you open Shabbos with a kos yayin- a full cup of wine and a fresh challah? You say a brakhot- blessings of gratitude for the bounty, for the intoxication and for the nourishment. And that is Hod- gratitude for the majestic meal that is now before you. In this case, the wine and bread are metaphors for avodah- spiritual practice. Which brings us back to the two levels of practice I mentioned at the beginning. Just as bread has to be fresh and constant- we eat food more or less every day- so too your practice of presence is always new when you apply it this ever changing moment. It never gets old. And just as wine is best when it's aged, so too it's also good to set aside special times to chant the ancient sacred words of Torah and prayer, and to become intoxicated by their richness.
The more you make both of these levels of Avodah part of your life, the more you begin to realize that there's really nothing to do except avodah. Everything in life becomes a form a spiritual practice. And so to affirm this we'll chant the next two words of the Aleinu prayer from Devarim 4:39- Ayn Od- There is Nothing Else. Meaning, there is nothing but the opportunity to practice Presence in every moment and in every situation…
Chant- Ayn Od (Deuteronomy/Devarim 6:5):

text: We got different answers from everyone we talked to. Our city doesn't have any online resources. We got the chickens anyways. Are they outlaws??? Now that we have them are we exposing ourselves by still trying to get the answers? Our local library keeps a copy of city codes and ordinances in a binder in the resources room. I went and read it for myself yesterday. No questions asked, no explanations to give. Give it a try wherever you are. No run around or misinformation. FYI everyone we talked to gave us the wrong answer. Not one person knew the law. Even the first person I talked to at the library didn't think they had anything like that available. Get someone in the resources room. If you have more than 1 branch, try the main 1 first. We are currently in violation. Chickens are allowed as long as we don't let them roam free on public property and they aren't bothering the neighbors. No limits or restrictions, but you have to have a $2 permit. We don't have a permit. Our only problem now is how to get one. Since nobody knew the law, how hard is it going to be to find someone who knows anything about the permits. For now we're going to live as outlaws. I'll worry about the runaround after school starts so I don't have to lug all the kids down to city hall. Give it a try where you live. Your local library may have the same.

Pictured here is the base salad, made almost exclusively from ingredients from the farmers' market or our own garden. Obviously the olives and cheese are not local, but I will convince myself that they are organic and ethically-sourced. As you can see, I am not big on lettuce when it comes to my Greek salads. This one includes a red onion, sweet white onion, green peppers, a couple of hot peppers from our garden, a few fresh tomatoes, a cucumber from our garden and then a generous helping of olives and feta cheese.
The dressing is a red-wine/wine vinegar and olive oil base with garlic, dijon, and some lemon and sweet basil from the garden. I brought some of it to work for lunch today, and I am happy to report that it tastes just as good as it looks in the picture (take that as you will).
We've been going to the farmers' market for years, and we have seen groundcherries for sale every year at about this time, but we finally decided to try them this weekend. When you peel away the paper husk, there is what looks like a tiny cherry tomato inside, but much sweeter. I brought a few in my lunch today, but I think that I will bring a few fewer tomorrow. They are nice, but almost too sweet in large quantities.
Somebody posted a list to Reddit today of all the bad behaviour he saw at EFNW this year. I slapped his wrist over it, asking what he was hoping to accomplish by posting such a list other than arming the media and blind siding the convention staff. He responded that he was trying to "raise awareness." Well, everyone is aware now, but I'm not sure what the hell he expects us to do about it.
Also, it is starting to look like the list of grievances are unsubstantiated accusations posted on the tumblr of a girl who was a) not at the con, and b) has a personal axe to grind with some of the con staff.

I am going through my little man's books and resources from last year.....looking at what was barely touched. :/
Visualize books and resources all over the living room floor..........well, this picture was taken after I had to clean it up real quick.....
That was last night.
This morning, he must have awakened, gone into the living room.....seen his paint-by-numbers (advanced set) and got inspired.
I slept in............and by the time I arrived to the kitchen, I found him set up and painting. He had the proper set-up......old tablecloth, water, nice brushes and paper towels......(I did not realize till the next day that he was painting in a new shirt. Don't ten year old boys get that???)
I love how this kid takes to the strewing that goes on around here......both the purposeful and the unintentional. Either way......so happy to see him painting again. He is my favorite little artist.
It is a great "start" to the school year we have not started yet.......nor are ready to start yet.......

I wanted to say that first because I don't want to rain on Mother's Day that is not my intent. Yet, I also know that Mother's day can be a painful day for some. I call it a trigger day for myself. It is a day where I am reminded of my miscarriage and my sweet babies who are with Jesus, (that word I cringe at) the infertility, my health issues, of what I don't have, but what my heart has ached for. Maybe you've felt that ache before too; whether it is for a child, a spouse, a mom, or ________ (fill in the blank).
So what do we do with days like these; days where we wonder, when will our time come, will it come? Well, I think we have to allow our feelings to really come for what they are. It is okay to admit it's hard. At times I wish it wasn't. I wish I could get through this day and it wouldn't affect me, thanks be to God, I don't feel the same magnitude of pain, but it still sneaks up on me.
After we acknowledged our feelings, it's imperative we surrender them to the Lord Jesus Christ. Often times our pain can make us do unhealthy things, like eat lots of candy, take matters into our own hands, or treat the people we love like junk. So instead of reaching for something or someone to ease your pain, how about we try giving it to Jesus. It's really a continual surrender, but He can handle it. That's the beauty of Jesus; He longs to lift our burdens from us.
Its days like these where I am reminded of what it means to have faith in God and His goodness and what it means to really worship Him. His goodness is not determined by my hopes being met. No, His goodness is determined by this: "But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)," Eph. 2:4-5
God longs to give us good things in life. He does. Yet, for the sake of His glory sometimes we have to wait or trust Him for an even better plan, but we wait not without hope but as people great hope. "I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope." Ps. 130:5 Is He good? You better believe it. Is He worthy? Absolutely. Will I worship Him? Forever.
Acknowledge. Surrender. Worship.
Gracious Lord, we thank you so much for mothers. We ask for you to bless them for their amazing sacrifice. Bless the women Lord who long to be mothers but can't, bless those who are waiting to adopt, and those who don't have a mom; may the power of the Holy Spirit grant us comfort and wholeness in Christ as we surrender our pain to Your Son Jesus. He can handle it. Jesus, make us whole in You, not in our hopes and dreams. Father, we believe in Your goodness and we thank You for the grace You have given us in Christ. Let it be to Your glory! Amen.

The body of the two-year-old boy who was snatched off of a lagoon beach by an alligator at a Disney resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, has been recovered, officials said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
The child's remains were found intact Wednesday, approximately 10-15 yards from where he was taken by the alligator Tuesday night, in water that was approximately six feet deep, said Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings. Divers using sonar equipment were among the officials searching for the remains.
"There's no doubt in my mind that the child was drowned by the alligator," Demings said.
The sheriff said that the child had been playing in the water while vacationing with his family when he was grabbed by the reptile. At least five alligators were trapped and killed by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission trappers. Officials say they do not yet know if one of these alligators was the one who grabbed the child and they are investigating further.
According to Demings, in the 40 years that Disney has been in operation in the area, nothing of this sort has ever happened before.

In the second half of the twentieth century application of scientific methods of explicative analysis of individual WCM database wisdom factors in enterprises has begun more actively. The classification of these methods can be surely performed in a variety of ways, and using a number of different principles. One approach would be to use different portfolio models to determine how the company planned working capital for operational supply chain decisions. This is discussed and examined by authors such as KPMG International Cooperative [KPMG], (2012) and Shapiro (2001). Other notable researchers discussed if it has several products that are introduced to the market, how it carries out the allocation of resources at the strategic level for product positioning and how decisions are made to determine the strategic business units in conditions of limited working capital Neubauer (1991).
Related to optimization is a method based on optimal individual financial policies, such as borrowing and investing own resources or reinvesting profit as observed by eminent Knight (1972). The next possible avenue could be to explicatively use one form of a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) with assumptions, capabilities, future goals and current strategy for competitor analysis with which an enterprise can actually balance the business sustainably and optimize business behavior in relation to the features and condition of the environment Porter (1998, pp. 47-74).
Finally, in a holistic approach which is closest to our research and philosophy, integration of all WCM components within a cash-to-cash cycle is advocated as used in more recent annual working capital survey of top companies (CFO magazine/REL Working Capital Scorecard [CFO], 2013; CFO 2014). A somewhat broader literature review on the subject matter of this chapter is also summarized in Table 1.

text: Submitted by Audrey M on Sun, 03/11/2018 - 7:30am Wildflower Walks & Displays near Los Angeles & Orange CountySpring is in the air, and spring means wildflowers! This season might not deliver a superbloom, but the rain that has finally turned up at the end of winter could still paint some parched hillsides in colors worth posing the family in front of. There are several locations known for spectacular annual displays of spring wildflowers in Southern California (not to mention the famous fields of Carlsbad), and areas recovering from fire can surprise us by bouncing back beautifully. Large displays typically last two to six weeks, so you need to make plans quickly when word comes of a good display. (Don't have time to drive outside the city limits? We know plenty of local hikes worth checking, too!) If we hear of more great displays, we'll share in our newsletter! (Have you subscribed?) Since large-scale wildflower displays typically occur in the high desert, be sure to take sunscreen, hats, water, snacks, good walking or hiking shoes, and of course a camera for your trip. Spring weather in the high desert is not necessarily hot; it can also be comfortably cool and very breezy. If you are looking for cactus blooms or a weekend away, look into current flower displays at Death Valley, Anza Borrego Desert State Park or Joshua Tree National Park— more than a day trip for most of the LA area but well known for their blooms. Of course, you are likely to see some wildflowers on any of your favorite hikes from spring through summer, so even if you miss the year's largest displays, don't let that stop you. Wildflower Updates You can get updates on bloom status from the Theodore Payne Foundation Wildflower Hotline (March thru May) or you can call the Southern California Poppy and Wildflower Hotline at 818.768.3533. There is also the Desert Wildflower Report site. These hotlines maintain general information on what is blooming and where. When interested in a particular location, a direct call is best. Our state flower in all its glory at the Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve. Photo by Tom Hilton/CC BY 2.0 Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve 15101 Lancaster Road Lancaster, CA 93536 661.946.6092 or 661.724.1180 Have you seen photos of fields covered in orange poppy blooms? Antelope Valley is where many of those photos are actually taken. It's no surprise that the California Poppy is the most widespread wildflower here, turning the landscape into a field of orange in good years, but other flowers are also present. The interpretive center is open during wildflower season (typically mid-March through mid-May). Eight miles of unpaved trails and one paved section are available for strolling. The preserve is located 15 miles west of Lancaster; parking costs $10. Hungry Valley SVRA Visitor Center Gold Hill Road near N Peace Valley Road Gorman, CA 93243 661.248.7007 The Gorman area's wildflower displays are the closest option for much of greater Los Angeles. Hungry Valley SVRA has self-guided tours of the prime viewing areas; both road and hiking options are available. Access to the park is $5. The website and phone number both have current information on the bloom. Wildflowers on Gorman Hill (the large hill you see from I-5) are best viewed from Gorman Post Road, immediately north of the freeway at the Gorman exit. Gorman Post Road offers no hiking access, and there is no fee here. Saddleback Butte State Park East Avenue J and 170th Street East Lancaster, CA 93535 661.946.6092 Located 18 miles east of Lancaster, near the town of Lake Los Angeles, Saddleback Butte has a campground, picnic area, vault toilets, and several miles of hiking trails. A good year brings out fields of sweet-smelling yellow coreopsis, tidy tips, fiddleneck, and desert dandelions among the Joshua trees and creosote bush. A 1-mile easy unpaved trail from the picnic area to Little Butte goes through fields of flowers. Older kids can handle the hike to the peak—there are different flowers at elevation, but no large displays among the rocks. A short paved nature trail leaves from the picnic area, but does not make it into the wildflower areas. Chino Hills State Park 4721 Sapphire Rd. Chino Hills, CA 91709 951.780.6222 This day use state park 10 miles northwest of Corona offers Angelenos a variety of landscapes without driving too far from home. The park does have a discovery center (open weekends only) to use as launching pad, and this season brings an unusually colorful variety of plants and flowers, offering home to plenty of nesting birds (watch for red-winged blackbirds). Also watch for bobcats and coyotes, both of which have been spotted by hikers along the parks many trails. Be prepared for some steep climbs, but the reward can be a view all the way to Catalina on a clear day. Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area Includes Malibu State Park, Circle X, and Los Virgenes Canyon Open Space Visitor Center: 26876 Mulholland Highway Calabasas, CA 91302 805.370.2301 The Santa Monica Mountains are not known for large fields of colorful blooms. However, if you are looking for a variety of flowers or riparian flowers (creekside), this is the place to come. The bloom is still heavily dependent on winter rains, so be sure to check the link to see what's blooming and where. Point Mugu State Park offers wildflowers, mountains, and sea views all in one hike. Photo by Mommy Poppins Point Mugu State Park 9000 Pacific Coast Hwy. Malibu, CA 90265 (310.457.8143) Don't let the Malibu address confuse you; arriving at this park requires driving up PCH until you cross the county line into Ventura. Point Mugu has lovely beaches and camping as well as trails up into the mountains above the coast.

12 Signs You Are Still NOT Ready to Get Married !!
The Indications for Guyz when to get themselves married are obvious. I don't need to discuss in detail as they must reach the defined age and a good source of Income! Here, I am going to talk very Practically about Girls when they are still NOT ready for Marriage. Especially in Pakistani Society. Still perceptions may vary but this in particular is my perspective.
What I Concluded after observing couples and my Research and Experience says the same that if below mentioned points are there in a Girl, then she should simply say "NO" to Marriage.
1. Impatience.
Patience is a big Quality a woman owns that no other quality can compete with it's benefits. Women for Herself is doing a great deal of bonus by being Patient and calm. This trick can make anyone in her In-laws Affectionate towards her. So, if you are querulous or snappy in nature, first try to change yourself then get into a Relationship otherwise insult is all yours.
2. Extreme Emotional Attacks.
Being Extremist is a big fault in any woman out there. One has to be bold and open minded to accept any situation. HyperSensitivity can be very harmful for your innerself and can lead to depression. Marriage requires you to be very strong and tolerant in nature.
3. Princess like feeling.
When Girl is at her Father's home, she says anything anyway in any tone without thinking. Contrary to this, Girl has to be careful in selection of words. Also she needs to put in a lot of effort in the marriage box which is at start empty. She has to fill it so that she can get something in return. Make up your mind before saying YES to the proposal.
4. Unadjustable.
After you get married, cuddling and love making goes on side. It's an hour or so thingy. But nature is something, your partner loves or hates. Make him admire your habits and attitude for Ever Lasting Love. You might will have to mould yourself to some extent so adjustments have to be made.
5. MisManagement.
Most of the time, woman complains that she has to get insulted on mere time mangement issue. But it is a big problem if women is lacking in this. Men never compromises if he is getting late for work because of your mismanagement neither he is going to wait for you to prepare meal for him or to iron clothes for him when he is done with bath and just thinking of leaving.
Why not to do all this stuff done before- hand Even a night before??
You can Half done his lunch, iron his clothes, polish his shoes and make ready his gym bag if you have problem waking up an hour ago. Do all this a night before.
Why to start up a day fighting?
So are you ready to get married ?? Ask yourself?
You need to be multi talented and versatile enough to deal with all these simple things.
6. Bad Working Speed.
It is good for your ownself to speed up rather than to listen to taunts all the time.
7. Incapability to mould Worse Situation in a Pleasant one.
It is a women responsibility to change a worse situation in a better one with her tricks. Learn those tips from Elderly person in your family or your mother can be your big mentor in this regard so first understand this skill and then go for marriage. If you feel yourself lacking in making other's calm down, Learn this first!
8. Aggression.
Aggression is not made for ladies even they dont look cool in this but weird. But nowadays I see girls are even more aggressive than boys. Rather than giving this abnormal glimpse to your husband, first make yourself humble and polite so you don't have to face much problems ahead. As once your husband starts thinking of you as being boss of him, he will try every possible way to put you down.
9. Depressing Nature.
Husband should be welcoming towards her wive's attitude..should listen to her problems if any, should try to calm her down, should treat her like a princess as this will explain his own upbringing in a Queen's arm. But sometimes husbands have a tiring day so If you often feel yourself stressed out, wait for him to fresh n up, have some meal then you can explain what stressed you out the whole day. You should understand when is the right time to say something.
10. Conflicting Attitude.
I know every single person on earth, has a right to think the way they want to. Freedom of thoughts and speech is given to everyone. But marriage is the name of being together forever, you can give your opinion but it may happen that your opinion may not be welcomed. Dont lose heart. It is you who has create your own importance and dignity.
Why to give your precious opinions for free?? 😉
When your suggestion can give a bad impact in case you have a conflicting opinion, then why to ruin your impression? Stay silent! Ignore !!
Once you develop this habit of less arguing, you can say YES to the proposal.
11. Meanness.
Before getting married, We think everything for our own sake, We have nothing to do with the rest of the family. We, The Girls, live in our own self created world, What to eat, What would go best with the specific dress and it is totally up to us When to wake up, selfishness and ill temperedness is part of our living. Even we hit our siblings when rude so it does not go when you are married.
12. Ego & Stubborness.
The more the ego, lesser would be the respect. For how long, your partner will continue with your pigheaded and obdurate nature. At last he will put an end to this after concluding on the single thing that is obvious in such circumstances. Ego is something men cannot stand, even they have much more than you. The difference is that wife is their weakness and they don't show up but once they show their ego, it's gonna ruin peace of your days and nights. So first come on earth from the seventh sky. Feel a difference in you. Then go foreward for such a pious relation.
Need is to preapare yourself before getting into a relationship which is pure and ever Lasting. It's not a joke neither it's about one day or a night stand. It is to fall in love with the same person over and over again, giving sacrifices for him, compromising and being Generous, Forgiving and kind to him and his whole family.
You must learn Few Critical Skills before getting married from Experiences of others so that you don't feel like fighting a War Afterwards. Those Skills are Just Opposite to the points listed above !! 😉

FreshLo grantees, partners launch project phase with spirited Memphis gathering
In Fresno they're creating a culinary-based business incubator to spark equitable economic development and embed food-themed cultural activities into the neighborhood.
In New Orleans they're establishing a neighborhood teaching kitchen as part of a community resource center.
In Denver, a performance and artistic space will anchor a new fresh food market and gathering space to serve as a cultural hub bringing residents together in celebrations of unity and heritage.
The projects – all part of The Kresge Foundation's innovative Fresh, Local and Equitable (FreshLo) initiative – were highlighted during a spirited October convening of FreshLo partners in Memphis, Tennessee.
Twenty-three nonprofit organizations and coalitions from across the nation were awarded $200,000, two-year FreshLo grants this September. The support will help them implement neighborhood-scale projects that increase equitable economic opportunity and improve health outcomes for residents by using approaches blending health, community development and Creative Placemaking. Each organization had completed a one-year planning phase where project concepts were created and community partners were brought on board.
The late October convening brought together close to 100 grantee representatives and partners to explore, compare and share their projects with one another.
The high-energy gathering reunited many FreshLo partners who visited one another's project sites, participated in online learning activities and shared triumphs and disappointments during the planning year.
"These organizations' FreshLo projects are driven by local community members, who have worked very hard to identify partners and engage with all residents during the course of the planning year," said Stacey Barbas, senior program officer with the Health Program. "It was really inspiring to see how much progress each project has made and how the FreshLo principles of equity, health community development and Creative Placemaking are taking root in the communities."
Grantees participated in interactive sessions and activities during the convening, including:
- Rapid fire sessions where each grantee told the story of their FreshLo project in three minutes.
- Storytelling workshop and performances by spoken word artists Climbing Poe Tree.
- Community Visits to sites including Knowledge Quest, National Civil Rights Museum and the Memphis Slim House.
- Workshops on driving community change, accessing capital, and navigating conflict & power dynamics in coalitions and organizations.
- Chalk-art workshops and demonstrations by artist David Zinn.
FreshLo partners said the convening built depth in their relationships with like-minded individuals and nonprofits across the country, infusing their work with a renewed energy.
"I came home so inspired and hopeful about our project and what others are doing," said Jennifer Hall, who is a part of the project led by Dream of Wild Health in Minneapolis.
The FreshLo partners will continue to work together during the next two years.
"One of FreshLo's goals is to bring grantees together so that they can learn from each other," said Michelle Johnson, program officer with the Kresge's Arts & Culture Program. "Seeing the synergies and relationships that are blossoming among the members of the FreshLo community is a signal that we are generating momentum toward that goal."
- "It's like a family reunion."
Patrice Thomas of Rainier Beach Action Coalition greets Donna Garnett of Montbello Organizing Committee while Shawn McLearen of Placeful looks on in the background. This convening was the second time grantees came together. A particpant described the 3-day convening as a "family reunion."
- Performance by Climbing PoeTree
Alixa Garcia and Naima Penniman of Climbing PoeTree perform for the FreshLo community at the kickoff to the convening. Garcia and Penniman are cultural architects committed to reframing the story on the most pressing issues of our team through multi-voice spoken word, hip hop, world music and multimedia theater.
- Coloring outside the lines
Chalk artist David Zinn shares technique with Sadia Nawab of Inner-City Muslim Action Network. David held a workshop "Art-Making Underfoot in the Community" on the roof of the hotel.
- Connecting through Art
Alixa Garcia and Naima Penniman, also known as spoken-word artists Climbing PoeTree, lead convening attendess in a workshop, S.T.I.C.H.E.D.: Story-telling + Art as a Hammer: Cultural Activism.
- Interactive Workshops
Victoria Porter, also known as MVP, of Riverworks Development Corporation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, participates in an interactive workshop lead by Climbing PoeTree.
- A bit of friendly competition
With a spirit of friendly competition, Ylonda Glover of Riverworks Development Corporation races to fill in an acrostic poem as part of a workshop led by Climbing PoeTree. Attendees learned how poetry, media-making, creative interventions and collaborative art can be used to strengthen social justice movements.
- Reading stories of others
Convening attendees read S.T.I.C.H.E.D. a growing tapestries of Stories, Testimonies, Intentions, Truths, Confessions, Healing, Expressions and Dreams. More than 5,000 people from across the country have contributed to S.T.I.C.H.E.D.

Non-tariff barriers are also a huge concern to the agricultural industry. These will add additional paperwork and checks to trade, with the potential to cause an additional expense and delays to businesses. The Government must be prepared for a situation where we trade under WTO rules, and start preparing accordingly.
Any change in our trade arrangements has implications for the smooth movement of goods between the EU and the UK, and could lead to serious disruption to supply chains. A future bespoke agreement must address the costs and delays associated with customs and border controls.
Delays at border inspection posts lead to increased costs, and are a threat to perishable goods. It is imperative that the Government sets out how it intends to ensure that the right IT systems and infrastructure are in place for the import and export of agricultural produce so that businesses can continue to trade smoothly with Europe, including the Republic of Ireland, and the rest of the world.

strange connections
I saw No Country For Old Men last night - I went honestly not being very sure what to expect. It was deep, dark - and left me with a lot of questions. Strangely enough, this was the same feeling I had when I finished the book The Road, which I recently wrote about here. Damn if the book the movie was based on and The Road weren't written by the same author, Cormac McCarthy. I detect this is his style, kind of like as soon as you hear Rush or ZZ Top on the radio, you know it's them - kinda like that.
The weirdness didn't stop there - the weather has been a drag lately - so snowing, crummy roads. I was crawling along on the Interstate last night at 45mph on the way home from the movie thinking that I felt like I was on the "road" depicted in that dank novel...I was all alone...no one behind me, no one ahead of me - cars were streaming on the East bound lane, but not mine - alone. This day has Cormac McCarthy written all over it. No, I didn't remember that my studious brother-in-law told me that No Country for Old Men was written by him, but I did run over and order a CD book of All The Pretty Horses (another bit of McCarthy genious) - (in case you want to borrow it when I am done, Joe.) So it's been a three-fer McCarthy weekend. I thought that was crazy coincidental, wanted to share.
And as long as I am talking about books, I recently finished Blood Orange by Drusilla Campbell.
I was pretty excited to read this book, the jacket reeled me in - about a woman whose child is abducted and somehow the mother "unwittingly" has a part in allowing it. I found it okay but kind of predictable. I found myself shame-shaming the main character for being so irresponsible, but I haven't walked in her shoes - so who am I to judge - but I did, couldn't help it. Considering the turmoil in this household - as the father is a criminal defense attorney who also happened to be representing a child killer - they sure left their guard down. Truly a case of "you don't know what you've got until it's gone". Thankfully they are blessed and will get a second chance to get it right - but the book doesn't leave me certain they will, get it right, that is - maybe another story.
I'm so close to writing about some knitting - I can so see the light at the end of the WIP I have on the needles - promise to be a knitter again soon:)
Meanwhile, look at the eye candy here. I'm going to have a "stash January" - as in, no new purchased yarn for me this month, not one skein. I have done some trading on ravelry - what a great thing that is - new stuff yet my wallet has stayed snapped shut. nice.

I just got some tulips. I'm a student and live in a condo with a balcony so I do not have access to a garden. Tulips are my favorite flowering plant so I decided to give it a go at some live ones. What type of tulip are these?
Is the container they are in big enough? If not then what would be the proper time and size to re-plant them into a larger container?
Also, I've found a lot of variations in the care they need in regards to light and watering as well as temperatures. I live in Florida, so it's usually hot and humid, right now it is cold (50 degrees) and humid. I plan on keeping the plant indoors if it will be ok in 72-78 degrees. Does anyone know if these temperatures are good for the plant to thrive?

In the era of double balloon enteroscopy, capsule endoscopy, CT, and MRI enterography is transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) underestimated method for evaluation of small bowel pathology. As often initial imagine method in abdominal complaints, nowadays has TUS much better diagnostic potential than two decades ago. High-resolution ultrasound probes with harmonic imaging significantly improve resolution of bowel wall in real time, with possibility to asses bowel peristalsis. Color flow doppler enables evaluation of intramural bowel vascularisation, pulse wave doppler helps to quantificate flow in coeliac and superior mesenteric arteries. Small intestine contrast ultrasonography with oral contrast fluid, as well as contrast enhanced ultrasonography with intravenous microbubble contrast also improves small bowel imaging. We present a review of small intestine pathology that should be detected during ultrasound examinations, discuss technical requirements, advantages and limitations of TUS, typical ultrasound signs of Crohn's disease, ileus, celiac disease, intussusception, infectious enteritis, tumours, ischemic and haemorrhagic conditions of small bowel. In the hands of experienced investigator, despite some significant limitations(obesity, meteorism), is transabdominal ultrasonography reliable, noninvasive and inexpensive alternative method to computerised tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in small bowel examination.

Resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous
Resurrection for whom?
One is declared righteous by faith, but faith must be backed up by appropriate works.
The resurrection of the "unrighteous" does not mean that everyone will be resurrected. In fact scriptures show that those who stubbornly refuse to receive the good news will be destroyed forever.
2 Thes. 1:9.
The "unrighteous" mentioned are those who did not get a chance to be informed and to make a choice based on being informed.
Suffering Job prayed to go there; Job 14:13
O that in She'ol you would conceal me, that you would keep me secret until your anger turns back,
that you would set a time for me and remember me. It should be noted that "hell" as in the King James version of the Bible was translated from the Hebrew She'ohl or She'ol.
She'ol / hell is a place of inactivity.
For in death there is no mention of you, in She'ol who will laud you? Psalm 6:5.
All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She'ol, the place to which you are going. So says Ecclesiastes 9:10.
For it is not She'ol that can laud you, death itself cannot praise you. Those going down into the pit cannot look hopefully to your trueness. The living, the living, he is the one that can laud you. Just as I can this day. The father himself can give knowledge to his own sons concerning your trueness. Isaiah 38: 18, 19.
Jesus was raised from grave, hell.
..... because you will not leave my soul in Ha'des, neither will you allow your loyal one to see corruption. ....... he saw beforehand and spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he forsaken in Ha'des nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God resurrected, of which fact we are all witnesses. Acts 2: 27, 31, 32.
For you will not leave my soul in She'ol. You will not allow your loyal one to see the pit. Psalm 16:10.
Special Note: Hai'des/ ha'des is Greek in contrast to the Hebrew She'ohl/ She'ol; Peter's quotation of Psalm 16:10 shows Hades is the equivalent of Sheol and is applied to the common grave of mankind (in contrast with the Greek word ta'phos, an individual grave).
Hell will deliver up other dead, be destroyed.
And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Ha'des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire. Revelation 20: 13, 14.
Fire is a symbol of annihilation.
Cutting off in death symbolized by fire. ............ Mt 25:41, 46; 13:30
Unrepentant wicked destroyed forever as by fire. ........ Heb 10:26, 27
Satan's fiery "torment" is everlasting death. ........Re 20:10, 14, 15.
Rich man and Lazarus account no proof of eternal torment
Fire no more literal than Abraham's bosom. .............. Lu 16:22-24
Abraham's favour also contrasted with darkness. .........Mt 8:11, 12
Babylons's annihilation called a fiery torment. .........Re 18:8-10, 21.
"Gehenna"--- Symbol of Complete Destruction
"Gehenna"means "valley of Hinnom" for it is the Greek form of the Hebrew geh hin-nom'. In Joshua 18:16, where "valley of Hinnom" occurs, the Greek Septuagint reads "Gehenna." It occurs 12 times in the Christian Greek Scriptures, first appearing in Mt 5:22. .......................; whereas whoever says, 'You despicable fool!' will be liable to the fiery Ge-hen'na.
The valley of Hinnon became the dumping place and incinerator for the filth of Jerusalem. Bodies of dead animals were thrown to be consumed in the fires to which sulphur, or brimstone, was added to assist the burning. Also bodies of executed criminals, who were considered undeserving of a decent burial in a memorial tomb, were thrown in. If such dead bodies landed in the fire they were consumed, but if their carcasses landed upon a ledge of the deep ravine their putrefying flesh became infested with worms, or maggots, which did not die until they consumed the fleshy parts, leaving only the skeletons.
No living animals or human creatures were pitched into Gehenna to be burned alive or tormented. Hence, the place could never symbolize an invisible region where human souls are tormented eternally in literal fire or attacked by undying worms. Because the dead criminals cast there were denied a decent burial in a memorial tomb, the symbol of the the hope of a resurrection, Gehenna was used by Jesus and his disciples to symbolize everlasting destruction, annhilation from God's universe, or "second death," an eternal punishment.

The 3 Peaks Challenge
Ok so I'm back again after another lengthy break (making new work all the while!). My scatter gun approach to blogging is just something that must be accepted. I'll never be a daily blogger alas. So the 3 Peaks Challenge in aid of The Meningitis Trust went well despite being one of the wettest in living memory. It was a weekend of torrential rain and gale force winds but a lot of soggy fun was had. The pics attached are of Ben Nevis only as this was THE ONLY view we had the whole time! Thanks to everyones generous support £32,000 was raised in total!
