Mount Fuji: Stars Over the Hill
Starry sky; something I would have to give up if I live in the city
Side Story :
Last week, we went to climb Mount Fuji. It was a great trip — something I would remember and tell, but not to do over again.
As stubborn and unwise as I could be, I brought most of my photography gears: 2 camera bodies (the other one is my wife's), four lenses (left 85mm at home), flash, and of course, the bulk and heavy tripod. I brought them thinking that I will have time to take photo.
I was wrong.
I don't have a lot of time to take photo because we were constantly on the move — and it is unwise to take photo during breaks, because you are suppose to take a rest. It takes time to take photo in the dark; it takes time to set the tripod, it takes time to take long exposure, and it takes time to re-compose a photo.
It was also useless to bring all the lenses. The wind was very strong up there, and I don't want to risk the dirt/dust into the camera while I change the lens.
On the way down, the landscape was breathtaking. However, it was raining so the camera was in the bag for most of the time. Took several photos, but not very satisfied with the result.
In the end, I took more than 60 photos, but most of them are useless.
Anyway, I will post some of them this week. So, let this week be "Mount Fuji" week.
Hope you enjoy it :-)…
*Mt. Fuji, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan
PS: The photo on this post was taken after we walk for just 10 minutes. I was still all pumped up :D.

Well, I would love to climb Mount Fuji, no matter what. :P
Nevertheless, I hear you. Take less gear with you. :P
But still, with that sky I would have just set-up camp, set-up tripod and camera and shoot a star trail… no matter what the wife says! :D

Beautiful photo! I live in the city, I've never seen that many stars.
PS: Thanks for sharing the side story.

Inaugurated in early 2011, with the striking blue waters visible from its laboratory windows, the Red Sea Research Center is well-positioned and well-equipped to study the Red Sea with state-of-the-art facilities and world-class researchers. The Red Sea Research Center has delved into the volume of research necessary to formulate a comprehensive understanding of the Red Sea to conserve its rich ecology and sustain its economic eminence.
This unique waterway supports diverse coral reefs and many species of fish, invertebrates, seaweeds, phytoplankton, and bacteria in a great number of different environments. The incredible biodiversity of the Red Sea holds untapped potential for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications, such as the development of new drugs, enzymes useful for catalysis, and nutraceutical compounds. Red Sea organisms may also serve as models for understanding biological systems and adaptation to extreme environments.
Studies conducted by scientists within and in collaboration with the Red Sea Research Center have already broken the boundaries of current marine research and are making waves in the field.
The mission of the RSRC is to contribute to the understanding of the role, functioning and response to pressures of the global ocean by using the unique opportunities offered by the Red Sea
RSRC Aim: In doing so, the RSRC aims to provide critical scientific knowledge underpinning the role of the Red Sea in supporting the growth of a Blue Economy for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
"In any given morning, I can be out on a reef diving and collecting samples, have lunch at my house, be in a very modern lab facility in the afternoon, and teach class in the evening," says Michael Berumen, Associate Professor of Marine Science with the Red Sea Research Center. "It's a really unique situation that the University has such great access to very good coral reefs with such great world-class facilities right on the water."
The combination of extraordinary biological, physical, and chemical diversity within the Red Sea makes it a challenge to research, but worthwhile as models for ecosystems around the world and potential for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. Academic and private-sector collaborators come from around the globe.

Re-Imagining Leadership
By Dan White Jr. on Sep 13, 2018
What does it really mean to grow in Christian leadership?
One of my favorite movies growing up was Braveheart, and in some ways became an inspiration for my early outlook on leadership. In our modern narrative, a leader is a hero, a William Wallace. Eyes set on making an impact, rallying others around a God-inspired vision by using natural charisma, and looking for strategic ways to engage others in the cause—this was my agenda.
If you are looking for tools and techniques for that leadership agenda it is a million dollar industry and I understand why. It would be hard to find a person who does not want to become a better leader; I know I do. In most people's imagination to be a better leader is to focus on the skills and capacities of the 'lead dog' and find ways to increase those skills. I've attended numerous leadership conferences over the years that offered me ways to become a better preacher, a better manager, a better organizer, better vision caster, and a better recruiter.
The Idolatry of Impact
Those desires are primal and real, but underneath I've discovered an ambition. An ambition I've known in my own life—the desire to make an impact. The passion for "making an impact" is displayed on many of our church websites and is championed from many of our pulpits. This idea of 'impact' is baked into our discipleship for being a Christian and crescendos in our leadership development.
What often goes unnoticed is what that ambition does to our souls. Impact has connotations of a meteor slamming into a region, leaving behind a massive hole. Our powerful portraits of making an impact have done just that, left us with gaping holes; craters in the formation of our character. It is possible, maybe even probable, to make a big impact for God but lose our souls.
It has been pandemic in the last few years to see the character of dynamic church leaders crumble either through sexual sin, spiritual abuse, relational bullying, or financial impropriety. These are no longer freak occurrences, they are now commonplace. What can be observed in many of these leaders was how big an impact their churches and organizations were making.
There is a dynamic to making an impact that disguises the catastrophic holes in our own character. When 'making an impact for God' is the center of our attention it can numb our senses to the health of our own emotional and relational character. I've watched far too many leaders gradually have their character eroded in the pursuit of doing something significant for the Kingdom.
The Hungry Ego
When Impact is leading us, no matter how much spiritual jargon we cover it with, it will lead us to feed our egos. The ego desires measurable impact, to survey it's affect on others, to tally up it's victories, and gather positive reviews on it's reputation. These feed the ego, slowly turning it into a monster. Do people like our sermons? Do they like our programs? Do guest's enjoy their experience? Are we growing numerically? These are natural questions but they covertly point us in the wrong direction and bolster our ego. With the plethora of resources available to leaders we can manufacture 'impact' without the careful work character. Jesus himself faced this leadership temptation himself.
As Jesus was entering into public ministry leadership he faced three real threats to his character in the form of "making a big impact". Notice that the temptations were primarily focused on Jesus' efficiency and legitimacy. Two times Satan led by saying, "If you are the Son of God . . ." As leaders, we should notice how the enemy operates here. Satan was seeking to pull Jesus into an approach to leadership that operated out of a distorted and broken sense of significance. I've heard those voices in my head many times "If you are strong leader..., If you are a great pastor..., If you are dynamic pastor...?" We need to develop an ethical lens for interpreting the big business of Leadership sold to us. The Enemy tried to sell Jesus on a brand of Leadership and he's still doing it today.
Produce Something
Satan starts his assault by saying, "...tell those stones to become bread" (Mt 4:3). Can you hear the sense of strength in this form of leadership? "You are the Son of God! Use your power!" Satan was appealing to Christ's ability to produce what is needed, now, at the moment. Jesus apparently had done nothing visibly significant for thirty years. How could Jesus be satisfied with this?
Our church cultures ask the same question: "What have you achieved? How have you demonstrated your usefulness? What have you produced?" The typical lens for framing a leader that 'produces' within the church is borrowed from CEO-style organizations rather than the story of the early church. The growth of most Fortune 500 companies is offered as a strategy for success. In 1995, for example, the book Jesus, CEO was published. We can easily cut and paste verses to fit our CEO mentality and use them out of context. The purposes of a corporation are not the purposes of a church. Using corporate techniques will inevitably distort our character as leaders, we now have too many local and national examples to deny this.
Perform For Us
Next Jesus was taken to see all the magnificence of the earth. Satan seemed to taunt him by saying, "Look at what everybody else has, and you don't have any of it. Take control, apprehend what you deserve and command the angels concerning you" (Mt 4:5 The Kingdom New Testament). Satan was essentially asking Jesus to manipulate God by forcing him to show his power in a public way. When we envision what can be, we are tempted to control, coerce and manipulate impact. So we speak boldly about our capacities and use spiritually charged lingo to declare how effective our church is going to be. Leaders who have too much of their identity wrapped up in performance tend to be highly competitive & defensive. We are tempted to find ways to sensationalize, stimulate visibility and create buzz-worthy results.
Please People
Lastly, Satan invited Jesus to the highest point of the mountain and "showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 'All this I will give you," (Mt 4:8-9). At this point people didn't think anything of Jesus. He was, in effect, invisible. Some of us are people pleasers and long for others to receive us, want us, affirm us, placing a high premium on what people think about us. Our leadership self-image soars with a compliment and plummets with criticism. We are constantly seeking to impress with the cleverness of our communication, the brilliance of our insight, and the confidence of our personality. This temptation is growing like weeds in our culture because so many of us are heavily influenced by celebrity preachers. Listening weekly to a podcast of a preacher with charisma and a massive platform has the potential to wreak havoc on our desires. When we are spiritually influenced by popular communicators, we are tempted to imitate them as a means of making an impact.
Re-Imagining Leadership
The temptations are strong and have infiltrated many of our leadership strategies. We need to deconstruct the Leadership paradigms that have tricked us into believing they are good for us and good for our churches. In the New Testament the word leader is generally avoided. The apostle Paul avoided elevating himself over others and instead used terms like co-laborer, co-worker (1 Cor 3:9; Phil 2:25). Christian leadership is not intended to be a "one-man band," with a solitary figure declaring from a pulpit or executive office, with everyone else as subordinates and spectators. Instead the New Testament writers used the term diakonia, meaning "servant" or "service," to identify people in leadership.
We've often spiritualize servant-leadership. But what would servant-leadership look like if we restructured our churches for it? How could we flip the CEO model? How can we lead from weakness rather than strength? The church, the living body of the Spirit, is called to submit to Christ as the singular head of the body, and into mutual dependence on one another (1 Cor 12; Eph 4:1-16). The pathway to upending the CEO-style, single-gifted, solo leadership platform is to transition toward soul-healthy, mutual leadership. We leaders need to be intentional and consistent about diagnosing how our platforms and pulpits can deform the soul of our leadership.
The Bible says very little about the skills necessary to produce exponential impact. Rather it heralds the cultivation of character of the Spirit as the ground floor of leadership. The most significant thing about us isn't what impact we make, what we accomplish, but who we are.
A growing groundswell of pastors and practitioners are awakening to what the race to make an impact is doing to us. Many of us are on a journey to discover a how to lead in the way of Jesus. Join us at The Praxis Gathering in Philadelphia, PA this September 27-29th as we Re-Imagine Leadership.

The Sharpen survey results validate what we already know: Effective financial counseling changes people's lives for the better. - Helene Raynaud, President & CEO, Guidewell Financial Solutions
Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) April 20, 2016
Like many of us, Martha Souder didn't learn much about money management growing up. At age 19, she had already maxed out her first credit card, and when she married a few years later, she and her husband continued to buy things without thinking of the long-term consequences. When her marriage ended in 2002, she found herself $60,000 in debt – much of it credit card debt. She diligently worked to reduce her credit balances on her own, but could only repay $10,000 in 10 years. Meanwhile, the interest she owed grew. She says, "As time went on, I realized that if I didn't get help, I would be 100 years old before I paid everything off. After some research I contacted Guidewell Financial Solutions. They gave me advice and an actionable, realistic plan to become debt free."
Financial Counseling Helps Clients Manage and Reduce Debt
Souder's experience at Guidewell Financial exemplifies the results of a recent, groundbreaking independent study on how financial counseling impacts consumer behavior and financial well-being over time. In this academic evaluation, researchers from The Ohio State University compared the behavior of 6,094 clients participating in Sharpen Your Financial Focus®, a financial counseling program developed by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling® (NFCC) - in which Guidewell Financial has actively been participating since 2012, with that of 6,005 similar non-counseled individuals.
The study found that clients who receive financial counseling performed better on a variety of outcomes, reducing their revolving debt by an average of $6,000 -- $3,600 more than the comparison group. The Sharpen participants likewise reduced their total debt by almost $9,000, while the comparison group's total debt actually rose slightly during the same time.
Guidewell Financial's confidential counseling program offers several strategies that make it easier for clients to take control of their personal finances. At the start, the nonprofit's certified counselors help clients take a look at where they stand financially. President and CEO Helene Raynaud says, "This initial assessment is a critical component of our holistic approach, because it provides a springboard for providing a financial reality check and setting up a realistic budget. Our counselors also take the time to help clients brainstorm ways they can increase income and reduce expenses, so they have more financial resources to utilize while repaying what they owe."
At the end of the assessment, counselors help clients review available debt repayment options. Some qualify for Guidewell Financial's debt management program. Under this option, clients make a single payment each month to the agency, which is then distributed to their unsecured creditors. After three months, creditors may reduce clients' interest or waive their late fees provided they continue to make payments on time and in full.
From a client perspective, how does this all work? Souder says, "When I came in for my session, I had every single credit card statement with me. I sat down with my counselor, and she worked with my accounts for what seemed like hours. When she said, 'We're going to fix this,' I felt enormous relief. Then she printed out my plan. I was still a little apprehensive, but it felt like a weight had been lifted. I could see that if I kept my eye on the goal, I would ultimately be debt free."
Clients Gain Skills and Self Assurance as They Improve Their Credit
Souder enrolled in the agency's debt management program in 2012 and will complete her program in June of this year. She says, "Living on cash only has taught me discipline and how to budget and save. I also have a better understanding of why I'm tempted to spend – and how to deal with that. Although the past four years have been challenging, my financial future is the brightest it's ever been!"
Souder's renewed optimism and self-confidence parallel the results from an NFCC Sharpen survey: Three months after financial counseling, more than half of the clients surveyed said the program had helped them better manage their money, set financial goals, and improve their financial confidence.
But that's not all. Analysis of credit report outcomes for a sub-sample of nearly 9,000 Sharpen clients reveals that financial counseling and debt management have a positive impact on participants' credit scores.
Since reducing her debt, Souder has also seen an improvement in her credit rating. She says, "Being in the program, I've learned to honor and respect money. It's given me a long-term perspective and long-term goals. The money I'm using to pay off credit card balances now will go into savings once I'm debt free. I look forward to buying my own home in 2-3 years."
Raynaud applauds Souder's efforts and adds: "We appreciate the NFCC's Sharpen initiative and the researchers' work at The Ohio State University. Their results validate what we already know: Effective financial counseling changes people's lives for the better. Our clients inspire us with their courage, perseverance, and hard work. It is extremely rewarding to watch them learn and grow!"

Bring The Beat Back
In most cases, four years off is an eternity for a band. Many times, it's the definition of "hiatus" for bands who decided to quit the band and pursue other ventures, only to find no successes were to be had. Or it could mean a group of musicians that only get together to record and make music together from time to time, often years apart. Fortunately for us, the return of Broken Bells plays into the latter reasoning, but still, it's been four years. After the immense popularity of a couple songs, and the sheer excitement of a producer like Danger Mouse working with The Shins again, this time NOT for a Shins record…well the excitement died down. But now it's 2014, and the first record is a distant (albeit still very much welcomed) memory. After The Disco is here.
What made Broken Bells so great back in 2010 with their self-titled debut was the overall simplicity of the songs. They were just good, hearty indie rock songs, with sensible melodies and catchy hooks. After The Disco expands upon the idea, adding a bit of depth to each cut, allowing it to easily surpass its predecessor quite handidly. Synth verses abound in such an addicting track as the title song, and set the tone for what we're in for: a futuristic hybrid of rock and disco, sans the Daft Punk vocoder. "Holding On For Life", the album's first single, is just what it sets out to be: as good, if not better than a cut like "The High Road" or "Vaporize", the two more infectious cuts from the debut record. Then we're thrown into a soundscape treat, with "Leave It Alone". The song is cluttered with acoustic finger-picking throughout, with a soft, deep, and powerful high pitched chorus that compliments the entire rock-styled feel. James Mercer's soulful vocals have never sounded better, including on all the Shins records.
Another thing setting After the Disco apart from the duo's debut is the addition of such raw, brash guitar solos on Mercer's part add a different dynamic. They're almost reminiscient of solos heard on something like Jack White's solo venture Blunderbuss from 2012. Percussion seems more important and focused this time around, particularly on cuts like "The Changing Lights" with its fast-paced beat and driving bass lines. The more intimate moments are highlighted by Danger Mouse's inclusion of the seventeen-piece Angel City String Orchestra and a four-piece choir on singing vocals, besides Mercer and his back ups. And besides the six and a half minute opener of "Perfect World", the songs map out to about as long (if not slightly longer) than the entire first record. Both Danger Mouse and Mercer know how to cut a good, solid record, that isn't too long-winded or too brief.
Overall, After The Disco is a worthy follow-up to such a gem as was the first Broken Bells recording. It's a shame we had to wait four years in between records (despite the short four-track Meyrin Fields EP from 2011) for more from such a gifted and unique blend of musicians. But I'll definitely take what we can get, and what we've got is the future of disco, as we head into the second half of the 2010s. Here's hoping it won't be until 2018 until we hear from this duo again.

The very first day at Karachi University Agriculture and Agribusiness Department I was sitting with a blank face and only one thing in my mind, what I will study in Agriculture. I was the student who never grow a single flower in his life and now I am in the field of Agriculture. But just to buck up myself I was continuously repeating this phrase "there is always the first time."
First Semester was like Summer Camp as we were studying just the basics of agriculture. But as the time passed education gets more complicated and In my case teachers played an important role to have my interest in the field of Agriculture and as I researched about this field I came to know that this field is too vast. Agriculture is applied of every subject you study from school to your college life. It includes applied Physics, Applied Chemistry, and Biology etc.
As I talked to people around the globe who are related to this field I came to know that Universities in Pakistan are actually not doing enough what they should do for providing quality education to the students. Let's be specific to Agriculture field, in my university we are not provided with practical education as I feel Agriculture is totally a practicable field and works on the same formula of Swimming.
As Agriculture is not included in the top 10 most sexiest professionals of the world, so people do not take you seriously and being a Karachiite it's really difficult to tell people that I am studying agriculture as this field is new to Karachi. And literally the first response what I got from people was MAALI BANO GE?
And at the time of BAKRA EID when my friends called me and ask me to just go with them to visit BAKRA MANDI as I know about livestock better than them. Initially I was irritated by this attitude but then I realize actually my friends are right that I should know better than them but this is what I call lack of practical education!
Normally the students who entered in this field are not for degree but for the pragmatical education. But as they continue their education they find nothing like pragmatics, and from here lack of interest starts and many students quit and choose some other professions. To overcome this problem, people who are related to this field should come forward and do something to shorten the gap between theoretical and practical education. Just to create the agricultural studies interesting I have some proposals being an Agriculture student.
- Practical Education: There is a lack of practical education and students become tedious by just studying theory. Students on their own try to do some practical stuff but in the end students cannot afford the expenses and dream of practical education ends up here.
- Interesting Books: Boring at its height. This is the right phrase for agricultural books. Books should be interesting and have some nice pictorial view to how agricultural practices be implemented practically.
- Modern Equipment: Universities should provide good and modern equipments so that we can step up in the modern world of agriculture and can progress well and in less time.
- Quality Counseling: There should be proper counseling for how to make a proper resume and students should know about their opportunities and future job market.
By working on these proposals we can make agricultural studies more attract full and can make the bright future of our agricultural country PAKISTAN!

Digital microfluidic systems (DMSs) are emerging with high potential to serve as true labs-on-a-chip (LOCs) systems for various chemical and biochemical analyses. Significant research efforts have been devoted toward the design and fabrication of improved LOC systems. Due to design, fabrication, and also runtime uncertainties, feedback control schemes must be incorporated to ensure reliability and accuracy of LOCs for practical use. This paper introduces the basics of the control analysis and design of the DMS, which is a relatively unexplored area in digital microfluidics. Based on the semi-empirical models of the droplet dynamic system, simulation results of the closed-loop position control of a droplet between two adjacent cells of a DMS are presented. The dynamic response is analyzed and discussed in relation to the operational parameters of a DMS.

The King must control the Pawns – part 1 of 2
Automation configuration management isn't very complicated yet I've seen so many screw ups
I've seen some horrible implementations
A couple of years back I was interviewing for a new position at another company and the interviewer showed me his team's test automation system and asked me for my feedback.
We started looking at the code. Based off what I saw I told him "If we look at the configurations I bet we'll see <problem 1> and <problem 2>. We opened up the configurations and I was right – he was impressed – toot toot!
One example of configuration is to manage endpoints for each environment, among other things.
(1) Example one – configuration.properties file.
foo.endpoint.<env> = …..
foo.endpoint.dev = …..
foo.endpoint.test = …..
foo.endpoint.int = …..
bar.endpoint.<env> = …..
bar.endpoint.dev = …..
bar.endpoint.test = …..
bar.endpoint.int = …..
blah.endpoint.<env> = …..
blah.endpoint.dev = …..
blah.endpoint.test = …..
blah.endpoint.int = …..
(2) Example two – multiple properties files – one per environment
What often happens is Person A is working in a specific environment like "dev" and updates those configurations (adding new configurations) and doesn't bother making the corresponding update to the other configurations. I've also seen one config list them "foo,bar,blah" in one file and "blah,foo,bar" in another – making readability difficult.
Over time these configurations can become way out of date and automation only works in one environment and flaky in all the others.
The King must control the Pawns – part 1 of 2
You are the king and the configurations are the pawns! If you unit test modules of code, why not unit test configurations?
That's what I did. I have a unit test that compares the keys in every configuration file and flags an issue if there is a mis-match. Of course the values will differ but I expect all keys in the same order in each configure file. Keep on top of your configurations. No code check ins allowed if this unit test fails!

When I was younger, I thought it was really cool when I heard a price like $9.99, $76.54, or $33.33. Get the drift. There was some sort of mathematical pattern that appealed to my overly educated brain. (I guess that is what you call the small things in life that bring cheap pleasure). Luckily I have found a bag with a little mathematical pleasure that may also be appealing to the eyes.
The Hype Nutmeg Glazed Pebble Leather Shoulder Bag could easily be used as your everyday bag because of the color, material, and style. This bag is roomy enough to be carried for some heavy lugging- measuring approximately 14" wide X 8" tall X 4½" deep. Also the nutmeg color leather is easy to match with nearly any outfit if you aren't into buying a new bag every week for every outfit, or like most of us (including myself), can't afford it. The exterior looks pretty luscious to me, made of glazed pebble leather with gold-tone metal hardware accenting and contrast stitching. The bag closes with a magnetic leather strap which goes over the top of the bag along with a leather buckle strap across the front of the bag. When you open the bag up, there is tan printed paisley lining and of course an inside zipper pocket. This bag brought some joy to my eyes and my mathematical love for reoccurring numbers. For a quite reasonable $111 this bag is available via Bluefly.

Something that surprised me about camp was how well we ate. Shauna was our camp director and she made sure that we were really well fed. We always had three square meals every day, which isn't something that I'm used to, but up on the mountain I really wanted to eat at every meal.
|Sandy, Heidi, Taylor
|Brianna and Sarah
Everyone had food assignments and clean-up assignments. Some of the girls were great at volunteering and chipping in, and the others learned a little about helping out, but every meal went smoothly. My favorite breakfast out there was a breakfast burrito and a few slices of orange. Lunch was always a sandwich, and that was fine by me, and dinner was usually something great. The last night, when the bishopric came up, we had steak and cobbler.
Every day, we got a little more dingy and gross. The ash and smoke and dirt all clung to us, and we all got various degrees of sunburn, so every morning we woke up feeling a little more disgusting. Enter Emilee. She kept us in line in the looks department. Well, at least our hair. Emilee does hair and was called upon to do hair every morning. When she volunteered to do something with my bedhead, I happily accepted and this is what she came up with:
|Cute, right?
|writing an Elder and reading scriptures. . .
|taking care of the sick
Amid all of the fun, shenanigans, and pranks, there were also plenty of spiritual moments at Girl's camp, and I'll remember those just as much if not more than the fun times. As I mentioned in a previous post, there was the day where all of the girls had their own sacred grove experience and wrote out their testimonies amid the aspens. In contrast, there was also an experience with singing trees. This was where each ward huddled around a tree during an evening meeting. We all walked in silently and after being told what order we would go in, we'd light up a tree with our flashlights and sing a devotional song. That whole area was dark except for the one tree that was glowing, and each song was in some way related to faith in Christ. . . It was really neat, even if the words that I'm typing can't do it justice.
On our last night, before dinner and just before our bishopric showed up, Sandy told us of one of her plans for the girls. She set it all up so that the leaders would soak and massage the girls' feet, and this was finished off with brand new socks. Now, you might be thinking that this should have gone in with the silliness and girly-girl stuff that we did, but here's why it doesn't fit there: We read the scripture in Matthew about how the Savior washed the feet of his disciples, and we talked about how that was a huge deal. Not only was Christ their leader and their Savior and choosing to serve them, but He was doing so in the most humble of ways. It was a tender exchange to have to show the Savior their dirty calloused feet, but once the disciples understood why it was so important for the Savior to serve them in such a way, they allowed him to wash their feet and literally do a dirty work. Sandy had me read the scripture to the girls and then she did a great job of explaining how in this act she wanted the girls to not think of her, but of their Savior and how he would be there washing their feet if he could. . . of how as a Son of God, He is their salvation, their leader, and also their servant.
And then, of course, there was our testimony meeting. Initially it was a mixed bag for me. On the one hand I was looking forward to it, but on the other, I was pretty drugged and out of it for the beginning of it. I was given a percocet because I was experiencing a pretty harsh headache. The percocet did not help. I only took half of a tablet after having eaten dinner, and I still felt woozy and a bit crazy. Emilee told me later that she kept looking over at me expecting to see me pass out. She said all the color drained from my face. I didn't know how I was going to get through that meeting and actually be truly present.
As everyone quieted and started settling down for our testimony meeting, I started praying to feel better, to be able to share what I felt, and to be able to take in what others were saying. And you know what? I got my concentration back, and as long as I didn't move, I didn't feel like I was going to throw up. And I got a lot out of the evening. The other amazing thing was that I wasn't nervous at all when it came time for me to share my testimony.
Nearly every girl shared her testimony, and each of the leaders did. I think all of the girls felt much more comfortable talking in front of everyone after nearly a week of togetherness. What I took out of it was how blessed we all are. These are all normal girls in so many ways. They struggle with self-esteem, with their schedules, with understanding boys, and with fitting in. But these are also girls that are unlike so many girls in the world right now. They all know the Savior lives and are all working on improving themselves and are staying away from bad situations. What an amazing thing it is, to know so many young women who truly understand that they are daughters of a Father in heaven, to know that they are each striving to do what is right when the world teaches moral relativity.
Through my experience at Girl's Camp I gained a greater appreciation of what it means to be a part of the Young Women's organization, to be a small part of what strengthens these young women and helps them out. It is truly an amazing work, to help a young woman, because either way, teenage girls grow into women and what they are exposed to as girls will shape them into the women they become. There are more than enough negative influences and messages out in the world, which makes me that much more grateful for the positive things that Young Women's can do. If nothing else, if Young Women's is at the very least fun and entertaining, then we will keep the girls around good leaders and other girls who are trying to do their best instead of hanging out aimlessly or getting into trouble. At its best, Young Women's offers girls options, strength, friends, growth, opportunities for service, and a safe haven from the barrage of junk that the world throws at them. I'm glad to be a part of something so positive.
Our last morning, we all scurried around packing things up and taking down camp. It was all quick and furious and then the next thing we knew, it was time to head back home. We scarfed down breakfast and took snack food with us and divided up again into cars, and then it was time to face the real world all over again.
Not as cute the last day, but my hair-do stayed in place while I slept!
|View from the mountain
*To anyone who read each of my Girl's camp accounts, congrats to you! Sometimes my blog can be my journal and as such it gets really wordy. If you have made it through all of that, you deserve a prize. Thanks!

Severe weather conditions can impact crop output and USDA wants to track and report that information as necessary. Given the way the 2006 crop year has gone, the agency is tackling that issue in three states.
USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service announced this week that the October 12 crop report will contain updated yield and production forecasts for row crops. NASS is asking farmers in South Dakota, Georgia and Alabama to updated expected harvested acreage for corn, cotton, hay, peanuts, sorghum, soybeans and tobacco.
Drought conditions in those three states could impact final harvested information for those key crops.
The agency also says it will review Farm Service Agency certified acreage information in early October and any updates to planted and harvested acreage for dry edible beans, canola, corn, sorghum, soybeans and sunflower in all states that are necessary will be included in the October crop production report.

Strategic Tax Planning for Business
Tax planning for a small business can be as simple as correctly identifying deductions, or it may be as complex as re-designing your entity structure. Either way, effective small business tax planning is absolutely critical for the life of your company. Without it, you may find yourself exposed to unnecessary tax liabilities and missing out on a great deal of current tax savings.
Good tax planning is not a single event. Instead, it requires being dynamic and adaptive because the tax code is always changing. As the tax landscape evolves so must you. You may have an accountant that simply prepares your return every year without offering any suggestions on how to reduce your tax burden. That's not good enough. You need a financial advisor that can offer you options that will reduce your current taxes on an ongoing basis. At Cambridge, we will consider the entire picture and make recommendations that are sensible, and can put more money in your pocket at the end of the day.

Why does the U.S. refuse to probe Bush era torture?
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case of a Canadian man who contends that U.S. authorities mistook him for an al Qaeda operative and shipped him to a secret prison in Syria, where he was beaten with electrical cables and held in a grave-like cell for 10 months.
And this despite the fact that, four years earlier, the Canadian government had concluded an exhaustive inquiry and found that the former prisoner, Maher Arar, was telling the truth. Canada cleared Arar of all ties to terrorism and paid him $10 million in damages.
Arar's case illustrates what lawyers and human rights groups call a shameful trend: While U.S. courts and the Obama administration have been reluctant or unwilling to pursue the cases, countries that once backed former President George W. Bush's war on terrorism are carrying out their own investigations of the alleged U.S. torture program and the role that their governments played in it.
Judges in Great Britain, Spain, Australia, Poland and Lithuania are preparing to hear allegations that their governments helped the CIA run secret prisons on their soil or cooperated in illegal U.S. treatment of terrorism suspects. Spanish prosecutors also have filed criminal charges against six senior Bush administration officials who approved the harsh interrogation methods that detainees say were employed at U.S. military prisons in Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantanamo Bay and other sites.
Another former prisoner whose case the Supreme Court dismissed, Khaled El-Masri of Germany, has sued the government of Macedonia for handing him over to CIA agents, who he charges tortured him in Afghanistan. His case is pending in the European Court of Human Rights, in France.
This is the remarkable thing: Other countries are reckoning with the legacy of the Bush administration's torture program, and meanwhile the United States is not.

Samuel Grant Miller 1955-2017
History Forum Series Presentation: Vogt Opera House, Feb. 4
Bob's Ghost Town Safari Photography Workshops
Beyond the Basics
Sherman County Senior & Community Center February Menu
Links: Things to Think About & Things to Do
1. Samuel Grant Miller 1955-2017
Samuel Grant Miller was born June 12th, 1955, in The Dalles, Oregon, to John and Maxine (Benson) Miller. He passed away January 29th, 2017, at OHSU in Portland, Oregon. Sam grew up on Fivemile outside of The Dalles and the family moved to Moro, Oregon, in 1971. He graduated from Sherman High School in 1974. During high school he participated in athletics and rodeo. After his schooling he worked numerous jobs including driving truck for the Tindall Family in Portland. Following this he went to work for the Sherman County Road Department for 26 years and was Road Master for a portion of that time. Sam also started his own excavation business of which he was very proud.
Sam married Jennifer O'Connell November 3rd, 1979, and they had two sons whom he loved dearly and they loved him as well. When not working, Sam enjoyed supporting his sons in all their athletic events, elk hunting with his family and reminiscing about his years growing up and felt privileged to have been raised by and around the "old timers." Sam spent countless hours volunteering in various ways. These included the Moro and Wasco Fire Departments, serving as chief for part of those years. He served two terms as elder for the Moro Community Presbyterian Church and coached Little League, as well as lending his talents to various community projects. Sam lived his life his way and at his own pace. All who knew him knew what that pace was.
Sam was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents. He is survived by his sons Justin and his wife Alyssa of Moro, Charles and his fiancé Brennah of Wasco, and his blue heeler Bonnie. He is also survived by his sister Linda Wilson and her husband John and his twin brother Johnny (Humpy), all of The Dalles. Also surviving is his nephew Marshal Waddington and his wife Traci and their children Brianna and Dillon, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins including Dorothy Benson of Moro, cousin Fred Benson and his family of Grass Valley. Services will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, February 4th, 2017, at Spencer, Libby, and Powell in The Dalles. Following the service will be a celebration with food and drink being served at the Civic Auditorium in The Dalles. In lieu of flowers the family suggests that memorial contributions could be made to the Sherman County Athletic Foundation or to the Celilo Fund (Cancer Treatment facility that took care of Sam), 1800 E 19th St The Dalles, OR 97058.

4. Beyond the Basics
Our abilities, and our belief in our abilities, have tremendous power over our lives. Today, let's talk about a few beliefs and abilities that each of you might want to develop to live a more productive, fulfilled life, allowing you to make a positive difference each day – wherever you are.
The three "Rs" – "reading, (w)riting and (a)rithmetic" – appear to have made their first English language appearance regarding basic education in the late 18th century. They were thought to be the foundation for skilled labor to have, and today, they are still critical skills to possess. But there are other abilities and beliefs that are equally critical if you are going to live a successful, contributive life:
- You believe that you are a capable person, that you contribute in meaningful ways to your relationships and society, and that you have the power to influence what happens to you in your own life.
- You have the ability to understand your own emotions and use that understanding to develop self-discipline and learn from your experiences.
- You work well with others and develop friendships through communication, cooperation, negotiation, sharing, listening and empathizing,
- You are able to respond to the limits and consequences of everyday life with accountability, adaptability, flexibility, and integrity.
- Finally, you are able to use your wisdom, judgment and experience to evaluate situations according to appropriate values that you have chosen to live by.
What do you suppose the world would look like if our children came out of school with these abilities and beliefs, as well as the usual "three Rs?" Imagine such a world! ~ The Pacific Institute

Hello, hoping someone can help me with the following - I get an email every day with an attachment I have to save down on my hard drive to build a report. Trying to automate this process, and looking online, it seems I can use something like the following code, but in those instances it seemed like I needed to create a rule to use, and the "run a script" functionality has been disabled locally, so that option isn't available to me. I know there is some other way to write a general rule to extract specific attachments, but I'm just not sure on how to actually set it up. Essentially, I get the same email every day from email@example.com and I put those specifically in a sub folder in my inbox. For any email that goes into that folder, I'd like it save locally to c:\temp\. Bonus would be if when it saves it could move the file named the same to c:\temp\archive so I'm only looking at the most recent file in that folder (which I just build a query to that specific folder for my report). Thanks in advance!
Public Sub SaveToDisk(itm As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim objAtt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim saveFolder As String
Dim dateFormat
dateFormat = Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd")
'Change this path to the your folder location
saveFolder = "c:\temp"
objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder & "" & dateFormat & ".xls"
Set objAtt = Nothing
End Sub
You can run this manually:
Code:' Outlook module Sub Att() Dim mpfInbox As Folder, obj As MailItem, i%, fn$ Const mad$ = "" ' desired mail address Set mpfInbox = GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) ' desired folder For i = 1 To mpfInbox.Items.Count If mpfInbox.Items(i).Class = olMail Then Set obj = mpfInbox.Items.Item(i) If Day(obj.ReceivedTime) = Day(Now) And obj.Attachments.Count > 0 And _ obj.SenderEmailAddress = mad Then fn = "c:\accounts\" & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd") On Error Resume Next Name fn & ".xls" As "c:\accounts\draft\" & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".xls" ' move file On Error GoTo 0 obj.Attachments.Item(1).SaveAsFile fn & ".xls" End If End If Next End Sub

Here's a preview of how Alfa Romeo's incoming SUV may look, based on comments from the CEO of Alfa's parent company; Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).
Last week, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne mentioned that the first of Alfa Romeo's two promised SUV models was proceeding as planned, with the carmaker preparing to launch one of the new model next year.
As a bonus for Alfa Romeo fans, Marchionne said that styling for the midsized SUV would be based on Alfa's new midsized sedan - the Giulia.
From this comment, Photoshop wizard Remco Meulendijk of RM Design has produced a front and rear view of how the new SUV may look.
RM has borrowed the headlights, triangular grille and air intakes from the Giulia for its SUV rendering, before adding a pair of fog lights and a more chiselled look for the front end.
At the back, the rendering shows the Giulia's tail lamps and a variation of the quad-exhaust outlets.
The car sits on the same black alloy wheels as the Giulia, but the SUV wears higher profile tyres - no doubt in preparation for some light off-road duties.
Marchionne said last week that a production schedule for the SUV was in place and is set to follow the new Giulia sedan around the middle of next year.
"All the preparation work [is done]," Marchionne said, speaking with industry paper Automotive News.
"Alfa's plan is progressing as we told you it will go."
Of course it remains to be seen if this rendering will be close to the final design, with Alfa Romeo and Marchionne giving nothing else away.
Stay tuned for more.

Automation of trust is illusory.
That is the thesis form this Aeon piece on the failure of Ethereum, a popular blockchain. There are many other points of interest.
How about this question:
Why are people so eager to put their faith in blockchain technology and its human supporters, instead of in other social and economic organisations?
Or this:
What it really exposed was the extent to which trust defines what it is to be human. Trust is about more than making sure I get my orange juice on time. Trust is what makes all relationships meaningful. Yes, we get burned by people we rely on, and this makes us disinclined to trust others. But when our faith is rewarded, it helps us forge closer relationships with others, be they our business partners or BFFs. Risk is a critical component to this bonding process. In a risk-free world, we wouldn't find anything resembling intimacy, friendship, solidarity or alliance, because nothing would be at stake.
