What is S.O.A.P.?
S.O.A.P. stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer. It is a way of getting more out of your time in God's word.
How does it work?
It's quite simple. When you sit for your daily quiet time read the bible as you normally would with one simple difference. Underline or make note of any verses that jump out at you with special significance. This is the basis for diving deeper and using S.O.A.P.
It's quite simple. When you sit for your daily quiet time read the bible as you normally would with one simple difference. Underline or make note of any verses that jump out at you with special significance. This is the basis for diving deeper and using S.O.A.P.
There are four fields to fill in and I bet you can guess what they are:
- Scripture : Write in the verse or verses that stuck out to you in your reading.
- Observation : What did you observe about the scripture that struck you. This can be one sentence or a whole book.
- Application : How can you apply the observation so that it affects your life today.
- Prayer : Write out a prayer to God based on what you just learned and ask him to help you apply this truth in you life.
Whether you are just checking things out, are a new believer or have been a Christ-follower for quite a while, you need to keep growing and you need encouragement. You will see how God is actively at work around you as you hear biblical truths discussed and applied in your Life Group. Your faith and your relationship with God and with others will be strengthened.

Kawasaki escort for bride and groom
It was a day never to forget for Spalding bride Claire Scott who enjoyed a motorcycle escort to her wedding while seated on a Kawasaki trike.
Claire and new husband Richard are members of the Kawasaki enthusiasts' Vulcan Riders' Association and the trike was flanked by 11 bikes on their way from West Elloe Avenue to Boston Registry Office.
A friend of the newly married couple transported Claire and her father to the memorable occasion.
Richard, who has been into biking for around 20 years, said: "The Association brings people together through the love of bikes and the Kawasaki model bikes are really nice looking. We had about 150 people at the wedding and it was fantastic."
The couple enjoyed a reception and meal with family and friends at the Lincolnshire Poacher in Spalding.

Before installing your new floor, it's essential to make sure the subfloor is flat, smooth and clean. If it isn't, your new floor may not last as long as it should. That's where this high-quality internal floor primer comes in useful. It's designed to be used directly onto the subfloor, prior to underlay installation.
Sold in 5kg bottles, the primer is ready to use and doesn't need to be diluted down. Capable of covering up to 50m2, it provides excellent value for money. Whilst you can apply it directly from the bottle, it is recommended you use a brush or roller to create a nice, even application. As the primer is water based, it manages to flow easily into dipped areas of the subfloor.
This strong primer will successfully even out the subfloor, creating a stable and solid base for your new floor. If you have any questions about the use of the product, don't hesitate to contact our technical team today.

Everyday embodiments
Well, you don't have to be new age guru, nor werewolf to experience an embodiment. In fact, it happens to you every day. Let me give you some examples.
"The mouse was just a tiny piece of a much larger project, aimed at augmenting human intellect." — Doug Engelbart, inventor of the mouse
You have may never think about it, but one of the most common embodiments is your computer cursor. Yes, that little arrow which allows you to interact with digital reality of the computer 2d screen. Although it may appear that it is still your body that drives the interaction with a computer (through the negligible moves of your forearm and fingers), it is not true. If you want to enter the 2D world of the screen space, you need to utilize that pointy guy who happens to live there.
Let's take a more in-depth look what's going on there: Obviously, our physical body is not capable of direct interactions with zeros and ones, nor with their graphical representations. However, when we map our hand through the computer mouse to the moves of the cursor, and our eyes to follow it on display, we can do so. It is still our mind that drives it, but it is embodied into the cursor, while the immediate feeling of our physical body temporary disappears from the current reality and becomes obsolete. Just think about it for a moment: Do you say "I move my finger" or "I click at icon" when you want to interact with a computer?
"Cars are not a suit of clothes; cars are an avatar. Cars are an expansion of yourself: they take your thoughts, your ideas, your emotions, and they multiply it -- your anger, whatever. It's an avatar." — Chris Bangle: Great cars are great art
And how about this example: Can you run at 130km/h, carry 400kg of bags and take another four persons along with you? Apparently, our bodies can't do that. Unless we use the car. Unless we embody into the car. Of course, one can say that car is just a machine that we control with our hands on the steering wheel, with our feet on the pedals and eyes looking at the road at the front of us. Well, isn't it the same description as the one we've used when we talked about the computer cursor? Are you deeply and consciously aware of your physical body when you drive? Instead of it, we feel the road we drive on, all the vibrations. We accommodate our visual perception to the speed, and we hardly think about what our body does with the car. Our body is temporarily replaced with the body of the car, while our senses and locomotion apparatus is mapped to the modalities of the car.
"For real human beings, the only realism is an embodied realism."
― George Lakoff
I could also use an example of a bicycle riding. Or skiing. In all cases, we don't consciously think about what our body parts do. Instead, we think about it as bike-riding, skiing, driving and so on. Neuroscientist David Eagleman describes this phenomenon in this book "Incognito": We learn to use our body as newborn babies, and we turn interactions between our body and mind into autonomous "zombie" processes. The same thing happens later when we learn to ride a bicycle or to drive a car. We only think about our physical body during the learning phase, until these skills become zombie processes.
In fact, we experience the embodiment in many forms every day. Those various embodiments allow our mind to experience the realities beyond the capabilities of our physical body. Body, so to say, is a representation of the reality. Although some philosophers may complain that body rather defines than reflexes the reality, it has no importance in one specific case: Virtual reality. As there are no rules, nor laws that pre-define it, our embodiments are both reflection and definition at the same time. If we consider that the embodiment is a product of mapping new modalities to our sensory and motion system and that we can freely define this reality, what would be the perfect VR embodiment?

Curriculum, Political Science & International Relations
Strong preparation in political science or international relations can lead to graduate study in political science, law, international affairs, public administration, urban government, city planning, community affairs, and policy analysis.
The fields can also lead to careers in the administration of business, government, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations.
These majors are also good preparation for journalism and other public service-oriented professions.
View a selection of courses students may take as a political science or international relations major.
POLS 204 Current Issues in World Affairs
This course introduces students to current issues in international relations. The course focuses primarily on such issues as relations between rich and poor nations, the race between food and population, energy, technology, and the threat to the environment. In addition, students may examine other issues in the headlines, such as terrorism, immigration, human rights, international trade, and the proliferation of chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons. The course hews rather closely to recent events.
POLS 205 American Public Policy and Politics
This course surveys the formal and informal processes by which public policy is made and implemented at all levels of government in the United States. Topics include how issues get onto the public and governmental agendas, basic policy formulation processes in the executive and legislative branches, budgetary policies and practices, the role of courts in the policy process, implementation and administrative law, and informal factors affecting policy such as the economy, interest groups, the media, and technology.
POLS 206 Ethics, Politics, and Policy
This course examines the intersection between ethics, elections, policymaking, and policy implementation in the American political system. Consideration is given to how ethical standards apply to election campaigns; executive, legislative, and judicial policymaking; and corruption of policy and administrative processes.
POLS 247 Vodka and Capitalism: Russian Politics in the 21st Century
This course examines the various political, economic, and social problems facing Russia and the 14 so-called Newly Independent States (NIS), which together formerly composed the Soviet Union. Topics addressed include the transition and evolution of the Russian political system, the transformation of the Soviet command economy into a capitalist economy, the attendant rise of organized crime, the war in Chechnya, and Russian foreign policy. In addition, students examine the post-Soviet developments in the Central Asian republics (the "Stans"), and their role in the war on terror.
POLS 265 Political and Civic Engagement
This course examines the nature and influence of political and civic engagement in American politics. Areas of focus include rights and responsibilities of citizenship, historical trends and generational differences in engagement, and linkages between citizen participation and electoral and public policy outcomes. Students are also exposed to strategic and tactical elements of effective civic and political activism in the context of national, state, or local election cycles and public policy debates.
POLS 320 Constitutional Rights and Liberties
This course is a study of the development of constitutional law relating to the rights of individuals and limitations on the power of government. The course examines the way in which precedents develop, focusing on the Bill of Rights and other relevant portions of the Constitution.
POLS 385 Strategic Intelligence
This course is designed to explain the nature of strategic intelligence, review the evolution of American intelligence, study the organizations that engage in American intelligence today, and consider the dangers of secret intelligence in a free society. In addition, the course examines the basic elements of intelligence: collection, analysis and estimates, counterintelligence, and covert action.

Conversion Course - MSc in Person-Centred Psychotherapy & Applications
Programme Leader Dr Anne Smith
Validated by Middlesex University
The conversion course offers a substantial CPD programme for 2 years culminating in a Masters qualification and registration as a Person- Centred Psychotherapist with UKCP. The curriculum content consolidates and integrates prior Person Centred theory and practice with a more in-depth clinical knowledge base, addressing personality and character styles, diagnoses of mental disorders in reference to DSM 5, and complex mental health issues relating to trauma, complex PTSD, traumatic death and loss, shame and depression. The PC approach to psychopathology and therapeutic practice will be applied to the above content by drawing upon leading authors in the field and extrapolating the Person Centred approach in reference to internal processes, intrapersonal meaning and relationship with self, interpersonal and inter subjective relationships with others.
The second major focus lies in equipping participants to develop as practitioner researchers. This enhances practitioner credibility in the wider field whilst contributing to the practitioner's own professional development and academic achievement. This part of the curriculum is concerned with the principles of research governance, ethical research practice, preparation for and carrying out a research study related to psychotherapy practice. Research methodology, data collection and analysis feature strongly over the two curriculum years to support the research activity. Additionally, and in conjunction with the curriculum described above, published research papers consistently inform curriculum content throughout the two years, contributing to participants' capacity to both critique and be informed by research. The long established tradition of the qualitative research paradigm and its equally long standing relationship within PC practice, is a major feature throughout, thus integrating the two main foci for this conversion programme.
MSc Years 1 & 2 are taught in 10 monthly, modular units for each year with theoretical and practice written assignments built in throughout each year. MSc Year 1 begins with a focus on research principles and ethical research practice, leading to an application to the Ethics Committee for approval of the proposed research study. This will allow for the research to begin in MSc Year 1 with a view to the completed research dissertation submitted by May (or earlier) of MSc Year 2.
A reflexive study of a psychotherapy relationship is also due to be submitted in April of MSc Year 2. The final assessment is the Viva Voce which can be taken once the reflexive study and the research dissertation have both been successfully completed. It would be possible to sit the Viva at the end of MSc Year 2 if all written assignments were complete. In the event of, possibly the research having taken longer, it would be possible to complete in the following academic year.
Assessment requirements for UKCP Registration:
- Successful completion of all written assignments
- 450 hours of clinical practice
- 150 hours of clinical supervision
- The clinical hours need to be accrued prior to sitting the Viva.
This programme was developed and is delivered and assessed by Metanoia Institute awarded by and quality assured by Middlesex University.

Bird Watch – Australian crested grebe
In the mid-1980s a small number of Australian crested grebe began to appear on Te Roto o Wairewa/Lake Forsyth in autumn-winter. This flock has increased in every subsequent year to the point where 220-300 adult and immature crested grebes (approximately ¾ of the entire total New Zealand population), now spend winter on Te Roto o Wairewa/Lake Forsyth, with a small number spilling over to the Kaituna and Atāhua areas of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere.
A change in the wintering habits of this species has occurred. While the birds once spent most of their time in the Canterbury and Otago high country, a large number now migrate to the milder, nutrient-rich, lowland coastal habitats of Lakes Forsyth/Te Roto o Wairewa and Ellesmere/Te Waihora.
Christchurch photographer Steve Attwood has been watching the Australian crested grebe population on Wairewa and Te Waihora for some time.
"The grebes nest on Waiwera and Te Waihora, especially down at the Harts Creek end, though grebes are also frequently seen at the Kaituna Lagoon end, in fact I was watching one there at my last visit to Te Waihora," Steve says.
"Last year, I observed about six pair of grebes down at Harts Creek and this year, so far, two pair and several individuals at the Kaituna end.
"Once upon a time Te Waihora and Waiwera were wintering grounds for grebes and they returned to the high country lakes to breed but in the last few years they have stayed and they now breed on these coastal lakes."
The Australian crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus australis; kāmana orpūteketeke), has a long, sinuous neck with a red-orange ruff that tapers to a long, pointed bill. During courtship displays, the birds float, facing each other, fanning their wings and fluffing up their head crests and neck ruffs. At the height of the display, they rear upwards until almost vertical, breast-to-breast, bill-to-bill, crooning and gurgling.
They build floating nests that are often anchored to reeds or other lake plants. Steve says he has witnessed some of their local nests being blown away in southerly storms – eggs and all – but he says the population on both lakes is doing well. (It often carries its chicks on its back when it swims).
Crested grebes are endangered in New Zealand. Numbers started to increase from 2007, thanks to pest control measures.

All of your points are valid (in a healthy relationship) but as an adult how much pain would it cause you to see your parents for the first time in a decade from behind prison glass? Multiply that by ten if the relationship is strained. Siding with Matt if he does not want to see them, he has his reasons and I respect his choice.
Acknowledged the man needs help, not denying that fact. My issue is with the shade being thrown for not interacting with his family. The guy has enough problems. Look, I'm not a parent so maybe I don't get to have an opinion (fine) but my point is: bad parents exists. Not saying that they are bad parents but IF they are wouldn't a destructive relationship plus a mentally ill person equate to an exasperated situation?
Might be doing self rehab in a place he can't get his vice. Hope he has the willpower to keep it up if he doesn't join a program.
I hope this helps him turn his life around. It's never good to get arrested, but with his issues, it might just save his life, if he can somehow get treatment.
I don't know about shade being thrown. I mean his family is in a terrible situation but they are trying to do what they think is the right thing. Matt no matter how you look at it, he needs some help. You add the two things together and I'm pretty cool with as an outside observer saying if someone needs help and keeps rejecting help, whelp thats probably not going to work out for them. This has all the markings of a tragedy.
With what I read in the article from TSN, and all other articles and reports, my strong feelings/guess is that Matt has mild/moderate schizophrenia, combined with the affects of CTE, and a severe addiction to pain killers/opiates.
He is not of sound mind. A mental condition, combined with addiction is a one-two punch of having ZERO grasp of your reality and/or the ability to grapple with it.
It appears his family clearly understands this. Matt however does not.
Matt cannot "fix" himself on his own. He needs heavy duty psychiatric help and addiction/recover help.
Sadly the "odds" of beating both a severe pain killer/opiate addiction and a mental disorder (of what appears to be this variety-schizophrenia-) are very, very low.
Sadly on top of all this, it appears the NHL/NHLPA did him no favors both during and after his career.
Forgive me, I'm a type it send it kind of person and my "writing style" is probably super tactless and abrasive (comparatively?) so this could be a lost in translation situation; hearing the critique and will make an effort to amend. =)
As far as Matt and his parents are concerned: they are making an effort and doing the right thing, good for them. But still not going to eat Matt's lunch for not immediately accepting their help regardless of how much he may need it. Free will and whatnot. But understand where everyone is coming from on wanting the best for Matt.

Thankful, for all the wonderful things we've been doing. It's been a whirlwind fall for us. Between our NOLA, London, Paris, NOLA trip, volunteering at the Aquarium of the Pacific, Etiwanda Historical Society and being Team Mom (T*) for Frosh/Soph basketball team it's all been relatively incredible.
Our goal is to get back to our blogging basics and give you more consistent content. Thank you for being patient…we promise good things are coming.

Reading through my feed this AM, I came upon the following article, in particular this quote:
"…social proximity and the relationships with one's peers are becoming far more important than spatial proximity…"
IMHO, this message can be applied to many other areas in addition to scientific research. What I found most surprising was the author's observation that increases in external collaboration took place prior to the advent of online services and the Internet age.

Muammar Qaddafi, that he'd better change his codes or get new crypto
equipment. In his blast over leaks Odom said, "Leaks have damaged the
system more in the past three to four years than in a long, long time."
Then, asked about the disclosure of the Libyan intercepts, which had
been revealed by President Reagan, Odom said, "Libya, sure. Just deadly
losses." He refused, however, to elaborate.
Odom also created a storm over his handling of the aftermath of the
Iran-contra scandal. In December 1985, as a cabal of Washington
officials, including William Casey, plotted to send missiles to Iran in
exchange for the release of hostages being held in Lebanon, Lieutenant
Colonel Oliver L. North of the National Security Council staff turned to
NSA for help. He wanted a number of specially designed "KY-40" laptop
computers containing secure encryption chips so he and his fellow
conspirators could communicate secretly via e-mail while traveling.
At the suggestion of a fellow staffer on the NSC, North was referred to
John C. Wobensmith, a senior official in NSA's Information Systems
Security Directorate, which is responsible for developing, distributing,
and keeping track of all codemaking equipment. North told Wobensmith
the machines were needed for his work with American hostages in
Lebanon. Because it was a covert operation, North said, he decided to
deal with NSA himself.
Wobensmith claims that shortly after he was approached by North he
walked up to Odom, who was passing between offices, and had a brief
stand-up conversation with him. "I know you are supporting Colonel
North," Wobensmith says Odom told him. "I authorize you to continue
doing that support, give him what he needs, give him a couple of KY-40s
if he needs them." Odom later said he did not recall the conversation.
Wobensmith passed on the computers to North but failed to have him
sign a receipt for them, a fact that would later come back to haunt him.
Two years later, following the devastating scandal that erupted as a
result of the Iran-contra affair, a senior official at NSA recommended that
Wobensmith be suspended without pay for fifteen days for the slipup
over the receipt and for giving inadequate instructions to North about the
KY-40s' use. But a four-member appeals board, after five days of
hearings, recommended that no disciplinary action be taken and
awarded Wobensmith about $50,000 to reimburse him for his legal fees.
Odom was incensed. He believed that Wobensmith was responsible for
casting the agency into the public spotlight, a rare and unforgivable sin
in NSA's secret city. He was also worried that Lawrence E. Walsh, the
Iran-contra independent prosecutor, might now have reason to turn his
attention to NSA. "You didn't hear the name of this agency come up in
the hearings," Odom once boasted. "The reason was I understood Oliver
North's ilk long before most others did. I made damn sure this place was
straight." According to one person with knowledge of the events, Odom
was also upset that Wobensmith seemed to enjoy his contacts with the
"political scene" in Washington. He told another person that the violation
of proper procedure was inexcusable and that if Wobensmith were a
soldier, he would have had him court-martialed.
As a result, Odom reversed the panel's decision, ruled that
Wobensmith should be reprimanded, that he receive only $1,229 for legal
fees, and that he be ordered hidden behind the "green door"—away from
any public contact—as quickly as possible.
Many NSAers were outraged, some believing that Wobensmith had
been scapegoated by the director. Wobensmith's boss, Edwin R.
Lindauer, Jr., the deputy director for information security and one of the
agency's most senior officials, protested Odom's action to the appeals
board. "I personally am very upset," he said, "when I find a person
dedicated to performing his duty has to defend himself against his own
director, and pay considerable funds to accomplish that." Lindauer went
on to say that the incident was one of the "significant factors" that drove
him into retirement. "I am totally disgusted with the management and
policy of this agency," he said, "that castigates a person such as John."
Wobensmith didn't know what had hit him. Before the charges arising
out of his failure to get receipts from North, his supervisors had been
preparing to recommend him for a bonus. Several years earlier he had
been one of four people nominated by the agency for a Federal Career
Service Award as a result of his extensive voluntary public service—he
spent between thirty and forty hours a week doing volunteer work in his
After his demotion, people turned away from him. "I was pretty much
isolated," Wobensmith said. "I saw a lot of fences going up, a lot of doors
closing." The shunning was especially difficult to bear given the unique
hardships of working in NSA's secret city. "We deal with our families in a
very special way when we work in this place," he said. "That is, we can't
tell them what we do. I think they understand that growing up, but when
there comes a time that they know you've worked so hard, and they see
this kind of thing, they say: 'What's happening? This is a place you're
dedicated so much to. Why is [it] that, suddenly, you're in essence being
abandoned?' "
Eventually, Odom himself was basically shown the door. He was
reportedly passed over for promotion to four-star rank as a result of
differences with Reagan's secretary of defense, Frank Carlucci. At the
same time, the Joint Chiefs of Staff unanimously recommended against
extending his tenure at NSA beyond the typical three years. "It was made
clear to him he was no longer welcome," one source told Bill Gertz of the
Washington Times. Odom had a different take. "I've had a hell of an
impact on this agency," he said. "I've really kicked this agency into line."
Odom's departure opened the way for the Navy to sail back to NSA.
The first naval officer to become DIRNSA since Bobby Inman, Vice
Admiral William O. Studeman seemed almost his clone—apart from the
new director's likeness to Wallace {My Dinner with Andre) Shawn. Like
Inman, Studeman was born in Texas and, also like Inman, he had most
recently been director of Naval Intelligence. "I think it was just fortuitous
that all the stars happened to be in the right place in the heavens," he
said of getting the job. "This is clearly the main gun of the intelligence
He was sworn in as the twelfth NSA director on August 1, 1988; upon
moving into his office on the top floor of Operations Building 2B, he
found a number of problems left over from Odom's disastrous reign.
"There were some morale problems when I came here," Studeman
recalled. "I got the impression that NSA had become quite insular." Odom
also tried to push on Studeman a number of his pet projects. "He clearly
wanted his thrusts to continue and had a vested interest in his thrusts,"
said Studeman.
On top of Odom's agenda was his plan to spend enormous amounts of
money to make his eavesdropping satellites "survivable" in the event of a
Soviet attack. Most senior officials at NSA thought the idea loony. "It was
clear this agency did not want to spend the money on survivability," said
Studeman. "They wanted to spend it on Sigint . . . and there was a sort of
a major effort down there to wait out General Odom or to slow-roll him
on the issues." Studeman also rejected Odom's arguments. "Early on," he
said, "I chopped all those survivability initiatives off. ... I think General
Odom had some frustrations about his ability to make decisions,"
Studeman concluded, "or talk about issues and actually have the system
respond around here."
Studeman also found the agency widely split along cultural lines.
"This place is cut seven ways from Sunday with cultures," he said. "You
have the way NSA itself is organized, whether it's linguists or engineers
or mathematicians or cryptologists or support people. ... Or if it's Army,
Navy, Air Force, or NSA, or whether it's research people and operators, or
When Studeman arrived, the Cold War was still hot and the Reagan
largess continued to flow. Besides expanding its own network of listening
posts around the world, NSA began helping to beef up its partner Sigint
agencies in Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Since the
signing of the UKUSA Communications Intelligence Agreement on March
5, 1946, the partnership had grown continuously. By the late 1980s,
there was barely a corner of the earth not covered by a listening post
belonging to one of the members, or by an American satellite.
A key member of the UKUSA club is Canada's diminutive but
resourceful Communications Security Establishment (CSE), which grew
out of the World War II Examination Unit. In 1946, the Canadian
Department of External Affairs recommended the creation of a new
national signals intelligence organization. Thus was created the
Communications Branch of the National Research Council, with a total
of 179 employees. Britain supplied many of the intercepts for the
fledgling agency, which, by 1962, had grown to about 600 staff members.
In 1975, when the CBNRC still had about the same number of
employees, a series of orders transferred it to the Department of National
Defence, where it took its present name. Situated near the Rideau River
in a suburb of Ottawa known as Confederation Heights, CSE is
headquartered in the nondescript Sir Leonard Tilley Building, at 719
Heron Road. Five stories high and L-shaped, the brown brick building is
surrounded by a high fence and barbed wire. An underground tunnel
connects it to an annex, a windowless $35 million block of cement
designed to prevent any signals from escaping. On the roof is a silver
forest of antennas. By 1996 CSE had more than 900 employees and its
budget was about $116.8 million (Canadian) a year. Manning listening
posts in various parts of Canada are about 1,100 military intercept
operators. Inside, desks are grouped according to the regions of the world
and many employees sit in front of computer screens, their ears cupped
in plastic muffs.
For a time during the late 1970s, as NSA was celebrating its
enormous success with satellite eavesdropping, the CSE was becoming a
dinosaur. The more satellites circled the earth, transmitting rivers of
intercepted data, the less NSA depended on the CSE ground stations
sweeping in over-the-pole signals from the Soviet Union. At the same
time, the CSE's codebreaking organization, O1 Division, was on life
support. Much of the information was still being processed by hand.
Only one person, Ed Cheramy, truly qualified as a cryptanalyst, and even
he worked only on ancient, manual systems. When he died in early 1981,
CSE effectively went out of the codebreaking business for a time. The
agency's computer setup was primitive. According to Canadian
documents, CSE's targets "had become very sophisticated and difficult to
analyze" and its cryptanalytic department "had a poor reputation as a
dead end, being unproductive." In the words of one insider, O1 "had
become obsolete and unreliable."
Thus, in early 1980 a decision was made to bring the organization
back to life. New blood was pumped in. In 1979, Peter Hunt, formerly the
CSE liaison officer to NSA, had taken over as director general of
production, replacing Jack Dornan, who had held the job since way back
in the late 1950s. Within a year, Hunt was named chief of the entire
CSE. As a first step he reached out to NSA for help, sending down one of
his organization's most gifted scientists, Thomas Johnston, who held a
Ph.D. in physics and was a dynamo with advanced math. Johnston
returned with an expensive prescription. It called for aggressive hiring of
mathematicians expert in such esoteric fields as stochastic and Markov
processes, shift register, and polynomial theory. The entire cryptanalytic
staff needed to be rebuilt, and a powerful supercomputer was required.
At the time, CSE's Sigint database was loaded on IBM 370 mainframes,
and obsolete PDP-8 and PDP-11 computers were used for linguistic
The multimillion-dollar price tag for the supercomputer was resisted
by the budget office. Nevertheless, Johnston continued to argue his case.
(In the meantime, he managed to convert one of the IBM computers into
a codebreaking machine able to supply him with the critical daily key on
a foreign cipher system he had been attacking.) At first Johnston pushed
for the purchase of a $3 million—$5 million Control Data Corporation
Cyber 740, largely because NSA was also considering buying one.
Eventually, however, NSA went with the newer, more expensive Cray X-
MP and Johnston was forced to plead for even more money to keep up.
Faced with what NSA calculated was "a 40-year catch-up" in
computer cryptanalysis, the Canadian government finally bit the bullet
and approved the purchase of a slimmed-down Cray, the X-MP/11
(modified). It cost $12,082,000 (Canadian) with the required Cray
maintenance contract and instantly became the most powerful computer
in the country.
The mighty machine was set up in an expansive, air-filtered computer
center. At beige terminals, sixteen cryptanalysts tapped out complex
questions while their mechanical wizard quietly crunched numbers,
spitting out results in illionths of a second. Instructing the whirring
brain was an NSA Sigint software package, the Folklore operating
system. NSA also trained a number of Canadian cryptanalysts and
computer operators in the Cray's use.
Catching up in cryptology was an expensive undertaking. By 1994,
the CSE had spent a whopping $34 million (Canadian) on the X-MP
alone. Over the 1980s, it has been estimated, the modernization of CSE
cost upwards of $100 million. By 2001, the staff had grown to about 900,
upping the annual budget to $98 million. Adding to the cost was a new
twenty-four-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week Canadian Sigint Operations
Center (CANSOC).
Much of the collection is done by intercept operators attached to the
Supplementary Radio System, whose headquarters are at Tunney's
Pasture, in Ottawa. Among the CSE's listening posts are those located at
Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Leitrim, just south of Ottawa in Ontario.
Its antenna farm includes four large satellite dishes, and it listens to
diplomatic communications in and out of Ottawa. At its Gander,
Newfoundland, post the CSE has a giant elephant-cage antenna and
concentrates mostly on naval intercepts. The Gander listening post is
connected with NSA's worldwide Bullseye high-frequency direction-
finding network. Several others are largely operated remotely. These
include Alert on Ellesmere Island in the Northwest Territories, which for
decades has monitored Russian over-the-pole communications, and CFS
Masset in British Columbia, which also has a giant elephant-cage
Among CSE's targets are such allies as Japan, South Korea, and
Mexico. As at NSA, trade intelligence has become a big priority. During
negotiations leading up to the 1992 North American Free Trade
Agreement, CSE intercept operators were very busy. "They spied on the
Mexican trade representative during the NAFTA negotiations," said Jane
Shorten, a former CSE linguist. "I just remember seeing those
summaries. I know my colleagues who were Spanish linguists were
working really hard at that, doing extra hours." Under Project Aquarian,
Shorten monitored South Korean diplomatic reaction to meetings with
Canadian trade officials about the CANDU nuclear reactor. She also
eavesdropped on communications in and out of the South Korean
Embassy in Ottawa.
"Knowledge is power," said Liberal Member of Parliament Derek Lee.
"When we as Canadians sit down with another country to negotiate an
agreement, our negotiators must be possessed of as much knowledge as
they can get their hands on. There isn't a country in the world that
wouldn't do that."
While the Canadians may be the new kids on the block when it comes
to signals intelligence, the British virtually invented Sigint—hundreds of
years before signals even came along. As early as the Elizabethan period,
at least a few people in England knew that the Crown secretly read

All votes have been counted, and seats allocated. At an event at the Results Operation Centre on Saturday evening, the Electoral Commission concluded the 2016 Local Government Elections with the final results announcement.
The IEC's CEO Mosotho Moepya has explained it is important to make it as easy as possible for people to participate. There were an additional 1.3 million voters registered to vote in 2016 he said, and the 58% turnout was a sign that the IEC had succeeded in its endeavour.
According to an Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) study at voting stations, Moepya reported that 96% of voters believed the election were free and fair; 96% voiced general satisfaction with services of the IEC and 92% indicated they strongly trusted the Electoral Commission.
Moepya has said that on average voters spent 16 minutes in the queue waiting to cast their ballots.
With all the results now in for the City of Johannesburg, IEC Chairperson Glen Mashinini announced results by province and metro.
The ANC remains at the top of the list in what has been probably the most contested election ever in democratic South Africa. Having garnered 53,91% of support across the county, the ruling party has taken its biggest knock ever, losing control of two key metropolitan areas, Nelson Mandela Bay and the administrative capital, Tshwane.
The Democratic Alliance (DA), with 26.89% of the vote nationally, must be the biggest winner in this election, taking away both the Nelson Mandela metro and the Tshwane from the ANC.
President Jacob Zuma addressed the gathering, and was surprised by a silent protest by a group of four women, including Simamkele Dlakavu, who held up placards
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), contesting its first local government election, has walked away with some big wins and 8.2% of support across the country. The party also holds kingmaker position in a number of municipalities. The newcomers did not however manage to win even a single council.
The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) also made good stride in 2016, benefitting from the non-participation of the National Freedom Party. With just more than 4% of voters' support across the country, the IFP has still managed to gain control of 7 councils and 427 seats.
There were a total 718 225 spoilt votes (out of a total 39 181 910 ballots in total) amounting to 1.83%. A total of 10 285 seats were up for grabs in this election, in 213 municipalities around the country, for the first time in the history of South African elections
President Jacob Zuma addressed the gathering, and was surprised by a silent protest by a group of four women, including Simamkele Dlakavu, who held up placards. They were later removed by security.
Dlakavu later tweeted "we are all okay."
Members of the Economic Freedom Fighters staged a silent walkout.

Global Competency Certificate
Seattle Central College would like to invite students, faculty and staff to participate in the Global Competency Certificate Program (GCCP) in 2018!
This program's goal is to promote global awareness and understanding. With today's society and job market being the most hyper-connected and multicultural world we've ever seen – having a basic awareness of global differences is critical to success!
The Global Competency Certificate Program (GCCP) includes two 10-week programs – Level One and Level Two – which take place during Winter and Spring quarters (respectively) in 2018. It is an opportunity for faculty, staff, and students to explore international issues and improve one's ability to appreciate, learn and work with people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
In Level One, you will be assigned to a small group of others who have similar goals with the certificate as you. During the Winter Quarter, you will complete 4 activities (individually or as a group), write short individual reflections, meet with your group at least 4 times, and write down reflections from your group meetings.
If you decide to continue to Level Two in the Spring quarter, you will take the International Development Inventory (IDI), an internationally recognized instrument that measures your global understanding. This will "benchmark" your current level of global understanding and allow you to see growth after completing Level Two (when you can retake the test). This test costs $12 and information will be shared on how to register for the test as part of our group.
Level Two will begin within the first 2 weeks of Spring Quarter. You will meet one on one with an IDI administrator and create an individual development plan based on your IDI results, Level One journal content and your self-assessment of Level One growth. Also in Level Two, you will be assigned 3 in-depth readings designed to help further develop your global understanding. Like in Level One, you will submit your reflections on these readings. You can also retake the IDI to see your progress along the IDI scale, which would additionally make you eligible for a $500 travel credit.
To begin your certificate, complete the application (press Apply Now below) and send it to email@example.com or turn it in to BE1102F. You will then get an email before Winter Quarter begins with details on how to begin your journey through the program.
Read more about the Global Competency Program (pdf).
What is Global Competence?
Global competence refers to the acquisition of in–depth knowledge and understanding of international issues, an appreciation of and ability to learn and work with people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, proficiency in a foreign language, and skills to function productively in an interdependent world community. This definition contains four basic elements:
- International awareness. This constitutes the knowledge and understanding of world history, socioeconomic and political systems, health and environmental issues, and other global events. This awareness includes the understanding that local and national events can have international implications. An individual who is aware of the broader world environment also recognizes that an individual's actions can affect others beyond one's own borders.
- Appreciation of cultural diversity. This entails the ability to know, understand, and appreciate people from other cultures along with the capacity to acknowledge other points of view about pressing world issues. Awareness and appreciation of cross–cultural differences, and the willingness to accept those differences, opens doors for opportunities to engage in productive and respectful cross–cultural relations.
- Proficiency in foreign languages. The ability to understand, read, write, and speak in more than one language enhances cross–cultural communication skills. The knowledge of additional languages opens doors to the understanding of other cultures and people who speak those languages.
- Competitive skills. The ability to compete globally entails the acquisition of extensive knowledge of international issues. To be able to compete, students need high–level thinking skills that enhance creativity and innovation. Students who gain a thorough understanding of the economic, social, and technological changes taking place across the globe enhance their ability to compete in the worldwide marketplace.
Excerpt from National Education Association, Washington D.C.
Develop Your Global Competence at Seattle Central
- Cross–Cultural Interactions: Build relationships with literally thousands of refugee and immigrant students or staff and/or international students on campus. We have one of the most diverse campuses in the United States. Participate in conversation partners or tutoring to non–native English speaking students. Focus on cross–cultural communication with others in ways that provide insights into how people from other cultures experience Seattle, the College, the world and more specifically, how their experiences are similar and/or different from your own.
- Committees/Clubs: Join one of the many cross culturally–oriented clubs on campus or get involved with Multi–Cultural Services initiatives.
- Classes: Enroll in classes at Seattle Central, at other colleges or in the community that focus on cross–cultural communication and relations. Check out continuing education offerings, too. Foreign language classes also usually include cultural components.
- Volunteer or intern at culturally–based organizations in Seattle through Seattle Central's service learning and internship offices.
- Books: You can purchase or borrow from the library. Read books that are based in cross–cultural settings and describe and explain patterns of cultural difference and similarity. The settings can be domestic or international and the books could be non–fiction or fiction, but they will often provide insights into the history and cultural norms of diverse groups.
- Theatre, Film & Arts: Attend cross–cultural movies, plays and other artistic exhibits and performances at Seattle Central's Broadway Performance Hall or other campus locations. You will increase your own cultural self–awareness as well as learn about other cultural perspectives. Note: The Seattle International Film Festival is right next door to the College!
- Cultural Visits to specific sites in the community around Seattle Central, across the country or internationally (if you'll be travelling abroad) can increase your knowledge about diverse cultural experiences. Beyond visiting and learning about Poulsbo and the International District, here is a link to Seattle Cultural Heritage guides which also includes museums in Seattle.
Through Seattle Central's Programs Abroad:
- Enroll in one of many programs such as quarter length study abroad, Teach in China, Global Impact and others. Apply for a scholarship!
- While overseas, become fully immersed in local culture, reflecting on similarities and differences between your native cultural norms and the country you are visiting. How about some cross–culturally focused travelling where you can systematically observe and engage cultural diversity such as how people interact, make decisions, share information, and treat "visitors"? Don't forget to journal!
- Build relationships with local people. Ask them questions and let them serve as a window to the new culture.

|Top Previous Next
Controller/panel selection is made through the Customize Platform dialog, accessible through the Project Settings dialog.
For monochrome controllers/panels (see lcd.paneltype) the lcd.bitsperpixel will return 1, that is, the pixel can only be on or off. For grayscale panels, this value will be >1, which indicates that each pixel can be set to a number of brightness levels. For example, if the lcd.bitsperpixel=4, then each pixel's brightness can be adjusted in 16 steps.
For color panels, this property reflects the combined number of red, green, and blue bits available for each pixel (see lcd.redbits, lcd.greenbits, and lcd.bluebits).
The number of bits per pixel affects how lcd.forecolor, lcd.backcolor, and lcd.setpixel are interpreted. Also, the output produced by lcd.bmp depends on this property.

Houston is a bustling metroplex; we are well known for our restaurants and fine dining. Katy is no different. As a suburb of the largest city in Texas we have plenty of dining options as well. Sure there are a lot of chains here, but some of the best food you'll find comes from locally owned businesses that put their heart and soul into their menus and dining experiences.
So without further ado here are the top five locally owned restaurants in Katy:
1. Victors: Casa Garcia: Victor's is a Katy staple. owned and operated by Victor Garcia this tex-mex Katy favorite is sure to please the whole family. The Katy location has a great playground for the little ones and strong margaritas for mom and dad. Try the shrimp tacos, they're some of the best in town. If you're in Fulshear and don't want to make the drive to North Fry Victor's son, Juan, has opened up a sister location in Fulshear.
2. Antonia's: If you're looking for some amazing homestyle Itlaian food look no further than Antonia's by Katy Mills Mall. The food is amazing, the wine selection is impressive, and the service is unparalleled. The small intimate atmosphere is great for date night, but the bright windows ad relaxed setting is perfect for a mid week lunch as well.
3. Los Cucos: You want to talk about a Katy staple? The original Los Cucos in Old Katy has been a favorite in Katy for generations. Now this legendary restaurant has many locations in and around Katy. Don't miss this amazing Tex Mex next time you have a craving for tacos.
4. Good Ole Boys: For some authentic southern cooking this small locally owned Cajun joint is worth the drive just outside of Katy. Some say this is the best crawfish outside of Louisiana. When it's not crawfish season be sure to swing by for an old fashioned fish fry and live music.
5. Three Olives: For great Italian right in Cinco Ranch. Just walking in you can smell the delicious sauces. With filling food at a decent price and brunch on the weekends you can't go wrong with Three Olives.

Sweet female kitty needs forever home
My kitten (Eevee) is about 4-5 months old. Comes with litter box, litter, food, and a few toys. She is a great cat, friendly with dogs, other cats, and children. Unfortunately I can no longer keep her, I am asking a $50 rehoming fee to ensure she goes to a good, safe home. I am sad to let her go, but I have no choice as I can't have cats where I'm moving.

For some reason shortly after 3:30am when our acronis took our mail server offline to do its image - messages started to build up on our GFI mail essentials machine. I looked at the IIS SMTP remote queue and it was about 1700 messages. After restarted Ex 5.5 on the server several times along with the gfi machine to no avail I stopped the IIS Smtp service on the GFI machine and renamed c:\inetpub\mailroot\queue to queue.old. Restarted the machine recreated the queue folder and everything started flowing to and from exchange recipients. I unfortunately need a way to deal with the 1700 .eml files that were in the original queue folder. I have come across a couple articles on replaying the SMTP .eml files but most references EXCH2007. Anyone have any ideas how to make this work? I have tried moving a couple from queue.old to queue hoping they'd redeliver but no dice so far.

Did you reach any conclusion?
We have a similar problem. Exchange 2010SP2, GFI MailEssentials 14 running on our IIS SMTP Relay server (Virtual W2k3 Server).
It doesn't seem to be backup related, the problem happens from time to time.
It happen about a month ago but this week it already stopped 3 times.
After server reboot everything get's back to normal.

The TUC this week accused the Government of behaving like Robert Maxwell over its handling of the pension crisis and called for a concerted campaign against No 10 until the situation has been resolved.
At the TUC annual congress in Brighton this week, Association of Teachers and Lecturers deputy general secretary Gerald Imison said the Government had failed to learn the lessons from Maxwell by playing with public sector pension funds as though they were Government property.
The TUC is calling for a united front against the Government, including public and private sector unions, the pensioners' movement, a national demonstration and possible strike action.
Union members are also laying blame at the door of employers, with Transport and General Workers' Union general secretary Tony Woodley launching a scathing attack on employers, claiming "naked, shameless robbery by the fat cats" who he believes have stolen £19bn from pension funds.
TUC demands are relatively unchanged since last year, with calls for compulsory employer contributions of at least 10 per cent. However, union bosses say they intend to increase the pressure in the coming months.
Woodley said: "We must stop complaining and start campaigning. If the Government can find billions of pounds for an illegal war, they can find billions of pounds for pensions."
Public and Commercial Services Union general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "If we cannot secure an agreed way forward, we need a day of action as part of a sustained campaign linking up with our European counterparts."
Imison says: "The Government has to accept that there is a pension crisis and that it is crucial to find a solution if the financial burden of retired people on the state is not to spiral out of control."
A Treasury spokesman says: "We take these issues very seriously. This is why we are bringing in pension protection from the Pensions Green Paper."

New York, NY – June 10, 2009 – (RealEstateRama) – Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today announced the creation of the Recovery Zone Facility Bond Program to provide financial assistance to commercial and industrial projects in all five boroughs that are unable to get traditional financing due to current economic conditions. The program, to be administered by New York City Economic Development Corporation, will be funded by what is expected to be more than $200 million in funding made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Eligible projects may include the construction of office buildings, large industrial facilities or retail complexes.
"The Recovery Zone Facility Bond Program is another tool the City will use to help get stalled projects back on track and jump-start those on hold due to lack of adequate financing," said Mayor Bloomberg. "This program will be tremendously helpful in ensuring long-term growth for the future, and building more attractive and livable neighborhoods and creating jobs for New Yorkers. We urge anyone with a project they think might be eligible to apply for this timely financing assistance. New York City's Congressional delegation deserves credit for helping create the program, particularly Senator Schumer and Congressman Rangel."
"Anyone who has a project that is stalled due to current economic challenges should apply for this program," said EDC President Seth W. Pinsky. "We intend to use this program to attract applications for a diverse array of projects. EDC can offer financial assistance in a variety of ways, including tax-exempt bond financing, sales, mortgage recording and real estate tax incentives and discounted energy rates. This new program is being offered on top of other programs available for smaller projects."
The Recovery Zone Facility Bond Program will offer financial assistance in the form of triple-tax-exempt private activity bonds issued through New York City Industrial Development Agency or the New York City Capital Resource Corporation. Triple-tax exempt bond financing allows borrowers to obtain lower rates and longer and more flexible terms than more typical forms of financing because investors in the bonds are not subject to federal, state or city income tax on the earnings on their investment. Recovery Zone Facility Bonds must be issued by December 31, 2010.
To allow for quick action when the funds are allocated, the Industrial Development Agency and Capital Resource Corporation Boards gave preliminary approval to amend their Uniform Tax Exempt Policy to accommodate the program. The Boards also approved designated Recovery Zones in the five boroughs, which are made up of economically distressed areas lying within existing Empowerment Zones and Empire Zones, and areas that are currently eligible for Industrial Development Agency and New Market Tax Credit benefits. Applications for the program will be available starting today. Because the bonds must be issued by the end of 2010, applications for projects that can begin or be re-started immediately will be processed first, followed by projects with longer lead times.
To be eligible for the program, projects must be located in a designated Recovery Zone, have the ability to move forward and obtain all required permits and approvals quickly and require financing between $20 and $100 million. Projects requiring less than $20 million may be considered if their return to the City or impact on the community is deemed significant. Additional selection criteria include a project's return to the City, job creation potential, and economic and environmental impact on the community. Projects will ultimately require approval by the Industrial Development Agency or Capital Resource Corporation Boards. Applications for the Recovery Zone Facility Bond Program will also be evaluated to determine eligibility for other Economic Development Corporation programs.
The Recovery Zone Facility Bond Program is available to private development in a manner similar to the New York Liberty Bond Program, which was developed following the events of September 11, 2001, and was administered by EDC and Empire State Development Corporation. The Liberty Bond Program provided low cost bond financing for major projects that contributed a great deal to the revitalization of Lower Manhattan and ensured the City's long-term economic health.
The program is the newest tool available to the Industrial Development Agency and Capital Resource Corporation to help New York City companies prosper and grow in the City, create and retain jobs, and make the City's neighborhoods more livable. Since January 2002, they have closed on 330 transactions, leveraging approximately $11.8 billion in private financing, with 85,212 jobs retained in New York City as a result. This past year has presented businesses of all sizes with unparalleled challenges. However, despite this difficult climate in fiscal year 2009, Industrial Development Agency and Capital Resource Corporation incentives helped facilitate the private investment in New York City from private companies of approximately $392 million. These private investments are being used to acquire, renovate, furnish and equip industrial, manufacturing and other facilities throughout the five boroughs. These projects are retaining and creating approximately 8,550 full-time equivalent jobs.
To apply for the Recovery Zone Facility Bond Program, call 311, or visit www.nyc.gov.
To maintain accountability and transparency in the City's use of stimulus funding, all such funding allocated to New York City can be closely tracked at www.nyc.gov/stimulustracker. ARRA dollars can be tracked from initial allocation through project completion. In addition, the public can track key performance measures – such as jobs created – showing how these projects and programs benefit the City.
The City's Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan is a comprehensive strategy to bring New York City through the current economic downturn as fast as possible. It focuses on three major areas: creating jobs for New Yorkers today, implementing a long-term vision for growing the city's economy, and building affordable, attractive neighborhoods in every borough. Taken together, the initiatives that the City has launched to achieve these goals will generate thousands of jobs and put New York City on a path to economic recovery and growth.

John Battelle has got his hand on a transcript from the on-going legal battle between Google and Microsoft over Google's hiring of Kai-Fu Lee. The statement of an MSFT engineer that has moved to Google reads in part:
Prior to joining Google, I set up a meeting on or about November 11, 2004 with Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer to discuss my planned departure….At some point in the conversation Mr. Ballmer said: "Just tell me it's not Google." I told him it was Google.
At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: "Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Google." ….
Thereafter, Mr. Ballmer resumed trying to persuade me to stay….Among other things, Mr. Ballmer told me that "Google's not a real company. It's a house of cards."

Samsung's head of mobile has said that everyone who wants a Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8 Plus at launch will be able to get one and has promised the company will not run out of phones due to high demand.
Speaking with Korean media, DJ Koh said: "We set the initial supply of Galaxy S8 double the Galaxy S7.
"Since we are preparing the supply without difficulty, there will be no issue of supply delay."
Get up to speed with the Galaxy S8's key features in our one-stop guide.
That will be good news for those planning to pre–order the handset or get it in store when from 28th April.
Koh said Samsung was readying an initial 20 million units, suggesting the company expects its two new devices to be a hit from the get-go.
Samsung's bullishness points towards it getting over last year's Galaxy Note 7 problems, which saw it discontinue its then-flagship phone due to exploding batteries.
The phone's glitches are said to be behind Samsung's decision to launch the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus later than planned.
Both the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are available to pre–order now, costing £689 and £779 SIM–free respectively.
