Alhamdulillah, today's is the concluding part on the Series 'Images from Seerah's Album'.
Image his pattern
I have shown you twelve pictures from five different parts of my album. They are now with you. It is my desire that you decorate them in the frame of your heart and keep them there forever.
I wish your ears could remain attentive to their message, your eyes fixed on them, your heart fond of them. Keeping them before yousrelf as a criterion, have a look at your own life, your character, values, morals and deeds. That is why it has been said:
'You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern of conduct.' (Surah Al Ahzaab 33:21)
All the beauty and elegance has been exhibited through the life of Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be on him). Whoever is in search of beauty, he should begin by taking up the begging bowl of longing and love and follow the pattern (uswa).
This hymn to beauty is not being sung with a view to be heard and applauded, or that it should be recited and reproduced, or that it should move its audiences to tears. No, it is not being sung to that end. It must have a lasting imprint on our lives and deeds. We should imbibe the beauty and spirit of these images and mould ourselves according to them and should take on their hue and color. Our life should reflect the same objectives, the same passion, and the same manners that are reflected in these images.
Now you might ask about the method by which we can develop in ourselves a yearning desire, a rock-hard determination, unflinching courage and immense capability needed to follow and emulate the grand model. Can our life in some degree reflect the same beauty?
The answer to your question has already been given in the same verse of the Qur'an in the first part of which this 'uswa' has been praised. When you read the complete verse you learn about the provisions needed to complete this journey successfully. It has been stated that in the example of the Prophet (sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam) is the Best Guidance for anyone whose hope lies in God and the Final Day and who remembers his Lord Allah constantly. Hope in Allah and the Final Day and frequently remembering Allah are the two things that can make your journey light.
The words "believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment" do not occur in this verse; rather, the word 'yarjoo' has been used. That means the faith that is needed is not a verbal declaration rather a faith that can help us concentrate all our hopes, wishes, desires and efforts on Allah and the Day of Judgment
You may read and listen to the biography of the Prophet (sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam) again and again, you cannot inculcate in yourself the needed initiative and grit unless you take to remembering Allah often and fix your gaze at your Lord and the Final Day.
There are many ways to remember Allah: to testify your faith in Him, to glorify Him, to sing His praises, to express your gratitude, to declare His Greatness, to accept His Unity, to stand long before Him, to expend in His way, to bear hunger and thirst for Him, to go round His house again and again. One very important way of remembering Allah is to call people to His worship, to deliver his message to them, to propagate His Deen, to strive hard and offer sacrifices in His way.
Prophet Moses was sent to the Pharaoh's court. He was given the duty to stand before that Godless tyrant and invite him to the worship of Allah and to liberate the people of Israel from his bondage. Moses expressed his weakness, lack of resources, the stammer in his tongue and his other shortcomings, and implored that his heart be opened, his work be made easy for him, his tongue fluent, so that people should understand him. He asked for this 'so that we glorify You often and remember You again and again.'
The remembrance that he sought was not to sit in a corner and glorify Allah (on beads); rather he was going to appear in the court of a tyrant king and calling him to his Lord Allah. For these two things Moses uses the words 'tasbeeh' and 'zikr'. In the same way Allah, the High, addresses him: "Beware, lest you should be negligent toward My remembrance." Here also the word 'zikr' has clearly been used in the meaning of 'calling people to the Lord". At another place Allah Ta'aala attaches 'zikr' with the best of His tidings and says, "Remember Me, and I will remember you." This verse has been beautifully embedded between two verses in the Qur'an. The first verse is where the order for changing the 'direction' (Qiblah) has been given. It was a sign that a new 'Ummah' was being raised in the world to carry the banner of Islam.
There it is said: "We have sent among you, of yourselves, a Messenger, to recite Our signs to you and to purify you and to teach you the Book and the Wisdom and to teach you what you knew not." Then comes the second verse. It reads: "Seek you help in patience and prayer; surely God is with the patient. And say not of those slain in God's way, They are dead'; rather they are living but you are not aware" After this it is said: "Surely We will try you with something of fear and hunger, and diminution of goods and lives and fruits; yet give you good tidings unto the patient." Between these two statements this verse has been placed: "So remember Me, and I will remember you; and be thankful to Me; and be not ungrateful to Me." Because I have opened to you the path of guidance; I have blessed you with an opportunity to tread this path. This is My favor to you. You should not ignore it lest you be ungrateful. And remember Me and prepare yourself for the hardships of My way and bear them with patience.
Let us consider this from another angle. The first revelation in the cave, Hira, brings the message 'Read!' The second revelation brings the order 'Stand up and warn". So before any commands about prayers, fasting, zakat, and hajj or any other commands in Islam, the first order is 'Read!' so that you become acquainted with Allah's message and the second command is to 'Stand up' and 'call people to the way of their Lord and warn them. This means that the duty of "da'wah" is such as should never be avoided. The most prominent thing in the 'uswa' of the Prophet is that he stood up and started warning his people and calling them to Allah and striving to establish the Greatness of Allah.
These images from the Prophet's life call upon you to invite the people of your township, your neighborhood, your college, school and university, your factories, your household and your extended family, to Allah and deliver them the message from your Lord. You have been given this responsibility. One of them can stand up on the "Final Day and file a case against you bewailing that this is the man who knew Allah's message, was claimant of spreading it and establishing its supremacy. The Truth was quite evident on him, yet he did not invite us to it.
Learn to feel intensely of the responsibility of da'wah and accountability before Allah. Devote all your time and energy towards this goal. Work with love and dedication. Love your God and love His message. Be kind and considerate to your companions, and everyone around you. If you behave that way, there is no reason that the message you hold dear should remain confined or fail to reach every nook and corner of the world.
May Allah have mercy on us and fill our hearts with a longing to follow the footsteps of His beloved Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him). Ameen.
O Allah! Have mercy on Muhammad and the on the family of Muhammad just like You had mercy on Ibrahim and on the family of Ibrahim.
O, Allah! Bless Muhammad just like you blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. You are worthy of all praise, Majestic and Glorious.
Sal-lal-laahu-'Ala Muhammad, Sal-lal-laahu-'Alaihi Wasallam!

Children and Youth Programming During Safe Distancing
Sunday School for children has paused for summer. Questions? Please contact Ayana Grady at email@example.com. Our nursery is closed until further notice. Youth meetings have also paused for summer. Contact Ayana to get on the mailing list.
Regular Programming for Children and Youth
Children and youth are an important and valued part of the St. John's parish family. For our youngest members under three years old, a fully staffed nursery is available during the 9:15 and 11:15 a.m. Sunday services (10:00 a.m. during the month of July). St. John's Children's Ministry consists of many lively, spirit-filled activities and classes for children from three years of age through 5th grade, including Sunday School, which takes place during the 9:15 a.m. service (10:00 a.m. during the month of July). At Sunday School, children meet in the Parish Hall for an age-appropriate, Bible-based lesson. After some fun, a craft, and a snack, the children come into the Church to join their parents for Communion. We also have a monthly Family Service. Please check our calendar for dates.
EYC, or Episcopal Youth Community, is our youth group, and all youth (grades 6 through 12) are welcome! The groups are designed to give youth a place where they can have fun, meet life-long friends, be supported, and deepen their faith in Christ. Growing in maturity and in faith is easier and more fun when we grow together!
During the summer, St. John's partners with Cornerstone Kids at St. James House of Prayer to present Vacation Bible School.

When I heard Mile High Youth Corps would have a crew working in the Hayman Burn Area this summer and fall, I was very supportive and enthusiastic. My enthusiasm stemmed from my recent memory of this enormous fire. It seems like yesterday that Denver had orange hued skies, I closed down the pool where I was lifeguarding because of falling ash, and watched the fire blazing from Cranmer Park near the Cherry Creek Mall in the evenings.
In contrast to the summer of 2002, when Governor Bill Owens said "all of Colorado is burning"; this summer, it is great to see MHYC Corpsmembers hard at work restoring the burn area to be usable recreation space once again. Instead of passively watching the news of devastation and feeling like there is nothing I can do to help, as I did in 2002, I am happy to feel like I can make a difference this year by helping to recruit young adults to serve on our Hayman crew for the fall.
2002: "It looked, honest to God, what I picture Hiroshima must have looked like," Sherrie Muldoon said.
2010: MHYC Corpsmembers build new trail
2002: The Hayman burned the forest floor and blackened virtually every tree
2010: Corpsmembers use sawyer skills for fire fuel mitigation work
Hayman: The final facts
From the Rocky Mountain News
Started: June 8, 2002. Reported by U.S. Forest Service worker Terry L. Barton at 4 p.m.
Where: About 8 miles northwest of Lake George in the Pike National Forest in a campfire ring.
Named for: A mining ghost town near Tappan Gulch.
Total size: 137,000 acres, equivalent to 214 square miles, or the size of Denver and Boulder combined.
Estimated date of containment: Today at 6 p.m., the 21st day of the fire.
Cause: Illegal campfire, allegedly started by Barton, 38, who has been arrested and faces four felony counts that could result in 17 years in prison.
Structures lost: 133 homes; 1 commercial building; 484 outbuildings.
People evacuated: Nearly 8,000.
Personnel assigned: 2,564 firefighters at the peak of the fire.
Cost to date: $27.8 million; could reach $52 million.
2010: Contribute to Hayman restoration efforts as a Fall Land Conservation Camping Corpsmember. Apply online or contact Alexandra (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information.

From DSC:
After reviewing the article below, I wondered...if we need to interact with content to learn it…how might mixed reality allow for new ways of interacting with such content? This is especially intriguing when we interact with that content with others as well (i.e., social learning).
Perhaps Mixed Reality (MR) will bring forth a major expansion of how we look at "blended learning" and "hybrid learning."
Mixed Reality Will Transform Perceptions — from forbes.com by Alexandro Pando
Excerpts (emphasis DSC):
Changing How We Perceive The World One Industry At A Time
Part of the reason mixed reality has garnered this momentum within such short span of time is that it promises to revolutionize how we perceive the world without necessarily altering our natural perspective. While VR/AR invites you into their somewhat complex worlds, mixed reality analyzes the surrounding real-world environment before projecting an enhanced and interactive overlay. It essentially "mixes" our reality with a digitally generated graphical information.
All this, however, pales in comparison to the impact of mixed reality on the storytelling process. While present technologies deliver content in a one-directional manner, from storyteller to audience, mixed reality allows for delivery of content, then interaction between content, creator and other users. This mechanism cultivates a fertile ground for increased contact between all participating entities, ergo fostering the creation of shared experiences. Mixed reality also reinvents the storytelling process. By merging the storyline with reality, viewers are presented with a wholesome experience that's perpetually indistinguishable from real life.
Mixed reality is without a doubt going to play a major role in shaping our realities in the near future, not just because of its numerous use cases but also because it is the flag bearer of all virtualized technologies. It combines VR, AR and other relevant technologies to deliver a potent cocktail of digital excellence.

Why do health experts encourage us to "eat the rainbow?" It's because eating a rainbow of produce (no, not Skittles) is one of the best things we can do for our bodies.
The variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals in fruits and veggies have enormous healing powers, so a colorful plate generally means a more nutritious plate. While the advice to "eat the rainbow" is often used with kids, adults need a diversity of foods in their diets, too!
We tend to be more motivated to eat well when we understand the impact that foods have on our bodies. So, let's take a few minutes to learn more about each color group and how it helps us stay healthy.
Supports heart, memory and urinary tract health. Red fruits and veggies also help prevent cancer.
Good examples of red fruits and vegetables are tomatoes, cranberries, apples, red onions, watermelon, grapefruit, cherries, red peppers, pomegranates, beets and raspberries.
Feeling adventurous? Go for guava!
Support eye health, immune function and healthy growth and development
Good examples of yellow and orange fruits and vegetables are clementines, carrots, oranges, squash, pumpkin, pineapple, lemon, bananas, peaches, corn, cantaloupe and sweet potatoes.
Feeling adventurous? Make a mango smoothie!
Helps to reduce the risk of cancer, promote vision health, and maintain strong bones
Good examples of green fruits and vegetables are spinach, lettuce, grapes, kiwi, avocados, cucumber, zucchini, kale, brussel sprouts and broccoli.
Feeling adventurous? Bring home some Bok Choy!
Help improve cognitive function, support healthy aging and fight cancer. The darker the pigment, the better!
Good examples of blue and purple fruits and vegetables are blueberries, blackberries, eggplant, figs, plums and grapes.
Feeling adventurous? Acai is full of antioxidants!
Supports healthy bones, the circulatory system, and arterial function
Examples of white fruits and vegetables include mushrooms, garlic, cauliflower, pears, potatoes and onions.
Feeling adventurous? Roast some rutabaga!

Tasmanian Theatre Fund
Peers from the Cultural and Creative Industries Expert Register did not recommend any theatre applications for support under these programs.
The Tasmanian Government recognises the valuable contribution that theatre organisations make to the State's thriving cultural and creative industries, and has committed new funds of $400 000 over two years to support the sector through a special Tasmanian Theatre Fund.
Arts Tasmania will call for Expressions of Interest to the Tasmanian Theatre Fund in the coming weeks.
Feedback from the expert peers
The peers provided the following feedback for current and future applicants:
- It is critical for arts organisations to provide planning documents that are related to the timeframe for which they are seeking funding. Strategic and business plans provided were sometimes out of date or about to expire, and this made consideration of the forward planning difficult for peers.
- Proper remuneration for artists is a vital aspect of any application. Applicants are directed to Arts Tasmania's artist remuneration guidelines to assist with this.
- For applications that are based on working with or within communities, it is important to describe any consultation that may have taken place, or outline plans for consultation. Letters of support from appropriate representatives of community are highly regarded in these instances.
- Applicants that articulate a desire to work with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community are directed to Arts Tasmania's online resource Respecting Cultures, and should discuss their project with Arts Tasmania's Aboriginal Arts Officer.
- If artists are named in an application, it is critical that they are aware that they are being named. On some occasions, artists were noted as being engaged (or confirmed) when this was not the case.
- Letters of support are important documents that allow assessors to hear your project described in the voice of those who know the work of the organisation, including the benefits to artists and/or communities. Letters of support should be relevant to the application being submitted. They should not be form documents or reused from previous grant rounds.
- Artistic support material should be relevant to the application and be of such a quality that peers are able to consider the artistic quality of the application. Weblinks should be active and up-to-date.

When the first missionaries came to Alberta, they were fiercely opposed by a young chief of the Cree tribe named Maskepetoon. Eventually, however, he responded to the gospel and became a Christian. Shortly after his conversion, a member of the Blackfoot tribe killed his father. Maskepetoon rode into the village where the murderer lived and demanded that he be brought to him. Confronting the guilty man, he said, "You have killed my father, so now you must be my father. You shall ride my best horse and wear my best clothes." In utter amazement and remorse, his enemy exclaimed, "My son, now you have killed me!" He meant, of course, that the hate in his own heart had been completely erased by the incredible forgiveness of the Cree chief. (1)
Now here's the question: Where did Maskepetoon get the power to forgive?
Our gospel tell us, "When it was evening on that day, on the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." When he had said this, he breathe on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; and if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
One of the great certainties in almost any relationship is that there are bound to be failures and breakdowns. At some point the honeymoon ends. And not just with marriage but with any relationship: a friend, a neighbor, a colleague, a co-worker, or even among church members. Quite simply, troubled relationships are a fact of life. So how do we handle them?
The gospel tells us that Christians have been given the power to forgive. Yes, I know…it's hard to forgive, especially when we are the victims of some unjustified injury. And yet, we Christians are followers of Jesus who has forgiven us for our sins, and now calls us to forgive others. One could even say that a distinctive mark of a Christian is to forgive others as God forgives us. That, at least, is what we pray every time we say the Lord's Prayer.
Forgiveness is primarily a matter of the will. It's a matter of the heart catching up with the head. It's constantly reiterating to ourselves our need to forgive – until forgiveness becomes part of us and enters deep into our wounded feelings.
I remember a wise old Jesuit priest telling me, "If you can't forgive someone, then pray for the desire to forgive." That's good advice. We need to be motivated to forgive. So let me offer you three reasons why we should forgive someone who hurts us.
First and foremost, we forgive for God's sake. On the cross when Jesus gave his life for us, he prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." You and I have received the underserved, unmerited mercy of God. God gave it because God loves us and wants the best for us. As we have received God's forgiveness, so we should extend that forgiveness to others – not because they deserve it but precisely because they don't. In fact, forgiveness is never a matter of our deserving. It's not our right to receive, but rather it's a gift to give. What is not ours by merit, God gives by mercy.
God's forgiveness precedes our repentance. I realize this goes against our normal way of thinking. We like to think that God's forgiveness is a response to our repentance – we say we're sorry, and God forgives. But when we put that kind of logic into practice, we end up refusing to forgive an offender until he or she has apologized and maybe even made restitution for the offense. That way of acting may be perfectly proper in a court of law, but it is heresy in the context of grace. So let's get it straight. Repentance is a response to forgiveness, but forgiveness is never merited by repentance. Forgiveness precedes repentance. Repentance accepts forgiveness.
An employee who had been stealing from his company was summoned to the office of the senior partner after he had been caught. The least this employee could expect was a blistering dismissal; he might even be charged with a crime and sent to prison. The partner called his name and asked if he were guilty. The employee stammered out that he had no defense. "I shall not dismiss you or charge you with a crime," said the partner, who was himself an elderly man. "If I take you back, can I trust you?" When the surprised and broken employee gave his assurance and was about to leave the office, the senior partner continued, "You are the second man who had fallen and been pardoned in this business. I was the first. What you have done, I did. The mercy you have received, I received.
It's only the grace of God that can keep us both."
Here is forgiveness that knows mercy because it has received mercy. It can pardon because it has been pardoned. God, who has forgiven us is beyond our deserving, calls us to forgive others beyond their deserving. We forgive for God's sake.
But second, we also forgive for the offender's sake. Forgiveness which precedes repentance may also result in repentance. Quite simply, forgiveness has the power to change lives. None of us want enemies in life. The question is, "How do we overcome our enemies?"
The world says to out-hate them, but God says to out-love them. St. Peter says that "love covers a multitude of sins" – even, we may add, the sins of those we find hard to forgive. This is no prissy ethic. When love springs from the wronged party to the one who has wronged us, it has the power to heal and even to convert.
During the Korean War, a South Korean Christian, a civilian, was arrested by the communists and ordered shot. But when the young communist leader learned that the prisoner was in charge of an orphanage caring for small children, he decided to spare him and kill his son instead. So they shot the 19-year-old boy in the presence of his father. Later, the fortunes of war changed, and the young communist leader was captured by United Nations forces, tried for war crimes, and condemned to death. However, before the sentence could be carried out, the Christian whose boy had been killed pleaded for the life of the killer. He declared that he was young and that he really did not know what he was doing because of communist indoctrination. "Give him to me," said the father, "and I will train him."
The United Nations forces granted the request, and that father took the murderer of his son into his own home and cared for him like his own son. That young communist eventually became a Christian pastor, leading many post-war South Koreans to faith in Jesus Christ.
Now I am not saying that forgiveness will always lead to conversion or even reconciliation. I doubt if many members of ISIS or other Islamic terrorist groups would change their way of thinking by our forgiveness. Hatred will always be encountered in this life, but the point is, it is always to be met with love. Yes, self-defence is a legitimate part of the Christian love ethic, but we must never take vengeance on anyone. Forgiveness, after all, is an invitation to enter into relationship. Like any invitation it may be declined. Our business is to offer it, but not set ourselves up for another injury. And who knows? An enemy may become a friend by the forgiveness we extend.
We forgive for God's sake. We forgive for the offender's sake. But we also forgive for our sake. Forgiveness is not simply a matter of self-sacrifice. It's a matter of self-interest. Unless we forgive the offender, we will always hurt from the offense. And hurting people are not happy people.
Psychologists tell us that if couples do not deal with their hurt at the time of divorce, they will bring that hurt into a second marriage. Unable to forgive their first spouse, they will end up hurting the second. That's what happens when we allow a wrong done to us to take control of us – we end up doing worse to others.
Hurt left unhealed destroy us. It makes us less human as we become increasingly bitter. And not only our spiritual growth but our physical and emotional well-being are threatened. Heart attacks, stress and high blood pressure can all be symptoms of a lack of forgiveness. Some studies have even suggested that cancer is related to an angry or bitter spirit.
Forgiveness is therapy for our hurt. Picture it like this: When we suffer a wrong, we feel wounded. Forgiveness is a way of healing that wound. No longer scarred by the wounds of the past, we can live holistically in the present. Just as important, in living a life of forgiveness, we die in the assurance that we are forgiven.
In The Death of Ivan Illich, Leo Tolstoy tells the story of a man who was incurably ill. He was very unhappy, and angry with his life, his children, the doctor, and all who tried to help him. He had a very strict code of conduct and judged himself so severely that he could neither forgive himself nor forgive others. But he finally began to abandon his rigid code and accepted the forgiveness of God into his life. Warts and all – God loved him. Warts and all – he began to love others. When he died, his death was not viewed as a tragedy but a triumph – the triumph of a soul who overcame the hurts in his own life and became an instrument of healing to others.
Forgive for God's sake – because God has forgiven you. Forgive for the offender's sake – because our forgiveness may change lives. Forgive for your sake – because the only way to be a whole person is to stop being a hurting person.
Sister Helen Prejean, in her book Dead Man Walking, tells the story of Lloyd LeBlanc, a Roman Catholic layman, whose son was murdered. When he arrived in the field with the sheriffs' deputies to identify his son, LeBlanc immediately knelt by his boy's body and prayed the Lord's Prayer. When he came to the words: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us," he realized the depth of the commitment he was making. "Whoever did this, I must forgive them," he later told Sister Helen. Though it has been difficult not to be overcome by bitterness and feelings of revenge that well up from time to time, LeBlanc said that each day, for the rest of his life, forgiveness must be prayed for and struggled for and won. (2)
Dear people: forgiveness is God's remedy for our hurt. Too many of us suffer needlessly because of a refusal to forgive. Too many of us live with the pain of the past because we have yet to make peace with the present. The tragedy is, the more we harbor an unforgiving spirit toward others, the more unforgiven we will feel ourselves. Only when we root out the hurt in our own hearts and take it to the cross where it belongs – only then will we live free and fulfilling lives.

Virtual Reality and Museum: An Educational Application for Museum Education
This paper discusses the development of a virtual reality museum. An effort was made so that the virtual museum represents the Byzantine, medieval museum in Rhodes as closely as possible. Simple and low cost tools were used to allow rapid development of relatively good quality applications. This was attempted to validate our belief that the construction of VR applications is within the abilities of the majority of computer users. In this case and taking into account the well documented educational value of VR, it would be possible to assert that teachers could construct and use VR applications in their everyday teaching.

The pressure in the air around you is actually quite strong nearly 14.7 pounds per square inch! Normally, its effects go unnoticed. Your body is not only used to this external force, it depends on it: this is why its often uncomfortable on aircrafts where the ambient pressure is lower than at the earths surface. When you fill a bag with air, the pressure in the bag is equalized with the ambient atmosphere. The bag is comfortable with its surroundings, like you are at sea level. However, when you start to remove air from the container, a pressure difference is created between the inside of bag (higher pressure) and the outside of the bag (lower pressure). The force that was previously unnoticed is now very apparent the air on the inside of the bag will push outwards, inflating the bag. In truth, there is no more air in the bag than there was when the bag was deflated, its simply occupying more space, or volume. Return the bag to atmospheric pressure, and it will return to its original volume
The reverse is also true! Submerge the same bag in a deep pool, and the increased pressure from the water will squeeze the bag into a smaller volume. (Youve probably noticed that the water will try to squeeze your head to a smaller volume, too!) The relationship between pressure and volume can be quantified into an equation, known as the ideal gas law.

Cindy Ortega, '91 BS Hotel Administration, grew up riding on her parents' Utah cattle ranch, not too far from the eastern edge of Great Basin National Park. Grade school was in a two-room schoolhouse. High school required catching a bus to the next town over. She lived with a widow during the week and went home on the weekends. Their wealth was in their land and rarely in their wallets, she remembers. "Just like all ranchers and farmers, you're sitting on a gold mine but you're very poor."
It's an unlikely background for someone who just helped open CityCenter, a multibillion dollar resort dedicated to the massaging and feeding of tourists and gamblers. And at first blush, it seems more unlikely still that Ortega's specific job is making such a place environmentally friendly.
She doesn't see it that way. She says growing up the way she did on a ranch in the desert made her very aware that the land's resources are finite and good stewardship is required.
Stepping Lightly
Thanks to Ortega, the project received the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification, making CityCenter the highest rated green development in Las Vegas and one of the largest sustainable developments in the world. Ortega, to use a term popular in environmental speak, gave CityCenter a small footprint.
But when you're talking about an $8.5 billion, 67-acre casino, resort, condo, and shopping mall development, shrinking its environmental footprint is like breeding a nondestructive Godzilla. The creature still has to be awe-inspiring - massive size and domination of a skyline. And its hunger for a lot of energy must be fed. So the task then is to mitigate the damage the mighty beast causes.
The very scale of CityCenter means that even small percentages turn into big savings.
It means that using water-saving technology like low-flow shower heads inside and carefully watered desert plants outside saves 50 million gallons of water a year. Using energy-efficient lighting and high-performance glass, as well as letting more sunlight into the building, saves as much electricity as 8,800 households use in a year. Recycling and reusing practices kept 260,000 tons of construction waste out of our landfills.
There are two other ways of looking at CityCenter that make its size an actual environmental advantage. Most green buildings are like throwing a pebble into a pond and looking for ripples of change. Ortega says CityCenter is like hurling a boulder into a lake. You see waves.
Directly, its sheer size allowed MGM Mirage to demand different, more environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques. For instance, there's fiberboard, which you may know as the not-quite-wood cabinets in your own kitchens and bathrooms. Almost all fiberboard is made using urea-formaldehyde glues, which are toxic and can evaporate into the air. CityCenter's size meant that it was able to pressure manufacturers to shut down their plants, drain their glue lines, and refill them with environmentally friendly glue.
Indirectly, CityCenter is a giant demonstration project that may change the way other companies build their large projects. Usually, Ortega says, environmentally sensitive buildings are university or government buildings, and they have a sort of post-industrial, pedestrian aesthetic. Ortega says the biggest misconception people have is that all green buildings have to be that way. CityCenter shows green can be luxurious.
"The environmental movement is not about people sitting at home, huddling together, and trying to use as few resources as possible," Ortega says. "It's about preserving our resources and enhancing our quality of life. And our quality of life is greatly enhanced by our ability to travel. And (MGM Mirage is) in the travel industry."
Making the Complex Simple
Ortega found herself in the industry when she graduated from Harrah Hotel College in 1991. She started as a financial analyst, one of two students accepted into the Mirage's management training program. She did a stint in the '90s running a failed project for hotel management software with Microsoft, which would have run every aspect of the hotel including automatically setting daily room rates. It collapsed, she says, because it was too complex.
She learned a lot from that, gaining the insights that "You have to do things really simple when they're on a huge scale," and also that, "You shouldn't try to do everything all at once. Everything has a phase two and a phase three."
Those lessons were first in her mind when, after running the finances of the Mirage, she was promoted to senior vice president in 2006 (one of only 25 in a company that employs 40,000 people in Las Vegas alone) and given the task of launching a corporate division to green MGM Mirage and its latest, hugely ambitious project.
Ortega says that UNLV prepared her well for her job and the workplace, perhaps better than any other school could have. At the Hotel College, she learned from the leading experts in the field. She says UNLV graduates complement their academic and communication skills with a stronger work ethic than students from other schools.
"And remember that I interview and hire college graduates every year," Ortega says.
That's why two of her own children, ages 20 and 23, are attending UNLV.

Good Practice for Introducing Radiopharmaceuticals for Clinical Use
The use of new radiopharmaceuticals can provide extremely valuable information in the evaluation of cancer, as well as heart and brain diseases — information that often times cannot be obtained by other means. However, there is a perceived need in many Member States for a useful reference to facilitate and expedite the introduction of radiopharmaceuticals already in clinical use in other countries. This publication intends to provide practical support for the introduction of new radiotracers, including recommendations on the necessary steps needed to facilitate and expedite the introduction of radiopharmaceuticals in clinical use, while ensuring that a safe and high quality product is administered to the patient at all times.

New Fairfield woman dies in motorcycle crash
EAST HADDAM - Adriana Snarski, 63, of New Fairfield, had just retired and was enjoying life with a rekindled love, when she and the North Haven man she was dating were killed in a motorcycle crash.
Snarski, of Bigelow Road, was the passenger on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle driven by Edward Rogers, 66, of Pool Road, North Haven. Both were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, said Connecticut State Police Troop K officers.
Around 5 p.m. Sunday, Snarski and Rogers were going south on Route 149 when Rogers lost control of his motorcycle while negotiating a curve, police said.
The motorcycle fell on its left side, throwing Snarski and Rogers off the motorcycle. They then struck an East Granby man and woman, motorcycle driver Frank Grillo and his passenger, Michelle Grillo, heading northbound on Route 149, police said.
The trooper investigating the case could not be reached for further comment to find out if either Snarski or Rogers were wearing motorcycle helmets. There is no law in Connecticut requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets.
Michelle Grillo was treated for minor wrist injuries.
"I can't tell you how shocked and devastated I am," said Snarski's neighbor, JoAnn Yachulke. "She was an absolutely delightful person. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She had a mind that was exceptionally sharp."
Yachulke also described Snarski as loving, warm and very caring.
Snarski grew up in the New Haven area and has four sons, said Yachulke. One son lives in Virginia and another lives in Florida.
"I can't tell you how awful this is," said Yachulke. "She was too young to have this happen. She had such a heart. She was so giving. She was the coolest lady."
A divorced woman, Snarski lived alone, but kept very busy. She was a member of St. Edwards the Confessor Church in New Fairfield. Prior to retiring within the last year, she had worked at M. Lathrop Septic Service in New Fairfield and worked part-time for Curves in New Fairfield.
Snarski and Rogers were engaged a long time ago before Rogers married his wife and Snarski wed her now-ex-husband.
When Rogers' wife died, the two got back together.
"It was nice to see them rediscover this love," said Yachulke. "It was such a romantic relationship."
Only recently had Yachulke met Rogers.
"He was very nice," she said. Contact Heather Barr

The best new iPad Air (and Retina iPad mini) cases from around the web
Since Apple announced the all-new iPad Air alongside the second generation iPad mini, all of the big case makers are now announcing the cases they've been working on for the devices in the months leading up to the announcements. With the new iPad Air arriving in just over a week on Nov. 1, we thought it would be good to roundup some of the best cases that have already been announced for the device in addition to Apple's new leather Smart Case ($79.99) and polyurethane Smart Cover ($39.99) for the iPad Air pictured above:
The new Retina iPad mini is sightly thicker than the previous generation at a depth of 7.5mm vs 7.2mm, but fortunately many are reporting that most cases for the first gen iPad mini will work with the new model. That's why we've mostly stuck to iPad Air cases, but there are also a few new cases for the Retina iPad mini announced by Belkin and others:
Belkin (left to right): Qode Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air ($129.99), Qode Thin Type Keyboard Case for iPad Air ($99.99), Qode Slim Style Keyboard Case for iPad Air ($79.99), Apex 360 Advanced Protection Case for iPad mini ($69.99), FreeStyle Cover for iPad Air ($59.99) — All of the new Belkin cases will ship in November/December in time for the new iPads.
iLuv: The Professional Workstation ($99.99), Bolster ($49.99), CEO Folio ($64.99), Step Folio ($59.99), Simple Folio ($39.99). iLuv also has a full line of Retina iPad mini cases.
Otterbox has confirmed that it will soon begin offering its popular Defender series for both the iPad Air and Retina iPad mini. The mini version is available to preorder now and arrives on Oct. 31, but now word on when the iPad 5 version will ship.
Incipio: New iPad Air cases from Incipio starting at $34.99 will ship from the company's website in the coming weeks.
Speck: Speck's StyleFolio ($39.95) goes on sale in a variety of colors on Nov.1.
Amazon: i-Blazon Leather Smart Cover w/ stylus ($12.99), Ionic leather Rotating Stand ($9.99), Ionic 2-tone designer leather cover ($13), Supcase Slim Fit Folio Leather Case ($9.99).

A soundtrack from another time and another place. Featuring catchy arrangements of unappreciated instruments. Xylophones, tubas, organs, kettle drums - even a Theremin (look it up) - dominate Peter Chapman's wildly eccentric score. Spooky, refreshing and drawing heavily from the Esquivelian Exotica movement of the 50s/60s, this score is guaranteed to bring a smile to your ears. Featuring 16 tracks remastered in ''Living Stereo'', all flowing together like one giant song. Capped by a mind-blowing, 80's synth-dominated anthem by the incomparable Shaun Hatton.
About Peter
Chapman spends most of his time in his studio surrounded by vintage synthesizers, guitars and samplers, which he combines with modern recording technology and production techniques to form his signature sound. Even when not working to a deadline, he can still often be found in his composing chair, putting together tracks for his electronic act, COINS.

Pressure of Perfection
GPA, Class Rank, and the Anxiety of Competition
February 13, 2019
The anxiety that comes with being a teenager is daunting enough for anyone, but the adding of factors like GPA, class rank, and standardized testing has redefined what it means to be a high school student. Ivy league schools are constantly on the lookout for the best of the best, and the fight to be at the top of the academic totem pole has sparked a race among students across the globe. But does there ever come a time when the fight for first place is taken too far? Is giving up a normal adolescent life the price one has to pay to be number one?
Students like Annabelle Gaul (12), Victoria Isaacks (11), and Gabe Bell (10) are no strangers to the stress of high school and the effects it can have on one's personal life. Juggling college classes and extracurricular activities all while keeping up individual relationships is a skill each of them are still learning to master.
"All my time is consisted of school work or belles," Gaul said. "I'm constantly under stress, like all the time, 24 hours a day."
Isaacks finds it difficult to squeeze in time for friends and family because of her busy school schedule.
"I cherish the moments that I don't have something to do or the moments that I'm free to just hang out with friends," Victoria Isaacks (11) said. "I take the time I can, because I'm constantly working on school."
Many high schools, including Heritage, make AP classes worth additional points toward grade point averages.
"My schedule is loaded just because you have to take AP classes in order to get a good GPA," Gabe Bell (10) said. "Knowing that my grades really count and I need to be on top of them to be at the top of my class puts me under a lot of stress."
Isaacks is in band, band council, student council, literary criticism, hosa, and 6 AP classes. Most days, she finds it hard to focus on anything else.
"It's like a job," Isaacks said. "I work from around seven in the morning to the time I go to bed, which is midnight. I take a break between six and eight for dinner, but that's about it."
The gravity of getting into college weighs heavily on high schoolers and can at times create an unspoken sense of rivalry among them.
"Anything in class is a competition, like who has the best test grade, who has the best overall grade; all of that matters," Gaul said. "It's so silly."
For some students, the competition to be at the top of their class always keeps them on their toes.
"I mean, it's not bad or like we hate each other," Isaacks said. "It's just more of like, 'Oh what'd you get on this?' And next week you know you better try harder, because if you want to be as good as them, you can't slack off."
Having a slot in the top ten percent is something colleges are drawn to, and according to some students, it feels like a race to get there.
"My father has instilled in me that class ranks and top ten percent is what gets you into college, so I've always been on top of that," Isaacks said. "There have been times where I think that my ranking is bad. I remember one time they told me I was 11th, and then second semester they told me I was 13th, and I cried."
Many students report feeling a lack of confidence about themselves because of academic stress.
"I have a bunch of really smart friends, and they're like 'I got a 90 on this test!', and in my head I'm like, 'Ugh, I got a 75,'" Gaul said. "It just makes me self-conscious all the time about where I am and how I compare."
Isaacks and Gaul feel similarly about the negative effects grades can have on personal relationships.
"A lot of people get torn up about friendships," Isaacks said. "You have friends and you tell them what your ranking is and they just can't be around you anymore because they feel incompetent compared to you."
Unfortunately, class rankings can make it easy to scrutinize each other.
"When I'm not at the place I want to be, I feel bad about it," Bell said. "I need to remind myself it doesn't matter as much as I always thought it has."
Many students have their own ideas on how to best alleviate the sense of competition high school can bring upon teenagers.
"I wish there was less pressure on class rank and less competition," Gaul said. "They should try to stress that it it doesn't matter where you are in your class; it just matters that you're learning."

- Name: Guild Master
- Platform: Windows
- Roles: AI Programmer, Level Designer
- Tools: Unreal Engine 4 , C++
- Team Size: 4 people
- Time Frame: 6 weeks
Guild Master is a 3D roguelike dungeon crawler/turn based RPG. You control the wheelchair-bound master of a guild, as he put's together parties, and send them on adventures. Then you must play as those parties, and explore randomly generated dungeons. You can recruit characters with randomly generated attributes to help you explore the dungeons, and have them fight enemies in a classic turn-based battle system.
This game was made as the main project for my Game Engine Implementation class. The biggest challenge that we had while making this game was that we over scoped on our idea. We only had about 6 weeks to finish the project, and this wasn't quite enough time to implement everything that we wanted. This was also our first attempt to make a game in the Unreal Engine, which also slowed down the project. The game isn't quite as polished as I would have liked, but it was a good learning experience to learn a new tool, and I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out.


text: Wendy was amazing. I am an employee but this particular day I showed up to be a patient. I was here to deliver my long awaited little boy. We lost a son last year four days before our due date so my husband and I were for lack of a better term, anxious! Wendy was very warm and helped make our nerve racking situation as calming as possible. She was so encouraging, but above all she just made us feel like I was being heard. We ended up have a problem and had to be taken to emergency C-section. She could tell that I was terrified and distraught. As a nurse, we are cursed in knowing too much. Wendy continued to encourage me. Telling me that our little boy was going to be ok. After five hours of pushing, she helped deliver our beautiful son into the world. We are so thankful for her.

I began to refer to what was coming down the pike in the transportation marketplace as "The Perfect Storm" in early 2017. But I've realized that term may have become so common now that we've lost perspective on what's really happening. So, realistically, a better word for our current situation might be a full-fledged Frankenstorm.

Beautiful dog
Shaun and I wanted to take Hugo home with us he is such a sweet character, he looks like a big white Alsation with a great temperament and so obedient.
Hugo lives in Henley In Arden and is a new member of the K9 Buddies family!
Paul walks him around the fields as they have some lovely walks in Henley In Arden and Hugo loves to run around and get all wet and dirty in the fields, but it's ok there is a hosepipe back home in the garden which serves him well so he is all lovely and clean and dried off before he goes back into the house!

'Full House' Might Be Coming Back, For Real
Brace yourselves, for something that could take over your Facebook feeds is coming: Full House might be coming back. This is a very real blessing. This might actually happen. What on Earth should we make of this?
Thanks to the ratings success of Full House' Nick At Nite reruns and the precedent set by Boy Meets World sequel/spinoff Girl Meets World, TV Guide is reporting that Warner Bros. "is mulling a new take on Full House, with some of the original cast intact." Oh my god.
It's also important to note that John Stamos is "leading the charge" on this one thanks to his ownership stake and, as
A.V. Club's Sean O'Neal put it, "lots and lots of vests he just never got the chance to wear."
So what exactly would this Full House revival entail? There are so many people in the extended ragtag Tanner family that the options could be endless. What route will Warner Bros. take in its blatant attempts to take on some of Girl Meets World's nostalgia-mining? There are a lot of factors that go into this decision: What will have the biggest impact, emotionally and nostalgically? What would actually produce the most story in the long-run? And, perhaps most pressingly, which actors are in a place in their career right now where they'd actually say yes to revisiting a project that ended almost twenty years ago? We can definitely count the Olsen twins out. Here are a few options:
Catching up with Danny Tanner
One option could be a show once again centered around Bob Saget's Danny Tanner. He's probably remarried by now, so how's that going for him? Did he have more kids? Or are he and his wife just living alone now in that huge San Francisco house? How often does Danny Tanner stress-clean it from floor to ceiling? And would Bob Saget be down for once again being tethered to the most wholesome of wholesome sitcoms?
Something with Stephanie
Jodie Sweetin's 32 now, so there are a few good options for Stephanie "How Rude" Tanner's adult life. Is she a kick-ass career woman? Emotionally crippled due to middle-child syndrom? Settling down and starting a family, which sadly seems like one of the leading options for a Full House revival?
Uncle Jess & Rebecca: The Middle-Aged Years
If Stamos is looking to star in this revival, he may well choose to involve the rest of his former TV family. Nicki and Alex would be around 22-23 at this point, so maybe they're struggling with empty nest syndrome? Maybe they had other kids? How big of a rockstar is Jesse at this point? I'm just sayin', this one seems like one the networks would drool over. Plus it'd mean the reunion of Stamos and Lori Loughlin.
Kimmy Gibler and her weird life
If they're looking to go outlandish or surreal, go Gibler. Or surprise everyone by giving her an incredibly normal, healthy adult life. But that'd be boring. Maybe she married Joey Gladstone! That'd be a creepy twist!
Joey Gladstone doing...something
Joey didn't really end up with anyone at the end of Full House, but I've gotta believe Dave Coulier would love another whack at this show.
DJ Tanner & her family
I don't know why, but this and the Stamos/Loughlin one seem like the most likely options to me. Candace Cameron Bure has been making an obvious play to be noticed on television again, and DJ could be a similar neurotic family rock to the one Danny was throughout the first series.
And yet I still don't know what to make of any of this.

Do you like the Foo Fighters? Do you like documentaries? If you answered yes, then quite simply this film is for you. Back and Forth chronicles the beginnings of the band through to their latest album Wasting Light. We hear from basically everyone who had some kind of input with the band, and taking front and center is the frontman Dave Grohl. We find out how the band got started, and the problems they faced post-Nirvana where Dave had come from. During the early years, they struggled with different band members, keeping the band together, yet they have managed to complete 7 studio albums. Whether you are a big fan of theirs or not I think the film gives a great in-sight into the happenings of a rock band, what goes on behind the scenes and the drama's they face. Making an album isn't easy, keeping things together isn't easy and we get to experience all of this with the band. What more could you ask for with a documentary like this?
It is actually well put together, the interviews are interesting and candid, no one really held anything back. The behind the scenes footage we are shown is pretty awesome to see as well as live performances and music video snippets. I loved the flow of the film, it was never boring or not interesting, what they had to say definitely kept my attention. From the beginning we got to see how Dave started out with music, how he got into Nirvana and what happened after Cobain's passing. He had quite the journey which ended up leading to the formation of this group. But the beginnings weren't easy, as he had the stigma of Nirvana constantly there and that is what the media seemed to press with. Once the band was actually going, drama's continued with the loss and gain of different band members and how this affected the group and the music. I mean when you think about it, if everything had run smoothly, there wouldn't be much if a story to tell.
We get to see what the band members are like, how they got involved and what personal issues they struggled through. Most importantly everyone seemed like real people, they didn't come off as crazed stars with no sense of reality. These guys were down to Earth, and pretty thankful for their success and where life had led them. This was so amazing to see, and it pretty much just made me realize as a fan why I loved them so much. Not only do they make fantastic music but they are real people, who are passionate about what they do. They put in 110% effort in their music, and it was really great to see 'the magic happen'. I loved how the film wound down with how grateful and amazed they were with the sell outs at Wembley Stadium and how they wanted to make sure every single person who purchased a ticket got the most out of the experience. And then we went on to see how Wasting Light came about and why they decided to record it in Dave's garage. I think the high light of this all for me was two things, seeing he guys in their everyday lives with their families and also the appearance of Nirvana's bass guitarist Krist Novoselic who came in to record a song. As a life long Nirvana fan (they will always be my favourite band) it just felt so amazing to see those two guys not only in the same room together but making music together.
I highly recommend checking this one out, I loved it a lot and I am sure this one wont disappoint.

Industrial IoT and TSN
Complex industrial networks have traditionally used special busses or modified version of Ethernet to solve challenges specific to timely delivery and reliability of critical control data. This approach brings two challenges: special-purpose technology makes it more difficult to develop new IoT applications and is costlier to maintain.
To solve these challenges the IEEE created the time sensitive networking (TSN) suite of standards, a successor of IEEE audio video bridging (AVB) that enables minimum latency over Ethernet, seamless redundancy, and centralized configuration and control. With TSN, companies can use standard Ethernet to implement a more cost-effective network that enables a converged IT/OT network that shares the same wire for critical time sensitive traffic and regular traffic.

Solving TSN Test Challenges
Ixia products enable real-world validation of emerging technologies, substantiating the very edge of standards development. Equipment makers and companies use Ixia test equipment to ensure devices and even whole networks meet the conformance criteria of TSN standards and the performance criteria of applications.
Powered by Novus ONE PLUS fixed chassis, Xcellon-Multis AVB 40/10GE load modules, and Metronome timing system, Ixia's IxNetwork is a field-proven AVB/TSN test solution validating that components and networks adhere to standards specifications. It is used by industrial and network equipment manufacturers and industry forums such as the Industrial Internet Consortium TSN Testbed to validate that devices adhere to the TSN standards:
- IEEE 802.1Qbv TSN Scheduled Traffic – the foundation for low latency TSN
- IEEE 802.1AS time synchronization of devices and network through gPTP
- IEEE gPTP-rev functionality related to multiple time domains and redundancy

I had this difficulty and it took me a while to figure out how to install nodejs modules offline.
I always imagined that it would be simple …. In the back of my head I thought that the gap is as simple as this:
First download the github module into a folder;
Then run the code replacing the path to the folder the module was saved to (when you downloaded from github) and the modulo name;
npm install modulo_name –offline-installers="C:\your\folder"
Very simple!! 🙂

Your third drink will lead you astray
For example, I could be a brewer. A brewer? Fuck yeah! Excitedly I (fake) called up a (fake) major brewery:
Brewery Rep: Hello, thanks for calling [fake brewery's name]. How may I help you?
Me: Yes, I'm calling to inquire about the assistant to the brewer position.
Brewery Rep: What are your qualifications?
Me: I'm working towards my Ph.D. in philosophy.
Brewery Rep: I'm sorry, sir. You said philosophy and not chemistry, right?
Me: Yes, I'm writing a dissertation on [some radical and cutting edge topic].
Me: And uhhh, according to the APA's website, someone, at sometime, with a Ph.D. in philosophy became a brewer.
Me: Ummmm. (Silence) Oh! I also drink a lot of beer when I'm not [and when I am] writing [said amazing dissertation].
Brewery Rep: Are you serious?
Me: Sure I am. In fact, I think because my beer of choice won a blue ribbon in some beer competition I am uniquely qualified to come up with a formula for very tasty beer. You see, it begins with only the finest hops and grains...
Brewery Rep: Goodbye, sir.
Me: Did I mention I drink a lot of beer?
(Dial tone)
Fuck. I should've known I had a better chance at being an assistant manager of a hotel. Yeah, I like the sound of that: Dr. Assistant Budget Inn Manager.

This list is far too expansive to be of any help. One of the options is "engineer." I'm pretty confident in saying that no philosopher is qualified to be an engineer (without going through 4 years of engineering school, of course). Though I do remember seeing a job ad for someone who does philosophy of engineering, so who knows.
Other silly options: postal carrier, armed forces officer, nurse, and manager of a winery.
If I can offer some of my own advice (which I received from a non-academic career advisor): consulting, program evaluation and performance measurement*, editing, technical writing and adult education were the main options for someone with a philosopher's skill set. Of course we could re-train into law, or anything else for that matter, but these are the ones he suggested.
*I'm particularly interested in program evaluation and performance measurement, but then again I worked in scientific methodology and formal epistemology.
Ah screw it, let's find a winery to run!

manager of a whinery.
Now this, I could do!
(And speaking as someone out in California wine country, you don't ever want to be a winery manager ---- rich early-retiree Hollywood producer types buy a fucking expensive estate and turn it into their own personal label winery all the time around here; they put the actual manager through complete hell and insist everything go exactly their way without them ever learning the chemistry or mechanics of how winemaking is run.
I have some friends who swear the chief vintner position actually only functions as a whipping boy to stroke the owners' egos.
Then again, with your PhD training...)
