Mom confronts man whose drunk driving crushed child
- Toddler%2C who was severely injured in Feb. 20%2C 2009%2C crash%2C has gotten sicker this year
- Driver of pickup who slammed into car has pleaded guilty to driving drunk
- Courts have not decided whether he can be tried more serious charges based on previous DWIs
FORT WORTH — Loubna Elharazin Khader was trembling, her face pointed at a blank concrete wall.
She clutched a framed photograph of her 6-year-old son Abdallah in her shaking hands Thursday. Then 2 years old, the boy was smiling.
Khader's back faced a two-way mirror. Soon, the door to the room opposite her opened. Stewart Richardson — who rear-ended her family's 2003 Honda Accord five years ago on this day — slunk forward, led in by a jail guard.
Also in Khader's hand was a photo of Abdallah as he is now, locked in a vegetative state, in need of oxygen to fill his failing lungs.
Texas prosecutors say the man seated on a metal stool on the other side of the glass smashed into Khader's family sedan in a horrific drunken driving collision in 2009. Khader of Arlington, Texas, was here at his behest; Richardson said Wednesday that he wanted to apologize.
On Thursday, Khader said she wanted to confront him.
She charged the glass, positioning the framed photo of her son in front of Richardson's eyes.
"Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Look at this face! Look at him!," she screamed. Richardson, 49, looked at the photos and then looked down.
"I look at him every day," said Richardson, who received a newspaper picture of Abdallah that he keeps with him. "I'm sorry."
Richardson pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated. His blood-alcohol content was three times the legal limit at the time of the crash. But he has not been tried on more serious charges, including DWI felony repetition, that could keep Richardson in prison for life.
An appeals court is considering whether to allow the state to enhance Richardson's punishment by using prior misdemeanor alcohol-related charges in four other states. And so, Richardson has been sitting in Tarrant County Jail for the past five years while Abdallah's parents wait for a chance to show him their son's suffering face to face.
"I'm supposed to be go home now and my son is going to be OK because you said you're sorry?" Khader yelled. "It's been five years today. Five years! My son is dying every single day."
Abdallah has been rushed to the intensive care unit four times in the past year. Originally, doctors thought he might live five years at the most.
Richardson repeatedly apologized and said he prays for the family. He did not stand up and leave. He let a wounded mother pour out her rage until she could no longer continue.
"Just go now," she finally said. "Just go."
"God bless," Richardson whispered.
For Abdallah's mother, the crash isn't history. It's the present and the future.
All of the family was injured in that car wreck. But Abdallah was crushed in his car seat, strapped facing forward in the back seat. At the time, doctors said 80% of his brain was destroyed because of bruising, strokes and skull fractures.
In 2011, the Texas legislature passed Abdallah's Law, mandating tougher penalties for drunk drivers who cause brain damage and other serious injury.
Abdallah has spent more of his life brain damaged than healthy.
"I am never going to forgive you for what you did to my son!," Khader said, slamming the glass. "Never!"
Stewart Richardson then returned to his cell. Abdallah's mom slumped into a chair and wept.

There's always a lot of buzz predicting the collapse of the influencer industry, but 2016 proved to be a huge year, and we're confident 2017 will be even stronger.
For years, we only knew brands to work primarily with mega-influencers, and it made sense given their celebrity status, influence, and reach. However, these same brands meandered from the familiar in 2016 and turned their eyes to micro-influencers. What makes micro-influencers so attractive is their loyal niche following and ability to produce the same high-quality content as mega-influencers. If you're a micro-influencer, here's what you need to know:
Micro-influencers are recognized as experts in their niche.
As the name suggests, micro-influencers have an impactful, but smaller following (as little as 1,000). Brands and PR firms now recognize how passionate micro-influencers are about their respective niche, and see the value they add to those who seek them. This smaller following equates to loyal fans who trust them and often results in higher conversion.
We know that the larger the following, the less personal relationships can become. This gives micro-influencers an edge because they have proven their ability to forge one-on-one relationships, engaging personally with their followers and getting them involved. If you're a micro-influencer, this makes you an ideal target for working with brands.
Actively connect with brands on social media.
Brands are paying far more attention to micro-influencers than you think they are. This means you need to make yourself visible by tagging them on Instagram or using their hashtags, writing SEO-friendly blog posts, and engaging with them over Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and all of social media. By doing so, micro-influencers allow themselves the opportunity to be "featured" on other brand's channels. Brand reps are also known to reach out for partnerships directly once they recognize and value a micro-influencer's content.
Build a media kit no matter how small your numbers are.
Media kits aren't only for mega-influencers, and they don't have to be entirely numbers focused (although larger numbers provide more leverage). Think about what sets you apart from other influencers – is it your bright, crisp visuals? Your snappy, witty copy? Your ability to generate clicks and convert? There are a lot more value-added capabilities you can emphasize outside of numbers. Dissect what that looks like for you and compile it into a media kit so that you can share it with brands who inquire. Also, don't be afraid to pitch to brands – your media kit will make you appear more professional.
Maximize video content even if you think no one will watch.
Now is the time for video – that means it's time to sign up for YouTube. It's no secret when we say mega-influencers lead the pack. If you haven't noticed, almost everyone has shifted towards video content – and there's good reason why. Mega-influencers have more resources and insider connections compared to micro-influencers. If they've latched onto something new, you should probably make the move too. Don't wait until you're comfortable speaking in front of a camera. We encourage you to make the jump and course-correct along the way. Start here with Sonya Esman or Chloe Morello's courses for some serious vlogger inspiration.
Blogging still matters regardless of what anyone else says.
While there's become a bigger shift towards social media campaigns, all mega-influencers will agree that the actual blog (website) must never be forgotten. Your blog is the only thing you own – the only one thing that truly belongs to you so must never neglect it.

Learning analytics promise rich sources of evidence to inform educational decision-making (e.g., HEC, 2016). New access to student data trails, combined with demographic information, help us to identify "at risk" students, "engage" them with customized learning experiences, fostering their "success".
This promise, however, comes with risks (Lawson et al, 2016; Wise & Shaffer, 2015). The pathway from statistical significance in learning analytics to significant learning (Fink, 2003) is not straightforward.
This workshop will explore how big data intersects with significant learning. We will interrogate constructs such as "engagement", "at risk", and "success", and unpack epistemological assumptions underlying learning analytics.

The UFC returns with their second-to-last card of the year with tomorrow night's (Sat., December 17, 2016) UFC on FOX 22 from Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
While it may not be receiving the attention of Ronda Rousey's long-awaited return in the main event of UFC 207 on December 30, UFC on FOX still presents a packed main card featuring the potential rise of two women's strawweight stars, two more young welterweight talents, the final bout of longtime top contender Urijah Faber, and an opening bout set to feature all-out fireworks between Alan Jouban and Mike Perry.
All in all, it's set to be an action-packed night that sets the stage for the massive curtain-closer on what has been a groundbreaking year for the sport of MMA.
Find out whom we picked to win the main and co-main below.
Paige VanZant vs. Michelle Waterson:
Mike Drahota:
This is a bout that's perfect for a FOX card, as either VanZant or Waterson will be made into one of MMA's major future stars in front of a large audience, and a back-and-forth fight will boost both women's popularity exponentially. I think '12 Gauge' is one of the toughest outs in the 115-pound division, although that can lead her to take too much damage, like in her bout with Rose Namajunas. She showed some flashy knockout ability in her most recent win over Bec Rawlings, yet the victory masked some deficiencies in her game.
It's true Waterson has the experience edge on VanZant overall, however, "The Karate Hottie" still has much to prove after only UFC win over Angela Magana in July 2015. Injuries seem to be the only thing holding the former Invicta champion from rapidly climbing the rankings, and she clearly has all the tools to do just that. While she needs to shake the rust of only two fights in over two years, I think Waterson has the fight smarts and well-rounded technique to outlast the brute assault of '12 Gauge.' Waterson by unanimous decision.
Rory Kernaghan:
In this strawweight main event, I have to say I really like Paige VanZant's chances. She's really starting to grow as a fighter, and what we saw in her last fight was nothing short of incredible. She's proved to be durable in the past too. Michelle Waterson undoubtedly has her chops in the striking, and has showed rapid improvement in the submission game too. It's more of a gut pick for me, and I'm taking PVZ by decision.
Mike Henken:
A key factor that went into my prediction for this fight was Waterson's injuries and lengthy layoff, as she hasn't competed since July 2015, while VanZant has competed three times during that time. I feel as if "The Karate Hottie" is undoubtedly the more polished striker and she comes from one of the best camps in the world in Jackson's MMA. I simply feel as if "12 Gauge" will look to push the pace and attempt to out grapple Waterson, which is why I see her securing a victory in her adopted home of Sacramento. VanZant by unanimous decision.
Sage Northcutt vs. Mickey Gall:
Mike Drahota:
It seems like there's a trend for this card, as the co-main event also features a match between two highly marketable potential future stars. Northcutt has been groomed to be just that ever since he cam into the UFC on the heels of his discovery n Dana White's "Looking For A Fight," and Gall was famously CM Punk's first opponent in the UFC, decimating the former WWE champ with a brutal first-round submission at September's UFC 203.
Each fighter will become a sudden big name in the incredibly talented welterweight division, but they won't necessarily quite be contenders just yet. Regardless, I see Northcutt possessing a distinct edge in the striking here, because even though Gall often talks about his striking, he's a grappler at heart. That are is Northcutt's one weakness we've seen, with his only UFC loss coming to an arm-triangle choke from Bryan Barberena that seemed barely locked in, also at welterweight. I believe Northcutt could end this with a vicious flurry, but ultimately Gall will be too smart to get tagged and take the fight to the ground for a submission attempt. Gall by second round submission.
Rory Kernaghan:
Sage Northcutt's only loss in the UFC so far came in the welterweight division, so it's surprising to see him move up from lightweight again here. Mickey Gall, well we've really only seen him against CM Punk, which doesn't say much in terms of how he'll fare against someone who can fight. 3-0 as a professional, I can't help but think Northcutt is a little too much to chew at this stage in Gall's career. Both men are very likeable, but I expect a war in this bout. Northcutt with a grizzly third round TKO.
Mike Henken:
In my opinion, this fight could go either way. Both fighters are rising talents and both have a chance to win this fight. Gall likely has the grappling advantage and I wouldn't be surprised to see him tap Northcutt out. Gall will also be the bigger man, although "Super Sage" will undoubtedly have the striking advantage. I expect to see Northcutt stick and move and if he can keep the fight standing, I see him taking this one. Northcutt via unanimous decision.

Last week in class we went over portrait lighting (or studio lighting). It's what you see at professional photo shoots, where the lights are all set up with the reflective umbrella and everything is staged appropriate for the subject…it reminds me to much of school photos and who likes those! (except for my mom who will be getting the 2012-2013 school photo in the mail!) Every photographer has their own (unique) style and I have found out I AM NOT a studio light photographer, I just love natural light and the outdoors too much!
But it was great learning about the different lighting techniques and how positioning the light a certain way can either flatter & enhance your subjects features or not! But it's defiantly not for me. I did have a lot of fun playing setting it up, thanks to my husband for being a willing participate, though he had no choice, I was able to shoot a few of them successfully. (I used a desk lamp, it's easier to move and twist, but you can use any old lamp at home or hell go out and hell you can always buy some real studio lighting if you decide this is something you love!)
Broad Lighting or Butterfly lighting: (best for women) but the light is coming down on your subject to where you can see a shadow just below the nose, some say it looks like a butterfly shadow…hints the name!
Rembrandt Lighting: This lighting tends to be used a lot, the light is at a 45 degree angle to your subject and it casts a triangle under the eye that is furthest away from the light. I don't understand this lighting, it's neat when you finally get the light to do what you want though. I used a fill (reflector) to bounce the light back up to "fill" the shadows and I liked that the best.
Split Lighting: The class favorite, everyone last night loved the split lighting, I think it's because it's the easiest-you can't really screw this up! You place the light source next to your subject and shadow hides half of their face. ("Spliting" the face in half)
Short Lighting: The light source hits the side of the face that is the furthest away from the camera–I don't think I accomplished this one exactly but I tried…I was trying to go for Back-lighting/Rim Lighting, (which I have talked about before), but I got this instead…
*Our teacher Jodi mentioned a way of making the light more flattering to your own style, is to combined it with natural light or window light! This is something I'm going to try (instead of a lamp, use your flash!) Stay tune for those photos!

OIC reaffirms internationally recognized status of Jammu and Kashmir dispute
Jeddah (UNA-OIC) - The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), has been following with concern developments in Jammu and Kashmir as a result of the unilateral decision taken by India on the 5tth of August 2019 revoking Constitutional Article 370, thereby removing the special status of the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.
In this regard, The general secretariat reaffirms the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on the internationally recognized status of Jammu and Kashmir dispute and its final disposition through a UN-supervised plebiscite.
Recalling the OIC summit decisions and council of foreign ministers resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir, the general secretariat reiterates the solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It calls for the immediate lifting of the curfew, restoration of communication, and the respect for the fundamental rights of Kashmiris.
Recognizing the centrality of the issue of Jammu and Kashmir dispute between Pakistan and India and the need for seeking a durable and just solution according to the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, the secretariat stresses the need for the resumption of dialogue process between Pakistan and India, which is a prerequisite for development, peace and stability in South Asia.

If you've been anywhere near sports twitter in the past 24 hours or so, you've probably seen people talking about Laura Wagner's piece over at Deadspin, 'How SB Nation Profits Off An Army Of Exploited Workers'.
It's a long, in-depth read, and I recommend that you take the time to pore through it. I don't want to take too many clippings out of it, but if the gist of what was covered was as follows:
- Vox Media, SB Nation's parent company, has built a billion dollar company on the backs of their blogging network.
- SB Nation, which consists of the bulk of their digital properties, is paying their site managers about $600 US a month, often with the inference that their salary is also a budget for them to work with to pay their other staff and cover expenses.
- Editor roles are promoted as hobby jobs but have job descriptions that are more extensive than mainstream sports outlets will demand of their staff
- While SBN promotes having a platform without significant editorial restriction, the other edge of that sword is that there is extremely limited assistance and mentorship available to Site Managers and that those managers are responsible overseeing and mentoring their contributors.
- Contributors salaries can be dramatically lower than editors; some don't get paid at all, and even getting most of your staff to $20-100 per month is seen as a victory.
The article gives a rough estimate of $2.3 million in salaries paid to writers on team sites per year. Even if it's closer to double that, it's still an extremely far cry from the estimated value of the company, which is where you start to wonder about how lopsided of an arrangement this all is.
Now, I've been blogging for about a dozen years at this point, about ten of which have been near-solely dedicated to hockey. For about half of that time, I've had affiliations with blogging networks; most notably while climbing up the ladder of the Nation Network, a much smaller but still sizable, more Canadian hockey-focused network, but also with a few SB Nation contributions mixed in.
None of what's being talked about above is new, or even specifically pertaining to SB Nation. It's happening at just about every sports "blogging network", to some degree. Being a site editor or contributor is something that comes with internet social status, and is vital to the growth of the companies you work for, but doesn't exactly pay you well.
Personally speaking, as someone who has been on every step of the ladder within the content wing of one of these networks it took seven months to get my first paycheque, nearly three years to get to above $300 a month, before a bit of circumstance let me ramp things up in a few month span and get to pay that looked vaguely similar to a part-time job.
Now, it should be noted that the fact I got there is an outlier in this wing of the industry, involved a few shotgun wedding scenarios (me threatening to go back to self-operated in early years, a job offer in early 2016, and volunteering to take on a bunch of side-roles to boost my total). As I mentioned in my intro post to this site, I was at times writing 70-80 articles per month, operating social media accounts, acting as a first layer of help for other editors before getting into upper management, maintaining some elements of our older layout's backend, and cutting and uploading video for some of our platforms to get to that wage.
That's considered a success story, attached to someone with years of experience. That's a story I could only get to because I live with my family and saved up a large nest egg from working retail, giving me some time to go without a day job in order to take a knowingly bad deal and hope to make it into a palatable one. I more or less got there but burned out by the time I did and would, never, ever recommend taking the risk.
Now imagine the people who invest real-world job hours into chasing their dreams on one of these networks, provide them tens to hundreds of thousands of monthly page views as star writers for big-money companies, then get lucky if they can pay for their car insurance or bus pass with the cheque.
Can it get you called up to the big leagues of mainstream media? Maybe. You have to be really good, really lucky, probably have a degree that you spent tens of thousands of dollars on, probably have some internships attached to you, and hope that the next person to leave a sports media job in your city isn't having their position folded into buying off the news wire or filled by rotating interns.
Can it get you a social media following that you can parlay into your own thing? Maybe. But that means less in 2017 than it did in 2007; the wild west is gone, the influencers up to have been established, and you need to be an extreme talent to catch up now.
Can you just start your own blog? Technically so. But the point here is similar; you're competing with the same hobbyists from ten years ago, likely meaning the quality race is similar, but if they're on a network making $50 a month, they've got a company using the surplus budget on buying social media promotion, getting them highly ranked on google searches and news, and have the leverage of established platforms to sweep you under the rug.
Anybody trying to crack into the Leafs blogosphere will be pleased to know that two of the top 5 most-read sites are run by companies with $1 billion+ valuations, which is impressive considering that most fans of this team can't name five active Leafs blogs that they read regularly.
The expectations don't line up and they haven't for a long. Every site has a robust content plan that resembles major media outlets. You can't miss a single headline. It's hard to sell that this is an industry of fans writing about what they care about when every call-up or Instagram photo needs an article in 30 minutes or less. It's hard to say this is development of talent when the guidance basically amounts to "figure out what works because your traffic numbers need to go up, and fast".
If the sites have more required coverage than they have passion coverage, then they aren't hobbyist platforms. If the sites are rarely actually developing young writers into professional, full-time talent, then they aren't launching pads. At that point, they're content mills taking advantage of a race to the bottom.
Said race is encouraged when the model is defended, it wasn't hard to find people defending it yesterday. You'll note that the ones who did so tended to be those well into their adult years, who have real-world careers, don't write much of their platforms' content, and really do just value having a place to be and shoot the shit with their friends and readers.
That's cool, but while the situation works for you, it drives down the cost and opportunity for those who want to make their leap. It's similar to a retired billionaire coming to your primary work and volunteering to take your job in exchange for free food at the cafeteria because it seems fun and they can make some friends. Why not, right? They're willing to do it and it doesn't matter much to them.
Having not worked at the business ops side of this scope, I couldn't tell you the exact revenues that these sites bring. But I do know that something's a little weird when there are writers who make less per month than the company is willing to pay for a single photo to make one of their articles look professional enough. That something's a little weird when you can't justify chucking somebody $5-10 for a post but can justify $25 to boost the article on Facebook. The idea that the least valuable members of a written platform are the writers themselves seems intuitively backwards; so why do we defend corporations taking advantage of that very philosophy?
It's not something that can be fixed easily at this point; we're very close to a point of no return, where even the bigger outlets are creating their own forks of intern-driven fast-content to replicate the low-cost, high-return model. But writers and site managers should know and acknowledge their worth. There aren't many traditional jobs left for grabs, so if this is what you want to do with your life, you need to push your hardest to make sure that these new jobs are actually jobs. If this isn't a career ambition for you, well, push anyway so your friends that are trying to make it don't get left behind. They need your help, because if you remain as "the happy floor", you're a key part of the problem.

But it is the improved bathroom talk that really floats my boat. The Scott's of U talkin' U2 to me!? have taught me about letting it mellow and it has been a great ride. That said.. no window! Bummer time. So be expecting in the mail a gift of a fake window decal to help brighten up the new digs! I am concerned that this may effect the Comedy Bing Bong weather report for it may fool Scott into thinking these are the actual present conditions. I apologize to Scott and the listeners that depend on CBB for your weekly weather report!

Texas Holdem Bluffing
Bluffing is not very rare in Texas Holdem Poker game. The aim of bluffing is to make other players think that you have the best hand. Bluffing can be very useful when you do it in the right situation. Some players say that it is good to bluff in the last rounds of betting. You have to be careful if you bluff when there are big pots. If you start bluffing, do it good and do not show frailty.
Bluffing can be part of your game, but it is good to be careful when you bluff in low limit Texas Holdem Poker. How often a poker player can bluff? Every good Texas Holdem player will tell you that there isn't good answer for this question. You can bluff as often as you want, but you better do it. A player, who bluffs has more chances to win than a player, who doesn't. Good players also say that it is not good to bluff into large pots.
Texas Holdem players who have more experience know when to bluff and how to do it. If you are a beginner and you want to win, using bluffing strategy, do not be afraid to do it, just do it correctly. Bluffing can help you to affect other players and to make them out of the hands. If you bluff very often, players will know that you do it and the results will not be the same.
The best time to bluff is when you win the previous hand in Texas Holdem Poker. Other players will think that you are just lucky man, who has the best cards and you can win. If other players think that you are holding something, they will fold. Do not show your cards to the other players, because if you do it, they will think that you have the best hand and it will help you.
When you show your cards and other players see that you were bluffing, you will also have advantages in the future. Good situations for bluffing are:
- When you bet pre-flop and you missed
- When you're in late position and each of the players checked
- When everyone has folded
- When there is a pair of cards on the board
When you bluff, other players think that you have good hand, but some of them can do the same like you. Sometimes players can bluff even if they have good Poker hand. So pay more attention, look their reactions and do not bluff very often. Do it when you think that your opponents will believe you and do it like professional poker player!
There are different advices you can read about bluffing, but there is no special rule that you have to follow. If you are new poker player, you can just try to do it in different situations and you will find the way of winning. The game will show you how to do it and with more practice, you have good opportunities to win. If you bluff in wrong situations twice or more, next time don't do it.

text: So what type of website would get the highest quality ranking? According to Google, the highest quality websites have a super high-demonstrated expertise, talent, authoritativeness, or trustworthiness on the topic. You should include a sitemap on your website that holds an index of all your web pages. This way search engines can find all of your pages and index them easily. You should try to limit sitemaps to 50 links, so make sure the most important ones are in there. Some search engines reject sites with more than this number. You can find freeware to do this for you, or alternatively some of our web hosting packages include software to do this for you. When a search engine spider crawls your website it cannot rate its design nor measure the level of your customer support or the services you offer. It can only read and grade the content on your website and the way you have managed your backlinks. Hence, there is a huge emphasis on the quality of the content on your site and the backlink structure you have adopted and exactly why link building is so important. The best way to secure high quality links is by creating strong content that sources will naturally want to connect their readership to.

Here goes October!
October 5th: We built a barn door. I doubt many people will say they built a barn door for date night, haha! But, we did. The first barn door we built was supposed to go on our room, but we must have measured wrong and/or our floor is slightly uneven, because there were some issues. We couldn't slide the door because it was hitting the floor in a few places. So, we were in a hurry to get another door built before baby #2 was born so we could have a bedroom door. Therefore, we built our 2nd barn door for date night.
This was the first door we built...for some reason I don't have a picture of the 2nd. But, they look identical. ;)
October 12th: We moved this date day to the 13th. Trevor was home this whole week because we had Rhett that Monday. I had been wanting to take Brooks to the zoo for awhile, but I hated being in the heat when I was pregnant. So I thought the perfect time to go to the zoo would be when Trevor was home for paternity leave and make it a family event. We had a great time!
October 19th: We got both boys to sleep in their cribs and we sat down to write a family mission statement. We have talked about wanting to do this for awhile, so I was glad Trevor got the ball rolling and made it a date night. It's still kind of a work in progress, so I will share once we have something more complete.
October 26th: We went to the Tulsa Botanic Gardens. This was kind of a last minute plan, but it worked out perfectly. They are open late on Thursdays and in October the have live music. The weather was absolutely beautiful so I packed us some PBJ's, picked Trevor up from work and the 4 of us made the trek. It was a great family outing.
I'm so glad we didn't skip a beat even with the arrival of baby #2! We have been pretty busy the last few months with wrapping up the house, and I'm glad that we have found a healthy balance with dedicating some date nights to house DIY stuff but also knowing when we need a break from that. I have also loved the family outings this month. I know date night is supposed to be for me and Trevor, but sometimes it's nice to have an excuse to get the whole family out and about. I'm looking forward to November!

For the occasion of the first anniversary of cepezedinterior, cepezed has published a special set of cards with an overview of work from the past five years. During this period, the designers created an impressive palette of projects; from offices, residences, exhibition set-ups and educational institutions to various types of other public buildings. The cepezed interior team works both independently and closely with cepezed architects, with which it shares the same passion for planning, insight and refined detailing.
The concept of the chart set is inspired by the colour fan; a design instrument that is frequently used in the interior design field. The individual cards have a handy size of 155 x 75 mm; one side displaying a project photo, the other providing concise project information. The cards are kept in a specially designed felt-like cassette made from recycled PET bottles; a reference to the frequent use of biobased and circular materials in the projects of cepezedinterior.
At the festive celebration of the interior lustrum on December 13th, the designers received the first set of cards from cepezed partner Jan Pesman.

|We fought foreign troops, brought in by our government to control us, on our soil
In recent discourse on FaceBook, we've discussed Trump's comment alluding to a Second Amendment [i.e., energized by the NRA] response to The Establishment should there be interference with the Presidential Election in November.
We were challenged on that statement by a young PhD discussant who declared such an action to be treasonous, an allusion to a physical threat of assassination, and a misreading of the Second Amendment as the right of the People to take up weapons against their government.
|We're DHS, and we're here to protect you
We disagree on all counts given the egregious actions of our sitting President, who has usurped the powers of Congress through a variety of means, in addition to his unchallenged Executive Orders, the expansion of the Department of Homeland Security to 240,000 employees and which has become his private army equipped with weapons of war, the implementation of Exercise Jade Helm -- a violation of Posse Comitatus which was, without question, a dry run for the imposition of Martial Law in those states where citizens are heavily armed, the introduction of foreign military forces to patrol our states, the threat of using Homeland Security forces to "supervise" our Presidential elections, and in short, a broad array of abuses of his power.
|Our Continental Congress
We provide for your perusal a copy of our Forefathers' Declaration of Independence from England, whose colonial representatives abused their authority and imposed the equivalent of martial law, bringing in foreign troops to impose the King's authority on the colonial citizens.
We've highlighted in red those issues which remind us of current conditions which lead us to question the actions of both the Executive and Legislative branches of our government - and grieve at the assassination of Justice Scalia, whose Constitutional interpretations were respected by legal experts both Liberal and Conservative - and whose would have been the prime influence over the Supreme Court in the event of a questionable election.
Consider this a reminder of the history lessons on how our country was formed, and specifically the reasons we sought our independence from England rather than following in Canada's footsteps.
Notably, Common Core has removed all references to both our Revolution and our Civil War so our kids are no longer exposed to this history in our school system.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
— Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
[Substitute Obama for "King"]
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
[Substitute Obama for "King"]
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
[Note: Obama's Executive Orders bypass Congress]
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
[Note: Obama has removed senior military leadership and replaced them with political puppets]
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
[Note: Obama's DOJ has used the DOJ to persecute political enemies, but has ignored criminal activities of Democrats such as Hillary Clinton]
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
[Note: Obama's expansion of the government bureaucracy, particularly Homeland Security, now at 240,000 employees, with heavy tactical Military armaments to become a de fact national police force]
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury: [Patriot Act]
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses: [Patriot Act]
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
|Illegals -- Mostly Military Age Men
[Note: Obama has invited the UN to bring in troops to maintain order in the US]
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
Will the Establishment attempt to impose the New World Order on us by destroying our legitimate election process?

I believe that God is very passionate about words. Our Savior, Jesus is called The Word of God (John 1:1,14 and Rev.19:10) and He has preserved His written words in the Scriptures as a kind of road-map to Him.
I do a lot of word studies and most of them will never leave my email drafts but, some of them have very profound implications on how we understand the Scriptures.
For example: The word "as". This little word has many different uses in our Bibles that may not be recognized much.
Jesus gave us some examples of how to pray in the "Lord's Prayer"-
"Father…let your Kingdom come, let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Without knowing Greek, I have to use study tools that scholars have provided and Strong's explains that this use means "in the same manner as". So we could pray "Father, let your Kingdom come, let your will be done on earth in the same manner as it is in Heaven."
What I believe is a more controversial issue is when Jesus said: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."This time the word is used in comparison to mean "just as".
So, Jesus instructed us to ask the Father to forgive us just as we forgive others. That's not saying "Father, I deserve forgiveness because look how much I have forgiven". That's completely opposite everything that Jesus did and taught!
I think of being forgiven to the extent that we forgive. I am forgiven compared to how I forgive! Clearly this is talking to believers because God is being addressed as "Father" and this entire prayer is Jesus' response to His disciples question. I believe that this entire prayer model is only given to born-again believers and not to unbelievers.
So, Jesus is not talking about being forgiven of our sins and being born-again; our redemption. He is talking about daily life sin that we should be continually confessing and receiving forgiveness, cleansing from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
If that was the extent of my evidence, I would have never gone this far but, there is more proof. In the parable of the "unjust servant" when the man who is forgiven much refuses to forgive a little, Jesus said:
"Then his lord, after that he had called him, said to him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me: Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you? And his lord was furious, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due to him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses." (Matt.18:32-35)
I have actually heard a teacher that I respect very much teach that a born-again believer can lose their salvation based on this parable. That is not at all consistent with the Scriptures.
This parable is teaching that we need to forgive our Christian family completely because God will only forgive (now, on earth) as we forgive (now, on earth). He will actually allow the enemy to torment His own children if they do not forgive their brothers and sisters in Christ.
Because we have been forgiven so much! ( I know that I have) In God's justice, he expects us to be like Him and also forgive. We will be forgiven just as we are forgiven like Jesus said more than once.

Service Sector India's services sector has not only outperformed other sectors of the Indian economy, but has also played an important role in India's integration with world trade and capital markets A concern about the sustainability of a services-led growth process which largely stems from exports of skill-based services. The prevailing view is that for services growth to be sustained, the sector cannot remain dependent on external demand Global Scenario: The services sector has emerged as the most dynamic sector of the world economy, contributing almost one-third of world gross value added, half of world employment, one-fifth of global trade and more than half of the world FDI flows SERVICES PERFORMANCE: Service sector was having a robust performance in India for the last decade and by 2014-15 its contribution in the GDP had reached the record level of 72.4 per cent
Service Sector Consultancy services are emerging as one of the fastest growing service segments in India Internal Trade: It refers to the movement of goods and services across different geographical regions in the country. It includes self-employed and persons engaged in both wholesale and retail trade GLOBAL NEGOTIATIONS: India aims to position itself as a key player in world services trade. To promote services exports, the government has taken a number of policy initiatives SEIS (Service Exports from India Scheme) for increasing exports of notified services from India; Organising GES (Global Exhibitions on Services); and SCs (Services Conclaves). Besides, some initiatives in sectors like tourism and shipping have also been taken in this regard Given the potential of India's services exports, services-sector negotiations both at multilateral and bilateral and regional levels are of vital importance to India

AMD Sees A Bright Future For PC Gaming
Peter Donnell / 7 years ago
It seems that not a year goes by without some kind of industry expert, major company or just some highly opinionated analyst claim that the PC is dead, or that PC gaming has stagnated, will die due to piracy or some other nonsense, although the same can be said that someone crops up each year to counter that will claims that this will be the year PC makes a comeback.
Many people believe that PC gaming has lost its edge and become a little lifeless, some of those people might even be right and there isn't as many new gamers coming to the PC market as their once was. AMD thinks that they can change all of that and personally I think they've got a pretty good shot at it.
AMD's Corporate Vice President of Global Channel Sales was speaking with Heise.de in a recent interview where he said "Most people would say that it has lost some of its charm I say that our commitment and work with game developers to bring back some of [PC gaming] stimulus. I'll give you an example: My father is a PC gamer. But for a few years, he has pursued other interests. When Tomb Raider came out, my father saw the images TressFX hair simulation and wanted the game. TressFX for us is just the beginning of a whole series of things that we will do together with game developers have to make PC gaming more exciting,"
Features like TressFX may not be perfect, but it was a great way of boosting not only promotion for the game, but also for AMD hardware which is of course a good thing for both parties. The TressFX hair simulation offered something new and maybe even a little gimmicky, but that doesn't make it any different from the other graphical enhancements that we see added over the years, at least this one was a little more fun and creative than most others.
Its within AMDs best interest to work closely with developers, if they can come up with unique technology and features for games that fit well with their hardware, then it can only benefit the gamer further and in turn the developers and hardware manufacturers.

But today is Sunday, so no bear-making for me just yet; instead I have the promise of a peaceful afternoon to myself while Stuart does that inexplicable man thing and braves the cold to join his dad watching their footy team play live. I fully intend to make the most of my 'me' time to finish the colourful little fellow below, whilst watching a suitably 'girly' film and toasting myself in front the fire ... could anything be more perfect on this icy January Sunday? Oh yes! You're absolutely right, I should include some chocolate ... first though, some piping hot soup!
2009, not only a time for review, but also a time for renewal. Twelve more bear-making months lay before me and I am hoping they will be creatively fulfilling and of course, profitable! The best thing about a new year is with it comes a clean slate and after a family filled fortnight, I am ready to lay aside my 'Mum' head until teatime each day (when they return home from work hungry!) to claim back my daytime hours and begin work on my 2009 bears.
A tidy workroom for Jan 2009 ... note to self: those shelves need new bears to sit on them Paula!
I spent a few necessary hours tidying during the Christmas holiday and am now happy to have a well organised workroom I can move around in again - it was resembling a dumping ground before Christmas. I also have a delicious stash of new fabrics to work with and like the proverbial kid in a candy shop, I can't wait to indulge myself and start bringing these half metre beauties to life.

On a recent discipleship course I was attending, there was a sentence in the material that struck me:
The Bible and prayer are two ways to hear from God.
It's kind of an obvious thing, but the sort of stuff that we can not really apply in our lives. We know God speaks through the Bible, and we want to hear from God…but do we turn to his word?
Well, there are various reasons why we don't but easy of access can be a big one. For some people, reading just isn't the easiest thing. It could be because of eyesight of specific learning difficulties. However, it would be bad if we just wrote these people off as being unable to learn from scripture. Luckily there is a new Kickstarter project that might help. Even better, it can also boost your scriptural habits even if you enjoy reading the Bible.
What is Dwell?
Dwell is a future app (starting out as iOS only) that focuses on listening to scripture rather than reading. They point to the fact that until the 19th century (with widespread literacy), this was the way most people took in scripture.
The app uses voice artists to read scripture in an authentic way, not a monotonous drone or booming radio voice.
It contains original music and artwork design to fit these playlists as well as an interface that contains many common ways you might want to browse scripture including
- listening plans
- stories
- passages
- playlists (on different topics)
- and a traditional chapter and verse layout
This is supported by a subscription (yup, subscriptions are the future of app pricing) to support the development of the app and adding further audio for more scriptures (it isn't launching with the full Bible, unfortunately).
Should You Kickstart It?
If you are a fan of audiobooks and podcasts but find the audio recordings in your current Bible app a bit dull, then this is an app you should definitely consider backing. After all, there is a lifetime plan that means you can pay once and use indefinitely. It may also be worth checking out if you have a great audio scripture choice already.

The challenge
Heat without the stress for aquarium-dwellers
Point Defiance Zoo in Washington was in the process of an aquarium expansion project to build a new shark tank and sea life aquarium. The construction company tasked with the build needed to find a way to heat the interior of the all-concrete structures to the required 65°F. On top of getting clean, warm air into the area, the equipment would need to keep noise levels low enough so as not to disturb the sea life or visitors. What's more, they needed something that would be fuel efficient and capable of running for an extended period of time without being constantly refuelled.
Project fact file
Target temperature
Heaters used
Noise level of heaters
The solution
Quiet, low-power, fuel-efficient heaters
After joining the construction team for a site walk to figure out the best approach, we suggested a customized plan, including three diesel-powered, indirect fired heaters. With the capabilities to put out 500,000 BTU, these units operate at only 60db (about conversation-level), so noise wouldn't trouble those in the water or dry land. Not only could these run on low power for extended periods, we also hooked them up to external fuel tanks for maximum fuel efficiency, making refuelling an even rarer demand.
The Aggreko difference
The ideal solution for your build, created by an experienced, conscientious team that really knows their stuff
The impact
A system so flawless no one noticed it there
The setup worked perfectly, heating the structures to a comfortable 65°F. Our plan was so quiet and effective that guests of the zoo, both those who drive home and those that call it home, didn't notice the heating modules.
In fact, the superintendent was so thrilled with the on-time, hiccup-free installation and performance that he called a few months later to discuss the next project!
"Getting the right equipment online within tight budgets and deadlines is essential for the construction industry. Delivering under pressure is what we do best."

UC Irvine Receives $1 Million Donation for Rocket Launch
The University of California, Irvine is looking to become the first university to shoot a rocket into space. That dream moved closer to reality after nonprofit STEM company Base 11 gifted $1 million to the school last week.
The "Moonshot Initiative" will help create a rocketry program and lab at UCI's Henry Samueli School of Engineering. Funds will also provide a mobile center and assembly trailer for off-site repairs.
Students will start by constructing a rocket that can launch 25,000 feet high, then 50,000 feet high. The school plans to have a rocket that can reach the Karman line at 328,000 feet in the next two years. This line represents the boundary between the Earth's atmosphere and outer space.
The lab, which will be located on the ground floor of the Engineering Tower, is expected to be finished by the end of summer 2017.
Samueli Foundation Donates $30 Million to UC Irvine
The Samueli Foundation pledged $30 million to UC Irvine last week to construct a new science building that will be able to perform large-scale engineering, computing and physical sciences research. Additionally, the school has obtained $50 million in state funds and $40 million in campus funds for a total of $120 million.
In an email message to the UCI community, Chancellor Howard Gillman stated, "As UCI continues to grow and develop, it is vital that we are properly equipped to address a broad range of global challenges, working together on multidisciplinary projects that will change lives for the better."
"A key component of our strategic plan is to develop appropriate programs and structures to facilitate interdisciplinary, problem-based scholarship and teaching. This includes establishing campus-wide opportunities for extraordinary faculty to engage in cutting-edge research, promoting team science as an area of excellence, and constructing a physical space for this important work to flourish."
With this recent donation, Henry Samueli, a UCI professor, and his wife Susan Samueli tie with Paul Merage for the second-largest donation in university history. The couple gave $20 million to the the School of Engineering in 1999 and $5.7 million in 2001 to establish the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine.
The 100,000-square-foot facility will be located near Frederick Reines Hall. Construction will begin in fall 2017 and is expected to finish in three years.
UC Irvine Receives $9.6 Million Malaria Research Grant
The National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases has awarded a UC Irvine study $9.6 million over the next seven years. The study examines the effect of environmental changes on malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. With this funding, UCI is also established as one of the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research. Public health professor Guiyun Yan leads the UCI study.
According to the World Health Organization's 2016 World Malaria Report, there were approximately 212 million new malaria cases and 429,000 malaria deaths in 2015. A malaria vaccine has yet to be approved for widespread use.
UCI will work with researchers from the U.S., Australia, Kenya and Ethiopia on three main projects. The first will weigh the impact of environmental modifications on malaria, the second looks at the impact of environmental changes on vector ecology and third strives to ascertain environmental effects on malaria pathogenesis and immunity.
UC Irvine Named One of Forbes' Best Value Colleges
UC Irvine has landed a top ten spot on the Forbes 2017 Best Value College survey released last week.
Forbes surveyed 300 universities and institutions to find which school had "the best bang for the tuition buck based on tuition costs, school quality, post-grad earnings, student debt and graduation success."
UCI earned the eighth spot with UC Berkeley, UCLA and UC Davis at number one, two and nine respectively. UC San Diego just missed the top ten at number eleven.
