Sometimes I wonder how some ideas get pushed through to execution. And other times, I don't really have any interest in the answer, because it yields stuff like this:
For the Surfrider Foundation by Saatchi & Saatchi, LA, I think it pretty much speaks for itself. While bizarre, it's definitely generating a bit of internet buzz. And it's a nice break from some of the other Surfrider messages out there, like repackaging garbage.

Check out this groove-ridden, super-sexy anthem for making terrible errors. It's a groovy banger, and possibly one of our favourite tracks of the year.
With the end of the festival season approaching, Capitano are set to release the final single of their highly praised debut album 'Hi!': 'Dive!' is an ode to regret and regrettable choices. A gloomy homage to Pink Floyd, cast down a hurtful and very personal abyss.

Model horses
Model horses is a collecting niche focusing on the buying or making of model horses, often based on real-life breeds or actual horses.
As with many collectibles niches, the hobby has been enhanced in recent years by online sellers and internet discussion forums.
The origins of the model horse hobby, according to Model Horse Guide, date back to the 1950's when the Breyer Company produced its first horse figurine for the MasterCrafter Clock Company to go on top of a clock.
Breyer kept the molds for the horse and when the Clock Company went broke, Breyer sold just the horse. "Over fifty years later, the model horse hobby is better and more populated than ever," says the Guide.
Types of horses
Model horses are now sold online by many retailers, with stock and models by artists being released each year. These models are regarded as art in some circles, and as memorabilia in others with painted ponies falling into the former category.
Autographed models
In response to requests from our enthusiastic collectors for autographed models, website The Trail of Painted Ponies has created and sells "Official Autographed Editions" figurines.
This meets the demand of serious collectors who have been searching for a way to collect figurines that are hand-signed and hand-numbered by the artists.
Jewelled horses
Aside from painted and autographed horses, models decorated with jewels are also available on the markets.
Values and sales
Prices of model horses vary, normally between two figures ($40 to $50) and up to around $300.
Online sellers
Popular online model horse sellers include MyAuctionBarn (model horse auctions) and etsy.com, as well as eBay.
Internet discussion forums
Haynet is a popular discussion board for collectors of horse models. Elsewhere, website the Model Horse Gallery has "742 people … [keeping] tabs on its news updates, and information from the model horse collecting community" on its Facebook page.

Earls of Suave and pre-burlesque iconography that adorned platters that matter
Blimey, it all seems like a long time ago now that I was a-flicking through the record racks next to Camden Town tube and being intrigued by/debating a purchase or two of these particular platters.
If you should not know, Earls of Suave were a suave, escapee Elvis, garage-esque-a-billy band that graced stages and vinyl in the early 1990s.
Amongst their ranks they variously included a number of former and future members of Gallon Drunk, The Flaming Stars, The Stingrays, Thee Headcoats and Thee Headcoatees and could almost be considered a prototype gathering for a combo yet to arrive.
There's something more than a little iconic about these covers – particularly A Cheat – and they may well have shared a pre-burlesque-shimmy-and-shake-revival, tumbling forward in time with the gals that grace the sleeves of the Las Vegas Grind albums (see Day #38/365a).
Peruse a smattering of their work here and a smattering more at the old Discogs here.
Have a goggle at some relatively rare flickerings and screaming here.

DFW Raptors – Hawks, Falcons, and Eagles
Many people hold a particular fascination with raptors—otherwise known as birds of prey. I know I do. These big, powerful birds inspire us with their raw power, grace and majesty. So respected are these birds that they are often chosen as sports team mascots. Many countries use birds of prey as their national symbol.
The DFW Metroplex is home to a number of these mighty birds. Depending on the season, there can be as many as 20 different species of falconiformes living in the North Texas area. Some are seasonal migrants. Other are what is known as occasional vagrants—birds that sometimes roam outside their normal range. When you're as big and powerful as a raptor soaring high in the sky, moving outside your home range is not difficult to do.
West County Hawkwatch 2019/2020 Event dates are listed below, More dates coming soon. We are a North Bay Area, (Ca.) group bringing attention to North American Birds of Prey and the threats they face. We provide Identification and Education Programs, Hikes, Tours and ID Workshops. We also monitor encroachment of wind turbines into the North Bay, we do Nest Site protection, Raptor Migration counts, Studies and Documentation. Donations received fund youth Educational and Book Programs.

Belfast City Council appoints Irish language officer
Belfast City Council has appointed the first dedicated Irish language officer in its history.
The announcement was made at Belfast City Hall on Tuesday.
Belfast becomes the fourth council in Northern Ireland to appoint an Irish language officer.
A second officer with responsibility for Ulster-Scots, sign language and other languages has also been appointed.
The officers are expected to develop and promote use of their respective languages within the council and among the public.
The posts are jointly funded by Belfast City Council and the all island languages body, Foras Na Gaeilge.
Unionist councillors had wanted one officer for all languages to be appointed but that was rejected by a council vote in October 2017.
At the event at Belfast City Hall, research by Conradh Na Gaeilge (CnG) and the Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ) into how Northern Ireland's 11 councils are complying with their obligations with regard to the Irish language.
They suggest that, while there are areas of good practice, a number of councils are not fulfilling their obligations to facilitate use of the Irish language under the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages.
The research covered areas including bilingual street signs, Irish language policies and translation services for Irish speakers.

Many students traded in Michigan weather for warmth and sunshine over break, including the Hillsdale College softball team, which took advantage of the warm weather in Clermont, Florida, to play 14 games. Head coach Joe Abraham said the games gave a young team some much-needed experience before heading into conference play.
With nearly half of the lineup being freshmen, Abraham said the team's 10 – 13 record shows a perseverance against worthy opponents, which bodes well for the rest of the season.
The series of games began on a high note with a 3 – 2 victory over University of Minnesota Duluth, a team that is 16 – 8 on the season. After getting three runs in the first two innings, including a home run from freshman shortstop Sam Catron, the Chargers held the lead for the remainder of the game. Freshman pitcher Dana Weidinger shut out Duluth over the final six innings, striking out eight batters while allowing only four hits and a walk. Senior outfielder Bekah Kastning scored one run, and junior third baseman Kelsey Gockman's single scored sophomore second baseman Amanda Marra.
Catron's home run, the first of her collegiate career, was a theme repeated throughout the course of the week for many of the freshman players.
"A lot of people had their first hits," freshman catcher Sydney San Juan said. "That was really cool to watch."
The Chargers' next set of wins came on Saturday, when they mercied University Saint Francis 14 – 4 and Saint Ambrose University 12 – 4 in respective six-inning and five-inning games. Over the course of the day, the team turned its 27 hits into 26 runs.
In game one against St. Ambrose, San Juan went 2‑for‑2 with two runs and two RBIs. Freshman outfielder Victoria Addis went 3‑for‑3, with all hits producing a run. Kastning doubled twice, scoring once, and driving in two more runs.
In game two, Kastning continued her hitting streak with her third four-hit game of her career, scoring four runs. Over the course of the day, she reached base seven times in eight at-bats. Senior catcher Cassie Asselta had a career-high 5 RBIs in game two, and sophomore outfielder Katie Kish scored three runs and had four hits, another career high. Marra also scored twice.
In the circle, Weidinger won game one, and freshman pitcher Erin Gordon got the win in game two in relief.
The next two games proved difficult for the Chargers, which senior pitcher Kyra Rodi said was due to a combination of tough opponents and off-days for the batting lineup.
"We definitely had ups and downs, but I think our team dynamic really grew," Rodi said. "There were games where we made too many mental mistakes, where if we had been sharper, we would have won," Rodi said. "We just need to think through the game, and as the season goes on, I think that will get better."
San Juan agreed, citing the losses as a valuable experience.
"Coach is very optimistic about our losses, just because we have a young team," San Juan said. "Just being down there playing against the good competition was a good experience."
The team's next victories weren't until Thursday, when they played Concordia University-St. Paul and Viterbo University.
The team came back from a deficit early in the game and headed into the fifth inning tied 4 – 4. The Chargers answered a Concordia run with one of their own in the sixth inning when San Juan's single brought in junior first baseman Haley Lawrence's run. Asselta broke the tie in the bottom of the seventh with a walkoff single, bringing in Gockman for a 9 – 8 victory. Over the course of the game, Gockman scored three times, and Lawrence scored twice.
"We just kept hitting every inning and caught up," Abraham said. "That was a big win for us."
The winning streak continued against Viterbo with a 6 – 2 victory — freshman pitcher Alexis Newby's first win on the mound. The Chargers took an early 3 – 0 lead in the first three innings, and answered Vitterbo's two runs with three of their own in the bottom of the fourth.
On Friday, the team took an 8 – 1 loss to Slippery Rock University and a five-inning 12 – 1 loss to Bemidji State University. Abraham said the team will continue to work on its defense.
"For us to continue to improve, we need to clean up some areas of our defense — we're giving away too many runs," he said. "Just a lot of little things add up. We're working on getting our outfielders better reads off the bat, we're working on pitcher defense, we have to work on our defense taking outs whenever we can get them. It's all those things combined."
The Chargers' final win of the week was against Dominican College, with three of the runs from the team's 6 – 2 victory coming from Addis. Abraham said that after the opening victory against Minnesota Duluth, this was the team's strongest game overall.
"Those are the two games we played the best: good pitching, timely hitting, and solid defense all the way throughout," he said.
The team closed out their pre-conference play with a close 5 – 4 loss in a second game against Concordia, which was tied until Concordia scored twice in the final two innings of the game.
They ended their time in Florida 6 – 8, and an overall 10 – 13 record heading into conference play. They will open with home games against University of Findlay at 3 p.m. on Friday, and will play an additional two home games against Tiffin University on Sunday at noon.
Abraham said beginning conference play nearly halfway through the team's season bodes well for the team in terms of experience.
"It has been great to play 23 games before the league starts," Abraham said. "Now that we're in the middle of the season, we have a pretty good feel for the lineup and the things we need to work on."
Rodi agreed, saying the experience provided by the Florida games helped point out areas of improvement for the team.
"I think we're all excited to get back to work and improve the things we need to improve, but we're all thankful we got the chance to go to Florida and play so much," she said.

With their highly-anticipated new album set to arrive early next year, The Big Moon have now unveiled the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.
The new single 'Take A Piece' follows on from the previously shared tracks 'Your Light' and 'It's Easy Then' in previewing their sophomore LP 'Walking Like We Do', which is expected to be released on the 10th January via Fiction Records.
Speaking about their latest offering, Vocalist Juliette Jackson said, "I initially wrote this song for someone else, speculatively, but for a pop star. I'd already written an album's worth of songs but a lot of them felt similar to our first album and I wanted to try something different.
"I'd just watched a documentary about this pop star and seen how insane their life was and their intense relationship with their fans, and was blown away by how much of themselves they'd had to give up to have the life they had. So that's where the lyrics came from really. It was a bit of a turning point in the writing process… like sometimes you have to pretend to be someone else to change things up and say things in ways you didn't know you could. This mega pop star's life was literally nothing like mine but I could really identify with the vulnerability of being a performer and standing on stage every night and feeling the eyes of an audience, which can feel either grounding and unifying or - occasionally - scary and isolating, and something any performer can identify with, whether they're playing arenas or the windmill.
"It also has a lot to do with how it felt to write this second album. Trying to get out of your head, figuring out which voices to listen to and which to ignore, and ultimately wanting to pour yourself into the thing you're creating and make something honest and meaningful that might connect with someone else and mean something to them as well.
"At first, we weren't really sure if this could be a big moon song, we were on unfamiliar ground… but the idea just stuck around. And we kept going back to it, and the more we played with it the more we fell in love with it, and now it couldn't be more ours. And you know what, it's exciting that as musicians we can do whatever the hell we want! And when we finally recorded it we were like gahhh what have we made? Is this a big moon song? Can we be this self-indulgent? BUT WHY THE HELL NOT?
"Look we made a pop song!"

ENIM: Custom Entity Models
The ENIM mod is an in-development mod that adds the ability to alter and replace entity and tile entity models and their animations through the use of resource packs. To implement this, ENIM uses a format similar to the vanilla block model format, with additions and changes where blocks and entities differ. Moreover, ENIM is designed to be easy for other mods to use, enabling other mods to opt-in to the ENIM system with the same effort as creating a block.
ENIM uses a JSON format for "entitystates" and entity model files. This format includes defining cuboid model elements with optional scaling and rotation, defining animations under varied circumstances, defining properties such as shadow size and nameplate height, and importing elements and animations from arbitrary model files.
Animations are written in a custom script called AbieScript. Animations define (symbolic) model element names which are rotated and translated according to different curve schema, either linear or sinusoidal. Transformations may be grouped together in frames which are played one after another; and optional frame containing initial transformations may also be provided.
Project Repository
ENIM is open source and may be found on GitHub using this link (https://github.com/kvverti/enim).
Please report bugs below or on the project GitHub!
Dev release 3 (requires Forge for MC1.11): Download from GitHub | See release notes
Any resource pack artists wanting to submit screenshots of their creations are welcome to message/post below.
Please see the wiki pages on GitHub for detailed information on the model and animation systems. Source code is also available on GitHub. Resource pack artists should check the latest release notes for the latest features. Mod authors interested in using ENIM should check the wiki documentation and source for examples on how to create and register entity models.
Interoperability with Optifine Custom Entity Models (CEM)
Optifine CEM will override ENIM entity models if enabled. It is perfectly fine to have both ENIM and CEM active at the same time, but Optifine CEM will take precedence over ENIM if custom entity models is enabled in Optifine.
Multiplayer/Mod Compatibility
ENIM is a client-only mod. This means that ENIM does not need to (and should not) be installed on servers. All features of ENIM should still work properly in multiplayer. If there is any discrepancy, please report it!

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump is open to authorising additional strikes on Syria if its government uses chemical weapons again or deploys barrel bombs in the country, the White House said on Monday.
"The sight of people being gassed and blown away by barrel bombs ensures that if we see this kind of action again, we hold open the possibility of future action," White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters.
"If you gas a baby, if you put a barrel bomb in to innocent people ... you will see a response from this president."
Barrel bombs are oil drums or cylinders packed with explosives and shrapnel. Trump ordered a cruise missile strike on Syria's Shayrat air base last week in response to what his administration and US allies say was a poison gas attack by Syria's military in which scores of civilians, including many children, died.
Trump says 'what Assad did is terrible,' 'something should happen'
Spicer said later his mention of barrel bombs as a potential trigger for further action by the United States did not reflect a change in position.
"Nothing has changed in our posture," he said by email. "The president retains the option to act in Syria against the Assad regime whenever it is in the national interest, as was determined following that government's use of chemical weapons against its own citizens. And as the president has repeatedly made clear, he will not be telegraphing his military responses."
Strike hits 20% of Syria's operational aircraft
The US cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base last week damaged or destroyed 20 per cent of Syria's operational aircraft, as well as fuel and ammunition sites and air defense capabilities, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Monday.
"The Syrian government has lost the ability to refuel or re-arm aircraft at Shayrat airfield and at this point, use of the runway is of idle military interest," Mattis said in a statement. "The Syrian government would be ill-advised ever again to use chemical weapons."
Pentagon suspects chemical weapons still at air base
The Pentagon believes the Syrian regime likely has additional chemical weapons stocks at the airfield struck by US missiles last week, but these were deliberately left untouched, an official said on Monday.
US intelligence experts assess Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's military is probably hoarding the weapons in munitions depots at Shayrat airfield near Homs in central Syria, the US military's Central Command spokesman Colonel John Thomas said.
"We suspected there was a significant probability there could be other chemical weapons which would be ready to go, weaponized in those facilities, and so we didn't strike those," Thomas told reporters.
The chemical stocks were left untouched because the Pentagon did not want to risk unintentionally sending a plume of toxic gas across parts of Syria.
"Our advice was to make sure we didn't inflict any greater damage by touching any of the chemical weapons in the area," Thomas added.
Russia warns of serious consequences from US strike in Syria
"We were trying to degrade their capability to launch aircraft and to load them up with chemical weapons."
The Pentagon says the strike destroyed more than 20 Syrian jets but the military has come under criticism for not targeting Shayrat's runways, amid reports regime planes were again using the base hours after the attack by 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Thomas said the runways were deliberately avoided because the United States was trying to draw a clear line that its military action was in response to the suspected chemical attack, and not signal a willingness to get more involved in Syria's brutal civil war.
US forces gave Moscow a heads up shortly before Friday's strike, as Russian personnel and equipment were based at Shayrat under Russia's ongoing military intervention to prop up Assad.
US strikes on Syria: How the world reacted
Moscow reacted furiously to the US strike and immediately threatened to suspend a vital hotline established to avoid mishaps between the two powers in Syria.
Thomas refused to confirm whether the so-called "deconfliction line" remains operational, but said that even without it, "there are still ways for the pilots to hail each other."
While US and Russian pilots can use radar to see each other, the lack of a direct line of communication would further heighten the risks of misunderstandings or accidents in Syria's already crowded skies.

Maine Hazardous Waste and Universal Waste Requirements Training
Pierce Atwood is excited to offer a one-day hazardous waste and universal waste training course. The course will provide training on Maine requirements, at $325 per person, with discounts for multiple signups. We encourage early sign up, as space is limited.
This live training will be conducted in our office on the Portland waterfront. We are pleased to offer this training as an alternative to other training that is longer, or more costly, or that does not focus on Maine requirements.
This course is intended for those who are familiar with the basics of hazardous waste management. Our detailed training will be conducted in an informal manner, including opportunity for questions and answers, and we will work through the types of questions that typically arise from employees and from government inspectors – including recent enforcement actions and trends. Our training will include:
- Federal and state programs, and who enforces when
- Hazardous waste identification issues, "hidden" issues in waste identification
- Hazardous waste management issues, including satellite accumulation, strategies, and recent enforcement positions on waste management
- On-site treatment: treating without a license and when licensing is required
- Universal waste identification and management
- Contingency plan requirements and enforcement issues
- Hazardous waste management and waste minimization programs
- Training requirements and training issues
- Spills and clean up, including how and when to report
- Federal and state hazardous waste and universal waste rulemaking initiatives
- Manifest issues and DOT rules as they apply to hazardous waste
- Leading questions of inspectors and how not to fear enforcement
This training will build on your knowledge and teach you how to solve real world problems.
In addition to everything listed above and more, we are continuing our successful and fun game of "Hazardous Waste Jeopardy." There is a place on the registration form to indicate your interest in being a contestant.
We continue to offer company-specific on-site training for hazardous waste, universal waste, and the triennial training for U.S. DOT Hazardous Material Transportation for those desiring a cost-effective means to train multiple employees, for those not comfortable training others, and for those who can't or do not wish to travel. We encourage you to contact us if you are interested in an on-site training session.
Please find enclosed a Registration Form and details on location and scheduling, driving directions, and parking information. Lunch will be provided. Again, if you are interested, please register quickly – last year we were unable to accommodate everyone due to space limitations.
If you have any questions, please contact us at email@example.com or 207-791-1212.
Very truly yours,

The Word of God
The appointed psalmody is said.
Psalm 56
Refrain: In God I trust, and will not fear.
1 Have mercy on me, O God, for they trample over me; ♦
all day long they assault and oppress me.
2 My adversaries trample over me all the day long; ♦
many are they that make proud war against me.
3 In the day of my fear I put my trust in you, ♦
in God whose word I praise.
4 In God I trust, and will not fear, ♦
for what can flesh do to me? R
5 All day long they wound me with words; ♦
their every thought is to do me evil.
6 They stir up trouble; they lie in wait; ♦
marking my steps, they seek my life.
7 Shall they escape for all their wickedness? ♦
In anger, O God, cast the peoples down.
8 You have counted up my groaning;
put my tears into your bottle; ♦
are they not written in your book? R
9 Then shall my enemies turn back
on the day when I call upon you; ♦
this I know, for God is on my side.
10 In God whose word I praise,
in the Lord whose word I praise, ♦
in God I trust and will not fear:
what can flesh do to me?
11 To you, O God, will I fulfil my vows; ♦
to you will I present my offerings of thanks,
12 For you will deliver my soul from death
and my feet from falling, ♦
that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Refrain: In God I trust, and will not fear.
Faithful God,
your deliverance is nearer than we know;
free us from fear
and help us to find courage in your Word,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Psalm 57
1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, ♦
for my soul takes refuge in you;
2 In the shadow of your wings will I take refuge ♦
until the storm of destruction has passed by.
3 I will call upon the Most High God, ♦
the God who fulfils his purpose for me.
4 He will send from heaven and save me
and rebuke those that would trample upon me; ♦
God will send forth his love and his faithfulness.
5 I lie in the midst of lions, ♦
people whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword.
6 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, ♦
and your glory over all the earth.
7 They have laid a net for my feet;
my soul is pressed down; ♦
they have dug a pit before me
and will fall into it themselves.
8 My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready; ♦
I will sing and give you praise.
9 Awake, my soul; awake, harp and lyre, ♦
that I may awaken the dawn.
10 I will give you thanks, O Lord, among the peoples; ♦
I will sing praise to you among the nations.
11 For your loving-kindness is as high as the heavens, ♦
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
12 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, ♦
and your glory over all the earth.
Tender God,
gentle protector in time of trouble,
pierce the gloom of despair
and give us, with all your people,
the song of freedom and the shout of praise;
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Psalm (63*)
Refrain: My soul is athirst for God, even for the living God.
1 O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; ♦
my soul is athirst for you.
2 My flesh also faints for you, ♦
as in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
3 So would I gaze upon you in your holy place, ♦
that I might behold your power and your glory.
4 Your loving-kindness is better than life itself ♦
and so my lips shall praise you.
5 I will bless you as long as I live ♦
and lift up my hands in your name. R
6 My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, ♦
and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
7 When I remember you upon my bed ♦
and meditate on you in the watches of the night.
8 For you have been my helper ♦
and under the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
9 My soul clings to you; ♦
your right hand shall hold me fast. R
10 But those who seek my soul to destroy it ♦
shall go down to the depths of the earth;
11 Let them fall by the edge of the sword ♦
and become a portion for jackals.
12 But the king shall rejoice in God;
all those who swear by him shall be glad, ♦
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
Refrain: My soul is athirst for God, even for the living God.
To you we come, radiant Lord,
the goal of all our desiring,
beyond all earthly beauty;
gentle protector, strong deliverer,
in the night you are our confidence;
from first light be our joy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Each psalm or group of psalms may end with
AllGlory to the Father and
to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.
If there are two Scripture readings, the first may be read here, or both may be read after the canticle.
Judges 6.1-24
The Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Midian for seven years. The hand of Midian prevailed over Israel; and because of Midian the Israelites provided for themselves hiding-places in the mountains, caves and strongholds. For whenever the Israelites put in seed, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east would come up against them. They would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the land, as far as the neighbourhood of Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel, and no sheep or ox or donkey. For they and their livestock would come up, and they would even bring their tents, as thick as locusts; neither they nor their camels could be counted; so they wasted the land as they came in. Thus Israel was greatly impoverished because of Midian; and the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help.
When the Israelites cried to the Lord on account of the Midianites, the Lord sent a prophet to the Israelites; and he said to them, 'Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I led you up from Egypt, and brought you out of the house of slavery; and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out before you, and gave you their land; and I said to you, "I am the Lord your God; you shall not pay reverence to the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live." But you have not given heed to my voice.'
Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites. The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, 'The Lord is with you, you mighty warrior.' Gideon answered him, 'But sir, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our ancestors recounted to us, saying, "Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?" But now the Lord has cast us off, and given us into the hand of Midian.' Then the Lord turned to him and said, 'Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian; I hereby commission you.' He responded, 'But sir, how can I deliver Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.' The Lord said to him, 'But I will be with you, and you shall strike down the Midianites, every one of them.' Then he said to him, 'If now I have found favour with you, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Do not depart from here until I come to you, and bring out my present, and set it before you.' And he said, 'I will stay until you return.'
So Gideon went into his house and prepared a kid, and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour; the meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the oak and presented them. The angel of God said to him, 'Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and put them on this rock, and pour out the broth.' And he did so. Then the angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight. Then Gideon perceived that it was the angel of the Lord; and Gideon said, 'Help me, Lord God! For I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.' But the Lord said to him, 'Peace be to you; do not fear, you shall not die.' Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord, and called it, The Lord is peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiezrites.
A Song of the Covenant, or another suitable canticle, for example, number 44 (page 596), may be said
AllI have given you as a light
to the nations,
and I have called you in righteousness. Alleluia.
1Thus says God, who created
the heavens, ♦
who fashioned the earth and all that dwells in it;
2Who gives breath to
the people upon it ♦
and spirit to those who walk in it,
3 'I am the Lord and I
have called you in righteousness, ♦
I have taken you by the hand and kept you;
4 'I have given you as
a covenant to the people, ♦
a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind,
5'To bring out the captives
from the dungeon, ♦
from the prison, those who sit in darkness.
6'I am the Lord, that
is my name; ♦
my glory I give to no other.'
Isaiah 42.5-8a
AllGlory to the Father and
to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.
AllI have given you as a light
to the nations,
and I have called you in righteousness. Alleluia.
Scripture Reading
One or more readings appointed for the day are read.
The reading(s) may be followed by a time of silence.
Luke 14.1-11
On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely. Just then, in front of him, there was a man who had dropsy. And Jesus asked the lawyers and Pharisees, 'Is it lawful to cure people on the sabbath, or not?' But they were silent. So Jesus took him and healed him, and sent him away. Then he said to them, 'If one of you has a child or an ox that has fallen into a well, will you not immediately pull it out on a sabbath day?' And they could not reply to this.
When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honour, he told them a parable. 'When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honour, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; and the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, "Give this person your place", and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, "Friend, move up higher"; then you will be honoured in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.'
A suitable song or chant, or a responsory in this or another form, may follow
Fear not, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
AllFear not, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.
When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned.
AllI have called you by name; you are mine.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
AllFear not, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
from Isaiah 43

Rafa Benitez has played down the reaction of Jonjo Shelvey after the midfielder was subbed during the 1-1 draw with Swansea City .
The England international shook his head after learning he was coming off and then appeared to refuse to shake hands with Benitez.
Shelvey has been linked with West Ham United in recent days and his future is unclear at St James' Park after a disappointing season so far.
The former Liverpool man has been sent off twice this season during United's struggle in the Premier League.
After the game, Benitez said: "When you are not winning a game like this one, so important, any player has to be disappointed if they do not continue playing.
"But we have to make the substitutions and that is it.
"I didn't have any problems with what he did."
Newcastle banked a point to stay clear of the bottom three but could have earned a win after a productive performance in the first half.
Unfortunately, Newcastle couldn't take their chances and went in level at the break.
Benitez reflected: "I liked the team in the first half, and the chances that we created.
"I was disappointed because we didn't take the chances, and also to concede a goal in the way that we conceded the goal, but I was quite happy with the reaction of the team.
Click here for Lee Ryder's reaction:
"We were very positive, and had a real intensity and determination to try to score.
"We were trying to win the game, but I didn't like the last five minutes when we were making some wrong decisions and giving them the chance to get a counter-attack.
"There were a lot of positives, and some negatives that we have to correct as soon as possible.
"It would be worse if we were not creating chances.
"The way that we were working, and the chances we were creating, means that we can do it.
"We have to carry on doing that, and maybe create more chances if we want to be sure that we go ahead.
"But we could have scored."

When Mercedes went XR, they went big with Magic Leap, motion platform VR and mobile AR.
Draw & Code were commissioned by events and communication agency Meet & Potato to create three immersive experiences for Mercedes-Benz Vans. They formed the centrepiece of a roadshow that was to tour the UK with three experiential installations that sought to explain the Mercedes vision for the future of mobility. The full XR spectrum was to be represented – AR, MR and VR.
A Magic Leap experience was to be the highlight of the installations. The user would be able to explore a tabletop cityscape with animated vehicles moving through it and annotations hovering above. However, rather than leave the centre of the space bare, we opted for a physical representation of the city. This provided a focal point to the room and it meant that the mixed reality experience was even more vivid and 'real'.
The city scene was soundtracked by spatial audio. This meant that as the user got closer to a vehicle or a building, the sound effects were correspondingly louder and appeared to be emanating from the correct place.
The second experience placed visitors into the cab of the Mercedes van using 360 video and virtual reality using a suite of Oculus Rift S headsets. Coupled with custom motion platform rigs, it was the closest thing to stepping inside the vehicle itself that could be managed in the space afforded by the 18-wheeler the experiences sat inside.
Last but certainly not least, a mobile AR app that was pre-loaded on iPads allowed the visitors to engage with backlit images that acted as triggers to several brand interactions.
The Mercedes-Benz adVANce roadshow headed out to tour the UK with a fantastic reaction from the German firm's top brass including their new CEO.
Here was a client who was willing to embrace the full spectrum of XR and wanted to see the right technology used to tell the story.
As one of the first Magic Leap experiences to use a bespoke physical set to anchor the action, this was technically and creatively a very satisfying project to get our teeth into.
For an immersive technology studio like ourselves, the parallels between this travelling roadshow housed in a truck and the 'Reality on Wheels' VR expo organised to help sell early virtual technologies to the movie industry is something to savour!

Superfood seller edges to busty Thai pornstars after eating hundreds of grams of Brazilian nuts
Aym Alinda from Sathon, Thailand, full-time sells superfood online – Brazil Nuts, Chia Seeds, Almonds, Organic Walnuts, Cashews, Gojiberries and lots of other similar stuff.
Aym is also a sex blogger. He is a devout follower of TCM who writes on his blog that TCM mentions that the libido of both the sexes rise during the summers, Ancient Greeks claim that it rises in the winters, Prehistoric and Ancient Indians claimed that it stays the same for the men throughout the year but rises for the females during the rainy season.
It goes without saying that Aym follows the claim of the TCM. He regularly participates in No Nut November but jerks off multiple times a day to the Thai porn clips (คลิปโป๊) all summers.
Aym claims on his blog that the Solar Dynasty (Sooryavanshi) people of India are the descendants of the Real Nagarvadhus (Temple Prostitutes) of India. He adds that they are referred to as the Solar Dynasty not because they are the children of the sun, but because their moms' pussies used to be as hot as the sun. He claims that the truth has never been told to the public till date but soon it will be disclosed and that will be the day when the arrogance and pride of the Sooryavanshi people will be destroyed.
Aym claims that he has always had a great game with the women and as per his observations, communication skills don't matter as much as the women in the media or their slaves make it out to be.
Riley Brenton hates huge bodybuilders but loves huge aesthetic cocks
Riley Brenton is a sex and porn blogger who claims that every 3rd minute, an adult American woman loses her virginity.
She claims that shaving a man's body hair is a feminist propaganda, the aim of which is to incapacitate the men from functioning at their best levels so that the women can takeover them. She adds that a man's body hair, especially on arms and chest give women sexual goosebumps and feminists can't stand them falling unconditionally for a man. Riley claims that the feminists want to make the men ugly and sexually attractive along with dysfunctional at career and other aspects.
Riley Brenton claims that the nation of Turkey will enact the Constitutional Protection for the LGBT community by 2022, which will infuriate a great percentage of the Right-Wing Muslims.
Riley loves her men more wearing tight boxers than totally naked.
Riley dated both Hindu and Sikh men in the past. She claims that the Sikh men have larger dicks than their Hindu counterparts and the Sikhs also last longer compared to the Hindus, she adds that she is not being a racist or giving preferences to one religion here.
Riley writes on her blog that she hates huge bodybuilders but loves huge aesthetic cocks.
Riley loves internet, but hates television, she loves Youtube but hates DailyMotion, she loves Slack Chat but hates Discord.
Riley dated several wealthy businessmen in the past and she says that most of them are lame fucks.
The Globalization is Real – More Indian Female Escorts in Sydney, Australia than ever before and More Blonde Escorts in Goa, India than ever before
I recently met an escort in Goa who told me that she hates to have sex with her husband. She told me that even though they didn't have an open marriage, she still allows him to fuck whoever he wants to. He also knows that she escorts. She joked that she had no idea that there marriage soon will turn into an open one due to the lady's lack of interest in sex with her small-dick husband and difficult financial situation. She also told me that she buys a new sex doll for him every other month. She then joked that she has to ride Peter in order to not to have to ride Rob.
She told me that each time she has sex with her husband, she puts on her mechanical stopwatch that she bought off eBay for $50. She said that his stamina has been improving with age but his dick is still that small as it was the first time she saw it. She added that as much as his stamina has been improving, the sensitivity of his dick has been reducing and so is the stiffness of his small dick.
As per my observation over the decades, Half-Jewish and Half-Persian chicks are the best in the bed. History and Mythology has several examples to prove the same.
I also once had the pleasure of enjoying the Indian chick – Janani when I was out in Sydney to enjoy some vacations. She has only been featured in one porn movie till date. She is of Gujarati descent, living in Australia for past 12 years now. She told me that she only escorts in the colder months, namely, October, November, December, January, February and March. I was lucky to be there in the month of January.
Janani also told me that the man who produced her one and only porn movie, offered Dakota Runnels, the daughter of the Pro-Wrestlers Terri Runnels and Dustin Runnels, tons of money to feature in a porn movie, but Dakota rejected the offer with a threat. Then the producer's friend, who happens to have a huge sex toy business, offered her hundreds of thousands of Australian Dollars to allow them to use her face and body for a sex doll only to hear a bigger no with an even bigger threat.

Creating Insights Report for Organization Data
I would like to know if it's possible to create an Insights Report for Organizations based upon checked Check box attributes within the Organization. For example, if a Checkbox is known as 'Signed' and is checked within the Organization, then the value of this attribute is presented as 'True'. Would it be possible to pull any 'True' value within Organizations and set it as a different name, like 'Phase 1'?
1 Comments
Custom organisation fields are available in Insights.
You should see them listed under the 'Organizations' folder under the HOW option. You can then filter your report based on your 'signed' check box.
You cannot change how the 'signed' value is displayed on the body of the report. It will only show as True\ False\(empty value)
But you can double click the column heading to change the text there...

Nexus Architecture x 50 Intervention Köln
Ref: 2005
Materials: Original Lamda colour photograph, laminated on Dibon (ed. 7)
Dimensions: 150x120cm
Catalogued: p24 Phaidon Press, UK 2002
Exhibition history: 2001 USF Contemporay Art Musem Tampa, USA
Conceived as a process that forges the possibility of collective action and collaboration into a combined force, the various emanations of Orta's Nexus Architecture lead inwards towards a renewed level of social activism. As a series of interdependent sculptures, they manifest themselves as the result of a personal decision of the artist to re-enter a community structure as an act of liberty, which investigates the power of solidarity, through the symbolism of linkage. Whether within the confines of the Cartier Foundation in Paris, France, or through the bringing together of members drawn from the Usindiso Women's Shelter at the Johannesburg Biennale or citizens on the streets of our cities, Orta's body sculptures take on a social pertinence far beyond the parameters of a casual performance. Through a series of people dressed in out-landish, post-atomic, even pre-apocalyptic overalls, we witness the birth of a new multi-faceted, multi-limbed formation numbering upwards of 100 people joined together in a single human chain, sharing a common space.

Huawei Ascend Mate 7 Hands-on Preview: Big Potential
If any phone maker managed to take visitors of this year's IFA by surprise, it was Huawei, which unveiled the Ascend Mate 7 at the Berlin show. The 6-inch phablet's reveal wasn't a secret – information about it had been circling the rumor mill for weeks – but the Ascend Mate 7's overall quality surpassed all expectations, especially considering its announced price.
To be precise, the phablet includes a 6-inch, 1080p IPS display, offering 368 ppi of pixel density. That's solid, but more impressive is how thin its bezels are, with the screen taking up 85 percent of the entire front surface of the phone. The phone as a whole is undeniably huge, but if nothing else, it looks to be efficiently pieced together.
Based on our time with it, the Ascend Mate 7's display offers above average sharpness with vividly saturated colors. The contrast could be better, given that black tones aren't particularly dark, but viewing angles are also great, so it's difficult to complain too much here.
The Chinese giant's phablet comes with an eight-core HiSilicon Kirin 925 chipset, which, per usual, comes from Huawei itself. The chip uses a big.LITTLE architecture, offering four Cortex-A15 cores running at a 1.8 GHz clock for complex processes and four Cortex-A7 cores running at a 1.3 GHz clock for less demanding tasks. During our demo, we found that these guts offered exceptionally fluid performance, fast and smooth enough to rival the premium handsets on the market today.
However, the Ascend Mate 7's battery performance may be where the device shines brightest. The 4100mAh pack is massive on its own, but Huawei says that the phablet's internals will be significantly more efficient when it comes to conserving power. Together, Huawei claims, this'll allow the device to go two or three days without charging, even during intense usage periods.
Another pleasant surprise here is the inclusion of a fingerprint reader, located below the rear camera lens, which responded rapidly and consistently during our testing. Simply touching or swiping the reader unlocks the phone or launches specific functions. For instance, when you slightly touch the fingerprint reader with front-facing camera activated, the phone automatically takes a shot. Just touching the pad will wake the Mate 7 up from sleep without having to press any buttons. There are other examples too. All of this just worked — we never needed to exert any pressure or hold down too long to get the reader to recognize us, and the variety of use cases here make it look like this might be a noticeable step forward for the tech on smartphones.
Going back to that front-facing camera, Huawei clearly wants to be a market leader in selfie taking. The front shooter here is of the 5-megapixel variety, but its software allows for taking panoramic shots (in both vertical and horizontal orientation). The back-facing camera, meanwhile, offers a maximum resolution of 13 megapixels.
The Ascend Mate 7 is the Huawei's first device with Android OS 4.4 (KitKat) and the latest version of its Emotion UI 3.0 skin. However, the improvements here aren't all that noticeable over previous iterations of the software, mostly boiling down to more themes to switch through, lots and lots of wallpapers, and the ability to access a large archive of online magazines, which is free only for the users of this phablet. There are some small cosmetic touch-ups too, but this version of Emotion UI still feels like an iOS knockoff. That's not necessarily a bad thing, and it may prove popular, but it's not exactly a huge thrill.
Even with all that said, the Ascend Mate 7's price might be what turns the most heads amongst Huawei's customers and competition. A model with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of memory will go for 499 euros, while one with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage will retail for 599 euros. That's a nice bit of savings considering that the Mate 7 is a whole lot of phone. What's more, both models support microSD cards for expandable memory, and they both come with an extra SIM card slot for dual-SIM functionality. And when in dual-SIM mode, the device supports LTE data transfer via both lines.
Huawei hasn't detailed any release details for the US yet, only saying that the phone will challenge the likes of the Galaxy Note 4 in European and Asian markets in Q3 of this year.

Tech is "flunking" the diversity test, says activist and venture capitalist Freada Kapor Klein
2019/04/23 Leave a comment
Good and interesting interview:
On the latest Recode Decode, Kapor Klein says we need to "take a deep hard look at the BS notion of meritocracy."
In recent years, several venture capital firms in Silicon Valley have made public strides to become more diverse after decades of being predominantly led by white men. But Freada Kapor Klein, a venture capitalist who has advocated for diversity in tech since the 1980s, isn't impressed by their progress.
"Writ large, flunk," she said on the latest episode of Recode Decode. "Failing grade."
Kapor Klein spoke with Recode's Teddy Schleifer about why well-intentioned initiatives such as All Raise have not yet had an impact. If the tech industry is going to reflect the diversity of the whole country, she explained, hiring more white women isn't good enough.
"If what we do is count the number of women partners, and if those women partners are white and Asian and went to the same schools and grew up in the same zip codes and now live in the same zip codes as their male partners, that doesn't get me very far on diversity," Kapor Klein said. "Every single day I am awestruck, I am inspired by the entrepreneurs that come to pitch us. And they are from every walk of life, from every background possible, every combination of family circumstances, of race, of religion, of age, of gender, of LGBTQ status, disability."
Along with her husband, Mitch Kapor, Kapor Klein is the co-chair of the Oakland-based Kapor Center, which seeks to diversify tech through a combination of education, community organizing, and impact investing — in other words, only backing startups that "clos[e] gaps of access, of opportunity or outcome for low-income communities and/or communities of color." Another prominent impact investor, Bill McGlashan, has been implicated in the college admissions scandal, which Kapor Klein cast as "outrageous and not at all surprising."
"We have to once and for all take a deep hard look at the BS notion of meritocracy," she said. "This society has moved farther and farther and farther away from being meritocratic for many decades. As one venture capitalist put it recently, that in the last 50 years, there's been a bull market in inequality. I think we have to look at all of the forces including the ways in which tech has made things worse."
One highlight:
Big question before we toss to a break, if you were God here and you were designing … I think part of the challenge is that we're trying to change the venture capital system based on how it currently is, and there's so many things you can do. If you were God and you were starting over and you were designing how venture capital and how companies were funded to make sure that underrepresented groups were represented, what would it look like?
Well, I think it would have many dimensions. It would have much more concern for, who's sitting at the table? It would have much more concern for, what are the pathways in for entrepreneurs? There are many practices in VC that are inherently biased. So this notion of a "warm intro," and we've seen many a famous VC make public statements about "if you can't figure out how to get a warm intro to me …"
Screw you, right?
Yeah, "screw you. We don't want to talk to you." Well …
You can see that's very obvious how that would limit the pool of people?
Completely. Your zip code isn't close enough to mine. It's completely biased, and it's confusing accidents of birth with accomplishment.
You'd get rid of the warm intro.
Get rid of the warm intro. What's really interesting is we've gotten rid of the warm intro. People can send us their pitches directly over the website. We have invested in companies whose pitch decks come in over the website and none of us know anybody who could've introduced them to us. And they are businesses that meet our investment criteria.
And our investment criteria are pretty rigorous. And we see, between what comes to us individually and what comes over the website, we see about 3,000 deals a year. It's the criteria of investing that I would change, and the criteria for those investments, by definition, means you change who the entrepreneurs are and who the investors are.

Alex Murrel Johnson is pregnant! The 31-year-old former Laguna Beach star took to Instagram on Sunday, March 11, to announce that she is expecting her baby no. 2 with husband Kyle Mark Johnson.
The post features a series of photos featuring the couple and their first child, 19-month-old son Levi William. In the pictures, Alex flashed her growing baby bump as she wore a black For Love & Lemons maxi dress with brown and white flowers.
Through the post, Alex, who appeared on the MTV series in 2005, also revealed the due date for the unborn child. She said that Levi's brother will join the family in July. She wrote,
Baby brother on his way this July ?? #JulyBabies ??: @taylorcolephoto
Here's the post, check it out.
All these beautiful snaps were taken by Alex's fellow Laguna Beach cast member as well as her best friend, Taylor Cole, who is also reported to be pregnant.
Alex and husband Kyle have been married since October 2014. The welcomed their first child, Levi in July 2016.
Shortly after the birth of Levi, Alex talked to PEOPLE, she said,
I don't think anyone can prepare you or accurately describe the feeling of becoming a mother. It's a love like no other and something that has changed my life in ways I never thought imaginable,
As previously reported, another Laguna Beach star Dieter Schmitz is also expecting his first child with wife Isabell Hiebl.

An engine in the broadest sense, is something that produces an output effect from a given input. The origin of engineering however, came from the design, building and working of (military "engines") because before such devices came to be employed in battles there were very few mechanical devices used. Military engines included siege engines, large catapults, trebuchets, battering rams etc. So the first engineers were military engineers, then later as engineering developed, there came Civil engineers. These were engineers who dealt with designing, building and commissioning roads, bridges, docks and wharves, large public and private buildings etc. There also exists an overlap in English between two meanings of the word "engineer": "those who operate engines" and "those who design and construct new items." An engine whose purpose is to produce kinetic energy output from a fuel source is called a prime mover; alternatively, a motor is a device which produces kinetic energy from a preprocessed "fuel" (such as electricity, a flow of hydraulic fluid or compressed air). Unfortunately some everyday English language confusion exists about this terminology demarcation that sometimes leads to expensive errors. For example, a service specialist (an electrical engineer) might be called upon to travel some way to examine a faulty "motor" - to find on arrival at the site that the so-called "motor", is in fact, a rather large diesel engine that he has no knowledge of, as its operating principles lie outside his area of specialisation.
An ordinary car (up to the present time: 2007) has a starter motor, a windscreen wiper motor, windscreen washer motor, a fuel pump motor and motors to adjust the wing mirrors from within the car and a (motorised) radio antenna - but the power plant that propels the car is an engine. Again an aircraft will have many motors installed for operation of its many auxiliary operations and services, but aircraft are propelled by engines, in this case, jet engines.
