Adventures in Missing the Point?
I think you need to sign up for a free membership or something. Pretty easy.
I liked the article, but have to confess that this is a typical mis-direct of what much of this whole Emergent thing is about: It is not that Jesus doesn't require something of you. It is that he requires your whole life, not just your 'spirituality' or your 'religious life'.
I was just a little bummed that many of the comments in the article made it sound as though Brian's saying that Jesus just wants to make you feel warm and fuzzy and get your needs met. The truth of the gospel of Jesus is summed in Jesus' own words, "Repent. The Kindgdom of Heaven is at hand."
Now, most of us hear the word repent and shreik or shiver, but what it is saying is re-imagine or return even. It is as if there was ultimate goodness at the beginning of time, and Jesus is saying he's come to set things in their proper place and his call to humanity is, "Be part of the problem or be part of the solution of bringing goodness and healing in this world."
I think that actually requires more than most religious folks give to Jesus. It means you write off no person. It means you value all life. It means you attempt to live out the dreams and hopes of God in this world. It means you cease to be an escapist. It means you become a part of the solution. It means you better get busy living... really living.
Okay, well those are some ramblings that will actually launch tomorrow's post, but that... for tomorrow. Ciao.

I agree with much of what you wrote about "repent." However, repent (in Jesus' words) was also followed with "leave your life of sin" (John 8, et al). There is a call to humanity to do those great things you talked about, but it isn't just about being a "right" human, it IS about actual sin as well. I believe truly "repentant" believers will be better humans because of their own failures/past sins. However, we are called to leave the life of sin. I believe someone can become a great human w/o truly "repenting" of sin, but in the end the world may be a better place because of his/her life, but eternity will be missing that person.
Looking forward to tomorrows post.

Whenever I see a picture of Brian McLaren, I feel like bowin, laying down a rose and saying "St. Brian." He is really doing a tremendous work.
I do wonder at the lack of direction in the emerging church as a whole, however... it's seems it's easy to know what they are not, but not what they are... I feel that a core issue is not understanding theosis as a part of the gospel is what keeps all Christian movements from realizing their potential.

Add article tags to Help Center Instant Search (autocomplete search) suggested articles
It would be great if the Help Center Instant Search (autocomplete search) could be improved.
- Our articles contain tags to cover synonyms for words. For example, we often use "reservation" and "booking" or "login" and "sign in"
- The article title could be "How to cancel your reservation in our extranet" or "How to login to our extranet"
- The Instant Search, now only brings up the articles if the user types "reservation", as that's in the title of the article. But doesn't bring up the article if the user types "booking"
Adding tags to the Instant Search, would solve this.
4 Comments
Ditto, it would be helpful to have a more "well-rounded" search as opposed to just a title-only search.
I agree this would be really helpful.
We do the same thing, looking for synonyms and adding them as labels to articles to help them appear in search, but as they don't seem to affect what shows up in the instant search our customers might naturally stop there assuming we don't have an article for them unless they see a title match. If they submit the search the articles show up, but people may have already given up by that point assuming we have nothing for them.
For example:
Instant search for 'app':
Submitted search for app:
This is really important for us as well - linked article:
+1 - an effective search is absolutely critical to a knowledge-centered support org. We shouldn't have to develop a custom type-ahead search to achieve this, it should just be smarter out-of-box.

Leroy N. Soetoro
The commander of 10 American sailors who were detained after entering
Irans territorial waters has been fired after the United States navy said
it had lost confidence in him.
Commander Eric Rasch was the executive commander of a squadron that
included the personnel who were briefly held after Januarys incident,
which embarrassed President Barack Obamas administration at a time when
it was in the process of implementing a deal over Irans nuclear
An internal inquiry concluded that his poor leadership contributed to the
incident that saw two armed navy vessels, known as riverine command boats,
straying into Iranian waters while sailing from Kuwait to Bahrain, the
site of the US navys 5th fleet.
The boats had stopped after one of them had suffered a mechanical failure
when they were approached by armed vessels from Irans Islamic
revolutionary guard corps and taken into custody.
The incident happened near Farsi Island, which has been used as a base for
the revolutionary guards speed boats since shortly after Irans 1979
Islamic revolution.
Although American officials said the boats had strayed due to a
navigational error, the incident raised tensions after Iran released
footage showing the sailors - nine men and one woman - kneeling with their
hands on their heads at gun point, an image clearly designed to embarrass
Tehran ultimately accepted the US explanation - aided by personal
diplomacy between John Kerry, the American secretary of state, and
Mohammad Javad Zarif, Irans foreign minister - and the personnel were
released after around 15 hours in captivity.
A subsequent naval inquiry into the incident found that Cmdr Rasch had
failed to provide effective leadership, leading to a lack of oversight,
complacency and failure to maintain standards in the unit, an unnamed
official told AP.
He had only been appointed to the command in April, after the incident
with Iran, but before the end of a preliminary investigation. He has since
been relieved of his command and reassigned.
The inquiry is expected to finish at the end of the month, with others
also expected to face disciplinary action.
The servicemen were seized hours before Mr Obama made his annual state of
the union address to the US congress. The president did not mention the
incident in his speech, an omission that was bitterly criticised by
US officials denied Iranian claims that they had apologised over the
incident, although Irans state TV broadcast footage of one of the
captured servicemen doing so. It was a mistake that was our fault and we
apologise for our mistake, he said.
The incident happened at a highly sensitive time, coming just days before
the lifting of international sanctions against Iran in exchange for it
agreeing to strict limitations on its nuclear facilities, following years
of exhaustive negotiations.
His Omnipotence Barack Hussein Obama, declared himself "Pooptator" of all
mentally ill homosexuals and crossdressers, while declaring where they
will defecate.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $19 trillion in the seven
years he has been in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United
States of America. The only American president to deliberately import a
lethal infectious disease from Africa, Ebola.
Loretta Fuddy, killed after she "verified" Obama's phony birth
Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.
Obama continues his muslim goal of disarming America while ObamaCare
increases insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.

Stars acquire conditional second-round pick for Eaves
Dallas will receive conditional pick from Anaheim in the 2017 NHL Draftby Dallas Stars Staff / Press Releases
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has acquired a conditional second-round selection in the 2017 NHL Draft in exchange for right wing Patrick Eaves . Based on draft position, Dallas will receive the middle pick of Ottawa, San Jose or Toronto's second-round selections in 2017 per the conditions in which Anaheim acquired the pick from Toronto in a previous trade. Should Anaheim advance to the third round of the postseason and Eaves plays in 50% or more of their games in the first two rounds, the selection becomes the Ducks first-round selection in the 2017 NHL Draft.
Eaves, 32, has recorded 37 points (21-16=37) in 59 games played this season. In three seasons with the Stars, he appeared in 160 regular season games posting 81 points (46-35=81).
The 6-foot, 200-pound native of Calgary, Alberta was signed as a free agent by Dallas on July 1, 2014.
Additionally, forward Adam Cracknell was placed on Injured Reserve retroactive to Feb. 18 with a lower body injury.

After the fall in yesterday's stage, it was in doubt if Sam Bennett is able to continue the Tour de France 2016. In the morning, the true Irish fighter decided together with the team doctor to give it a go.
"I'm very happy that there is nothing broken. I could sleep well und therefore it was possible to take on the stage with a protective bandage at the fingers. "- Sam Bennett
Immediately after the official start, it was once again Paul Voss in the polka dot jersey, who attacked to collect some more KOM points. After a few meters BORA – ARGON 18 teammate Cesare Benedetti with Jasper Stuyven (Trek Segafredo) and Vegard Breen (Fortuneo) were able to close on Paul, the quartet then increased its lead over the peloton very quickly to over 6 minutes.
Paul tried everything to defend his jersey today, but Stuyven and Breen were the ones to take the points. After Paul realised that he was not able to beat them in sprints, he tried to go on a solo like yesterday, but all his efforts were countered from either Stuyven or Breen.
For Cesare the fight ended in the first group 25k before the finish. Paul showed fighting spirit in a very difficult final. When rain and tailwind changed the game again, it looked like the remaining 3 leaders could battle for the stage win. But after Breen was dropped, also Paul was caught from the peloton with about 2k to go.
World Champion Peter Sagan of Team Tinkoff won the sprint in a superior way and he is now the new leader in the GC, so he will wear the yellow jersey on stage 3. Stuyven, who was just caught with 300m to go, is the new leader in the KOM classification.
Sam Bennett finished the stage in last place and will also be on the start line for tomorrow's third stage.
"Today I rode very offensive from the beginning and I tried everything. The chance was there that we get through to the finish, but probably it was at the point of 8k to go when we gambled to much. It's a shame but we tried everything. You have to try it as long as you can - now I need 2 days of rest in the peloton. "- Paul Voss
"In the last 40k it was really hard. My legs were still fresh and also the last kilometers should have suited me, but suddenly I got cramps. I rode together with Emu (Emanuel Buchman) to the finish then and I think we did just lose a few seconds." - Patrick Konrad

New 'smart' ETFs for investors
Several new exchange traded funds (ETFs) have recently been added, or will soon be added, to the range of these investments available to South Africans, among them three so-called "smart-beta" funds.
ETFs are collective investments that, unlike unit trust funds, are traded on the JSE, hence their name. An ETF tracks a market index by holding the assets represented in the index in the same proportions, thus delivering the performance of the index, known as "beta".
Smart-beta funds track indices designed to mitigate risk and enhance performance, and some of these indices mimic the styles of active fund managers, who focus on shares that exhibit certain characteristics. For example, value managers seek out shares that offer good value – in other words, the shares are selling at a price lower than their inherent value.
NewFunds, a wholly owned subsidiary of Absa that specialises in ETFs, is launching two new ETFs this week that, along with a third, make up its SA Equity Premia Range.
From a universe of the 60 most actively traded shares on the JSE, each ETF holds shares that exhibit a certain characteristic or "factor", according to a custom-made index. The three ETFs are:
• NewFunds Equity Momentum ETF: holds the 20 shares that have exhibited the greatest price appreciation over the past 12 months (excluding the most recent month);
• NewFunds Equity Low Volatility ETF: holds the 20 shares that exhibit the lowest volatility and are the least likely to respond to extreme market movements; and
• NewFunds Equity Value ETF: holds the 30 stocks that represent the best value, with the lowest price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios.
These three factors – momentum, volatility and value – have been shown over the long term to provide better performance than the market as a whole, at lower risk (see graph). Each factor goes through cycles of outperformance and under-performance, and the cycles of the different factors tend to be uncorrelated. Thus, says Absa, "adding them into portfolios that are well diversified should provide investors with returns in excess of the market over the long term."

With females at greater risk of the injury, how effective are prevention methods?
For years, the three most dreaded letters in sports were "A-C-L." Once simply known as 'tearing up your knee,' specifics of the injury became known by the general public in the late 1980s and ended or irrevocably altered hundreds of athletic careers.
But by the late 1990s and early 21st century, doctors and rehab professionals had made significant progress in hastening and improving recovery methods to the point that numerous athletes, such as San Francisco 49ers legend Jerry Rice were able to return from the injury in a reasonable amount of time and continue enjoying productive careers.
Today, ACL injuries are still serious and potentially career-altering—but they are no longer death sentences for an athletic career at any level. One problem persists, however—as more and more young girls become active in various sports, they do so with a much greater risk of tearing their anterior cruciate ligament—or ACL—than their male counterparts.
Depending on which resource you believe, female athletes are anywhere from three to six times more likely to sustain a (non-contact) ACL tear than a male athlete. But can anything be done to reduce the risk?
To be sure, there are some physiological differences between men and women that make the female gender more prone to non-contact tears. The two most important differences are:
- The groove in the femur known as the intracondylar notch, through which the ACL passes, is smaller in women, meaning the ligament itself is smaller and more prone to injury
- Women tend to have a more 'knock-kneed' alignment due to their wider hips, which causes their knees to bend inward when landing after jumping. If the knee buckles as a result, it places greater strain on the ACL to maintain its' stability
And there's only so much we can do about anatomy. Differences in training techniques and style of play, however, are within the control of coaches, trainers, physical therapists, and others.
Learn more:
This course defines an ACL injury, describes how an ACL injury is diagnosed, and provides an overview of the surgical procedure to repair an ACL tear. It also provides you with ACL injury prevention strategies and reviews the components of a typical rehabilitation plan for ACL repair. Take Course
A few key differences in technique include:
- Greater flexibility in the female knee can be a blessing and a curse; in this case, the problem starts when hyperextensions occurs, placing undue stress on the surrounding tendons and ligaments
- The upper leg and trunk muscles tend to be larger and stronger in males, and this disparity causes the knee to absorb more of the stress from a landing or change in direction in a female athlete when compared to a male
- Women tend to run in a more upright position than men, again increasing the stress placed upon the knee
Physical therapists and other professionals have conducted numerous studies over the past decade or so to determine the most effective methods of injury prevention for the vulnerable female ACL. One of the first such studies yielded the Prevent Injury, Enhance Performance (PEP) program, and was designed by physical therapists at Santa Monica Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Group.
Using Division 1 soccer players as test subjects, the almost 1,500 athletes who participated in the PEP program had an ACL injury rate 41 percent lower than their counterparts who completed their normal warmup. The PEP program, consists of sport-specific agility exercises to address potential deficits in the strength and neuromuscular coordination of the stabilizing muscles around the knee joint.
"The program was created to address the deficits that are seen in female athletes, particularly weakness in the lateral hip muscles, gluteal, and core muscles," said Holly Silvers, MPT, who helped to develop the program at the time.
Interestingly, when applies to even younger athletes (14–18 years of age) across a two-year period, the group completing the PEP program saw an astounding 88 percent reduction in ACL injuries in year one and a still-impressive 74 percent reduction in year two. A presentation offered by a group of physical therapists at the 2016 Combined Sections Meeting in Anaheim, CA, took a thorough look at the research to that point and concluded that of the numerous interventions and studies performed, the PEP program was 'most effective in reducing ACL injuries.'
So what is the PEP Program? First of all, it's a soccer-oriented program designed specifically to reduce the incidence of injuries in soccer. That doesn't mean it can't have some benefits to athletes participating in other sports, but the design was conducted with soccer specifically in mind. The program takes about 15–20 minutes to complete each session, can be performed right on the field, and is an advisable replacement for a conventional warm-up routine.
Overall, there are 20 PEP exercises, and they are separated into five categories:
- Avoidance
- Flexibility
- Strengthening
- Plyometrics
- Agilities
In addition, there are four "cool-down" exercises that are optional for performance at the end of a session before players go home.
Optimally, the program is performed 2–3 times per week, and is not recommended for athletes under the age of 12.
It's important that exercises are performed in the order exhibited here.
Changing a female athlete's physiological makeup or eradicating the propensity for increased ACL injuries is simply not an attainable goal. But with specialized, specific, and dedicated training, female athletes can greatly reduce their exposure to ACL injuries and enjoy productive, uninterrupted experiences or careers in high-level athletics.

Peter Rhodes on big girl's blouses, a princely row and a very curious object
Read today's column from Peter Rhodes.
Beer, Devon.
CUT this out and keep it. According to the Sunday Times, weather researchers at University College London reckon we may be heading for the coldest winter in 30 years. And the winner of the Grand National will be . . . .
ACCORDING to a Palace source, a furious row between the Duke of York and an aide involved a work-related issue and "the Duke got very cross that what he wanted wasn't possible." So what might that be? A time machine?
THE D-Day spirit lives on down here in Devon. From hundreds of miles away, like landing craft storming the beaches of Normandy, the boys of the old brigade converge on the south coast. At the helm of every towing vehicle on the motorway is a chap with hair as white as his caravan, hunched over the steering wheel, nose almost touching the windscreen (why do old people drive like that?). Anyway, as the caravans arrived, so did the rain. It's traditional.
WE found an excellent B&B in the middle of Beer. Free parking, perfect fried bread and a proper bathroom basin with proper taps, not those damn silly mixers you bang your head on. Memo to hoteliers everywhere: First, get the little things right.
IN an antique shop down here is a large object marked "not for sale." So why bring it to the shop if you don't want to sell it? Realistically, how many people would ever want to buy such a thing? And on the million-to-one offchance of somebody wanting to buy it, wouldn't the wisest thing be to sell it, grab the money and be thankful? It is a euphonium case.
MEANWHILE, researchers at Oxford have found an unexpected link between eating chicken and four types of cancer. One theory is that the risk may be increased by certain methods of preparing the chicken, including frying. That figures. There is a sort of gastronomic sod's law which dictates that the better the food tastes, the worse it is for you.
AMONG all his other troubles, Boris Johnson has been denounced for sexist language in calling Jeremy Corbyn a "big girl's blouse." This apparently causes deep offence in the sisterhood and reinforces the appalling global patriarchal-hegemony thingy that we are all supposed to worry so much about. But hold on one moment. "Big girl's blouse" was a catchphrase of Hylda Baker, in character as Nellie Pledge in the ITV sitcom Nearest and Dearest. It was a woman's term, used to ridicule weak and ineffectual men. Ban this phrase, ladies, and you rob other women of a powerful put-down. What's more, "big girl's blouse" is essentially a Northern expression. How dare the Londoncentric feminist elite tinker with the time-hallowed metaphors of Barnsley, Leeds and all points north? Those who oppose "big girl's blouse" are guilty of sexism and blatant regionalism. Isn't this fun, chuck?
WHICH reminds me. In the fruit shop the other day the lady in charge addressed me as "my beautiful." That's a first.

Nigel Slater was brought up in the fifties as a shy single boy in a middle class family. His father was the manager of a small factory and constantly irritable. His mother was seriously ill with a lung complaint. Nigel was lonely; his interest in food developed because he was hungry for some variety in his diet; hungry for affection. His mother couldn't cook. When in doubt, as was frequent, she made toast.
On the night, she died, his father couldn't tell him. Later Mrs Potter (Joan) entered their lives as a cleaner. She was brassy, canny and efficient, seduced Nigel's father by the way she looked at him as she polished the brasses and how she wiggled her bottom as she dusted under the dresser. She made housework irresistibly erotic. And she was a wonderful cook. Her steak and kidney pudding was a work of art; her lemon meringue pie sheer sensuous delight.
She caused quite a stir when Mr Slater took her to the Masonic Lodge dinner. The ladies looked askance with grudging admiration. 'She may be as common as muck but she certainly knows her cleaning fluids.' Smitten, Mr Slater proposes and buys a house for them all in the country. Nigel is very unhappy and competes with Joan for his father's attention by learning how to cook, but Joan undermines him by forgetting the afternoons he returned home with a meal. One afternoon, Nigel returns to find that his father had died mowing the lawn. Joan announces, 'it's just us now, kid,' but Nigel has other ideas. He walks out of her life into the kitchen of the Savoy.
This film emphasised the traumas that could befall teenagers when parents transgress family taboos. Nigel, traumatised by grief for his mother, could not tolerate his father's new found sexual interest in Mrs Potter and resented her intrusion into his father's life. He felt excluded, rejected from my own family, betrayed by the one he should be able to trust. He was a prisoner in his own home, yet he could not leave while his father was alive. Home life not only has to be boring enough to want to leave it but stable enough to be able to. To leave home, teenagers must neither need nor care for their parents. Nigel could only do that after they had both died. He became a wonderful chef and food writer, but kept the idealised view of home alive in his writing and cooking.
The film made me think about Stephen, my stepbrother. His father, Ron, fought a successful campaign for custody after divorcing Margaret, only to put him his the care of first his own parents and then my mother, Doris, who had divorced Wallace to be with Ron. But Doris resented his presence; 'I've got one chance of happiness and I'm not having it spoilt by that little brat.' Stephen and I weren't close; we never really lived together. Mum had already left me in Taunton to board at school and then I got a sequence of live in jobs before going to university. I didn't really see Ron's house as home; we'd already left home two years previously. But Stephen must have been very unhappy. He wrote me an letter after Ron died, disappointed and angry that he was never mentioned in the will. Stephen came out in his late teens, about the same time Nigel acknowledged he was gay.
Lee Hall's rewriting of Nigel Slater's book, Toast, the story of a hungry teenager, was screened on BBC1 on December 30th. Helena Bonham Carter was so sexy as Mrs Potter and yet last week she was also perfect as the dutiful consort in the King's Speech. Nigel's stepsisters were upset by the portrayal of their mother, which they considered inaccurate. This week, Agnatha von Trapp, the last surviving von Trapp sister, died. She had reputedly never got over the fact that her father, Captain von Trapp, was depicted as a strict martinet in The Sound of Music.

Leaving presentations
Load of cunt. Leaving lunch, leaving drinks, leaving presents (bit racey).
You're leaving, you're dead to me. Stop taking up my time and money.
I want to leave...
Please populate this thread with 200+ hilarious and or touching leaving presentation anecdotes whilst I attend the fucking presentation.
I might demand my underling(s) give me a leaving presentation
at 4:55 every day. Vouchers will be fine.
you have underlings?
unless you're talking about your testicles. Are you talking about your testicles?
I want to leave my job
But I can't face the awkwardness of a pointless shitty leaving do. They deliberately make them this shit to avoid you handing in your notice I tells ya.
I like the idea of spending 5 days a week of the rest of your life with a bunch of people
just because you can't face spending one evening with them.
When I left Barclays
I got a 2 hour lunch break in which time I was bought 5 pints of Guinness, spent 2 hours in the pub post work in which time I was bought another 5 pints of Guinness and then had to get the train, utterly bladdered from Watford, through London, to Reading, carrying 2 boxes of Guinness that I'd been given as a leaving present.
What is a Leaving Presentation?
Someone where I work did their leaving presentation a few weeks ago...
...and couldn't speak because she was crying so much. She couldn't get any words out through the tears.
Mental. Just... mental.
- thewarn this'd this
got an ipod nano
and made a huge leaving speech at my last job
i too am cringing at the thought of leaving this place (which i need to) and having a leaving presentation.
Got one tommorow for one of my bosses, will be awkward
The guy giving the speech, without irony, said
I hope you appreciate that.
I worked in a brewery once
(well, in the IT Department anyway). There was a free bar. When the contract came to an end I was gutted to leave, but this was assuaged more than somewhat by being presented with a Bomardier T-shirt (which I am in fact wearing right now) and 48 bottles of beer including the quite hard-to-find Modelo Negra.
Sigh ...
somebody organised a pissup in a brewery?
good for them. I've heard its quite hard
I had one in my last job
Had to speak in front of the whole company, who had all slowly gathered around my desk.
Right, you momos.
No more posting until someone tells me what a leaving presentation is.
a PowerPoint of your 'best bits'
with lots of photos of your own face whooshing in from the side and rotatingWhiteCollarBoy this'd this
Are you joking.
I've been to hundreds.
When someone leaves the company everyone gathers round their desk, their boss makes a speech, they make a speech, thry get a card and a present, you stand around while it's opened then you fuck off back to your desk.
But this is all news to me.
I get the concept (and I've come across 'leaving do's'), but the idea that they're made into 'a thing' is kinda news to me.
Apart fromy stints in petrol stations and a factory they have been a staple of my working life.
Only been to one retiring one though. What happens to those guys? Catch a bullet in their last week?
We've had a few retirees here over the last couple of months:
they all tell everyone their official leaving date, then at the last moment take off the two weeks as leave before as well, wrongfooting everyone, so they don't have to put up with leaving presentation bullshit.
Wise old coots.
Cream coot
Marmalade Moorhen
It's true!
I'll never make that mistake again.
I did one once
I had this massive massive pile of printed letters on my desk, and I was planning all morning for the moment when I was asked to say a few words - the big joke was to pick up this massive pile as if it was a speech and say: Not very good at speaking of the cuff, so I just prepared a few words. Fucking hilarious.
Instead I just stood up, opened my mouth, and dropped the pile, letters scattered all over the place, 70 people pissed themselves. I opened the card said thanks and left the company.
Not strictly a leaving presentation, actually a maternity leave presentation
but for a week leading up to the presentation a colleague had been telling people that he had a special song to sing to the leaver. Come the day, after the presents and flowers had been handed over he was given the floor.
His song was about the Greek financial crisis.
see, it's this kinda talk that's foxing me.

We want to reward ambassadors who spread the word about AXEL.
Interest in our project is white-hot right now. We've been mentioned in CoinAnnouncer, BitcoinExchangeGuide, and CCN… just to name a few. More subscribers are joining us every day on Telegram, Reddit, and Medium.
So to celebrate, and in response to about 100+ questions about it, we're pulling back the curtain on our AirDrop.
By the way – it's BIG.
Details Of The AirDrop:
1) Add your email and Ethereum wallet address to the list: +500 AXEL Tokens
2) (Optional) Join our Telegram Channel: +100 AXEL Tokens
3) (Optional) Join the AXEL Subreddit: +100 AXEL Tokens

Get 1,300 AXEL Tokens In Under 5 Minutes.
That's how long it takes to do options 1-5.
Seriously, we've checked.
Even if you don't refer anyone, you can get thousands of tokens by signing up to the AirDrop, our social channels, and our app.
All Tokens will be sent directly to your Ethereum wallet once the first phase of the AirDrop is completed.
Everything for you is 100% free. We pay the gas charge for the transfer of those tokens into your wallet.
What Is AXEL?
Third party corporations increasingly control YOUR data. AXEL is providing the tools that give you a choice with what you can do with your files and information.
Specifically, we're building a decentralized content exchange where ANYONE can sell and buy files with the utmost ease – all without spending a cent on start-up and without giving all their money away to middlemen.
We've been pursuing our vision of personal data ownership since 2012. Today, millions of people utilize our AXEL platform across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. With 100+ veteran team members and numerous patents on our technology, we're building the AXEL Token and Exchange as the next evolution of our mission.
We are in this for the long haul.
What Will The Token Be Used For?
The AXEL Token will allow you to do some pretty cool features in our app. For instance, it'll eventually let you use Privacy Share, which will turn any file transaction effectively "invisible."
In the future, we also plan to allow people to trade AXEL Tokens for videos, music, pictures, documents, games, programs – whatever it is you want to buy and other people want to sell. And on any other DApps people decide to create on our Exchange.
Our planned native AXEL Blockchain will also work alongside everything to facilitate near-instantaneous transactions and lower costs – without any compromises in user privacy.

EU leaders have agreed to begin accession talks with Serbia by early 2014. The announcement came during their two-day summit in Brussels, which focused strongly on curbing record youth unemployment across the EU.
On the second day of the summit, officials approved of Serbia's efforts toward member status.
EU President Herman Van Rompuy (right in photo) posted on Twitter that the summit had "decided to open accession negotiations with Serbia."
"Police stations have gone, blockades have gone, people are able to arrive at the customs gate without any problem at all," EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton (left) had said Thursday. "I believe this process is irreversible, but it still needs to be helped, and I hope that the (summit) will make a good and strong decision."
In an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt, Martin Schulz, the center-left president of the European Parliament, which has to approve EU enlargement decisions, warned against unrealistic expectations. Schulz told the newspaper that, "in the foreseeable future," he did not expect any new accessions other than Croatia, set to join on July 1, pointing to "enlargement fatigue" and institutional weaknesses.
Unemployment funds
The EU's 27 member states also agreed on Thursday to promote lending to struggling small businesses in crisis-hit Southern Europe, where youth unemployment has risen well above 50 percent in some countries.
European Council President Hermann Van Rompuy said that the 6 billion euros ($7.8 billion), which will directly target youth unemployment, could rise to 8 billion by scavenging other budget areas for spare money. Across the EU, some 5.6 million people under 25 are without jobs.
Some call the 6 billion euros pledged toward youth unemployment insufficient.
In the past week, Brussels also reached a 960 billion euro ($1.25 trillion) budget deal for 2014-2020 for everything from agriculture to development aid. The European Parliament still has to approve the member states' agreement. It will be the first time that the bloc's legislature has voted on a budget, after a treaty change in 2007 gave it more authority over fiscal policy.

Sunbrella® Sling is a solution-dyed acrylic and PVC blend furniture fabric from Glen Raven's Sunbrella Sling Collection. Sunbrella acrylic yarns are added to a vinyl construction resulting in a comfortable and soft reinforced fabric that is durable and can support the weight of an occupant when used in a sling chair application. It combines the durability and strength of vinyl with the softness, great color selections, and UV resistance of Sunbrella acrylic. Perfect for use in patio applications and by the pool, Sunbrella Sling is suitable for all weather and it is chlorine and chemical resistant This unique mesh is very easy to clean: requiring just a good rinse from the garden hose and a quick air dry. Sunbrella Sling is also easy to sew, making it a great material to work with.
Sunbrella Sling Fabric is designed for outdoor use but can also be used indoors for roller shade applications. There is an intended right and wrong side to this furniture fabric based purely on the design of the weave, but both sides are equally weather and chemical resistant.
Care & Cleaning: One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella Sling fabrics looking great, as well as delaying the need for deep cleaning, is to simply rinse regularly with clear water to help prevent dirt from becoming deeply embedded in the fabric.
For a deep cleaning, simply brush away loose dirt, rinse with clear water, and clean with a mild, lukewarm soapy solution. Rinse again with clear water thoroughly and allow to air-dry.
Pro Tip: The construction of this fabric requires a double hem to stabilize the weave when used for sling furniture applications.

We also feature nation wide award winning competition teams in dance and gymnastics!
Our class sizes are intentionally smaller, allowing for a more personal approach to teaching. We focus on technique and skills, in a fun learning environment.

PAYMENT POLICY: In the past we have had students paying late, withdrawing from classes without informing us (thereby not giving us an opportunity to open the class to a new student), or choosing not to pay at all. Like any business we have rent, instructors and bills to pay. Therefore, we require that you provide us with a credit card number. If we have not received a tuition installment payment by five days after its due date, we will charge your outstanding balance to your credit card. This will not be required if the semester tuition and any registration fee (non-refundable) is paid in full at the time of registration.
PLEASE NOTE: Please text or email George (270)392-0328], firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have any questions or concerns, or would like to make other arrangements.

For instance, if you take a Level 3 Dance Mix Class (priced at $270), and you add Level 2 Gymnastics (priced at $250), you pay only $125 for the second class. PLEASE NOTE: The discounted class will be the lower priced of the two classes.SIBLING DISCOUNTS: Add a sibling and save approximately 20%. When paying full price for one student, a sibling may take a class at approximately 20% off. PLEASE NOTE: The discounted class will be the lower priced of the two classes.

Nation improvements are structures and improvements that you can purchase to further mold your nation into your own choosing. Nation improvements are quite expensive but the benefit is that they are not subject to outside forces. Unlike regular infrastructure in war, improvements cannot be destroyed by other nations. Improvements are stackable, so purchasing two banks (for example) will increase your population income +14%. There is an improvement tax that you must pay along with your other bills that goes up as you buy more improvements. The initial tax is $500 per improvement. You may only purchase one improvement per 1000 working citizens. Nations are limited to 5 per type of improvement unless otherwise specified. If you do not meet all the requirements for an improvement you will not see that improvement on the improvement purchase screen. You can destroy an improvement in the improvement purchase screen.
List of Improvements Edit
|Increases population income +7%.
|Increases soldier efficiency +10%, reduces soldier upkeep cost -10%.
|Border Walls
|Decreases citizen count -2%, increases population happiness +2, Improves environment +1.
|Increases population happiness +1.
|Increases population count by 2%. Purchasing 2 or more clinics allows you to purchase a hospital.
|Allows nations to build navy Corvettes, Battleships, Cruisers, and Destroyers. Increases the number of each of these types of ships that a nation can support +1. This improvement may not be destroyed if it is supporting navy vessels until those navy vessels are first destroyed. Requires Harbor.
|Decreases cost of missiles -5%, decreases tank cost -10%, reduces initial infrastructure purchase cost -8%.
|Foreign Ministry
|Increases population income by 5%. Opens +1 extra foreign aid slot. Limit one foreign ministry per nation.
|Guerrilla Camp
|Increases soldier efficiency +35%, reduces soldier upkeep cost -10%, reduces citizen income -8%.
|Increases population income by 1%. Opens +1 extra trade slot. Limit one harbor per nation.
|Increases population count by 6%. Need 2 clinics to purchase a hospital. Limit 1 hospital per nation.
|Intelligence Agency
|Increases population happiness for tax rates greater than 23% +1. Each Intelligence Agency allows you to buy +100 spies.
|Labor Camp
|Reduces infrastructure upkeep costs -10%, reduces population happiness -1.
|Missile Defense
|Reduces effectiveness of incoming cruise missiles used against your nation -10%.
|Naval Academy
|Increases both attacking and defending all navy vessel strength +1. Limit 2 per nation. Requires Harbor.
|Naval Construction Yard
|Increases the daily purchase limit for navy vessels +1. Limit 3 per nation. Requires Harbor.
|Police Headquarters
|Increases population happiness +2.
|Increases effectiveness of cruise missiles used by your nation +10%.
|Increases population income by 5%, increases literacy rate +1%. Purchasing 3 or more schools allows you to purchase universities.
|Allows nations to build navy Landing Ships, Frigates, Submarines, and Aircraft Carriers. Increases the number of each of these types of ships that a nation can support +1. This improvement may not be destroyed if it is supporting navy vessels until those navy vessels are first destroyed. Requires Harbor.
|Increases population happiness + 3.
|Increases population income by 8%, reduces technology cost -10%, increases literacy rate +3%. 3 schools must be purchased before any universities can be bought. Limit two universities per nation.
When you destroy an improvement, you will not be refunded the original costs of this item and you will no longer need to pay taxes on it. Also, you can destroy an improvement and build another one.
Note: If you purchase a hospital you will not be able to destroy your clinics until you destroy your hospital first. If you purchase a university you will not be able to destroy your schools until you destroy your university first.
FAQ Edit
Is it possible to purchase more than one university, since you need three schools for each university and the building limit is five?
- Yes you can purchase 2 universities. After you buy three schools you can then purchase both universities. You don't need three schools per university.
If I purchase an improvement and then later lose a portion of my population, will I still be able to keep the improvement?
- Yes, it's possible to lose population in a number of ways which would put you under the 1,000 people per improvement limit. You still get to keep the improvements you already purchased. However, should you delete the improvement, you may not purchase it or another improvement again until you raise above the limit again.
How do Factories stack?
- Factories stack additively, with the factor being "Cost * (1-(Number of Factories)(0.08))"
How do intelligence agencies stack? What are their influence on spies apart from the limit increase?
- Intelligence agencies increase happiness +1 and stack like any other improvement, when your tax rate is greater than 23%. The only effect they have on spies is to increase the amount you can buy.
How do clinics stack?
- Clinics stack additively, with the factor being "Citizens * (1+(Number of clinics)(0.02))"
Is there a limit to the number of banks you can purchase?
- As with most improvements, the maximum number of banks is 5, so you can get a total of +35% population income.
How many improvements are there total?
- 90
Why can only one border wall be built at a time?
- To prevent players from building more border walls than the population would be able to support after the population drop from each (i.e. a player with 5 free improvements slots used to be able to buy 5 at once, but when bought individually that same player might only be able to build 3).

Some differences I see now are:
- The Italians are doing what I'm used to seeing, straight comb (even on a foundation-less frame), no burr comb between frames/on top of frames.
- The Italians are only storing nectar and pollen in the 2nd medium.
- The Carniolans have brood in the 2nd medium.
- The Carniolans will be leaving the hive when it is cooler outside, I've seen Carniolans leaving/coming into the hive while there is no activity on the Italian hive.
- The Carniolans are drawing burr comb on the tops of the frames and even between the frames. This makes it a bit of a mess.
It will be interesting to see how they progress.

New Stuff and Inspiration
This is F***ing Great (Because Their Blades are F***ing Great).
Hey, it's Friday, and we all love a little laughter to start the weekend. So watch this, and enjoy the humor- we sure did! Great work for Dollar Shave Club.
Manning Face.
With the interwebs all a-twitter about Peyton Manning and his potential new teams, this would be a good time to show some humorous redesigns for NFL logos. If you've not seen Manning Face, then that is where you should start. Much ado has been made about a certain closed mouth look that Peyton and Eli commonly strike, appearing in deep perplexed contemplation, as pictured above.
An internet blogger, who has both his own blog and posts regularly on Something Awful, reworked all the NFL logos to include Manning Face. While the logos are somewhat crudely redone, they are still quite funny. You can see the whole lot of them here, but here's a few of our favorites:
The way the internet should be
Pretty humorous spots for CLEAR, a 4G internet provider that features no long-term contracts, no data limits and flexible-pricing plans. Gotta love a male tramp stamp featured into anything.
Wolf shirt, eat your heart out.
We saw the popularity of the Wolf Shirt grow exponentially amongst hipsters in the last few years. Now we're guessing the massive-3d-looking-dog-head-on-your-chest shirt will suddenly be all the hipster rage. Can't wait to see these things in person.
Dunton Hot Springs, oogled.
Sukleites love Colorado. It's why we live here. We get inspired by our surroundings and channel that into great creative. And the mountains and streams just to our west are about as inspiring as it gets. And right now we're oogling Dunton Hot Springs. There's all sorts of activities for day time playing, and a chef painstakingly searching out local, organic foods to prepare feasts tailored to your tastes, and it's all included in the nightly rate.
We're hoping that Mike will rent cabins for us all and call it an "inspiration getaway." Even if he doesn't, this place looks really swell. It's not cheap, but hey, can you put a price on recharging the batteries. (Apparently, yes, check out the cost to rent the entire place out- WOW.)
Super Ugly doodles on his guest checks
What happens when you're an artist and you have to wait tables to make ends meet? You doodle on your guest checks. We thought these were pretty sweet. Apparently the artist who goes by "Super Ugly" started using his free time on the job to doodle on guest checks, and it caught on with his pals.Talk about taking inspiration from your life and transforming it into creative messaging. Love the clever use of the medium on some of these. Above are few examples, and you can see more in the Huffington Post article here.
Deschutes Green Lakes Organic Ale
Well, it's Friday. And you know that that means? Time for us to enjoy a cold beverage to end the week and to give it a review. Being the homebrew nerds that we are, we love trying new beers. This one's not completely new to us, but our pub next door has recently put it on tap, so we found it fitting to give 'er the review spotlight this week.
Firstly, being organic is always a plus for us. The less chemicals in our beer, the better. When you pour the beer you'll get a decent sized creamy white head, although the retention is not the greatest ever. It pours nice and clear, with a nice faint piney aroma. It has a sweet taste on the front end, then a decent bitter hit on the back end. And, for an amber ale, it's got a surprising hoppyness. Typically not an amber ale fan, I actually liked this beer, as it's flavors were much more complex than that of an average amber.
Ok, folks, it's Friday. Go out and have a beer. And when you do, try one of these Green Lakes.
The Heist
People that shop at Goodwill already know this – you can get awesomely cool stuff for next to nothing. We're talking name brand, never used or barely used stuff. We captured the feeling of finding something special at Goodwill with this stylish new spot.
Growing ideas at Sukle
Thought this video was a good illustration of the title.
Time lapse footage of the earth- it's Sukle in space.
Mike went up with Sir Richard Branson this weekend and did a few rotations around the planet. These are his home videos, time lapsed, of the earth at night from space. Pretty cool what you can do with a D-SLR, huh?
Actually these are shot from the International Space Station. But we like to think Mike spends his free time in space.
Here's the explantation from the Astronomy Picture Of The Day section of the NASA site: "Explanation: Many wonders are visible when flying over the Earth at night. A compilation of such visual spectacles was captured recently from the International Space Station (ISS) and set to rousing music. Passing below are white clouds, orange city lights, lightning flashes in thunderstorms, and dark blue seas. On the horizon is the golden haze of Earth's thin atmosphere, frequently decorated by dancing auroras as the video progresses. The green parts of auroras typically remain below the space station, but the station flies right through the red and purple auroral peaks. Solar panels of the ISS are seen around the frame edges. The ominous wave of approaching brightness at the end of each sequence is just the dawn of the sunlit half of Earth, a dawn that occurs every 90 minutes."

The research staff here can barely keep up with the pace at which State of the Art readers correctly answer our questions. Maybe this week we can slow you down.
If you were reading the blog this week, you learned about an American photographer who was using a very difficult process to create early color images. In fact, the process he was using was the first successful color photographic process. So here are our questions:
- Who was the American photographer?
- What were the early color photographs called?
- Who invented the process? (Hint: Their picture is seen here.)
- When were these types of images first marketed?
Have a nice Memorial Day weekend. We'll be checking in from the beach to see who solves this week's quiz.

Protecting Your Investment
Once you've installed new TPO or PVC roofing on your commercial building, it's essential that you keep up with regular maintenance and cleaning in order that your investment and the protection it provides will last you for as long as possible. Learn a few reasons why upkeep is so essential and how to properly clean your commercial roof.
Advantages of Routine Roof Cleaning
Reasons to create a cleaning schedule for roofing include:
- Keeping harmful chemical toxins from building on your roof where they can potentially lead to compromised performance life and harm to the membrane
- Ensuring the roofing surface remains pristine in order that it can reflect as much sunlight as possible, which is essential for energy efficiency
- Making sure your TPO or PVC roof doesn't have a source of food for pests, which can lead to nesting
- Avoiding the growth of plant life, which is due to a buildup of nutrient-rich debris and dirt
Proper Cleaning Techniques
Now that you know a bit more about why it's so essential that you provide commercial roofing with some occasional TLC, learn how to clean it the right way for maximum performance and functionality. Be sure all water entry points, such as base flashings and low clearance curbs, are protected before using a pressure washer on your property. Speaking of pressure washers, it's best that you take care of dirt and dust on your roof with a low-pressure washer. You'll also want to take measures to protect your shrubs and plants while cleaning, as the household detergent you use as a solution can harm them.
As you're scrubbing at your PVC or TPO roofing membrane, you'll only want to use a long-handled brush with bristles that are easy on surfaces. Go easy on the top of the membrane, as vigorous scrubbing can lead to unintentional damage. Once you've finished scrubbing and cleaning at your roofing, be thorough as you pressure wash it off, making sure all of the cleaning solution is sprayed off.
While you now have a better idea of how to clean your TPO or PVC roof, it's still best to leave the job to a professional. Doing so ensures the absolute best results and may extend the life expectancy of your roof.
If it's been a while since you have cleaned the top of your commercial property, schedule a professional cleaning with our experts at Restructure at (214) 234-2596. A little time and money now can save a lot later on.

I love using the Simply Stars stamps to create a fun and bright card. Perfect for kids! This card was made for a friends daughters birthday. Kept it simple and just chose a range of pink and purple inks to create the card!
Added some gems for the sparkle and added dimension for the main star with the sentiment tucked underneath.
Happy crafting!
