Gary Wilkerson
When we're going through hardship, it becomes very easy to believe that we've lost God's favor or that he's punishing us. Gary Wilkerson talks about how God gives us his favor in the midst of our struggles, and he identifies a couple areas where we can consistently see God's blessings.Download MP3 Download MP4
David Wilkerson (1931-2011)
David Wilkerson delivers an Easter message on the power of Jesus' blood. The Son's mighty atoning sacrifice not only wipes away all of our sins and makes us clean but also gives us an eternal hope because now we are justified and will be able to stand before God's throne. Christ gives us peace and joy as we look forward to heaven, and that great gift should be one that we desperately desire for others to know too.Download MP3 Download MP4
Gary Wilkerson
Gary Wilkerson examines Job's cry to God and God's response. God points out the overwhelming behemoth and leviathan that Job could've never overcome on his own and then points Job to his own authority and power in the world.
If we attempt to take on demonic powers without God's authority, it's a struggle we'll never forget. However, we are called to be Davids with Goliaths. We are called to do battle against evil and chaos as the children of God. That can be deeply frightening, but the Bible says over and over, "Don't be afraid."
Where there is chaos, you are called to bring order as a child of God. Gary talks about how we walk this out without becoming overwhelmed.
Gary Wilkerson
Many of us have been wounded. The Bible has promised us freedom, but often it feels like we're still held back by scars. Pastor Gary Wilkerson talks about how God uses truth to set us free from the damage in our past, but how God also allows the snake to be in our garden. The automatic question is "Why? Why would God allow there to be a snake in our lives that tempts or wounds us?" There are four major "snakes" in our lives:
1. Fear or anxiety
2. Rejection
3. Isolation
4. Shame or self-loathing
The Bible's most common command is "Fear not" even in the face of great challenges. God wants to show us the strength his Holy Spirit has within us to make us more than conquerors.
Carter Conlon
God's people are meant to be a light and blessing to the world. Even the darkest, most entrenched parts of society can be overcome by faith as small as mustard seed. All God needed to overturn pervasive culture in the book of Acts was 120 common, ordinary people who were willing to let their hearts be overcome by the Holy Spirit. In this passionate exhortation, Pastor Carter reminds Christians that we are called to live for the benefit of others.Download MP3 Download MP4
Gary Wilkerson
How many of us feel disappointed in ourselves or like a disappointment to our friends, family or even God? Often, we say terrible things about ourselves that we would never say to another person.
Feeling as if we should have accomplished more, traveled to more places or made different choices in our past can become a terrible weight on the soul. Even if we do achieve our greatest dreams, they almost always feel hollow once they're in our hands. We fall prey to the enemy's lies rather than trusting what God says.

It has been quite a week at the Montgomery Waters Meadow stadium. On Tuesday morning Shrewsbury Town's squad trained on the pitch and gave interviews before Sunday's League One play-off final with Rotherham. By the afternoon the city's mayor was in situ, present to open a new section of the Salop Leisure South Stand. These 550 new rail seats were special, too; they formed the first safe standing section in an English football ground.
"It's been a very busy week to be honest with you," says Brian Caldwell, the club's chief executive. "We've got ticketing ongoing, we've got arrangements for Sunday ongoing and, obviously, safe standing is finished and ready to go. This year we've now created a safe standing area, finished third in the league and got to a play-off final and the Checkatrade final. We've had a successful season on and off the park and I think we take great pride in where we've come from."
Safe standing is an issue long championed by supporters' groups but is only now gaining traction with those who run the game. For those who back the idea, safe standing is a misnomer; standing is not unsafe in and of itself, they say. In fact, it is a phrase that came into being thanks to Manchester City fans who wanted Standing Areas For Eastlands (the initial name of the stadium now known as the Etihad). Now SAFE standing is here and Shropshire got there first. It remains, however, illegal at grounds in the Premier League and Championship. The fact that the club will have to scrap it in three years if they get promoted is only a small cloud on the horizon.
Shrewsbury's plan has been 18 months in gestation and a work of grand collaboration. The process was initiated by the club's supporters' parliament, channelling the dissatisfaction of some Salop fans who missed the terraces of the old Gay Meadow, lost when the club moved to their all-seat venue in 2007. "A number of fans didn't want to go in the first place, others missed the atmosphere," says Roger Groves, the joint chair of the parliament and the man generally credited with having the first brainwave. "We spoke with Jon Darch and thought this could work for us."
Darch is the evangelist of safe standing. He says he is "someone who hates things that are illogical" and that denying fans the choice to stand at football grounds is one such thing. For the past decade he has devoted his life to the subject, driving a van fitted with a small sample of rail seating up and down the country. He is at the launch, in aviator shades and a fawn shirt looking like a lower-ranking member of the Corleone family. "It's backbreaking stuff, I can tell you," he says of his passion.
Darch had been commissioned by the Football Supporters' Federation to research safe standing in 2011. Through friends in Hanover he learned how it had been applied in Germany. He then got in touch with the company, Ferco, which installed the rail seating. It turned out it was British. Not only that, it was based in Shrewsbury. This was information that was of interest to Groves' campaign.
"It's been a supporter-led initiative from day one," says Caldwell. "I was keen to listen to it, look at it and then to get involved." With the club covering a third of the £75,000 cost, and another £10,000 raised from the gambling company Fansbet, the majority of the funding came from fans via the crowdfunding platform Tifosy. "I think this was something the supporters felt they wanted," says Caldwell. "It's groundbreaking, it's pioneering, it puts Shrewsbury on the map and we've worked really hard to make sure we get it right."
The seats were installed by Ferco, which also built the safe standing section at Celtic Park. Rail seating describes a metal seat that can be folded upright to stand practically flat against the row behind it. Above it there is a rail at chest height. This element adds safety, preventing people from falling from one row to another. The seats at Shrewsbury are unlikely to be used during matches but could be during other events, such as when Lionel Richie visits the New Meadow this summer.
Ferco says it has received inquiries from at least half the clubs in the Premier League about rail seating. West Bromwich Albion, recently relegated, were one of those clubs but their application to trial a safe standing area in the Premier League was rejected by the sports minister, Tracey Crouch. There is growing pressure on her to change her mind, not least from the EFL. If Shrewsbury do get promoted to the Championship, and then stay there, they would currently have to tear out their rail seating after a three-year transition.
Few celebrating the new section this week think that will happen. "Every club that's building a new stadium is asking its architects to plan for rail seating," says Darch, "People can see that it's just about choice, allowing the fans that want to stand to stand. The campaign has been 20 years in the making but the argument is being won."

Urgent Care and Emergencies
We know that pets get sick at all times of the day and night. We know that it isn't always possible to get an appointment as soon as your pet may need to be seen. In these situations, we are happy to see you and your pet on a walk-in basis.
How much will this cost?
- Between 7 AM and 5 PM, the exam fee is $175, or $200 if your pet is critically ill.

The exam fee does not include additional procedures such as x-rays, bloodwork or medication to go home. Please feel free to ask your veterinarian for an estimate of the cost of your pet's medical plan.
Primary Care Doctor
We encourage you to form a relationship with a "primary care doctor," someone who works with you the most often will be coming to Adobe and someone who can get to know you and your pet and take care of routine and on-going problems. Of course, none of our doctors can work all of the time, so urgent problems can be effectively handled by other members of our staff when your primary doctor is not available. Since our records are computerized, all of your pet's history will be available to any doctor caring for your pet.

When scheduling surgeries please call our surgery scheduling line (408-357-8004) to leave a message, or you can email our surgery department: email@example.com. The surgery staff will contact you to discuss when to drop off your pet, estimate for the surgery, and any other details about the surgery. If you leave a phone number, please ensure it has voice mail capability in case we need to leave a message.
Our South Bay hospital can hospitalize animals for the day. You are welcome to stay with your pet for treatments. We do not have 24 hour care at this time. If your pet will need to be hospitalized overnight, we recommend transfer to our Los Altos location.

well today i began my adventure and it went great:)
Restoration - day 5 of the intensive was awesome again, we did alot of our Eischens Yoga beginner sequence and individual poses today and everyone really loved it:) before lunch we did a quick fix any problem session, students went around helping each other to fix pains and you know what...it was really amazing:) The ability of Eischens Yoga to heal pains in the body in just seconds is just incredible....all over the room people would stand up out of the poses with amazed looks on their faces...it's simply amazing:) priceless to see the looks on their faces:) LOVE IT:)
WORKOUT DAY 8: Taking it to the next level this week!!
Power Wheel crawl + 40lb vest - 100 yards in as few sets as possible AND as fast as possible:
*35 yards, 35 yards, 35 yards in *3:08
* means new Personal Record!
This does two things i want to achieve my goal...trains the distance improvement that i am going to do each week AND the improves my conditioning i need for it!
Speed Handstand walking: today i did this part of my workout with one of my ballplayers young kid named Anthony who is pretty good at handstand walking, so i challenged him to beat me doing it and So we did 3 sets of 20 yards as fast as possible....I did 21 seconds, he did 21 seconds, then i did 21 again and he did 18!!! So now i got to cruise....i got *17 seconds!! Then he finished with a 17 too:) He pushed me hard and i pushed him too...it was great! Did 5 more yards in almost the same time as my fastest time for 15 yards last week and NO TURNS last week!! This week we did 10 yards down, turn and 10 yards back...So improved a bunch on this one too!!
3 sets of amap Kips:
Did sets of 32, 30, 30 for a total of 92! Considering how exhausted i was this was really impressive numbers i feel:) Hadnt ate a meal since my breakfast at 7am...just had a banana, an apple and alot of water all day long! Course from 8:45- noon, taught noon class, trained Wesley Matthews (NBA player for the Portland Trail Blazers) til 2:15, taught course til 5pm, trained High School boys from 5pm to 6:30pm, then finished my kips....ahhhh:) haha
RESULTS: SUPER happy how i did today considering how much work i did and how little food i got to eat! It's actually sort of impressive how good the plant foods give good energy for the day:)
MBG 3 Plant Based Nutrition:
BREAKFAST: mixed fruit with 4 bananas on top and a bunch of walnuts, SOLife and hemp seeds!!!
Snack: banana
LUNCH 1:none
Snack: apple
DINNER: Ate at the Willy Street Co-op with my good friend John Allen Mollenhauer and we had some great salads!! Mixed greens, corn, peas, mushrooms, carrots, garbanzos, pumpkin seeds. After that had a little bumble bar organic natural snack of peanuts, sesame seeds, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, honey...man these are super good!!
DESSERT: had 2 of my good friend craigs (owner of earth cafe raw vegan desserts) cheesecake slices! Man if people had one of these they would never go back to eating the typical filled with processed sugar, tons of fat and milk and cream cheesecakes that are all over the place. Earth Cafe cheesecakes are made of simple raw plants and are simply amazing: peaches, cashews, agave nectar, bananas, walnuts, dates and some sea salt.
TODAYS INTENSIVE: This afternoon we talked about plant based nutrition, the choices we all have; to eat natural or eat un-natural to whom we are...we ARE primates, primates eat fruits and vegetables, some nuts and seeds and some bugs occassionally. About 95-97% of all primates diets are plant based. So why is it that we do not eat the way the rest of the primates eat and eat the way predators eat? Why do we drink milk? No other species drinks milk after infancy OR drinks another animals milk? Why do support the meat and milk industries that are the number 1 reason for global warming due to the trafficking of animals and animal products all over the country?
They push a product that is un-healthy, that kills, that causes sickness to the world.
They add addictive substances to these products; fats, sugars, salts that make their products even more addictive....they say it does a body good....i say they are crack dealers....dealing on every corner mcdonalds, burger king and fast food joint in the world, supported in the media as 'good eats'.
Then...there are crack houses on every corner...it is no wonder there are more obese and sick people today than ever before in our history....the crack dealers are free to do promote their crack on every corner, on every tv, in every school, in every city... and everybody has just gone along with it!!! Now everyone is sick, fat and in pain....and so is this wonderful planet that we live on.
We can eat a plant based diet...not kill animals, not help global warming and help ourselves and this planet become healthier and happier.
We can stop straddling the fence of mediocre health and training, eating and restoration. And instead choose to eat plant based, be a vibrant example of health and happiness, we can choose to train for performance instead of ego and isolation and we can choose to help ourselves and others heal pains doctors and others have thought were just how it is gonna be....WE CAN CHOOSE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
Stand up, make a diffference, be that person who drops the pebble in the water!!
It takes strength to stand and face adversity, eating plants...you will walk thru the fire...we've proven you can prevail.
It takes strength to stand and face adversity, training without machines or isolation...you will thru the fire, we've proven it again.
It takes strength to stand and face adversity, healing pains and preventing other with yoga...you will thru the fire, we've proven it again.
Stand, face adversity, do what you know to be true and strong!
Trust me, you will love it, we are changing the fitness world, we are the revolutions my friends!!
MBG 3 my friends!!!
Peace and Honor!

Here today's notable draft signings, with slot value information via Baseball America:
- The Dodgers went well over slot to sign fifth-round pick Brendan Davis, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports on Twitter. Davis gets $918,600, which is $605K north of the 162nd pick's assigned slot value. Baseball America placed him just inside its top 500 list, noting that Davis was expected to attend Cal State Fullerton after missing much of his senior high school season with a broken wrist. A "smooth athlete" with good instincts and solid power and hit tools, the shortstop had been a fairly highly-valued prospect before the injury intervened. Los Angeles has yet to sign its top two picks, Walker Buehler and Kyle Funkhouser, and presumably expects to find some savings from those prospective deals to make up for the Davis overage.
- Meanwhile, the Yankees will realize some savings on second-rounder Jeff Degano, according to Jim Callis of MLB.com (via Twitter). The southpaw will earn a $650K bonus after being taken 57th overall ($1,074,400 slot value), freeing $424,400 for New York to apply toward other picks. ESPN.com's Keith Law was high on Degano, ranking him the 54th-best player available. Law credits Degano with a low-90s fastball, sweeping slider that could grow into an above-average offering, and reasonably promising change. Degano does have some injury questions and already has undergone Tommy John surgery.
- Phillies third-round pick Lucas Williams has agreed to an at-slot, $719,800 bonus, Mayo tweets. The high school shortstop was not considered an early-round option by many prospect hounds coming into the draft, but still commanded a full-slot bonus to forego his commitment to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
- The Red Sox have agreed with outfielder Tate Matheny, son of Cards skipper Mike Matheny, to a $512,700 bonus, per Callis (via Twitter). That is the full slot value for the 111th overall pick. Matheny, an outfielder from Missouri State, rated 107th on Baseball America's list. BA noted that he lacks any notable tools, but has average abilities in several areas and makes the most out of them with plus makeup.

IoT has many uses. In order to distinguish between the many uses and situations where IoT is and potentially will be, it has become common to distinguish Industrial IoT (IIoT), Consumer IoT (CIoT), Internet of everything (IoE) and finally Internet or Robotic Things - IoRT).
In some cases, these uses will overlap. Therefore, none of these terminologies are exact and "perfect", and for some, these terms can therefore appear to be more confusing than explanatory.
There are numerous reasons for the growing attention for the IoT. One of the causes and perhaps the major factor for the increased focus around the concept of IoT must be seen in the context of industrial IoT and convergence between IT and OT (Operational Technology).
There are many definitions of IoT. It just depends on how you look at it:
The foundation and the idea of the IoT were founded already in the late 80-90s. In particular, RFID had an important role in the development of IoT. In fact, the term IoT was created in an RFID and NFC context.
• RFID: Radio Frequency Identification
• NFC: Near Field Communication
The EU's regulation for data protection, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), will result in Norway implementing new data protection rules that come into force in 2018. The rules will apply to all undertakings that collect or use personal data concerning EU/EEA citizens. As undertakings we will have new duties, and all EU/EEA citizens whose personal data is registered will have new rights.
Nordigi is currently concluding the development stage for a new MultiNode Nordigi NEXUS IoT MultiNode. Nordigi NEXUS IoT MultiNode will be unique in terms of requirements relating to technology composition, physical size and mobility. The areas of application will be huge, and we are already busy with several specific implementation projects. Some of these projects are described in brief below.

Dear Curt,
I think it's pretty obvious the whistleblower is a Clinton. That much we know, Why would acting director Maguire even investigate the complaint if he knows Trump hasn't done anything wrong. Why not out the blower on Breitbart and club him in the face with a dinosaur bone Flintstone style? We could make lil' Adam Schiff watch.
Curt if Trump steps down, who becomes our leader next? Is it Melania or you? (I hope it's both of you!, your brains and her class). You've always been a great friend on Ukraine!
-Yuri, Kiev
You can't spell whistleblower without blow. They can't stand that Trump has drained the swamp and they just want him gone. Nobody outed Obama as an islamofacist Isis member, which seems worse to me than asking the Ukraine to share gossip about Biden's alive son. (I know there's a dead one, but I'm not good with libtard names).
Pretty sure Pence gets the nod, but I am ready to serve as his vice. It would be an honor to bash the gays and ladies alongside him! But this won't go anywhere-because Trump is the top dog...he's 100% above the law.
Why the hell else would anyone agree to be the president? -Curt

Star Trek: Discovery has finally unveiled the titles of the series' first few episodes to get us all excited ahead of its premiere.
The new CBS/Netflix reboot of the classic franchise is finally hitting the small screen this week, and to give fans a little present they dropped a new teaser video.
Although unfortunately region-locked for some, the official titles for the first four episodes are *drum roll*:
- 'The Vulcan Hello'
- 'Battle at the Binary Stars'
- 'Context is for Kings'
- 'The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry'
Things are truly gearing up for the new series as last week we got to listen to the Discovery theme tune for the first time.
Created by Fargo and The Night Of's composer Jeff Russo, the tune pays homage to the original 1960s series.
The brand new series is set a decade before the first and is led by The Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin-Green, as well as Jason Isaacs.
Martin-Green recently explained why the title is Discovery (apart from the fact that the ship shares the same name) – it's because it's all about discovery both in space and within ourselves.
Star Trek: Discovery will premiere on CBS and CBS All Access on Sunday, September 24 at 8.30/7.30c and will be available the following day on Netflix in the UK.

A colleague at work who forgets that I have pudendal neuralgia, not vulvodynia (still, at least she knows and cares, right) sent me a link to this article. Thought I'd share it in case some of you haven't seen it.
Guidelines for Management of Vulvodynia Issued
"Clinical care should follow the principles of general chronic pain management," the review authors write. "Treatment should be holistic and focus not only on the primary site of pain but on its subsequent impact on the patients' lifestyle and sexual functioning. The evaluation of different treatments is very difficult because published research on vulvodynia has many limitations with poor patient selection, limited follow-up data and a paucity of randomized clinical trials."
"These guidelines act as a starting point to aid doctors and other healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and management of vulvodynia, and to increase awareness and education on the condition," the review authors conclude. "The clinician should play a role in the assessment and diagnosis of vulvodynia and liaise with colleagues in difficult cases. Team work should be nurtured and developed."
Some Dramatic Title
I really just want to go to bed. I want warmth, comfort, dark, and quiet.
Let me just add:
(insert tantrum about it being "unfair," how lonely and sad and hopeless I feel, and how much I don't want to do anything for anyone right now)

Whitehall Councilwoman Jacquelyn Thompson asked three times last night for the resignation of a councilman charged with domestic violence and assault.
Whitehall Councilwoman Jacquelyn Thompson asked three times last night for the resignation of a councilman charged with domestic violence and assault.
Wesley Kantor, 52, was charged 10 days ago after a witness told police that Kantor had slammed his estranged wife against a car during a fight.
Although some residents have said they want his resignation, the handful at last night's City Council meeting said targeting Kantor is undermining Thompson's own efforts to open discussions about what the city can do to better prevent domestic violence.
"It's detrimental to the council and city," said resident Paul Werther, 48. "She's a bulldog. It's a distraction."
Other council members stayed silent on the issue and failed to follow up on Thompson's demand. Council President Brent Howard tried to interrupt Thompson when she spoke out of turn, then waited for her to finish.
"Good, you got it out. Let's move on," he said.
Kantor was at the meeting. "I don't have a lot to say," he said. "It's nice to see friendly faces out there."
Howard and other council members pointed out that Kantor is innocent until proved guilty. But Thompson said she thinks it tarnishes the council's reputation to have a member who was seen fighting with his wife in public.
Thompson said she has wanted the city to focus on domestic-violence issues since Whitehall resident Mark Meeks, 51, killed his wife, two children and himself a month ago.
She is pushing the city to hire an advocate for domestic-violence victims, increase public awareness and keep guns away from those who commit domestic violence. She suggested that they be registered like sex offenders, so neighbors and family can know.
City Attorney Mike Shannon said he's looking into ideas, but the council has yet to provide much feedback.
Phyllis Carlson-Riehm, director of the Action Ohio Coalition for Battered Women, said council members should turn the Meeks case into a cause.
"I urge you to take action," she said last night. "You have a golden opportunity to do something about domestic violence and shine a light on the problem."

Artist: Father John Misty
Album: I Love You, Honeybear
Label: Sub Pop
Release Date: February 10, 2015
By: Joey Kurbanov
Father John Misty understands the art of connecting spirituality with, well, almost everything. Raised with a "culturally oppressive" Baptist, Episcopal, and Pentecostal hybrid upbringing, he naturally has much to write about.
In his debut album, Fear Fun, the music was vast while hauntingly intimate, utilizing folk-like instrumentation. Swirling strings, steel guitars, and choirs recall a Wagnerian farm chant championing ideas of religion, sex, and war with absurd directness and satire.
On the second Father John album; I Love you, Honey Bear, our Father writes about his love, Emma Garr. It's with his better half, he celebrates Satanic Christmas Eve on Chateau Marmont. The album's depiction of love is far-fetched but humorous. Father John Misty recounts "Mascara, blood, ash and cum" as the pinnacle of his relationship. Unfortunately, I Love you, Honey Bear, proves musically insignificant, riding the sonic formula of its predecessor. The track "Bored in the U.S.A.," proves to be the album's highest point, with an airy and intricate melody hovering over a heightened sense of humor. I Love you, Honey Bear is melodically liberal but fails to captivate due to the lack of central "hooks" and the poor repetition of harmonic and rhythmic structure. Lyrically, the album is witty and cynical in all it's glory, providing a refreshing perspective on Romance. Still worth a listen.

Bioinspired from Salivary Acquired Pellicle: A Multifunctional Coating for Biominerals
2017-06-09T00:00:00Z (GMT) by
Manipulation of the surface properties of biominerals is very important for their biomedical applications. However, the straightforward preparation of a multifunctional and stable coating on biominerals remains a challenge. Herein we report a rapid and universal method for the preparation of multifunctional coatings on various biominerals using a salivary acquired pellicle (SAP) inspired dendrimer. The dendrimer has a highly branched structure and an external surface modified with DDDEEKC peptide. It mimics the adsorption function of statherin, which is one of the main components of SAP, to endow the coating with a universal capability for adhesion on various biominerals such as hydroxyapatite, tertiary calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, pearls, enamel, dentin, and bone. The coating can be formed by a simple dip-coating method on the surface of biominerals within 10 min, and is stable for more than 1 month. The coating can also provide a general platform for secondary modifications. For example, we use pregrafting or postgrafting methods to introduce functional molecules such as fluorescein isothiocyanate, heptadecafluoroundecanoyl chloride, and collagen to the surface of the coatings, thus these biomineral surfaces can be applied for different applications such as for protein crystallization by forming superhydrophobic surface, or promoting cell adhesion and proliferation by immobilizing collagen.

Internet radio station Jango made news this week announcing it's "pay for play" service for emerging artists. Musicians can purchase 1000 plays or listens to their song for $30. The station works like Pandora and other stations that allow listeners to design their own station by entering the names of artists they like to listen to, and then deliver those artists along with other, similiar sounding music based on those preferences.
For musicians that are looking to connect with listeners, it sounds like a great deal – for $30 they'll get played 1000 times to listeners who have an affinity for their kind of music. According to their press release, Beta testing of Jango Airplay shows strong enthusiasm from artists for guaranteed spins to a targeted, receptive audience – and from Jango listeners to engage with up-and-coming acts and actively contribute to their success. On average, $30 spent on 1,000 plays results in 100 positive actions from listeners who say they like the artist, write a comment, and/or become a full-fledged fan.
Musicians who receive positive ratings from listeners can also earn more free airplay. Once they get 50 positive ratings, they get added into the free rotation of music on the station – in other words, they have proven themselves with the audience and get rewarded with increased play. Plus, artists can communicate directly with their new fans, and get more information about the people who like their music.
As mentioned in RAIN yesterday, Doug Perlson wrote a piece last fall about legal payola as a revenue model for struggling webcasters, which generated buzz in some industry blogs. His piece put forth the idea that since the performance royalty forces web stations to pay for the rights to play the music, and places no value on the promotion that artists get from their music being played, that stations should then also charge record companies/musicians for the plays.
The way that Jango has structured this makes it very palatable for both the listener and the musician. The listener has control in selecting what they want to hear and can rate the music after they hear it. The musician gets more control over how often their music gets played and the chance to connect with listeners who like their stuff.
As David Oxenford mentions in his blog last fall on the topic, stations like Jango are likely obtaining permission to play the music royalty free as well – so they win twice – by monetizing the plays, and by avoiding the performance royalty fees (for that music).
This concept presents an interesting twist in the Internet radio business model, and one that may well have traction given the high performance royalties that stations are obligated to pay to play the music. Now it's come full circle – the musicians pay the stations to play their music and the stations pay the musicians to play the music.

I am so excited about the new game show The American Bible Challenge. I can not stand how many shows are on right now that I hate to have on my television. Most of the prime time shows that come on now are not appropriate for kids and family time. But this is!The American Bible Challenge made its debut on August 23,2012. We all sat down as a family and I can not tell you how wonderful that hour was!
As my daughter is preparing for a bible bowl she is excited to watch others testing out their knowledge. We all sat in the living room and shouted out the answers. I was so much fun watching us all test our knowledge and laugh. I grew up in the church and generally think I have good general knowledge of the stories, verses and people in the bible. But I have to tell you I LEARNED things during the game!
I also LOVE that all of the contestants are playing for a group / organization that they feel needs the money. It is amazing watching the stories about the groups that they choose and why!

The general situation and the weakness of health systems in these countries provide ideal conditions for the introduction and development of this revolting traffic by criminals who are only concerned with gain, ignoring the damage they wreak.
- The lack of access to high quality medicines:
The accessibility of legal medical products is a key problem in many countries, notably in Africa.
The price of medication is beyond the reach for many whose salary is barely sufficient for food. This, coupled with frequent stock shortages resulting from haphazard organization, and the need to import a large number of medical products, lead patients to uncontrolled parallel sources (which are inundated by falsified medicines) in an effort to find treatment for the illnesses.
- The complexity of distribution systems:
The complexity of distribution channels increases the chances of falsified medication entering legal markets. Their utter illegibility prevents effective control. This results in them becoming prime targets for criminals and traffickers.
Furthermore, multiple intermediaries and supply sources renders traceability impossible and encourages corruption. In Africa it has taken on endemic proportions. The complexity of channels is often so great that it is impossible to find the person who looked the other way and allowed falsified medicines to enter the system.
- Lack of means for regulatory authorities:
Controlling the channels is that much more difficult in that regulatory authorities often are cruelly lacking both financial and human means to accomplish their task.
In addition, in developing countries with limited resources, the pharmaceutical sector is not the only one that requires additional means. Administrative organizations, the police force, customs, all suffer from inadequate staff, training, and financing. They are all affected and necessary in an effective battle against falsified medical products.
- Porous borders:
This is the result of the precedent point and completes it. Borders are easily breached when there is a lack of material and financial means for customs officials, unclear organization, and ineffectual legislation. This limits monitoring and facilitates the import-export of falsified medication.
- Weak sanctions:
Certain countries have no laws punishing counterfeiting and are helpless in their fight against falsified medicine, despite the major risk they represent for public health.
This legislative void exists in both developed and developing countries, though it is more glaring in the latter.
The debate concerning the definition of "falsified medical products" is one of the many causes. It has yet to be clearly settled …
This legislative breach encourages criminals because undercuts any active battle against traffickers due to lack of sanctions.
Developing countries are the biggest victims of the traffic of falsified medical products; but they do not always have sufficient means to protect themselves. The international community must react. International cooperation is vital to effectively battle the scourge and protect populations.

Can Anyone Explain This To Me?
February 9, 2011 1 Comment
Five and a half weeks ago, I broke my ankle. A week or so ago I started off another post similarly. That post was satiric. I wish this one was, though it is slightly surreal. It's about the health care industry!
I got crutches at the emergency room, but found out that for about $200 I could rent a knee scooter, which helps take some of the strain off the good leg, and frees up one hand so you can carry things. I decided to find out if my insurance would cover this item. The premium my husband and I pay (entirely out of pocket; we're freelance musicians) is astronomical, so it seemed reasonable to try. It took being transferred to several departments to find out they might pay, but a prescription would be necessary, as would pre-approval because the device costs more than $500.
Here's where it gets slightly surreal. My insurance provider is contracting with a home medical supply company that will only sell the item, for more than double what I'd have paid for a rental (by the way, the rental model was a much better version). At $500 (1) insurance is paying too much and (2) I have to spend a week making phone calls and getting pre-approval.
Now it gets more surreal. Here's a picture of the Explanation of Benefits. Don't get hung up on the fact that the actual price was less than $500; it's close enough. Look at what the insurance company actually paid.
$28. Twenty-eight dollars. Color me scratchin' my head. I feel like I'm in a Health Insurance Hall of Funny Mirrors, and in addition to all the crazy distortions, big old clown faces keep popping out, laughing their maniac laughs. I'm hoping the book I just started reading will help explain this insane, uh, system, this crazy game. It's The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care, by T.R. Reid. I'm only one chapter in, but so far it's very interesting, and very readable.

Another act of perjury
Pacific Bell filed a motion to get the complaint dismissed by stating that I didn't have an account with Pacific Bell.
Line 2 on the above document very clearly states:
As the above bill proves, I did have a Pacific Bell Account, in exactly the same name, and business name (and address) as Ginger Henry swore that I didn't have. I had the account since May of 2000, and Pacific Bell overcharged me on the installation.
Ginger Henry committed Perjury. She is a lazy, sloppy executive, who did not even bother to check the facts before she signed a document, under penalty of perjury.
Likewise, the Attorney who filed the motion (and most likely, wrote the Declaration of Ginger Henry), was just as lazy and sloppy.
The Judge stated the Perjury issue was moot.
The phone bill is important, because Pacific Bell had over charged on the installation, by charging me for two phone jacks, instead of one. The Commission Ruled that Pacific Bell owed me a refund. Pacific Bell promised to refund the money in 2003, but as of 2008, I have not received a penny. This is another example of lazy, sloppy behavior by the legal department.
As a result of failing to comply with a Commission Order, the State is legally obligated to fine Pacific Bell (Now the New AT&T) $500 per day, minimum, since ordering Pacific Bell to refund the money. The maximum fine would be $20,000 per day.

"Beauty of handmade lies in their imperfections, anything perfect is machine-made"
If you feel that it's coming the time for a bigger project but you think you are not fully realy for it.... well this post might just work for you.
It's a super easy free crochet pattern, again from our beloved page One Dog Woof, for a super cute crochet top. Depending on the tipe of yarn you use it can be a good project also for spring time, just skip wool for cotton.... and that's it.
It comes with step-by-step instruction plus some videos and pictures to help you with the project. No excuses, the "medium" level, my dearest beginner crochet maniacs, it's just around the corner!
Enjoy! :)

When Death Occurs at Home
As a person is dying, their body will go through a number of physical changes as it slows down and moves toward the final stages of life. Many of these changes are normal and to be expected. Please remember that each person is different; all of these signs and symptoms won't occur for everyone. Although the following changes are presented in the order in which they usually appear, some variation is common.
When you notice changes, report them to your home care nurse or family doctor, who can make any needed adjustments in medications and offer practical suggestions. If you have questions or concerns at any time, please talk to the home care nurse, family doctor or one of the Yukon Palliative care team members.
We hope that this information will help you prepare for changes that are likely to happen. We include some practical advice and comfort measures to help you in your role as caregiver and advocate.
A dying person may…sleep longer
A dying person may sleep for longer periods and sometimes have difficulty waking. Times of increased activity and communication may be followed by hours or days of deep sleep and unresponsiveness. In the moments before death occurs, many people appear to be sleeping or comatose.
A dying person may…eat and drink less
It is normal at end of life for people to have very little appetite or thirst. A dying person may not be interested in food or drink. This is a natural part of their body preparing for death.
A dying person may…become confused and/or restless
A dying person may be unable to recognize familiar people or surroundings, may see things that you cannot see, pull at their sheets and clothing or reach into the air.
A dying person may…experience emotional and spiritual changes
A dying person may talk about going somewhere, ask to go home, or see and speak to people you don't see. Strong emotions such as fear or anger may be expressed near end of life. Although not everyone will experience these responses, they are considered normal and expected.
A dying person may… have difficulty swallowing
A dying person may forget to swallow or have difficulty swallowing as weakness increases. Foods and fluids with the consistency of yogurt are easier to swallow than thin water-like fluids.
A dying person may… have irregular or shallow breathing
Rapid shallow breathing is common. There may be pauses between breaths of 10-30 seconds or longer. Changing breathing patterns are normal, and usually the dying person is unaware of and untroubled by these changes.
A dying person may… develop wet-sounding breathing or moaning
As the body weakens, saliva may collect at the back of the throat and cause wet-sounding breathing. This wet sound may also be caused by congestion deeper in the lungs. Moaning as the person breaths in or out may or may not be an indication of discomfort.
A dying person may… become unresponsive
The person may no longer respond to voices, being touched or may seem to be sleeping with their eyes open.
A dying person may… lose control of bladder or bowels
If the person has stopped eating and drinks very little, loss of bowel and bladder control may not be an issue. Decreased urine output and bowel movements are normal at the end of life.
A dying person may… have a change in body temperature
The person may feel unusually hot or cool to the touch. If the temperature-regulating part of the brain is not working or a fever has developed, the person will feel hot to the touch. Conversely as circulation slows, the person's arms, legs, hands and feet may feel cool, and the skin may look patchy or bluish in colour. These changes are a normal part of the dying process. Typically, the person will not be feeling cold as this natural cooling occurs.
Saying Good-bye
For many people, saying goodbye is an important part of the dying process. The person who is dying, as well as friends and family members, may wish to find ways to express their love, gratitude and sorrow to each other. Some people may choose to say goodbye through conversations, letters, trips and rituals, or simply by being together. Some dying people seem most comfortable with loved ones around, while others may be more at ease with quiet and privacy. Usually the amount of stimulation and contact with others that people preferred when they were well is similar to what they desire near the end of life. A dying person may seem to choose the time to die, perhaps when particular people are present or when they are alone.
You may wish to:
At the time of death
You will notice that the person's:
When death has occurred at home
After the death...
This final leave-taking can be a difficult time. Before the funeral home attendants arrive, you may want to bathe and/or dress the person or gather special objects or notes to send with him or her. You may prefer to choose the clothes you want the person to wear and give them to the attendants, or you can bring them to your meeting at the funeral home.
When the funeral home attendants arrive, they will move the body to a stretcher in preparation for leaving. Consider whether or not you wish to be present when the person's body is removed. You may wish to remain with the body or you may want to leave, go into another room or go for a walk while the stretcher is taken out. Memorial or funeral plans can be made or confirmed at an appointment with the funeral home the next day.

Meetings and Guilt
I've had a lot of meetings with teachers and school administrators in the past few months. I've had even more in the past two years. Many of these meetings take place because I call for them. My kid is in crisis, life has become untenable, things must change. I'm always aware that urgent meetings are a disruption of the school personnel's regular schedule. The meetings certainly disrupt my life and I know that teachers/administrators are every bit as busy as I am. This means that I enter these meetings with a strong urge to apologize for inflicting my kids on the school. I am always aware that there is more I could be doing to resolve the issue. I could support my kid more, be more regular at declaring homework time, establish a more firm bedtime. It is only recently that I recognized my deep emotional belief that it was my job to help my kids function normally in a classroom, and if they didn't, that was a failure on my part. Pulled out into rational light, I can see how ridiculous this expectation is. Yet it was there in my head and it caused me a lot of grief.
I hit a turning point last November when I sat in a meeting with my son, his counselor, a student advocate, the vice principal, the principal, and a special ed teacher. All of these busy people sat with me and my son for more than an hour while I talked about what we were experiencing, what we'd done to try to resolve it, and expressed a need for help. As I talked, I really could see that we had done every possible thing that was in our power to do, yet my son needed more. Which the school staff identified and moved to provide. The help was wonderful. Even better was walking out of the meeting and realizing that they didn't blame me. No one was standing in judgment to evaluate why we'd ended up in the emotional pit. They just asked if we'd prefer a rope, ladder, shovel, or backhoe as the means to get out.
After that meeting I began to stop blaming me. It was hard. I had to break long time habits of thought. As we were digging out to a better place, arranging therapy, adjusting medications, changing the school schedule, I learned that I was most helpful to everyone else if I simply said "This is where we are at today" without burying myself under an emotional load of guilt. In problem solving, how you arrived matters less than where you're headed.
The frequency of meetings has begun to trail off. I'm looking at a March that might be completely free of teacher meetings. I would be fine with that, because it would mean that the arrangements for next year are made and no one is in crisis. In the interim, I'm glad that the only meetings I have coming up are routine meetings about school schedules for next year.

This year for Take Your Child to Work Day, we had the wonderful children help out with a great non-profit, Blessings in a Backpack. We brought in truckloads of food and juice boxes to put into bags for the children in low income areas to send home with them over the weekend to ensure that they would have food. The TEC children did an amazing job and got 580 bags filled in about 2 hours timeframe. They also got to learn about what this non-profit does for the children in those areas and how they made an impact on their lives.
Blessings in a Backpack has a mission to mobilize communities, individuals, and resources in order to be able to provide food over the weekend for elementary school children all across America who might otherwise go hungry. As statistics show, there are currently more than 13.1 million children in the United States who are at risk of hunger. With the help of people in the community and the wonderful people at Blessings in a Backpack, they are able to feed over 87,300 children in over 1,092 schools across 45 different U.S. states, as well as the District of Columbia.
After the children did an awesome job of helping hungry children, they got to interview different employees of TEC, have a show and tell experience, enjoy some laughter and play time, and then settled down in the afternoon with a movie and snacks.
All of the children left that day with a treat bag and a certificate for the hard day's work that they had put in. They all left with a smile on their face and a better sense of what we strive to do here at TEC for our customers, and also how we strive to make a difference in our community.

It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!
JGoode | 1/9/2009, 5:30 p.m.
The Girl Scout cookie program, which begins Jan. 10, is a familiar part of American culture. For more than 80 years, Girl Scouts, with the enthusiastic support of their families, have participated in the country's premiere entrepreneurial and economic literacy program. In fact, many successful businesswomen today say they got their start selling Girl Scout cookie
Girls gain confidence, as well as communication and business leadership skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. At an early age, girls learn to develop marketing strategies, deliver business presentations and increase their customer base. The cookie program teaches girls about teamwork, goal-setting and fiscal responsibility. Many troops set goals to raise money to help the community or to supplement troop activities, like a visit to Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low's birthplace in Savannah, Georgia. The sale helps girls fund their favorite activities, earn recognitions and in some cases, pay for camp.
"The Girl Scout cookie program is run by girls, for girls," says D'Anne Hawk, GSSJC product sales director. "It is one of very few youth-oriented programs in the country that provides its participants the opportunity to decide how to direct the proceeds generated through their business activity."
All of the revenue earned through the Girl Scout cookie program benefits our community and local Girl Scouts. Among other things, at the Council level, proceeds are used to provide financial assistance to girls, maintain campsites, keep camp and program fees at a minimum, and support special initiatives, such as offering Girl Scout programs in underprivileged communities like public housing facilities and detention centers.
The skills girls learn − all while having fun and making friends − will truly last a lifetime! So next time you hear, "Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?" know that your support is developing future leaders who will make the world a better place! And don't worry about blowing your budget or New Year's resolution. Cookies are still $3.50 per box and have zero grams of trans fat per serving.
Beginning Feb. 20, Girl Scout troops will sell cookies outside your neighborhood grocery stores.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.5 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 64,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties. For more information call 1-800-392-4340 or visit www.gssjc.org.
