The typical senior is no longer OLD and sitting home in the rocking chair, while deteriorating!
With the advent of technology and new research, exercise and knowledge...seniors are far more active than they used to. They typically continue working and remain with hobbies from their whole life and keep developing new hobbies.
Gone are the days of sitting in the chair waiting for atrophy to set in at age 65 and look like you're 85.
Now, 85 year old people look 65!!
Put that in your pipe! lol

I have grown, thanks to the Lord, in my understanding of marriage in the last year and have had to reflect on many, many mistakes that I made and continue to make. I do, however, have a great joy in the fact that I am not at the forefront of this movement toward humility and understanding. My husband has taken up his cross to serve our family and lay down his own desires daily to pursue an intimate and tender marriage that focuses on Jesus Christ and his incredible saving power and how we can allow that love to minister to each other in our relationship. Anyone who is married knows that this dying to self is a difficult, ongoing process of mutual sanctification, and God knows that I have royally messed things up in the past. Thank God for his grace and for allowing Tim to be my husband.
One element that we are both developing through is that of the pointed and biblical sermons that Pastor Chris is delivering from the podium. You can check them out at www.faith-bible.net . The leaders' position is that Christian marriages today are failing to do what God intended for them: reflect the redeeming love and grace of Christ in relation to his church. The Bible clearly teaches that God's heart for marriage is that when two people commit to love each other that it is not for their happiness but rather their holiness and moreover God's glory. It is hard, as a divorced woman, to acknowledge that I became a statistic of those failing to fulfill God's high calling, but I do not believe that God is unable to reprimand, resolve our sin through Christ, and restore our ability to admonish and encourage others. I have been so encouraged because much, if not all, of the responsibility of marriage and raising children is placed squarely on the shoulders of men. It is with this understanding, that men are the godly leaders, fully equipped to support and serve their wives, that I have been set free of a task that I was neither equipped for, nor did I desire: leading my marriage.
This submission to God's desired roles and deepening my love for Tim has created a fathomless well of intense love, respect and admiration for him and all he does for us. I know that much of my focus during this first year of marriage will be "us", but I know that I am a work in progress and I hope that God will continue His reforming so that my focus will continually be " for Him" and not just for us; but for now, I am so smitten and in love with the strong and godly man that Tim is as he yields to God's desires spelled out in His word. I just can't say enough about how wonderful Tim is for me. I am also utterly thankful that he continues, by the power of God's spirit, to lead our family to great blessings as we honor God. I pray that your marriage will reflect God's glory. 1 John 4:7-20 states, among other truths about love, that it is only because He first loved us that we are able to love. We are also encouraged to learn to love one another, for only those who know God can learn the sacrificing love that marriage demands. Only through Christ can our marriages be truly and profoundly joyful and enduring. Love, Lauren

15 '90s Foods To Make Even As a Fancy Ass Adult
Remember when you were a kid, and coming home to find Dunkaroos, Pop-Tarts, and pizza bagels waiting for you as an afternoon snack was basically the coolest thing ever? There's just something about classic '90s foods that bring back the best memories, and now that we're super fancy adults, we're trying our own hand at making some of our favorites with a grownup twist. For this Throwback Thursday, our friends at Food52 have rounded up recipes for 15 old-school snacks that you can whip up at home — no Easy Bake Oven required. From homemade Funfetti cake to Crunch bars you can make in your kitchen, get ready for a serious dose of sweet, delicious nostalgia.
The '90s brought us Surge Cola, the Macarena, and some totally unforgettable food trends. Millennials recall the excessive use of sun-dried tomatoes and the ubiquitous Chinese chicken salad, but this decade really belonged to snacks like Twix Bars and Hot Pockets. We've collected some of the iconic '90s recipes that are an integral part of our culinary vocabulary, so before you start binge-watching Twin Peaks, make the experience authentic with some homemade pizza bagels and a boozy milkshake.

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Generating e-pub and html indexes
Hi Paul,
Dave Gardiner put together an index customization that I've used to generate index entries that point to numbered sections.
That is, if you have section numbering turned on, and you use this customization, the index will use the section number instead of the title. So you get index entries that look like this:
agile development, 1.4, 2.3.6
This doesn't work if you have section numbering turned off. I have an item on my todo list to make it so it will still work with section numbering on or off, but that has sunk to the bottom of my todo list for now:-).
If you'd like to see the customization, I can send it to you if it's okay with Dave.

More than two months after the Borderline Bar & Grill massacre and the Woolsey Fire, the community of Thousand Oaks is still healing, but the victims of both tragedies received a little help from some of their very famous neighbors.
REO Speedwagon's Kevin Cronin and his wife, Lisa, call Thousand Oaks home. The horrific shooting at the Borderline followed immediately by the devastating wildfire left them in pain and wondering how they could help the community they love.
"They didn't have time to grieve from the shootings or even absorb the shock of the shooting because here's a fire coming toward your home at 50 mph, so our community got hit hard," Cronin said.
A week and a half ago, REO Speedwagon, singer Eddie Money and others held a benefit concert in Thousand Oaks to help those affected by the tragic incidents. They are giving more than $360,000.
"It was a tragic event but it goes to show you how close people are in Thousand Oaks. It is a loving and giving community, and I'm glad to be a part of it," Money said.
County officials say there is a real trust and bond with the community, and 100 percent of the money raised will go to the families affected by the tragedies.

In WaPo Op-Ed, OB-GYN Abortion Provider Says Media's Demonization Of Reproductive Health Workers Heightens Their Fear Of Attack
An OB-GYN who also provides abortions wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post titled, "Being a doctor who performs abortions means you always fear your life is in danger" in which she explained how threats of violence and intimidation tactics directed at reproductive health service providers affect them and their patients.
Conservative media often compare abortion providers -- like people who work at Planned Parenthood -- to Nazis and Josef Mengele, but the potential for inciting violence is very real when radio, television, online, and print outlets use their public platforms to spout extremist rhetoric and fan the flames of public anger. Reproductive health care facilities have suffered arson attacks and other forms of vandalism in the wake of this summer's release of deceptively-edited videos by an anti-choice group that were heavily promoted by Fox News and other conservative media organizations.
From Dr. Diane J. Horvath-Cosper's October 29 Washington Post op-ed:
Every few months, I do an Internet search for my name, as recommended by a media-savvy colleague. In the past I've found myself in all the predictable places -- among a list of doctors who graduated from my residency program, on my employer's Web site, in various social-media posts. But in the stillness of a warm evening this past August, after putting my daughter to bed, I found myself in a new and terrifying place: an anti-choice Web site that claims I am part of an "abortion cartel." In addition to my office address and links to find my medical license numbers, it features several photos of me. In one of the photos, taken from social media, I'm holding my then-15-month-old daughter.
Though the site claims to be "informational" in nature, the real purpose is clear. There is no better way to intimidate and incite fear than to target a family member, especially a child. The message is unambiguous: I'm being watched, and so is my daughter.
I am an obstetrician-gynecologist. Among the many medical services I provide my patients, I also perform abortions for women who need them. That's made me a target for harassment online and in person over the course of my career.
Numerous colleagues have similar stories. On social media, I've witnessed friends and mentors called murderers, Nazis, racists and whores. The threats can be vague ( "I hope someone does to you what you do to babies" ) or terrifyingly specific ( "I know where you live, and someday I might show up at your doorstep" ).
Too often, these threats are not all talk: In the past two decades, 13 physicians or staff members at abortion-providing facilities have been killed or seriously injured.
As hard as it is for physicians and staff who work at these clinics, the impact isn't just on providers. When patients are confronted by threats and intimidation, some of them are too frightened to enter the clinic to get the care they need. These women deserve empathetic, respectful care -- which is what my colleagues and I have studied and practiced for years to give them -- not judgement, and not violence. Targeting clinics also prevents women from getting other essential medical services, from cancer screenings to ultrasounds to sexually transmitted-infection testing and treatment.

For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted more, a bigger house, a faster car, more money, I wanted it all.
It wasn't just "keeping up with the Joneses," because I didn't care what others did or didn't have. It was inside me. No matter what I had, I always felt incomplete. If I could have just a little bit more, I thought, I'd finally be "me."
Guess what? I worked and slaved my butt off and got that little bit more, but it didn't help. I still felt empty inside, like I wasn't enough, like I'd never be enough.
"What are you doing out here? It's freezing."
I looked up. My wife Beth came out onto the front porch.
"Oh, I didn't realize it was getting late. Just doing something on my iPad."
"Well, come on in. You can't work all the time. The kids want to know if you'd like to play a game with them. It's been a long time."

Shift Happens
What came first? Change in the way humans live, buy and share information, or was it new technology that disrupted life as usual?
Either way, shift happens. For the fast and flexible, that shift is an exciting opportunity; for the slow and established, it is a scary proposition.
I have been given the opportunity to build a new agency under a new holding company during the greatest shift in the marketing communications industry that I can remember. Along with my team, we have decided that it is time to disrupt a system and an industry that can do better. We are experienced agency folks who know what works and what doesn't and we believe two critical areas are ripe for change: the relationship and how data informs the way we work.
The relationship is the most important aspect of building success between client and agency. A more modern spin on a successful relationship — even when one partner is paying — is based on mutual trust and sharing, period. In other words, it's not only about the client and it's not only about the agency. The magic happens in the middle, where respect, culture and most importantly, sharing of information happens.
So, what do we mean by sharing of information? We work in the age of big data, data mining and data sharing. We must connect more information than ever before to provide insights that help develop business solutions with a higher certainty of outcomes.
This is no easy task.
We can't make it up and we can't fake it.
Often public relations is brought in to develop messaging, identify channels or work to place stories among influencers and media. However, to successfully move forward with those steps, there is work that needs to be done first. It starts with asking WHY we are doing it. What is the business goal? Once that is clear, we can build a hypothesis that can be proved or disproved by analyzing customer data and interaction.
Until recently, measuring agency success of PR programs has been elusive. Even with metrics in place, PR was not always solving the business problem, and even if it was, it couldn't get the credit. Our industry needs a new mindset along with new skill sets to harness data; this is true for agency and in-house communications departments alike.
Ultimately, effective use of data can move the PR industry from guessing to knowing. We call it predictive communications, and it can only happen in a true partnership where information — both inside and outside the company — is shared, along with a carefully ordered road map that sets the stage for success. It is a new order that puts communications at the table earlier in the process.
Without the clear identification of business goals and analyzing customer data from both inside and outside the organization, communicators may not be solving the right problem, and consequently, unsuccessful in making a measurable difference. As shift happens, the client-agency partnership needs a new mindset about the role of its communications counsel and how it will harness and share data. #modernagency

text: Another holiday activity was in my "workshop" making Jared's quilt. He decided he wanted an Angry Bird quilt so I took him to the quilt store to show him there isn't Angry Bird fabric. I thought we were safe but then he saw some candy cane fabric and wanted a quilt made out of that. We suggested a pillow case or a project apron but he wanted a candy cane quilt and said "nothing will change my mind." We walked over to the boy fabric and when he saw trains he said, "Okay, trains will change my mind." I let Jared and Nicole "help" quilt when I was almost finished with the border.

Texas sneaks back into the top 25 in final Associated Press poll
AUSTIN – Most everyone was high on Texas before last season began. And why not – it was coming off a 10-win season, an impressive win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl and had a deadly offense coupled with a potential-laden defense.
But after opening up at No. 10 in the Associated Press preseason Top 25 and rising to No. 9 after Week 1, the Longhorns eventually tumbled from the poll. A disappointing 7-5 regular-season precluded Texas from nearing its lofty preseason status in the final AP poll, but a 38-10 rout of Utah in the Alamo Bowl convinced enough voters to throw the Longhorns (8-5, 5-4 Big 12) some votes.
Texas snuck in at No. 25 in the last poll, released Tuesday morning after LSU downed Clemson in the CFP national championship game. It was one of three Big 12 teams represented, joining No. 7 Oklahoma and No. 13 Baylor.
Recommended Video:
This also marked the first time Texas finished consecutive seasons ranked in the postseason Top 25 since 1998-2009.
The Longhorns open next season on Sept. 5 at home against South Florida before traveling to Baton Rough for a rematch with LSU.

We start off the show getting to know Chip and his big pans he has on the marketing through Okie Cable And Trap. This is a two-part show. As most of you know, I have trapped for deer and turkey guys all over the country. Predator Control is my business. We are going to go over a business model that some of you will not like, some will find it interesting and a few will make some grown up money with this model based in Permaculture. It is a way that anyone that wants to learn a better way for land owners to design food plots. This way a trapper can have a summer business that will land them some great trapping grounds. Even if you don't follow my advice, you will hear how to work through a business idea.
Our sponsors this week are as follows:

Hyroglifics – Calling / Torus [Flexout Audio]
Posted by Adam on 25th April 2014
I've always been a big fan of Hyroglifics as well as the guys over at Flexout Audio so I was very happy to hear that they would be releasing a Hyroglifics single – his first solo release on the label!
But this is no ordinary release…
The plan is to get this release on vinyl, which will be funded by an Indiegogo campaign. Those who aren't familiar with Indiegogo can find out more here.
For full details and to pledge your cash click here
To explain the plan and the idea behind it here is Hyroglifics himself:
Hello, my name is Matt Harris, better known as Hyroglifics. On May 14th I am releasing a single on Flexout Audio comprised of two tunes called 'Calling' and 'Torus'. Recently I have had some interest in whether it will be released on vinyl, so to those people and all the vinyl collectors out there this is an opportunity for 100 people to get a very special limited edition 12″ coloured vinyl with full colour label and artwork. This is my debut release on vinyl so this would be a very special moment for me. Hopefully there is enough of you out there to donate and make this happen, long live vinyl and thank you to everyone for the support!

These are the official standings. That means they are official, not that they are correct. Things jump around a lot as people decide to update the standings. This problem is especially bad in the back of the pack, as no one bothers to update those standings when the lead is changing.
The Mushers in bold are former winners of the Yukon Quest, the numbers in parentheses are their Bib numbers, and the small "R" indicates a rookie.
Note: This post will be updated during the day, and the map changed on all posts to reflect the current situation.

Pypestream is on a mission to make life easier by allowing businesses to connect with their customers through a secure channel, referred to as a "pype", to provide on-demand sales, marketing, and support services. By leveraging a combination of AI-powered robots and human agents within the pype, companies are able to streamline their customer engagements to garner exceptional cost savings, while maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction
Even enterprises in the most highly-regulated industries can use Pypestream's secure messaging and transactions to interact directly with their stakeholders. With a leadership team comprised of industry experts with decades of experience, Pypestream is serving more than a dozen industry verticals, including insurance, healthcare, utilities, financial services, telecommunications, consumer goods and travel.
Major brands of Fortune 50 companies have extended Pypestream's pype to be an outbound messaging system too so that email is used less and less in marketing. To put this into perspective, try to imagine a time when customers have such a deeply personal relationship with a business/brand that they can interact anytime, anywhere around any topic inside a messaging interface. If it's your birthday, the same system that lets you resolve a billing issue sends you a coupon and happy birthday message in the morning.
I invited the CEO of Pypestream, Richard Smullen onto the show to discuss the major shift taking place in the use of AI and data and how this shift is already bringing brands and customers closer together. I learn how the idea for the company was born from his desire as a consumer to have a more robust, real-time and efficient way to interact and transact with the businesses, brands, and organizations in his life.

Revered in Ayurvedic medicine, Brahmi is named after Brahman, the force of creative energy and Shakti in the world. No biggie. Anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and sedative, Brahmi has high Vitamin C and antioxidant properties. Brahmi stimulates the release of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, which trigger feelings of mental focus and emotional calm. It is one of the best herbs for mental rejuvenation for the nervous system and brain, as well as an incredible tonic to the skin and liver. Brahmi plant leaves can also improve synaptic transmission efficacy through the release of the compound Bacoside A.

Exciting news friends. My friend Jillian Chantal who has previously guest blogged here has her first novel being released next week. Solo Honeymoon will be available in many electronic formats next week at www.sirenbookstrand.com. Here's her back cover blurb:
Emma Chauncey finds her fiancé naked with one of her bridesmaids on top of him three days before her wedding. Burned by the experience, she takes a friend on her honeymoon. They travel to an Italian villa where Emma plans to nurse her broken heart.
Wealthy, titled, and handsome, women's shoe designer Dario DeLuca is also at the villa. In disguise as a dance instructor, he's determined to find a woman to love him for himself, not his wealth and title. Sparks fly between Emma and Dario, until she learns his true identity.
Hurt that another man has lied to her, and distrusting her own judgment, she flees. Dario follows her to New York. But Emma's former fiancé is back with an agenda of his own. Can Dario convince Emma he's the man for her even though he lied about his identity? Can he convince her she deserves true love?
Want to know more about Jillian check out her blog here on wordpress. (See my blogroll) and for a couple of fun FREE reads go to www.romancestoriesmagazine.com Jillian is in both issues available online.
If you are a reader of romance you are going to want to get on Jillian's bandwagon with her first release. Her second novel is scheduled to come out in July 2011, it may happen sooner but… Solo Honeymoon came out well ahead of schedule.
So dear readers, keep watch for an interview with Jillian on the 22nd, a steamy excerpt that is guaranteed to leave you wanting more, and as it's been way too long since we've had a hot shirtless guy on this blog, here is Jillian's inspiration for Dario:

Ms Tamsin Jones1, Professor Ramon Shaban1,2, Professor Kate Curtis1
1Sydney Nursing School, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia, 2Marie Bashir Institute for Infectious Diseases and Biosecurity, Westmead Institute for Medical Research, Westmead Institute for Medical Research, Australia
Background: Emergency nursing is unique. Patients of any age present to emergency care environments, generally undiagnosed, and thus there is gross need for suitably trained emergency nurses to safely and efficiently assess and manage care. Staff working in rural and remote areas are further challenged with limited staff and facilities, yet are still required to assess and manage undiagnosed and potentially life-threatening patient complaints. Specialist education in emergency nursing contributes to the skilled workforce, that ultimately improves patient outcomes however preliminary studies indicate there is variability in Australian graduate programs.
Method: A document analysis of all Australian post-graduate emergency programs was conducted in September 2017. These findings informed the development of semi-structured interviews. All Australian post-graduate emergency nursing course conveyors (n=14) were identified and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 key informants in 2018. Interview data was analysed using a five-step framework approach.
Results: Eight key characteristics were identified and aligned to academic or professional features. Five academic features were determined: course entry, funding sources, mode of program delivery, volume of learning and clinical assessments. Three professional characteristics were found: employment requirements, expectations of the graduate and influence of industry and professional engagement
Discussion: The findings are the first documented academic and professional characteristics of graduate emergency nursing programs across Australia. In the absence of nationally defined graduate emergency nursing outcomes and attributes, it is plausible that the effect of these variances could impact workforce and patient safety.
Conclusion: The findings further support the need for the establishment of minimum practice standards for Australian graduate emergency nursing programs.
Tamsin is a PhD Candidate at the Sydney Nursing School, University of Sydney. Her PhD is seeking to develop minimum practice standards for students who complete their post-graduate studies in emergency nursing. When not working on her PhD, Tamsin works as an academic in a Victorian university and casually in a Melbourne ED. Tamsin is also kept very busy with her three three young children, husband and fur child.

This has all gone to hell this month. My total mileage for the entire month of January is a little over 45 miles and I have not taken one step so far this month. It is not helping that I have strep throat AGAIN and feel like crap. Plus when I do feel better I have other obligations to catch up on. AND snow and cold temperatures are predicted for the next several days. boohoo.
Spring and good health will not arrive soon enough for me.
On the art front, the opening reception for the group show of the Memphis Association of Craft Artists, at the Jewish Community Center, went very well last Sunday. My friends showed up (yeah!) and there were some sales of artists works--not mine (boohoo) and Vincent behaved like a good boy.
The quilt I am making for the guild challenge is coming along. I have been working on it only at the Monday thing, see a previous post about that, so progress has been delayed because of my absence from there. The quilts are due on the 22nd of February and I'm hoping there will not be a President's Day holiday at the center as that will throw a rather large monkey wrench into my plans. But I will endeavor to finish this project, mainly because of my protestant upbringing (which a lot of days I wish I could overcome).
If you go to my friend Patricia's blog you can find the story of her progress on her challenge offering. It is a lot more interesting than anything here. Just click on the link to Sew What's Next on my blog list. I would make it a "hot" link in this post, but I don't know how.
My next project involves some Amish style piecing, which will be done on Mondays. I will post photos of that during the construction and photos of the challenge quilt after February 22nd.

Building together with partners
Two exciting new partnerships
At Yolt we believe that things are best shaped together. That's why we partner with companies who share our passion for developing customer centric solutions to offer you the smartest money app on the market. Today, we're proud to announce two partnerships joining the Yolt journey.
The first is Runpath. With their expertise, we can offer you the ability to compare your gas and electricity bills.
As you may have noticed in the Actions Tab, Yolt gives you an overview of your bills and subscriptions across your accounts. Here, you can see when and how much you are paying for your Utilities, Gym, Netflix, Insurance,… and keep track of their renewal dates. We thought that the natural next step should then be to look for better deals on these things- to see if you could save money or get better benefits.
So, via our partner Runpath, this is now possible for your gas and electricity bills. You're able to compare the major UK suppliers and see whether there is a more attractive offer on the market for you. On most occasions it's easy to switch online to a new contract.
Currently, this is just the first step and I'm keen to know whether you like it, so we can improve this feature and start to compare more products through Yolt in the near future.
Our second partnership is with Moneytis. We met these guys while we were sharing an office space at the ING innovation centre in Amsterdam. The idea behind their start-up was part of the ING Innovation Studio and aims to become the booking.com of international money transfers.
Moneytis helps you find the best way to transfer money abroad quickly and inexpensively- a great asset to the Yolt platform. Currently, we're working hard to have this feature available in Yolt for you. We'll keep you posted and let you know as soon as it's ready to start using.
On the lookout for more partners
We are always on the lookout for partners who can help shape our smart money platform. If you have a product which is a great fit for us, let's connect. Drop us an email via firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll buy you the first coffee.
Enjoy your day,
Frank Jan

The reporter suggests with the headline she writes that you and I cannot get a loan if we have less than a 720 score.

Hello to everybody, today I will make an introduction to my trading strategy and how i find stocks for my watchlist, so let's start .
Trading intraday I will folow this simple rules :
- Stock selection :
- Stock have a clear move, with higher highs(HH) and higher lows(HL) for uptrend and lower highs(LH) and lower lows(LH) for downtrend, on the daily chart.
- If the market goes up continuing to make HH and HL , i will give priority to strong stocks on the way up as long as they continue to make HH, HL and vice versa for market going down.
- Always give priority market to leaders.
Every monday I will post a list of stocks that I follow.
Example of strong stock :
Example of weak stock :
- Entry point :
- Always trade versus a level.
- Stock is showing relative strength/weakness.
- Trade continuation setups only if stock is at all time hi. (long in bullish market)
- Always buy/short from a pullin/pullback.
For a list of patterns that I trade you can visit the http://chartpattern.com/
The way I trade and my approach to uptrending markets differs greatly from downtrending ones. Markets go down a lot quicker then they go up. I am a lot more aggressive when playing the downside (more size intraday) and more patient (buying more pullins, adding as stocks come out of bullish patterns) when buying stocks in an uptrending market.

The Korean Resource Center (KRC) organized two protests at the office of Representative Mimi Walters (R-45) in collaboration with other local political groups on Friday Oct. 3 and Thursday Oct. 9. The protests were attempts to bring awareness to the DREAM Act and to demand a response from Walters on the issue.
Under their #Citizenship4All campaign, the organization hopes to encourage the passage of a clean DREAM Act before the end of the year, which would provide a temporary legislative solution to the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), until a more permanent piece of legislation could be passed to ensure the rights and protection of residents who relied on DACA.
A sizable group of protesters arrived both days, standing and later sitting outside of the lobby area of Walters' office, holding signs, chanting and beating on drums and various other handheld instruments to amplify their sound and attract attention. Various protesters wore signs labeled, "Protect Our Youth" on their shirts, in solidarity with those affected by the announcement by President Trump on Sept. 5 that he intended to discontinue DACA.
On Oct. 3, various participants in the protest arrived mid-morning and gave testimonies on why they believed the DREAM Act should be passed and demanded action from Walters.
Carlos Perea from Resilience OC addressed protesters, saying, "It takes a lot of courage to be out here; it takes a lot of courage to tell our stories. But more importantly, it is important that we continue to remind these elected officials that we will not be quiet… Orange County [is] changing… we are becoming more inclusive, that we are not allowing hate, that we are not going to tolerate white supremacy."
"I have to say here: I am undocumented, I am unafraid and all of you that are here that are undocumented and unafraid, let's continue this fight…" he said, concluding his speech.
"My parents are not criminals. My parents loved me and that's why they brought me here and I will fight for my parents; I am not afraid because I have the support of many people behind me," Rosa Rodriguez, a protester, also said to the group.
The sit-in on Thursday started again outside but quickly moved inside as protesters rushed past security guards when several protesters managed to open the building doors from the inside.
They entered to demand a meeting or appointment with Walters to discuss the DREAM Act and for her to face and address the demands of her constituents, something Walters and her office have long refused to acknowledge or respond to.
The two guards at the lobby doors were quickly overtaken and protesters occupied the lobby area, chanting in call-and-response style: "What do we want? DREAM Act. When do we want it? Now," later, doing the same chant in Spanish. Organizers also invited media into the lobby to film the protest. The group did not advance beyond the lobby area before turning around and exiting the building.
Police later arrived on scene, clearing protesters out and making arrests, including the arrest of at least one KRC organizer.
KRC continues to campaign for the DREAM Act, canvassing on college campuses and encouraging students to write to their representatives in support of the legislation.

Rate Quoting Software - Access DB with Standalone Frontend
I have a rate quoting spreadsheet that I want to distrubute. I would like to create a program based upon this spreadsheet that will interface with an Access Database that will hold the data. I will require a serial number built to have the frontend disable itself after a specified time to prevent people from using it past a date to prevent old rates being quoted. I will require a serial generator to produce the new serial numbers. It would be very helpful if the serial generator was written using Excel or a program that can be run from my Pocket PC. If the generator is made with Excel, it must be able to be used with Pocket versions of Excel. There are several reports, and options that will be required for input and export, as well as a method of adding, changing, or editing; rates, benefits and companies that will be used in the program. I would like to see the ability to create new companies, plans and benefits pages by allowing the user to add them and have the new information be added to the reports. Also, exported for distrobution. The reports are static, but would like to be able to add new one's that I see fit. An options page will be needed to set the data up (i.e. ages, kids, plans, additions. etc...) This information will be used to create the reports numbers and default sorting of the premiums or companies. Currently there are five reports that will need to be created, but more might follow (additional reports should be charged hourly?). Should you need more information please contact me. Bidding will be short, due to time contraints. Once a bid is accepted, time will be second to accuracy (unlike my spelling).
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
## Platform
Windows 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, ME, XP. A torn down version for Pocket PC 2002 that would only show the rates would be a great factor in the winning bid, but not completely required.
## Deadline information
Coders only in US, Canada Please.

10 Things You Should Know About Becky Lynch
While she may not have the last names of Charlotte Flair or Natalya Neidhart, Becky is as close as it gets to a female version of your typical indy darling like AJ Styles, Austin Aries and Samoa Joe. The diversity of her resume can give those guys a run for their money any day of the week. After expanding out of Ireland, she wrestled in Japan, a number of US indies including Shimmer Women Athletes (where she was a manager for Paige), ECCW in Canada, Queens of Chaos in France and German Stampede. The latter is a whole other story on its own.

Funding to 'SPARK' business development, entrepreneurship
By G. Michael Dobbs
HOLYOKE – Janet Crespo Santana, a culinary arts instructor and
Dean Technical High School
, knows her sofrito – the pepper-based ingredient that is a staple of Latino cooking – is a good product. She currently sells it to 30 clients, but she readily admitted she needs access to the professional kitchen and a business mentor to bring her sofrito to its full market potential.
Santana was one of the Holyoke entrepreneurs who spoke at a meeting with
Boston Federal Reserve Bank
President Eric Rosengren on May 20. Rosengren was in the city meeting with Mayor Alex Morse and Chamber of Commerce officials as part of the
Working Cities Challenge
grant award to the city by the Boston Fed.
Gerardo Ramos explained that out of his love for the ocean and his childhood experiences in Puerto Rico, he has developed a business in Holyoke that grows coral, which is used in saltwater aquarium tanks. He has had success selling the living coral to pet stores and he said, "It's a market out there that is crazy."
With the money he has earned he has made three trips to Puerto Rico restoring the coral reef he knew as a boy.
Ramos said though he is facing a number of changes. He has a lack of formal education – he's a self-taught marine biologist – and he received no help in applying to the permits he needs to sell the coral. He said that cultural bias is also a real problem.
"We need encouragement, not judgment," he said.
Rosengren said that he had "very engaged discussion" with business people and city officials during the day. He explained the Boston Fed's involvement in trying to understand how to make an impact in reducing "concentrated poverty" started years ago.
He explained that economists looked at statistics coming from communities that had seen a positive reversal of fortunes, but what they discovered was that success "wasn't about the numbers."
He said what was typical in turn-around communities was "a common vision in the community."
Holyoke was selected out of the 20 applicants for Working Cities Challenge, which will give the city $250,000 divided over three years. The program is designed to increase the collaborative leadership in Massachusetts smaller cities and to support work to improve the lives of low-income people in those cities.
In Holyoke, the monies will be used to fund the SPARK Initiative (Stimulating Potential, Accessing Resource Knowledge), which will help make business development easier by linking it to adult basic education resources to produce an entrepreneurship and micro-enterprise assistance program.
Rosengren said the fact the Holyoke application stressed helping entrepreneurship within the city's Innovation district and among Latinos made it different.
"It's very exciting to use entrepreneurship as a topic," he said.
He noted the $250,000 award is not permanent funding and that if successful the SPARK Initiative will be self-funded in the future.

Zelyak V. G., Pustovoyt G. A. Methodological approaches to the Dal`stroi studies (.pdf)
The article examines the conceptual ideas of the studies of the Dal'stroi historical phenomenon. As one of the largest divisions of the NKVD (the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs) and MVD (the Ministry of Internal Affairs, since 1946) system, the Dal'stroi produced gold and other valuable metals mining in the north of the Russian Far-East in the 1930-s – 1950-s. The scholars used the theoretical basis of the totalitarianism conception, the modernization theory, informative possibilities of economic geography, systems approach, comparative analysis, and other methods. Different approaches and the distinctions in understanding the essence of historical processes became visible. The problem of the Dal'stroi's typicality or uniqueness for the 1930s – 1950s was unresolved by the researchers. To understand the essence of the Dal'stroi's phenomenon, such concepts as an "integrated plant" (integrated industrial complex), "super-organization", and "state monopoly" were introduced intothe historical science. The epoch of the Dal'stroi was defined as the period of "transformations of backward periphery into the industrially-developed region", as the stage of "the second wave of colonization", as the period when "the extraordinary model of achieving the stage of early industrialization" was implemented in the region. The generalization of the various researches' basic results allowed to offer new perspective directions in studying the historical phenomenon of the Dal'stroi. The original results will be achieved by using the methodology of the mobilization approach. The actual expansion of the studies is represented also within the limits of social history, academic biography, and gender approach.
Key words: the Dal'stroi, industrialization, Stalinism, totalitarianism, modernization theory, methodology of history.

Team Rwanda cyclist Bonaventure Uwizeyimana has joined Canada's Lowestrates.Ca cycling team just a week after winning the 'Race to Remember', the third race on this year's Rwanda Cycling Cup.
The development was confirmed on Sunday by his new club, which released a statement on their website announcing that the former Dimension Data for Qhubeka rider has joined them but without disclosing his contract details.
However, like most of his compatriots, who joined professional teams before him, he is expected to be given an initial one year.
The reigning national champion, who left Kigali on Sunday to Canada, will be will be on the starting line when LowestRates.ca starts the International Grand Prix de Saguenay and the Tour de Beauce, two International Cycling Union (UCI)-sanctioned races, which will be held in June.
Commenting on his arrival, team LowestRates.ca General Manager Frédérick Gates said that, "I had discussed the possibility of inviting a Rwandan rider to join my team with the Team Rwanda programme during our visit in Rwanda last November."
"The project was formalised last week. "BONA" is a complete cyclist. He climbs well and has the ability to finish strong in the sprint. He has good international racing and life experience. I have no doubt that he will contribute to the success of our team," he stated.
Lowestrates.ca were among the teams that debuted at last year's Tour du Rwanda and had a very strong maiden campaign with their own Timothy Rugg winning the 3.3km prologue before clinching the third stage also known as the 'Kivu-Belt'.
The former Club Benediction rider Uwizeyimana was released towards the end of last year by Dimension Data along with his compatriot and 2016 Tour du Rwanda winner, Valens Ndayisenga. They were replaced by the duo of two rising stars Joseph Areruya and Samuel Mugisha.
In March, Ndayisenga joined Austria UCI continental team of Tirol Cycling Team while Uwizeyimana has been riding for his home club Benediction de Rubavu.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Ornamental squash and gourd Thanksgiving table arrangements are an American tradition. Cornucopias are available in a variety of sizes and adorn dining room tables during the holiday festivities.
Church members and visitors enter through welcoming vestibules.
They frequently view cornucopia-horn of plenty arrangements where they enter and in the sanctuary.
The cornucopia is a symbol of a bountiful harvest, serving as a reminder of how much the heavenly Father blesses us through fruit and produce of the land.
With grateful heart, I pray that you and I will be cornucopia Christians, filled to overflowing with fruit of the Spirit.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23 HCS)."
We have Christ's promise of an abundant life; He is pleased when we as His followers blend in unity to bear fruit and demonstrate His love.
[Image:Vintage Postcards]
Turkey is the star of the Thanksgiving Day menu and will soon make guest appearances on America's dining room tables.
Who gets the drumstick?
Our generation selects most turkeys from a grocer's freezer section. For the most part, the days of hunting wild turkeys with bow and arrow are only a faint memory.
My memory takes me back to the late 1950's. Our neighbors, the Wells family, owned a turkey farm. The fowls were brilliant white but their odor was foul (to say the least).
On Thanksgiving Day, Mom's kitchen smelled scrumptious. Scents of freshly butter-basted turkey, homemade dressing, turnips, pumpkin and mince pies were tantalizing.
I wonder…
Are our prayers of thanksgiving a pleasing aroma to the Father?
"May my prayer be counted as incense before Thee; the lifting up of my hands as the evening offering (Psalms 141:2 NAS)."
{Dad, Franklin F. Ford}
The reason is easily discerned.
Our veterans once stood tall and trustworthy in uniform.
Will we stand silent to the sacrifices they made for our freedom?
Israel had a decided advantage; a vast army of valiant men provided protection.
"The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war (1 Chronicles 5:18 NKJ)."
There is strength in numbers but God's power is greater still.
"…they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him (1 Chronicles 5:20b NKJ)."

Hi everyone,
This week's Project Spotlight is on Student Tutoring, a project that lets students go to local primary, secondary and SEN schools to help out in the classroom. I started volunteering with this project this academic year, because I wanted to get some classroom experience before I begin Teach First in September. I volunteer every Monday afternoon with two year 4 classes at Finham Primary School!
This week I was working on poetry with the children. The children had been given a Roald Dahl poem The Pig, and they had to change the words around to make their own new poems. (Here's a link to the poem if you are interested: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-pig/) They were going to be writing up and doing the drawings for their poem on the next day, and they would be performing them the day after- I was helping them be creative and think up ideas for their poem! One child I worked with, Lola, was really imaginative and we had a good time coming up with her poem. I was trying to let her express herself creatively, so I asked her questions about the subject of her poem, the stupidest of stupid dogs where he lives, bone land (a sort of theme park for dogs who like bones!) and what he likes, stinky bones! To help her make the poem rhyme, we tried to think of 5 words that rhymed with the last word of the previous sentence, Fly: shy, spy, bye, lie, pie, Lola picked her favourite, spy and then came up with the idea for a sentence using that word (which I think was, but he wasn't a very sneaky spy)- and then we worked together to make it fit! Lola also began to understand the rhythm of the poem really well, we would tap on the table as we said the poem, to see if we needed to add or take away any extra syllables. Lola was really happy with her poem by the end of our time working together- and already had plans on how she was going to draw bone land!
I've only been at the school for 2 weeks, but already some of the children are really eager to work with me when I get there, and the teacher, Miss Fox, has really helped me to integrate myself into the classroom!
After volunteering there on Monday, I had a little chat with the headmaster at Finham primary, Mr Machin, about how Student Tutors have made an impact in the school. Here's what he had to say:
Student Tutors are real role models at Finham Park. They help children see that a student is not just a student, but a citizen, and it makes children want to give back. In fact many volunteers have themselves been inspired by volunteers, some from Warwick Volunteers, and so it creates a very positive loop. But the real power is in the inspiration you give to the children here. 50% of the time it is not a teacher or a parent who inspires a child, but a touchable role model- and that is what Student Tutors are: real active role models.
I also asked Mr Machin about a time when a Warwick Volunteer has made a really positive impact on some students at Finham Primary
About 2 years ago we had a volunteer with us called James who did Right to Read with some year 6 boys. I asked him to pick his favourite book, The Hobbit, and to read this with the children. The change was fantastic. The boys had been disengaged readers, and after some weeks with James they were buzzing to read, and got great SATs results at the end of the year. These boys are now in year 8, and they still have a love for reading! This was a really important mind shift for them, and James was definitely a key factor in reigniting their passion for reading.
I also spoke with Project Leader Vedika who said,
Having volunteered with the project in my second year, I wanted to be involved in a larger capacity. I think I have an affinity with this particular project because it is involved with education and development of children. Especially for young children, I know from my own experience, every bit of interaction they have with a teacher is vital in their progress, and every interaction is remembered. I clearly remember a lot of the things that my teachers had told me, and I love that I am able to have that impact on someone else.
Student Tutoring also enables students to volunteer in SEN (Special Educational Needs) schools. Jane is a Project Leader for SEN schools, she said,
I decided to apply for project leader role as I wanted to take on a greater role in helping the community. I wanted to encourage students to take part in volunteering, as many do not know of the crucial skills set that you can takeaway from teaching or assisting in a classroom. One of the main reasons why I applied for PL is also because I volunteered at a special needs school in my first year and it was such an eye opening experience that I think university students should have at some point during university. It taught me to be empathetic, to listen intently and to be giving. I would never forget this enriching learning experience.
I hope you've enjoyed the blog! If you want to find out more about Student Tutoring you can visit the Project page here: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/about/community/volunteers/volunteering/tutoring

Untitled2, 2nd wash with lettering
Sat, Apr 27 2013 03:25 | poem painting | Permalink
Still not happy with it, but now I get where it is going.
Untitled2, 2nd wash with lettering, daylight photo, 2013, 24" x 30", ink and oils on stretched canvas.
As ever, the colour has faded out as the painting dries. So that has to be worked on. Probably, because of the poem fragment that I chose (from my Suite of Botticelli Venus Poems), which I had forgotten about but which my 'text edit' file reminded me of this morning, she will have to remain quite whitish, almost transparent.
Painting is like dreaming. You dream without really knowing where the images come from, or how they are created by your mind. Likewise with painting - you know you're doing it, but you don't often know what it's about while you are doing it. The painting arises as if from a dream.
I am only now dimly aware of what I am doing with this painting. It's too pretty. But then again, it is a kind of Circe image of the Botticelli Venus type, and that's not pretty at all.___

ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITIES OF BLACK AND GREEN KOMBUCHA TEAS - BATTIKH - 2012 - Journal of Food Biochemistry - Wiley Online Library
Drinking kombucha will not 'give you' a yeast infection....
This recent research is very worth reading - Journal of Food Biochemisty (2012). Researchers, Battikh, Chaieb & Ammar, screened kombucha fermented black tea for antibacterial and anti-fungal activity against a range of human pathogenic bacteria and candida yeasts.
The results show that after 21 days of fermentation, kombucha exerted considerable antimicrobial activity. This was particularly evident against all the tested bacteria (ie. Staphylococcus, E.Coli and Listeria). Kombucha also showed considerable antifungal activity against most of the pathogenic Candida yeasts tested (but some more than others). The tricky thing in relation to candida though, is that when tested for candida people get a diagnosis of 'candida' without knowing what range of stains they actually have. Hence, some people benefit more from kombucha than others. The research is really worth a read.

It's being reported that Bray Wyatt was not at all upset about getting a black eye from Ric Flair during a live event this past weekend. Wyatt was reportedly just happy to work with Flair and didn't make a big deal about his eye injury at all.
It's also being reported that Bray's laid-back reaction to it, among other things, has earned him a lot of respect in the WWE locker room. Even a lot of the veteran stars have been very impressed with Bray's work ethic and his attitude.
