Came across something a bit odd the other day. I was Googling something (I forget what), and I Googled Jeopardy-style (i.e., in the form of a question). I often do this (oddly, I find most people I talk to don't realize that you can) and I invariably get good results.
Anyway, this particular time the question I was typing started simply with the word 'does'. For some reason, after typing 'does' and hitting the spacebar, I looked up at the screen. I saw that the Google search bar (in an attempt to be helpful) had dropped down a list of search terms starting with 'does'. I assume that the list becomes populated in a similar fashion to any Google page – i.e., the result of indexed internet traffic. In the case of the search bar, though, it stands to reason that it would be populated by an index of the terms searched for, rather than an index of what's available on the web.
So – if you stop to think about it – that drop-down list is a little window into the current popular psyche. In many ways, it's telling us what's on the mind of the internet. So – of course – I just had to play around with this a bit.
In true Freudian fashion, I have decided to divide my findings into three basic categories (Id, Ego and Super-Ego), each of which is represented by a single search term ('does', 'why' and 'should', respectively), and here are the results:
So there you have it. Today's quick peek into the seedy underside of the popular psyche. I assume that the lists I got today are different than the ones I would have gotten last month, as well as the ones I would get next month. It stands to reason that the lists would be as fluid and changeable as the psyche that produces them. Because of this, I think I'm going to have to keep an eye on this. It could be interesting.
Maybe I'll do this as a regular, weekly post. If so, I'll be sure to do it on Monday, when the popular psyche is still reeling from all the hopes and regrets of the weekend.

The Secret Beach of Colomitos
Hotel & Resort Velas Resorts Bobbi Dempsey September 07, 2016
There are many exciting things to do in Puerto Vallarta, from shopping and nightlife to viewing all of the amazing beauty Mother Nature has provided. And, of course, one of the main attractions of the area is the abundance of great beaches that offer a place to catch some rays or watch the water.
One challenge for beachgoers, though, is to find a spot in the sand that is beautiful yet not overcrowded with others who are also seeking a seaside refuge. The locals know there is a way to achieve that goal. This insider's secret to finding your own quiet piece of tropical paradise in Puerto Vallarta?
Heading to Colomitos Beach.
This little slice of beach heaven may not be huge, but that's one thing fans love about it. Its small size allows this beach to enjoy relative anonymity, hiding away like a treasured jewel that is only discovered by people in the know.
For the best accommodations in Puerto Vallarta that put you in close proximity to this nirvana of sand and sea, check out Velas Resorts.
Remaining a sort of mystery has allowed Colomitos Beach to retain its pristine beauty. Relatively undisturbed from its natural state, it offers about 100 feet of clean, golden sand—and no crowds of tourists!
You get access to warm, tranquil waters and as much solitude and quiet peacefulness as you want. It's as close as you can get to having your own private beach on which to escape from the stress and activity of your day.
READ MORE: Why Kids Will Never Be Bored At Velas Resorts
Be warned—it will take a little bit of work to reach this little-known paradise. But it's worth the effort. (And besides, if it were easy to find, everyone would be there.) The easiest way to get there is via water taxi, followed by a short walk. Or if you are more ambitious and energetic, you could also hike the entire way.
Once you arrive, you will quickly forget that part, though, because you will immediately feel all of your worries and stress melt away as you take in the incredible views. The seaside landscape stretches across the horizon as far as the eye can see. You'll also be surrounded by unspoiled nature, and all types of exotic wildlife that would be difficult to find in more heavily populated areas.
Since you are literally steps from the water, this is a great place to do some snorkeling, kayaking or swimming. Exploring the jungle surroundings can also be exciting, as you can discover waterfalls, hidden paths and other wonders of nature.
If you work up an appetite with all of this activity, you're in luck. You might be surprised to learn that there is a dining option available here — and it too is a hidden gem. Perched above the water, the Ocean Grill Restaurant & Beach Club offers some of the best fare around.
Then again, you may want to relish in the opportunity to do nothing at all. One of the benefits of being among the few people who discover this beach is that you can just chill out and relax, meditating in the silence. It's a great place to catch some rays in a Zen environment.
You might be tempted to tell the world about this top-secret utopia you were lucky enough to enjoy — but of course, the locals would probably prefer that you kept this knowledge to yourself.

London, UK. 9 April, 2010
Cyberoam, a leading provider of Identity-based gateway and endpoint security, is now a member of the Internet Watch Foundation – the UK-based internet hotline to combat criminal online content, primarily child sexual abuse images hosted around the world.
Elitecore's product, Cyberoam Unified Threat Management solution, will now include IWF's list of child sexual abuse URLs in its Content Filtering engine database to combat criminal online content. Cyberoam's powerful web filtering has one of the industry's best and most comprehensive URL databases that secures organizations worldwide against potentially criminal or dangerous websites.
Abhilash Sonwane, VP – Product Management, Cyberoam, says, "The IWF is doing an outstanding job by assisting law enforcement agencies in preventing access to illegal online content and bringing those involved in operating these websites, to justice. By joining hands with the IWF, Elitecore pledges its support to this cause. As a member of the IWF, we will be playing a significant role in protecting children, especially those in the educational institutions in UK, from sexually abusive content."
Peter Robbins OBE, QPM, Chief Executive, IWF says: "Elitecore joins over 100 companies in the UK and around the world in helping to combat criminal content on the internet. This is a global challenge and by working in partnership with so many we can continue to effectively diminish the volume and availability of child sexual abuse images on the internet. We are very pleased to welcome Elitecore as members of the Internet Watch Foundation and look forward to working together in the future."
About the IWF
IWF was established in 1996 by the UK internet industry and works in partnership with the wider online industry, law enforcement, government, the education sector, charities, international partners and the public to minimise the availability of content within its remit. As a result of this self-regulatory approach, less than 1% of online child sexual abuse content has apparently been hosted in the UK since 2003, down from 18% in 1997.
Through the internet hotline reporting system, the IWF helps the online industry combat abuse of its services through a 'notice and take-down' initiative by alerting them to potentially criminal content within IWF's remit on their systems and enabling the police to investigate those responsible. This self-regulatory partnership approach is widely recognised as a model of good practice in combating the abuse of technology for the dissemination of illegal content.

Volatility shook Chinese stock markets today, as the Shanghai index dropped more than three percent on concerns over regulatory uncertainty and slowing growth before recovering, a day after authorities halted trading to arrest falling prices.
The Shanghai market slumped 6.86 per cent yesterday after the release of weak manufacturing data heightened worries about the health of the world's second-largest economy, sparking a wave of selling of global equities.
A new "circuit breaker" mechanism aimed at curbing sharp swings went into effect, closing markets early, but analysts said its introduction added to traders' nervousness, prompting them to sell rather than risk being caught with holdings they could not dispose of.
"The main reason for yesterday's fall was concern that China's economy won't steadily pick up. The circuit breaker was more of an accelerant for the fall," Northeast Securities analyst Shen Zhengyang told AFP.
"Today's (Tuesday's) low should be the lowest point for the short term."
By the break on Tuesday, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index was up 0.41 per cent, or 13.66 points, at 3,309.92 after falling as low as 3.18 per cent in morning trade.
The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, was down 0.53 per cent, or 11.23 points, at 2,107.93, gaining back most lost ground after slipping 5.03 percent at one point.
Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index dipped 3.64 points to 21,323.48 by lunch -- having swung in and out of positive territory through the morning.
The market watchdog, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), sought to calm the panic by defending the circuit breaker.
Under the system, a five percent drop in the CSI300 index, which covers both bourses, triggers an automatic 15-minute trading halt. A fall of seven percent closes the exchanges for the rest of the day.
"The circuit breaker has a big impact in stabilising the market and its main function is to provide a 'cooling off period' for the market to avoid or reduce rushed decisions made during wide swings," it said in a statement on its
verified microblog.
The CSRC also addressed Friday's looming expiry of a ban on share sales by owners of more than five percent of a company -- introduced in July to help defend prices against a market rout.
The watchdog announced it was formulating regulations on major shareholders' selling, but said the rules will be announced "soon", leaving open whether the ban will be lifted in line with the original deadline.

Middle Stone Farm
UK England South West England Somerset Taunton
Middle Stone Farm in Somerset is open all year round offering a choice of quirky and very comfortable accommodation. In its own private corner of the farm, a wooden cabin called The Deckhouse can be booked on its own or, if you're quick, together with the rest of the site to accommodate larger groups. The whitewashed cabin works well for both couples and families, with a king-sized bed and mini bunk room (suitable for two young children), while a large, open plan living space has a slightly retro feel. It makes a beautiful contrast with the modern shower room and smart new wood-burner that gives added warmth to the airy interior. Plus, of course there's another wood-fired hot tub just outside, complete with a barbecue area, log store and views across the farmland.
The Stable Cottage is a more conventional option, also sleeping up to four people. This is furnished with a mix of traditional and contemporary furniture – comfy sofas, colourful rugs and pictures, along with a slate floor and beams in the open-plan living room. It too has a wood-burning stove, modern kitchen, and uncluttered bedrooms with brass bedsteads and colourful quilts. Outside on the private terrace is a raised patio with private hot tub, barbecue and views around the farm. The cottage is dog friendly at certain times of the year.
Their six safari lodges are open from Spring to November. It's fitting that Middle Stone Farm decided to name the three lodges in their first field after birds of prey – Buzzard, Hawk and Kestrel. The second field of lodges opened in 2018 and are named Badger, Fox and Stag. Firmly at the upper end of the luxury scale, the safari tents feature everything you could possibly need beneath the forest green wingspan of their canvas roofs, including some added luxuries, like wood fired hot tubs outside, perfect for star spotting at night. At the heart of each tent is the wood-burning stove – a source of heat but also great for cooking on – and there's even a small fridge beneath the aptly named 'cupboard bed': a two-person cubbyhole in the wall that children particularly adore. Each tent has an en-suite shower room at the far end, while, out front, the large sun deck reveals far-reaching views towards the Somerset hills. Three of the lodges are also dog friendly at certain times of the year.
Evening campfires remind guests that, despite all the luxuries, this is still very much a camping holiday. The farm shop is open from Spring to November and sells local produce, including artisan beers, interesting breads, fine wines and home-cooked dishes. The emphasis is on low food miles but all the essentials are stocked too. Wood-fired pizzas are available in to groups too. For a proper pint, though, it's a fair trek along the Somerset footpaths (three-and-a-half miles) to the nearest local watering hole. But then, the real gift of this glampsite is its off-the-beaten track location. Hop in to the car to get to the West Somerset beaches, drive the 20 minutes to the Quantock Hills, explore the nearby market town of Taunton or cycle into the fringes of Exmoor National Park three miles away. Off the track it may be, but you needn't drive far for heaps of options.
Our Coronavirus Booking Guarantee
Book with complete confidence at Middle Stone Farm with the I Love This Campsite Coronavirus Booking Guarantee. We guarantee the following clear policy for your booking:
- A low deposit of 20% to secure your booking
- Balance due 10 days before your holiday
- Complete flexibility to move bookings for up to 18 months in the event of Coronavirus restrictions
- Due to the flexibility provided we are unable to offer refunds
- This guarantee supersedes any other policies
FacilitiesMiddle Stone Farm has 6 safari lodges - 3 in two separate fields. There is also a bespoke wooden cabin called The Deckhouse and stable conversion cottage. Each accommodation has a wood fired hot tub (optional extra). Five of the safari tents sleep 6 guests in a king room, twin room and cabin bed and Stag Lodge sleeps 8. All the accommodation has private bathrooms with flushing loos and hot showers. Bedlinen and towels are provided. The kitchens in the safari lodges are well equipped with fridge/freezer, electricity and large Aga style wood burning stove. Logs are provided for free for use within the safari tents and the Deckhouse Cabin. There is a single electrical socket for charging phones and 4G reception. The Stable Cottage has WiFi. The on-site shop sells local food, farm produce, wine, local beer and cider, as well as basic groceries. BBQs are provided and firebaskets are available for campfires (wood can be bought on site for this). Laundry and babysitting service available. Farm tours from Spring to October. Lots of animals to see, two play areas.
Suitable ForGlamping only. Couples, families, friends, large groups to hire the whole site (up to 50 guests) – yes. Tents, campervans and caravans – no.
NearbyIt's 3 miles to Exmoor National Park (01398 323665), home to some of the finest walking in the country, with Tarr Steps a particularly good route for families. A little further north and you end up at the seaside, overlooking the Bristol Channel. Kilve beach, an area of Special Scientific Interest, is a top spot to go searching for fossils, while the sandy beach at Blue Anchor Bay is also popular – backed by the Smugglers Inn (01984 640385), serving excellent fish and chips. Within the national park, Porlock and Lynton are also particularly stunning areas of the coast. The National Trust owned wild garden at Fyne Court is hidden away in the nearby Quantock Hills, just east of the campsite, and 11th-century Dunster Castle (01643 821314), surrounded by a charming medieval village, is also within half an hour.
Food & DrinkYou can order homemade meals, breakfast hampers and meat from the farm. The farm's honesty shop is open from April to October. Every Saturday until midday there is a farmers' market at Wiveliscombe (8 minute drive).

After getting lost on the Moors, she meets a sensitive pop singer from America who helps her to phone home and from that fateful encounter, a romance ensues. The upcoming storyline will be sure to twitch everyone's net curtains.

Suppose we have n elements, a1, a2, ..., an, arranged in a circle. That is, a2 is between a1 and a3, a3 is between a2 and a4, an is between an-1 and a1, and so forth.
Each element can take the value of either 1 or 0. Two arrangements are different if there are corresponding ai's whose values differ. For instance, when n=3, (1, 0, 0) and (0, 1, 0) are different arrangements, even though they may be isomorphic under rotation or reflection.
Because there are n elements, each of which can take two values, the total number of arrangements is 2n.
Here is the question:
How many arrangements are possible, such that no two adjacent elements both have the value 1? If it helps, only consider cases where n>3.
I ask here for several reasons:
- This arose while I was solving a programming problem
- It sounds like the problem may benefit from Boolean logic/bit arithmetic
- Maybe there is no closed solution.

Last Will and Testament
I bequeath my steak knives
to all the men I have ever loved.
May they divide them evenly.
I donate my ratty sheets and towels
to my neighbors to serve as shrouds.
My dryer lint goes to the fairies for their cathedrals.
The hand-scrawled missives intended
for my first love go to the smart, handsome
attorney in Miracle on 34th Street.
(He'll know what to do with them.)
To the sun, I give my bed warmer.
My sprinkler, I give to the rain.
My garbage cans go to the trash man
and any rope I have lying around here
goes to the one minding the gallows.
Undone to-do lists and scraps of paper
marked by unidentified phone numbers
go into bottles to be cast out to sea.
Dead batteries go to the Energizer Bunny
and worn extension cords go to a place
where electricity has yet to be invented.
Burnt-out light bulbs go to the ghost
of Thomas Alva Edison and frayed laces
go to the old woman who lived in a shoe.
My pail goes to Jack,
my broken crown to Jill,
and my fleece as white as snow
goes to Mary who sits by her little lamb
and knits me a fine sweater; a cardigan
to clothe me in the next life.

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
Machinists labor to produce precision parts for a variety of applications. In the production of precision parts, the surface finish of the part plays an integral role in the functionality of the component. Machinists have different tools that they use to determine the surface finish of the parts that they produce.
Electronic Gauges
Electronic gauges are used to measure the actual surface texture of a machined part. Two types of these gauges are used: velocity and displacement. The velocity, also known as an averaging type of gauge, uses a stylus that is drawn across a surface; the vertical moves of the stylus are amplified, recorded and sent to an averaging meter that provides a measurement of the roughness of the surface. Displacement, also known as a profiling type of gauge, is primarily used in laboratories for research and development work. This type of surface measuring tool requires a considerable amount of skill to use the tool and read the data produced.
Interference Microscopes
Interference microscopes use optics to measure a surface finish. An interference microscope allows measurement of the surface without actually touching the surface. These types of surface measuring systems are used in research laboratories, production lines in micro-optics and precision machining industries as well as various other applications.
Comparator Gauges
Comparator gauges allow machinists the ability to measure a surface finish through sight and touch. Comparator gauges come with precision reference specimens for the user to use in comparing surfaces. In checking surface measurements, the specimen is placed next to the work piece and examined visually or by touch as the user runs the tip of his fingernail across the workpiece and specimen. Some of these gauges come with a magnifying tool to help in discerning surface measurements.

What Articles are Popular on Facebook?
Each social network has its nuances. They are related to the news feed algorithm and the internal "corporate" style. If your posts do not fit into it, then it is likely that you will not be viewed as a peer. For example, long reads work well on Facebook. But this is not the only nuance that you need to know when generating content for this social network.
- What content will your Facebook followers like?
- What is good for Facebook?
- Facebook post success formula
- Conclusion
What content will your Facebook followers like?
Create intrigue in the first sentence. Do not use long introductions. In the first 200 – 250 characters write what you would like to say in the post. Do not forget to interest followers in the further reading the post. This is the main secret of the success of the content generating for this social network.
Useful article: "Running a Successful Business on Facebook"
What is good for Facebook?
Always write on your behalf. This, firstly, fits into the so-called Facebook corporate identity. Secondly, such posts will allow to promote your personal brand.
Would you like to know how to get more Facebook followers? Describe stories from your personal experience. Today is the storytelling time. People are eager to read stories and through such a tool you can sell and promote anything. Don't know what to write about? Check out what your competitors are writing, what they chat about in a smoking room, etc.
Do not forget to include nostalgia. Write about what you used to do, what worked and what didn't. It is not necessary to publish only positive bright posts. Your readers should see a living person with the successes and failures behind the lines of the article.
Use quotes of the great, but be sure to include your own opinion. Tell why this quote has affected you. Ask followers if this statement is true for them.
Facebook post success formula
In the beginning make a bright accent, then tell an interesting story. Try to develop a thought, and complete the post with a bright result. Mention interesting people in your posts. Do not be afraid to put links to their page. Encourage your followers to express their opinion about the individuals mentioned.
Lists are always popular. Do not forget about such an interesting tool for creating posts as ratings and TOPs. But if you make such a list, be sure to add something of your own. You can ask users to comment on your list or individual items. Such posts will add up to getting followers on Facebook.

Yesterday I was watching this video from Papertrey Ink about making a gift of bookplates. It reminded me that the last time I visited my mother-in-law she mentioned that she is forever loaning out books and not getting them back.
Since we are going to see them tonight, I thought I'd whip some up for her. However, I don't own any of the fun products used in that video. So I created my own bookplates using what I have on hand.
First I typed up my words in Word. Printed them on printer paper and made sure they fit within the stamps I own. Then I printed them on Stampin Up White Cardstock. I pulled out my old giant Xyron and added repositionable adhesive to the back of the entire sheet.
Since my Stampin Up images I was using were not clear, I used my Stamp-a-majig to get my placement right. Then I used my Framelits Labels collection to cut out the big bookplates and the "for you" on the front of the crayon box. Additionally, I used my Decorative Label punch for all of the smaller ones. The stamp sets I used were Apothecary Art and Four Frames.
Eventually, I had to figure out how to package them. So, I used the Crayon Box on my Tags,Bags, Boxes & More Cricut Cartridge at 5 inches with Real Dial size turned on. (I have no idea if that made any difference in the final size.)
I covered the front with paper from a boxed collection from K & Company. It only declares that it is "150 Classic Papers" and gives code 524446.
I hope she likes it!
The gift has 23 bookplates in it. It would have been 24 with six of each style but I messed up royally stamping one of the large Apothecary Art images.

Yesterday, I saw a friend's Instagram status with the caption "if travelling was free, you will never see me again". Sure, his dream is to travel the world, but little did he know that there are some countries he could travel to without going through the long process of getting a Visa. If you have a valid Nigerian international passport, forget about waking up while it is yet night, to join a long queue of people interested in getting a visa to UK, USA Australia or Canada. There are a number of countries Nigerians can travel to without a visa.
Learn More on: Southern Sun's Sunday Brunch
However, you must meet the eligibility requirements to get one.While some of these countries require that you obtain a visa immediately on arrival, some allow you stay for a specified period before you will be required to obtain a visa, and some will not even require that you obtain a visa, no matter how long you spend. These countries have a few things in place as a means of screening travellers. These include:
- Six months validity on your passport
- At least two blank visa pages on your passport
- Hotel/accommodation bookings throughout the duration of your stay
- Travel insurance in case of an emergency
- Valid ID card
- Evidence of sufficient funds
- Return Tickets
- Transit visa in case of a connecting flight
However, there are some countries that you can travel to without applying for a visa but you'll be asked to pay for the visa alongside the above requirement prior to your entry.

Rudy Guede Gets Out Of Prison Soon
The eight-year saga of trying to find who killed Meredith Kercher seemingly came to an end when Rudy Guede was convicted of the crime and sentenced to prison in 2008. While Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito both were convicted, acquitted, convicted again, and then finally exonerated of the murder charges, a court has never found Guede to be anything but guilty. Guede opted for a fast track trial in 2008 and was found responsible for the murder of Kercher and sentenced to 30 years behind bars. After an appeal, his guilty verdict stood, but his sentence was cut to 16 years. So when does Rudy Guede get out of prison?
Sooner than you'd think. The decision to reduce Guede's sentence to 16 years means that, if he serves his entire term, then he will be freed 16 years from when he was first sentenced in 2008 — meaning 2024. However, prisoners often don't serve their entire sentences. They can be let out early for good behavior, they can qualify for parole, and they can be sometimes be let out on a work release. And even though Guede was convicted of murder, he still qualifies for a number of these early release protocols, meaning there's a fair chance he'll be a free man before 2024.
Guede has been eligible for work release since 2014, meaning he would be free to leave prison to work or take classes during the day and would return at night, but reports conflict over whether or not he ever applied to do so. What isn't disputed though, is that in May of this year Guede was freed for a full 36 hours due to good behavior, according to The Independent. By all accounts, Guede has been a model citizen in prison, staying out of trouble while studying and working on art, according to The Daily Beast. And if Guede's good behavior continues, then he stands a pretty good shot at being released for good when he comes up for parole in 2018.
Yes, in two years Guede may walk free if he's granted parole. At most, he'll be in jail for another eight years if he goes on to serve his full sentence. In any case, it doesn't seem like a very long time behind bars if Guede truly is guilty of murder.

Toulouse sausage and prawn dumplings with sweet chilli sauce and Thierry Puzelat gamay
Posted on January 20 2014 at 09:04
A pretty wild combination this week at a lovely wine bar, Magnum, we went to in Toulouse on Saturday night. The owner Jérôme's wife, who originally came from Réunion, had made Chinese-style dumplings with the local Toulouse sausage and prawns served with a sweet chili sauce. Not the kind of thing I would normally go for but he sold it so persuasively we had to give it a go and it was fantastic.
Which wines and beers match best with Chinese food
Posted on February 15 2007 at 09:47
With Chinese new year coming up this weekend you may be planning a trip to a Chinese restaurant or planning a Chinese meal at home. But which wine to serve?

As I was researching what kind of medical knowledge they had back in medieval times, I discovered that they had little, if any, medical knowledge! :-o (Yikes!) I found out that there was no real tradition of scientific medicine. Oftentimes, observations went hand-in-hand with spiritual influences when it came to healing someone.
In medieval times, the church taught that God sometimes sent illness as punishment for something they did wrong. In these cases, repentance could lead to a recovery. Because of this teaching, it led to the practice of penance and caused people to go on pilgrimages to a means of curing illnesses. It was even thought, by some people, that medicine was not a profession suitable for Christians, as disease was God-sent - they considered God to be the "divine physician" who sent illness or healing, depending on His will. This was only in some instances, as several monastic orders considered the care of the sick as their chief work of mercy.
Things became better, however, during the Renaissance of the 12th century. Medicine became more developed when many medical texts from both an ancient Greek and Islamic medicine were translated to their language. (thank goodness, huh?!) During this period of the Renaissance and afterwards, there were many advances in medical practice. For example, Girolamo Fracastoro was the first to propose that epidemic diseases might be caused by objects outside the body that could be transmitted by direct or indirect contact.
And so medicine began to, slowly but surely, work it's way into the medieval time period. By the 1600s, they had progressed greatly in the medical field - textbooks even being written on human anatomy and medical knowledge.
Well, that's it for today! Hope you enjoyed reading about early medieval knowledge on medicine. Glad they eventually improved!! ;-) lol

BIG CYPRESS — No one knows for sure when members of Big Cypress New Testament Baptist Church first gathered, but families that date back at least five decades to when the plain block structure was built on a bubble of land off Josie Billie Highway marked the church's golden anniversary Dec. 3.
"The main reason for today's celebration is to share memories," said Pastor Arlen Payne, who has led the church for more than a decade, during the 50th anniversary celebration.
Frank Billie, who in 1957 became the Tribe's first board president, is credited for founding the church in 1966. He was ordained as a Baptist minister in December 1980. Betty Cypress King, a granddaughter of Billie and his wife Eddie Cypress Billie, for whom the church's fellowship hall built in 2009 was named, recalls attending services at that address when she was 12, about 50 years ago.
"I remember the chickee where the services were held. Another chickee was the kitchen. It seemed natural then to be on the reservation, at home, in a place to pray," King said.
Pastor Payne said older members of the Big Cypress faith community remembered meeting there in the 1950s for Saturday night meetings and Sunday morning worship. Back then, the congregation was considered a mission of independent Baptist churches from Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Eventually, the churches pooled resources and labor from their own members to build the longhouse-style sanctuary that still stands today.
Pastor Payne said the Rev. Al Janney, of New Testament Baptist Church in Miami-Dade County, the Rev. Spencer Williamson, now of First Baptist Church of Hillsborough, and Williamson's' son the Rev. Jerry Williamson, of Calvary Baptist Church in Fort Lauderdale, took charge of construction. The Rev. Bernie Rodgers, of Plantation Baptist Church, installed the roof.
"They didn't just come with money and hire workers to do it — they came, laid the cornerstone and built the building with their own hands," Pastor Payne said.
King said the church was provided at no cost to the SeminoleTribe. Her grandfather Frank Billie, the son of medicine man Ingraham Billie, was a devout Christian who left traditional medicine behind.
"Grandpa was adamant. 'God is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow,' he told us. When he converted, he converted all the way," King said.
Vincent Micco followed Frank Billie as pastor for a short time before he was replaced by the Rev. Johnny Shomo, of the Choctaw Nation. Pastor Payne became the church's pastor in 2005.
The anniversary celebration began in the fellowship hall with a meal that resembled Thanksgiving. Turkey, macaroni and cheese, string beans, corn and cornbread filled the buffet table. Sofkee was served on the side. After Pastor Payne called celebrants to the church by ringing the church bell, King led the gathering in her grandmother's favorite Creek hymn "Heleluyvn Yvhikares" (I Will Sing Hallelujah).
The Master's Touch gospel group, that includes Devon Fobb, Bruce Redbird and Henry Battiest Jr., of the Choctaw Nation, provided a handful of favorites from their CDs. The group, well-known throughout Indian Country and the U.S., have performed at Seminole reservation revivals and events since the early 1980s. Battiest, who toured with his own family gospel group back then, said he felt at home with the Seminole Tribe when he first stepped foot on the church property in 1982. He was barely 15.
"The first time we arrived here we were hot and sweaty and probably smelly after traveling so long and sleeping in a van all night, but we were given Spam, frybread and lapale — that's when Big Cypress became a big part of my life," Battiest said. "I feel like I grew up here."
By the mid-1980s, Battiest had married Seminole gospel singer June Baker and the two became a duo. He is the father of noted Seminole recording artists Spencer and Zac "Doc" Battiest who grew up in Hollywood.
Battiest shared many memories of Frank Billie and longtime Deacon Joe Osceola, who he called "Siamese twins" because they were always together. He pointed to the pews where the men and their wives used to sit and he lamented, "one by one they left us." Later, he held back tears when he led the gathering in Joe Osceola's dearest hymn, "The Unclouded Day."
Larry Ford, a Grammy award-winning tenor who is part of the Gaither gospel music family, also sung at the event.
Pastor Payne said the celebration likely drew a smaller than expected crowd because it was postponed twice. The first reschedule occurred under the threat of hurricane Matthew and the second date was changed to honor a mourning period.
"But as we go through life, one generation passes to the next," Pastor Payne said referencing Judges 2:7. He recanted how Bill Osceola started churches in Hollywood, Brighton, Trail and Big Cypress; how Jack Motlow got into a knife fight during one of his first attempts to spread the word of Christ in Trail — and prevailed; and how Frank Billie and Joe Osceola grew the Big Cypress New Testament family. "They laid groundwork and they built the church. Now it's our turn and we can't let them down," Pastor Payne said. "When we celebrate something like a 50th anniversary we remember the people who brought us here and we look to the future."
Osceola's family, now headed by Janice Osceola, filled a couple pews. Janice remembered taking the long drive from Hollywood to Big Cypress when her father opened a store next to the billiard hall — and every Sunday when the store was open, so were the doors to the church.
"This is where I brought my children from the time they were toddlers," Janice Osceola said. "I was born into faith. It is how I was raised and I'm glad the church family is still here 50 years later. Now, we have to make sure our grandchildren come to hear the word and to learn that there is a better way, praise God."

Urban Incubator
"We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us." Through playful processes of Reanimate Architecture workshop, drawing simple images and creating cartoons or simple animations, we will develop critical thinking and the ability to express it and bridge culture spatial processes and broad public.
Belgrade, Serbia
In Europe we are witnessing the search of new models for urban planning, governance or community building based on a sharing economy, participation and the principles of caring and cooperation. Reanimate Architecture workshop and its results can provide new language of thinking cities and bridging architecture and city development to wider audience. The process of the workshop is demanding and requires the development of critical thinking, and yet at the same time it is playful and inspiring, with results that easily communicate to even widest audience.
Reanimate Architecture is a creative intersectorial workshop that focuses on a specific spatial culture related topic. Through playful processes of drawing simple images and creating cartoons or simple animations, it helps participants to develop their critical thinking and the ability to express it, it encourages them to take interest into their built surroundings and the ongoing processes, and to propose new solutions and new ways of acting. It provides a framework for discussions and for thinking cities and built environment.
In order to think big issues in simple pictures, one needs to inform on the topic, to learn how to isolate the core elements, and how to imagine them and present them in a simple way so as to be understood, and yet powerful enough so as to make a statement.
Reanimate Architecture workshop is a part of an architectural magazine and a research platform Kamenzind, where researches and articles that precede, inspire or are discovered in the process of the workshop are published. In addition to critical writing, the workshop results will be presented in the form of whiteboard animation that is able to communicate to wider public.
The project will be released through publishing 4 issues of Kamenzind magazine in one year, 5 workshops with students of different faculties and high schools, facilitated by an architect - an awarded critic and a journalist, and an illustrator. The results will be published in Kamenzind and exhibited, while the selected results will be further developed and presented to wide audience in a form of whiteboard animations.
Funding requested from Advocate Europe
Total budget
We would like to learn more about different models of local policies, tactics of approaching local authorities and linking with local communities, as well as to learn about different ways of facilitating workshops and approaching students and young people.

The scene with LaToya Jackson was deleted from the BRUNO movie out of respect for Michael Jackson's untimely passing.
"Out of respect for the Jackson family, the filmmakers have decided to remove a small scene involving La Toya Jackson," said a Universal spokesperson at the time.
But when the DVD of "Bruno" is released on November 17th, the scene will be included as an extra.
Now that 4 months have passes since the death of M.J the scene has now been added as a bonus feature on the DVD which is to be released Nov 17.
But you can check out the scene right here, right now. That is so wrong! LOL .. and I believe that Paula Abdul who they tried to prank at the start but didn't want anything to do with it.. I can't believe Latoya went through with it for as long as she did! ;)

Model airplane dogfights with LEDs
Lots of people love model airplanes, and I bet they would love to simulate dogfights. They can't fire actual projectiles, as that would be dangerous, expensive, unworkable due to the weight and actually damage planes.
It should be possible to set up a system for dogfights using light, however. One way would be to have planes mount lasers that send out a coded pulse with a bit of dispersion, and have the other planes mount receivers with diffusers to pick up light from a lot of directions. It might be better to go in reverse, the way many shooting games do -- the planes broadcast a coded pulse from some bright LED in a specific colour and the "gun" is just a narrow sight that tries to pick up these pulses. When the gun gets one, it sends it down to the coordinator on the ground, and that tells the target plane it's been hit (possibly forcing it to leave the airspace after some number of hits, or impair the flying controls, etc.)
Of course you need authenticated equipment. If people provide their own it's too easy to cheat, and one could also just make a gun that has no barrel instead of a wide one, or have one on the ground. So some honour might be required here.
It would of course be hard to do, with no cockpit view. Some larger model planes can carry small video cameras for a more realistic dogfight of that sort, but I suspect people could figure something out. The gun could have sensors for the pulses that are wider than the actual "direct hit" sensor, allowing them to tell you when you're getting close, and even showing a screen on a laptop that is not a camera view from the plane but at least a view of how close you are to the target.

Model dogfights
Model airplane hobbyists have been doing dogfights for years. They attach a long streamer to the end of each plane, and each tries to slice off the other plane's streamer with their propellers. The plane with the longest streamer still attached at the end of the dogfight wins.
Not perfectly realistic perhaps, but cheap, simple, mostly foolproof, and quite the crowd pleaser.

ultrasonic dogfights
Hobbyzone make a range of planes that can have an ultrasonic 'Sonic Combat Module' attached that does just as you describe:
It seems to get good reviews too:
I'd have thought that a modulated LED would be lighter and cheaper and use less power though.
Fri, 2007-03-16 12:35
A thought for you.
The best way to monitor who hits who is to have it measured from the ground. Ground units have no constraints on their size, weight, power requirements etc, and there's no worrying about authentication stuff.
To extend the laser idea, you can use fluorescence. If the two planes have different fluorescent paints and different lasers, the wavelengths of light from the two planes will be distinguishable even as diffused reflections from the ground. A spectrum analyser would do the job quite happily, and yet more happily if it's in a non-visible range where there's less light around.
With radar or a few radio beacons in the extremities of the planes, you could easily do the math to work out where the planes are in relation to each other. The bonus with this thought is that there is no requirement to modify the planes at all. Just give each pilot a button to press, and the computer can do all the timing stuff and calculations.
Sonar would work as an alternative to radar from the ground, and require less expensive equipment. So instead of firing sound at each other, just sit a large ultrasound speaker on the ground, and have it emit radar-type chirps. Sit a few microphones around, and have the computer to do the work again.
The great opportunity you get with this is to allow anybody who wants to turn up and dogfight to do so, without expensive equipment of their own, or the need to have a sufficiently large or powerful plane to do it. With systems that can calculate the positions and orientations of the craft from the ground, there's a fairly easy step up to having a visual display of what's going on.
Bring on the airbot wars.

I had a wonderful opportunity to be kind today that presented all sorts of challenges and everything worked!!
The mother of two of my students with severe autism, one current 3 yo and one former 5 yr, called at 6:30 am. Her own mother had passed away in the night and she was desperate for some one to watch these two after school for about six hours. Told her I would take care of it.
Called friends I hadn't talked to in months and asked one new and one old friend and we got it taken care of so the kids were well tended - in shifts!! We even got in 1 1/2 hours in the pool. Took 4 adults to be successful - and we did it!!
Think everyone is pretty pooped out now, and it also feels good.
I had forgotten that her mother is my age - 63 - kind of takes me up short. Take each day and each blessing as it comes!!

Okay you guys...cut it out! I'll get an ego from all this!
Monday night at Bible study two people commented that they liked coming to my place because I radiated such peacefulness. I sure don't feel peaceful! But put me in my favorite chair and I just chill out.
I was a bit uncomfortable with that analysis, but you know, if it makes people feel comfortable and peaceful to be around me (not everyone feels this way btw!), then it's worth doing.
Mauimagic: you're doing great with your kindnesses. I think it's the spur of the moment things that make a difference. It's really neat she felt comfortable enough to phone you at that hour of the day for help.
Debbie-Cat: thanks for your vote of confidence. Sometimes I am blessed to be able to see the effects of my kindnesses. Other times not. I just love helping people though. My mother wanted me to be a nurse. But I could never handle the chemistry and math courses. I just do what I can to help people bit by bit every day.
I have the added benefit of not having to work outside the home. So I have time. And because DH often takes his bike to work, I also have wheels! And I gladly offer them to my older friends especially.

As I was browsing through my containers of beads yesterday… Searching for one specific very elusive element… I happened upon one of my very first wire and vintage creations.
So I guess it is Throwback Thursday today and I am going to share my very, VERY rough design. I am self taught, in fact I have never taken a wireworking class so at this point, I had no idea what a gauge was and I played with any wire I discovered.
I giggled in amazement what I was trying to accomplish with a high gauge wire!
I have learned so much over the years!
It is fun to realize the progress made over the course of my six years or more of wireworking!
I am preparing to have another Private Virtual Sale… This one is going to be a little different. I am not going to have as many items for sale… So you will have to be quick on the fly for responding. If you are signed up, no worries! I still have you listed! If you would like to sign up, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. The sale will be Monday, November 4th. More info coming soon!
I hope you have an amazing day!
