Role of Early Warning Systems in Disaster Response
David Robson (2010) defines disaster management and response to disaster as the decisions and the measures that are taken to prevent and minimize the casualties in a disaster situation by early warning and restoration of order, providing immediate relief and rehabilitation after the occurrence of the disaster.
This is often the first response that takes place after a disaster strikes. However for researchers like D.A. McEntire (2007), the response to disaster need not only be after the occurrence of the disaster but cab start before it happens by way of providing early information and warnings to the possible victims of disaster (McEntire, 2007).
The concept of disaster response entails a number of activities like warning and evacuation attempts, search and rescue efforts, provisions for immediate assistance, assessment of damage and the fast restoration of vital infrastructure (Pampel, 2008). According to J.S. Halpern (2005) the primary aim of a disaster response is to recognize the danger of a disaster and make plans, strategies and efforts to providing immediate relief to save life and property (Halpern, 2005).
In the modern day society, technological innovation has touched our lives in every aspect and disaster response efforts are no exception. S.O. Southern (2011) says that technological advancement has helped improve public safety and disaster relief efforts. Natural disasters pose threat to countries all around the world. Apart from these there is a growing threat from terrorist activities in many countries around the world (Southern 2011). Technologies such as advanced mobile devices and tablets help the authorities as well as the people to reduce public safety concerns in the wake of disasters. According to Kanno, Shimizu and Furuta (2006), technological advancement in geographic information systems, early warning systems, the internet and the social media and other forms of mass communication has the potential to deliver warning messages to a vast community of people about impending danger of a disaster (Kanno, Shimizu & Furuta, 2006)
Mobile Technology Use in Disaster Response
In their article on the use of technology in disaster response, Darrell M. West and Ellizabeth Valentini (2013) of the Centre for technology Innovation at Brookings stresses the importance of the lines of communication during and after disaster strikes (West & Valentini, 2013). Channels of communication are not only important for warning but are more crucial in relief and rescue operations. They suggested the innovation of communication technology for this purpose. Experts like Oosterom, Zlatanova and Fendel (2005) say that social and business worlds are responding to this challenge by the creation of new communication and collaboration technologies (Oosterom, Zlatanova & Fendel, 2005) that would help in speedy and efficient response to disaster.
Stating examples of the Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, the massive earthquake and tsunamis in Japan in 2011 and the Oklahoma tornados of 2013, Darrell M. West and Ellizabeth Valentini (2013) claim that the use of mobile and its intervention in these disasters have "skyrocketed." The need for accurate and instant information has seen a surge due to the developments in mobile technology. Citing an example in Australia, the experts in communication say that software combining of voiceover IP technology and Wi-Fi has enabled people to communicate even in places where there is no reception. "Such a feature is of critical importance in cases where traditional communications networks are knocked offline for extended periods of time during or after a major crisis" says West and Valentini (West & Valentini, 2013). In another example of development of technology in disaster Aerial 3D was created by Japanese developers which enable rescuers to create text in local spaces thus allowing mobile devices to accurately identify locations of victims. This technology was used in the tsunami in Thailand in 2011.
In their research paper, Roy, Kumar, Sarkar, Aberg and Kovordanyi (2015) explains the use of mobile technology is not only limited to rescue operations but is being used as a disaster preparedness and prevention tool. The government of Bangladesh has taken up a program of notifying mobile phone users in the flood prone areas of the country about possibility of an impending flood or a cyclone (Roy, Kumar, Sarkar, Aberg & Kovordanyi, 2015). Such messages, unlike genera; messages would flash directly on the screens of the mobile phone users and alert them about the disaster. Such messages are generally sent some time in advance so that the users and the other nearby them can prepare or evacuate to safer places in instances of natural disaster. In 2014, a large number of coastal area residents on the eastern coast of India managed to get to safety due to the early warning system in the case of cyclone Phailin. Apart from the usual PA systems, mobile phones were extensively used by the authorities to warn people ('Cyclone Phailin in India: Early warning and timely actions saved lives', 2014).
More and more people are falling back on mobile applications for information gathering about the preparation of and responding to emergency situations and disaster. This is because of the rapid growth in the use of smart phones. Cutter, Schumann and Emrich (2014) says that new applications are being created both by private companies and private citizens alike for first respondents and affected people. In their research following hurricane Katrina they say that after Katrina, a natural disaster warning system was prepared by IBM (Cutter, Schumann & Emrich 2014). The system is based on information that is gathered by MEMS accelerometers, or vibration Verizon Wireless provided wireless technology such as XORA, live casts and live video streaming application, a video propelled drone called Blue Force and FuzeBox, a video conferencing application. All these together are used by the application to create fast disaster response signals and response alerts.
Information and Communication Technology in Disaster Response
Different phases of disaster management and response often uses Information and communication technology. Great leaps in the development of information and communication technology has the potential of protecting people from the destructive forces of disasters. According to Mobaraki, Mansourian and Mohammadi (n.d.) says that there are several tools that are used in the use of ICT in disaster response. Such tools comprise of geographical information systems, remote sensing satellites, the internet, radio, TV, ham radio, mobiles, fax and e-mail. Large volumes of data are needed for the proper assessment of the potential of a disaster and the assessment of the risks involved. Such data is managed by GIS (Mobaraki, Mansourian & Mohammadi, n.d.). GIS is used for various purposes but primarily for the selection and working out of evacuation routes. GIS can also be used, in combination with GPS, in identification the location of stranded victims during or after a disaster and aid in search and rescue operations.
The role of remote sensing technology is used primarily for risk modeling of tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes and also for diseases and epidemics. This technology can also be used for the preparation of extreme oceanic, land and atmospheric phenomena. This can also be used for early warning systems for natural disaster except earthquakes. Such technology is also used to monitor and exchange of information.
Though advocating ICT use for disaster response, (Asimakopoulou and Bessis, 2010), enumerates the essential requirements for the success of the ICT disaster response. ICT needs to be provided with a good data management system and the understanding and participation of the personnel in the relief or response organization. The system also needs to identify the information needs (Asimakopoulou & Bessis, 2010). C. Mung'ou (2013) cites the advantages of using of ICT in disaster response and management claiming that the process is fast and accurate while being economic and flexible. The system also has a choice of configuration and promotes change and development (Mung'ou, 2013).
The Power of Social Media in disaster response and Management
Emergency or disaster response often entails the joint functioning of an entire community affected by a disaster. L. Potts (n.d.) argues that since a large section of people in every community uses it as a tool for communication, thus social media assumes great importance in the response to disaster (Potts, n.d.). Hence the approach to disaster response is changing rapidly from the traditional approach to a more technology based approach which is based on the understanding of how people communicate with the tools that used on a daily basis. According to G.D. Haddow and K. Haddow (2014), social media is used by billions of people all round the world to inquire about friends and family, learn about current events and share their experiences. This has almost become a habit for billions of people and therefore this form of communication assumes great importance in case of an emergency or a disaster with respect to responding (Haddow &… [END OF PREVIEW]

I have a 2012 Honda Crosstour V6 AWD - summer tires are 225 60 R18. The car rides pretty high which is nice in the Winter but I would like to lower it a bit in summer by perhaps going to a 225 55 R18 tire. I know it isn't a lot but it would help. Will this hurt the AWD in any way or should I just live with the originals?

One of my favorite baseball games of the year to attend is the Detroit Tigers' annual Star Wars Night which features members of fan clubs in movie accurate costumes interacting with people at the ballpark. Costumes aren't just for Halloween fun anymore as people engaging in "Cosplay" has become a popular activity taking place throughout the year. There are many opportunities now to take a road trip or fly off on vacations which revolve around cosplay experiences. With this in mind, I spoke with three avid cosplay enthusiasts about the best ways for someone to get into character.
Gerald Weiss is a proud member of The Finest, a G.I. JOE themed costumed club, inspired by the Hasbro action figures that were popular toys in the 1980s, which has hundreds of members spread out across the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. He and his son also like to dress up as their favorite super heroes and villains at comic conventions and pop culture exhibitions as well. "Cosplay is short for Costume Play," Weiss said. "It is essentially taking your favorite character from any genre, video game, anime or toy line and bringing that character to life."
Weiss, along with his fellow cosplay members of The Finest, focus on trying to make a positive difference in the world while having a good time. They build and wear highly-detailed costumes and props at conventions and other events to promote interest in the G.I. JOE brand to help make an occasion more interesting and support charitable causes. "We've raised over $45,000 for veterans' charities since 2014," he remarked.
Michael May is a member of the Michigan Chapter (also known as the Great Lakes Garrison) of the 501st Legion, a global Star Wars costuming club with over 12,000 active members living in more than 60 countries. According to May, members must be over 18 years old, have a movie accurate costume of a Stormtrooper or other Imperial character from the films to wear, and participate in at least one event per year in a club approved outfit. The 501st Legion is a volunteer organization that doesn't charge for appearances but does encourage donations to charities such as Make-A-Wish, Gilda's Club, and the Humane Society by organizers at the events they attend. "The characters we portray are the bad guys in the Star Wars movies," May said. "We take pride in being known as the Bad Guys who Do Good!"
Members of fan clubs such as The Finest and the 501st Legion don't buy their costumes. They actually create them, which for many people is a big part of the enjoyment of cosplay. "I find building my costume is half the fun and wearing it is the other half," May remarked. "I also like to see how others build and the techniques they use in creating costumes which shows their passion for the character they are portraying."
"Sewing, creating, fabricating and putting together a completely recognizable costume is very exciting," Weiss expressed. "I love the challenge of creating a costume and when someone asks to have their picture taken with you that is the ultimate compliment."
Both May and Weiss agreed that it is entertaining to take on the personality of a character they are portraying and also exciting to interact with people while in costume. Especially when it comes to children seeing these characters brought to life. "The reward of all the work you put into a costume is seeing the look of excitement on children's faces when they see you in it," Weiss reflected regarding his cosplay hobby.
"The most exciting and also often the hardest events I've participated in are a Children's Hospital visits," May noted. "It always amazes me when I walk into a sick child's room in full Stormtrooper gear that regardless of the illness, he or she always perks up during the visit and forgets they are in the hospital for a moment in time. I am sure I'm not the only member of the 501st who has lost their composure a little hidden inside their bucket (stormtrooper helmet) during some of these visits."
You don't have to be a member of a fan club to enjoy a cosplay experience. More and more people are crafting costumes to wear for a variety of occasions including fun runs, book releases, movie showings, themed parties and pop culture conventions, among other special events. Scotty Schrier for example has his whole family dress up every year to attend MegaCon in Orlando, Florida in costumes they create themselves. Each year, this event attracts over 100,000 attendees, many in cosplay, for a four-day extravaganza about comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming. You can check out many of Schrier's MegaCon pictures on his Instagram account.
Schrier believes that more and more people are joining in on cosplay activities because they are seeing others having fun doing it through pictures posted on websites and through online social media. "You see pictures of some really impressive costumes and that inspires people to go out and create their own," he said. "Also, the escapism aspect of pretending to be a fantastic character can be really attractive. Sometimes the world can be a little too much and you just need to get away from it for awhile."
Weiss, May and Schrier all agree that putting in time doing research before you begin working on a cosplay outfit is their number one tip for beginners. "Do as much research as you can," Weiss recommends. "Collect pictures, buy toys, and visit resources like Pinterest and Youtube to help plan and design the most accurate look of what you want to replicate. Beware though that challenging yourself to make a costume identical to the subject matter you've researched becomes extremely addictive."
"Making a very accurate costume can be much more expensive than many people initially expect," May mentioned. "Create a budget and try to stick to it but don't be surprised if the cost gets to be a bit higher as you make alterations and improvements. That is why researching everything you want to do is important before you start sinking money into a project."
"Having an incredibly detailed costume though makes the money, sweat, and time you invest into it well worth the investment," May added. "Don't feel like you have to create an expensive outfit though to have a good time. Rather, focus on creating and wearing something you can actually afford and enjoy."
"Make sure to create a costume that is COMFORTABLE to wear," Schrier recommended. "I saw a guy dressed as Game of Throne's Jon Snow rocking a giant fur cape and big wig at MegaCon who was having some serious heat and dehydration issues because that was a very hot costume to be wearing in Florida during the month of May."
"Plan ahead!" Schrier urges. "Know every aspect of your costume inside and out so you can easily check it for damage while out and about. Bring along extra supplies to assist with repairs in case your costume is damaged while traveling or at your destination."
"Most conventions have an area that is set up for cosplayers to go and touch up makeup or get something fixed," he continued. "Many of these setups provide this service for free, but make sure to have a few bucks on hand to tip them as that money usually goes back into buying more supplies for this costume triage area."
"Know convention rules when it comes to replica weapons and other costume accessories before you go," urges Weiss. "You don't want to have a major part of your costume missing because it is prohibited from being brought into a place. Also, if your character uses some form of weaponry that may look realistic, make sure to have it properly packed away when traveling so it isn't mistaken for the real thing by someone."
"Make sure you are realistic about the storage space you need for transporting your costume," May mentioned. "My costumes are stored in a 55-gallon rolling work box so storage space is a must. Sometimes creative packing is a necessity especially when it comes to flying across the country to attend an event. Don't just think you can pack and go. Pre-planning when it comes to traveling with a costume can save a lot of headaches."
May also wanted to emphasize having fun when it comes to cosplay. "Just have fun!" he said. "No matter what level your costume is or where you are wearing it, have fun. Wherever I go with the 501st people yell 'Oh look! Stormtroopers!' It makes me feel like a rock star! Having fun is really what this is all about."
And while cosplay makes wearing costumes fun beyond just Halloween it can also contribute to making that day extra special too. Schrier notes that his sons wanted him to be a character to go along with their store-bought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costumes one Halloween. The Master Splinter costume he made himself, to go out trick or treating with them, Schrier proclaimed as one of his proudest cosplay achievements.

Jonas Strandell is Co-founder, COO and R&D Manager of WSI. He has many years of experience in antenna design, which is core in many of WSIs' successful projects.
– Antenna design is in many senses different compared to other kind of electrical design work. It is often considered strange, difficult and even a bit magical! Here at WSI we have a strong team of highly experienced antenna designers and we have all kinds of test equipment and measurement chambers needed to do the job. We work with simulation tools as well as cutting copper tape with a scalpel based on many years of experience, to find the optimal solution for our customers! Small size embedded antennas as well as large size array antennas for base stations. From NFC frequencies up to 6 GHz and even above.
To characterize the antenna performance in full a set of test equipment and measurement chambers are required. WSI has everything required within our own facilities.
In the anechoic chamber we measure Radiation Patterns in both two and three dimensions as well as Antenna Gain. This type of testing is done to determine radiation in different directions in the development of any kind of wireless devices and is also needed for Type Approval.
In the scattered field chamber we perform Antenna Efficiency measurements as well as TRP (total radiated power) and TIS (total isotropic sensitivity) measurements. These parameters are of great importance to be able to launch 2G, 3G and 4G products in carrier networks worldwide. Network carriers like Vodaphone, Sprint and AT&T put strict requirements on this kind of parameters.
Strict requirements are put on the levels of electro-magnetic field a product is allowed to expose the human body to. At WSI we have a so called SAR test system to do these kinds of measurements. SAR stands for specific absorption ratio. A bath tub formed as the human body is filled with a special liquid to simulate human tissue. A robot is used to measure the electro-magnetic field in the bath tub while being exposed to the radiation of the device under test which could be a mobile phone or any kind of body worn wireless device.
WSI is one of only few in Scandinavia who can perform these kinds of measurements.
Products reaching the market tend to be filled with more and more wireless technologies, this in smaller, thinner and sleeker form factors. Also future wireless technologies utilizing MIMO (multiple input multiple output) require multiple antennas instead of just one antenna.
This is an extreme challenge for antenna designers but also our strength. Though simulations and our long experience, optimal antenna positions and antenna technologies will be found.
Antenna design tends to be considered in a very late stage of the design work which is unfortunate. This may lead to both poor performance and problems during type approvals and certification, causing unnecessary delays and increased cost. The proper way would be to consider antenna design already when setting the industrial design and floor plan of a new product, says Jonas Strandell, R&D Manager, WSI.
Before introducing a new product into the market there are a number of Type Approval tests and Certifications required. These tests and certificates varies depending on the features of the product as well as on which markets the product shall be launched into. In general testing will be more extensive for products containing any kind of radio technology. Products launched in Europe need the CE mark, product launched in US need the FCC mark or a FCC ID, Bluetooth products need to be tested for compatibility and be listed by the Bluetooth SIG etc. WSI work in close collaboration with accredited test houses like Intertek, Cetecom, Delta etc. for both pre-compliance testing of prototypes as well as full type approval testing of the ready-made product. Pre-compliance testing according to the Bluetooth standard is done in-house at WSI. We also support the customer with documentation associated with the Type Approvals such as Technical Construction File, Declaration of Conformity etc.
Bluetooth technology is the global wireless standard enabling the Internet of Things (IoT). We have been working a long time with Bluetooth and are a member of the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group).
By affixing the CE marking to a product, a manufacturer declares that the product meets all the legal requirements for CE marking and can be sold throughout the EEA.
The Federal Communications Commission regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
Wi-Fi Alliance is a non-profit organization that promotes Wi-Fi technology and certifies Wi-Fi products if they conform to certain standards of interoperability.

If you are not able to short stocks in your account or if you do not feel comfortable doing it for whatever reason you have a second opportunity to profit as the prices of stocks fall. You can buy inverse ETFs. These allow you to profit from the market as stocks are falling.
In my opinion there is no middle ground. I believe firmly in America as a country of freedom. It pains me that the 8 years of conservative rule have greatly diminished the freedom in this country, slowly tearing pieces away at the Constitution. We are either a free, democratic country or we are not. We are either a democracy or we are a theocracy and we need to declare ourselves as such.
On the day you travel, you'll want to leave home in plenty of time, so you're not rushing to get to the airport. Depending on where you're going, and how much luggage you're taking, you might want to get ready the day before, so that all you need to do on the day you fly is get to the airport.Why not book your car parking in advance too?
Childcare is also a very marketable skill. Many parents need someone who is honest, responsible, and trustworthy to watch their children if they need to leave them somewhere alone. You could trade a day of childcare for many useful things.
Super Stop and Shop in the old Saybrook Shopping center at 865 Boston Post Road will hold flu clinics on Oct. 11, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Nov. 12 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., contact 860-388-0850.
There will also be videos that will help you with your training. You will learn how to deal with nurses and how to best care for patients. You may even get the opportunity to practice your skills on real patients in some courses. These will take place at healthcare facility and nursing home (under supervision) to get a real feel for the role that you will be playing.
Even if the climate bill costs Americans money, it will create lots of jobs. At least, that's what the Democrats tell us. They claim that reducing dependence on fossil fuels and increasing our dependence on green fuels will create a tremendous number of jobs. There is no doubt this will be true. More green energy jobs will be created. Unfortunately, they leave out one small fact: If we decrease dependence on fossil fuels, won't the "new" green energy jobs come at the expense of the "old" energy jobs? Will the country really gain jobs? If anything, I think workers in the energy sector will be lucky to break even on the number of jobs created.
Final exam: This is the last step where you have to take the CNA exam in your state. The exam is of two parts, written and practical. Check with your state as different states have slightly different testing procedures. If you pass this exam, you will be given a Cna certification and can begin your career as a nurse.

Re: HLA
The RTI to be used by Prepar3D is not currently configurable. Prepar3D will load librti1516e.dll and libfedtime1516e.dll from the application's installation directory. In theory, due to the way that HLA interfaces are defined, it may be possible to replace these DLL's and load a different RTI, however this has not yet been tested.

Log trailers
Forum Responses
From contributor P:
This trailer works behind my four wheeler. It has a single axle, but the wheels will flip and "walk" through the rough places. I winch the logs up the side on a metal ramp. Quite simple.
Where do you come up with the axles, wheels and tires? Are the tires low pressure turf or 4 wheeler tires?
From contributor K:
I am in the process of building a log trailer. I am using 2 mobile home axles. I bought them with good wheels and tires for $50/axle. On top of these sets 2 6x6x12' I beams. The cross pieces are also 6x6x6'. I have 4 of them bolted and welded on. I am working now on the uprights, trying to come up with a way for them to pivot (lay down) for rolling on logs too big to lift. It should be plenty sturdy and woods-worthy.
From contributor G:
I have a 24 ft flatbed gooseneck trailer (3 axle) that used to have those trailer house tires (9-14.5) and I just converted the drums and rims to heavy duty 16 in - 3750 lb rated rims and Goodyear G159 tires. That combination allowed me to keep the 7500 lb per axle rating and 22500 trailer rating. The 9-14.5 tires have gone up to $170 per tire and very few of them would last over 30 miles, especially in the summer.
The $50 per axle may not prove to be a very good deal unless you will not be loading them up close to their maximum rated load. Believe me, it's no fun trying to cut off the tread of a steel belted tire that is wrapped around the axle with a pocket knife while lying under a loaded trailer along side of a busy highway. I have seen those trucks that move mobile homes with racks with 20-30 spares along. If you are just using the trailer in the woods and not on the highway, they will work fairly well. It's the heat buildup that just destroys them.
For trailer parts, try Northern Tool or Redneck Trailer Supply.
Just remember, for hauling logs, decide on how strong you need the trailer to be and then double it.
From contributor K:
Thanks for the insight on the tires. Fortunately, most of my logging is done within a few miles of the mill, so it will mainly be a "woods" trailer. I think I will pick up another set of tires, just to be safe.
Contributor G, my tire man got me some tires for my mobile home axle equipped trailer that are just as good as any of the tires for "equipment trailers". They are made for these axles and will hold up to continued highway use with a full load. They cost me $100.00 per tire, but they are worth it in the long run.
I recently found a tire that will fit the mobile home axles (8X14.5). It is a Dynatrac brand with an F load range. Capacity says 2835 lbs. at 100 psi cold. My tire salesman charged me $47.60 per tire - balanced. They seem to work well, and last much longer.
On my log trailer [2 6000#axles] I welded 2 pieces of 2x6 tubing across 7 feet apart. For bolsters, I took 18" pieces of tubing and welded flat stock on either side leaving 6" extended on the end. Standing these upright on the ends of the horizontals, I drilled 2 holes through the sandwich. One acts as a hinge (bolted) and the other is the keeper. Put a 4' 2x6 in the end of the bolster, pull the pin, hinge the 2x6 down and you have ramps. Roll the log up and raise the ramp, and pull up to the next one. You can load from either side, butts to the front preferred.
From contributor A:
Contributor G, how did you convert the drums over? Did you buy new axles? Does this setup use brakes all the way around or just on the front one or two axles? I'm in the mobile home axle problem myself, and the brakes for the 12" drums are $120 per side. I'd rather straighten it out once.
Contributor A, change from mobile home drums to 8 lug. I had to change the inner race and bearing. If the brakes are shot or non-existent, it's cheaper in the long run to get new brake axles equipped with the proper drum. Around here it's 250 a brake axle and 250 for the complete hanger kit.
From contributor G:
Contributor A, on the first axle I just changed drums. You need to know the wheel bearing sizes so they can match that to the drums you will need. On the remaining two axles it was cheaper to buy the complete axle since I needed brakes.
I believe that most states now require brakes on all axles if you are over some weight limit, but I can't remember what it is. I have always had brakes on all 3 axles.
From the original questioner:
I am looking to build something more along the lines of contributor P's trailer, just maybe a little wider. It will only be used for retrieving the occasional log from folks looking to get rid of them, tree trimming crews, and a few grade logs that I can get my hands on, mostly in the 8 to 12 foot range. I like NovaJack's design with the dump trailer and will probably design mine similarly to use for other light hauling jobs.

How to Create an Auto-Response Mail Message in Lotus Notes 8.5.3+
Why would you do this?
Suppose that you have an externally accessible generic email address for your company; firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.
You might expose this to the web and allow people to send messages to you.
Setting up an auto-response email will tell the senders that their message reached its destination and that it will be dealt with accordingly. It's also good practice to include links to FAQs or other useful information.
Why 8.5.3
The techniques we'll be using here work in older versions of Notes but some of the options seem to have moved around in 8.5.3. I figured it was a good time to show you where they've moved to.
The Procedure
Start Domino Designer and open the Mail file to be modified. A really quick way to do this is to right-click on the application tab and choose "Open in Designer".
In the Left hand panel of designer, expand Code and then double-click Agents. A new window should appear.
Click the action button marked New Agent (at the top of the screen).
Give the Agent a Name, Alias and Comment;
Name: AutoResponder
Alias: AutoResponder
Comment: Sends an automatic response to any inbound emails sent to this address
Change the type to Simple Actions
Leave the Application field as is and click Ok.
In the left panel, click Document Selection.
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see an Add Condition button.
Click it.
Choose In Folder and then Select the Inbox.
Click Add
In the left panel, click Action
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see an Add Action button.
Click it.
Choose Reply to Sender
Make sure that it says Send Reply to Sender Only.
Tick Reply only once per person
Type your message
Click Add
So far so good. Now to get this to occur for all new mail.
This is where I got stuck.
It makes perfect sense to have these agent properties at the bottom of the page, like they are for lotusscript agents but for some reason, they're not there in 8.5.3. A big thanks to Tony G for finding the missing menu option.
Right mouse click anywhere in the right hand panel and choose Agent Properties.
In the trigger section, choose On Event and Select After New Mail has Arrived.
You can now save and close your agent.
Note: In our tests it took 5-10 minutes for the agent to actually start working so don't despair if it looks like it doesn't appear to be working initially. To test, send emails from an outside account, like Gmail and wait for the reply message.
22 comments:
Which is all well and good... until the spammers get hold of your inbound email address. Then welcome to a world of hurt.

This will probably work quite well most of the times, but if the external sender of the mail to which your agent responds to also happens to have some kind of auto-responder running, you will end up with a really ugly mail-loop that might kill your server!

Before to start this kind of work, have a look to this :
- 11:11 pm
It's set to "Reply Once per Person", so, there's no loop.

Auto reply simple action agent shows me "ERROR: Agent cannot run. Database is not full text indexed and INI variable FT_FLY_INDEX_OFF is set."
How to resolve this...pls help!! Thanks
- 12:21 am
I have done the above but for some reason it is not auto-replying. I have created the agent from a Task ID and not from my original mail inbox. Any ideas where it has gone wrong ? Thanks
- 9:55 pm
What step are you missing?
Every time I follow this guide, I receive the error 'This application is not open'
Major bug in notes I know, but please include the first step
- 10:28 pm
Thanks for the very concise instructions. I set this up on a mail-in database, and it worked great, with one small issue. The "From" line of the auto-response email contains my email address, rather than the email address associate with the mail-in database, or the owner of the mail-in database. Is there a way to get the agent to use the email address of the mail-in database in the "From" line?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Anonymous, You'll find on the key tab there's a security option which says run on behalf of...
You need to select the appropriate user.

This is the type of agent we need but we need it notify people once a day. So if Joe sends in 10 emails a day, he only get 1 reply each day. To do this, I think I just need to stop and start the agent once a day.
Question is, does anyone have the code to stop and start and agent ?
- 7:11 pm
You need to have a userid created for that server to allow the agent to run, otherwise it will not work.

Worked great for me. I've always wondered how to create a "Simple Agent" without needing alot of LotusScript. Good writeup. Simple and concise. Thanks.
- 5:20 am
How do you exclude IBMers within this agent? Also how does this affect you when you're out of office? Will a responder get two messages - 1 out of office and 1 auto response? Thanks
- 8:08 am
- Gavin Bollard said...
This agent is really designed for group mailboxes (eg: firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com) rather than personal email boxes.
For example, people might send to email@example.com and the responder could let them know that their email has been received and will be replied to shortly.
You'll also need to have an anti-spam front end (we filter all our mail via Symantec's cloud service). This prevents mail loops.
The responder is also good for short term use, eg: if someone posts a scam on the internet about your company (eg: Email us your details and we'll send you free products), you can add the responder for a short time, to the affected email address. (Instead of replying to each mail that this is a scam).
If you want to handle proper out of office event and exclusions, then you should either use the real out of office system or write a lotusscript agent which can do a lot more validation.

Hi, I am also interested in being able to exclude email from IBMers. I work for a group that allowed for customers to email us directly and that has changed so that they need to open a support ticket through Parature.... yet the emails still come in despite a notice. I use a faux auto reply, but this is time consuming. Help!

- Pamm MacRae said...
I too am interested in finding a way to set up an auto respond to anyone that is not an IBMer.
Thank you

My Notes mailbox has different alias addresses. I currently have an agent that sends an auto-reply to the sender, regardless as to which alias they used to contact the mailbox. My question is: can I set this up such that the mailbox sends a different auto-reply based on the alias used by the sender? For example, if we the mailbox has these two addresses/aliases:
Can I have the mailbox send "autoreply-1" to anyone who contacted it using the BetaTesting alias, and "autoreply-2" to anyone who contacted it using the AlphaTesting alias?

Gingival recession (receding gums) refers to the progressive loss of gum tissue, which can eventually result in tooth root exposure if left untreated. Gum recession is most common in adults over the age of 40, but the process can begin in the teenage years.
Gum recession can be difficult to self-diagnose in its earlier stages because the changes often occur asymptomatically and gradually. Regular dental check ups will help to prevent gum recession and assess risk factors.
The following symptoms may be indicative of gum recession:
Causes of Gum Recession
Gum recession is an incredibly widespread problem that dentists diagnose and treat on a daily basis. It is important to thoroughly examine the affected areas and make an accurate diagnosis of the actual underlying problem. Once the cause of the gum recession has been determined, surgical and non surgical procedures can be performed to halt the progress of the recession, and prevent it from occurring in the future.
The most common causes of gingival recession are:
Treatment of Gum Recession
Every case of gum recession is slightly different, and therefore many treatments are available. The nature of the problem which caused the recession to begin with needs to be addressed first.
If overly aggressive brushing techniques are eroding the gums, a softer toothbrush and a gentler brushing technique should be used. If poor oral hygiene is a problem, prophylaxis (professional dental cleaning) may be recommended to rid the gum pockets of debris and bacteria. In the case of a severe calculus (tartar) build up, scaling and root planing will be performed to heal the gingival inflammation and clean the teeth.
Once the cause of the gingival recession has been addressed, surgery of a more cosmetic or restorative nature may be recommended. Gum tissue regeneration and gum grafting are two excellent ways to restore natural symmetry to the gums and make the smile look more aesthetically pleasing.
If you have any questions or concerns about periodontal disease, periodontal treatments, or gum recession, please ask your dentist.
Three members of our family go to Dr. Garrison's practice. Everyone is very friendly and my children have grown up with this practice. He gives all of us great service and takes good care of our teeth. Many years ago, I switched to this practice when another dentist had advised pulling several of my teeth and creating a bridge. I sought a second opinion from Dr. Garrison and stayed with his practice. I still have all those teeth and no bridges
by Google review
Dr. Robert Garrison is the coolest cosmetic dentist that I have ever had here in Columbus, Oh. He is personable, and professional. He took time to greet me, talk to me a little, and explain everything, even as my mouth was open and he was cleaning away. Never felt rushed or anxious during my entire visit. In fact, I look forward to going back and getting some much

The most common type of harassment is sexual, although you can also be harassed based on your race, national origin, or any other protected characteristic.
Sexual harassment can include such conduct as unwelcome sexual advances, threats, vulgar or suggestive language, offensive visual images (pornography, swimsuit calendars, dirty emails), physical assaults, or even more generally "mean" behavior–so long as the behavior would not have been directed at you if you were of the opposite sex.
Courts have become more and more demanding about how severe and frequent behavior has to be in order to qualify as illegal "sexual harassment." It would surprise most people to know that women today are expected to put up with workplace conduct that would have been unquestionably illegal fifteen years ago. This sort of "legislating from the bench" by "conservative" judges appointed by "conservative" Presidents is largely hidden from the general public.
Research (and real life experience) shows that sexual harassment of women is extremely common. Although men are sexually harassed, that is much rarer. Sexual harassment is among the leading causes of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder among American women. Different women react differently to harassment, and how deeply they are affected depends in large part on the employer's response when they report it. Of course, the vast majority of women never file any sort of a complaint regarding sexual harassment.
It is important to work up the courage to complain to your employer about the harassment and to keep complaining, even if it doesn't seem to be doing any good. Complain to your supervisor, your supervisor's boss, to Human Resources, and to any corporate hot-line. Reports in writing are best, particularly via e-mail because that will make a record of the dates and times you complained. Make copies of your complaints and keep them at home. Under some circumstances, your employer may end up being able to escape legal responsibility for the harassment if you cannot prove you reported it.
If you are experiencing sexual harassment, get advice from someone you trust and who has the experience to help you navigate the situation. Unfortunately, retaliation is still the most common employer response to a sexual harassment complaint. A qualified attorney can help you lessen your chances of being retaliated against.

My area of New Cairo is quite famous. It turns out that former president Morsi lived 8 villas down from my current apartment. He also attended the mosque that is across the street from the school residence where I live. This makes home easy to find – taxi drivers are familiar with the area. It also makes the mosque a busy place, especially on Fridays.
Last Friday my coworker Kelly F and I were hoping to get some back-to-school shopping done and made the mistake of trying to hail a cab at noon on a Friday. We stood in the hot sun for more than half an hour before deciding to walk down the block to try our luck somewhere else. On our way we encountered some funny signs stuck to cars:

The year is flying by. I've been so busy -
writing and doing events – that I haven't reported on
all the schools I've visited. Please send me photos and
pupils' work inspired by my books. I'm thrilled with
Lesson Plans generously donated by Lucy Compton of Spinney Hill
Primary. She used CLASS THREE ALL AT SEA with her Year One class and got
accolades from Ofsted. They said they had never seen such a high standard
of writing from Year 1 boys! You can find the lesson plans here.
I've had a couple of accolades myself:
Norfolk Library Service gave KISSES ARE YUK! Their Bronze Star Award. This is an award voted for by children so I'm very proud.
'Inside' has been longlisted for the 2010 YoungMinds Book Award.
We're told the competition was really tough this year and Inside was chosen out of 35 books to form part of a longlist of 12.
The publishers, Andersen Press, will send 50 copies to YoungMinds who will in turn distribute them to book groups and schools across the country for young people to review.
Once the reviews have been collated in September they will use them to chose the shortlist of 6 and then the winning book will be decided by a panel of 6 judges, including three young people and three children¹s authors. Fingers crossed!!

When filing a personal injury claim, whether for a car accident, slip and fall, or product defect, you might be entitled to host of compensatory damages, depending upon the details of your case.
Below, we discuss some of the monetary damages that are included on personal injury claims, but it's not an exhaustive list. If you are filing a claim, you'll want to run your case by an attorney to ensure that you have accounted for all of the personal injury damages for which you are eligible. There are likely items that you may forget to include (such as your gas costs to and from your medical appointments), and you don't want to risk shortchanging yourself.
Special Damages
Special damages are the direct, out-of-pocket expenses you have as a result of your injury. These compensatory damages are tangible, monetary and easily tallied.
Types of special damages include:
- emergency room and hospital bills;
- all current and future medical bills related to your injury;
- medical devices, prescriptions, surgeries and other treatments;
- lost wages;
- repair and replacement of property;
- reduced capacity to work or disability;
- the financial costs of living with a disability (e.g., making a home wheelchair accessible);
- loss of promotion;
- cost of counseling or mental health services related to the effects of the accident;
- injury-related transportation costs; and
- the cost of hiring someone to perform the duties around the house that you normally would perform.
General Damages
The second type of damages, general damages, are the intangible, harder-to-calculate losses you've experienced as a result of the injury. Unlike special damages that can be substantiated with evidence such as bills and receipts, general damages are non-monetary and can be somewhat harder to prove in a personal injury claim.
These types of damages include:
- emotional distress;
- mental anguish;
- pain and suffering;
- scarring and disfigurement;
- loss of enjoyment in life or in doing the things you once were able; and
- the effect your injuries have had on your relationships.
There is also a third type of damages, punitive damages, that is sometimes awarded in a personal injury settlement. However, they are only used as a form of punishment in cases in which there was gross negligence or malice involved.
Compensatory Damages: Determining the Value of Your Claim
There is no set formula to calculate the value of a personal injury claim. In many instances, the task necessitates the services of a forensic economist. A certified, experienced forensic economist will be able to estimate difficult-to-establish figures such as the financial loss a victim experiences over the course of his or her lifetime because of a reduced capacity to work.
If you are filing a personal injury claim to recover compensatory damages, you'll want to consult an attorney before agreeing to any settlement offers. Prematurely agreeing could mean thousands of dollars in lost monetary damages for you. Your attorney will be able to look over your claim, help obtain the services of an economist if necessary and pursue the highest level of personal injury damages for which you're eligible.

A convicted child rapist has told a Brisbane Supreme Court jury he had nothing to do with the abduction and murder of schoolboy Daniel Morcombe.
Brett Peter Cowan has pleaded not guilty to killing the 13-year-old, who vanished while waiting for a bus at the Kiel Mountain overpass on the Sunshine Coast in 2003.
Cowan's defence team has asked the jury to consider whether the crime was committed by Douglas Jackway.
Jurors have been told that Mr Jackway was sentenced to eight years in jail in 1995 after admitting carrying out sexual offences against a boy.
Today Mr Jackway, who gave evidence via video-link, told jurors he had had no involvement in Daniel's death.
Prosecutors asked if he had abducted Daniel, was involved in the teenager's death, or if he killed him.
Mr Jackway answered "no" to those questions.
He has also denied telling an inmate he would abduct, rape, and kill a child after his release from jail.
There were frequent heated exchanges between Mr Jackway and Cowan's barrister Angus Edwards.
'Who's on trial here?'
Previously the court heard motorists saw a blue car and a man standing near where Daniel was last seen.
Mr Jackway was questioned about his movements on the day Daniel disappeared.
He told the court he bought a blue sedan about three weeks after his release from prison in 2003.
At one point, Mr Jackway complained: "Who's on trial here? Am I on trial? What's this got to do with the court case?"
"How about you just answer the question?" said Mr Edwards.
"How about you go f*** yourself you f***wit," replied Mr Jackway.
He was also questioned about a high-speed police pursuit in a blue 1980s sedan on the Sunshine Coast in November 2003, shortly after he was released from prison.
He said he was driving his blue sedan after it was released from a police impound on the Sunshine Coast days before.
The court heard Mr Jackway told police he was drinking with a friend in Ipswich, west of Brisbane, and denied claims he asked his then-girlfriend and a teenage friend to be his alibis for the day.
Yesterday, the jury was shown a video of a police interview with Cowan in 2005.
At the time, Cowan was living in northern New South Wales after moving from the Sunshine Coast.
In the video, Sergeant Mark Wright and Detective Sergeant Tracey Barnes quizzed Cowan about his whereabouts the day Daniel disappeared.
When asked about his resemblance to a police comfit put together from witness statements, Cowan laughed and said it looked more like his brother who lived in Brisbane.
The video recording ends with police asking him: "If you had abducted Daniel, would you tell me?"
Cowan answered: "Probably not".
Under cross-examination, Sergeant Wright agreed Cowan was cooperative and had volunteered DNA samples.

What a fun concept!
Nissan did every Star Wars fan a solid, and made some custom modifications to a Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Rogue and a Nissan Rogue Sport in the motifs of central characters to the new movie out this weekend.
Click the below picture for 12 more terrific pics of these vehicles to see some stellar creative body work.
They introduced these cars at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Needless to say, you won't be seeing one of these on our used car lot in Dover, but we do from time to time get Nissan vehicles. Doing your own custom work like this would be quite a project. Really impressive!

A small earthquake rolled though D'ni today, enough to shift stones and rubble in K'veer, so I wiggled my way through an opening. Skinned knees and nose, I wandered the empty halls of K'veer.
I've been told that this place played a great role during the years leading to the Fall, and became a focal point during. I've steadfastly resisted reading the fiction accounts of the Fall, so that what I hear is not coloured by what I expect.
K'veer is so, so sad. The place drips in sorrow. Not the encompasing, collective sorrow of the City, but an abiding, personal sorrow. The sound of the sorrow, the feel of it, changes from room to room, but it is there.
I found a room, debris on the floor, signs of a fire. The pain that was there brought me to my knees. Loss, such deep loss, like a heart torn asunder in an instant, yet tinged with love, and pride, joy, amazement.

Fruit tarts are a fresh and easy way to celebrate Tu B'Shevat in style! Prepare as instructed or use your own favorite fruits.
1 stick margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
Ready-made custard
1 pomegranate
2 cans sliced peaches
5 kiwis
1 package of clear Jello
In an electric mixer, mix sugar, margarine, and egg for one minute. Add vanilla and lemon juice and mix. Pour in flour and baking powder and mix
until a ball of dough forms.
Roll out dough to 1/2 centimeter thickness on parchment paper. Once rolled, hold parchment with dough over a heavily greased tart pan with removable bottom. Remove parchment as you place dough down. Break excess dough off the sides using the edge of the pan. Press dough carefully into the edges.
Poke holes into dough with a fork
to prevent air bubbles.
Bake on 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Remove and cool.
Peel kiwis and cut them into circles
1/2 centimeter thick.
Seed pomegranate. Remove tart shell from pan when cool. Spread custard onto shell.
Place peaches in concentric circles around the outer border of the shell.
Place kiwis around the inner border.
Gently place pomegranate seeds
in the center of the shell.
Prepare Jello as instructed on the package,
without refrigeration. With a pastry brush,
paint Jello mixture onto fruit.

Last week rang in two firsts for us. It was Tralee's first elementary school field trip, which meant that it was my first time to chaperone a field trip. YAY! When I become a mother, I knew someday I would be riding along on a big yellow school bus, sitting next to my excited child, wishing I had earplugs, helping the teacher wrangle a class-full of rambunctious kids, and wondering what kind of learning adventure we would find ourselves on.
This particular field trip was to an agricultural fair that a local high school 4-H group put together. It was really well organized, and all the kids in Tralee's class were adorable and easy to wrangle! Guess what? First graders are super fun! They kept coming up to give me hugs, and they all listened really well. So, it made for a fun afternoon of chaperoning. The pièce de résistance, was when Tralee turned to me and said while holding my hand, "Mom, can you please chaperone all my field trips, because you're really good with kids?" Melted my heart! HOORAY for field trips!!
Here are some pics:
|On our way. Also, Tralee's first time riding on a school bus.
|Anytime someone asked, "Does anyone have any questions?" Tralee's hand shot right up. Such a curious creature.
|Tralee's teacher in a bee keeper hat.
|The whole class!
|Riding with one of her besties on the way back to school
|I will relish in these days where she still wants me in her pictures with friends.
I can't wait for the next field trip . . only next time I might actually bring earplugs. Those first-grade screams of excitement are fierce when echoed by a big, metal, yellow tube!

Καλωσορίσατε στον ιστοχώρο
του Αδαμάντιου Οδοντιατρικού Κέντρου
Welcome to the website of
Adamantio Dental Center
Στόχος μας το όμορφο χαμόγελο
στα χείλη κάθε ασθενή μας
We can give you something
to smile about
Welcome to the website of Adamantio Dental Center. Our center was founded in 2004 by six very enthusiastic dentists. Not long after that our scientific team has grown, and now consists of 19 members. The philosophy for the establishment of the center is to offer all kinds of dental work under the same roof, thus reducing the treatment time without increasing costs.
The idea for the invention of our name came from the Greek words "διαμάντι' (diamond) and 'αδαμαντίνη' (enamel). The first word symbolizes the purity, clarity and strength and the second is the actual name of the dental substance in the outer surface of the tooth.
At Adamantio Dental Center we can offer the full range of dental services because of our big scientific team, working enthusiastically based on the rules and ethics of dental science. Our members are encouraged to monitor the latest developments in dentistry, which is a continually evolving science. Many times more complicated cases require cooperation of more than one dentist, so at Adamantio we provide a group of dentists, each of which emphasizes on a certain field of dentistry, also cooperating with dental specialists, such as orthodontists, periodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

When you apply tags to interactions, you're adding text labels as metadata. Alternatively, you can use scoring to add numerical values, again based on one or more conditional tests. For example, here are four tag definitions in the same namespace:
// Strong desire or indicates buying intention
tag.sales.lead_score +20 { interaction.content contains_any "want, considering, buy, need" }
// Likes the product
tag.sales.lead_score +10 { interaction.content contains_any "love, awesome, brilliant" }
// Has concerns
tag.sales.lead_score -5 { interaction.content contains_any "expensive, cost" }
// Strongly put off purchasing
tag.sales.lead_score -15 { interaction.content contains_any "unreliable, poor review" }
All of these scoring rules affect the final value of tag.sales.lead_score, either adding to it or subtracting from it. For instance, suppose an interaction contains this text:
I might buy one, but they look quite expensive
The first of these scoring rules matches "buy" so we add 20 to the score. The second rule does not match but the third matches "expensive" and so we subtract 5. Since the last rule does not match anything, the overall score is 15.
In this case, all the scores are integer values but they are stored as floating point numbers so you can use decimals in your CSDL. We support accuracy to 13 significant figures, although numbers are held internally to greater accuracy to ensure there are no rounding errors.
Understanding the output
If we apply tags to these two input objects:
"interaction": {
"content": "I might buy one, but they look quite expensive"
"interaction": {
"content": "It looks brilliant, but I've heard it's unreliable"
The output looks like this:
"interaction": {
"content": "I might buy one, but they look quite expensive"
"tag_tree": {
"sales": {
"lead_score": 15
"interaction": {
"content": "It looks brilliant, but I've heard it's unreliable",
"tag_tree": {
"sales": {
"lead_score": -5
For reasons of brevity, these JSON objects are shown here as fragments with only the relevant elements visible.

Business capabilities or business processes
Business processes are used commonly for a long time. Most of the architecture community is using different notations for describing business processes. It doesn't matter if it's a known standard such as BPMN or custom notation, we are all finding ourselves describing business processes which are taking place in our enterprise.
Business capabilities, abilities or function are less common, although they might be more important to us as enterprise architects. If you want to understand why business capabilities might be more important to you, keep on reading this short post.
There is a basic difference between business capabilities and business processes. The first is "What" the business can do in order to reach it business goals and objectives, while the second is "How" the business is doing those abilities, or what are the actions that taking place in order to do each one of those capabilities. For example, we as human have capability of reading. In order to do this capability we need to see, understand characters, combine them into words and combine words into sentences. Needless to say that it's much easier to grasp and describe business processes (or how we're doing task) rather then thinking what are the capabilities that we need in order to reach our business goals and objectives. It's easier to ask people what they are doing and simply to document it by following any description language.
Capabilities, on the contrary, are more difficult to deal with. They are more abstract, and everything with higher level of abstraction takes more time and effort. But, capabilities have one huge advantage. What the business is doing is rarely changed while how the business is doing it tend to change a lot. If we'll get back to humans, the ability to read always exists. Reading might be achieved differently by blind people, but they still have the ability to read.
For enterprise architects who are building agile architecture it seems that abilities (which rarely changed) are more important then business processes (which tend to be changed). The ability of enterprise architect to command his enterprise capabilities is vital to create agile architecture that will support business changes over time. To better command your enterprise business capabilities set what are the basic attributes that each one of your enterprise capabilities should have and assign them values. After understanding capabilities start to map and model the processes that the enterprise is doing to achieve those capabilities. If you'll define the right capabilities and their attributes you can turn them into services that your enterprise need in order to reach it goals and objectives.

Sony Hackers Take Canada
On Tuesday, Sony Ericsson Canada's eShop, an online store for mobile phones and accessories, was breached, exposing the personal details of thousands of users. Sony Ericsson has disabled the website and claims it was not conncted to any Sony Ericsson servers.
"On 24 May, Sony Ericsson can confirm that it experienced a security breach of an externally hosted website in Canada," said a spokesperson. "As a result, approximately 2000 customer records, including first name, last name, email addresses and the hash of the encrypted passwords were obtained by an outside party.
"No additional personal or credit card details have been compromised."
This is the tenth known Sony hack since attacks against the Sony PlayStation Network and Qriocity online services in early April. According to The Hacker News, the personal details of a thousand users in Canada were exposed and posted not only on Pastebin, a storage ground for text files mostly used by programmers, but in users' Facebook and Twitter accounts. Lebanese hacker "Idahc" claimed responsibility for the attack.
Yesterday we reported that Sony Music Japan's site was breached through an SQL injection; on Sunday the personal details of users of the Sony Music Greece website were posted. Hackers also managed to infiltrate Sony's subsidiary ISP, So-net Entertainment Corp., and make off with around $1,225 in redeemable gift points; another hack launched a phishing site on one of Sony's servers in Thailand.
As a result, Sophos security consultant Chester Wisniewski recently wrote in a blog post that "there is an enormous target on Sony's back."

Do you know what can make a decision clear quicker than anything? Knowing the consequences of your decision before you make it. You may notice a strong emphasis in this week's Deuteronomy readings on blessings and curses. Basically, through Moses, God gives the Israelites a scenario and explains that they can choose blessings or curses. One decision leads them down one path and the other down a different path. Whether they didn't believe him, doubted the severity, or the temptation was just too strong, they unfortunately frequently chose curses. Just to give you a little cheat sheet – faithfulness to God leads to blessings; being unfaithful leads to curses. It's pretty simple overall.
Starting today, and for the rest of our time in Luke, Jesus is definitively headed toward the cross. In the first verse of today's Luke reading it says, "When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem." Throughout the rest of our readings until Palm Sunday, we will read over and over that he is headed to Jerusalem. He know his earthly ministry would end and his purpose would be fulfilled in Jerusalem with his death and resurrection.
This week, as we finish up Lent and prepare for Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Easter, take time to thank Jesus for his resolute dedication to heading towards the cross.

The Emperor's New Clothes

Ohh I love Barbecue Pulled Pork....I've been eating it for years so it's not new to me....ReplyDelete
The 'Date Night' phrase really annoys me...lolReplies
I'm sure it's great really, I just don't want 87 celebrity chefs sharing their recipes for it with me like they invented it or something.Delete
Here's my input: in the US, pulled pork *mostly* refers to the BBQ kind. It's absolutely delicious because you cook the pork, then pull it, then drench it in sauce and let it continue to cook in the slow cooker. The meat absorbs the sauce and is so moist and just melts in your mouth - it's amazing!ReplyDelete
Carpet picnics, staycations, and chimineas (just have a bonfire - they are so much fun!) - I agree with you.
Date night - I totally have to disagree on this one. I think it's important to continue to "date" even after you are in a committed relationship. Maybe I'm just needy but I love having my man continue to "woo" me from time to time. ;)Replies
It really is the latest must cook recipe here at the moment. If it really is nice then that's fine but people seem to act like they've just invented it. Most annoying!Delete
I think date night is probably more common a phrase in the US anyway. I have no problem with people going out with their partners (I do it sometimes too!). It's just really odd how they seem to be using this phrase to describe it all of a sudden.
Glad you agree on the others - blooming silly they are!

Students Change Hunger is a school-based, statewide food drive competition which provides an opportunity for students, parents, teachers and staff to help those less fortunate by collecting food and/or funds for their local food bank. Schools are categorized by the size of their student population and compete against one another in an effort to alleviate hunger. The top schools in each division are given special awards at the end of the campaign. In addition, one school is given the top prize, The Governor's Cup—an award endorsed by Governor Phil Murphy, for the school that displays the most spirit, leadership, and active participation throughout the competition.
Here's How it Works:
This year schools throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties will be collecting food and donations from Mid-September through mid-December. Join us for the campaign's 13th anniversary! Last year 67,336 pounds of food and $44,256 in funds were collected by 72 schools in Monmouth and Ocean Counties representing over 50,000 students. This brings the new total to more than 756,000 pounds raised and over $262,000 raised since the initial start of the program in 2007. Together we can top last year! It's not too late to register your school!

I'm not sure I ever set out to be a writer. When I was younger I wanted to be a newspaper reporter a la Lois Lane. I then learnt that the proper term was 'journalist'. I graduated a journalist, ready to take on the world. I became an editorial assistant, deputy editor and editor. I'm now a proofreader, journalist or editor. So the question remains, am I a writer? Have I ever been a writer? Do all failed writers ultimately become editors? I'm not sure.
So 2014, I've decided, is the year to write. And not just that, but the year to write for me. The year to write for fun. Not to get published. Not to blog. Maybe not even to be read by others. But instead it's the year to get creative, to hone my craft, to journal, to play with words, to develop a discipline. The year to become a better writer.
I'm all set. My mum and dad kitted me out with a very meaningful and thoughtful gift at Christmas. They gave me a brand new journal, a pen, a typewriter brooch, a reading journal and a creative writing book. So what am I going to do? Here's three achievable commitments:
- Journal for five minutes per day. By hand. There is something more tangible about putting actual pen to actual paper. Filling up beautiful notebook, page by page. You track your journey. You progress through a finite book. It feels more creative, more emotional. It's for your eyes only - there's no publish button at the end. But in the same vein, it's for future generations - your grandchildren are far more likely to finger through your old diaries than they are to look through your computer folders! You can achieve five minutes per day. But you don't have to stop at five minutes - pour out your heart.
- Spend five minutes on a creative writing exercise. These exercises help you to write about something specific without the end goal being publication. But you never know where they might lead or what they might combine to create. They're short and snappy so you can fit them in but they get you thinking creatively about every day topics.
- Invest in your writing first. Before you sit down to blog, work, edit, proofread or administrate, before you do anything else, write. Your blogging and editing will be better if you have done your journalling and creative writing first. See it as an investment in yourself. In your talent. In your career. Turn it into a daily discipline or ritual. Get the baby off for a nap, sit down with your favourite drink and spend these 10 minutes writing. For yourself. It's only 10 minutes, you'll still get everything else done!
Today I'm linking up at the #AllAboutYou Link & Pin Party
