Therapeutic Boarding Schools
Therapeutic Boarding Schools or emotional growth boarding schools are designed to assist parents and their troubled teens with behavior modification. These programs offer a specialized structure to improve a teenager's physical, emotional, behavioral, family, social, intellectual, and academic development. This is done by working through the root cause of the problem within the troubled teens.
As the market is expanding, more boarding schools and programs are becoming available to troubled teenagers and their families. After researching the options and choosing a therapeutic boarding school, your teenager might be resistant to going. If this is the case many programs offer an escort service, and will even travel with your teenager to the program to ensure that they arrive safely.
Once they begin the program they will be exposed to methods designed for reinforcing desired behavior, while eliminating undesired behaviors. This can include violence, depression, sexually acting out, and academic failure. In order to fully treat the teenager, they need to understand that "every action causes a reaction", meaning that every issue has an underlying cause.
Treatments can include a blend of psychotherapy and academics in a residential setting. Both profit and non-profit therapeutic schools have had success with helping out-of-control teenagers. Unfortunately, these programs can be costly and many parents believe that they can't afford it. However, some insurance companies will assist with the overall cost along with local school districts.
When a troubled teenager has become too out of control for normal discipline and daily activities; it's important for parents to actively seek treatment. There are many options available to treat behavior issues and medical disorders such as ADHD in teenagers. A well-rounded therapeutic boarding school shouldn't be considered as a last resort, but an opportunity to turn a teen's life around to ensure future success.

What Goes Into a Graduate Counseling Degree Program?
If you possess a passion for helping others and providing much-needed support for them during difficult times, you may be interested in pursuing a career in counseling. In order to become a licensed counselor, students typically must earn at least a master's degree in counseling. However, some states may require a doctoral degree in the subject, so check directly with your prospective school or state board for the requirements of licensure. Due to the fact that counselors will often be working with mental health patients and dealing with sensitive issues, ample education and training is mandatory. In a graduate counseling program, students will take courses in abnormal psychology, adolescent development, psychotherapy fundamentals, drug counseling, and other related topics. Students are encouraged to take the classes that relate to their future career goals. For example, if you aspire to become a counselor for young children and families, then during your graduate school career, you may strive to take classes in child psychology, family structures, and early childhood development. On the other hand, if you aspire to become a counselor for recovering substance abuse addicts, you may strive to take classes in drug use, alcoholism, and rehabilitation techniques. Most degree programs also require supervised fieldwork and a lengthy dissertation before graduation.
What Jobs Can Graduate Counseling Degree Holders Get?
Most graduates of a master's or doctoral degree program in counseling go on to work as licensed counselors. Certification and licensure requirements vary from state to state, so before graduating, students should look into the requirements of the state where they intend to practice. Counselors can work in a variety of settings, from high schools to colleges to private practices, depending on the type of clients they wish to see. Employment opportunities for counselors are prosperous across the board, though some types of counselors are projected to see much more growth in the coming decade than others. For example, job openings for mental health counselors are expected to increase 24% during the 2008-18 decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, pouring in approximately 27,200 new jobs into the market. On the other hand, job openings for marriage and family therapists are projected to increase 14%, adding in 3,900 new jobs, the BLS reports. However, even the least prosperous niche in counseling is expected to experience positive growth. As mental health becomes less taboo and more important in the public eye, the demand for counselors of all types will undoubtedly expand.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars
Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars • HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLEN !!
Well, hmmm .... what to paint today. I didn't have any 'models', so I took off my Chucks and created a painting of them. I wear them everyday and I just love them! I used to have several pair - all sort of colors - and I wore them all of the time. Throughout Paris and Provence, all day, all night.
But, I will say that Converse must have redesigned the instep because they are so much more comfortable today than years ago.
And, my new pair is black and pink. Really cute. Oddly enough, I couldn't find this style on the Converse website. That's ok. Now I don't have to worry about attending a gala and finding someone else wearing the same sneaks!
If you would like to purchase a 6" x 6" oil painting on stretched canvas that you see on this site, or commission a painting that is special to you, please email me.
These paintings are priced at $100.00 plus s/h.
Thank You!

Sometimes connecting to a server with SSH is very tedious, enter the password at anytime is boring.
Create a RSA password
Go to your home
If not exist, create a directory named '.ssh'
mkdir .ssh
Create a password in that directory
cd .ssh/
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f pass
This will generate 2 keys, one public and another private, 'pass.pub' and 'pass'. 'pass' is our private key, this means that we have not to share it, 'pass.pub' is our public key and is the key that we have to export to the server.
Create the authorized_keys file in your server
Connect with the server that you want to connect without password through SSH (o another protocol):
ssh SERVER
If not exist, create a directory called '.ssh' in your home, and then, into it another file named 'authorized_keys':
mkdir .ssh
touch .ssh/authorized_keys
Import your password to the server
Don't close the console, open a new one and copy the public key (the content of the 'pass.pub' file)
vim .ssh/pass.pub
Select all the content and copy it (Ctrl+Shift+C) Now open the last console (where you stay logged into the server, if you had closed it, reconnect) Ahora abre la terminal de antes (En la que estás logeado en el servidor) (Si la has cerrado vuelve a logearte) and paste the public key into the authorized_keys file, after logout.
vim .ssh/authorized_keys
Import the key into the ssh agent
In your local machine:
ssh-add .ssh/pass
At this moment you can enter into the server without password.
Important: If we have setted an external key (Like our case), every time that the agent inits (every time that we reboot the machine) we have to repeat the step 4 for correct identity import.

- Gary West, 54, won $250,000 from a $20 Iowa Lottery scratch-off ticket last week.
- The security guard from Ankeny scored $100,000 on another scratch-off ticket 12 years ago.
- West said he hopes to buy a car and share some of the winnings with his family.
A security guard in Iowa just won a six-figure lottery prize for the second time in 12 years.
Gary West claimed his $250,000 prize from the Iowa Lottery $20 scratch-off game on Monday.
The 54-year-old from Ankeny scored $100,000 on another scratch-off ticket 12 years ago, according to a press release from Iowa Lottery.
"This is my second time, so I'm feeling more experienced," the security guard at the Facebook data center in Altoona told the Iowa Lottery as he collected his winnings.
West bought the ticket last week from a gas station as he redeemed prizes from other tickets he had previously purchased.
He scratched off the winning ticket in his car in the parking lot, and immediately returned to the store to verify the prize on a self-checking machine.
"It also told me what I thought I was seeing," he told Iowa Lottery. "By that time, after verifying it to myself three times, I thought 'OK, it looks like we did it.'"
West told his sister and nephew about the win, but had to wait over the weekend to redeem his prize on Monday.
"It's just like I couldn't have enough bodyguards around that ticket," he said. "It's just like, 'Man, get me through this weekend so I can get over there Monday morning and get this cashed."
West said he hopes to buy a car and share some of the winnings with his family.
His $250,000 is the first of 18 top prizes in the lottery's Aces High scratch-off game.

Welcome to More Mindful Counselling & Psychotherapy services in Singapore.
The Clinical Director and Registered Counsellor, Silvia Wetherell, holds a Certification in Perinatal Mental Health by Postpartum Support International. Issues worked through in counselling include:
At times healthcare professionals forget the importance of the psychological and emotional aspects that impact on a woman's ability to mother and yet research into infant development continues to highlight the importance of the mother's psychological and emotional wellbeing during pregnancy and early motherhood.
The ability of the caregiver to regulate (not suppress) her own emotions has been shown to contribute significantly to the infant's sense of security and capacity for healthy emotional development.
The counsellors work in a gentle and compassionate person-centred way.There is no one-size-fits-all approach as each person has her own unique history, family dynamic, social and cultural influences, parenting philosophies and present challenges.

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam. It is therefore one of the foundations for living a prosperous and meaningful life. The beloved Messenger of Allah (saw) affirmed the importance of Zakat in the famous hadith, when questioned by Jibril about Islam, He (saw) responded "Islam is to testify that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to pay Zakat , to fast in Ramadan, and to make pilgrimage to Makkah if you are able to do so." Sahih Hadith.
Zakat is first and foremost a compulsory act of worship and not simply a voluntary act of charity. This important distinction is critical in understanding that Zakat doesn't just change the life of the receiver of the Zakat or society in general but also has a significant impact on the life of the giver. Therefore, one should always remember that the paying of Zakat is primarily for one's own self.
The word zakat literally means 'that which purifies'. It comes from the root letters Za, Kay and Ya which have been used in the Quran numerous times with several related meanings: to be clean (24:21 and 23:4), to pay the obligatory charity (2:43), to be pure, innocent (19:19, 18:74), to increase in purity (18:81 and 19:13), and to claim purity (53:32).
Zakat is thus considered the way to purify one's income and wealth from any impurities in its acquisition. It further purifies the soul from miserliness and it also reminds Muslims that their wealth is from Allah and therefore they have been obligated to spending in the way of Allah. In doing so, it cures from the illness of the love of worldly possessions.
This Ramadan, when you give your Zakat through Zohra Foundation, you can be sure that your money will be used entirely in accordance with Shari'ah guidance on the most needy of causes Insha'Allah. You can learn more about our work this Ramadan by clicking [here]. Please ensure that you inform us that the donation is for Zakat when making payment so that we can ensure it is spent appropriately.

Scripting in Python for ArcGIS – Building on the Basics (1st OFFERING)
Presenter(s): Jennifer Harrison
This workshop teaches how to write scripts in Python for GIS beyond what is covered in the Python for ArcGIS Basics workshop. It assumes a basic knowledge of Python syntax and rules, and a good understanding of ArcGIS. We will discuss using conditional statements to compare values, looping constructs to create scripts that work on multiple datasets, and using the List functions in ArcGIS. We'll also help you get more comfortable with Python syntax, and learn more ways that Python can be incorporated into your GIS workflows.
Key Takeaway: Participants will build on their basic scripting knowledge, so that they can better write scripts to help with their GIS data management tasks.
Intended Audience: This workshop is for GIS professionals who have been through the basics of Python workshop or who have some very basic knowledge of scripting in ArcGIS.
About the presenter(s):
Jennifer Harrison is the CEO of TeachMeGIS. Jennifer has a B.A. in Mathematics and an M.S. in Geosciences from Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky. She has been consulting in the GIS field since 1992 and has been teaching Esri software (ArcGIS, Workstation ARC/INFO, AML® and ArcView) since 1997. Jenny has been named one of ESRI's top 5 instructors in the US for several quarters.

Actually, a musical setting of the great prayer, The Angelus – so appropriate year-round, but become a Christmas standard, like so many other traditional Latin songs/hymns. Here is Chanticleer performing:
Art: Music
And for your musical entertainment…
I got to see these guys – the L.A. Guitar Quartet – perform (and perform this particular piece) at the Eastern Music Festival a couple years ago.
I've got to learn this by Sunday
more beauty
I seem to be on a Morten Lauridsen kick of late. First the beautiful "O Magnum Mysterium," and now "Dirait-On," from a poem by Rilke – translated here. The poem and the translation are down the page a bit.
and this is bliss…
It appears we were good –
Here's a review of our performance, Saturday, of the Verdi Requiem. Enough good cannot be said about our soloists; for the first time in mind, I've come from a concert not disappointed. The Mezzo, Christy Brown, particularly deserves praise – her range extended from a G below middle C all the way up to a high A, and she made it sound soooo easy –
Funny that the reviewer should mention the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves" ("Va, Pensiero") from Nabucco and"Lament of the Scottish Refugees" from MacBeth; we just sang both a mere two weeks ago! (Indeed, we did!)
He could be anywhere between the ages of 25 and 60, possessing a yuthful appearance but such incredible presence and power, not to mention expertise, that defies youth. And he, Maestro Francesco Maria Colombo, is conducting an opera Gala with the Opera Company of North Carolina this weekend.
It is my first experience singing opera.
Odd business, this. I'm the descendant of the Puritans, almost 100% English (a little Dutch thrown in a few generations back), with that stiff upper lip and deeply ingrained reserve the English are noted for – not to mention the traditions of self-denial and constraint of the females of the American South. And here I am singing opera choruses by Italian composers, being instructed by this Maestro to emote, to feel in the music as I'm not "supposed" to feel in real life.
"More sex!" he commanded for the women's trio of the Triumphal March from Aida. "Ladies, put more sex into your voices – use hormones!" We laughed, a little nervously I noticed…. how does one put sex into the voice????? But we appear to have succeeded; maybe those among us who have sung opera before know what he meant.
He told us to put more soul into "Patria Oppressa" (the Lament of the Scottish Refugees from Verdi's MacBeth) "It is the saddest thing Verdi ever wrote," he told us (and I'll take his word for it) – "the audience should be in tears!"
Emotion! Unaccustomed, a bit frightening –
We rehearsed … was it last night or is it still tonight? I got home at midnight, the cat woke me up at quarter til four… – here I am, posting – with the orchestra and soloists. Wonderful cast! (See here) Simply magic. I don't know Italian, and I don't know how a true proficient would rate these singers, but for my money (considerable with gas at nearly $3.30/gallon and that long drive to and from Raleigh) these men and women are outstanding – clear, impassioned, gifted…
The music touches something in me, and it's a bit scary. I found my thoughts going places I didn't want them to go, listening – places of such intense feeling that I am almost afraid of. I was taught to suppress feelings, to control them – but for me it's gone too far, I've lost the ability to cry even when it is appropriate and needful. During the rehearsal I felt frighteningly close to tears several times. I'm a little (!) concerned that I might break over and shed tears during the performance –
and, once begun, not be able to stop.
It occurs to me that there is something cathartic and therefore therapeutic about this music – I only wish I had a mentor to teach me how to use it well.

I met up with Kaitlyn & Rayce on Tybee Island's North Beach. Rayce is in the military and they currently live here in the Savannah area. The couple wanted to have some sunset engagement portraits before their May wedding in NY.
Tell us about yourselves. How did you meet? We met in college. Both of us came from out of state to Austin, Texas for school. Rayce was a music major and played at almost every school function. I probably got caught starring at him a few too many times and one night he approached me after playing.
How did you choose your dress for the session? My gold dress is by Gianni Bini which I bought at Dillard's totally as a last minute outfit for pictures. Neither of us actually knew what to wear and Rayce forgot his belt and tie that he was suppose to wear for those photos. But I couldn't be more happy with the way they all turned out.
Tell us about your ring!!! SO unique and pretty! My ring is so special and I had no idea Rayce was going to do the sapphire. I had mentioned to him before that I had wanted a unique ring and I'm so glad he remembered. The sapphire represents both of our birthstones and its also the month that we met. It probably would have been the month he proposed but being military we never really know till the last minute when we will get to see each other again ( and August was close enough).
Plans for wedding location? Our wedding is in May and will be in New York. We could not be more excited!
What made you select the Northern end of Tybee Beach as the location for your Engagement session? What did you like the most about the location? I chose the north side mostly because of the lighthouse. Once there I was so excited at all the possiblities and the rather empty beaches. It was completely perfect.

The DCX-16 is an autonomous, battery-powered data collector in stainless steel housing with a very small 16mm diameter. In applications where a small probe diameter is an advantage, the logger can record the water level (pressure) and the temperature over long periods.
The sensor, electronics, and battery are combined in one small diameter stainless steel housing. To extract data, the data collector must be removed from the measuring point, and the watertight screw cap that allows access to the read-out plug /interface must be unscrewed. The DCX-16 operates with an absolute pressure sensor. In shallow water, when the influence of air pressure fluctuations has to be taken into account, a second logger (barometric logger, sold separately) positioned on the surface of the water must be used to record the air pressure progression. The computer software then calculates the differential pressure or the water level by subtracting the two measured data.
Instead of a watertight screwed closure, these versions have a cable output. The interface plug is fixed on the sounding tube above the surface of the water with the help of a screw-on fixing disk. This means that there is no need to remove the DCX-16 SG/VG from the sounding tube in order to read the data.
In the VG version (reference pressure measurement), the reference pressure-compensating capillary is routed in the same cable into the read-out plug housing; this also contains the reference aperture (protected by a Gore-Tex® diaphragm) which produces the pressure equalization.
|Pressure Ranges
|0,8...11 bar
|Error Band
|max. 0,0025 %FS
|Long Term Stability
|typ. 1 mbar
Logger 5:

U.S. Election Assistance Commission Releases Election Data Interactive
Online Tool Helps Users Pull Election Data for Specific State and Local Jurisdictions, Compare with Others
News Release from U.S. Election Assistance Commission, December 15, 2017
Silver Spring, Md. – The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) recently released the EAVS Data Interactive, a new data visualization tool that allows users to pull data most relevant to them from the 2016 Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS), the most comprehensive nationwide data on election administration in the United States.
For the first time, election officials, academics, activists and other stakeholders in the election process can examine specific data at the state and local level, as well as compare such jurisdictions side-by-side. In tandem with the Data Interactive, the EAC has also released EAVS election data fact sheets for all 50 states. Fact sheets for Alaska, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming are now available. These are the latest in a series of resources launched by the EAC to present the EAVS data in new and dynamic ways.
"The mission of the EAVS has always been to provide data that can be used to improve the way America votes," said EAC Director of Research Sean Greene. "The EAVS Data Interactive's features mirror feedback we received from election community about how the survey could be made more meaningful and actionable. By allowing stakeholders to pull the information most relevant to them and comparing these results with other jurisdictions, this new tool gives officials and others the tools they need to make informed decisions about election administration and policy."
Since 2004, the EAC has captured and analyzed data from thousands of jurisdictions across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and presented the results of this survey in the biennial EAVS report. The data captured within this survey gives a detailed look inside the election process and information that can be used to improve future elections and voter experience. Over the last 12 years, the surveys have also demonstrated the impact of policy changes over time and shifting election trends, including more Americans voting before Election Day and a larger number of jurisdictions using technologies such as e-poll books.

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) was established by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). It is an independent, bipartisan commission charged with ensuring secure, accurate and accessible elections by developing guidance to meet HAVA requirements, adopting voluntary voting system guidelines, and serving as a national clearinghouse of information on election administration. EAC also accredits testing laboratories and certifies voting systems, as well as administers the use of HAVA funds. For more information, visit www.eac.gov.

Small business owners should revisit the amount of estimated tax payments
If you pay quarterly estimated tax payments, you may want to revisit the amount you pay.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed the way most taxpayers calculate their tax. These taxpayers include those with substantial income not subject to withholding, such as small business owners and self-employed individuals. The tax reform changes include:
• Revised tax rates and brackets
• New and revised business deductions
• Limiting or discontinuing deductions
• Increasing the standard deduction
• Removing personal exemptions
• Increasing the child tax credit
As a result of these changes, many taxpayers may need to raise or lower the amount of tax they pay each quarter through estimated taxes.
Alternatively, many taxpayers who receive income not subject to withholding, but who also receive income as an employee, may be able to avoid the requirement to make estimated tax payments by having more tax taken out of their pay. These taxpayers can use the Withholding Calculator on IRS.gov to perform a Paycheck Checkup. Doing so now may help avoid an unexpected year-end tax bill and possibly a penalty in the future.
Taxpayers with more complex situations might need to use IRS Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax, instead. This includes people who owe self-employment tax, the alternative minimum tax, or tax on unearned income from dependents, and people with capital gains or dividends.
Note that the IRS is waiving the estimated tax penalty for many taxpayers whose 2018 federal income tax withholding and estimated tax payments fell short of their total tax liability for the year. This relief is designed to help taxpayers who were unable to properly adjust their withholding and estimated tax payments to reflect an array of changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The IRS will generally waive the penalty for any taxpayer who paid at least 85 percent of their total tax liability during the year through federal income tax withholding, quarterly estimated tax payments or a combination of the two. The usual percentage threshold is 90 percent to avoid a penalty.
For more information about the penalty and requesting the waiver, see IRS Form 2210 and its instructions.

My experience at the border
More stories from Chase Petrulis
February 11, 2019
You hear all the horror stories of people crossing the border but my trip across was relatively tame. We got across fine minus one apple and a close call on the ham sandwiches.
The car checks at the border do seem to be relatively biased based off of how likely you look to be smuggling something across. My five-member white family obviously was not very suspicious and we only got asked about whether or not we had bags of fruit. When we said we had one apple they took it from us and left us with a goodbye.
At the border, there were about as many cameras as there were angry old folks on the plane to Montana. They are even cameras looking at other cameras. And then directly after the border, there's a good two hours until the next bathroom.
The border crossing I was at may not have been the most hardcore and maybe it's not that tough in general and it might be being blown out of proportion. But as far as security goes down there it would be very difficult to cross anywhere near that checkpoint.

Mirages of International Justice
The Elusive Pursuit of a Transnational Legal Order
Matthew Parish
Chapter 2: International Law: The Legacy of the Twentieth Century
Matthew Parish
If we had to choose one person as the father of modern international law, it would be not Grotius but Woodrow Wilson. These two figures are worth comparing briefly. Their goals were similar. Both sought to develop sets of legal rules which dictate the behaviour of states in their mutual confrontations. The subject matter of these rules in both cases was the circumstances in which states were entitled to go to war with one another, and the way those wars should be fought when they occur. Both advanced their ideas in the context of wars that had exacted a brutal toil on human life. Grotius wrote in the midst of the bloody Thirty Years War, in which it is estimated that between 3 and 12 million people died. Wilson advanced his ideas in the aftermath of World War I, in which between 15 and 30 million people may have died. The purpose of the international law they developed was to prevent the horrors of future warfare and massive loss of life. Yet there was a profound difference in the sorts of international legal regime each thinker advocated. Grotius's masterpiece De Jure Belli ac Pacis (1625) was the first attempt to set out detailed rules for the conduct of states in their hostile relations with one another. The array of topics he addresses is exceptionally broad, including performance of treaty obligations, duties to respect foreign property, authority of agents to bind sovereigns, embassies and diplomatic immunity, prisoners of war, plunder of...

Our life is surrounded by experiences of number of products and services some good many bitter :( unfortunately in the country like us where consumer is still unorganised one can just pant and fume over the bitter experiences and let go on the other hand regarding some good experiences we cant share them effectively to aid others to make their mind in choosing the right options.
One of Alok's tweets reminded me of an idea I thought about sometime back to teach a bloody lesson to the companies who don't care about their consumers.
Today these companies are fooling us happily as they know that disgruntled customer cant do much besides due to gigantic growth they are getting loads of first time customers as a result they don't bother to retain their existing customers. Actually its a saying in Sales that its easier to retain the customer than to acquire a new one however such sayings are becoming myths :( You walk in to any mobile company sales outlet and you find chaos, old customers quarreling for inefficient service and immediately next to them new customers buying the connections.
I have thought of a website which will quantify the harm done by stupid performance of the product or bad quality of the service received by the consumer on the sales of that company.

Revelation 14 - Steve Wiggins Daily Devotional
"Then I saw another angel flying in mid-Heaven, having the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the Earth – to every nation, tribe, language, and people. He spoke with a loud voice: "Fear G_d and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the Maker of Heaven and Earth, the sea, and springs of water." Revelation 14:6-7
In this chapter, G_d is shown working behind the scenes of history, preparing rewards for His people and punishments for those who disobey Him. Believers are warned against falling away and encouraged to remain faithful.
It is not easy to suffer, all the while blessing G_d. The whole scenario of "G_d-willed" suffering is askew with much of what the modern Community of Messiah (the Church) has adopted as doctrine. But it is important to remember that the suffering of believers is Scriptural, and thus good. We suffer for several reasons. G_d teaches us the depth of our faith, when situations He ordains demand that we either trust Him, or seize control. G_d rebukes the Enemy when we faithfully endure trials, such as the case with Job. Our shared suffering with non-believers is also a wonderful opportunity to bear witness to the object of our faith, peace, and joy.
Until now (In the book of the Revelation), what has seemed like G_d's judgment, compared to our present-day life existences, has actually been intended to provoke people to repentance. Consider these verses, in light of the angel's testimony in today's passage:
"Even now – this is the Lord's declaration – turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Tear your hearts, not just your clothes, and return to the L_rd your G_d. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in faithful love, and He relents from sending disaster. Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind Him, so you can offer grain and new wine to the L_rd your G_d." Joel 2:12-14
"The L_rd does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. But the day of the L_rd will come like a thief; on that day the Heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the Earth and the works on it will be disclosed." 2 Peter 3:9-10
Before the bowl judgments, even at this late hour of this World's season, there is a final plea for salvation, addressed to anyone who would accept the message of the Gospel.
Have you come to the point in your spiritual life, where you know for certain that you have eternal life? The Lo_d has delayed His return, so that as many as possible might believe. But there is coming a time when that invitation will be withdrawn, and it will be as if a thief had stolen your moment away. Don't let that "thief" be your own stubbornness. Turn to Yeshua today.

My sale pick ups included this rich wine coloured robe coat which had been sitting in my online basket for ages! I love everything about it, from its colour, its texture down to its warmth. With the coat being rather statement I played down other parts of my outfit buy simply wearing black.
Other components of my outfit included Thick socks paired with Dr Martens to combat the cold weather. Cropped trousers for a more edgy look, my everyday wear fur clutch and my over sized glasses for some quirk.

Crocosaurus Cove is always an interesting place to visit. Showcasing live crocodiles, hatchlings, the Cage of Death and full of interesting fun facts about this prehistoric creature and other Top End aquatic life.
Parap Markets
The Saturday morning ritual for locals is to visit Parap Markets for Mary's Laksa and a fresh fruit juice.
People have flocked to Parap Markets for over 20 years for a bowl of Mary's Laksa, you really must try it! A spicy Malaysian soup made from Asian spices, chilli, candlenuts, and coconut milk, served over homemade rice noodles, lettuce and your choice of toppings. Divine!

Read more about Kakadu and experience it all.

Enjoy lunch at Cooinda before driving back to Darwin.
Chill out at the Deckchair Cinema
Wrap up your fabulous week in the Top End with one of Darwin's favourite cinema experiences. The Darwin Deckchair Cinema is one of the most unique experiences to be had in the Top End. Its a unique outdoor cinema experience you won't want to miss.

Do the Top End
The Top End really does have the best winters in Australia!
Slow down, dress down. The pace in the Top End has a 'no rush' feel about it.
The dress code is decidedly casual. Shorts, Tshirts, thongs (of the footwear kind) will not be out of place. You won't need winter wear but a light sweater might be useful if the breezes pick up once the sun goes down.
There's so much more to do in the Top End
- Darwin boasts the Best Lifestyle in Australia
- Discover the best Top End National Parks
- Turtle Tracks on Bare Sand Island
- 20 top restaurants in Darwin
- Trend setting bars and eateries you must try in Darwin
- Darwin's Beer Can Regatta
5 Essential Items to get set for your Top End adventure
- A Good Camera: There will be plenty of great photo moments in the Australia so bring along a good camera. I highly recommend the Sony A6000. It's light, compact and takes amazing photos!
- Beach Shoes: The outdoor lifestyle in Australia means you will need specially designed beach shoes (commonly called thongs)! Be comfortable, and treat yourself to a pair here. Perfect to for long walks on our beautiful beaches.
- An Australian Guidebook: There is nothing like Lonely Planet Guidebooks so get yourself a copy of their Australia Travel Guide to take you to all the best spots to visit.
- A Stainless Steel Water Bottle: Stay hydrated in the harsh Australian sun. Get yourself a Yeti stainless water bottle and refill as you go. Australian tap water is drinkable … and free!
- Good Sun Hat: You will need a good sun hat for protection. In my opinion you can't go past this packable and foldable Furtalk Womens Beach Hat. Don't ruin your holiday with sunburn!
Where to stay in the Top End

Thursday 19th July 2018 - Swift Watch - Burton Memorial Hall, Cocking Yard and Neddy Hill and the Royal rear annexe buildings 2030hrs to 2200hrs
Shows the two new sites on the front of the Royal Cottage (Click over to enlarge)
Shows the site at Clawthorpe Hall were the Swift was seen leaving the nest earlier today
Tonights observers included: Reg Hesketh, Sue Miles, Angela Sumner, Bryan Yorke
It was also reported:
Earlier in the day (0900hrs to 0945hrs) that Bryan Yorke had been to check out the Ducketts site at Clawthorpe Hall and he had 11 birds at times flying around screaming above their nest sites. A single bird was seen to leave the established nest site on the residential building about mid-way across. We do have 3 sites already recorded over past years and can only presume that there will be at least 3 breeding pairs here if not more!
Sue Miles was checking out the front of the Royal Cottage last week (Thursday last up until 2210hrs) and was able to establish a further two nest sites which we had not previously recorded and so we have now also been able to update this area with a further two sites (it's all good news!). She noticed activity seemed to finish around the 2210hrs.
Reg attended yesterdays meeting in regards to the proposed building of new properties which will back up on land near to the recreational areas. He was able to attend the meeting representing our group and made introductions with the architect.
The group have been contacted by Carolyn Knowlman from Amboise in France and she runs a similar Swift group to us over there. She was writing to invite us to correspond with their group. We all agreed it would be a great idea. She also has a Swift site is fabulous and is called "Association for the safeguarding of Black Marinets" her site address is: https://sosmartinets.com Its a fabulous site and safe to use although it may be flagged up by Norton or McAfee, just ignore the flag and enter the site all is safe.
The next Swift watch will be next Friday 27th July 2018 - Meeting at the Memorial Hall at 2030hrs (Please note change of night from Thursday to Friday) - Everyone Welcome

Developments at the EEOC: On May 8, 2019, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Office of Federal Operations (OFO) issued its decision in Lidia B. v. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, EEOC Appeal No. 2019001712. Lidia B. involved a settlement agreement where the Agency had agreed to reassign Complainant Lidia B. to a specific office where Complainant was on detail, to be accompanied by a transfer of Complainant's full-time equivalent (FTE), and a recredit of Complainant's leave. After the settlement agreement was signed, the Agency then unilaterally declared the settlement agreement void on grounds of alleged mutual mistake, claiming that there was no position to reassign Complainant to in the receiving office (because the Agency hadn't moved over Complainant's FTE yet). The Agency took back Complainant's leave recredit and unilaterally reinstated Complainant's EEO complaint for processing. Complainant timely petitioned to enforce the breached settlement agreement, and further amended in a new claim while OFO was considering Complainant's Petition for Enforcement. OFO agreed with Complainant, finding that no mutual mistake had occurred, and therefore the Agency was bound to implement the terms of its settlement agreement. OFO accordingly declared the settlement agreement reinstated and ordered the Agency to implement all remedies in the settlement. OFO ordered the Agency to update its claims processing for the reinstated EEO complaint to reflect that the original claim was settled, with processing to continue on Complainant's later-amended claim (which was outside the scope of the settlement agreement). OFO further ordered the Agency to pay Complainant's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
Developments at the MSPB: Reprisal for Whistleblower Settlement
Developments at the MSPB: On November 22, 2016, the Merit Systems Protection Board (Board) issued its decision in Elder v. Department of the Air Force, 2016 MPSB 41. The Board reversed the removal of Mr. Elder, finding retaliation for Mr. Elder's efforts to enforce his whistleblower complaint settlement agreement.
Developments at the MSPB: Suspension Reversed
Developments at the MSPB: On January 21, 2016, the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) issued its decision in Martin v. U.S. Postal Service, 2016 MSPB 6. Reversing the decision below, the MSPB found that Ms. Martin had been suspended without due process, and ordered the Agency to retroactively reinstate her to duty with back pay.
News from the Federal Circuit: No Breach of ADR Confidentiality Claim
News from the Federal Circuit: On January 14, 2015, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued its decision in Higbie v. U.S., __F.3d__, No. 2014-5042. The panel, 2-1, rejected Higbie's claim that violations of the mediation confidentiality agreement from a federal-sector EEO complaint mediation should give rise to breach-of-contract remedies under the Tucker Act.
News from the Federal Circuit: Court Retains Jurisdiction for Settlement Breach
News from the Federal Circuit: In Cunningham v. United States, No. 2013-5055 (4/9/14), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that the Court of Federal Claims had jurisdiction over breach of a settlement agreement claims, and can award money damages to the claimant, despite other avenues for redress of the breach.
Developments at the MSPB: Settlements Easier to Enforce
Developments at the MSPB: The MSPB's recent decision, Kitt v. U.S. Navy, 2011 MSPB 82 (September 2, 2011), granting a petition to enforce a settlement agreement, expressly overruled a twenty-year-old decision which had made it difficult to enforce an arguably imprecise settlement agreement.This decision represents a common-sense approach to the interpretation of settlement agreements.

Developments at the OSC: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) recently reached a settlement agreement on behalf of whistleblower Ken Downey, a long-time supervisor with the Blaine (Washington) Sector Communication Center of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP). OSC investigations revealed that CBP illegally retaliated against Mr. Downey for making a series of whistleblower disclosures of agency misconduct by proposing to fire Mr. Downey, suspending him, transferring him indefinitely to another border patrol station, issuing him a reprimand, removing his supervisory duties, and failing to promote him despite a favorable recommendation from his supervisor.
EEOC Report for FY 2010 Shows Continued Discrimination Against Fed Employees
Developments at the EEOC: The EEOC's recently released FY 2010 Annual Report confirms that Federal Employees continue to experience discrimination in the workplace. The 16,480 individuals who filed discrimination claims in FY 2010 comprise a tiny proportion of the Federal Workforce (.3 percent of the overall Federal workforce, and .7 percent of the Executive Branch workforce), but the trend is still on the rise. According to the Report, "The number of complaints filed increased by 3.8% over the previous year and there was a 4.1% increase in the number of individuals who filed complaints over the same period."

Our guide to plays and musicals coming to New York stages — and a few last-chance picks of shows that are about to close. Our reviews of open shows are at nytimes.com/reviews/theater.
Previews and Openings
'BAGHDADDY' at St. Luke's Theater (in previews; opens on May 1). There are known knowns, there are known unknowns and then there is a musical offering an absurd yet apparently plausible explanation for how the United States went to war in Iraq. Reviewing an earlier production of this Marshall Pailet and A. D. Penedo show, Anita Gates described it as "an important, cunning, rock-solid musical comedy."
212-239-6200, baghdaddymusical.com
'IN & OF ITSELF' at the Daryl Roth Theater (in previews; opens on April 12). Now you see him; now you … see him again. Derek DelGaudio, a magician somewhat more droll than most of the presto-chango set, had a hit a few years ago with the two-man magic act "Nothing to Hide." He returns to New York with a new show, directed by Frank Oz, involving prestidigitation, mentalism and autobiographical vignettes.
800-745-3000, inandofitselfshow.com
'OSLO' at the Vivian Beaumont Theater (in previews; opens on April 13). J. T. Rogers's political intrigue, based on true events, comes to Broadway. Jefferson Mays and Jennifer Ehle play a resourceful Norwegian couple who facilitate a peace process. When it played off Broadway, Ben Brantley called the drama "a vivid, thoughtful and astonishingly lucid account of a byzantine chapter in international politics."
212-239-6200, lct.org
'PACIFIC OVERTURES' at Classic Stage Company (in previews; opens on May 4). An ocean away, Classic Stage prepares for a revival of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's musical about Japan's dawning modernization, directed by John Doyle and starring George Takei. Set in the mid-19th century, it advances toward the present in musical styles that borrow from both the East and West.
866-811-4111, classicstage.org
'THE PROFANE' at Playwrights Horizons (in previews; opens on April 9). Zayd Dohrn's play, which won the 2016 Horton Foote Prize for promising new American play, centers on the uneasy intertwining of two first-generation American families, one westernized, the other less so. Kip Fagan directs a cast including Ali Reza Farahnakian, Heather Raffo and Babak Tafti.
212-279-4200, playwrightshorizons.org
Last Chance
'946: THE AMAZING STORY OF ADOLPHUS TIPS' at St. Ann's Warehouse (closes on April 9). The British company Kneehigh brings some song and dance to World War II in its adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's novella about a girl who loses her cat. Laura Collins-Hughes described this production by Emma Rice as a "larkish and mournful love letter to the past."
866-811-4111, stannswarehouse.org
'THE OUTER SPACE' at Joe's Pub (closes on April 9). Ethan Lipton's solo sci-fi musical, directed by Leigh Silverman, imagines life light-years from the nearest bodega. Sly, grumpy and thumpingly humane, it tells the story of a couple trading gentrifying New York City for the grayer pastures of Mercury. But it's less about getting away from it all than it is about getting over yourself. Listen in and lift off.
212-967-7555, publictheater.org/joes-pub-at-the-public
'PARAMOUR' at the Lyric Theater (closes on April 16). Cirque du Soleil's attempt at a Broadway book musical gets ready to still its flying trapezes and ground its drones. A Hollywood-set love triangle with ample circus acts, this show was described by Charles Isherwood as achieving "the singular feat of being simultaneously frenetic and tedious."

As the new month started it has brought a good deed for most of the altcoins in the market. Ripple's XRP and Stellar (XLM) are two fast growing digital currency networks. Ripple provides with ultra-fast and scalable transactions with its RippleNet's xRapid, whereas Stellar (XLM) is also one of few crypto's providing fast, cheap and reliable platform for transferring of money across borders.
Ripple is keeping on pushing XRP higher and higher as we near a new year. Similar is with XLM, despite having a bad year for cryptocurrency both of these coins have kept their price pretty stable around a certain mark. This is a sign for both the crypto's to have a pretty successful time in coming year.
The recent XRP surge once again overtook Ethereum (ETH) in the market rankings after rising up to almost 15% on 6th November. This was the third time XRP surpassed ETH in recent times. This shows a very bright future for XRP and a pure bullish trend coming for the coin in coming time.
In the meanwhile, the listing of XRP on the Coinbase takes another hype. Coinbase after their announcement that they will be adding new digital assets to their exchange have excited many crypto users of different coins. XRP users believe that the digital asset will be listed on the exchange as XRP has been one of the leading crypto's in the market. XRP has proved its worth in the market and has shown a sign that it will be replacing Ethereum permanently in coming time.
The current price surge of XRP is due to the Ripple entering the economic hub of Middle East, Dubai. Ripple has planned to open its office in Dubai expanding its network across the Middle Eastern countries. Dilip Roa, Ripple's global Chief of Infrastructure stated:
"We now have three banks in Saudi Arabia, two in Kuwait, one in Bahrain, one in Oma and a couple in the UAE and it really is out fastest growing marketplace."
So, this expansion of Ripple in middle east has helped XRP improve its price in the market. Ripple has been a backbone for XRP's performance in the market. In coming time, we will see XRP on top, it will be all due to Ripple's innovation, adoption and integration of its blockchain based liquidity products.
Stellar (XLM)
Stellar (XLM) is along XRP (Based on Ripple blockchain) is the digital asset which aims to improve the cross-border payment system with their rapid blockchain technology. XLM has a very strong growing technology which is a future prospect for the asset and this will lead it to moon. Stellar's invention of Interstellar has been a very crucial part of XLM and it has kept the crypto verse abuzz.
The recent surge in price of Stellar (XLM) has been due to its announcement of $125 million XLM giveaway. The cryptocurrency firm announced that the XLM wallet holders who will sign up for the airdrop will be awarded with free XLM. The $125 million giveaway will be the largest in cryptocurrency history, Stellar proclaimed:
"Most popular crypto wallet with over 25 million users added Lumens as 4th asset (after BTC, ETH & BCH). The biggest crypto airdrop—we are distributing $125M of Stellar XLM to our users to build on the crypto revolution. Sign up for the waitlist!"
So, all-in-all Stellar (XLM) looks pretty balanced heading to 2019 and in a bull run it will benefit a lot just like XRP. So, investors should keep an eye on both the crypto's and invest in them because the future will for XRP and XLM HODLers can be turning them into to millionaires.

From a famous automobile design company, Pininfarina now officially jumps into the automobile manufacturing business with their latest foundation of Automobili Pininfarina GmbH. And just at Geneva Motor Show 2019, the company has revealed their very first creation, as well as the very first "luxury hyper EV" in the market: Pininfarina Battista. So with no further ado, let's have a Pininfarina Battista first look!
The name "Pininfarina" is definitely a well-known name among automobile community by now. It all began with the man himself – Battista "Pinin" Farina – who founded the company "Carrozzeria Pinin Farina". As time passed by, the company's reputation grew as a professional automobile designer for many fantastic cars, including those from Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Lancia. And of course, we cannot forget their partnership with Ferrari, which brought out some of the best designs in the world like Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta Lusso, Ferrari 365 GTB/4, and Ferrari Testarossa. No doubt, the company has reaped tons incredible achievements throughout their history in terms of designing. But with the foundation of Automobili Pininfarina GmbH, the company is officially a new competitor in this automobile manufacturing market, hence the reveal of their very first work: Pininfarina Battista.
Just like the man Battista "Pinin" Farina who started the company we've known and loved, this new Pininfarina creation signifies the coming of Pininfarina's own brand of automobile. Interesting enough, this very first Pininfarina car does not run with the usual gasoline fuel, in fact, this is a hyper EV, which means it is 100% fueled by electricity. But before we go into the performance details, let's talk about the Battista's design first.
Exterior-wise, the Battista's design looks extremely smooth, clean, and elegant. The car uses carbon-fibre monocoque to keep the weight as low as possible, with the batteries setup in T shape. The whole electric system is in co-development with Rimac and it is informed to be quite heavy. As the result, the Battista has its four motors situated to each wheel for weight distribution balance.
Since this car features monstrous powertrain of 1,900 horsepower and 1,696 lb-ft of torques, surely Pininfarina will have to pay much attention to the aerodynamics. As the result, we can see lots of attentions to details aerodynamics throughout this car's exterior. Starting from the front, we can see a large opening above the front splitter to let the cooling air in. Even near the headlights, we can see small vents for air flow.
Coming to the sides, here we can see the side vents, which lead the air flows all the way to the rear and goes right through under the taillights. And at the rear, we can see an active rear wing which matches perfectly to the flat rear deck when it folds down. It also plays the role as air brake when it rises up vertically. Next, down below there is active rear diffuser which can lower down to keep the car low down to the rear. And since this is an EV, there is no exhaust pipe.
Now, getting inside the car and we shall see a highly futuristic and luxurious interior with all the leathers, trimmings, and lots of customization options. The steering wheel is small but thick, and behind it are the three digital screens. The center screen is a minimalist speed-o-meter, while the left screen provides a number of information including the driving mode, the battery charge level, and several performance adjustments. On the other hand, the right screen features some in-car settings like navigation, media, air-conditioning, etc…
So those are about exterior and interior design, but what about the performance then? Of course, at this point Pininfarina has not revealed all the information about that yet. But at the very least, we can expect some insane stuffs from this luxury hyper EV. As mentioned, the Battista can produce 1,900 horsepower and 1,696 lb-ft of torques, which are already absurd. Not only that, it is said to be capable of hitting 62mph in less than 2 seconds!
Overall, Pininfarina Battista already looks like masterpiece. It looks authentic, elegant, and not only that, it does have promising performance. And for those who haven't been informed, only 150 Battistas will be built in total and each one can cost between $2 million to $3 million.
So what do you think about Pininfarina Battista? Feel free to share with us and for now, thank you and stay tune for more news in the future!

Our Mission is Safety
The National Safety Council eliminates preventable deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy.
Have questions? Visit our FAQs or contact NSC.
Itasca, IL – The National Safety Council supports the successful passage of H.R. 5892, establishing an advisory committee to address opioid use disorder in the workplace. Over 30 organizations have signed on in support of this legislation, and we applaud House lawmakers that have introduced and passed over 25 new bills to address the opioid epidemic this month alone. As the Senate debates a number of legislative proposals to combat the opioid crisis, the National Safety Council urges lawmakers to keep in mind that millions of people go to work every day amidst this hidden workplace epidemic.
H.R. 5892 will provide expertise to help improve the safety of both workers and their families. As 75 percent of people with a substance use disorder are employed, the need for organizations to address addiction, treatment and recovery is rising. NSC surveys found that 70 percent of employers have been directly impacted by prescription drug misuse.
Future legislative proposals should include comprehensive life-saving actions such as requiring use of prescription drug monitoring programs, requiring prescriber education and safer-use guidelines for opioids, increasing access and funding for medication assisted treatment and naloxone, improving overdose data collection, and reducing stigma around addiction. The National Safety Council has made several calls for such measures – most recently in April at the Washington, D.C., opening of its Prescribed to Death memorial to the victims of the opioid crisis, as well as in our Prescription Nation report.
We hope the Senate considers and advances H.R. 5892 and other important opioid legislation, understanding that lives are at stake.
About the National Safety CouncilThe National Safety Council is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to eliminate preventable deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy.

Well, the topping was not so flapjacky, but still very tasty! From Good Food magazine Feb 2012...
I think we took it out of the tin too early as the pastry just dropped off at the slightest touch! Either that or my pastry was too short...
500g block dessert pastry (I made my own pastry - 250g plain flour, 125g butter, 2 dessert spoons icing sugar, bind with 1 egg yolk and a tbspn cold water. I did have to add extra water on top of that but very slowly to make sure not too much. Then wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes)
5 pears, peeled, cored and sliced (I used conference pears which were quite crisp, but didn't taste very peary in the tart. Perhaps need riper pears or a different variety)
25g golden caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
large pinch mixed spice
flaked almonds, to finish
pouring cream or custard to serve
Topping -
140g porridge oats
50g plain flour
50g ground almonds (if your pears are really ripe and juicy, it's a good idea to sprinkle an extra layer of ground almonds over the pastry before adding the pears)
100g golden caster sugar
140g cold butter, diced
3 tbsp golden syrup
1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roll out the pastry and use to line a 23cm tart tin (mine was a deep one), leaving a sight overhang. Line with greaseproof paper and baking beans, then bake for 20 mins. Remove the beans and paper, trim the pastry, then return to the oven for 10 mins more or until the pastry is biscuity brown.
2. Meanwhile, toss the pears in the sugar and spice, then set aside. To make the topping, tip the oats, flour and ground almonds into a large bowl with the sugar and a pinch of salt, then rub in the butter with your fingertips until you have a soft mixture. Stir in the golden syrup.
3. Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the pears over the base of the tart, then flatten the oaty pastry into a round and place it over the pears - push/spread it with your fingers so the pears are completely covered. Scatter with flaked almonds and an extra sprinkling of sugar, then bake for 30 mins.
