Shares of old-guard networking hardware giant Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) are trading up about 1% on Friday morning at $43.51 following an upbeat note from a team of analysts on the Street who expect the tech stock to outperform the broader market amid a surge in volatility.
CSCO reflects a 13.6% jump year-to-date (YTD) and a 28.1% incline over the most recent 12 months, outperforming the S&P 500's 1.1% dip and 12.6% return over the same respective periods. Investors have applauded the San Jose, California-based company's transition away from legacy hardware businesses to high-growth segments such as cybersecurity, the Internet of Things (IoT) and enterprise collaboration. The shift has garnered more subscription-based and recurring revenue streams for the tech titan as it wards off competition from newer cloud-based rivals such as Arista Networks Inc. (ANET).
On Friday, analysts at Goldman Sachs added Cisco to their conviction buy list, citing strong demand and tax reform benefits. Goldman's Rod Hall lifted his 12-month price target on shares to $54 from $51, reflecting a near 25% upside from Friday morning.
Gaining From Tax Overhaul, Improving End Markets
"As market volatility increases we also see Cisco as relatively defensive in our sector," wrote Hall in a note to clients on Friday. "Cisco's end markets remain healthy and improving."
Goldman is also upbeat on the GOP tax bill passed late last year, which slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and incentivized repatriation of overseas cash, freeing up billions for some of America's most powerful tech corporations, including Cisco.
"We expect Cisco to deliver significant returns to shareholders from the recently enacted tax laws. Indeed, the company has already announced a $25 billion increase to share repurchase authorization and hiked its dividend payout ratio to nearly 50 percent," wrote Hall.

The Value of Constructive Critique in Website Projects
In a web design project, there isn't just one step to be completed and then a website magically appears. Here at Digital Reach, we make custom-built quality websites and try to organize our projects with plenty of communication between us and the client. At each stage, there is an opportunity for feedback that presents itself in many ways, although critique is the most desired.
In the book Discussing Design, authors Adam Connor and Aaron Irizarry distinguish between the different types of feedback in three ways:
- Reactive feedback: "Ugh, that's gross!"
- Direction-based Feedback: "I would have made all the text two pixels larger across the board."
- Critique: "If the objective is to make the content of an article easy to read in a leisurely setting, then perhaps we ought to consider a larger font size that allows readers to sit further from the screen because they will otherwise have to lean in to read the words."
Reactive Feedback
Reactive feedback is normally the least constructive type of feedback. It doesn't offer any reasoning behind the reaction, only exactly what the user is thinking the moment they look at a project. Things like this normally happen because the message between the client and the designer wasn't properly communicated. For this reason, we create special questionnaires (which we continually tweak and optimize for the best output). On the other hand, positive reactive feedback (i.e., "Looks great!") although encouraging, isn't informative enough to help designers know where to go from there.
Direction-based feedback
Direction-based feedback is a step in the right direction, but is normally too specific (since the client is normally not a designer). When we're looking for feedback, it's best to get it in terms of feelings and general thoughts than any specific direction. Otherwise, the designer isn't able to do what they've trained in, since they're being controlled too closely. If the designer tries to reason why a specific suggested solution may not be the best route to go and is steamrolled, then they might feel that they aren't allowed to go against what a client brings up. Telling the designer to make very specific changes (make this section black, make all of the header text all caps) and not allowing them to provide well-supported advice against doing certain changes can cause the site not to get the intended look and feel it was originally going for.
Critique is the holy grail of design feedback. When we get this kind of feedback, we get a reason why something isn't working and a general direction to go in (maybe suggesting more color, or making body font slightly larger so their target demographic can read the site more easily). This is extra helpful because, while the client is explaining what doesn't work about the current design, they do it in general terms that make it so that the design isn't pigeonholed in one direction. Sometimes not allowing the designer to give input towards a good solution to the current issue can cause the project to go in the wrong direction.
No matter the route you take with your project, it's important to encourage open communication and expectations between client and designer to give you the best results possible.

Posted by: Nicholas Ramscar6 March 2013
Apologies if this is too downbeat, but there was something in the water last week. And it must have been bromocriptine, because the milk of human kindness was in vanishingly short supply.
Every other patient seemed to be on the verge of tears, and there was a sad inventiveness in the ways their misery had been brought about.
A single mother had had her windows broken after she'd asked a neighbor to stop smoking cannabis around her asthmatic children. Another mother's partner had described to their mutual friends how 'disgusting' her episiotomy scar was – a wound incurred whilst bringing his child into existence, as if that had any bearing on his treatment of her. Then there was the usual stream of child protection conferences, and an alleged assault or two, plus cyberbullying, and old-fashioned bullying, in fairly equal measure.
It's an interesting debate how much of this is the GP's job, and how much we can really do to help, but clearly a lot of unhappy people have exhausted their other options.
It's difficult to know what to suggest when presented with this kind of thing, when you have ten minutes to say something sensible before the next patient is due. One of the lessons of a medical career is that the human condition doesn't lack opportunities for suffering. The problems those patients brought to me are, on a global scale, fairly trivial. But these are people whose health and happiness are being destroyed, for no better reason than that somebody else felt like hurting them.
Driving home on Friday evening, it struck me how wonderful it would be if they all took a day off. If all the bullies and abusers stopped trashing people's homes and mocking their partners, and just did something else instead.
Perhaps they could stop texting hatred to each other, and just have a lie-in. Maybe one day they could read some Larkin, and realise that we are all vulnerable. That the people around them matter. That we should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is still time.
Dr Nick Ramscar is a GP in Bracknell, Berkshire

What can you say to a patient on the verge of tears?
How about.
'Here's £5, go and tell someone who cares'
So... what do you say??
You could offer a tissue, assure your patient that you understand what s/he's told you & feel concern, then, if you can't dispense any practical advice, spend the rest of your 8 minutes on trying to help your patient focus on what reserves & resources s/he has to help him/her survive the situation. We can't choose what happens to us but to some extent, we can choose how to react to it. It sometimes helps a person to be reminded of that.
With regards to the £5 comment above, here's hoping you don't ever need anyone to talk to in a crisis eh?
As a practice manager I have sat with patients to discuss what was initially disgruntlment with our reception/a doctor/nursing home/district nurse. It often turns into a chat, steered by the patient, about what has been going on in their lives - losing a business, loved one, worrying about children. It's rarely resolved, most people just need the outlet. I'm not a counsellor, but have sat down with my fair share of tearful patients. Clearly there is no time for this in a 10 or 15 minute consultation, I don't know the easy answer. I do agree with the comment above that "we can choose how to react to it". Sometimes reassurance that people can or are doing the right thing is all they need. Listen, reassure, and if you say you'll do something, make sure you'll do it. If you can't do anything, be honest and say so. And if you can't do it in 10 minutes, get them to come back when you have got time. I know you're all busy, but it means the world that someone cares - you might be the only one they can turn to.
Maggie Thatcher banned spine transplants in the 1980's Im afraid..............................
As a minimum, in 10 minutes, it should be possible to listen, be sympathetic, communicate a little warmth or empathy, make it clear you understand, and show concern... if nothing else. Pretty much what you'd hope any kind human being would do.
Clearly if these people are coming to you to discuss such issues (which are really about their psychology and state of mind, and perhaps they feel there is nobody else they can speak to like a friend or relative), perhaps offering to refer them to the local psychological or counselling services? Some people may not respond well to that, but it's entirely possible that some patients would welcome the opportunity to speak confidentially to someone who has the time and expertise to really help.
Am I missing the point here? It seems to me Dr Ramscar's question is entirely rhetorical!
You all seem tremendously literally minded in offering advice but I read this as a sad comment on modern society rather than plea for help!

That's my answer to this Cato ad, anyway:
And, FWIW, both CATO (here: http://healthcare.cato.org/) and the Heritage Foundation (here: http://fixhealthcarepolicy.com/) are excellent references for policy solutions, from a conservative perspective, that really could have a positive impact on health care "reform".
One of the things that drives me crazy is when liberals ignorantly blather on about how "conservatives don't have any solutions to these problems". Yeah, we do. And those two sites feature some of the best solutions.
Also, Heritage's header graphic neatly summarizes the differences in approaches between individual-empowering conservatives and government-growing liberals:

Facing Your Fear
I have no recollection of having a bad incident as a child. Though as I got older, the fear became worse. You'd think when I went through chemo treatment 17 years ago, I would have gotten used to them. When I must have a blood test done, I always mention to the nurse to remind me to breathe so I don't pass out.
I decided this past week that I was going to face this fear. No longer will I allow is to effect me this way. To do this, I am going to donate blood.
After all, I received 2 transfusions during treatment and seems only right to start giving some back. It's been long overdue!
Well, today I found out that I can't donate.
I am really bummed!
Since I had Hodgkin's Disease, I am not eligible to donate.
I don't let the word can't be used in our house, so to be told this is a bit unsettling. I will come up with a way to help out the Red Cross for what they did for me years ago, as well as, overcome this needle things I've got going on.
What fear have you overcome?

Needles creep me out as well, so I do understand. I was able to overcome the unreasonable fear when I got ill, and we had a new baby in the family that was a premie, I was not allowed near her untill I had all kind of shots. It helped me when I thought about how silly it would be if I where not to do it because of my fear. You have been thru alot of procedures already I am sure, so try to put a little "poke" into your mind next time around, and think of how quickly it will be over. I also used some pinching of my ear, with the other hand, it did help. Now as far as the Red Cross goes, call them and tell them you want to help, and are unable to donate, they have a great need for help all of the time, they will put you to work. Your desire to "pay forward" or "pay back" shows what kind of person you are, good for you! Good Luck, and Happy New Year

US destroyer makes Sea of Japan FONOP in challenge to Russia
US Navy destroyer USS McCampbell carried out a freedom of operation in the Sea of Japan on December 5, in a move that is seen as a challenge to Russian territorial claims in the region.
McCampbell sailed near the Peter the Great Bay which is claimed by Russia but not recognized as Russian territory by the US.
Russian claims to the area exceed the 12 miles off the country's coastline which is guaranteed by international laws, according to US officials.
The disputed region is close to the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet homebase in Vladivostok.
According to a CNN report, this is the first US Navy FONOP in the region since 1987.
"McCampbell sailed in the vicinity of Peter the Great Bay to challenge Russia's excessive maritime claims and uphold the rights, freedoms, and lawful uses of the sea enjoyed by the United States and other Nations," Lt. j.g. Rachel McMarr, a US Pacific Fleet spokesperson, said.
The forward-deployed destroyer carried out the FONOP at a time of heightened tensions between the US and Russia over US claims of Russian Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty violations. The FONOP also follows a Kerch Strait incident from last month in which Russia fired upon and seized three Ukrainian Navy ships.

How to describe a problem when contacting Divio support¶
In order to help Divio support help you, it's important to provide us with the information we need, and to be sure it's something that we can actually help you with.
This page contains a report template and an example of a good report.
What information we need¶
The dashboard URL of each project - for each project you are referring to, we need its dashboard URL, in the form
The precise steps to replicate your issue - we may need to be able to replicate your issue - what action(s) must we take to see it for ourselves? If there are multiple steps involved, please list them.
What you expect to happen - we need to understand what you expected to happen. If you expected some output or result, describe it, bearing in mind that we may not be familiar with your project.
What actually does happen - sescribe the unexpected output or result. Include logs, error messages from the server and browser and so on.
Tell us what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far - please check:
- Have you set up the project locally?
- Does the issue present itself there?
- If appropriate, test with your local project in live configuration.
- Are you using logging to help understand the behaviour of the program?
Include any relevant information from troubleshooting in your report.
You may find it helpful to copy and paste this template into your support requests:
Dashboard URLs
Steps to replicate
- step 1
- step 2
- step 3
What we expected to happen
What actually happened
Troubleshooting information
The issue [does/does not] occur when running the project locally in live configuration.
Additional information
[include error messages, links to logs, etc]
Example report¶
A good report might look something like this:
We are having problems with a form in our DynaCorp Global project https://control.divio.com/control/3097/edit/50704/. To see this:
- log in at https://example.com/clientarea with the username "diviosupport" and password "t3mpp4sswd" that we have prepared for you
- in the "Manage your holding" page at https://example.com/clientarea/holdings/edit, change the text in the "Name" field in the form that appears, and press "Update"
At this point you should be redirected to https://example.com/clientarea/holdings, with the data you entered.
Instead what actually happens is that sometimes the expected data will appear, but approximately 50% of the time, it will not be.
There are no errors in the logs or browser. The error occurs only on the Live server, not on Test or locally (even when running in Live configuration).
As well as giving us enough information to continue investigating further, the inclusion of information about where it has been tested provides some valuable clues as to the nature of the problem.
Ensure that we have access to your project¶
If your project uses the Divio Git server, we'll be able to set it up locally for testing if we need to. However if you use a private remote Git repository, this won't be possible unless you can provide us with access to the repository. Usually we will provide you with a public key to add to the respository.
What we can and can't help with¶
Our technical support is limited in scope to our platform and infrastructure:
- general questions about use of the platform and its tools
- use and configuration of the local development environment
- best practices for project configuration on Divio Cloud
- best practices for project migration to Divio Cloud
- deployment issues related to our infrastructure
We are unable to provide support for:
- general questions about development
- debugging of user applications or third-party software
- users' local hardware/software set-up
Please note that we are able to proide more in-depth technical support for Business-class projects than those on Economy plans. For more information please see our full support policy.

Poema del Mar – a fantastic, aquatic wonderland!
IN the main port of Las Palmas, in Gran Canaria, there is an impressive building, which is very modern in design. The outside comes alive at night and is beautifully lit, which entices you to find out what is inside.
Opened in winter 2017, it's an amazing aquarium, full of ocean life from all over our planet. It is easily accessible from Tenerife by ferry, and from the southern resorts of Gran Canaria, by a bus transfer, which can be bought as a twin ticket.
It's also great if you arrive on a cruise ship, as it's only a few minutes' walk from the dock. We weren't quite sure what to expect inside, but, after visiting Siam Park and Loro Parque, and knowing this was the same group, we had pretty-high expectations.
It's easy to enter. There is a ticket office, and then you are straight in via a small cave. You have to cross a glass walkway, and you can see the fish beneath your feet. This was great for kids (and some apprehensive adults), who felt as though they were walking on water. You start in a big, open-plan jungle area, full of beautiful plants, tanks buzzing with life, and rocks, trees and bridges, to feel as though you really are in the jungle.
Here you can find the crocodiles, fish from the Amazon, electric eels and a fantastic tree full of chameleons (if you can spot them with their camouflage). There are digital signs dotted all around, telling you interesting information about what you are looking at.
On the way to the next area, don't miss the Axolotl, or Mexican walking fish, which are critically endangered. Are they fish, or are they lizards? I'll let you make up your own mind.
Next, you will head to the beach area, where there are some of the most amazing creatures here. The Pig-nose turtles are incredible, and I've never seen anything like them.
Finding Nemo… carry on along, and there is a great tank full of tropical fish where you can spot him and his friends, with small tunnels that can be crawled through, so you feel as though you are in the sea with them.
Ahead of you there is a huge tube, but we will come back to that later. In this area, you can also stop for a coffee or a bite to eat, with the most amazing view of the underwater world.
Carrying on along, you discover the deep-sea zone, and you find yourself in a dome in the big tank. This is where you will see the bigger species; several types of sharks, huge rays and turtles, with big schools of fish, everywhere you look.
Further along, there are a few more portholes into the big tank, and you will discover some of the deep-sea creatures. Then, from darkness, you walk around the corner and your jaw will drop – a massive, curved-glass wall into the biggest tank I have ever seen, which is 36 metres long, and nearly eight metres high.
It's so impressive, and it makes you feel really small. You could spend all day in here, watching the sharks swimming straight at you, seeing the groupers glide past, and watching the rays interacting with each other.
Heading out from here, you find the seahorses, starfish and the jellyfish in a beautifully-lit-up display, which is mesmerising. As you carry on round, you end up back where the huge tube was full of fish, moray eels and rays. The walkway spirals down around the tube, and there are huge bean bags at the bottom which you can sit on, and watch everything around you.
You head through the freshwater tunnel and find yourself back in the jungle area, and find the "danger area" with poisonous frogs, millipedes and scorpions – every little boy's dream! If you wish, you can go around the whole aquarium again.
There are so many exhibitions to see, that going around a couple of times is recommended. The Nemo snack bar and Nestor restaurant are both great, with everything from a quick sandwich, to a full à-la-carte menu.
This is one of the most modern aquariums in the world. As a scuba diver, I love the underwater world, and I have never been anywhere as impressive. It's also nice to see that they are doing work in here with endangered species, to help reintroduce them into the wild.
Open every day from 9am-6pm, this is a must for the family visiting Gran Canaria, or on a day trip from Tenerife (you can buy a twin ticket with Loro Parque). Allow yourself a good few hours for your visit, to enjoy the whole experience, fully.

It turns out that famous rock stars have similar neighbour complaints when undergoing renovations in their personal houses. The difference is they can add a dimension to the dispute that is befitting a rock star.
As the BBC reports Robbie Williams the best-selling solo artist in the United Kingdom lives next to Jimmy Page, the founder and lead guitarist for the group Led Zeppelin. All was relatively quiet until Robbie Williams after five years of permit applications and planning, obtained approval with conditions to build a swimming pool in the ground floor of his house in London's Holland Park.
Jimmy Page has lived next door for 46 years in a heritage Grade 1 listed mansion and was afraid that the excavating for the pool next door would seriously impact his foundation.
Normal people might go back and engage their municipalities, or lawyer up. But not these two rock stars. Robbie Williams turned up the volume of Black Sabbath music projecting to Mr. Page's property, adding in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple songs, which "he knows upsets" Mr. Page.
Robbie Williams has also been dressing up as Mr. Page's fellow band member Robert Plant, complete with a long hair wig and a rotund stuffing on his midriff.
All of this was documented in a letter to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. No surprise that a spokesman for Robbie Williams called the complaint "a complete fabrication and nonsense."
You can take a look at the YouTube video below from last summer where Jimmy Page described the situation, and the restoration he has done on Tower House.

Painting is one of the best ways I have found to express myself,
And explore the world within & around us.
Influenced by observations and thoughts, as well as words of great men,
I create inspirational paintings... Images that will enrich my life
by provoking questions & self reflection.
Paintings that will make my soul grow...
Images that will hopefully touch your heart
as much as they touch mine.
I create my paintings
using simple deserted landscapes
combined with dramatic skies, to set a tone or mood
as to deliver a symbolic message...
A message that embodies and symbolizes
a particular human value, a feeling or Spirit;
To enhance, illuminate and to better understand...
What is Best or Worse in Them.

There are three rate hikes this year that you should be aware of.
The Fed Fund Rate is the interest rate that banks borrow money off of, from each other or from the federal reserve. The easier and cheaper it is for banks to get money, the easier it is for us as consumers it is to get money from banks. Thanks to the many signs of economic improvement that we've been seeing recently, people are anticipating a rate hike as early as next week. This will cause credit card and home equity interest rates to rise. Mortgage interest rates, however, are more impacted by bond purchases instead.
Essentially, during a healthy economy, like we're witnessing now, investors put their funds into stocks rather than bonds which bring interest rates up. But when there are uncertainties about the economy, people will start buying into bonds because they are safer, which brings interest rates down. Unless the economy goes south, you can expect the feds to continue raising rates.
In addition to next week's interest rate hike, the second and third rate hikes are expected to involve increasing interest rates as well. While the stock market is in constant flux, the trend is still moving upwards which means our interest rates will be rising for a while now too. Thankfully our current 4% range is still relatively low.
If you have any questions regarding rates, mortgages, or the housing market in general, please feel free to reach out to our team at your convenience. We are happy to assist you with all of your real estate related needs.

Remember Atoms For Peace from a couple of weeks ago? That collaboration between Thom Yorke, Flea, Nigel Godrich and a few others?
Well, they have the full album up for streaming today. The album was prepped for release on 25 February, but Thom Yorke confirmed on Reddit that it had already leaked and I guess bolted stable doors and all that.
I'm not so enthused about the thought of Jack White possibly being involved in a new Radiohead album, but maybe they're just using his space. For more information, and perhaps clarification, have a look at ultimate-guitar.com, who have summarized the Reddit chat.

To ask the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport the discussions he has had with either Iarnród Éireann or Dublin Bus in relation to the reduction in service to north County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
REPLY: As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.
The operation of public transport services by Iarnród Éireann and Dublin Bus is a matter for the respective companies, with oversight by the National Transport Authority (NTA).
In relation to bus services, the NTA recently advised that four more bus routes switched from Dublin Bus to Go-Ahead Ireland from Sunday, December 2nd, in a move that will provide improved services, not just on these routes, but in other parts of the network too.

Recently two written questions were put forward to the Minister for Rural and Community Development by Clare Daly.
* To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development his plans to introduce funding schemes in the Fingal area to address the rapid expansion of population and lack of facilities to accommodate the large scale growth of the adolescent population in recent years in view of the fact that many are turning to anti-social behavior due to lack of facilities.
* To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development his views on the growing issue of anti-social behavior displayed in adolescents residing within newly established areas due to a lack of facilities offered to them especially in areas such as Lusk and Fingal.
In short both are asking how does the minister plan to accommodate for and help the expanding young population in Fingal.
The response returned was less than satisfactory. It lacked any genuine proof of changes that were being or planning to be made. It did not recognize any forms of facilities that could be used to prevent said behavior (for example youth groups or sports clubs). It failed to mention any specifics related to adolescents only mentioning anti-social behavior. What it managed to mention felt drenched in avoidance and a lack of understanding of the growing problem which is not the fault of the adolescents but in fact a fault of the system.

To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the initiatives taken or proposed by him to tackle rural crime.
As the Deputy will be aware, this Government is committed to ensuring a strong and visible police presence throughout the country in order to maintain and strengthen community engagement, provide reassurance to citizens and to deter crime.
As part of the Garda approach special targeted patrols are carried out with the assistance of Garda National Support Services against criminals who are committing crime inter-regionally. This includes a focus on the use of motorways by criminal gangs so as to disrupt and arrest those involved.

Icons – Their History and Use in Religion
The term icon comes from the Greek word eikōn which means "image." Religious icons are works of art based on people with Biblical and historical significance. Most often the subjects of icons are the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, or Christ, or saints, or angels. Some include more than one in the same icon.
Some of the formats used in icons are paintings on cloth, wood, or paper, cast in metal, carved in stone or wood, or mosaics or frescoes, among others. These works of art are usually flat or nearly so.
According to Eastern Orthodox tradition, icons have been being produced since the earliest days of Christianity, and have continued throughout history until now. Others trace them back only to the 3rd century. Either way, there is a difference between the earliest icons and later ones. This may be partly due to the destruction during the Byzantine Iconoclasm in the middle 8th century, which appears to be the primary dividing point. Icons created after that are more similar to each other in subject and style.
Some believe that the first painter of icons was the Apostle Luke (also known as Luke the Evangelist), who was also the author of the Gospel of Luke and The Acts of the Apostles. It is said that he was the first to paint an image of Mary and the child Jesus. Some say that Pilate created an image of Jesus during his lifetime, though this image if it existed, was said to be lost in Constantinople during the Crusades.
It was the Fourth Century before icons are definitively described in historical writings. Aelius Lampridius, in his writing Life of Alexander Severus (xxix), wrote about Christian images used as icons. He spoke critically of them, comparing the veneration of the people for these images to that of the pagan Gentiles. However, there were still some Christian churches in the 4th century who were opposed to the use of icons; the conclusion at the Synod of Elvira (around 305AD) was that "pictures are not to be placed in churches so that they do not become objects of worship and adoration."
However, by the mid-fifth century, it was a common practice to include images of saints and Christ in churches, shrines, and even some homes. During that time, only religious images and those of the nobility were allowed, so while all images were called icons, there were so few non-religious ones that it was unnecessary to specify the religious from the secular.
In the 8th century, the Byzantine Imperial authority challenged the use of icons. Known as the Iconoclastic Period, or the Iconoclasm, this began around 726AD when Emperor Leo III banned images. His son, Constantine V, upheld his father's ban in 754. The Empress Regent Irene reversed the decision; however, Leo V reinstated the ban, which was finally overturned for good by Empress Regent Theodora in 843AD.
Many different denominations use icons in their worship. Some of these include the aforementioned Eastern Orthodox, along with Roman Catholic, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran.
There are several purposes for icons, as they relate to the church and worship. In the church, icons enhance the beauty of the decor. In some ancient writings, decoration with icons is mentioned. Because the house of worship is meant for God and prayer, beauty that points to holiness is the proper decoration. It is notable that God commanded Moses to include images of cherubim in the tabernacle that he was to build for the Israelites to use for worship, both as images woven into the tapestry, and as actual statues on the top of the Ark of the Covenant.
While they are most often seen in churches, many Christians have icon corners or shelves in their home, as well. Private worship is just as important as community worship.
Icons are used to remind adherents of faith, and some offer instruction in Christian matters. The church fathers emphasized this, because in the early days, there were many who were not able to read. The icons taught – through images – the incarnation of Christ, His miracles, His crucifixion and resurrection, how He related to and associated with people, and more. The old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" is apropos here, because icons can show concisely something that would take much time to relate verbally or with text. As such, they are also reminders of important facets of the faith, pointing believers back to holiness and Christ.
As well as reminding of faith, icons also teach history. In the earliest church, there was no New Testament yet; it was still being written. Even the Scriptures they had were limited, and literacy was not as widespread. Icons were used to tell the stories of what was happening before the information was put down into the texts we have today.
Icons offer a symbol of a higher standard, and a higher level of feeling and thought. The character and doings of the people depicted on icons are a reminder of the superior standard to which one should aspire. In this aspect, icons become a pattern of living. They encourage believers to follow the virtues personified therein.
They also encourage unity among the church, regardless of space and time. The early Christians are still a part of the living Body of Christ, although they are no longer among us physically. Icons are a reminder of these faithful.
Icons help with the process of sanctification and transformation, worship and veneration. Icons used in liturgy are meant to lead the soul from the finite world to the infinite spiritual realm. Many times, entrance into a church is followed immediately by lighting a candle and placing it near an icon stand, bowing with the sign of the cross and kissing the icon, followed by a brief prayer. This is known as veneration or "honorable reverence" (which is differentiated from "worship" which is given only to God). Many believe that the honor given to an icon in this way is being actually given, or transferred, to the person whom the icon represents, and because humans are made in the image of God, any honor given thusly is actually given to God. The idea is to look through the icon to the God behind it – as a window.
In worship, icons point to God and aid in focusing prayers and worship on Him, helping to shut out the distractions of the world. They give a glimpse into the future with Christ.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on March 13 that South Korea and Malaysia signed three MOUs during South Korean President Moon Jae-in's state visit to Malaysia.
The three MOUs include one between Korea Trade Insurance Corp. and PETRONAS. The MOU is for South Korean companies to take a greater part in the latter's oil and gas projects in Malaysia. Also, both organizations are going to conclude an agreement within this year so that conditional financing can be provided with regard to the use of South Korean equipment in an energy project of PETRONAS.
The two countries also signed a research collaboration agreement regarding virtual power plant management in Malaysia. Signed by a South Korean consortium and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), a national power company of Malaysia, the agreement is to conduct a joint virtual power plant demonstration as a part of Malaysia's project for energy storage and solar power generation system installation and virtual power generation platform construction in five regions. The total cost of the project is US$7 million and South Korea is going to bear US$5 million publicly and privately.

text: Thank you for bringing in your special photos and items as part of the Israel 70 project. On Wednesday, we interviewed each other to find out about the special people in our photographs and to find out a little bit about the special items that we had brought in. Then we recreated the item which represents our faith or belief with clay. We were very excited to try out a new resource on the Chromebooks called Nessy Fingers with our Occupational Theraist, Claire. Nessy Fingers helps us to learn where to place our fingers on the keyboard and develop our typing skills. In Art, we discussed healthy foods and then decorated chef's hats with images and representations of healthy food using a range of different resources. In Science, we continued to look at different materials. Some pupils worked on choosing their preferred material or rejecting materials that they didn't like. Other pupils identified the material that an object was made from and then practised discussing some of the material's properties. Seorah class will be going swimming on Monday 18th June, remember your swimming gear!

limitations set by light, production of plants is often reduced or prevented by lack of sufficient water or, in some circumstances, essential nutrients. Generally, plants are not limited by their grazers.
To understand why, in general, terrestrial grazers do not keep their food plants at small abundances therefore requires understanding of what reduces or controls the activities of the grazers. Much discussion of this, as a large-scale, worldwide phenomenon, considers three potential controls. One of these is competition among the grazers. This seems quite unlikely, given that the original phenomenon being explained is the prepondence of plant foods, not their small amounts which would lead to shortages of food. Competition will only occur among herbivorous species when more than one species of grazer requires the same plant foods and the food resources are in short supply. Competition then sets in among the grazers as they try to gain sufficient resources to breed (adults), grow (juveniles), or simply to maintain their tissues (all sizes).
Alternatively, abundances or effectiveness of herbivores may be controlled by inclement weather. There is evidence for this for many populations of insects, which do not reach their potential carrying capacity (the size of a population, given a certain availability of resources of food and shelter) because mortality due to bad weather keeps reducing the numbers. Such cases are, however, not considered to be the usual situation. Many types of grazers can deal with bad weather by alterations of activity (e.g., hibernation or estivation) or of reproduction (e.g., by producing offspring during the periods of favorable weather).
The third general mechanism is for populations of grazers to be controlled by their predators (plus pathogens and parasites). Under this proposition, large numbers of herbivores cannot be maintained, even where there is appropriate weather and an abundance of food, because their numbers are culled by their natural enemies.
This led long ago to the conclusion that primary producers - the plants - are largely regulated by availability of and resulting competition for limited resources. Presumably bad weather is also important because many species of plants will not grow outside a specific range of temperature, light intensity, and humidity. Similarly, predators are often limited by availability of their herbivorous prey - suffering from competition when populations of prey are at small abundances. Both are examples of 'bottom-up' control. Populations of plants and predators are generally supposed to be regulated by their resources.
In contrast, terrestrial grazing species are thought to be primarily limited by their consumers, which is an example of 'top-down' control.
The extent to which such a generality is correct can only be ascertained by examining a large number of experimental studies of the process controlling populations of herbivores, which is beyond the scope of this overview. Nevertheless, it is clear that, in general, plants on land are abundant despite numerous varieties of grazers.
It is evident that when grazers are released from their predators, they can completely destroy their food plants. Two sorts of examples demonstrate this. Accidental introductions of alien herbivorous species into a new biogeographical region are often followed by outbreaks of the herbivores in extremely large densities, voraciously consuming the plants they use as food. Quite often, the cause of an outbreak is that the natural enemies (predators, pathogens, parasites) of the introduced pest are not introduced with it. The herbivorous species is therefore not held in check and its numbers become excessive.
The other scenario is where human intervention (or management) is used to reduce numbers of insects (or other predators). Spraying forests or farms to remove nuisance herbivores (e.g., larval insects) sometimes also kills other insects which are predatory. As a result, populations of different herbivores that are normally killed by these predators expand and become a new nuisance because they consume trees or agricultural produce. In both cases, the grazers, by being released from their enemies, seriously reduce their food plants.
There are many exceptions to a general principle that grazers do not control their food plants. A well-known example is the destruction of plants caused by plague locusts, which break out in massive populations and greatly reduce the amounts of plants in areas where they feed.
The most notable exception is, however, the case of grazing by planktonic animals (see below). In the plankton, grazing generally reduces populations of plants to very small abundances. Given that about 70% of the Earth's surface is ocean, the pattern of populations of plants being controlled by grazing is, in fact, more widespread than that described above for terrestrial habitats.

- NUT midline carcinoma
- listen (… MID-line KAR-sih-NOH-muh)
- A rare type of cancer that forms in the respiratory tract and other places along the middle of the body, from the head to the abdomen. This includes the thymus, the area between the lungs, and the pancreas, liver, and bladder. NUT midline carcinoma is caused when a piece of chromosome 15 containing the NUT gene breaks off and attaches to another chromosome. It is usually aggressive (fast-growing) and cannot be cured. NUT midline carcinoma usually occurs in children and young adults. Also called NMC.

University of Sussex Campus
All academic sessions will take place in the Jubilee and Fulton buildings of Sussex's Falmer campus. Nestled into a valley of the South Downs national park, this radically modern campus, designed by architect Basil Spence, was the first and greenest of the new universities of the 1960s. Marxism, leather jackets and flares were once mandatory. It is said that if you squint you can still see Jimi Hendrix, Jacqueline Rose and Homi Bhabha. It is less than ten minutes by train from central Brighton. For further details click on Travel above, and for a map of campus click here
The Attenborough Centre
The Thursday plenary and drinks reception will take place in the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (ACCA), Sussex's renowned interdisciplinary arts hub connecting the University with Brighton & Hove and wider national and international arts communities. Originally opened in 1969, this Basil Spence-designed building was fully renovated in 2016 and renamed in tribute to the University's former Chancellor Lord Richard Attenborough (yes, the one who made Ghandi) and his family.
The Metropole Hotel, Brighton

Our Friday night banquet will take place in the Regency suite of the Hilton Metropole Hotel on Brighton's seafront. Opened in 1890 and designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse, by the time of Eliot's allusion in his great poem, the south coast's largest hotel had earned a louche reputation for questionable sexual assignations.

I support Occupy Wall Street. I'm also hip to the fact that Wall Street occupies both sides of Congress and, let's be honest, the war chests of everyone (everyone) (update: my bad, not EVERYONE) running for President.
I was talking with a friend today about the differences and similarities between Occupy and the Tea Party. Both are mad at Wall Street and Washington, but for some reason, neither of them publicly go after both with equal vigor. The Tea Party centralizes its energy for saving the middle class on the problems in Washington; Occupy uses its middle-class-saving-indignation on, well, occupying Wall Street.
Both movements say they want to save the middle class. Both were born of the middle class. Both have fringes motivated by things that have nothing whatsoever to do with saving the middle class. Corporate media, beholden as it is to the fortunes of Wall Street and the talking points of political candidates, would do well to hold up the narratives that both groups are crazy, that one is racist and fascist and the other is socialist and lazy. It's in the best interests of the media conglomerates, of CEOs, and of the entrenched political culture that these groups continue to define themselves in opposition to each other. The Tea Party would do well to occupy Wall Street. Occupy Wall Street would do well to Occupy The Capital.
Obviously, members of each group have political goals that don't easily mesh. But the larger narratives sound like all the economic and political complaints you've ever heard from everyone you've ever known: the government is broken, corporations are killing us, special interests (that nexus of corporate and political incest) run the country. The Tea Party and Occupy agree on that much. If "that much" is enough to start an even larger conversation about the futility of our political parties and the false options occupying our political system, Wall St and Pennsylvania Ave will finally have Main Street to answer to. Who says it can't happen? Ideologues and everyone invested in maintaining the status quo.
2012 has to be different. America has to be different. I refuse to live as an adult in a political and economic system that infantilizes every important issue to the point of absurd farce. I refuse to leave that kind of social chaos to my children. We've been an adolescent nation for so long. It's time to grow up, get serious, and put these labels away. We all know who the really bullies in the school yard are, and together, we are bigger, stronger, and smarter than they have ever dared to think.

How are Federal Loan Modification efforts going so far?
- While 4 million people could be helped, only 825,000 have been accepted into the program so far.
- Only 66,000 (7%) homeowners in the program have moved into permanent loan modifications.
- On average, homeowners save about $500 per month when their payments are reduced to a maximum of 31% of their income.
- Of the homeowners aided by program to date, 52% needed assistance because they lost income; 11% claimed too much non-mortgage debt; and 6% were unemployed.
- About 50,000 (6%) have been dropped from the program because they did not qualify, provide required documentation, or make all of their payments.
- 25% of participating homeowners have failed to make all of their payments while some have made none at all.
The statistics provided are interesting food for thought. Why aren't more people applying? Why aren't more accepted? Why aren't more moving to permanent status? Why are so many defaulting?
There is plenty of fault to go around.
Banks don't really want to modify loans; when they do, they seldom modify the principle. The modifications are doomed to fail for many people, especially if they are underwater and people are still paying big notes on homes that have lost their value.
The fact that some people aren't paying their loans indicates that the modification wasn't enough for them, their finances got worse after the modification – i.e., they lost their job, or the home they tried to stay is was too expensive for them. Perhaps the program guidelines need to be changed or counseling needs to weed out those likely to fail and help them find new housing.

(This may get a tad technical.) There are things we no longer refer to and presume are settled once and for all, and which cast their spell over everything else we think, say and do. The small collection of first principles I referred to in an earlier post are among these, but they are few and shared by virtually all our ancestors. However, for the past two hundred years or so, there is a brand new tacit assumption, and one shared only by the recently 'enlightened'; and this one is wrong. Still, once it grew powerful in its hidden corner (like the wizard of Oz behind his curtain), it became imperious and is flustered and cranky when forced into the light. It is the common assumption today that we live on the favored cusp of history. We quietly presume we have climbed up sufficiently high on the mountain of time to look back accurately, and damningly, upon the faltering past that brought us here. We are card-carrying historicists, although we tend to keep the card deep in our pockets. History, we silently decree, determines all and despite our current problems, we deem ourselves so blessed by science and technology that we can look down at the past behind us. We sigh gratefully that we are finally in a position to slough off old errors and behold the slow unveiling of final truth through the ministrations of science.
Now this conviction presumes something few of us would dare admit, but which follows hard on the heels of defining human beings as 'children of their age'. Some scientists, and quite a few philosophers, have already bought into this. It is the new, avant-garde 'teaching' that human nature changes. Obviously a corollary of philosophical spin-offs from evolutionary theory (though the link is scientifically tenuous), we presume that something deep and constitutive, and which has come to us uniquely through historical change, makes us qualitatively different from most of our forebears. And those forebears of the pre-modern West–and all of the non-Western–are made to look almost like a breed of subhuman primates because they were deprived of modern triumphs in explaining and controlling the world. Biologists will tell us, it is true, that appreciable evolutionary change requires not centuries or millennia, but millions of years. But not to worry–they are now applying principles of natural selection to culture and thought and, yes, even to recorded history. The stratagems they devise to escape the ever-present boogie man of self-referentiality (that is, their attempts to dodge the ricochet effect of their relativizing declarations on the validity of those very declarations) are often creative and amusing, but hardly convincing. But let's remind ourselves of some facts.
In the deep recesses of our body's 30 some trillion cells, the chromosomes still number 46, as they have for at least as far back as we are able to date homo sapiens sapiens, that is, hundreds of thousands of years ago (I suspect we go back long before that, but I won't interject my amateur intuitions here). When they first deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphics, expecting to find arcane lore of some 'totally other' strain of human experience in that very ancient culture, they were surprised to read about sports, grocery stores, doctor visits and other human commonplaces. And the fabled 'primitive' cave-man has long been debunked as one prehistoric cave after another is uncovered with walls of mysterious artwork of his design.
My point is that our nature has not changed at all, and despite our current Frankenstein-like meddling with genes and clones, there is no reasonable projection of such change for the foreseeable future. Nature trumps history. All of our emotions and basic thoughts can be adequately expressed in any of the 6,000 plus languages still spoken on Earth. Although translation is often difficult and approximate, we are able to escort obvious meaning even from ancient and exotic tongues right into our own contemporary languages, as we listen through the unaccustomed phonemes to a common fund of human life and significance. The classics of the past–and the oceans of past experience, wisdom and beauty–are available to us, for we share the nature of those who produced them, and what we have in common with them far out-values the differences we possess in speed and power. Most of the frantic speed of our cars and planes, and muscle power of our computers, still serve human communion and communication. I may have more processing power in my smart phone than was in the rocket that took men to the moon in 1969; I still use the little power pack mostly to say 'hi' to a friend, or to order a pizza.
I, for one, would like to learn the secret of earlier centuries, which did not, like our recent and so celebrated 20th, slaughter over 100 million people in wars, gulags, concentration camps and collectivist follies, or fill oceans with more plastic sacks and bottles than there are stars in the sky. That century got human nature wrong, and thus nature itself bears the wounds. By all means let science continue to grow (subdued applause here), and let us use the technology it provides (like this blog). But be adventurous, and learn about your human nature's other possibilities–they are still there. Read Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Virgil, Augustine, Aquinas, Dante; take a look at an Upanishad, or the Analects of Confucius. Learn a classical language, with its far smaller vocabulary and far richer grammar, and you will be amazed at what marvels language can perform in the nature you possess. And make and listen to music rooted in more than the shifting topsoil of pop. Otherwise, the epidemic of Alzheimer's will continue to spread to our collective psyche, and we will know nothing of anything that is not shiny and new. Cicero said somewhere that the worse captivity of all is to be a child of one's time.

Moxibustion is a type of external heat therapy also called 'moxa' for short. It is beneficial in certain cases of the common cold, digestive complaints, menstrual conditions and fertility treatments. Moxibustion is also well known for its ability to stimulate a breech baby to turn. According to various studies its success rate is 69-85%!
The material used to apply the heat is a funny sounding herb call Mugwort. This herb generates a heat sensation when rolled, compressed and burnt. It is then used to warm specific areas of the body or acupuncture points.
Moxa has a history of use throughout Asia for over 2,000 years and is usually applied along with acupuncture. The patient experience is a pleasant heating sensation that penetrates deep into the skin.
Two mechanisms generate the benefits of moxibustion. First, it creates a therapeutic level of heat that helps increase blood circulation and promotes the ability of the body to heal itself.
Second, it enhances activity of our bodies defense mechanism in response to the local inflammation. It does this by producing immunological responses, including increased lymphocyte numbers. This aids in the restoration of immune functions.

Depending on the person, we use moxa for problems discussed above. Jon will work with you to develop a personalized holistic treatment plan, tailored to your condition and desired outcome.
