Most Pennsylvania hospitals have neonatal intensive care units that provide specialized care to newborn infants. There are typically several nurses working in a NICU at once, working as a team to provide care and treatment for a hospital's youngest patients. Several incidents in a hospital in another state have resulted in a nurse having his medical license suspended. He is also facing criminal charges.
Licensing board suspends doctor in another state
Hundreds of Pennsylvania doctors write prescriptions every day. Prescription medication is used to treat a wide variety of ailments, including chronic pain conditions, infections or acute symptoms resulting from injury or sudden illness. If a licensing board believes it has evidence to suggest that a doctor is misusing his or her prescription-writing privileges, it could lead to a medical license suspension.
Disciplinary action for a nurse following a DUI
Facing DUI charges comes with the potential consequences of jail time, license suspension or revocation, rehab, public service and fines.

In the structural domain we decide how to represent the structure of the system. In an empirical 'black box' model, we are not concerned with what happens inside
the system and how. The internal structure in this case is not analyzed, and we describe the system by finding an appropriate function that translates inputs into outputs. This is usually done by statistical methods. In contrast, in a process-based model we describe the structure of a system, which is best done by a diagram, representing the major components of the system: variables, forcing functions, control functions. When deciding about the model structure, it is important to match the structural complexity with the goals of the study, the available data, and the appropriate temporal and spatial resolution. For example, if we are modeling fish populations (Figure 3), that grow over several years, there would be little use in considering the dynamics of bacterial processes, that have a specific rate of hours. In this case we may probably think of the bacterial population as already at equilibrium, quickly adapting to any changes occurring in the system in the 'fish time', which is weeks or months. We may still want to consider the bacterial biomass for mass balance purposes, but in this case it makes perfect sense to aggregate it with the detrital biomass.
However, certain fast processes may have a detrimental effect upon the system. For example, it is well known that fish kills may occur during nighttime in the early morning hours, when there is still no photosynthesis, but only respiration. As a result oxygen content may fall below certain threshold levels. The oxygen concentrations in this case vary from hour to hour, whereas fish
biomass changes much slower. We might want to consider oxygen as part of the system to make sure that we do not miss such critical regimes.
In a lake ecosystem model in Figure 4 in addition to trophic relations certain spatial properties are depicted. The diagram shows how the model structure is presented in the three vertical segments that describe the pelagic part of the lake. In the upper part three phytoplankton groups (A1, A2, A3) are present; they are food for zooplankton (Z) and fish (R). Various forms of nutrients (organic and inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus) are supplied by decomposition of detritus. In the bottom segments, there is no biota, only nutrients and detritus.
When making all these decisions about the model structure, its spatial and temporal resolution, we should always keep in mind that the goal of any modeling exercise is to simplify the system, to seek the most important drivers and processes. If the model becomes too complex to grasp and to study, its utility drops. There is little advantage in substituting one complex system that we do not understand by another complex system that also we do not understand. Even if the model is simpler than the original system, it is useless if it is still too complex to shed new light and to add to the understanding of the system.
Forrester put some formalism into the diagrams using a series of simple symbols or icons associated with various processes. The two main ones were level and rate
Temperature Reproduction Development Development

Figure 5 Forrester's formalism for conceptual diagrams. The rate and the level are two main icons that can be used to put together more complex diagrams such as the one for the insect population. From http://www.ento.vt.edu/~sharov/PopEcol/lec1/struct.html.

(Figure 5). Levels were used to identify storages of material or energy, while rates were controlling the flows between them. Using this formalism Forrester created complex models for such systems as cities, industries, and even the whole world. Similar formalism was later used in several modeling software packages.
Odum created another set of symbols to model systems based on the energy flows through them. He called them energy diagrams, and used six main icons shown in Figure 6. All systems were described in terms of energy, assuming that for all variables and processes we can calculate the 'embodied' energy. In this case energy works as a general currency to measure all processes and 'things'.

Health Care Charities Are Under Threat
Health Care Charities Save Lives & Taxpayer Dollars
Nearly 30 years ago, PSI, the nation's first patient assistance charity, was established to help Americans battling chronic and rare diseases access life-saving health care.
Since then, an entire sector of similar charities emerged to provide a temporary safety net to over half a million Americans who, through no fault of their own, are suffering from life-threatening – and expensive – conditions.
Patient assistance charities don't just save lives – they save limited government funds.
Charities like PSI have become an essential cornerstone of America's health care system, providing an estimated $1 billion in financial assistance to Americans in-need. Absent these charitable donations, hundreds of thousands of Americans would be forced to turn to resource-strapped government programs – if they even qualify – for the care they need.
Yet, health care charities are under threat.
Recent guidance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) restricts the ability of charities to communicate with pharmaceutical donors about new therapies and patient needs. This guidance has become so constraining that it is impairing charities' ability to operate, making it difficult to develop new programs and obtain funding for existing programs that many patients rely on.
Simply put, if charities can't step in to help chronic and rare disease patients cover the prohibitive costs of their health care, either hardworking taxpayers will have to, or people will die.
It's time to end misguided federal policies that contradict everything we stand for as Americans.
Take Action
What is Patient Services Incorporated further doing to protect people with chronic illness? On January 8, 2018, PSI filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for violating our Free Speech Rights. Learn more here.

In the early days of the American Pacific Northwest, small settlements dot the wilds of streams and dense woods.
Isaac Evers, a community leader and former militiaman, has established a small colony on Whidbey Island. Though the area appears calmer than in the past, the northern indigenous clans still threaten the livelihood of Isaac's growing family.
While Isaac is away on expeditions, his wife Emmy tends to the many duties required of a property owner on Whidbey Island. Bold and assertive, Emmy has little time for the restraint of social mores. But as times on the island become more turbulent, her constitution and conviction are tested.
Elsewhere, Haida native Anah-nawitka feels the rush of his first kill and the satisfying vengeance cast from his hand to the head of the invading white colonists. Basking in the praise from his tribemates, Anah starts down a violent path that will alter a great many lives.
Meanwhile, the British and the U.S. Army are quietly grinding against each other following a boundary dispute, leaving men like Captain George Edward Pickett in a tight situation. In charge of the nearby Union fort, Pickett does his best to maintain his authority while he struggles with tragic events in his past.
Weaving these story threads together into a powerful whole, Gerard LaSalle tells the story of an unforgettable American adventure.

Use storage system features to granularly manage virtual machines
Arun Taneja explains the importance of managing storage granularly and which vendors are meeting the demand for VM-level visibility.
To understand how to manage virtual machines in a virtual server environment, it is helpful to examine the situation from a storage perspective.
Consider this scenario: There are 20 virtual machines (VMs) running in a physical server (or in a number of physical servers), and they are all being serviced by a SAN. In this classic example, storage managers would create a LUN and allocate a certain amount of storage from that LUN to each of the 20 VMs.
At this point, the storage knows information only at the LUN level. But what storage administrators really want is information about the virtual machines at the VM level.
Here is another scenario to consider. You want to replicate a particular VM that handles a mission-critical application to two different places across a wide area network. But you also have a variety of other VMs running in the same cluster that are not important and may not need any replication. However, if you can replicate only at the LUN level, the only way to manage that storage is to replicate the entire LUN to replicate that one critical VM.
In this example, a storage administrator wants a storage system smart enough to know that VM No. 1 is a priority -- and that it must deliver a certain quality of service to that VM and restrict others if need be.
There are now vendors with products designed specifically to address this problem, and Tintri was the first company to enable storage to be managed at the VM level. If you ask for particular parameters at the VM level, you get all those things even though there are storage-related parameters. A majority of storage companies and storage products in the industry still do not provide this level of granular, VM-level manageability.
In today's landscape, VM-level visibility is the so-called Holy Grail. Every storage vendor aspires to deliver on this, but it is hard for traditional storage architectures to add VM-level manageability because it requires a fundamental shift. It is an easier task for new vendors to build in this capability, but many do not have this feature. These vendors, along with traditional vendors, will now rely on VMware Virtual Volumes (VVOLs) to enable this functionality. Of the new players who provided this capability from the start, Tintri is a prime example, but there are others. For example, NexGen built quality of service at a VM level, which provided valuable storage information at that level. Since the acquisition of NexGen by Fusion-io, however, there has been little news about this product. Other vendors that can provide this capability are Gridstore, Maxta and VMware's Virtual SAN.
Storage managers should keep in mind that all hyper-converged system vendors deliver this functionality, since they are all VM-centric to start with. For example, Nutanix, Scale Computing and SimpliVity all provide data (storage and non-storage) with VM-level granularity. Down the road, all players will deliver on this via VVOLs (which become available sometime in 2015). The amount of visibility and manageability that VM-level functionality brings to an IT admin is so powerful that any storage vendor without this capability by the end of 2015 will likely suffer.

Project managers, general contractors and facilities teams alike are all often frustrated at the lengthy time it takes to close out a newly constructed building. Delivering a connected closeout package ensures that the owner and the GC have quick and easy access to the existing building info, which speeds up the bidding process for TI's, and speeds up closeouts within weeks instead of months. Better closeouts can also help win more jobs from the same owner. Plus, facilities teams get quick and easy access to documentation that they need, and with continuously updated conformed as-builts showing all historical renovations, it can help minimize change orders on future renovation projects. How can you break the norms between a slow-going, traditional paper / CD / thumb drive deliverable and make the entire process faster and easier? Join this webcast to learn about new trends, technology and best practices for bridging the gaps in construction closeouts.

The client wanted a logotype with a mark that would be elegant and organic looking. I chose a font that was graceful and sophisticated, and also had a curvaceous feel that mimicked the curved lines in the heart. The heart is a symbol of affection and care, quite appropriate for a body and health spa. The shape of the heart is made organic by the stylized foliage. The spa itself displays vintage inspired wallpaper and this heart has the same damask look. The colours of the type are muted and calming, whereas the heart gives a pop of colour, a deep burgundy, which is a historically appropriate colour to the Victorian building the spa is housed in and also complimentary to the greens used in the logotype.
The Friends of Fort Malden, a non-profit group, hired me to create a logo mark for their organization. It had to be friendly and inviting, since their volunteers work with children much of the time, but it also had to pay homage to the military history of the Fort. The clients specified that they wanted a soldier, and he had to be in a military uniform appropriate for 1812.
Kingsville Chiropractic Clinic wanted a logo with mark that was professional and classic in feel while also demonstrating its natural approach to health. The client also indicated that he didn't want it to be excessively serious, as he has a friendly personal relationship with his patients, and yet not too quirky since he is held in a position of authority. During my research I came across a quote: "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree." The chiropractor later told me that this was a quote most chiropractors are familiar with. This quote became the inspiration for me to create a graphic that used a tree trunk to depict a spine. Above is a singular leaf. The tree speaks to a holistic approach to health, while the leaf above the text indicates protection. The text is done in a modern sans-serif humanist font. The script font at the bottom gives the logo a more casual feel and the grass line has a grounding effect while bringing everything together.
Wicker Park Chocolates wanted a logotype that conveyed a friendly, accessible, and unique feel, while also retaining some sophistication. During the client interview, she described her chocolates as delicious and inexpensive. The ingredients are very accessible: milk and dark chocolate, caramel, fruit creams. Nothing too exotic or intimidating. She also indicated that her shop was casual, fun, and distinctive. For the logotype I chose a font that has loads of personality and is the perfect balance between whimsy and sophistication. This logotype is not overly elegant and therefore doesn't convey an expensive feel. It is unique and yet approachable.
Magpie Books is a children's books imprint. Since I am the publisher I know who my market is and as a designer I know what works graphically. For the logo I wanted something that would appeal to children while not looking overly childish. As an imprint of Palimpsest, the logo had to express design excellence since Palimpsest takes that as part of its mandate. In the logo the Magpie is seen flying, as part of the marketing strategy uses the tag line "Let imagine take flight." The Magpie is known for its beautiful blue and white wings and so these characteristic colours have been added. The tail end of the bird has been rounded so the logo will easily fit on the spine of a book without distortion.
For the logotype I used a kid-friendly font that had enough weight that it looks good while tucked beside the wing. There is a lot of versatility in how this mark and type can be used, either singularly or together.

Physics is about answering the questions that come from the world around us: from the smallest atomic particles to the distant galaxies above our heads. If you want to know the answers to the following, study Physics at Brentwood:
The aim of the Physics department is to try and inspire curiosity; to wonder about the world around us and to help students understand how we think it works.
Physics and Engineering are the basis of most of our modern technologically-based life. As lessons progress, we have vibrant discussions so that students are always considering what they learn in the context of 'real world' situations. For example: although we can do some things through scientific advancement, does it always mean that we should?
Physics is a subject that requires demonstrations and experiments to help bring it to life. We have an amazing range of equipment that allows students to perform experiments often done as demonstrations elsewhere.

Inspiration for today's blog is Goldie's last post:
The blog talks about how much amount right of speech employees should have when they don't agree with the company they work for.
On one hand we are all entitled to our opinion.
On the other hand, in a time where finding a job isn't particularly easy, probably 50 others are happy to "shut up and work".
Today's question is:
Did you choose the company, you work for, because you're passionate about that field of business?
Every company needs an HR or IT department, managers and technical staff.
But did you choose the specific business or just the job?
I work for a Wind Power company.
Not because I'm such a "green person".
I don't do a lot of waste control. Don't say it, I know.
I drive the car a lot, not just for work.
I too often forget to turn off the light because life is really freaking hectic.
I throw old clothes away instead of giving them away. I honestly think if they are not good enough for me, they shouldn't be good enough for anyone else. I don't possess any high end or quality brands.
I just like the engineering in a Wind Turbine.
The other day we drove by a tobacco company.
"What if you'd get a great job opportunity at a company like this?", I asked to Jasper, "One where you get to travel to nice locations, get an awesome salary and your colleagues are hilarious yet proffesional".
I asked this, knowing that Jasper hates smoking much more than I do.
He gave me that "sounds tempting" look.
You probably wouldn't be surprised, I'd take it.
I don't have too many standards in life when it comes to work.
We all know ALL organisations are commercial and nasty.
Yes, including hospital and other "NGO's".
Don't pretend.

MMA Workouts 101: How to Start an MMA Conditioning Program for More Effective MMA Techniques and Self-Defense Moves
In other words, we may run, lift weights and hit the plyometric box to condition for fight training even though these activities don't specifically resemble the technical expression of the target sport. We must condition elements outside the physical correlates of our sport. Example: Does anyone really think an NFL lineman gets that large and powerful simply by playing football? No, he must engage in auxiliary sports (running, lifting, etc.) to improve an altogether separate game. Conversely, drilling, which is all about the technical cultivation of the sport in question, can (and should) contribute to the conditioning effect by shear physical intensity. Pure conditioning and drilling contribute to the conditioning effect, but we should never allow the conditioning effect contributed by drilling alone to stand in for the necessary supplemental work. A number of roadblocks may prevent us from embracing drilling as it's meant — and needs — to be. The excuses fall into two broad categories: lack of discipline and lack of mission perspective.
MMA VIDEOS Mark Hatmaker Expounds on Training RoadblocksThere are essentially five punches in boxing (jab, cross, hook, uppercut and overhand), yet the sport thrives. All successful boxers work on those five punches for their entire careers without the need for "intellectual novelty." They're confident that thousands of reps of those techniques will serve them well — and it does. We'd find it ludicrous to hear of a boxer who threw only a few hundred punches and then decided to go pro.

Bruce Lee Training Research: How Boxing Influenced His Jeet Kune Do Techniques
That strikes us as absurd because we recognize that the imaginary athlete is missing what his sport is all about. It's about doing a handful of activities exceptionally well. To do something well, we must be either gifted or exceptionally disciplined. Genetic exceptionalism is rare, so that leaves the rest of us to cultivate self-discipline. The second mistake, lack of mission perspective, can afflict even the supremely disciplined. It's not enough to drill with intensity and mental focus; we must match the drills to the game at hand. Back to our boxing example: If a fighter recognizes that a lead hook drops most opponents and he works that punch to the exclusion of all others, he's making a mistake. Yes, the hook may be a dropper, but the jab sets up all else, the cross has a high drop rate, too, and so on. We can immediately see that such a limited strategy is unwise. By the same token, the combat athlete who invests drilling time in unlikely, or even impossible, scenarios is not much better off than the undisciplined athlete. Where conditioning may draw on multi-sport activities that bear little resemblance to the target sport, drilling must be fine-tuned to reflect what the sport entails, not what we want it to be, not what we wish it to be, not what we surmise it to be, not what this or that authority says it is but what it actually is. We must scrutinize each drill to see whether it correlates with the game in question — if not, we may be wasting precious conditioning and drilling time.

Everyone dowload the 1.6 version because 1.7 bugs
It destoryed my hole server inventory and now I have to give everyone free stuff because the bug
Per World Inventory 2.3.1
Have a seperate inventory and more, for each world
- 4/5,
- 5/5,
Delete Multiverse-Inventories that spams my console, load PerWorldInventory, and... and... YEEEZZZ! :)) Error-FREE !! Very, very nice! Thank you! Where is the donate button?
- 5/5,
Yesterday I posted a frustrated review accompanying a 1-star rating. I had spent a precious Saturday with little luck separating my world inventories. It nagged at me though, that the creative inventories and economies separated so immediately and cleanly from the survival ones. Obviously something was working. Additionally, and very much to his credit, Gnat008 reached out to me individually to offer assistance…within minutes of my post. Seriously, full marks there.
I couldn't send the files he asked to see (since I had deleted everything) so I tried the plug-in again today, starting with a clean 2-world server. And guess what…it worked. I had to include the Essentials plug-in so that Vault would hook, but that makes sense, because Vault is only an API for some separate Economy program to use (maybe that could be made clearer in the documentation, such as "requires Vault and an Economy plug-in" or some such). I have absolutely no idea what I was doing wrong before, I was virtually certain I repeated the same steps, but it just…worked. All of it. Exactly like others have reported. So my sincerest apologies; I deleted the other post (couldn't work out how to edit it), and I hope this review puts things right.
The only thing I can think is that at one point I was relying on not specifying worlds in the worlds.yml file, thinking that "share-if-unconfigured: false" would keep them separate (I now think I was misunderstanding that setting, maybe that could be made clearer too). Perhaps some comedy of errors involving not saving or loading changes contributed, I don't know. But I tested it, and then put it on my live server, and it all works flawlessly. Kudos to Gnat008 for an excellent plug-in, and one that I am frankly surprised isn't getting more attention.
One final point, if you auto-convert from Multiverse after manually setting up worlds.yml, you get repeats in the groups, but it shouldn't affect the functioning of the plug-in, and is easily fixed.

The 1.7.4 update fixed the 1.10 bug! Everything works perfectly and it is a great plugin for Multiverse users!
- 3/5,
The plugin works but i'm having some issues. I have to 3 worlds, my main world, spawn world and creative world. I have my main world and spawn world set up so that they should share the same inventory but they don't, they both have separate inventories :/
- 2/5,
Stopped working on 1.10. Even did a full plugin reinstall. This is server-breaking. Error: [00:29:30 ERROR]: Could not pass event PlayerQuitEvent to PerWorldInventory v1.7
This error happens when people leave. Its the only evidence of something going wrong but the inventories and gamemodes remain the same. Please fix this I can't wait much longer for the server to start.
- 1/5,
I'm at really a loss for words. I wanted this plugin for a survival and a creative PlotSquared world but no matter what I do, they have the same inventories... I have no idea whats wrong I feel like i've tried everything
- 4/5,
Its useful, but at the moment, i am having an issue, all my worlds share the same inventory, and i configured it to have differient inventory's per group
- 5/5,
The Dev came on my server and used it to test the economy features out. Talk about Devotion! 10 Stars if I could! The all in one Source for Using Worlds like you would servers to conserve Ram and Resources. A must have Resource for any Multi-World setup!
- 5/5,
Really cool plugin, works great! It would be great if you could merge worlds inventories (so that two worlds share their inventories, and keep non-merged with the rest of the worlds!) Thanks for your hard work. ~Henriko
- 4/5,
1.7.1 does not work on my server, all maps have the same inventory and there is no error in the log. I think the plugin not manage in this version the inventorys, i removed it and the inventory was still there. (We have no other plugins for inventorys)
But 1.6.1 works good, theres an error with the Endmap, the inventory isnt the same as the survivalmap. But you can duplicate items with the enderchest, i cant explain it :/
Do i somethink wrong while updating the plugin? I just remove 1.6.1 and add 1.7.1, delete the old config, the worlds.yml and default.json and restart the server and configure it like in 1.6.1
Have a nice day!
- 2/5,
I think i'm not going to use this, op's keep their inventory well if they have permission * which I have since I'm owner so I keep the same inventory each world. Disable this so people with permission * don't bypass it..
Author's Response
That is exactly why you don't use '*'. Either way, it is a simple matter to negate a permission in any permission plugin that I know of.
- 5/5,
The last update fixed all issues 1.7.0 had. This plugin works flawlessly and I'm very happy with it! A must have for anyone running a multiworld setup.
- 5/5,
Perfect !
Your plugin is now mandatory at who have a multiworld server with suvival and creative !
- 3/5,
Conversion failed hard....
thanks anyway. i hope this plugin stay updated for a longer time than multiverse inventories
- 5/5,
I absolutely disagree with crocro13 and ajbboy123.
This plugin is perfectly stable (on 1.9.2) and works as expected. No complaints.
- 2/5,
I agree with ajbboy123
Very buggy, deleted multiple user's inventory by them simply reconnecting, or if a user times out there inventory is wiped sometimes. Overall, very buggy with actually saving inventories, switched over to another plugin and all issues went away.

All in one separator plugin <3 The BEST! I totally recommend this plugin for you out there xD !!!!!!
- 5/5,
Very nice!
I didn't use it, though. If you add a feature that makes it so all worlds BUT ones listed have a shared inventory (So any world created is always shared except ones listed), then I'll use it. My 1.7.10 modded server has mods where people can make their own worlds.

The Dead Man's Mother
Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out — the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry."
Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" The dead man sat up and began to talk and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
They were all filled with awe and praised God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people." This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.
. . . . . .
I have been this dead man's mother.
I have carried broken, dead dreams. I have cried alongside coffins containing my hopes and wishes and prayers. Sometimes my heart.
And Jesus has met me on my way to bury these things. He has stopped the funeral procession in progress. Moved with compassion, he has stepped out of the crowd, lifted my chin, and whispered words of relief.
Sometimes when he does this, I look first into his eyes and then back at the coffin and say, "but they're still dead." What I have been carrying with me is still unmoving, void of life. I continue on with the funeral procession, desperate to bury these things in the ground and bury myself in sorrow.
But he replies, "You don't have to bury this at all." And with one swift motion, he approaches the dead and reverses the damage. He breathes life into what I never thought I'd see breathing again.
And I am reunited with my beloved.
I am rejoiced, overcome with gratitude and awe.
. . . . . .
This is a beautiful story of a mother whose hope was revived as Jesus interrupted a funeral procession and brought her dead son back to life.
And this, too, is my story as Jesus revives my hope and brings my dead things back to life time and time again.
I have been this dead man's mother, yet I have also often forgotten it.
I have witnessed Jesus interrupt my funeral processions and breathe life back into my hopes and dreams, and then I have thrown accusations at him. Why didn't you come sooner?
I have seen him change my life. I was even once that dead man. Jesus saved me as crying, praying mothers walked alongside my coffin. And yet I live as though I'm still dead, unable to move or see a future ahead.
I have been given by God what no other could give: revived hopes and dreams, a healing heart that once felt irreparably broken. And then I have felt the call of death come again, rendering me forgetful of His healing hand.
I find myself crying out as if nothing has ever happened. As if I have never seen dead things rise. As if I never was this dead man and never was this dead man's mother.
. . . . . .
The Spirit inside of me contains the power to move mountains, yet I have been staring at mountains without making a move.
I forget the power that raised this mother's dead son lives in me. I forget the work that has been done and the promises that have been given.
Most of all, I forget that God is good.
I question his desire to move my mountains because I've been staring at nothing but these mountains all my life.
Of course they're going to seem insurmountable when all I do is gape at their largeness and question God in His faithfulness.
How is He ever going to prove His faithfulness in my life if I'm so quick to forget my once-dead son?
In Scripture, we read of stories where God came to His children's rescue and they then built an altar to declare and remember what God had done. So where are my altars? Why am I brushing past healing, victories, and resurrections in my life? No wonder I can't remember. No wonder I'm quick to doubt and fear.
Where is my good Father? I've been demanding.
Where is He not? is the better question.
. . . . . .
My declaration over today: I once was dead and now I am alive. My broken heart is being tenderly mended. My hopes and dreams have been renewed.
What has taken place is worthy of remembrance.
So today, God, I remember you.
The End of Our Mourning
The death of Moses was a pivotal time for the Israelites. Wandering through the desert for forty years on their way to the Promised Land, it's no surprise they were deeply distressed upon the news of their leader's death. After all, he was supposed to bring them there, right?
"Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over." (Deuteronomy 34:7-8)
There are several things we learn from these verses.
1) Moses died while he still had his strength.
Moses led the Israelites all those years but there was one among them worthy of finishing the job. Joshua was chosen to finally lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. Joshua was courageous and trusted God (Exodus 17:10, Deut. 34:9, Joshua 3:1) while Moses was less than brave (Exodus 3:13, 4:1, 4:10). Joshua was immediately obedient (Joshua 3:1) and made sure he and the Israelites were putting God first, allowing Him to lead the way (Joshua 3:3, 24:15). He believed that God would work miracles (Joshua 3:5) and was "filled with the spirit of wisdom" (Deut. 34:9).
Moses was a great leader, but God had another in mind. In order to finish the job, he had to make way for Joshua.
Likewise, we suffer from loss in our lives very unexpectedly. When it seems like everything's going great and there's even better things to come, God eventually throws a curve ball in our lives. This isn't too harm us or purposefully cause us or others to suffer. Sometime it is just to make way for better things.
2) The Israelites grieved for Moses for thirty days.
Why is this significant? Because during the time period of the Israelites' wandering, traditional mourning lasted SEVEN days, NOT thirty. This implies that the loss of Moses was especially painful and especially dramatic.
We all suffer in our lives, some more than others. Sometimes we can't help but mourn and weep for our losses. Change can be especially difficult to deal with. The Israelites depended on Moses for so many years. What were they to do now that he was gone?
3) The Israelites remained in place "until the time of weeping and mourning was over."
It's understandable that we are afraid of the future or have no wish to press forward while we are hurting or mourning. However, the Israelites knew that they had to make a conscious effort to focus on what's ahead and not let their sufferings hold them back. Instead of wallowing in their pain for forty more years, they CHOSE to listen to Joshua (Deut. 34:9) and followed him into new territory, closer to their destination, the Promised Land.
You may be struggling right now. You may be tired and hurt. You may not have a wish to move forward. You may be questioning why God would bring such pain into your life. One thing that must be remembered is that IT'S NOT OVER. Like the Israelites, a lot of us need to make a conscious effort to put our trust in God once again. We need to pack up our bags and continue walking towards the Promised Land. It's so easy to wallow in pain, but God has other plans for us.
Give your struggles up to God and put your faith in Him. Expect a miracle.

Due to the ongoing water shortage and the need for improved production, the use of drip irrigation in orchards is increasing at a rapid pace. Citrus crops can withstand drought stress better than other subtropical trees and thus have lower water requirements. That said, it is important to choose the correct irrigation system for your specific crop. Citrus crops require an approach which includes the application of fertilizers through the irrigation system, and the controlling of water and mineral availability. With drip irrigation there is quite a variety of dripper pipe choices available, and it is important to keep certain factors in mind, such as climate (water requirements), soil type, topography (flat or steep), the nature of your water source, etc. Drip irrigation needs a high level of management with well-trained employees. With effective Irrigation scheduling, water can be given accurately and timeously to the crop to ensure increased crop yields.
Micro sprinklers or drip?
Let's take one of our clients as an example. They are farming in the Swartland District between Malmesbury and Moorreesburg against the slopes of the mountains. They've done a couple of trials including micro sprinklers and drip irrigation and found that drip is a better fit. With the micro sprinklers they had a huge problem with water running away and the roots not receiving sufficient water to enable optimal growth. With the decision made, they've started off with a heavy-duty compensating dripper which is ideal for the steep uphill environment. Our technical advisor Johan Kemp recommended the use of a Vered 2.3 litre per hour dripper with a spacing of 0.75m, using only one line on the ground next to the young trees. In the second year, another line was added on the other side of the trees to ensure sufficient water.
Depending on your water source, there is always a chance of emitter clogging and therefore your irrigation system needs a good filtration system. In our example above, the client decided to use a Filtomat M100 automatic hydraulic filter with a self-cleaning mechanism and a 130 micron screen, which is sufficient for their filtration needs. They make use of water coming from the mountain and borehole water as well as water drawn from the Bergrivier River. When making use of drip irrigation, it is very important to pay careful attention to filtration. When this is done correctly, your irrigation system will require less maintenance.
With the drip irrigation system, an automated high-tech fertigation system was installed, which enables the crop to be fertilized with every irrigation session on a daily basis.
The farmers could also make use of block valves to assist with the opening, closing and pressure regulation of the irrigation system. The block valves can be controlled via wired or wireless options.
Our friendly, fully qualified technical advisors at Agriplas will gladly assist you with your irrigation needs, whether it be irrigation, filtration, fertigation or automation.

GDPR or Global Data Privacy Regulation is regulation imposed by EU countries to ensure greater data protection requirements on companies that capture, store or process data of their residents. All entities whether in EU or abroad should comply with the regulation if they work on data pertaining to EU residents.
GDPR, among other things, requires that consumer should have provided approval for capturing his/ her personal data. If companies house any personal data where they do not have approval from consumer, they should reach out within 30 days and get their consent for doing so. They should only capture data that is required for their business needs and not collect any other type of data. When it comes to data storage, they need to make sure they have appropriate controls in place to prevent hacking or misuse of the data. Also, as soon as the customer requests their data be deleted, they should delete this within 30 days of the customer request. Data processing should also be confined to areas where there is a legitimate business interest in doing so.
So, what are the implications for sales and marketing teams?
Let us start with marketing. The first implication for marketing folks is to stop sending bulk emails to prospects unless they have opted in for those mails. Bulk emails that provide updates on your product / company / that talk about a world event is data they do not need to know about, unless of course they've evinced interest in this. Spamming them with bulk emails is considered a breach of their privacy and therefore must be stopped. The right way to do it is to ask them to subscribe to your posts/ newsletters/ product updates on your website when they sign up. You'll need to work on your SEO to get a good number of users to your website if you'd like them to convert to your subscribers.
Also, you should not send them promotional content when they sign up for a demo or free trial. Again, this is considered a breach as their intent is very different. The best way to get them to subscribe to your promotional content is by asking them explicitly if they would be interested. This could be a small checkbox at the time they're signing up with appropriate wording, or could be a separate section on the website calling this out explicitly. Here's an example of how you can do this:
When it comes to sales prospecting, there is fine line between what is called legitimate interest and what is not. It is ok to reach out to prospects over a cold call and ask them if they would be interested in learning more about your service, as long as there is a legitimate business reason for doing so. However, it is not ok to reach out to them over a cold call and start sending them promotional material even if they are not interested. Remember there should be consent from the consumer on whether this really interests them or not. If they are not interested, you should stop contacting them further and delete their contact from your database within 30 days.
Also when you are cold mailing prospects, keep in mind that the first mail is only to explain the reason for reaching out, pitch what you've to offer and ask them if there is an interest to learn more. If not, stop mailing them immediately. Also, only send 1:1 emails and try to customize it so it doesn't sound like you are trying to sell your product/ service even where they may be no legitimate interest. Also make sure you have an unsubscribe link and a link to your privacy policy on the email.
Social selling or going through warm introductions is probably the safest way of reaching out to them When you add contacts on social media, and they add you back they've already consented to give you their information. Post this, you can drop a note to see if they are interested. Similarly, a warm introduction is not spamming and has a third person also believe there is a legitimate interest to reach out.
In conclusion, you need to revisit your sales and marketing process for EU residents in post GDPR era. Think of what potentially results in spamming vs where you are doing a 1:1 reach out where there is a legitimate business interest for doing so. Also, your outreach should mention how you got access to their information, why you are reaching out and if they would like to learn more. Make sure you are compliant with the law, and breaches can lead to severe regulatory fines. Some companies in order to be safe have adopted a firm wide change in strategy for sales and marketing efforts so there are no special precautions the team needs to take while reaching out to EU residents. If you haven't done this, no worries, but definitely rethink your strategy for EU residents and make sure you comply with GDPR.

It may be 15 degrees outside, but I've got spring fever!
It is this pepper's first debut to the outside world. In a few weeks this little guy will be transplanted into the properly thawed and prepared greenhouse with its siblings. This is one of the more than 80 pepper seedlings that we have growing in our seed nursery under T5 florescent lights.
We started our first round of seeds in peat soil pellets about six weeks ago, at the beginning of January, in hopes of an early and abundant harvest. Currently neighboring the mixture of hot and mild/salad peppers inside the nursery are: 64 Pink Brandywine tomatoes, and upwards of 60 Diamond and Malaysian Dark Red eggplants. We will be starting our next round of seeds within the next two weeks which will include 3-4 more tomato varieties.
Amid the cold and windy days of winter, it is the farm prep chores that get me excited for the warm weather of spring. On the docket we have many tasks ahead of us for 2015, such as seed planting & transplanting, soil & bed preparation, drip irrigation installation, potato planting, and an adventure into beekeeping! Stay tuned!

text: Brian Murphy, QDMA Doe Management Dilemmas Doe harvests are necessary, but many questions remain Doe Management Dilemmas The year 1999 probably wasn't one many hunters considered significant from a deer management perspective, but it sure was to me. It was the first year on record that more antlerless deer were harvested nationwide than antlered bucks. This represented a monumental turning point following decades of buck-dominated harvests that had produced record deer herds heavily skewed toward does and few bucks surviving beyond their first set of headgear. Thankfully, much progress has been made during the past decade and most hunters today realize that doe harvest is necessary in many areas, yet many questions remain.When?When during the hunting season to harvest does is an important consideration. In most cases, the earlier the better – for many reasons. One benefit is the reduction of mistakenly-harvested buck fawns due to the dramatic size difference between adult does and fawns early in the season. As the season progresses, fawns, especially buck fawns, begin resembling adult does which makes mistakes more likely.Harvesting does early also increases nutrition for the remaining animals. For example, since the average deer consumes around six pounds of forage per day, harvesting 10 does two months earlier than normal would save 3,600 pounds of forage (10 does X 6 lbs/day X 60 days). That's more forage than most one-acre food plots produce during the same period. This extra forage can be extremely important during the critical late-winter stress period.Early doe harvest also helps balance the sex ratio of the herd before the rut and can increase the number of does that breed on their first estrous (heat) cycle. This creates a healthier, more consistent fawn crop. It also reduces the energy expended by bucks because they don't waste precious energy chasing and breeding does that will only be harvested later. Another important benefit of harvesting does early is to ensure that your annual harvest goal is achieved. Too often, hunters wait until late in the season to begin harvesting does and fail to meet their goal. Like bucks, does react to hunting pressure by changing their movement patterns, especially during daylight - even where they are not harvested early in the season. Also, hunter interest and participation often begin to wane late in the season. The rut is over, the weather is lousy, and some already have venison in the freezer. Even those trying to harvest does often become less careful toward the end of the season and make poor harvest decisions. This increases the number of button bucks and/or small-antlered yearling bucks in the harvest – both mistaken for does. Another concern, especially in states with very late hunting seasons, is the harvest of mature bucks that have already cast their antlers. Few things cause more frustration than mistakenly harvesting a buck that had already cast its antlers after it had been passed several times during the season. Despite the numerous benefits of removing does early, harvesting does accompanied by young fawns should be carefully considered. Typically, whitetail fawns are weanable 60 to 90 days after birth. Hunting seasons are set with this in mind. As such, the majority of fawns, except those born extremely late, are easily of weanable age by the beginning of hunting season.Two studies have produced conflicting results regarding survival of orphaned fawns. A Georgia study concluded that orphaned male fawns actually had higher survival rates than those left with their mothers. This was because fewer dispersed from their birth area, which is commonly associated with maternal aggression. These fawns remained in familiar territory and survived at higher rates. In contrast, a Texas study concluded that fawns orphaned during November had lower survival rates – likely due to increased coyote predation. In addition to differences in predator abundance in these two studies, the average age of fawns at time of orphaning also differed. The fawns in the Texas study were four to five months old while most fawns in the Georgia study were at least six months old.Given these two studies, I suggest harvesting does early in the hunting season, except in areas with extremely high predator populations or extremely late breeding periods resulting in fawns being less than 60 days old at the beginning of hunting season. How can you determine a fawn is old enough to survive if you harvest its mother? In most cases, these fawns will exceed 40 pounds live weight and their spots will either be gone or very indistinct. If in doubt, let the doe walk.How Many? The number of does that should be taken from a given property depends on many factors including property size, property shape, habitat quality, management goals, deer density, herd sex ratio, herd productivity, and management practices on adjacent properties. Given the complexity of this subject, it is highly recommended that you seek advice from a wildlife biologist familiar with your area. Within a few years, you can generally establish a baseline harvest level that can be adjusted as needed in relation to changes in habitat quality or seasonal conditions.Throughout much of the whitetail's range, deer densities range from 20 to 50 per square mile. In these areas, the harvest of one doe per 50 to 200 acres is generally required to maintain herds in a healthy condition. Within this range, most managers recommend a harvest rate of around one doe per 75 to 150 acres. However, in highly productive areas or if herd reduction is necessary, more aggressive harvests may be required. In contrast, in low-density herds or in low quality habitats, more conservative harvest rates, or even no doe harvest, may be justified.Which Ones? Which does to harvest – fawns, yearlings, or adults – is another important consideration. In general, I recommend harvesting the first doe that offers an ethical shot. This is because in some areas it is difficult to harvest enough does and every opportunity wasted only compounds this situation. When multiple does are present, I recommend harvesting a large, adult doe. As previously noted, this will greatly reduce the number of buck fawns harvested by mistake due to differences in body size and shape. Another reason is because adult does are the most reproductive segment of the herd. Thus, harvesting adult does lowers the population faster than harvesting fawns or yearlings, which either don't breed or produce fewer fawns.Without question, most hunters today, especially bowhunters, no longer consider does the "Sacred Cows" of yesteryear. They have embraced their role in deer management and deer herds (and their freezers) have benefited. Just keep in mind that like most aspects of deer management, the when, how many, and which ones of doe management are site specific. But, hopefully, this edition of Whitetail Science will help you resolve your doe management dilemmas.Brian Murphy is a wildlife biologist and CEO of the Quality Deer Management Association (www.QDMA.com).

This is the second in a series of three articles warning dwelling buyers and sellers about the main tips estate brokers use to get hold of your cash. Even when a purchaser has finance obtainable, an agent may tell patrons that 'it is firm coverage' to make sure that all buyers get the perfect mortgage deals obtainable and so, whether or not you want it or not, the agent makes an appointment so that you can meet a mortgage salesman with enterprise connections to the company.
Looking for house is moreover a decent funding particularly after you square measure about to buy a goal an space wherever a number of firm is already existing, in brief an space wherever it's accessible to a to high schools, market, handy retailer, filling station and alternative necessary establishment that has your every day desires.
So even when a purchaser believes their lawyer and surveyor are representing their pursuits, it's likely that the lawyer and surveyor shall be more delicate about ensuring continuing an excellent relationship with the estate agent fairly than worrying in regards to the interests of a buyer that they may in all probability never take care of once more.
Some examples of profitable short term ownership strategies include locating sellers desperate to promote, probate sales, foreclosure gross sales, and REOs (actual property owned) when the mortgage bank takes again property after the house owner fails to make their agreed upon payments.
In at this time's highly competitive market there's a vast array of choices to be made when deciding on the kind of dwelling you wish to reside in. Below is a comparison of the advantages and drawbacks of shopping for a brand new home versus a resale home.

3 Ways to be Eco-Conscious Parents September 22, 2017 16:36
Piperoos strives to be eco-conscious in every way possible!! Doing our part for the planet means manufacturing locally, using 100% organic cotton and choosing to use eco-friendly packaging (recycled cardboard and soy-based ink, also printed locally).
We also want to help you be eco-conscious! Here are 3 ideas of ways that you can reduce your impact (based on the that came out on the most effective individual actions to act on climate change)
1) Eat a vegetarian diet
We know this one can be hard for many so without going 100% vegetarian, we invite you to eat more and more vegetarian meals. Angela Liddon's website Oh She Glows is a TERRIFIC place for inspiration. Plus, she has a kid of her own and alot of her recipes are kid-friendly such as this fast pasta recipe!
2) Be picky about what you buy
A few criteria should be in the forefront when making purchases. Here are three questions to ask: "do I need this?", "how is this manufactured/produced?" and "will this last?"
3) Use public or active transport when you can
This can be a real challenge with kids and public transport isn't always accessible. But when it is, or when the play group or the library is a 20-min walk from your home, take advantage of it!
It's so important to stay positive about these changes however so make sure you do what you can, but avoid beating yourself up about the stuff you can't do. We all have different realities and we can all do our part, in our own way.
Every action counts and intention can go a long way as it slowly makes its way into your everyday habits. We'd love to hear from you! What are your eco-friendly actions that you're already doing or that you intend on including in your life?

Woody Hall invented and in four months sold 3 million copies of the famous three-dimensional "Have a Nice Day" smile face, and you didn't. Why?
Probably for the same reason that when Hall's latest novelty, Bald No More, goes into national distribution in two weeks, he will get the money, if there's any to be made, and you won't.
Bald No More shows how Hall's mind works. Most remedies for baldness add hair to the bald part of the head. Why not take the opposite approach and subtract head from hair? The answer was obvious. But it was a funny idea, and so the label on the jar promises that Bald No More will shrink your head so your hair will fit.
Hall, who is 72 and lives in Lake San Marcos, Calif., retired from a sales career 17 years ago and began inventing wonderful things like Chinese Chess, mink cufflinks, Executive Marbles, Socks Fifth Avenue credit cards and tiny animal statuettes mounted on pedestals inscribed with an appropriate sentiment: For the cow, it's "I'm in the moooo-d for love."
"Good ideas don't care who they happen to," Hall says. "And when one happens to you, you should do something about it. Most people don't. They decide their idea is absurd; they think someone else already has thought of it; they don't know how to protect their idea and fear it will be stolen; and they lack marketing know-how."
That calculation gave Hall another idea: Write a book about selling ideas. The result was Your Ideas May Be Worth a Fortune. He published it himself and has sold thousands of copies from his home for $10 postpaid (1325 El Corral Lane, Lake San Marcos, Calif. 92069).
One of Hall's ideas merely enacted a pun. For those who don't like hard puzzles, he invented the Soft Puzzle -- six oddly shaped pieces of sponge rubber that can be assembled to form a square. Though sponge rubber is anything but hard, Hall says the puzzle is exceedingly difficult to solve.

I got an early start the next morning. I knew my way out of the city because it was the same route I drove to work. But instead of turning onto the sidestreet that led to the office, I simply continued south on Rt 1. Although the maps show the roads as highways, they are really much more like two lane state roads here in the States, occassionally widening to three lanes to pass. The route south of Christchurch was flat and and straight and reminded me a bit of riding Rt 1 back home in North Florida.
At Rangitata, I turned right on Rt 79 and headed west towards the mountains. My first destination was Aoraki, aka Mount Cook. I was really glad that I had brought my gear. The asphalt roads are made from coarse gravel and you'd be shredded if you went down.
I rode 79 to the end where it intersects with Rt 8 and continued west towards Lake Tekapo.
In Lake Tekapo, I turned off onto Pioneer Drive, a little side street that paralleled the water and led me to the wonderfully quaint Church of the Good Shepherd. It appeared that a wedding was about to take place, but there were plenty of tourists around as well, so I decided to stop and take some pictures. The view through the alter windows offer magnificent views of the lake.
The waters of the lake flow into the Tekapo Canal which flows 27km to the Lake Pukaki powerhouse. I crossed the canal and continued down Rt 8 to Lake Pukaki where there was a large parking area at the powerhouse at the end of the lake. The photos record the water color accurately. It is turquoise blue, almost milky.
