Holy crap....that sucks.
I just replaced my battery in my '05 Chevy yesterday. It's got 150,000 miles on it now and started to crank slowly. The thing that really sucked was that I had to change it in the Autozone parking lot under a downpoor.
I wonder why yours is going through so many batteries.........

The No Wake Zone / Re: SUSPENDED« on: February 21, 2008, 02:20:52 PM »
did the other kid get the same punishment? usually, they make examples out of both of them so there is no "he/she started it".Yup same punishment. I guess it's a mandatory 5 day suspension for both parties involved no matter who started it.
The bigger kid started it by pushing my son into a locker. I guess he thought he was an easy target. Not so east come to find out...............
The No Wake Zone / Re: SUSPENDED« on: February 21, 2008, 12:33:00 PM »
Yeah thats what the principle said on the phone a little while ago...... Im sorry to inform you but we have to suspend your kid for VANDALISM WTF did she do
I got that phone call.
My 14 year old son got in a fight. He weighs 120 lbs and he beat up a kid that is about 2 inches taller and nearly 50 lbs heavier. He got a 5 day suspension as well.
He is a real mellow kid and it takes a lot to get him to fight. He's a brown belt in Tai Quan do and I think he's learned his "reservations" about fighting from taking the classes.

In the world, we have two kinds of movement: One is the movement towards Truth, powered by the Truth. The other is the movement when we see something in which we do not see the Truth, yet we see it as attractive. Does it not happen with us?
You see something, and you don't see the Truth in it, and yet you find it attractive.
To be devoted to the Truth means: "I will not give value to this attraction."
And you cannot use this as a formula or a principle. Not giving value to something, is something very intrinsic, it happens. It happens when you see that, that which you are pursuing, is something that you have been pursuing relentlessly since long, since centuries, since the beginning of time. And it has only given you suffering. And then your steps freeze. Then you do not want to proceed. Then you see that this particular chase is no different from the chase of yesterday, which was in its turn no different from the chase of day before yesterday. And all these chases have only resulted in a situation where you need to chase more and more.
Man is not born to adjust and compromise and somehow tolerate his seventy, eighty years and then at the end of the journey say, "Thank God the seventy years are over. It was a nightmare, glad, I am out of it. Death is such a nice thing."
When you die at eighty, you say, "Mercifully I am out of it."

Hi Lovers,
It's been a few days but I'm back!!
'Fashion Nova' for those that haven't yet come across the site, is a fast fashion online store. The girl boss website is marketed at those with curves for days and envy the fashion trends of the Kardashians. Speaking as someone who due to my 5,3 build and hourglass figure struggles to find jeans that fit, I can safely say that 'FashionNova.com' is a Godsend!
I have shopped on 'Fashion Nova' a few times now and find that although it can be hit or miss
9 times out of 10 it's a hit!
I feel with these kinds of sites it is always better to have no expectations and then be pleasantly surprised.
I mean look at these shoes!!
I always find with fast fashion websites, stick to your basics like cute tops, accessories – things that generally should fit and then maybe order one pair of pants to suss the sizing.
Living in Australia the shipping situation is rarely amazing, my orders taking approximately 10 days to arrive.
But then again, we aren't buying channel now are we?
Happy shopping!!

Editorial by Timothy Ko
Being a father to two girls is rewarding and challenging. There have been many conversations with my five-year-old (pictured) in which she would answer my questions with quick, short replies versus engaging in conversation. I would ask how her day went, about Spanish or soccer class, and the response would always be similar. At one point, I wondered if our conversations would always be as short as "No," "Fine" and "Uh-huh."
I tried negotiating with desserts or toys, but nothing worked. I soon became frustrated that I could not bridge the communication gap with her and feared that we might never enjoy meaningful conversations.

Mercy Foundation Purchases New High-Tech Wheelchairs
May 25, 2015 01:26PM
● By MED Magazine
Mercy Medical Center recently partnered with Stryker Medical, a leading manufacturer of patient care equipment, to outfit their facility with the most advanced technology in wheelchairs. Mercy is the only medical facility in the region to offer the new state-of-the-art wheelchairs.
The new patient-designed transport chair alleviates common issues with wheelchairs and sets a new standard in caring for and transporting patients. The chairs were designed by engineer Michael Graves who had studied the more traditional wheelchair design prior to being paralyzed in an accident. At first glance, the most noticeable difference is the ergonomic shape of the new chairs, with uninhibited patient access allowing the attached legs to swing away. The chair also has the ability to accommodate a weight capacity of 500 lbs.
"The hand grips and wheel design will help eliminate caregiver injuries due to back strain from pushing and pulling," said Tracy Larson, Mercy VP of Patient Care Services/CNO. "Most importantly, these chairs are safer for the patient."
Other features and benefits are flip-up footrests, one-touch central brakes, backsmart push handles, and big wheel maneuverability that makes steering and cornering easier.
"The Mercy Foundation is pleased to support our care givers and patients with these new wheelchairs which will provide safer transport for both groups. These chairs are ergonomically correct and easy to use, reducing the risk of injury for both our colleagues and our patients," said Lea Greathouse, Executive Director of the Mercy Medical Center Foundation.

Greenlight for girls holds one-day girl-focused events to demonstrate the fun in math, science, engineering and technology through hands-on workshops and activities run by role-models in STEM fields. These are open to the local community with particular focus to reach girls in less advantaged communities. The money raised would provide funding for transport, nutrition, workshop materials, access to lab & computer equipment so that any girl may participate regardless of their economic situation.
Sometimes all you need in life is a special person to encourage you to pursue your dreams. Not everyone has this role model in their lives or the means to the education needed to get there. There are so few women that take up science careers but they make up more than half of the world's population. Why? We asked girls, "Why do you think women don't go into the sciences?" They had so many answers; but, one stood out. "They hadn't experienced it." That's what we are here to do for them.
We need to be able to reach the girls that can't be reached due to lack of funding, role models and opportunity. Our objective is to create a learning environment that underlines the importance of math and science but also demonstrates how fun it can be. We bring together girls and role models in the STEM fields and inspire confidence in their abilities and in their dreams. We want them to believe that anything is possible.
In a follow-up survey to the event, a full 94% of girls who attended Greenlight@Brussels Day 2011 said the event encouraged them to pursue science subjects, and this from some who are not currently enrolled in science studies. Our events have already demonstrated a positive impact to inspire girls all around the world from every economic background. This project would enable us to extend these positive effects to 500 more girls.

Borrego Springs in San Diego County, California, is a small town surrounded by 600,000 acres of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. The town's year-round population of about 3,500 doubles during the winter months with an influx of seasonal residents and visitors. The area is revered worldwide for its magnificent desert wildflowers that bloom from February through April and is recognized as a designated "international dark sky" area, making it a popular destination for astronomers. Because of the town's strict outdoor lighting ordinances, there are no stop lights in town and other lighting is kept to a minimum to protect the views of the night sky.
The Tuxpan Port Terminal (TPT) project recently received two important CEMEX Building Awards for its sustainable approach to infrastructure design and construction. Tuxpan is located on the Atlantic coast of Mexico, about 150 miles from Mexico City, in between the ports of Veracruz and Altamira. In planning and designing TPT, BergerABAM used an innovative combination of deep soil mixing; land- and marine-based pile installation; and precast, prestressed concrete, to enable the development of a state-of-the-art container terminal in an environmentally sensitive and geotechnically unstable area.

5 Ways to Celebrate Finance and Accounting Appreciation Week
IOFM, the Institute of Finance and Management, has expanded Accounts Payable Appreciation Week to include all of finance and accounting. The newly dubbed Finance and Accounting Appreciation Week (October 22-26, 2018) continues the tradition of celebrating one of the most forgotten back-office operations, one of the most critical to the success of the business.
A business isn't really a business without the checks and balances of finance. So, there's reason to appreciate those who make the numbers work and keep the money moving. And while many might celebrate Finance and Accounting Appreciation Week with wine and cheese or cupcakes, most CFOs and Controllers would likely rather celebrate with something that truly matters to them: cold, hard, measurable efficiency.
To that end, here are 5 fiscally-responsible ways to celebrate!
Eliminate busy work
Any task that can remove human hands from being involved how money moves is now destined for automation. There's too much risk to subjecting finances to human error. But the act of moving money around is also busy work. Paying suppliers, for example, is operational spending for the process of spending. From vendor onboarding to keying in invoices to cutting checks, HR costs at this level eat into productivity, auditability, and profitability. Instead, use those valuable resources on more constructive and strategic efforts and leave the busy work to the machines.
Speed financial close and reporting
How valuable would it be to get to a financial close faster? What if you could cut that time by half? Even earning back three or four days could lead to visibility that can inform decisions and planning efforts for the next quarter, giving you more time to breathe and think about what adjustments and preparations you could make.
Cross-Border payments challenging you? Here's what we've learned.
Reduce payment errors
How much do you think it takes to recover from a supplier payment error? Well, if you don't know about it, your supplier certainly will. If you do know about it (a returned check, a wire transfer failure, etc.), it opens up a process around deciphering and investigating the error, notifying the supplier, working with the bank to recover funds, and so on. For a cross-border payment, it gets even trickier. You're looking at delays in time zones, language hurdles, and repayment. All this takes your team resources away from more valuable work and derails them from the flow of business.
Lock down accounting systems
Who approved that invoice? Who approved that payment? Who has access to make a payment? Who has access to payment bank details? A controller or CFO is a reliable, trustworthy corporate officer, but shouldn't payables-related activity be auditable for everyone in the organization? Keeping up your financial guard is critical to the part of the business that releases funds.
Strengthen vendor relationships
Are there any upcoming vendor contracts up for renewal? Are there opportunities to get discounts or extend net payment terms with suppliers? Are there any activities (e.g. expansion, entering new markets, new lines of business) that vendors can help accelerate? How do you get on their good side? Beyond just paying more, paying effectively can be an excellent bridge to build with suppliers. Simply streamlining the onboarding efforts, automating payment notifications, and offering "on-the-fly" early payment options can endear you to your supply chain.

WILMINGTON — Jeep lovers and music jammers will get their fill this weekend at the annual Jeep Jam, which moves to the Clinton County Fairgrounds Saturday and Sunday after a shiny downtown kickoff Friday night.
Friday's monthly Main Street Wilmington Third Friday Party at the Mural is set for 5:30-10 p.m. at Mulberry and Main downtown.
Enjoy food truck cuisine and drinks and live music from Endive while wandering through downtown to check out the hundreds of Jeeps at the Show & Shine.
Endive takes the stage at 6:30 p.m. For more info visit mainstreetwilmington.com or visit the Facebook page of Main Street Wilmington.
On Saturday the Jeep Jam officially gets underway at the fairgrounds.
The one-of-a-kind event is 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday.
Jeep Jam offers Jeep owners and spectators a great weekend of family fun along with safe and responsible off-roading. There will be obstacle courses, trails and some of the largest off-road vendors in the country.
On Saturday and Sunday, admission for spectators is $5; 13 & under free.
The fairgrounds will be rockin' Southern-style Saturday night with Molly Hatchet and Moccasin Creek in concert.
Moccasin Creek will take the stage at 7 p.m. According to the band's website: "No softly crooning southern gentleman here, just a good ole boys from the scrubs of Palatka, Florida.
"Now residing in Tennessee, Moccasin Creek is becoming a household name. This is the real south and it isn't pretty. Dismantling the current crop of gentlemen and sweethearts, The Creek feeds the intense craving for hard-lined lyrics depicting hard-lived lives and true southern lifestyles."
Molly Hatchet, which will take the stage around 9 p.m., is on its 40th Anniversary World Tour.
According to the group, "Molly Hatchet's tradition keeps developing the common bond of southern rockers and keeps our southern-style of music alive and well. Rest assured, Molly Hatchet is a band, that after 40 years, is always workin' hard, playin' tough, livin' fast, and still Flirtin' with Disaster!"
The band is best know for its 1979 single and album of the same name "Flirtin' with Disaster." The album went double-platinum.
Their first album, 1978s "Molly Hatchet", as well as the "Flirtin' with Disaster" follow-up "Beatin' the Odds" in 1980 each went platinum.

U.S. markswoman becomes first to medal in five straight Olympics
Mon., July 30, 2012
LONDON – Contrary to popular belief at these London Olympics, Kim Rhode did not fire a shot heard 'round the world Sunday. She fired 99.
America's Annie Oakley from Monrovia, Calif., who entered Sunday's women's skeet competition amid as much attention on a U.S. shooter as there has been since Roy Rogers, demolished the field. Watching her perform at the Royal Artillery Barracks felt a little like the days when Tiger Woods got ahead in a golf tournament and the other guys became puddles around him.
Rhode had come to these Olympics as a prominent member of the pre-show hype. That's not the norm for a shooter. But when you start winning medals as a 16-year-old at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, and have won at least one in every ensuing Games, even NBC takes notice.
A description of the record she was pursuing had been typed and broadcast and echoed thousands of times in the run-up to London. A medal for Rhode, any medal, would make her the first U.S. Olympic athlete to win at least one in an individual sport in five consecutive Games. She had won gold in Atlanta, Athens and now here, to go with bronze in Sydney and silver in Beijing.
That's impressive, but if you had watched Rhode shoot over the years, what happened Sunday was pretty much a given. She has eyes that can spot a squirrel in a tree half a mile away. She doesn't ruffle, doesn't flinch, doesn't ever, for lack of a better term, take her eyes off the target.
"I've been like this since I was a kid," she said afterward. "I can remember, standing in front of a TV set, never even seeing people walking in front of me, just locked on the movie I was watching."
Those pro golfers who have such trouble closing the deal on Sundays ought to hire her for anti-choke lessons.
Under something considered the ultimate pressure, she broke the first 50 targets during the preliminaries and broke the next six in the semifinals before missing. Then she ran off the next 43, including all 25 in the pressure-packed final.
Asked about the miss, she didn't blink.
"Station five," she said. "Low house single. No reason. I just missed."
The 74 of 75 was a world record and the 99 of 100 tied a world record, of which Rhode was one of the incumbent holders. She won by eight targets, or the equivalent of Usain Bolt winning the 100 meters by two seconds.
Under pressure, others droop. Rhode dazzles. She is becoming one of those certainties in life - death, taxes and Kim Rhode hitting clay targets.
When she hit the final target, the big scoreboard that looms over the shooters as they march from station to station showed a field of competitors with blanks for each miss scattered after their names. Only silver medalist Wei Ning of China had hung tough, with only two misses. Rhode's scoreboard, like her ability with a gun, was flawless, all 25 squares filled.
While she waited for a shoot-off for the bronze medal, won by Danka Bartekova of Slovakia, she quietly wandered toward the spectator bleachers, where she met her father and coach, Richard. There was a hug and the perfect brief exchange of emotion.
"I told her I was proud of her," Richard said, "and she said, 'I love you, Dad.' '
Rhode is a fascination on many levels. Besides shooting as many as four flats a day – 250 rounds to a flat – she scuba dives, skis and collects old children's books and vintage cars. She restores the cars.
"Just before I came here, I bought a 1928 Model A Roadster," she said, adding that this one was mint enough for her to drive and not need to fix up, unlike her 13 others.
Her ability to remain calm while others tear their hair out was demonstrated in the hoops she jumped through just to get here. The airlines canceled her flight from LAX on two consecutive days; that was after her poodle ate her airline ticket.
"I know how that sounds," she said, "but it really happened."
Then her husband, Mike Harryman, lost his passport.
Even weather doesn't shake her. She had to go through early rounds in intermittent drizzle, and said afterward, "My dad told me I might have to perform well sometime in rain. He was right."
In the afternoon, for the 25-shot final, the clouds parted as if courting majesty.
Now, the only question remaining is how much longer Rhode, 33, would continue competing, a question answered clearly by Richard Rhode.
"The oldest Olympic medalist was a shooter, I think," he said. "He won a medal when he was 72."

Using maths to mix the perfect perfume
Researchers use online data and network analysis to find the best blend of scents. Mark Bruer reports.
Scientists have used complex mathematical analysis – rather than their noses – to pin down the ingredients for a perfume that smells of success.
Not that they intend getting up the nose of the perfume industry by producing it themselves. Their formula is a suggestion derived from a study of more than 10,000 perfumes aimed at finding out what scents get the best customer responses.
The approach taken by physicists Vaiva Vasiliauskaite and Tim Evans from the Imperial College London, UK, is a novel one for the perfume business.
Perfumes are created by mixing "notes" – individual scents such as jasmine and apple – into combinations called "accords".
Traditionally, the work of composing perfumes has been a job for "the Nose", an expert with the knowledge of accords and notes, their volatilities, odour longevities and other attributes important in perfume making.
This expertise is typically acquired over many years of training and trials of many different combinations of naturally occurring oils and chemical molecules. It's been that way since the earliest perfumes were recorded in ancient Mesopotamia.
But this is the Internet Age, and so Vasiliauskaite and Evans applied a specialised mathematical tool known as complex network analysis to an online database of perfumes, including manufacturers' descriptions, customer ratings and sales data.
Their first finding was that the popularity of perfumes did not seem to be determined by price or age.
"This motivates us to look at the ingredients, using network methods, to see if these can throw light on what makes a successful perfume," the researchers write in the journal PLOS ONE.
They found that the 10,599 perfumes in the database used 1047 different notes. While the notes could be identified from the manufacturers' descriptions, the exact volumes of each note in a perfume remains a commercial secret.
Intriguingly, there was a discrepancy between the most-used notes and those which drew the best ratings from customers.
The most over-represented notes were (in order) musk, jasmine, bergamot, sandalwood and amber. But the notes that appeared to drive up customer ratings most effectively were (in order) anise, orris root, orchid, bamboo and carnation.
Similarly, the most common accords, such as geranium and lavender, were not the ones with the strongest customer response. Lesser-used accords such as jasmine and mint, or musk, vetiver and vanilla, drove much more positive perfume ratings.
"Our results suggest these accords should be more popular than they currently are and that they deserve more attention in the future," the researchers write.
"Our work provides insights into factors that play a role in the success of perfumes. It also sets up a framework for a statistical analysis of fragrances based on simple properties and customer reviews.
"It could be a beneficial tool for systematic ingredient selection and act as an artificial Nose."

Demerit Point Increase For Using Your Mobile Phone While Driving
If you're caught during double demerits, you'll lose 10 points.
Drivers who illegally use a mobile phone on New South Wales roads will be penalised an extra demerit point from Monday onward.
The demerit point fine will be increased from four to five, meaning that drivers who break the law during double demerits will lose a total of 10 points.
And while most people would know that it's illegal to use a phone to text while driving -- and licenced drivers should definitely know this -- it's worth remembering that its also illegal to use social media and take photos, even while stopped at a red light.

In 2017, NSW Police Minister Troy Grant was fined $325 for taking a photo of sheep with his mobile phone while behind the wheel of a car, after posting the photo to social media.
"When you do the wrong thing and it's brought to your attention, you've gotta to the right thing and cop it on the chin like everyone else," he told 2GB.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
It's also illegal to hold your phone in any way, including by resting it in your lap.
However, fully licenced drivers are legally allowed to make and receive phone calls, use the audio function to play music, and use navigation apps, but only if the phone is fixed to the car without obscuring the drivers view, or can be operated without touching any part of it.

"Remember: legal use of mobile phones can also be detracting," the Road Safety website said.
"Consider if it is important and the demands of the traffic before using your mobile.
"The safest option is often to wait until you are parked out of the line of traffic."
When is it illegal to use your phone while driving?
- Texting or audio texting
- Emailing
- Using social media
- Taking photos
- Video messaging
- Holding your phone in any way (in hand, on lap, between shoulder and ear). Drivers are only allowed to hold a phone to pass it to a passenger
It comes after a driver allegedly intoxicated and using a mobile phone hit a family on an evening stroll in Kellyville.
The mum and a four-year-old girl are fighting for their lives in hospital, while the 50-year-old driver has been charged.

In NSW alone, a total of 236 car crashes in a period of four years were caused by drivers using mobile phones, but due to under-reporting its believed the real figure could be much higher.
Seven of those crashes were fatal. Data shows that by taking your eye off the road for longer than two seconds doubles your risk of a crash.
"A short lapse of concentration can have lifelong consequences."

Cameroon: proud host of maiden Model UN Conference, SAIMUN.
Under the auspices of Cameroon's Ministry of Youth Affairs and Civic Education (MINJEC), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and, National Youth Council (NYC) – Cameroon's capital, Yaoundé was the seat of the first edition of a Model United Nations (MUN) Conference in Cameroon, dubbed Sub-Saharan International Model United Nations (SAIMUN) Conference.
The event which came up barely 3 days after the end-of-visit to Cameroon of former Director of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), turned Secretary General of United Nations (UN) – António Guterres: was held under the theme, 'from crisis to crisis, terrorism and refugee crisis in Europe and Africa.'
At the opening ceremony, OKORO Roseline, Deputy Representative of UNHCR Cameroon, said, following the invitation of SAIMUN Cameroon, UNHCR being the mandated agency that takes care of refugees had to honour the call, since this year's theme dealt with the plight of refugees.
'We are happy that the youths – not just Cameroonian youths – are coming together…to take interest in issues like forced displacement, so that at this level in their career growth, they are able to take cognizance of these issues and contribute in their own way to resolving the recurrent and thorny issues of displacement', she avowed.
'We are happy that the youths are interested, involved, and have invested a lot by coming from different African countries', she went on.
'We are glad that Cameroon is standing among its peers…to address these critical issues, in the hope of finding long-lasting solutions. The fact that the youths are involved and I pray they continue being interested not only to talk about it, but to proactively find ways and means to putting an end to this longstanding crisis situation', she emphasized.
Delegates & other officials at the opening ceremony
Meanwhile, the brain behind SAIMUN Cameroon, Sophie MONONO, was equally visibly confident and categorical about the indispensability and timeliness of the conference.
'We want to open young students and professionals to the UN System. So we bring them together to simulate the UN under a specific topic', she stated.
'There is no lecture. The Delegates represent and defend different African countries…like in a real UN Conference. And at the end of the Conference, Delegates will come up with resolutions that would be signed and sent to the UN', she affirmed.
Quizzed on the choice of the topic, she said, 'we thought of terrorism because of what is happening in Africa, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa…and to ask what we as youths can contribute to curb terrorism and make sure youths are not radicalized.'
Brainstorming sessions in the UNHCR Committee
The event which ran from 30th October to 1st November, 2017, brought together dozens of Youth Delegates from miscellaneous fields of life, from 4 different African countries (including Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, and Cameroon) that were broadly divided into 2 Committees, to brainstorm on topical issues related to this year's theme.
In a bit to ascertain how armed-violence and terrorism were related to human rights, good governance, security, and development in Africa and beyond, the General Assembly, Disarmament and International Security Committee (GA DISEC) on the one hand insightfully analysed matters related to the regulation and control of cross-border activities and deals – especially armed violence (which paves the way for terrorism) – through the movement of people and goods, considered very vital in ensuring peace, stability, security, and effective integration in Africa; while the UNHCR Committee on its part had deep-seated deliberations on contemporary issues surrounding the impact of conflict on migrants in Africa in particular, and the whole at large – like Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), asylum seekers, and refugees – in addition to the status and reintegration of the same.
Likewise, homage was paid to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while networking sessions, extra-curricular and recreational outdoor hangouts, and more, spiced the Conference.
Before the Conference was adjourned on 1st November, some resolutions on the specific focal points of the different Committees were arrived at by the same – which resolutions would be forwarded to the UN, for consideration.
The closing ceremony marked issuance of certificates of participation to all Delegates, and award of prizes to some Delegates of each Committee, categorized as follows – Best Position Paper, Best Delegate (in terms of diplomatic excellence), and Honourable Mention (for those predicted to most-likely become future Diplomats).
Cursory view of some fun moments during the closing ceremony
Visibly exhilarated by the level of accomplishment, the Delegates went ahead to divulge their delight, for having partaken in such a groundbreaking moment.
Makuru Kellen, female Delegate from Uganda who represented South Sudan in the UNHCR Committee, and also received one of the Honourable Mention awards for the same Committee, disclosed that the reason she chose South Sudan was because of the influx of Refugees into Uganda, after the violence erupted in South Sudan in yester years.
'I was hoping to give my views and perspectives, and likely the Model United Nations (MUN) provided the opportunity of doing so in third person', she confessed.
'It's been a very wonderful experience, and I'm very certain that all the delegates has learned something….The specific thing I learned was the moderation of a MUN Conference, the way the proceedings were carried out, how to become diplomatic, improving on our self-personality in public speaking, relations, and networking', she corroborated.
While on her part, Nigerian-born female delegate and representative of Rwanda in GA DISEC, Princess Ibiene George, who grabbed home the Best Delegate award for that Committee, said, 'it was a very impactful experience for me', she said.
'Representing Rwanda, a country which suffered massive genocide in 1994, I was in a position to discuss why Rwanda at this point is not inflicted with terrorism, compared to other countries which had not had such an experience', Princess confessed.
'I was able to highlight the measures that Rwanda had put in place on regional and international levels in collaboration with the UN, AU, and other sub-regional bodies, to ensure protection against terrorism', she revealed.
'It is on record that Rwanda is one of the safest countries in Africa. From SAIMUN, I learned about other countries, met people from different walks of life and countries, and it was an opportunity to experience what it feels like to be a member of the UN, to deliberate on issues, and draft resolutions', she went on.
'We also learned the terms used at the UN and to be ready for leadership that will definitely be in our hands tomorrow. So, I would say that, moving forward in Africa, we are ready to hold-on to the responsibilities at the UN. I'm grateful for such an experience, and encourage that it goes on in Africa, and across borders', Princess concluded.
As well, Nigerian-born Kihende Ifeoluwa Damilola, who resides in Ghana, and served during the Conference as Co-Chair for GA DISEC, was visibly upbeat at the end.
'As Co-Chair, I ensured: the Rules of Procedure (RoP) were followed, that the Committee sessions went-on smoothly, the debates were highly in order, discussions were properly channeled, and that resolutions drafted were not only good-looking, but were realistic and innovative', he enlightened.
'Despite the challenges that SAIMUN Cameroon had in organizing this Conference for their very first time, my joy is that the youth delegates that came were impacted with the specific topics that were discussed in their Committees…. Since I stepped my feet on Cameroon soil, it's been a good encounter with me', he assured.
'What I've learned from Cameroon is the way and manner in which they accommodate visitors…. I've been treated well, and I pray that God continues to protect and bless every Cameroonian…. I also learned a lot of humility, because I see that Cameroonians are very humble', he confided.
'I also tasted some Cameroonian foods, like Ndolé, which were really good. After identifying with Cameroonians, I learned many things, including basic French Language. The experience has been good and I'll love to come to Cameroon again at the slightest possible chance', he concluded.
Certificates of participation & meritorious awards at closing ceremony, etc.
It must be reiterated that this budding edition could not have been more thoughtful and timely, given that its focus on refugees dovetailed with today's global context of violent extremism and terrorism that have left a huge contingent of innocent citizens either internally-displaced in their countries of origin, or seeking refuge in neighbouring countries, thus exacerbating the humanitarian crises the world over. Going by UNHCR Global Trends, a whooping 65.3 million people, or one in every 113, were displaced from their homes by conflict and persecution in 2015; with an average of 24 people forced to flee each minute in 2015, four times more than a decade earlier, when 6 people fled every 60 seconds – this is pretty nerve-wracking. Besides, convening and engaging Africa's future decision makers – the youths, to seek solutions to present-day problems plaguing especially Africa, not only increases their consciousness about the precarious nature of the prevailing state of affairs, but equally challenges them to seek innovative and better leadership approaches to redressing the problems which Africa faces: hence empowering them to become proactive, accountable and responsible leaders in future.

No Fear in Love
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. 1 John 4:18
God has perfect love to give. And it is free.
The creator of all wants to love me perfectly. I delight in that love. There is joy and peace in that love.
It is a love that is consistent – the same yesterday, today and forever.
With a word God spoke creation into being. He has spoken love over me and will call out to the things I need in my life – peace, joy, forgiveness, provision.
He is in everything around me. I rejoice and I share everything with Him. Like the treasures my boys found on the beach and brought to me in their tiny hands. A gift of simple love to their mom.
So I take the treasures of my life and bring them to God as a gift. God gave me my boys and now I give them back to Him as the treasures they have become.
And I get to share the joy with Jesus because after all, they are His kids in the first place. They are simply His gift to me and I treasure the fact He shared them with me.
Bless you today. I pray you will share everything with Him. Your joys, your pains, your sadness, your grief, your excitement are all gifts to Him.
He looks your way today and says "Share it with Me."
God Bless Your Heart
The idea for this blog came from the God Calling devotional by AJ Russell and published by Barbour Publishing

Business With Style Episode 13: Are you programmed to sell?
Are you successful in sales? Can you look at yourself in the mirror, and honestly say "I'm a sales champion?" If the answer is NO, despite all the efforts, the sales training and the many years spent working in sales, the reason is likely to lie within your subconscious mind which is not programmed to sell. As explained by biologist, former Stanford's researcher and best-selling author Bruce Lipton, 95% of our life is driven by our subconscious mind, while only 5% depends on our conscious mind. To say it with him: " Until you own that you're operating from your subconscious mind 95% of the time you cannot go to the next level"

Sonax Antifreeze & Clear View Concentrate to yield top scores in GTÜ test
Together with the Auto Club Europa (ACE), the Society for Technical Inspection (GTÜ) compared ten windscreen cleaners for the winter – five concentrates and five ready-to-use mixtures. Test winner was Sonax Antifreeze & Clear View Concentrate achieving the overall rating "highly recommended". Other products had to accept considerable deductions of points. Particularly among the five "conditionally recommended" windscreen cleaners the testers found fault with the inferior cleaning performance, odour nuisances and some misleading statements on the frost protection.
The cleaners were tested under winter conditions in the temperature-controlled test stand. Sonax Antifreeze & Clear View performed best in removing the mixture of soot, silicone oil and anionic surfactants: two wipe cycles with five washer activations each were enough for the Sonax product to clean the windscreen. The worst competitive products could not complete this task with as many as ten cycles, which also has an impact on the costs per cleaning process: with nineteen cents Sonax is ahead of all competitors although not being among the cheapest products when looking at the price per litre.
The GTÜ experts also criticised some of the instructions: particularly the application area details given on the concentrates up to minus sixty degrees Celsius suggested that they could be used undiluted. But this is not recommended as the concentrates can only remove dirt on the windscreen without leaving residue or streaks when mixed with water. The product's cleaning power is much more important than the maximum frost protection and should be geared to temperatures around freezing point – i.e. from plus ten to minus ten degrees Celsius. For extremely cold weather, the test winner's mixing chart includes dosages to achieve frost protection of up to minus thirty degrees Celsius.

Population increase and decrease
Here's a question...
In TM 1-1 the population die off is listed as 95% following the nuclear strikes. Ok, seems a reasonable percentage with the strikes and the resulting disruption that a TEOTWAWKI scenario.
So the question is, has anybody sat down and figured out a reasonable birthrate for the aftermath? Some of the online sources have a percentage as high as 50% for a sustainable birthrate, which seems to be very unlikely. I've tried plugging various historical birthrates and can't find one that seems logical based on a total disruption of society.
So any help is greatly appreciated!
The reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis.
From historical trends as determined from world population numbers. Using world population numbers eliminates immigration as a factor in the growth of an area or a country. Only births minus deaths (from all causes - war, disease, etc.) determines the growth rate.
It is estimated that the total polulation of the world reached one billion in 1800. By 1927 the world reached two billion. This was a time where there was some pre-industrial farming, the establishment of industrialized processing of food, and the beginnings of industrailized farming with the steam tractor on the Great Plains of the US. I determined that this growth rate was about 0.55% for the time period.
From 1927 to 1987, a time of great advances in farming, industrial processes, medicine, refrigeration and freezing of foods on a industrial scale and appliances for the consumer, the population increased from two billion to five billion. This required a growth rate of 1.52% to achieve.
The growth rate of 0.9% is approximately the same rate of growth of the world population from 1800 to 1987.
Low growth = 0.3% (Three tenths of one percent)
Slow growth = 0.6%
Modest growth = 0.9%
Late 19th to early 20th = 1.2%
Mid 20th to late 20th = 1.5%
IMO, the high rate for mid to late 20th is primarily due to more clean food and water plus more and better drugs. Without modern medicine, no entity should achieve 1.5% growth rate.
I started a thread a few years ago that asked the same question, and somewhere I have an EXCEL file that showed my estimates of population for each year broken down by urban, suburban, and rural. I was trying to work out migration rates between the three types of area when I stopped.
You're going to see a population decline that will last decades, as people who survived the initial attacks die to starvation and medical problems stemming from the lack of medications and care. Initial populations will largely flee to rural areas where there was less damage and more remaining resources, but will gradually return to towns or create new ones for enhanced security against the strengthening post-apocalyptic violence.
Growth rates will probably not get above 1% in any given year, given all the problems.
Sorry I'm late with this, but thanks for the info!
The reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis.
As part of my research into a larger Free State, ran some interesting numbers…
The states that make up the larger Free State are listed below, followed by three sets of numbers; the population as of the 2000 Census/remaining population following the 95% die off/ the new population with a 0.8% growth rate and 150 years of growth.
Alabama: 4,447,100//222,355//489,181
Georgia: 8,186,453//409,323//900,511
Maryland: 5,296,486//264,824//582,613
New York: 18,976,457//948,823//2,087,410
North Carolina: 8,049,313//402.466//885,425
Pennsylvania: 12,281,054//614,053//1,350,917
South Carolina: 4,012,012//200,601//441,322
Tennessee: 5,689,283//284,464//625,821
Vermont: 608,827//30,441//66,970
West Virginia: 1,808,344//90,417//198,917
The "new" population totals include only projected birth rates, and do not account for the influx of slaves.
Based on this, IMHO, I truly don't see Kentucky as the center of the Free State, more likely Pennsylvania/New York would be the new center, with larger populations, access to minerals, recovered technology and the extensive university system in those two states.
The reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis.
A couple of points
New York (and the North East in general) are more urbanized than Kentucky and Tennessee. I can see their death rate being HIGHER than 95%.
Recovery in the "canon" KFS may be better than you are assuming. They have had a fairly stable political and economic system for over a century and their medical/education system is good enough to train Emdees. I suspect that the population would be nearer 2 million than the approximately 1 million that you show for Kentucky/Tennessee

River Valley is a locality situated in central Singapore. It serves various purposes from commercial developments, to residential complexes, all the way to leisurely facilities. River Valley derives its name from its location which is between the Earl Canning Hill and Pearl's Hill.
Some History of River Vallery
With the arrival of the British in 1819, the River Valley area was then covered by a large marsh and forest overgrowth. Then, by the 1830s the Gambier plantations were what was prevailing in this area. Although not completely certain about the timing of the development of the River Valley Road, newspaper reports published in 1842 depict that the road existed since 1841. Yet so, by 1843, the area was still mostly dense jungle and the gambier plantations.
The first residential developments
In River Valley, one of the biggest estates belonged to the one Thomas Oxley. Mr. Oxley was a senior surgeon in the Straits Settlements. Oxley had purchased this land from this East India Company for 2,342 rupees.
The Pavilion was once the Government House until the Straits Settlement was transferred to the Colonial Office in London in the year 1867. It was once also the residence of Catchick Moses, an Armenian businessman who established the Straits Times and the newspaper known as the Singapore Journal of Commerce.
In the year 1919, a Jewish businessman by the name of Manasseh Meyer purchased the Pavilion at an auction. Meyer had also bought the Killiney House in 1890, after which he renamed it to Belle View, which was later demolished in the 1980s to create room for private developments. Meyer had also developed a private synagogue in 1905 on the very grounds of his Oxley Rise residence and named it the Chesed-El Synagogue. This synagogue is still intact and has also been gazetted as a national monument.
By the 1850s the estate had been divided and sold off to Chinese businessmen. By the 1880s, the same area had turned into a middle-class residential area comprising of bungalows and terrace houses.
Then by 1880, other roads were built. These roads were; the Devonshire Road, St. Thomas Walk, Dublin Road, Somerset Road, Exeter Road, Eber Road, Oxley Road and Lloyd Road.
Fast forward to the future, River Valley began redeveloping in the 1960s with the first act being the cleaning up of the Singapore River which was polluted. Then by 1983, the lighter companies were relocated away from the banks of the river. Along with then, the squatter and hawkers were also sent off. After this, a major clean-up operation was implemented.
Political Landmarks
The Government Hill, also known as Bukit Larangan and Fort Canning Hill, was believed to be the residence and burial place of the great Malay kings of Temasek during the 14th century. With the arrival of the British, the hill was cleared, and the first Government house was established.
During the 1950s and the 1960s two places of interest were constructed at the base of Fort Canning Hill by the Municipal Council. These were, the National theatre and the Van Kleef Aquarium. The Van Kleef Aquarium was Singapore's first public aquarium and was opened in 1955 but had to be closed down in 1996 after several efforts at redevelopment.
The Old Hill Street Police Station was constructed in 1934. This six-storeyed building was initially used as a police station and barracks for the polices' families up until the 1980s, after which they had to move out. Later on, the building was taken over by various government departments and ministries and was also gazetted a national monument in 1998.
The first Chinese Secondary school was established by the Government and named the River Valley High School. It was first called the Singapore Government Chinese Middle School when it was first constructed in 1956. Since parents were reluctant in sending their children to a Chinese-Medium school, the school changed its name to River Valley High School in 1980.
The very first elections were held in 1954 and River Valley was a part of the Calmhill constituency. Then, it made its debut as a private electoral constituency in the year 1959 during the general elections. Until 1988, River Valley remained a single-member electoral constituency, after which the ward was scrapped.

Why Test?
On a worldwide basis there are a number of testing standards. Each company that sells hoods will tell you that their hoods performs well accordingly to ASHRAE 110 or EN 14175 or some other test standard. But the reality is that these tests are usually done in test labs with near perfect conditions. So, this test is just confirming that the fume hood is well designed, but that is not an indication of how that hood will perform in your lab. Each lab is different as is each Laboratory Ventilation System.
But your lab is different. Laboratory ventilation systems are very complex and dynamic. The conditions are changing all the time. What you are actually testing is not just the hood, but how the hood performs in your lab. Studies on a global basis show that when testing installed fume hoods are tested, that 50% to 70% are not functioning safely.
That means that hood is losing containment and allowing fugitive contaminates to escape into the lab. This pollutes the air and makes it unhealthy for the occupants.
But it is not just the users that suffer, these pollutants damage lab equipment and can even corrupt the tests being performed.
The only way to know that your fume hoods are safe is to test them.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to set us free from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be all glory forever and ever.
Friends in Christ, over the last several months we have been looking in-depth at what exactly goes into making a congregation in a rural setting vital; how do these churches discover hope for the future of their ministry in an ever changing world? We have explored the aspects of congregation vitality: Prayer, Worship, Making Disciples, Evangelism, Caring Ministries, and Leadership. We have been following the outline laid out for us in the book Discovering Hope: Building Vitality in Rural Congregations by David Poling-Goldenne and L. Shannon Jung.
However, there is one aspect of building a vital congregation in the rural setting that we have yet to explore; the final chapter of their book entitled Context: Discovering the Gift of Place.
In the world of Real Estate the motto is, "Location, Location, Location." When it comes to these different aspects of building a vital rural congregation, I would say that this motto also applies, and I would say this is the point Poling-Goldenne and Jung were making in their final chapter as well. "A key to effective ministry is acknowledging, celebrating, and using the gifts of a congregation's place and its people" (96). All of this is to say that none of those other aspects matter unless a congregation is in tune with its people, and its surrounding area; that is the context of the congregation. To put it even more simply, what works for a vital congregation in Fargo is not going to necessarily work in Jamestown; and what works for a vital congregation in Jamestown is not necessarily going to translate to Medina and/or Streeter. Each church in these different contexts are going to have to find ways that work for their own context in these areas of building a vital congregation.
In this last chapter of Poling-Goldenne and Jung's book, the autors list off four different types of contexts in which congregations that identify themselves as "rural" fall into, according to Canadian sociologist R. Alex Sim's 1988 book Land and Community. Those categories are: Ribbonville, Agraville, Might-have-been-ville, and Fairview. Poling-Goldenne and Jung take this one step further and add one more context of their own to this list: Countryville. Each one of these contexts have their own gifts and drawbacks that are unique to them that the congregations in these contexts have to figure out and overcome if needed. Each one has their own unique set of aspects within the categories that we have discussed over the last several months that work for them that will give them hope for the future in making them a vital rural congregation.
The bottom line that the entire book Discovering Hope: Building Vitality in Rural Congregations points out is that there are a variety of areas that congregations can focus on in order to bring hope for the future as a vital rural congregation, but how those aspects are implemented will be different for each congregation depending on their own unique context. The only way to find out what works for us, the churches of English and St. Luke Lutheran in Medina and Streeter North Dakota, is to be willing to take some risks, try some new things, and most of all not be afraid to find out what doesn't work for us, in order to find out what does.
What we learn from all of this is that this is an ongoing process. It is an ongoing process that I am personally excited to continue to pursue and walk beside and with you all as we work together to discover hope for our future as vital rural congregations.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters.
Pastor Ryan

It was just one week ago that President Trump announced - in tweets, of course - that Reince Priebus would no longer be serving as White House chief of staff. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly would take his place.
Trump's choice to put Kelly, a four-star Marine general, in the chief of staff role has been lauded by many who believe that Kelly can bring some order to a White House that has faced controversy, shake-ups and failed to make progress on much of the president's agenda. But can Kelly do that?
This week's episode of "Can He Do That?" answers that question: Can a new chief of staff fix a White House in turmoil?
We talked to Kristine Simmons, a former special assistant to President George W. Bush and vice president of government affairs at the Partnership for Public Service, Chris Whipple, author of "The Gatekeepers: How The White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency," and The Washington Post's national correspondent Greg Jaffe, who has covered Kelly's military career for years.
Each week, "Can He Do That?" examines the powers and limitations of the American presidency, focusing on one area where Trump is seemingly breaking precedent. We answer the critical questions about what today's news means for the future of the highest office in the nation.
Can a new chief of staff fix a White House in turmoil?
