Players were recognized for their efforts during the season
(Reading, PA) – The Reading Fightin Phils announced their annual end-of-season player awards prior to last Thursday night's game against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Below is a listing of the awards and the recipients for the 2017 season.
FirstEnergy Reading Fightin Phils MVP – Carlos Tocci
Reading center fielder Carlos Tocci was one of the best all-around players in the Eastern League this season, typically batting third in manager Greg Legg's lineup while playing gold glove defense. At 21 years old, Tocci was on the younger side yet still managed to shine in his first season at Double-A. At the time of his call-up to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in mid-August, Tocci was ranked second in the Eastern League with 132 hits and a .307 average while leading all players with seven triples. Following a Midseason All-Star selection, Tocci was also named the Phillies Minor League Defender of the Month in June. Statistically speaking, July was his best month of the season, when he batted .323 and added 16 runs batted in over 27 games. Other milestones during the month included his first two Fightin Phils home runs, which came in consecutive games on July 2 and 3 against the Flying Squirrels. Tocci later had his first 4-hit game of the season on July 16 against Binghamton, then followed it with his first 4-RBI game in New Hampshire the following day. A week later, Tocci made personal history when he drove in five runs for the first time in his career against the SeaWolves at FirstEnergy Stadium. Overall, he shined at home, batting .327 compared to .287 on the road. Tocci was ranked as the Phillies #29 prospect by Baseball America this year, and without question elevated that number for the 2018 season.
FirstEnergy Pitcher of the Year – Drew Anderson
The highest-rated prospect on the Opening Day roster, Drew Anderson blossomed into a frontline ace for the Fightin Phils. It didn't happen right away, as Anderson opened the season with three no decisions before winning three consecutive starts from the end of April into early May. Facing a really tough Bowie lineup on May 8, Anderson delivered his best start with a career-high 10 strikeouts over seven innings in a 2-1 Fightin Phils win. In his next start, he went seven innings again and struck out seven Portland Sea Dogs, bringing home his first of two Pitcher of the Week Awards. Ranked amongst the Eastern League leaders in opponents average and WHIP, Anderson put the Fightin Phils in a position to win almost every time he stepped on the mound. The highlight of his season came on August 1, when he made his Major League debut in Anaheim and struck out Mike Trout in his first inning for Philadelphia.
Strikeout Leader – Tyler Viza
Building off his introduction to Double-A halfway through 2016, Viza was the Fightin Phils most important pitcher towards the end of this season. Needing arms and innings, manager Greg Legg and pitching coach Steve Schrenk could always count on the 22-year-old righthander to take some pressure off the bullpen. Leading the Fightin Phils in both starts and innings, Viza also led the staff in strikeouts while approaching around 140 innings for the third consecutive season. From June 17-29, he won three straight which culminated in his finest start for the Fightin Phils with eight strikeouts over eight innings in Harrisburg. Two starts later, he struck out a season-high nine hitters in just five innings against the Rumble Ponies, then made three straight starts in which he logged seven innings.
Mortgage America Big Stick Award – Mitch Walding
Just one season after Dylan Cozens won this award for slamming a franchise record 38 home runs, third baseman Mitch Walding was more than a deserving winner in 2017. He had high expectations after being named a consensus All-Star and an Organization All-Star with Clearwater last season, and delivered on those in June. Walding batted .337 (31-for-92) with four doubles, two triples, 13 home runs, 27 RBIs, 21 runs scored, a .398 on-base percentage, and a .848 slugging percentage in 25 games during the month. He led all Eastern League players in home runs (13), RBIs (27), runs scored (21), total bases (78), slugging percentage (.848), and OPS (1.246) during the month of June and tied for the league lead in extra-base hits (19). The Phillies selected him as the Minor League Hitter of the Month after he had the most home runs among all minor league players in June, and was tied with the Dodgers' Cody Bellinger for the most in affiliated baseball. There were four games in June when Walding hit two home runs.
Railroad House Player of the Game – Jiandido Tromp
Similar to Team MVP Carlos Tocci, Jiandido Tromp flew under the radar coming into the season and put together his most complete performance during his time with the Phillies organization. It started before the season began during the annual 222 Showcase against the IronPigs, when he cranked a double off the wall against Mark Appel. He never really slowed up after that, setting the tone with a six-game hitting streak to start the season. His most impressive feat came in late June when he homered in three straight games against the defending champion Akron RubberDucks. A few days later, Jiandido was named Eastern League Player of the Week for the second weekly honor of his career. Aside from a Midseason All-Star selection to add to the resume, Tromp received his first Triple-A call-up in early June and appeared in three games with the IronPigs, driving in two runs during his time there.
"Broadway" Charlie Wagner Unsung Hero Award – Angelo Mora
Always charismatic and colorful, Angelo Mora was fun to watch during his stints with the Fightin Phils in 2017. With the ability to play multiple infield positions and being a switch-hitter, he was the Swiss Army Knife of this team. This award falls in line with Angelo's 2016 Larry Rojas Award, which honors love and respect for the game of baseball, an outstanding work ethic, and pride in being a member of the Phillies organization.
Pepsi Stolen Base Leader – Zach Coppola
It's almost fitting that at one time Zach Coppola was a Jackrabbit at South Dakota State University. When the Phillies drafted him in the 13th round in 2015, the center fielder was known for his speed and hitting acumen. Those were on display in Baseballtown after he was called up from Clearwater in early June, and he eventually ran away as the Fightin Phils stolen base leader atop the lineup. At one point, Coppola reached base in 23 straight games from July 9-August 5 and he was the only Fightin to steal three bases in one game when he accomplished the feat on June 14 in Bowie. He will finish the 2017 season as the organization's stolen bases leader.
Eugene L. Shirk Community Service Award – Kyle Martin
On top of their careers of professional baseball players, the Fightin Phils lend a hand in the Berks County community as part of the Philadelphia Phillies Community Service initiative. This season, first baseman Kyle Martin has the honor of taking home the Eugene L. Shirk Community Service Award after helping with baseball camps, hospital visits, and other community appearances. Martin has been an active participant in all the on-field Q & A sessions prior to the Fightin Phils camp day games this season.
America's Classic Ballpark is proud to be a part of Pennsylvania's Americana Region. Fightin Phils Tickets are available online at Fightins.com, by phone at 610-370-BALL, and in-person at FirstEnergy Stadium.

UFA Cinema Center
The urban design concept of the UFA Cinema Center confronts the issue of public space, currently endangered in European cities. This situation is caused by the financial insolvency of city governments, which forces the sale of public space to developers, who then propose monofunctional buildings in order to maximize capital return.
By disintegrating the monofunctionality of these structures and adding urban functions to them, a new urbanity can arise in the city. This character of this urbanity would not only be determined by functional differentiation and the creation of new spatial sequences thereby, but also by the injection of media events.
The design is characterized by two intricately interconnected building units: The Cinema Block, with eight cinemas and seating for 2600, and the Crystal, a glass shell which serves simultaneously as foyer and public square.
The interweaving of public squares, public interiors, and passageways was proposed as a way of energizing and densifying the new center of Dresden. The junctures between these urban vectors are defined as public spaces.
The Cinema Block opens up towards the street and is permeable for pedestrian traffic between Pragerstraße and St. Petersburger Straße. It is differentiated by the circulation system of the cinemas and by views through to St. Petersburger Straße.
The project for the UFA Cinema Center is a result of the urban design concept developed for the planning competition Pragerstraße Nord. Pragerstraße was defined as a dynamic spatial sequence, defined by tangents and diagonals rather than by axis.
The UFA Cinema Center is located at one of these junctures; it is formulated as the urban connection between Pragerplatz and St. Petersburger Straße. Thereby the Cinema itself is thereby transformed into a public space.
The Cinema Block opens up towards the street and is permeable for pedestrian traffic between Pragerstraße and St. Petersburger Straße. It is differentiated by the circulation system of the cinemas and by views through to St. Petersburger Straße.
The Crystal is no longer merely a functional entry hall to the cinemas, but an urban passageway. The bridges, ramps and stairs to the cinemas are themselves urban expressions. They allow views of the movement of people on a multitude of levels, unfolding the urban space into three dimensions. The lively quality of this space can be described in relation to the dynamic structure of film. The Skybar, the "floating" double-cone inside the foyer, is accessible and will host different functions (café, bar etc.).
In this way, the content of the building becomes visible to the city as much as the city is visible from the building. It is an inside-out building which sustains a dialogue with the city. The media event – projected from the interior towards the exterior – assists in the creation of urban space.

A Trump course will soon host a professional golf event again, this time on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica.
That tour's season-ending championship, the Tour Championship-Snell Championship, will take place at Trump National Doral's Golden Palm course in southern Florida. The event will take place this year Nov. 29-Dec. 2.
"It's exciting to go to a well-known, challenging site," Tour president Jack Warfield said in a press release.. "With all the storylines during the final week of the season as players battle for Order of Merit position, the Golden Palm Course will be a terrific place for all of us to watch the drama unfold."
The top 60 players in the Order of Merit on the Lationamérica tour advance to the Tour Championship. The top five money earners will then earn membership on the Web.com Tour, one step below the PGA Tour.
As for the new host course, it has undergone a complete renovation from course architect Gil Hanse. The Golden Palm course is just one of four courses at Doral, alongside Red Tiger, Silver Fox and Blue Monster, which was was a longtime host for the PGA Tour. The currently named WGC-Mexico Championship was hosted at Trump National Doral for 10 years from 2007 to 2016.
The Tour promised that the move was not political, though it was widely received as such. The Tour did note, months earlier, that Trump's comments regarding Muslim immigrants were "inconsistent with our strong commitment to an inclusive and welcoming environment in the game of golf." When the move was officially announced by the PGA Tour, it was highly criticized by then-campaigning Donald Trump. Trump said in an interview, "I hope they have kidnapping insurance."
Prior to 2006, the course hosted the Doral Open for more than 40 years, since the club opened in 1962.

Today I'm sharing the first holiday gift guide of the season.
Buying gifts for your girls can sometimes be trickier than it seems. There's always those certain besties where they seem to 1) have everything already, or 2) not really have a preference and 3) that just makes gift shopping for them tougher than it needs to be.
Depending on their style and preference, some gifts can be hit or miss, so I decided to round up items that didn't break the bank, were versatile enough to range in all friend groups, and most importantly, useful.
I wanted to go ahead and share this first gift guide today because some of these deals end TONIGHT.
Happy Shopping!

The lift has lived up to all and indeed more than we expected, it has made an amazing improvement in Isabella's quality of life, enabling her to now move effortlessly between floors. The lift operates quietly and smoothly between floors and is unobtrusive in the overall ambience of our home. From the first point of contact with Robert Thomson, the transaction was handled courteously and with a comprehensive knowledge of the product. Next Level even moved heavy gym equipment from the installation site on the first floor to the garage at ground level. All packaging and rubbish was taken away on completion and the site left Spotless
Next Level Elevators' engineered and completed the installation of our lift to a superior standard in both quality and service. Next Level conducted themselves in a professional, business-like manner throughout the whole process from point of sale, to install and the continued service of our lift. We would happily recommend Next Lift Elevators without hesitation.
To the team at Next Level Elevators, It is indeed great to deal with people of the highest integrity as you. We were at a loss as to how everything was going to work without the lift and I am aware of the manner in which you went out of your way to attend to our small issue. To the team at Next Level Elevators, It is indeed great to deal with people of the highest integrity as you.
I wish to thank you for your reliable, courteous and professional service in finalizing the installation of the lift for our clients. As Builders it is of the utmost importance that we work with people we can trust and you proved yourself to be trustworthy. I have no hesitation in recommending your company for any one installing a lift in their premises.
We had the Compact installed about 18 months ago. I was at a point where I either had to find a way to go up and down stairs or move to a single-storey house. That would have been expensive and we don't like single-storey houses. It was a lot cheaper to get the Compact and we were able to stay in the home we love. It has totally changed my life for the better. I was also extremely impressed with the engineer's professionalism when he installed it.
Having an elevator in our house has been a valuable asset. During the past three months we have managed to provide access to my grandfather who is in a wheelchair, our family friend who is a paraplegic, a friend who has had a knee reconstruction and our 4 year old daughter who broke her elbow and could not manage the stairs safely. It is used frequently with the weekly shopping and daily washing. Moving furniture and boxes has been effortless. Integrating the elevator door with the other door furniture in the house has allowed this modern feature to blend with our Federation style home.
We had successful and positive experience with Next Level Elevators, from sales right through to installation and we would happily recommend the Next Level team without hesitation.
We've had the Next Elevator Home lift for almost 2 years and it has been fabulous…no hassle operation and we can get myself, my wife and her wheelchair in with no problems. The company's service is excellent and prompt. Would recommend this Aussie product to anyone.

A 6-year-old girl remains in critical condition Tuesday after she was shot by her 4-year-old brother in Paulding County on Monday evening, authorities said.
Deputies were called about 6 p.m. to a home on Laurelcrest Lane in unincorporated Dallas after the girl was shot inside a vehicle parked in the driveway, Paulding County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Ashley Henson told AJC.com.
The girl was identified as Millie Drew Kelly on a GoFundMe page set up to help with the family's expenses.
"They were all loaded up to leave the home and the car wouldn't start," Henson said. Their mother hopped out to find the source of the problem, and somehow the young boy got hold of a handgun, he said.
His sister was shot in the head. She was taken to a Children's Healthcare of Atlanta location with serious injuries.
After speaking with the children's mother, detectives believe the handgun was retrieved from the center console, and the 4-year-old accidentally discharged it.
No charges had been filed as of Tuesday morning, Henson said.

Hi, I'm trying out this browser, so far decent, but the browser makes a noise about every minute that sounds like a click with what I could probably explain to be like a mechanical arm retracting. Is there a reason it keeps making this noise?

It has been a while since our last post and we have missed you for every minute we have been away. Several years ago, we delved into the concept of creating a platform that would combine both our talents and allow us to share our love of food with the world. We explored the possibility of food blogging and put plans in place to execute as soon as the moment was right for us both. We decided on a name, a format, a mission and defined our niche but hesitated to go public because we knew of the demands of serious food blogging. Then a little over a year ago, we tested the blog, making private posts and sending the url out to key persons who we we could count on for frank and instructive feedback. It was positive and encouraging. Even so, with the bulk of work that would be needed to make it a success, we still hesitated to go live. And then disaster struck, forcing us to find ways to release the grief of the passing of a dearly beloved. We were crushed. Somehow, in the midst of despair, it was cooking, photographing and writing about food that helped us to transcend our mourning. We bit our lips and took our blog live and secretly dedicated to our darling September, who inspired us even in her death to make something beautiful and lasting of her memory.
We poured everything into this space and filled it with our love and you responded in the most remarkable way possible- you loved us back. Chef and Steward would not have been what it is today without you. You have made all the long grueling hours worthwhile. You have challenged and supported us and have helped us to grow. We thank you.
This year, we will continue to deliver on the very things that make you keep on coming back. We are both now working full time outside the home in the food industry but we remain committed to finding time to devote to this blog. We will continue to give you original recipes that are affordable, accessible and practical for everyday cooking and those special comfort ones for those days when we need a decadent reprieve after demanding weeks. Here's to a year filled with hard yet rewarding work, great food yet balanced bathroom scales and great moments in the kitchen, at the dinner table and even at the sink washing away the remnants of meals. Love hard, play harder and cherish those you love. Life is short, live every moment. Life is for the living!

HEROIC COUPLET The heroic couplet consists of two rhyming lines with a meter of iambic pentameter. Although the heroic couplet appeared as early as in chaucer's verse, it gained its name through its frequent use in 17th-century heroic, also labeled epic, drama. It proved a favorite of John Dryden, who used it in his 1697 translation of Virgil. Its use continued into the 18th century, when master poets including Alexander Pope applied it to works including his translation of the Iliad, as well as popular works such as An Essay ON Man (1711). An example from that work demonstrating Pope's magnificent use of the heroic couplet is "A little learning is a dang'rous Thing / Drink deep, or taste not, the Pierian spring." In the hands of lesser poets the form proves disastrous, promoting tedium and unintentional humor.

You receive that email with a project idea. A crazy one, with creativity possibilities. You negotiate payment, dates…. you're happy and glad you got such a creative job! But, you start to design the sound and you realise: "oh, man… for some of this sounds I have no idea what to do!". We've all been there, it's normal.
But, this post, from Epic Sound Blog, can save you from that creative blocking you're having. Or, at least, give you a hand…
It's a long article, called "The Guide To Sound Effects", with tips and tricks on how record and create you own sound effects. From an airplane engine, to an ice volcano and sliding tentacles. Many, many ideas that you can use, blend with your own process or just get a starting point to create things your way.
I have selected some that I liked most (or were just really creative and funny…).
Bats flying
I used an umbrella opening and closing rapidly for the sound of bats flying one time… turned out great. I think I had to filter out some of the low frequency material, though.
-Tim Clarke
Blow to the head
Now I've heard, (and I'm not saying it's true but…) if you get a water melon, stick cream crackers to it (Jacob's or Sainsbury's own) and then whack it with a hammer/axe it sounds very much like you would expect a similar type blow to the head. You can then bury the water melon under the patio and no-one need ever know.
– Nick Arundel
Car crashes
Actual car crashes sound lots different than swinging & smashing cars with hammers & such, because of the mass involved. When you run a 1 ton object into a concrete wall, the huge energy dispersion that takes place actually does translate into the audio, most notably in the initial transient. There's not a ton of debris flying around in an actual wreck. We had to Foley the debris ourselves, and we did it on-site, using all kinds of car parts dropped from various heights onto various surfaces.
Most times, a lower speed collision will actually sound more violent than a high speed collision, because you can hear the car material "crumple" a bit, whereas in a high speed (70 mph +), the car gets pancaked so fast, that you get a big ol' transient, but not a lot of "detail", if you will.
Anyway, if I were trying to Foley an actual crash on a budget, I'd figure out a way to smash something with a lot of mass into an actual junked out car. Maybe just dropping a wrecking ball on it might do the trick, if you can talk the junkyard guy into it!
– Mike Carviezel
Dragon roars
A very basic approach to a dragon roar would be to experiment with a pitched-down human scream (add treble when pitch-shifting), combined with roars from animals such as walruses, lions etc (you can experiment with the pitch on these ones as well).
– David Filskov
I used a plastic patio table, dragged it long and short across the cement, played with the EQ and pitch and got some very interesting roars.
– Miguel Hilao
Innards of alien
For more subtle "Bloke examining innards of alien" effect, close-up mic work on your mouth, open and close mouth slowly whilst slowly taking tongue away from roof of mouth – sounds creepy as hell.
– Tim Wright
Rat shrieks
Pitched-up chickens.
– Ben Burtt
Up-pitched kittens. Especially the screechy ones.
– Gustaf Grefberg
If you want to simulate the roar of an animal, an angry tiger or lion for example, take a corrugated cardboard box, place two condenser mics (one outside the box, recording overall and the second facing the surface from the inside, to catch the resonance of the space), take a pen and start drawing the surface of the box!
You'll notice that depending on how you pressure the pen, the roar becomes more severe, more intense. Of course, you can experiment and change any of the variables mentioned it above, as for example: The size of the box, mic types and placement, writing tool (pen, pencil, marker ) e.t.c. Here's an example.
– Kostas Loukovikas
Sea shore
I heard that pouring a fizzy drink onto tarmac or any floor is supposed to be very good for sea, or that's what they used in jaws anyway.
– Matt Sugden
Space door opening
Put a piece of paper in an envelope and slide it out. I believe that's what they used in Star Wars.
– Phlum
Walking, robotic hydraulics / footsteps
Photocopier sounds are good for robotic hydraulics/footsteps.
– Paul Arnold
Close mic a DVD player door closing, it will give you a motorised sound ending with a thud. You can then mix in the sounds of the surface the robot is walking on, e.g. cornstarch for snow etc.
– Ian Brooker
Try turning a bicycle upside down (a touring model rather than a mountain bike… the tires are smoother). Spin the tire and press a piece of stretched silk/parachute-pants/winter-parka against it. Out comes wind in the form of a modulating white/pink noise. You could also run a white/pink noise signal through a low pass filter and automate the cutoff frequency (and resonance). The other method will probably yield results with more character and natural variation. Digital methods tends to sound static. (Lame pun intended…)
– Sam Watson
I was trying to take the air out of a large ziploc (laying flat on the counter) at home and noticed how much it sounded like the cold howling wind you hear in the winter. I can't say how much of the bag was closed but you can always experiment.
– Chris Leblanc
Well, these are just a few of the ideas there… really, there are a lot of cool stuff you can use for sound design and foley.
Hope this was helpful 🙂

Our old and clunky pick and place machine can't keep up with demand for some of the modules we sell. The current machine was bought second hand from someone who had stopped using it. When the machine arrived here there were some difficulties with the software and I had the software and machine upgraded by the manufacturer. This solved most of the problems.
Nothing lasts forever and the pick and place machine is no exception. There is nothing physically wrong with the machine and it still works. The vision system is ok but the component picking is not completely reliable and this causes the tape to jam. Sometimes a component is dropped near the tape or on top of a neighboring tape. The component then get trapped in the small spaces in the tape and this causes the machine to stop and wait for a manual intervention. The LS1 level shifter sells well and it has small margins. To manufacture it economically it has to be made in panels. There are enough components on a panel so that the machine jams on nearly every panel.
The vision system is optimized for small parts and this causes issues with bigger parts. When a part is picked up and moved to the up looking camera the vision alignment must find the part somewhere in the picture in order to align it. When using a parts larger than 144 pin QFP the part nearly fills the frame. The vision system fails to align the part if any piece of it is outside the frame. This is limiting the size of parts that we can use in our designs. Watch this space for more news on our adventure in surface mount assembly.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study how Swedish local politicians perceive the impact of public library digital services on public libraries and to discuss how this can affect the sustainable development of public libraries.
Design/methodology/approach – Empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews with local politicians from 19 different Swedish municipalities. Data were treated to qualitative content analysis and discussed based on the concept of sustainable organization.
Findings – According to local politicians, public library digital services may affect public libraries through changes to libraries' physical spaces, librarians' tasks and competencies and libraries' economic situations. Based on these findings, public library digital services can both strengthen and weaken public library sustainability through, for example, increased access and expenditures, the latter of which may threaten public library sustainability.
Research limitations/implications – Interviews did not focus specifically on the politicians' views on public library digital services but dealt generally with their views on public libraries. To identify reasons for variations in views on this topic, follow-up interviews should be done. Data on views from public library managers would also be of use to determine the degree to which they are shared with local politicians.
Originality/value – When sustainability and public libraries are discussed, the focus is generally on the library's contribution to a sustainable society. Here, the focus is instead on the sustainability of the public library itself.

Many modern day businesses and sports clubs are opting to have their corporate uniforms or sports apparel made from the latest technologies. Sublimated clothing is one of the best print options for creating stunning uniforms that will catch the eye of potential clients. There are 5 simple rules to create the best looking sublimation polo shirt, jumper or singlet for your needs.
1. Clear logo
No matter how busy your sublimated clothing may be, you always need to have your company or sports club logo large enough that its visible for everyone to see. This can be done by either a large logo on the centre of the chest or on the back.
2. Pick Colours that work together
Even though it's ideal to stick with your company colour scheme which may already be set up, keeping the colour scheme of your sublimated clothing simple and using colours that gel well together will create a great looking product.
3. Simple is Best
An advantage of Sublimation clothing is that you can have as much or as little detail as possible. This, however, can be a positive and a negative as some printers get carried away the effect of the clothing. Our belief is that less is more. Try to keep the clothing design as creative as you can but at the same time don't over do it.
4. Contact Details
There is no doubt your new sublimation clothing is going to catch people's eye. It is very important that your contact details are clearly marked on your clothing. Customer will remember you and will be likely to contact you just from seeing you around the area.
5. List your Services
People will generally get a good idea of what services you provide from the name of your business, however, it's often best to spell it out for people. Make sure ALL or if there are too many, your most important services that you offer are clearly labelled.
To talk to our designers about a design sample, feel free to call our team on 0408 783 063 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

How to fit an electronic ignition kit:
With the ignition switched off, disconnect the live feed at the coil ensuring it is on the +ve side of the coil.
Remove the distributor cap, rotor arm, contact points and condenser carefully, retaining the screws and withdraw the wires through the distributor body.
Test fit the module first and then apply the silicone grease provided (3 small dots only) to the underside of the module baseplate, leave the screws fitted. (If your kit is already on a plate then the heat grease is on out of the box)
Ensure that there is good continuity from the kit plate to the points baseplate through the internal earth wire inside the distributor. If there is not one present you may need to add one to give good continuity to the kit.
Check there is sufficient slack in the wires inside the distributor body for the base plate to turn when a vacuum unit is fitted, inserting the rubber plug to seal and secure the wires in the distributor body, use a small cable tie to keep these out of the way of moving parts.
Fit the new black trigger ring pressing down gently onto the shaft. On occasion the ring can be tight and may need to be carefully rubbed to make it wider. Only do this to make minor alterations.
Fit the rotor arm and rotate the spindle to check there is clearance between the module and the trigger, and that the rotor arm does not foul the module.
The kit will find it's own position but if the ring and kit touch then move the module to achieve a close but not touching position (4 or 5 mm maximum) and tighten the screws firmly for good heat distribution.
Locate the live feed to the coil (ensure this goes to the positive side of the coil) then connect the red Powerspark® wire to the positive coil terminal ensuring no other wire is on that same side.
Remember that some coils will not show a PLUS+ or MINUS- marking or it could be faded.
Older coils can also be marked:
15 for positive and 1 for negative.
Failure to connect the wires correctly will result in damage to the Powerspark module!!!
Refit the distributor cap, start the engine and check the dynamic ignition timing and adjust where necessary.

Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken
Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken – make chicken in just minutes using the instant pot. Super tender, juicy, and tons of flavor.
I am pretty much in love with my new instant pot. I first made Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches last week and they were a huge hit. If you haven't seen them yet, you need to check it out. So fast and easy to make tender and juicy beef. Today I am here with chicken!
My son asked me the other day what protein he thought we ate the most of. I am pretty sure it is chicken. Oven Baked Chicken and Potatoes is an easy chicken dinner. But then I like to mix it up too. Like Peanut Chicken and Rice! But we do eat a lot of chicken, that is for sure.
Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken is always a hit at our house, but sometimes chicken can dry out in the crock pot. So I was super excited to see what happened in the instant pot. I am super excited to say that it stayed super moist!! This salsa verde chicken is what really converted me to an instant pot lover. And you can even make dessert in your Instant Pot! Instant Pot Rice Pudding sounds perfect!
This salsa verde chicken is so easy. All you have to do is place the chicken in the instant pot, and our over salsa verde. I added a few spices as well, but if you are in a big hurry, you could skip those. We added the chicken to a few tortillas to make tacos for dinner the first night. But leftovers were great for quesadillas, salads, and I even turned them into enchiladas later in the week.
Here is the Instant Pot that I have and love. I can't wait to keep playing with it and trying out new recipes. So stay tuned, because I have quite a few more ideas that will be coming soon.
If you don't have an instant pot yet, don't wait any longer! This chicken, and how fast it cooks will become a weeknight life saver. Just put in some chicken broth and you have plain shredded chicken you can flavor however you want for dinners all week long!
Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken
Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken - make chicken in just minutes using the instant pot. Super tender, juicy, and tons of flavor.

Ecma Standard 376 – Office Open XML formats
It's finally official. Today the Ecma General Assembly voted almost unanimously to approve the Office Open XML formats as an official Ecma standard. They also voted to submit the standard to ISO for fast track certification. The official press release from Ecma International can be found here: http://www.ecma-international.org/news/PressReleases/PR_TC45_Dec2006.htm
Here's a quote from Jan van den Beld, the Secretary General of Ecma International:
"The broad spectrum of sponsors from the industry and public institutions ensure the creation of an open standard that can create a wide range of possibilities for document processing, archival and interoperability" said Jan van den Beld, Secretary General of Ecma International. "The Open XML standard recognizes the benefit of backward compatibility preservation of the billions of documents that have already been created while enabling new future applications of document technology."
As I blogged about back in early October when we finalized the draft, it was a ton of hard work by around 20+ individuals from about 12 corporations, but it was well worth it. The dramatic improvements that the specification has undergone over the past year show it all. I was just looking back at one of my earlier blog posts from last year when we first submitted the Open XML formats to Ecma for standardization. It really is amazing that the group was able to accomplish so much work this past year. I can't wait to see what we're able to accomplish as we start working on the next version.
There are a few things that will be pretty fun to watch over the next few months. The one I'm most excited is the huge growth we're seeing in the Open XML developer community. We already have larger corporations/applications like Apple, Corel, Novel, Intel and Microsoft either participate directly in the standardization, or publicly comment on upcoming support for the Open XML formats. This is cool, but not the piece I'm as excited about. I'm looking forward to all the smaller companies (like the folks participating up on openxmldeveloper.org) that take advantage of this interoperable format as a building block for rich solutions that create and consume documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other document types we haven't thought of yet. There are simple tools out there like the docx converter (http://docx-converter.com). There is the open source project up on sourceforge for converting from Open XML to ODF and back (http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/). There is even the MindManager tool that converts mind maps into wordprocessing documents. The possibility are infinite… who knows how long it will be before we even see things like rich spreadsheetML files with branding, charting, pivot tables, etc. being output directly from hardware devices (like medical imaging equipment) rather than a basic CSV file.
Next step is going to be ISO certification, and here's hoping that IBM doesn't try to push too hard against this too. They've already said they were the only ones who voted against the Ecma certification which is a shame. Having a complete spec that outlines every piece of the Office file formats and is publicly maintained is a good thing. We shouldn't have to waste time arguing about that (unless we're in training to be a politician or something). Open XML may not be the best format for every use, but what is? HTML is great for some things, but really limited for others. XML is great for some things, but really limited to others. The same goes for these newer formats like ODF an Open XML. Microsoft had no problem with ODF becoming an ISO standard for instance, and didn't put up any roadblocks. It was a good thing. Hopefully IBM will be able to say the same about Open XML, but we'll have to wait and see. I haven't seen any public comments on that yet.
So, to all of my colleagues from TC45, congratulations! I think these stats say it all in terms of your hard work:
- 72 presentations were given to the technical committee explaining the existing behaviors of features so that discussion on how to best structure and document it could then take place.
- 66 hours of live meeting discussions (starting at 6am every Thursday for those of us on the west coast of the US)
- 88 schema files
- 128 hours of face to face meetings held in Brussels (ECMA); Cupertino, CA (Apple); London (British Library); Sapporro, Japan (Toshiba); Redmond, WA (Microsoft); Trondheim, Norway (StatOil)
- 6,000 pages of documentation between the 5 parts of the standard
- 9,422 different items to document (3,114 attributes, 2,500 elements, 3,243 enumerations, 567 simple types)

Severance Agreements: A Win-Win Situation
Wrongful Termination - "Can They Do That?"
Wrongful termination claims where employees on leave are fired
In my law practice, I often receive calls from employees inquiring about wrongful termination issues because they lost their job while on leave for health reasons. The employer, of course, may have legitimate reasons for terminating an employee on medical leave. The employer may need to fill the empty position to meet pressing work demands, or may be unhappy about the past work performance of the absent worker. While these motives are understandable, there are reasons why firing an "on leave" employee should be avoided if possible.
Tip #1 for Avoiding a Wrongful Termination Claim
Document before termination. If possible, document infractions (that may lead to termination) before you terminate the employee. For example, write down in memo form instances of employee misconduct or poor performance, then meet with your employee to discuss the matter. Present the memo and ask your employee to sign same to acknowledge receipt, keeping a signed copy to place in the employee's personnel file. In the memo, advise the employee that any further infraction could lead to discipline, which could include termination. Now you have "documented" the event.

Some scandals are forgettable, particularly when all the speculation turns out to be fake news.
Condom Search Finds Bodies
John Deckard
The Portland Pataphysical Outpatient Clinic
July 11, 2001 07:11 PM
WASHINGTON (YU) – Congressman Harry Condom Sr. said through a spokesintern today that he was "as shocked as anyone in this room" when told that a body possibly belonging to missing Capitol Hill intern Shandling Garvey was discovered in plain sight on his coffee table during a routine search of his Georgetown condo on Tuesday.
"The Congressman wishes to remind reporters that police continue to say he is not a suspect," the unidentified source said, posing suggestively for photos. "He also wants to make it clear that he rarely uses the Georgetown residence, and he has been staying at his Watergate rooms with Bob Dole and Monica Lewinsky since May 2, 2001." Garvey has not been seen in ten weeks.
District of Columbia Police Chief Robert "Bo" Rankles told reporters it is too early to say if the remains belong to the missing 24-year old, or even if they belong to a single victim. "It is hell in there," Rankles said, pulling the hood off his life support system. "The stench is over-powering. I haven't seen anything like this since the Dahmer case up in Milwaukee."
Emergency forensic specialists flown in by Northwest Medical Teams to sift through the grisly find have already ruled out any chance that Jimmy Hoffa or Andy Kaufman are among the nine truckloads of bones and other material removed from the posh apartment.
Rumors abound that many of the corpses may belong to the 900 victims from Jonestown whose bodies were never claimed and were lost during the early days of the Stupid Bush administration when the storage facility was cleared to make way for a war room where Colon Bowel and Arnold Schwarzeneggerkopf showed fuzzy photographs and talked about collateral damage.
Condom has denied from the beginning that he had anything to do with the disappearance of "that annoying young woman, Ms. Garvey, with whom I did not have sexual relations." Friends and acquaintances of the career politician call him "an average power-hungry white American male" and say they still don't understand "what the hell he ever saw in that whiny little tart." Other people familiar with the California stuffed shirt were not so kind. "If he didn't get rid of her," said one, "He's sure going to a lot of trouble to make it look like he did."
Meanwhile, the national media continues to suggest that Condom's infidelities and sexual appetites are more important than the deepening economic recession precipitated by the installation of President Goober W. Bush by his family and friends last November.
Most recently, the Washington Post discovered a social studies teacher from Louisville, Kentucky, who claims Condom has abducted her on several occasions and treated her as one of several dozen sex slaves he keeps in a spaceship docked at Churchill Downs.
The entire circus was thrown yet another curve late this afternoon when Dr. Florence Blude of Johns Hopkins University announced that preliminary testing of DNA from the first samples recovered from the Georgetown crime scene belonged a close relative of the Kennewick Man.
Representatives of eight Columbia basin tribes have left the northwest demanding the Washington investigation be suspended indefinitely, until the ownership of the remains can be positively determined.

The staff was so kind and helpful, breakfast was beyond excellent, and the location cannot be beat. 5 stars for the amenities in our private room and bathroom too, especially the AC!
This cannot be written quickly. Some things on the hotels.com web site were not so clear, but I booked because of the high user rating. First: it is not that easy to find, unless you know there is no sign. This is a B&B in a larger apartment building. Simply get to Scanderbeg Piazza and look for the number inscribed in the walls of the buildings. On the correct building there is a pad with 10 or so push buttons, and the one labeled Domus Trevi is the one you need. The rooms are on the third floor, but there is an elevator (very small) that you have to take to the fourth floor then walk back to the third to access the rooms. The breakfast is not a large spread but it is fresh and adequate. The rooms are small but adequate. So why the rating? One word (actually a name): Raluca. This wonderful gift to travelers is unlike anything I ever saw. She is smart, efficient, fun, informative, helpful. She is the manager, housemother, concierge, chef, mother confessor, guardian angel, and so much more. Simply tell her what you need and she makes it happen. If there is something you need to know, she will know it. She makes you feel as though you are family. I simply cannot say enough about her. Honestly, I would return to Rome just to sit and talk with her. The property is about a minute's walk for Trevi Fountain, and there are shops - and hucksters - even closer. There is a fine little restaurant right next door, and gift shops, gelaterias, pizzerias, etc close.
Our main reason for booking a hotel in Rome was to be close to the airport for our return flight the following day. The staff is wonderful. Extremely helpful providing advice regarding best option to travel to airport and took care of the arrangements for us. Facility is spotless - nice breakfast cooked to order! We would definitely stay here again.
Staff were unbelievable. Great breakfast and location.
What an absolutely amazing place to stay. Amazing location, super friendly and knowledgeable hosts and exceptionally clean. It felt like coming home and being looked after.

[Illustration: Joseph as Ruler of Egypt speaks to his brothers.] JOSEPH THE DREAMER By AMY STEEDMAN [Illustration] THOMAS NELSON & SONS NEW YORK * * * * * The Story of Joseph [Illustration: The coat of many colours.] This is the story of Joseph, the boy who had the strangest and most exciting adventures of any boy who ever lived. Joseph was but a little lad when his mother died. His father, Jacob, had loved that mother more than any one else in the world, so that when she died leaving Joseph and a baby brother, Benjamin, all the love in the father's heart turned to his two little sons. The elder brothers were strong, grown-up men, quite able to look after themselves, and no longer needing their father's care; so perhaps it was no wonder that Jacob made a special favourite of the little lad Joseph, and loved him best. At first the older brothers took no notice of their father's way with the younger boy; but as Joseph grew older they began to feel uneasy and envious. Why should this child be marked out for special favour? Their father took no pains to hide the fact that the boy was the apple of his eye. Even his clothes showed this. While the brothers wore the ordinary shepherd clothing, Joseph had a beautiful coat of many colours. His father had made it for him of different pieces of coloured cloth joined together, and it was so gay and beautiful that every one who saw him wearing it said, "This must be the son of a great chief!" But if the gay coat made them angry, they were more angry still when Joseph began to dream strange dreams, which he always told to them. As they sat around in the fields watching the sheep, the boy would come running to them, full of excitement, as he begged them to listen to a wonderful dream he had had. "Hear, I pray thee, this dream that I have dreamed!" he cried, sitting down amongst them. "We were binding sheaves in a field, and lo! my sheaf arose and also stood upright, and, behold, your sheaves stood round about and bowed to my sheaf!" Another time his dream was about the stars; the sun and moon and eleven stars, he said, had all bowed down before him. This was really more than his brothers could bear. Did he really think he was going to rule over them? Were they to bow down before this boasting boy in his fine coat? Even his father did not quite approve of these dreams. But Joseph had not really meant to boast. It was the wonder of the dreams that made him repeat them. If he was proud of his coat of many colours, it was only because it was a gift from his father. He was a straightforward good-natured boy, clever and brave, and ready to take his turn in watching the flocks or helping his brothers with their work in the fields. But it grew day by day more difficult to keep the peace at home, and the only quiet times were when the elder brothers went farther afield to find new pasture for their flocks. It was at one of these times, when the brothers had been gone for some time, that Jacob called Joseph to him, and bade him go and find his brothers, and bring back news if they were safe and well. Joseph was now a lad of about seventeen, and this would be the first journey he had taken by himself, so he was eager to show that he was to be trusted, and he set out most cheerfully. After some days he arrived at Shechem, where his father had told him he would find his brothers. But he could find no signs of them there. Unwilling to go home without news, Joseph wandered about until he met a man who directed him to a place farther on where his brothers might be, and at last he caught sight of their tents in a field far ahead. How lucky he was to find them, he thought to himself, as he hurried forward eager to meet them. It was a clear day, and the shepherds' keen eyes could see far along the winding road that stretched out across the low hills towards Shechem. Long before Joseph came within hail, his brothers saw his figure in the distance hastening towards them. Perhaps it was the gay colour of his coat that first told them who it was, and perhaps it was the coat that reminded them of their hate and envy, and brought back to their memory again those dreams so full of pride. "Behold, this dreamer cometh!" they said one to another. "Come now, therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, 'Some evil beast hath devoured him!' and we shall see what will become of his dreams." With dark looks of hate they watched the gay figure coming so joyfully towards them, and only one heart felt any pity for the boy. Reuben, the eldest brother, made up his mind quickly that he would save him if possible. Only he must set to work cunningly, for those other nine brothers were very determined men. So he began by suggesting that it seemed quite unnecessary to kill the boy themselves when the easiest plan would be just to put him down the pit, which was close at hand, and there leave him to die. (For he thought if he could persuade them to do this he would come back and save Joseph when the others had gone.) Never dreaming of evil, Joseph came on, and now he ran eagerly up to them and began to give them their father's message. [Illustration: "Behold, this dreamer cometh!"] But the rough hands held out to him were not held out in welcome. The brothers seized the boy and savagely tore off his beautiful coat, as if the very sight of it hurt their eyes, and then they hurried him towards the pit which Reuben had pointed out. Then Joseph knew that they meant to kill him. He knew that if they threw him into one of those deep narrow pits there was no chance of climbing up its steep sides, even if he were not immediately drowned in the water which often gathered at the bottom. Was he never to see his father and little brother again? never to spend any more happy days in the fields under the blue sky? It was useless to cry out and beg for pity. Reuben, the eldest brother, who might have helped him, was not there, and the others he knew were merciless. The pit was reached, and in spite of his cries strong hands pushed him forward and over the edge. Down, down he fell into the blackness, until with a terrible thud he reached the bottom. There was no water to break his fall, for the pit was dry. Well--that was done! The cruel brothers went off to a little distance and began to eat their midday meal. But scarcely had they begun when they caught sight of a company of travellers passing along the road close by. There was a long train of camels laden with spices, evidently on their way down to Egypt. [Illustration: "They sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites." Gen. xxxvii. 28.] Here was a splendid opportunity of making some money out of their evil plan. Instead of leaving Joseph to starve in the pit, they would fetch him out and sell him to these merchants. Most likely they would get a good price for such a strong young slave. [Illustration: They hurried him towards the pit.] Perhaps when Joseph heard their voices at the pit's mouth, and when they drew him up and lifted him out into the sunshine again, he thought for a moment that they meant to be kind to him after all. But that thought soon vanished. The Midianite merchants were waiting, the bargain was struck, and very soon a rope was bound round his hands, and he was tied to the saddle of the man who had bought him. He knew now they had only taken him out of the pit to sell him as a slave. Meanwhile Reuben had been keeping out of sight, waiting to return and rescue his young brother as soon as it was safe to do so. Very cautiously at last he stole back. But, alas! when he reached the pit he found that it was empty. In his distress he forgot his caution, and cared no longer if his brothers guessed what he had meant to do. "The child is not, and I, whither shall I go?" he cried to them in bitter sorrow when he met them. With angry, sullen looks they told him that Joseph was now far away on his road to Egypt. Reuben must keep their secret. There was but one thing to be done. Joseph's coat lay there, just as they had torn it off his back. They would dip the coat in goat's blood and carry it to their father. The poor, gay-coloured little coat, all blood-stained and torn, was brought and held up before Jacob's eyes. "This have we found," said the brothers; "know now whether it be thy son's coat or no?" Did he not, indeed, know that coat of many colours? Had he not matched and joined together each of the pieces? Had not his heart been filled with pride and love as he watched the boy wearing it with such a gallant air? "It is my son's coat!" he cried with a bitter cry of grief; "an evil beast hath devoured him! Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!" [Illustration: He was tied to the saddle of the man who had bought him.] It might perhaps have seemed better just then for Joseph if he had been dead instead of being carried away into slavery. It was a terrible fate, and he might well have become sullen and hopeless in the strange land of Egypt to which the merchantmen took him. But instead of being sorry for himself, and thinking only of the unkindness and wickedness of his cruel brothers, he made the best of everything, and set himself to do his new hard work as well as possible. If he was a slave he would, at any rate, be a thoroughly good slave. And very soon his master, Potiphar, found that this fair-haired, good-looking Hebrew boy was one to be trusted, and, as time went on, he not only gave him his freedom, but made him the chief servant of the house-hold. Then, just when happy days began to dawn for Joseph, misfortune once more overtook him. His master's wife accused him of doing wrong, and declared he was thoroughly bad. And so all his well-deserved favours were taken from him, and he was put into prison. Even in prison Joseph's quiet goodness and his wise ways made him a favourite. He was the friend of all the other prisoners, and before long he became the governor's right hand. Still it was weary work to be shut up in prison, and he longed with all his heart for freedom, and a chance to win a place for himself in the great world. He knew that Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, was not unfriendly to strangers. If only he could reach his ear all might be well. At last the chance came. There were two of Pharaoh's servants in the prison--one, the king's cup-bearer, and the other his chief baker, and both these were sorely troubled one night because of the dreams they had dreamt. They were sure these dreams had a meaning, but who was to explain them? [Illustration: "Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!"] Now Joseph had learned to know a great deal about dreams, and so he listened to these men and told them what he thought their dreams must mean. The chief baker's dream was a sad one. He had dreamt of three baskets which he carried on his head--baskets filled with the king's food--but the birds had come and eaten up all the food. "Alas!" said Joseph, "the three baskets must mean three days, and in three days the baker must be hanged, and the birds would come and eat his flesh." But the cup-bearer's dream was a happy one, for he had seen a vine which bore three clusters of grapes, which he had pressed out into the king's cup and presented to Pharaoh. The three clusters of grapes were again three days, said Joseph, and in three days' time the cup-bearer would be once more free and hand the king his golden cup. "But think of me when it shall be well with thee," added Joseph to the cup-bearer, "and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house. For, indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon." In three days all that Joseph had said came true. The chief baker was hanged, and the chief butler was set free, and stood once more before the king; only he quite forgot the man who had been so kind to him in prison, and for two years never once thought of Joseph. But at last something happened that reminded him. Once again it was a dream, but this time the dreamer was Pharaoh, the great king. He had sent for all the cleverest men in the land to explain his dreams to him, but no one could find a meaning for them. Then the cup-bearer suddenly remembered Joseph, and came and told the king all that had happened to him when he was in prison. Surely it would be worth while to try this man. So Pharaoh sent and brought Joseph out of prison, and asked him if it was true that he could tell the meaning of dreams. [Illustration: He told them what he thought their dreams must mean.] There was no pride nor boastfulness in Joseph's answer. Of himself, he said, he could do nothing; but with God's help he would tell the king all that he could. So Pharaoh told his dreams, and as Joseph listened he knew at once that they had been sent as a warning from God. Seven years of good harvests and plenty of food were coming, and after that seven years of famine, when, if all the food of the good years was eaten up, the people would starve. The warning dreams had been sent so that the corn might be saved up and stored. And it would be a good plan, said Joseph, to find the very wisest and best man in all the land who would undertake to do this. Pharaoh listened thoughtfully, and soon made up his mind. He felt at once that Joseph was a man to be trusted. "Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this," he said, "there is none so discreet and wise as thou art. Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than thou." What a wonderful adventure this was for Joseph! One day only a poor unknown prisoner, and the next the lord and ruler over all the land of Egypt--next only to the king in power. But although Joseph's outside life was changed, he himself remained just the same. He was as keen as ever on doing his best, as brave and fearless in serving God and the king, as wise in ruling as he had been in serving. So when the years of famine came there were great stores of corn laid up to feed the Egyptians, and not only the people of Egypt, but strangers from other lands came to Joseph, the Ruler, to buy food. [Illustration: He felt at once that Joseph was a man to be trusted.] Then it was that one day ten tired, travel-stained men arrived at the city, saying they had come from the far-distant land of Canaan to buy corn for their wives and families, who were starving. Joseph knew them at once. They were his ten brothers--those brothers whom he had last seen when, as a helpless boy, he had knelt and begged them for mercy. Now they came kneeling to the great ruler, little dreaming that this powerful prince was the young brother they had betrayed and sold into slavery. And Joseph did not mean to tell them just yet. He pretended to take them for spies, and he spoke roughly to them. "Thy servants are no spies," the brothers answered humbly. "We are the sons of one man, in the land of Canaan, and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not." Even then Joseph pretended that he did not believe them. No, they must first prove their words by bringing their youngest brother to him. They might leave one of their number behind as a hostage, and take corn for their families, and return to fetch their brother. This he said because he longed to see Benjamin again. The men listened sadly to what the great man said. They must have the corn or their families would starve. And yet how could they leave one of their brothers behind when they knew their father would never allow Benjamin to return with them. "This is just what we deserve," they said to one another. "We would not listen to Joseph when he begged for mercy, and now this is our punishment." "Did I not beg you not to hurt the child?" said Reuben. They did not know, of course, that the great ruler could understand what they were saying in their own language; but as Joseph listened he was obliged to turn away to hide the tears that were in his eyes. [Illustration: Lord and ruler over all the land of Egypt.] There was nothing for it but to agree to the conditions, so it was decided that Simeon should be left behind, and the order was given that all the sacks should be filled with corn, and that every man's ass should be laden with as much corn as could be carried; only, instead of taking money for the corn, Joseph ordered that it should be secretly hidden in the sacks, each man's money in his sack of corn. So the men started off on their journey home, and travelling all day came at night to an inn to rest. There one of the men opened his sack to give his ass some food. What, then, was his surprise to find his bundle of money tied up in the mouth of his sack! The other brothers gathered round and looked on in amazement. Yes, it was quite true. There was the money which was the price of the corn--not a penny of it taken! What could it mean? But they were still more amazed when at last they came to their journey's end and found, when they opened their sacks, that all their money had been returned. There was a bundle of money in each sack! It was so strange that they grew uneasy and frightened. Then, too, they were obliged to tell their father that Simeon had been left behind as a hostage, and that the great lord of the country had taken them for spies, and had demanded that Benjamin should return with them before he would believe their story. But Jacob would not hear of parting with his youngest son. Had he not lost two sons already, first his beloved Joseph, and now Simeon? "Will you also take Benjamin from me?" he asked. "All these things are against me!" In vain Reuben promised that he would bring Benjamin safely back. Jacob only shook his head. "My son shall not go down with you," he said. "His brother is dead, and he is left alone. If mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave!" [Illustration: There was the money which was the price of the corn.] Now that was all very well while the corn lasted; but when the famine still went on, and all the corn was eaten up, there was nothing to be done but to go back to Egypt and try to buy some more. And it was no use going without Benjamin, for had not the great lord of the country declared, "Ye shall not see my face except your brother be with you." So at last Jacob was obliged to let his precious son go with his brothers, although it almost broke his heart to part with him. Now Joseph had been quite sure that his brothers would return, and when at last they appeared he was overjoyed to see that Benjamin was with them. He ordered a great feast to be made, and invited them all to dine with him; but still he kept his secret, and they did not guess who he was, although they could not help noticing that Benjamin was singled out for special favor. So their sacks were filled again with corn, and the brothers prepared to set out joyfully on their return journey. Only this time Joseph had ordered his servants to put his silver cup into Benjamin's sack. The men had not gone far before they were overtaken by the great ruler's servants, who accused them of stealing their lord's silver cup. Of course they indignantly denied this; but when the baggage was searched the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. Now indeed was their joy turned into blackest sorrow. They must go back at once to try and explain matters to the lord of the land. But would he listen to them? At first Joseph pretended to be very angry, but as he listened to their tale and heard how they dared not face their father without the beloved youngest son, he saw that they had earned his forgiveness, and he kept up the pretence no longer. Sending all the servants away he held out his hands to his brothers, his eyes blinded with tears. "I am Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt," he said. "Now, therefore, be not grieved nor angry with yourselves that ye sold me hither, for God did send me before you to preserve life." At first the brothers could scarcely believe their ears. Could this great lord really be their little brother Joseph? And could he really forgive them their cruelty? Then Joseph put his arm round Benjamin's neck and kissed him, and afterwards kissed each of his other brothers, so that they began to feel that the wonderful story was real and not a mere dream. There was no fear of famine for them now. Nothing in all the land was too good for the brothers of the great ruler, and ere long there were wagons and camels on their way to Canaan to fetch Jacob, the old father, and all the wives and children belonging to the ten brothers. They would all now share in Joseph's good fortune. So Jacob's sorrow was turned into joy when the news was brought to him that Joseph was alive and was governor over all the land of Egypt. It sounded almost like a magic tale, and at first Jacob could not believe it; but at last, when he saw the wagons and heard Joseph's own message to him, his heart was filled with joy and thankfulness. "It is enough," he cried. "Joseph, my son, is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die." It was a long journey for such an old man; but joy gave him strength to endure it, and at the end Joseph stood waiting to welcome him--Joseph the great ruler, clad in rich robes, living in princely state, whose word was law, and who held the highest honors in the land. * * * * * BOOKS IN THIS SERIES JOSEPH THE DREAMER THE BABE IN THE BULRUSHES DAVID THE SHEPHERD BOY THE CHILD JESUS THE GOOD PHYSICIAN THE GOOD SHEPHERD * * * * * *** End of this Doctrine Publishing Corporation Digital Book "Joseph the Dreamer" *** Doctrine Publishing Corporation provides digitized public domain materials.

Following our Innovation in a Box webinar, we received a number of questions that I have followed up and answered. There were some great questions, so I thought it would be a good idea to post them for your knowledge and interest.
Q: How do you approach innovation when your infrastructure doesn't have the technology to implement your ideas?
A: Ideas:
This is almost an expectation, or let me re-frame that. Breakthrough innovation is almost by definition going to be "impossible", so if it's not an infrastructure issue, it will be a money issue, or some other issue. In fact, use an Implementation Checklist to determine what the issues are. It's almost a "let's anticipate that it's going to rain" approach.
More specifically to answer your question...Collaborate, i.e. who can you hire, partner with, borrow from, acquire, train to do the work, with you or for you?
e.g. Creating an assessment with an outside service provider. The downside is that this is going to cost, either in terms of fee for service, or shared ownership, but there is limited options. Developing the capacity in-house is going to be equivalent...
Apply the same tools to the new problem-statement (your question) that we applied to the original problem statement, i.e. which gave you the product idea to begin with.
e.g. Mindmap + Scamper (Innovation tools part of the Innovation in a Box training program. For more information, contact us.)

The grid is filled around a central (initially) blank area measuring 5×4. The three protagonists of the play SERGE, MARC and YVAN can be entered interlocking in this area in only one combination, allowing the author YASMINA REZA to fill the remaining cells clockwise starting from the Y of YVAN and also utilising the M of MARC.
The title refers to both the puzzle type as well as the thematic painting of the play.
|Serge and Marc inspect the white painting in a 2011 production by OVO theatre company, St Albans, UK.
Some comments from solvers:
Having so many long answers made it pretty easy to get started filling the grid with confidence, and it didn't take long to guess that there was going to be a blank space in the middle of the grid.
How hard would this puzzle have been if the clues had been in alphabetic order of their answers?
LOOR is a Scottish form of the comparative of LIEF, so I don't think it can mean 'willingly'.
Very impressive outer grid, with 6 13s crossing 4 12s. Centred 5x4 not so impressive - gives the impression of a bolt-on at the end. Unsure if a bar is required threin. Just leaving the 5x4 blank (white) would seem more appropriate.
I looked up "white painting" and got "Polar Bear At The North Pole"...
The obscurity of theme now allowed by the all-powerful Google monthly brings new things to enjoy and then swiftly forget.
An enjoyable solve and a potentially interesting play, of which I knew nothing. Whatever the solution, and whether or not I have chosen correctly, however, the cryptic "Bars must be entered" will leave me less than satisfied.
I can't see a sensible way to put bars in the center. Given the theme, I think it's appropriate there aren't any.
A nice alternative title would be "But Is It Art?". This time, it is.
Superb grid with great endgame - excellent. Many thanks Eclogue! The 'skip two letters' in the preamble fooled me for a moment - I was expecting it to read 'three' - until it was clear that the third one not used was between the start and the end of YASMINA REZA.
Oh and great (and irresistible, I am sure) Title - excellent choice!
