2 Statement of Technical Approach for Help Desk Services Northrop Grumman s help desk solution will put in place the people, processes and tools to deliver enterprise wide help desk services that: Take ownership of customers problems until resolved Understand the business of customers to return them to work as quickly as possible when they have a technology problem Establish and maintain positive, long-term relationships with customers through open communication and continuous feedback Provide high-level customer service and technical expertise Respond rapidly and positively to customer inquiries End user satisfaction will initially be maintained as Northrop Grumman begins help desk operations using the people, tools and processes already providing IT services. Those same people will be involved in the preparation for, implementation of and on-going service delivery through the consolidated, integrated, enterprise wide VITA help desk. Current VITA personnel will participate in defining processes related to the incident management system that will be quickly deployed across the enterprise. They will participate in the update and on-going maintenance of the Help Desk Standard Operating Procedures. Their agency and regional expertise will be tapped for the creation of knowledge to be used by all customer service analysts serving the Commonwealth. Existing VITA personnel will support the roll-out of the consolidated help desk that will deliver services from the Southwest Enterprise Solutions Center, the Richmond Enterprise Solutions Center and the virtually consolidated but distributed help desk and deskside support employees. They will support that roll-out by their participation in the planned PC Refresh and Migration projects which kick-off in the first year of operations. Customers will also be given the ability to access Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and knowledge for self-help and personal incident resolution. Northrop Grumman s solution incorporates centralized account administration and performance reporting, as requested by VITA. This solution will provide an enterprise-wide help desk for the Commonwealth of Virginia, initially supporting 67,223 seats and integrated with all support services. The Northrop Grumman help desk will be staffed by existing VITA support personnel, including VITA Customer Care Center staff and agency-dedicated help desk and deskside support personnel, and will use Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)/ITSM-based processes and incorporate Web-accessible tools and telephony features to allow some help desk personnel to be collocated with agency end-user customers in a virtual help desk model. Northrop Grumman s incident management system will be fully integrated with a full suite of system and service management tools, and will keep all help desk personnel, whether local or remote, informed about system and network conditions. People The Northrop Grumman enterprise wide help desk solution incorporates the VITA Customer Care Center currently located within the Richmond Plaza Building. Furthermore, Northrop PAGE 1
3 Grumman shall support a virtual organization, allowing help desk personnel to be situated outside the Richmond Plaza Building, within any agency, or from a home-based office. During the start-up phase, VITA personnel will be informed of the operational changes that will take place. Northrop Grumman will manage help desk personnel through employment and cultural changes over the life of the program, and will provide ongoing training for support personnel to address the continual changes within the environment. Although service initially will be provided by the same persons in the same places, during the first months of transition support personnel will be trained in the use of the incident management system, and will be expected to log each incident handled every day. Support personnel will have a record of work performed, and VITA and Northrop Grumman will have a factual baseline of work being performed. This baseline will be the foundation for determining employee skill sets and the volume of work required of each support service. Employees will have access to training that will teach them the tools and processes used in their job, as well as new skills. During transition, help desk and deskside support staff throughout the Commonwealth will document the environment and the technology knowledge and procedures specific to the agency and location served. This documentation will enable support staff to quickly refer to materials concerning past incidents experienced by end users to speed the return to service for recurring incidents. The help desk within the integrated support model forms the First Point of Contact element of Northrop Grumman s integrated support model. That model is arranged as follows: First Point of Contact First point of contact for service requests and inquiries On-Site Support Technical Site Support and Operations Services Enterprise Support Enterprise Engineering and Technical Support Services First Point of Contact help desk personnel will be organized into self-directed work teams, led by team-selected leads. Northrop Grumman s telephony solution, supporting skills-based routing, along with its incident management system, will allow teams to be formed along technology, agency, location, region, or other virtual boundary. These work teams can be reorganized as enterprise needs dictate. Additional support personnel within the help desk organization include quality assurance/root cause, reporting, and outage management. These personnel provide support for all processes and tools. Dedicated personnel also support the integration and interfaces of the help desk toolset with the specific systems to provide automated, proactive notification of significant incidents. Northrop Grumman s knowledge management system, Knova, is maintained by a team of content managers and subject matter experts. This confirms that knowledge content created for the First Point of Contact customer service analysts and customers is technically accurate, understandable and meets the established quality standards. The content managers are customer service analysts assigned to maintain developed knowledge. Subject matter experts create knowledge for help desk use to increase the number of incidents that can be resolved on the first contact. Process The Northrop Grumman help desk team will work closely with the Cross Functional Services Office to enable common processes, procedures and policies are implemented and fully documented across all teams. The Northrop Grumman help desk team will take the lead role in PAGE 2
4 the development of the incident management, problem management and root cause analysis processes for VITA. Help Desk Cross Functional Processes Northrop Grumman will establish and maintain a single enterprise wide problem and incident management system using Peregrine ServiceCenter. Early in the Transition phase, Northrop Grumman will establish procedures for addressing incidents and problems across all Eligible Customers, as well as develop notification and escalation rules for applicable service providers. Peregrine ServiceCenter will be used across all service providers to perform Incident Management, Problem Management, Root Cause Analysis, Request Management, and Work Management modules. In addition, the Peregrine Change Management Module will be used to track changes from initial request, analysis and scheduling to approval, execution and closure. The Change Management module provides a proactive, automated and integrated solution to infrastructure change control that minimizes business risks and promotes strategic planning for infrastructure management with repeatable, pre-defined processes and business rules. The reporting capabilities within Peregrine ServiceCenter will be used to provide metrics across service areas for all VITA agencies. The team will use Configuration and Release Management to maintain accurate inventory and will leverage the help desk to verify and audit configuration items. Centralized account management will provide the capability of requesting, approving and auditing accounts across the entire enterprise and all service areas. Electronic workflow will enable requests allow tracking and reporting. The reporting function will provide the capability of generating template and ad hoc reports. Customer service analysts are guided by the help desk standard operating procedures (SOP) document, which is part of the larger Operations Manual. PAGE 3
5 Northrop Grumman will develop and implement help desk standard operating procedures including the processes and associated procedures for effective operation of the help desk. The document describes the basic requirements for help desk operations and defines the expected outcomes. The documentation also includes a set of internal, management and customer metrics, referencing a library of measurements and reports that are contract and customer specific. Agency advocates, VITA, and Northrop Grumman personnel will work together to establish and maintain a set of fully documented procedures. This documentation, accessible by support personnel, will be used as one of the primary training tools for help desk personnel. This documentation explains workflows, such as escalated assistance and outage notification, and service-level definitions, thereby establishing customer expectations. Technology Help Desk Standard Operating Procedures General Information Guidelines Staffing Lifecycles Telephone Procedures Incident Handling Procedures Customer Issue Escalation and Notification Outage Management and Disaster Recovery Quality Assurance Tools Knowledge Management Help Desk Configuration Control Board Measurement Reporting Appendix A Account-Specific Information Appendix B Disaster Recovery/Backups Appendix C Glossary Appendix D Forms Exhibit 1. Standard Operating Procedures The Southwest ESC will include a robust solution set including telephony, incident and knowledge management systems, and esupport and Web enablement tools. The incident management system forms the central hub of Northrop Grumman s managed services solution; it will provide an enterprise-wide service desk for the Commonwealth of Virginia, initially supporting 67,223 seats, designed for growth and expansion, and integrated with all support services. This solution is an ITIL/ITSM-based incident management system, implementing incident, problem, and change, release, and configuration management components. The incident management system will be integrated to a suite of system management tools. The Northrop Grumman telephony solution includes a PBX switch and a complement of application servers including Integrated Voice Mail, Interactive Voice Response System and Call Management System. The telephony solution is mirrored in our [Security information redacted by the Commonwealth and as requested by Northrop Grumman] help desk facility for disaster recovery and survivability options, and shared processes and reporting capabilities. The advanced call routing features in Northrop Grumman s telephony solution enable leveraging across Northrop Grumman help desks and personnel through skills-based routing and dynamic best services routing. Northrop Grumman s centralized knowledge management solution is based on Knova as its knowledge management repository tool. The Knova tool is used to store, manage and maintain the IT-related technical knowledge of the customer environment. Knova is a Web-based PAGE 4
6 application running on a distributed Web server farm. Knova provides a user-friendly search engine that will search an entire document for the word, phrase, or concept being searched on. Access to Knova is also provided through the user portal. The self-service tool interacts with the end user and tracks the user s progress toward a solution. If the dialog becomes too cumbersome or does not resolve the problem, Knova has the capability to escalate directly into an incident record that can be directed to an analyst who will know where the end user experienced problems and assist from that point forward. After completion of the Southwest ESC, customer service analysts will continue to reside at the Richmond Enterprise Solutions Center. The help desk will receive end-user contacts at both locations. Should an event interrupt help desk telephony or network service at either location, the other will continue to receive calls. The production incident management system will be located at the Southwest ESC while the development/backup system will be located at the Richmond Enterprise Solutions Center, as depicted in Exhibit 2. Should incident management system service be interrupted, the backup system will assume the production role. This is accomplished through a mirroring strategy between the production and backup databases, to provide continuous help desk operations and sustained service-level performance. When normal operation of the interrupted service is restored, use of the production systems will resume with minimally perceived end-user disruption. Exhibit 2 Help Desk Data Replication The location of production and development Incident Management systems and Northrop Grumman s Storage Area Network data replication strategy provides a quick response to any service interruption or failure. PAGE 5
7 Centralized Account Administration ADDENDUM 5 TO APPENDIX 4 TO SCHEDULE 3.3 TO THE The Northrop Grumman technical approach provides consolidated framework for administering and managing user identities across the enterprise. The primary elements of the approach include: Real time provisioning (creating) of user accounts De-provisioning (deleting) of user accounts Self-service features Centralized audit information Integration of key systems via notification services Exchange automation that includes: Mailbox management Distribution list synchronization Schedule and ad hoc reporting Comprehensive auditing Staffing for Help Desk Service Area The Help Desk Support Services team provides the help desk, program management, VITA, and the end-user customer with the training, tools, knowledge, processes, and reports that provide improving help desk services delivery. Support Services staff includes: Software engineering specialists, who implement, integrate and support the IT service management toolset including incident, problem, request, change, and service-level management. Training analysts, who provide ongoing new employee training, develop and teach new or improved procedures, and assist knowledge, process and procedure development and maintenance. Outage management personnel are responsible for coordinating the resolution of highseverity incidents and are involved in the root-cause analysis (RCA) process. RCA/quality analysts are jointly responsible for root-cause analysis and help desk quality assurance. They review high-severity incidents and resolution to determine the cause of an incident or an extended resolution time. They work with the involved parties and oversee resolution procedure improvements or activities to eliminate future similar problems. Quality assurance responsibilities include the review of recently opened incidents, live or recorded listening to analyst/customer experiences, and procedures reviews, leading to identifying and acting on service improvement opportunities. Reporting analysts develop and deliver ad hoc and recurring incident, problem, service-level management reporting, and various service delivery-related internal Northrop Grumman performance reports. The help desk manager, senior administrative assistant, managers and most of the Support Services staff will be involved in the Effective Date to Service Commencement Date activities, hiring VITA personnel, developing the Procedures Manual, implementing the incident and knowledge management systems, developing training, and updating standard reports to fit specific Commonwealth needs. From Service Commencement Date through the Transition, the PAGE 6
8 help desk will complete the activities not finished prior to the Service Commencement Date, deliver and provide a minimally disrupted level of service from before Service Commencement Date, and conduct the activities necessary to complete the transformation of help desk services. PAGE 7

If you're a landowner who wants to restore the original ecosystem or to plant with native species that are best suited to your site, this is a good place to start. Good advice is also available from local nurseries specialising in native plants which can provide seedlings grown from locally-sourced seed.
You can view the planting lists by area, or use the interactive map below.The map shows different geographical areas in Tasman District.
The web map below has lots of areas and links to specific documents. Try zoom in or use the buttons in the top left to navigate to the area you want.
Then you can select a shaded region to access the planting list for that particular area.
You can also open the map in a new windowLoading content...
The planting lists describe the native plants that once grew on various sites, along with other useful information. Each list has plants grouped in four categories:
Each plant has its botanical name, Māori name and/or common name, its requirements for shelter, site and climate, and the sort of food (if any) it provides for birds and insects. They are sorted in alphabetical order by their botanical name.
At the start of each list is a brief description of its locality, topography, soils and geology, climate, coastal influence, original vegetation and degree of human modification.
There is also a key to assist landowners in selecting the species that best suit their site. It covers the preference of individual species for sunlight/shade, dry/wet soil, and frost tolerance. It also indicates the maximum height, useful information for those planting close to houses, boundaries, or overhead wires. There is also information on its value as a source of food for birds and insects.

The food highlight of the week has certainly been Thanksgiving. I made a Celebration Roast (I couldn't find Tofurky anywhere this year, so when with the Field Roast brand – I didn't like it nearly as much), green bean casserole with a homemade creamy mushroom soup, stuffing, mashers, mushroom gravy, tofu pot pie, fresh bread, cranberry/orange/cinnamon sauce, and pumpkin pie.
Other eats this week included smoothies, oatmeal, a bizarre meal with two of my kids, an Impossible Whopper, and plenty of leftovers.
I was cleared on Monday at a post-op appt to work out again. I ran Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and just finished a cardio spin workout in my garage. Feels good to move.
Well the week started with me getting my stitches removed. Doc came into my room 50 minutes after my appt time and asked how I was. "Annoyed" was my response. He was taken aback a bit, but just because he's a doctor, doesn't mean my time is less valuable. It really did screw up some of my schedule, but is what it is. But it is annoying. Anyway, stitches are out and the bruising is really fading. I have some gel I need to use for the next 3 months that will hopefully minimize scarring and help it heal normally. If not, then laser treatment, but so far I think it's looking pretty good.
I worked from home and, admittedly, didn't do a whole lot school wise. Guess I just needed a mental break.
Tuesday everyone played chess. M and I played an online Game Pigeon version. That evening, R played M and beat him. A played the winner (R) and beat her. Then A wanted to play M. While that happened the next day…this thread ensued first. This is how my children fight….
Wednesday R, M, and I went out for a very late lunch (around 230). After cleaning much of the day, really didn't want to cook!
Thursday was Thanksgiving, so I spent the day cooking (R had done the cleaning the day before). It was my kids, a couple of M's friends, my boyfriend, and his boys. It was a nice time – I do enjoy having a full house.
Friday was literally the laziest day I may have ever had. Ever. Kuma and I sat on the sofa and watched two episodes of Mandalorian. Then R and I (and a lazy Kuma) watched Finding Dory. I folded some wash, and then watched several NCIS episodes upstairs with Kuma and Luna. I can't remember the last time I watched that much TV in a month, much less a day! It was kind of nice, though I did feel like a bum.
Yesterday and today the plans I had fell through, so it's been fairly low key. Went to see Knives Out with two of the munchkins yesterday – it was SO good. Did a bit of school work and finished a really good audiobook. Today has so far been a workout and starting on school stuff. Imagine I'll do my weekly meal plan, shop if I need to, and do some bulk cooking for the week.

Pet Messes
What to use? Vinegar and Nature's Miracle enzyme treatment (sold in pet stores)
Of all the possible spills to happen to your rugs, pet urine and pet vomit are the worst. Because they go on hot and acidic, they actually re-dye the fibers, and "set" them at the same time. If you are not quick to clean up these will become permanent stains that will devalue your rug. You need to blot the stain, rinse and blot again. If the rug has dyes that show up on the towel in the first blotting step, then substitute a 50/50 Vinegar and water mixture for the Club Soda AND get the area only slightly damp – NOT wet. For pet feces, you must pick up as much as you can before you begin the Club Soda process.
Nature's Miracle – best thing to use
Natures Miracle helps remove some of the odor causing bacteria if misted on the pet spot areas on the rugs. Try not to over wet the area with, because over-saturating the rug with any product is never a good idea. If you have a large amount of pet urine it has most likely penetrated the wool or silk fiber and has gone down into the cotton foundation. the only chance you have to remove the odor will be to have the rug soaked completely in an enzyme solution. This cannot be done at home. You must call someone that specializes in rug cleaning.
Your best bet for treating all pet stains is cleaning the spot as soon as possible using the steps below:
- DO NOT USE: regular Carpet Spotters, Scrub Brushes, or baking Soda
- use these steps for fresh urine only
- If you have small spots use 50/50 mix white vinegar/cool water
- use a White or light colored cotton rag or towel
- Use a small to medium amount of solution.
- Blot then rinse then blot again
- Is there color on your towel? if yes stop now!
- apply cornstarch or salt to the area and let dry
- If there is no color on your rag?
- Repeat the above steps until stain is gone
- lift area of the spot so that air flows above and below it
- you can use you hair dryer on WARM ONLY
- Use fan on for 24-48 hours to dry cotton in foundation it will feel dry but keep it on anyway…… if you still have a stainapply cornstarch or salt
- is there still an odor? mist again with Natures Miracle, do NOT over saturate.
- Extra large fresh urine spots ( 15lb up)
- use a shop vacuum to extract vacuuming til almost dry- do not scrub
- Apply a 50/50 mix of white vinegar/cool water and follow directions above on small spots
OLD Urine Stains: it is too difficult to coach you through the treatment process as there is high risk of damage to the rug without proper training.

The Sysma (Finland) Viking hoard of 1870 contained 6 Islamic,
15 English, and 76 German coins.
photo: Daderot
After reading a news report about the recent analysis of a ring with an Islamic inscription in a Swedish Viking hoard it did not come as a great surprise that it did not mention the large number of Islamic coins that have been found in Viking (Norse) hoards over the years. It was common numismatic knowledge, I knew about this as a child. It seemed like a typical "hyped" article, and a reader could be forgiven for thinking that the ring is the only firm confirmation of such distant contacts after reading: "Ancient texts mention contact between Scandinavians and members of Islamic civilization, but such archaeological evidence is rare. "Being the only ring with an Arabic inscription found at a Scandinavian archaeological site, it is a unique object among Swedish Viking Age material,"".
Looking at the source of the report, I was rather surprised to see that it was from the Archaeological Institute of America. Surely such an organization could cut through the initial hype and say something like "While the ring is a unique item for a Viking hoard, Islamic coins are actually rather common in such hoards." Its absence was such a surprise that I even started to doubt what I had been hearing since I was a child, but a quick web search soon validated my memories. By far, the best thing I found on my Google search was: Islamic Coin Hoards and the Trade Routes: How Dirham Reached the North by Dr. Aram Vardanyan, Institute of Oriental Studies, Yerevan, Armenia, and this paper tells me that Sweden has recorded 70,000 Islamic dirham finds in recent years and leads the northern countries list of more than 114,000 such coin finds.
The original paper certainly does not hide the fact of such coin discoveries, but tries to separate the importance of the ring from them as it seems to be a product that was fairly new when it was buried and the coins are usually worn and sometimes cut or broken for "smaller denominations". This does not explain, though, why such coins were not mentioned in the AIA article and how that could question their statement: "Ancient texts mention contact between Scandinavians and members of Islamic civilization, but such archaeological evidence is rare.". Then it dawned on me, the AIA restrict publication of anything that was not the result of an archaeological excavation. By projecting this policy to all archaeology, accidental finds like the Sysma hoard that was uncovered by a plough cannot be spoken about at all. So (by their standards) archaeological evidence is rare. Would the public understand this? Of course not. The AIA's ideas of "political correctness" gives the uninformed public reader a very different picture of the importance of the discovery.
Part two of this short series will appear on Wednesday as tomorrow's post is a "special". In it I will give much more of the Islamic links to the Vikings and NW Europe in general, including some of the medieval (not "ancient" history) and a bit about a modern "novel" about the subject that seems to deliberately confuse such histories.

Please respond directly to Mary Tkach at Aveda "email@example.com" if you
have factoids to share on the energy and pollution benefits of using
postconsumer hdpe instead of virgin plastics. Thank you.
-- Cindy Pollock Shea Contributing Editor Florida Sustainable Communities Network http://sustainable.state.fl.us
attached mail follows:
Dear Cindy,
Peter Anderson suggested I contact you.
I am looking for some "factoids" about the benefits of using postconsumer recycled plastics vs. virgin plastics. especially as it relates to HDPE.
Something like, "If every household in the USA used shampoo that packaged in X% postconsumer plastic, we could save XX gallons of oil, reduce air pollution by xx tons, conserve xx gallons of process water, etc."
Do you have this kind of information or know where I might find it? I've looked in a lot of places, but have been unsuccessful.
Many thanks, Mary Tkach

Vegan Chocolate Brownies
- Oct 18, 2018
- 0 Comment(s)
Time to get a chocolate hit and they are vegan..
- 1 large flax egg or equivalent egg substitute
- 1 can low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 medium to large ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup rice malt syrup
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 to 2 teaspoons of Adaptogen Beauty & Radiance
- 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling on finished product
- 1/3 cup of finely chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8×8 inch baking pan.
Place flax egg, black bean, avocado, vanilla, and rice malt syrup and process in a food processor until smooth.
Add in cocoa powder, coconut oil, baking soda, and baking powder, walnuts and process again until smooth. Batter will be thick. If batter is way too thick and won't process, you can add in a tablespoon or two of almond milk.
This batter needs to be very thick in order to produce fudgy brownies. Fold in chocolate chip or sprinkle onto batter then transfer to prepared pan and use a spatula to spread evenly to sides.
Sprinkle top of batter with 2 tablespoons of remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for 22-30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out somewhat clean.
You don't want these to dry out, but you also don't want them completely raw either! Cool pan completely on wire rack then cut into 12 bars.

This short book is a very good introduction to the emerging field of the study of plant "intelligence". I have to put the term between quotes because as currently defined, "intelligence" is heavily biased in favor of animal life. However, the undeniable truth is that plants display many traits that we usually associate with animals; this is the central theme of the book.
Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the basic facts about the history of our relationship with plants, including our perception of plants as "second class citizens" on this planet. Chapters 3 and 4 talk about the senses that plants use to "observe" the world and some insights on how plants communicate. Chapter 5 is a quite exciting and more speculative chapter on the idea of plant "intelligence". I was disappointed at a section on how plants can help us understand possible extraterrestrial intelligence, the section was less than two pages long!
The book was very well written, but it lacked an index, which makes the process of looking for information in it much more onerous. Also, the notes style is rather annoying in the sense that they are not numbered; one has to "hunt" for the appropriate passage, again, making finding precise information much more difficult. The premise of this book had so much promise; it is a shame that its shortness and design does not do the topic much justice. I hope that a more extensive version gets written eventually.

Why Download a Care Sheet?
These are invaluable for beginners who may either be overwhelmed by the amount of incorrect information out there on the internet or not sure where to start. As a trusted supplier of exotic pets (and exotic pet keepers ourselves) we hope beginners will be able to draw on our many years experience.
We especially advise parents to download our care sheets if they're thinking of getting an exotic pet so they can run through what's needed to take care of an exotic pet with their child.
More experienced keepers may also want to download the care sheets as an aide memoir or to check out some of the new equipment suggestions we've included.
What's in the Care Sheet?
We're looking to include information about feeding, housing, heating, along with any other general information which you might find useful. Where we can we'll also link off to relevant product suggestions that we use ourselves!
The care sheets are not a textbook on looking after the animals but should be seen as a starting point on your journey to many happy years looking after exotic pets.
You can download the Chilean Rose Care Sheet here.
If you've got any questions about our Chilean Rose Care Sheet or suggestions for the next care sheet then you're more than welcome to drop the shop in Rock Ferry, we'd love to see you in person!

Do you have a pilgrim you want to sponsor for the women's walk? Many applications have already been received and space is limited, so get applications in as soon as possible. Applications need to be completed by the pilgrim, sponsor and pastor and a check for the $30 application fee. If you are unsure about sponsorship responsibilities, contact any NLE board member.
Don't forget this week is the Emmaus board meeting. Thursday at 6:30 at the Olive Garden in Decatur. Hope all board members can make it as we prepare for the upcoming women's walk this fall.
After a day off in the middle of the week most of us have made plans for the remainder of the week. Are you on vacation, or just a day off or did you have to go back to work today, you should have a plan. So my thought for the day is: "What plans do I need to release to God Today?" Think about it and may your day be blessed…..
What are your plans today? Here is a thought for today…Today I will be an example of Christ's love and share it with everyone I meet…
Just a reminder our monthly gathering is this Thursday at 6:30 at the Church at Stones River in Decatur. Hope to see you there.
NLE is accepting applications for the ladies Fall Walk have you decided who you will sponsor? Have you started praying for God to put that lady on your heart? Meet with God today and ask who shall I send…..
Just A Thought…
With a long weekend on the horizon have you thought about how you will approach each day? How do you approach the day do you ask how God can use you each day? Do you trust the Holy Spirit to make your heart and mind receptive to his inspired words? Do you take time before church each Sunday to ask the Lord to make you attentive to the preacher so that you become a doer of the Word? Before you go to church this week, make sure to pray for your heart to be opened, then discuss what you learned from the sermon afterwards with friends or family. May your days be blessed….
The NLE Gathering is this week on Thursday, May 17. Please join us at 6:30 for food and fellowship. Our meeting place will be Church Stone Rivers. All past pilgrims, community and their families are encouraged to be a part of this great fellowship time. Please join us!!
Scripture Reading — Luke 24:13-24
As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him. — Luke 24:15-16
How could the disciples on the Emmaus road not recognize Jesus? They were returning from Jerusalem, where Jesus had been arrested, tried, tortured, crucified, and buried. Now his body was gone, amid rumors flying that he had risen from the grave.
Just a week earlier they probably had walked with Jesus as he rode a colt into Jerusalem. They had hoped he would declare himself king and take up the ancient throne of David. But instead he was arrested, sentenced, and then crucified. And now they heard tell of an empty tomb and a missing body! As they wandered home to Emmaus, they wondered about what might have been.

Just a note to let you know that the NLE Board Meeting date has changed. We will be meeting on the 2nd Thursday of the month starting in May. Meeting will be held at the same location in Decatur the Olive Garden. The date is May 10th please mark your calendars.

The Mountain West has a pair of national cable contracts with CBS Sports Network and ESPN.
CBS is considered to be the "primary" TV partner. CBS will be able to choose the top eight football games each year, then alternate with ESPN for the rest of their picks. This package is for up to 22 games. CBS's contract runs through the 2019-20 athletic year.
ESPN's package also runs through the 2019-20 athletic year and includes the rights to Boise St. home games. At least three Boise St. football games will air on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2. ESPN can choose the platform of its choice for all other Boise St. home games. No more than three Boise St. home games can be moved to a weeknight. ESPN will have up to 22 football games including the Boise St. home games. ESPN does have the ability to trade one Boise St. home game per year to CBS in exchange for a Boise St. road games at a Mountain West opponent.
The contract for the conference's championship game is with ESPN and runs through the 2019 game. The game will air on ESPN or ESPN2.
The official regional television partner is AT&T Sports Rocky Mountain, formerly ROOT Sports Rocky Mountain, who will produce around 10 football games annually. Stadium also works with the conference to produce games that will be streamed through the Moutain West Digital Network and Facebook.
ESPN and CBS select up to two more games each once AT&T Sports and Stadium select games for their packages, meaning ESPN and CBS could show up to 24 games.
Hawai'i does not receive money from the MW TV contract unless all other Mountain West schools receive $2.3 million from the conference TV contracts. Instead, they receive revenue from a contract with Spectrum Cable, formerly Oceanic Cable in Hawai'i. The contract requires at least seven games per year to be provided to the cable provider and ends after the 2019-20 athletic year.

Why do you cry when connecting with your Angel?
Why do you cry when connecting with your Angel?
As I am sure you can imagine I get a lot of questions asked and often they are the same few. One of the ones I get asked a lot especially after people have done my Meet Your Guardian Angel Meditation is why do you cry when connecting with your Angel?
It is not uncommon to cry when you meet your Angel. Not because it is scary and an unpleasant experience, in fact quite the opposite.
Meeting a heavenly being
So, why do you cry when connecting with your Angel? When you meet your Angel you are meeting a heavenly being, something you have never done before in this life time. They are like nothing you will have experienced before. Angels are not your loved ones in spirit they are a much higher vibration than that and meeting them is often very difficult to put in to words.
Their love for you is so unconditional, their energy is immense and can feel so beautiful it can move you to tears. Having that sense of being loved, understood and cared for in a way you have never experienced before is so awesome, no wonder so many cry.
How to meet your Angel
If you have not met your Guardian Angel and would like to, click below to download your copy of my meditation while I am giving it away for free.
If you would like to learn more my monthly membership site Abundance Club is a low cost way to spiritually develop and learn to manifest the life you dream of. Find out more about your Angel in Abundance Club.
There is nothing more special that the relationship with your Angel, they can help you with everything as long as you ask.

Hi Amanda, I messaged you immediately after I met my Angel Simon.
I did cry, and I remembered reading that this might happen, and yes you describe it well, seeing as I read it just now.
Thank you so very much for the guided meditation so I could meet my guardian angel
Mel on 28th September 2016 at 2:11 pm
I cried as well. The second time I did your meditation I didn't cry and asked if I had the name right. My guardian angel made it perfectly clear that I did by saying his response twice. IT is, IT is!. I couldn't help but smile and say back—I GOT IT! I GOT IT! & THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Both experiences were beautiful Amanda and I'm grateful for you sharing your love with the world. I've written a book under a pen name about signs and messages received, Balboa Publishing/Hay House, but I didn't know exactly who showed me these signs. With your help I've learned so much. The whole upstairs had something to do with the messages I received. I understand it better, but still am a young student.

I cried this morning when I contacted haiyael I never cry as I am tough guy type
Chelle on 13th April 2018 at 4:26 pm
Today after such an awful night of confusing dreams, followed by an anxiety ridden morning of tears and upset I just couldn't put my finger on why I was feeling this way. I decided to do a meditation to connect with my spirit guide. I am so overwhelmed that it has brought me to the internet in search of answers which is how I found you. I had tears streaming down my face during the meditation and I seriously can not tell you why it explain it… I was just so overcome and overwhelmed with… I don't know really…. but it wasn't sadness. It almost felt like finally meeting up with someone I had loved and longed for all my life… Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing some clarity to the situation. There is so much more to our universe that meets the eye.
Michael K on 7th January 2019 at 5:21 am
I always talk to my angels and Im always asking for help and guidance. It feels cool to get a chill or goosebumps when talking to them. But tonight i was talking away as normal and suddenly i just had the urge to cry, it was amazing i cant describe it but i do know i felt so happy after it happened. Thats why i came here and saw this page thank you for explaining it so well
