text: The Benefits of Hiring a Qualified Technician for Maintenance Posted September 12, 2018 If the thought of servicing your air conditioner by yourself has come up, you aren't the only one. While it's tempting, trying to tune up your own air conditioner could end up costing more money if you make a mistake. Your machine is more complicated than you might think. Even if you don't know the first thing about air conditioners, you might be thinking about skipping your annual appointment to save some cash. That could also lead to more expensive results. Maybe you haven't had any challenges with your system recently, but things change. Whether you're contemplating doing maintenance yourself or skipping it altogether, take a look at some of the benefits with selecting a qualified technician to take a look at your system: Technicians have the right training: As the internet has given us access to a lot of information and guidance, it won't provide the education an expert gets from certified institutions.

PhD defended at:
The story of Indian agriculture under liberalisation has been written about most commonly as a story of crisis, especially for the landless and small and marginal farmers. Based within a critical agrarian political economy framework, this thesis shifts the focus to capital and studies how agrarian accumulation in India has been reconfigured by liberalisation of the economy. It has done this by studying the accumulation strategies of capitalist farmers in Punjab, the archetypal Green Revolution state of the country, through year-long mixed methods fieldwork in and around a major market town of the state.
The research has concluded that agrarian accumulation is continuing in Punjab under liberalisation, although it is more precarious than before. State procurement of wheat and paddy from Punjab's wholesale markets continues to be a major factor supporting this. Some capitalist farmers have also been able to create new spaces for accumulation under the changed circumstances, not least through selective engagement with corporates' strategies. Therefore, I argue that there is no overarching agrarian crisis in India. At the same time, risks have multiplied as various other forms of State support have been reduced while some more are in the pipeline. Moreover, older strategies of expanding accumulation or averting risk, as the case may be, by investing in land or non-agricultural avenues have been marred by the conditions in the wider economy and have become increasingly less accessible to even many capitalist farmers. The research also finds that agricultural markets are crucial to the process of agrarian accumulation in Punjab. The focus on multiple commodities shows that farmers must negotiate different kinds of market structures over a single agricultural year in order to accumulate within agriculture. These markets involve different risks and carry different kinds of significance for capitalist farmers. An understanding of agrarian capitalism in Punjab, therefore, needs to account for its agro-commercial actors and processes more than it has so far. Finally, although the focus of this study has been on capitalist farmers and not the entire spectrum of agrarian classes, the findings also suggest continuing differentiation among the landowning classes.

Falmec cooker hoods - A breath of fresh air
As appealing as cooking smells can sometimes be an extractor is required to fulfil building regulations in new builds, extensions and renovations so why not invest in the latest technology from Falmec Twister. At first glance, this may appear an expensive option. However, with no need for ugly or hidden expensive ducting, this beautiful piece of essential kitchen equipment speaks for itself. It's a multifunctional item which is stylish, aesthetically pleasing and superbly efficient, making it far more desirable than other extraction methods.
The Mare, Twister, Zephiro and Marilyn all use a unique groundbreaking E.ion technology which offers a unique solution to cooking odours by eliminating up to 95%. It also cleans the air by destroying bacteria, spores, allergens and cigarette smoke. A sensor monitors the air quality of the air and when it drops the leaf-shaped sensor turns from green to yellow. Once the air quality has been restored by the appliance the leaf returns to green. Ions have a positive effect on the mind and the body, resulting in improved mood and concentration, thereby improving the quality of life.
Designed to be more environmentally friendly with no ducting, so warm or cool air is not lost and expelled into the atmosphere. No ducting also means you have the freedom to position this beautiful extractor where you want it. A particularly attractive option with the ever-popular Island cooking zone. Activate the automatic mode to allow the extractor to monitor the air throughout the day, when it detects a drop-in air quality it will activate the extractor automatically, switching on to purify the air. Thereby saving energy and only operating when needed.
Carbon.zeo filtration is a specialist recirculation filter that combines carbon and zeolite neutralise odours and absorb moisture. The long-life filter can be regenerated to last up to 3 years. Simply place the filter in the oven at 200 degrees c for 2 hours every 18 months.
Each of the extractors incorporates a metallic grease filter, for easy cleaning, optional cable extension and adjustable wires for perfect positioning and LED lighting which converts the extractor to an eye-catching stylish lighting piece to illuminate your kitchen.
Italy is synonymous with design and these Stylish, elegant and sophisticated extractors are no exception. Each one is made with specific quality materials, the Mare is made of glass in a choice of white or black, The Marilyn has a white handmade ceramic canopy and the Twister is produced in brushed aluminium is a titanium or mat black finish. Without a doubt, no matter which one of these you invest in it will enhance your kitchen by design.

Colin Kaepernick has had trouble getting a job in the NFL. Up until this week, the media and his supporters claimed this was due to racism. Now it's due to collusion. But is it? We'll let the numbers tell the story.
Let's start with the basics:
What Makes A Quarterback?
A quarterback is more than their ratings. A quarterback is the on-field commander, the leader who improves the entire team. In short, a quarterback should improve the team by more than just his own numbers.
But, in addition, the quarterback:
- Is the face of the team for the fans, more about the team than about himself.
- As a team leader, supports and interprets the coach and management
In short, the quarterback is the most important player on the field, because the quarterback is the team to the fans and represents the players writ at large.
As A Face For The Team
Regardless of his passing and rushing, Kaepernick clearly divided the nation. In fact, months after he was no longer playing, Kaepernick got significant credit for the Ravens and Jaguars kneeing for the U.S. Anthem in London, and then (and yes, if you're not on the extreme left, this is a kicker…) standing for the British anthem!
That wasn't him; he wasn't even on that continent. But that is his legacy. Not as a 49ers quarterback, but as the guy that made it fashionable for millionaire Americans to dis America's anthem but stand for England's.
Polls also suggest that fans have a hard time sympathizing with millionaires claiming to be victims of the U.S. Kaepernick He made $10.4M in 2015 alone.
Those "Police Pig" Socks
As CBS Sports reported, before his protests became major news, Kaepernick had been wearing socks vilifying law enforcement… specifically depicting them as pigs. And it did insult Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations , which represents 240,000 active law enforcement officers in a coalition of police unions and associations from across the country.
Kaep even stated his intent, ostensibly about "rogue cops", although you'd be hard-pressed to see that in the sock images.
Kaepernick did wear interesting socks all along during practice. These weren't worn during a televised game. If not for the rest of Kaepernick's context, it would be reasonable to believe that these were just a poor choice from among many choices.
But they certainly are not a point in favor of Kaepernick as The Face to The Fans.
The Castro Shirt
Kaepernick also alienated Cuban-American fans for wearing a shirt with Fidel Castro on it. Upset fans pointed out that Castro (and Cuba) are far worse for human rights than the U.S. police are. As George Diaz stated,
There is no question that racial inequality needs to be a topic of conversation in the United States. But that gets us back to Cuba, where such conversations can get you in prison.
Again, not the best unifying team face.
Driving Away The Fans
As the face of the team, the last thing the quarterback should do is alienate fans. But Kaepernick has done that. According to the Bleacher Report, 20% of football executives considered him a terrible player, but another 20% considered him an alienating risk they couldn't afford.
Of course the Bleacher Report calls it "The crime of speaking his mind"… so let's cover that…
The Right To Free Speech
The running narrative on his protests is that he has the Constituional Right to protest. Well, not quite.
This is covered in depth in our article, First Amendment Protections. Kaepernick has the right to go into a public square and say whatever he wants, without Federal interference. He also has the right to publish whatever he wants on paper (that he pays for), also without interference.
But that's not what he did or is trying to do. You cannot force someone else to pay for your speech. You cannot force them to provide you a place to speak. You cannot force them to hire you after you say something offensive.
For example, if you worked as a clerk at a grocery store, you could be fired for:
- Being offensive
- Advertising, even if on your own time, for a competitor
- Being politically incorrect (creating a hostile work environment)
- Wearing a shirt the boss doesn't like.
While you are free to speak, you aren't free to do it everywhere, nor without consequence.
(For what it's worth, the National Anthem wasn't televised before games until relatively recently. And the Player's Handbook does require players stand for it. These seem like peripheral issues given Kaepernick's performance, below.)
Bottom Line: Kaepernick was not a good "face" for the average or the non-political fan.
Kaepernick as a Team Leader
It would be hard to find a worse team leader than Kaepernick.
When San Francisco replaced coach Jim Tomsula with Chip Kelly in January of 2016, Kaepernick didn't even wait a month before announcing that he wanted to be traded. (February 2016.) This could only be considered a vote of no-confidence in the new Head Coach.
Suppose, after a company re-org, you got a new boss. And loudly proclaimed you wanted a transfer. Just how would your new boss respond? Would your co-workers feel you believed in the current "regime?" That's not being a good team member, or lead.
And then, in October 2016 he negotiated an exit clause (another sign of disloyalty), and a scant two months later he exercised it, quitting his player-option in the deal.
And, let's not forget that in 2015 and 2016, Kaepernick managed only 2-6 and 1-10. Blaine Gabbert did better, at 3-5 and 1-4.
For the stats-minded, that's:
Not to put too fine a point on it, but for the last two years, even Gabbert did twice as well as Kaepernick in leading the 49ers.
Bottom Line: Kaepernick may be about as poor a team leader as is possible to find.
How Good Was Kaepernick
This is the elephant in the room. To hear his friends and some (but not all) of the media describe him, Kaepernick was incredibly good. We do have those inconvenient win/loss numbers above, but oddly those don't seem to matter to Kaepernick's fans. So how good is he really?
Initially, in 2012, Kaepernick was very good. Unfortunately, he was very good as a running Q.B., not as a pocket-passer. Running-Q.B.s have a short life span. Their style is adjusted to, and they take hits which quickly degrades their bodies. Pocket passers don't have those problems.
(Incidentally, three years ago Joe Montana told USA Today that Colin Kaepernick needed to improve as a pocket passer. Kaepernick disagreed. That probably tells you all you need to know.)
His passing record is 59.8, but 2012 was his best year, behind the 2nd best scoring defense and 3rd best total defense team that year.
His completion percentage was only around 40% when throwing in the pocket, way below standard. He only passed for 187 yards/game last season, with mediocre completion, on easy passes… reportedly relatively simple routes and short throws compared to the norm.
In his last season with S.F. they went 2-14. You may not be able to blame him entirely, but clearly he can't elevate a team.
For 2016, he threw for a mere 187 yards a game last season; Football Outsiders rated him at 30 of 32 quarterbacks. He was dreadful by most measures, although #4 for rushing. He was 29 for DYAR, or Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement and 30 for DVOA, or Defense-adjusted Value Over Average. Really, being in the bottom three for these measurements is not good. And ESPN has him as dead-last in Passing, #30 of 30, with him overall at 49.2, or #23 of 30. He was #28 of 30 for EPA (Expected Points Added.) But let's focus on what you think a quarterback does… that dead-last pass number… which is described as expected points added on plays with pass attempts… not only was he dead last but he was the only playerwith a negative number. The average, excluding Colin Kaepernick, was 48.5, while Colin Kaepernick managed a -0.3. No kidding.
For his career, he has completed fewer than 60 percent of his passes. Last season, 24 passers completed more than 60 percent. Kaepernick, at 59.2 percent, was ranked 26th. If you're below 60 percent, you're a fringe guy.
He was even worse the year before. In 2015, he was 35 of 37 in DYAR and 34 of 37 for DVOA, but only #15 on rushing.
Let that sink in. Kaepernick was in the bottom three, in the bottom 10%, meaning 90% of NFL quarterbacks were better, for the last two years in comparative terms, using two admittedly synthetic, but best-of-breed, statistical analysis.
And for a fun stat: Last December (2016) against the Bears, Kaepernick became the first QB in league history to be sacked five times and throw for fewer than five yards in a game.
What About Team Quality
It's certainly the case that the 49ers were going through significant challenges during this period. San Franscisco did poorly in 2014, ending 8-8. In 2015, SF went 5-11, but yet they found a way to do even worse in 2016 and landed at 2-14.
Kaepernick wasn't all that great either. But the 2015 meltdown may have been due to new coach Jim Tomsula; it was in week 8 that Kaepernick fell apart and Blain Gabbert replaced him as starting Q.B. But then Kaepernick fell out of the rest of the season with an injured shoulder.
Note: Injuries cost money and wins.
San Francisco replaced coach Jim Tomsula with Chip Kelly, hired on 14 Jan 2016. Kaepernick announced he wanted to be traded in February 2016, which could only be considered a vote of no-confidendence in the new Head Coach. Um… what would you expect to come of that?
The 2016 QBs were Blaine Gabbert, Colin Kaepernick and Christian Ponder.
A quarterback is supposed to be a leader, rallying the team to victory above and beyond his own performance. From 2014 through 2016, Kaepernick managed to go 8-8, 2-6 and 1-10. A potted plant could accomplish this. Although, in fairness, Blaine Gabbert couldn't; for 2015 and 2016, he managed 3-5 and 1-4. Technically better numbers than Kaepernick, but not by much.
Why Is He Jobless (Hint: He quit!)
Some talking points:
- Kaepernick lost the 49ers Starting Q.B. role and became backup Q.B. before he started his anthem protests
- He quit his contract to become a free agent; he wasn't fired and didn't stay to the end of his contract.
He opted out of his contract with San Francisco; he wasn't fired but rather quit to become a "free agent". That matters; in December of 2016 he quit a contract that he signed in June 4 2014, a six-year contract extension with the 49ers, worth up to $126 million, including $54 million in potential guarantees, and $13 million fully guaranteed. So he could have been set through 2020, but threw it away. Instead, on October 13, 2016, he and SF "restructured" his contract into a two-year deal with player option, which he then turned down.
(Interestingly, in late 2017, SF 49ers GM John Lynch stated that the team was planning on releasing him regardless of the decision Kap made. )
Kaepernick was in discussion with the Ravens for a job, that may have been lost due to a tweet from his girlfriend. Reportedly, Nessa Diab compared Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, to a slave master and Ray Lewis an Uncle Tom on twitter. Even if not fully true, the optics of this would reduce his appeal to management.
In early December last year, a columnist warned about him opting out of his contract because he "set an NFL record for quarterbacking futility". "In a 26-6 loss to the Bears, Kaepernick became the first QB in league history to be sacked five times and throw for fewer than five yards in a game. In addition, Kaepernick and Gabbert combined for negative-six net passing yards, including yardage lost on sacks, for the 49ers' lowest mark in that category since 1963"
What About Other "Great" Quarterbacks?
On 13-June-2017, Sports Cheat Sheet published a list of 25 Big-Name NFL Players Who Are Still Unemployed. Of these 25, four were quarterbacks. Of course, Kaepernick. But also…
- Jay Cutler, who had been with the Bears
- Robert Griffin III, who has only briefly, and years ago, started with the Browns
- Johnny Manziel, also of the Browns.
There are plenty of good reasons for each person on this list to be working… and plenty of good reasons why they aren't. Manziel alone could make for a novel of career self-destruction. But the point is, this was four quarterbacks listed as among the top 25 out-of-work players, and… only Jay Cutler has found work for this season, and that's just a one-year contract with the Dolphins.
What Makes Racism or Collusion?
To be racism, the decision not to hire must have been based solely on race.
To win the collusion charges, Kaepernick will have to prove explicit intent to screen him out.
Importantly, teams can choose, legally, to not sign Kaepernick because of his outspoken politics. That is perfectly legal. There are no "First Amendment" protections to the workplace; the First Amendment applies to the Federal government only.
Collusion: What's It Take To Win?
Keep in mind that Kaepernick filed a collusion complaint with the NFL Player's Association (NFLPA).
Normally (outside of the NFL), collusion is based on Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. But the NFL is under a collection agreement (the union contract), which specifies it differently: Under the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, "collusion" is defined as a club entering into any agreement, express or implied, with any other club or the league to not sign any particular player.
He will need to prove, in writing, that he was deselected by agreement; that he was such a superstar that collusion is the only explanation.
And this is before an arbitrator, not a judge in court, so he doesn't have as much right to evidence. Section 17 declares that the NFL and the NFLPA (the union) will agree upon an independent "system arbitrator". But it is not a court of law. Federal rules of evidence, but not of pretrial discovery, apply. No subpeonas, no warrants.
In his favor is that, while he turned down some jobs, that can't be used to prove lack of collusion.

Lipinski Announces Grant for Community Nurse Health Center in La Grange (September 15, 2017)
Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3) is announcing that the Community Nurse Health Center in La Grange has been awarded a grant through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The organization will receive $175,701 to support expanded access to mental health and substance abuse services, including the treatment, prevention, and awareness of opioid abuse. Community Nurse currently provides medical, psychiatric, behavioral, and dental care - as well as health education and eligibility assistance - for over 5,000 low-income children and families in the western suburbs.
"There is no one more deserving of federal support than the Community Nurse Health Center in La Grange," said Rep. Lipinski. "During my recent visits to their facility I saw the great care that they provide people who often have nowhere else to turn for help. This grant to support their care for people dealing with mental health and substance abuse issues will help them continue the great work they have been doing for almost a century. Congress cannot solve the national opioid crisis on its own, but it can certainly help give various groups and organizations some assistance in confronting a difficult issue that is still not getting enough attention. I promise to continue to fight for more support for community health centers and for a growing problem that no neighborhood is immune to."
"We are so pleased to be awarded supplemental funding to address local mental health and substance abuse needs," said Community Nurse CEO Angela Curran. "We are grateful for the investment of additional resources so we can better meet the need for coordinated and integrated care that addresses physical and mental health and the devastating effects of substance abuse on local residents."
It was announced earlier this month that Community Nurse will be merging with Pillars, effective January 1st, 2018. Pillars is the largest nonprofit provider of mental health and social services in the western and southwestern suburbs. They currently serve 10,000 people each year through 30 programs across mental health, addictions, domestic and sexual violence, and child and family services.

Just in case you didn't know, helicopters don't glide very well. There have been a rash of medical helicopter crashes lately, which makes some people wonder if they are used too often. This issue is being investigated, and the use of air ambulances is down. So either the number of serious illness and injuries are down (doubtful) or the choppers are flying less. Hmm… why would anyone call for an airlift when it wasn't needed?
Don't go here for your medical information, they'll scare you half to death. And don't always believe these guys. And if you are looking for drug information, don't look here. Check out Medscape instead. It's FREE, and Medscape has a much better drug reference page.

I think I know why he is the Happy Hospitalist… he leaves all his frustrations on his blog. Here, Happy tells the story of the guy who thinks that free = more. I'll take an eye exam, and a rotator cuff repair, with a side order of dental. Oh, and clean out my earwax, too; someone else is paying for it! The costs add up – an implantable defibrillator costs almost as much as some people make in a year. And when you consider this, you realize that our financial situation is just going to get worse. Pay off those credit cards, folks!
Maybe they'll let us use a spider as payment.
Sometimes though, especially around the holidays, what we really need is a friend.
It's almost Thanksgiving Day, and I'm spending Thursday with the family. Friday, a friend and I were supposed to just have lunch together, but she has the entire day off! So I'll be away most of Friday, too. Have a safe, happy, and wonderful Thanksgiving; and remember to be kind to your fellow man and your four legged friends.
And don't forget, Saturday is Red and Blue Day!
Always yours;

Testimony of Christopher M
The testimony was sentenced to 25 years in prison
Confession of a man who went to prison for years for the evil that was doing. I was a man living without God. My God was money, and so confessed. I had a wonderful family, wife, daughter, and I could tell you everything you need for happiness. I was wrong, deceitful man. In my heart it was not love. In general I did not know what true love is! With my dad was divided, because I thought that I'm the smartest. Dear my marriage parted ways due to increasing long stay in prison, which he did in a sense his.
I can also say that I was an empty man, I had the name of being alive, and I was dead, because I have not lived spiritually, but then still did not know. Today, by the grace of God I live, I have a name and I'm not dead. In prison I met God on Christian meetings conducted by the Pentecostal church. When I first came to the meeting, all I heard was foreign to me. I came, I listened, and so slowly born August faith in me. This belief has made me believe in God and I believe God today, and this is a significant difference.
I wanted a change of life, I realized that I wanted to live normally without thievery. I wanted to experience the living God in my life, because if others say they do not steal, have love in your heart and that God made, why do not I take advantage of this. Increasingly, prayed and cried out to the living God. Jesus Christ is true God took pity on me and it is grace that I was granted a cheater.
In my heart, but there was no forgiveness, and even something I never knew. In 1988 he came to the prison evangelist from Sweden, who spoke about God, love and forgiveness. When finished talking, he pointed at me and said that I came. He said that the Holy Spirit showed him that I need help because I do not have a heart of forgiveness. And it was true because I could not communicate with my dad, we had a good relationship. The evangelist prayed for me, I could forgive. Then really wanted to in my heart and mind, there has been a transformation. After the prayer I wrote a letter to my dad , asking him for forgiveness. Jesus Christ has poured into my heart love, because this is clearly felt. When a year has passed since writing the letter, my dad came to me and shook hands. At the outset, he asked, " if I believe in God"? I replied that if the dad said he is on vision. He forgave me everything, by the grace of God, we became best friends. All the time I visited, and so was the end of 2004, because in January 2005 he died, and my mother died four years earlier. The fact that now I believe God is and knows how to forgive, it made Jesus Christ and the glory be to Him forever and ever.
My own ideas of life led me to prison. I was in all that bad, as evidenced sentence me to 25 years imprisonment. Only now in jail know what is life, " free life ". Here in jail I became a free man thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ. Entrusted their lives to Jesus Christ and became a new man.
In prison, I began to tease disease. At times I had enough of everything, just getting out mentally. I had ulcerated stomach and duodenum. I could not walk, his legs refused to obey, he started to give themselves felt the spine. Got to the point that I was forced to take injections three times a day , because I almost was not able to function. Those who saw it told me that my eyes were no longer living. I took a huge amount of drugs. I received a referral to the hospital, where I was told that the rest of my life I can not eat anything baked, because I have very damaged stomach and that they are not able to help me otherwise.
I prayed to God, I cried out for help. God healed the stomach and duodenum. A study was conducted after an illness left no trace. All now I can eat and I'm not wrong, baked dishes did me no harm. After such quantities of drugs, which I accepted, I should have broken the wall of the stomach and duodenum, and there was nothing. Only God could do this miracle . Medicine did not give me any chance, unfortunately, increasingly legs refused to obey. The doctor said that surgery is necessary, because formed blockages in the veins. I agreed because of the pain I could not stand it. I discouraged the operation, said that the doctor who operates in this prison is simply a butcher. Even the employees of the prison to me discouraged.
In prayer, I turned to the living God, Jesus Christ, that he was present during the operation. I believed God that everything will be fine. And so it happened. The doctor put special and operations carried out properly, which even aroused astonishment of other doctors. Today, I run like a teenager. Hand surgeons led by the Lord and Savior, best doctor, Jesus Christ. With the spine also had trouble. X-rays showed degeneration of the cervical vertebrae. I had trouble with stooping and twisting of the head. Headache caused by cervical spine was very painful. I was forced into taking pain pills, which proved to be very effective, and at times the pain was unbearable . I preferred to God, so to speak, that wyłem because the pain was so severe. It took quite a long time.
One day I said to the other person, unless I have the spine does not hurt – I turn your head, bend over freely, and I can do all this without pain. I said then that unless God healed my cervical spine, I said " probably " because it was the first reaction, but confessed it before a lot of people that God healed my spine. Subsequent X-rays taken after my healing factions 15th January 2007. The result of the x-rays confirmed that the cervical spine is healthy, no sign of disease.
In the book of Isaiah chapter 59 verse 1, written, "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it can not help you , and His ear is not so dull as not to hear. I experienced this firsthand. Everything is possible for a believer, and I experienced this, and these are the words of God, Jesus Christ [Gospel of Mark chapter 9 verse 23]. Now, whatever I do, does it think of God, because God has become my life.
I wanted to be baptized, I turned to God in prayer and brought me to another Prison in Zabrze and there still asked God, I was baptized. Passes for baptism not received and was baptized in prison. The baptism took place Aug. 1 September 2007 year. God heard my prayer and that was not possible it has become possible. I was baptized by immersion in water according to the commandment of Jesus Christ [ the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28 wiersz19. After the baptism was the " Lord's Supper ", and it was a great experience for me and the event . God has truly freed me, pulled me from what the world offers, and today I despise all evil. Sin has become for me an abomination, for such offenders which was me. Today I have 46 years and I am living proof of God's action. People could not change me, but used different methods. Jesus Christ moved me from death to life.
Today I have the assurance of salvation , and this is rejoice. How important is support in the prayers of all who come to the prisons to preach the Word of God , those who say that Jesus Christ can change a man. Because that's what I Krzysztof could hear about God through these people, whom God sent to penal . Such people wrote in the Word of God [Isaiah chapter 52 verse 7 and Romans chapter 10 verse 15].
May God bless all those sent to prisons and their families, the glory of the Lord Jesus for everything.
He can not express in words everything so , so I wanted to give back because of Psalm 103 quote a fragment of lines 1 to 5, which says it all;
Bless , O my soul, the Lord
And everything in me , his holy name!
Bless , O my soul, the Lord
And forget not all his benefits!
He forgives all your guilt,
Heals all your diseases.
He saves your life from destruction;
He crowns you with love and compassion.
He imbues your good life,
So that is renewed like the eagle in your youth.
I quoted these words , because I experienced it. This is my everyday life. I wrote it all places of detention, where he entrusted his life to God, to witness to God's glory. I am a living testimony of what God is doing in prisons. For me, life has become Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.

The Stanford women's golf team completed its 2016 class by announcing that Ziyi (Emily) Wang of Beijing, China, has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the program.
She will join Andrea Lee, Madeline Chou and Albane Valenzuela as incoming freshmen next fall. Valenzuela signed in 2014-15 but is taking a deferral year.
"Emily is the epitome of a student-athlete," said Stanford head coach Anne Walker. "She has pursued an extremely rigorous academic schedule in Beijing and, at the same time, traveled internationally to compete in the best golf events. She has already won at the professional level and that experience will help her transition to the demands of the college game."
Wang captured the 2014 Callaway World Junior Championship and is the youngest tournament winner on the China LPGA Tour, posting a 10-under-par total. She has competed internationally for Team China since 2006. A 2014 AJGA scholastic honorable mention selection, Wang was student union president of her high school class in 2014-15.
Walker, who guided Stanford to its first NCAA title in program history last season, is thrilled about her new class. Lee is ranked 24th and Valenzuela 43rd in the World Amateur Ranking.
Lee and Chou competed in the California State High School Championship on Tuesday at Poppy Hills Golf Course in Pebble Beach. Lee shot a 2-over 73 and Chou carded a 3-over 74 as both finished among the top 10.
"I am excited to coach this group because they are accomplished, motivated and excited to win another national championship for Stanford," Walker said. "They are arguably the strongest freshman class in the country and I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them win an event during the 2016-17 campaign."

I'VE NEVER LIVE TWEETED BEFORE AND IT REALLY SHOWS #BCM325 pic.twitter.com/aJqHIqj0o1 — Caitlin (@chiIdishgaybino) March 7, 2019 This is my FIRST subject that involves live tweeting whilst watching science fiction films and I'll be completely honest, I become too invested in the films and my tweets are evidently lacking. However, I am continuously learning […]

Live Tweeting Future Cultures (BCM325)
For the past eight weeks, I have been live tweeting along with my Future Cultures class at UOW enjoying content which related to everything technology, cyberspace and robot. The interactions and conversations that were sparked from these tweets and viewings unpacked discussion on various topics under the hashtag #bcm325.
I seemed to have been writing tweets to engage with contentious topics, however they gain no reaction from my peers. Taking a satirical approach while retaining some intellectual stimulation in my tweets prompted a larger reaction.
The following is a curated summary of my experience within this class with emphasis on the future cultures concepts and ideologies that I have learned throughout this semester so far.
Screenings: 'Ghost in the Shell' (1995), Westworld (1973), Johnny Mnemonic (1995), The Matrix (1999), Black Mirror: S2 E1 'Be Right Back' (2013), Robot and Frank (2012), Black Mirror: S3 E6 'Hated in the Nation' (2016) and Blade Runner (1983).
Live Tweeting
Over the last 7 weeks, I have been engaging in a number of screenings while also participating in something called 'Live tweeting'. During the screening of these movies and series, my peers and I have been engaging in discussions on Twitter through the #BCM325 which provided a fantastic medium to unpack thoughts and concepts. Live tweeting on Twitter allowed for quite a lot of discussion to happen between my peers while the screening was happening but also created somewhat of a community as we all became connected through the hashtag while talking about the screenings each week. Twitter definitely allowed for a lot more discussion to happen between my peers which was highlighted at the end of some screenings where we were prompted to talk about a theory, but no one wanted to say anything out loud. Quite interesting.
Anyway, the first screening was an interesting 1995 anime classic 'Ghost in the Shell'. The movie plays with the theme of the advancement of cybernetic technology and how the body can be entirely or partly replaced with cybernetic parts.
Live tweeting this screening was a bit difficult, especially when trying to find information about the piece while keeping up and paying attention. So for this screening, I did have an insufficient amount of tweets as I was trying to figure out what was going on as well as push back the feelings of posting anxiety (anyone else?). Even though I didn't contribute as much as I wanted to I did end up posting some tweets and they did receive some social engagement in the form of likes and re-tweets. The most interesting source found for this movie was the Reddit post, I discovered that Reddit is an excellent source to get some opinions as well as find some explanations for things that I didn't understand which was very helpful.
Next was the 1973 'Westworld' screening, which played on the theme of technologies giving the privileged an experience like no other through an amusement park and visitors having free reign to do whatever they want. When the phrase "And nothing can possibly go wrong" is used, you know for a fact that something is going to go down, and it sure as hell did.
A lot of issues and moral questions ended up being brought up in this session by my peers who were really engaging. Again, dying inside of posting anxiety is not the most helpful thing, especially when live tweeting. However, A lot of my engagement this week was focused towards liking, re-tweeting and a conversation (pats self on the back). My peers were all on the ball in this session and were primarily tweeting what I was thinking in a more elaborate way than I could muster at the time. Again, ideas of morals and technology were prevalent and undoubtedly the most crucial question that was asked in the screening of Westworld.
'Johnny Mnemonic', a 1995 Canadian-American Cyberpunk action thriller was the next movie to live tweet. The film portrayed Gibson's dystopian view of the future world dominated by megacorporations.
I approached live tweeting this film through likes and re-tweets as it was difficult to pay attention to the storyline while also finding information about the film to post. I think this action thriller was the hardest for me to follow which definitely showed in my limited amount of social engagement. Although I didn't engage much with this film, I did end up agreeing with what my peers were discussing online and again found that they were tweeting what I was thinking.
The 1999 film 'The Matrix' was my favourite screening and was the start of my more engaging tweets with my peers. The Matrix is a dystopian science fiction film written in the future where the reality that most humans experience is actually a simulated reality.
I approached the act of live tweeting for this week in the form of liking, commenting and re-tweeting (hell yeah), and found that my peers were having a more interesting conversation with me through twitter because of it. I did also go down a tangent with my research with this screening and found some cool subreddits to do with Glitches in reality. I found this screening and live tweeting to be a lot of fun, which made interacting with my peers a whole lot easier.
Black Mirror's 'Be Right Back' (2013) was an unforgettable screening. The episode was devastating and ended up giving me full body chills. The idea of being so consumed with grief and a company taking full advantage of this was very disturbing. Even the concept of technology being able to imitate and become someone based on their pictures, videos and (social media?) data, when they have died, is beyond terrifying, and something that I don't think should be able to ever exist.
In this screening, the episode ended up engrossing me, and I worked on liking and re-tweeting to keep up my social engagement. I did make the odd comment and found that they also gain some engagement so I was happy about that. Again, in this live tweeting of the film, my peers were very much on the ball, and I found myself reading tweets and completely agreeing with what was being said.
The 2012 film 'Robot and Frank' was another screening that I enjoyed live tweeting. The film is an American Science fiction comedy-drama which draws on the ideas of domestic robots being used to help the elderly with their everyday activities.
When screening this film, I ended up live tweeting a lot more than I had previously. This was a topic that I had earlier talked about in another class and had some information to contribute to the discussion that was happening during the live tweeting. I received a lot of engagement from my peers in this screening and found that I was having some interesting conversations with people on the topic which was quite fun. A lot of my peers had quite interesting things to say, and I ended up finding some fascinating points being made during the screening that I liked (included below).
The very last screening was 'Hated by the Nation' by Black Mirror which was a murder mystery to solve a crime if inexplicable deaths of people who were all targets on social media. This episode really highlighted the power of social media especially Twitter and also the idea of mob mentality.
I ended up tweeting quite a bit at this stage and had some great conversations with my peers online. I found that it was definitely a lot easier to tweet and talk to my peers online when I had watched the episode before we screened it. I was able to find some interesting sources from Reddit, and it also allowed me to focus more on what was happening during the live tweeting and participate more. This screening was definitely my best in tweeting and engagement terms.

Let's compare the Republican budget proposal compared to the progressive budget in the last post. From Robert Reich's Huff Post article dated today:
"The real contrast is over what the plan does for the rich and what it does to everyone else. It reduces the top individual and corporate tax rates to 25 percent. This would give the wealthiest Americans an average tax cut of at least $150,000 a year. The money would come out of programs for the elderly, lower-middle families, and the poor. Seniors would get subsidies to buy private health insurance or Medicare -- but the subsidies would be capped. So as medical costs increased, seniors would fall further and further behind. Other cuts would come out of food stamps, Pell grants to offset the college tuition of kids from poor families, and scores of other programs that now help middle-income and the poor."
See the article for the rest. Which plan do you prefer?

Andrew Steiner
Andrew Steiner's career as a sculptor spans over forty years in Adelaide, covering a range of skills and underpinned by an aesthetic and humane vision. He was a post-war migrant, arriving here from Hungary as a teenager in 1948 and after his studies he working in theatre, taking up woodcarving in 1973.
Initially, his approach was mainly as a carver of 3D biomorphic shapes, unlocking aesthetically pleasing forms in his chosen pieces of wood. Over the years he has become especially fond of the discarded limbs of Tasmanian Huon pine, although Blackwood features prominently too, and his skills have developed in bronze and metal and in works that rely on found objects.
Steiner is a Fellow and Honorary Life Member of RSASA and is a Past President. He was awarded an OAM for his work in the community, teaching about the Holocaust and trying his best to sew seeds in the minds of young people about the dangers of authoritarian impulses in politics and the inevitable inhuman outcomes of spreading hatred and division. He is a true multiculturalist and internationalist.
In 2006 and 2007 he took a solo exhibition of recent and retrospective works to the RSASA Gallery and Gallery M at Marion in Adelaide. He has undertaken numerous sculptural and leadlight commissions in his local community, as well as interstate and overseas, including his Remember The Holocaust I and II, memorials to the victims of the Holocaust for the Jewish Holocaust Museum in Melbourne and the Memorial Museum of Hungarian-Speaking Jewry in Safed, Israel.

Hi! I'm Melisa! Welcome to my blog. If you're curious about my blog's name, it comes from the simple fact that, by day, I'm a genealogist. I have a company called Honeybee Genealogy, where folks can hire me to do all sorts of historical research: building, food, sports(?!), but I specialize in family history research. The hungry part comes from the fact that 1) I am usually hungry. I love food. Everything about it. 2) My love of food and historical research led me to combine the two into this blog/passion project that explores the wonderful, awful, and sometimes strange, history of food, ingredients, and people. Food and family are related, you know? I'm also VERY interested in women's history and stories. Occasionally, I do collaboration posts with awesome women, where they share a family recipe with me. If I'm being honest, those are my favorite posts.
About me personally: I live in Chicago. I have a very cool husband. I love weird history, until someone calls it "weird" and then I'm turned off immediately. I got interested in genealogy because, when I was 12, I adopted my grandmother's notebook full of our family history after she died because no one else showed much interest. Also, I was really into researching Europe's royal family trees as a child because I played alone a lot (still do) and was generally a weird kid. Please don't say I was "weird," though.
If you are interested in chatting, you can contact me with comments or questions about genealogy or food, or whether you look good in that dress (you do!), at honeybeegenealogy(at)gmail(dot)com. Also, are you a woman doing cool things and have a delicious family recipe to share? Hit me up. I'm always looking for opportunities to team up with cool people.
I hope you enjoy your read!

As the pet owner you must communicate your pet's health care needs to your veterinarian. Nobody knows your pet like you. Many signs of illness are subtle. Your veterinarian will rely on your awareness of small changes in your pet's behavior or habits.
Take the time to choose the right veterinarian for your special pet. It is a good idea to start thinking about selecting a veterinarian before a new pet becomes a member of your family. In fact, a veterinarian can assist you in selecting a pet that complements your personality, work schedule and home life.
If you've just moved, you will want to locate a veterinarian soon. Don't wait until your pet becomes ill; you want to establish a relationship right away. Your veterinarian can provide you with information on special climate concerns for your pet. In addition, since traveling can be a stressful experience for a pet, an early check-up may be in order.
Veterinary care is crucial and effective for a wide variety of conditions. The following is a partial list of some of the most common. If you do not see your pet's specific condition listed, we encourage you to give us a call so we can personally address your particular concerns.
- Arthritis
- Bloat & Gastric Torsion

Forget steak and cigars
at the Palm. The real players meet at Jon's place. And they're
playing Monopoly.
The past six months I had been
hosting our soirees. The crowd: A-list. The game: Scrabble.
The rules: BYOB. The core group -- Clinton, Dole, Gingrich,
Gore and I -- would gather in my run-down one-bedroom above
the Georgetown Domino's and, with little cordial foreplay,
we'd get right down to the game.
On this night, Gingrich begged off. Apparently
his VCR was on the fritz and he hates to miss Friends
and The Single Guy. Since Thurmond was sitting in for
Gingrich, we decided to scrap Scrabble. The game's recommended
for ages 8 to 80 and we didn't want to chance it. After much
partisan debate, I cast the deciding vote for Monopoly.
8:07 P.M. Gore wins the die toss and
gets to select his playing piece first.
GORE: I'll be the iron.
DOLE: Are you shitting me?
The iron?
CLINTON: Al, nobody's ever
hankering to be the iron.
GORE: I like the iron, it reminds
me I told Tipper I'd pick up her dress from the dry cleaners
CLINTON: Pick another piece, Al.
GORE: (pouting) No. You never
let me make decisions. Nothing I do is good enough... You're
not the president of the game, you know.
CLINTON: Fine, be the iron.
GORE: (happy again) Thank
you, sir.
DOLE: Pussy.
CLINTON: I'll take the destroyer.
DOLE: (mumbling) Not during
CLINTON: What?
DOLE: Bob Dole wants a solid piece.
Bob Dole wants a piece that represents the working man. Bob
CLINTON: Just choose one.
DOLE: I'll be the shoe.
STEWART: Strom, what are you?
THURMOND: (licking the thimble)
Gleeple florp bimply--
STEWART: Strom, what do you want
to be? The thimble?
THURMOND: (happily) Poodly
CLINTON: Jon, how's about you be
the banker, buddy?
STEWART: Why do I have to be the
CLINTON: Oh, c'mon, man! Just keep
track of the money. It's confusing... you know, for people
like us... help me, guys.
GORE: Some of us are handier with
that kind of thing. Like Greenspan.
DOLE: Or Volcker.
STEWART: What are you suggesting?
THURMOND: Flozzen beermp Jew.
STEWART: (sighing) Fine.
9:53 P.M. The game is relatively even,
with Dole slightly in the lead financially due to his shrewd
takeover of the utilities.
DOLE: (singing to himself)
"I like big butts, I can't deny..."
CLINTON: (rolling) Hot damn,
double fours!
THURMOND: (excited) Yahtzeeeee!!!
DOLE: (still singing softly)
"White girls got them skinny butts..."
CLINTON: (counting eight spaces
using his finger) One, two, three... four...
STEWART: Bob, what are you doing?
DOLE: Bob Dole is singing "Baby
Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot.
CLINTON: Hell, Bob, we should jam
GORE: Hey! Strom just ate my hotel!
THURMOND: (happily) Arfle...
11:46 P.M. Clinton and Dole control most
of the board, but Dole is slightly in the lead with the Southern-state
avenues. Gore, nearly bankrupt, is on the phone.
GORE: Please, buttercup, you promised
I could stay till the game ended.
CLINTON and DOLE: (singing)
"Been spending most our lives livin' in a gangsta's
DOLE: (high-fiving Clinton) God
bless Coolio!!
GORE: I swear, sweetness, it's not
a party. That was Bob and Sir singing.
DOLE: (to me) Your turn.
Roll the dice, home slice! (Dole and Clinton double over
CLINTON: You kill me, man!
I get up to buzz in Colin Powell.
GORE: It's not strippers, sweetums,
it's just General Powell.
POWELL: Good evening, gentlemen.
CLINTON: Colin, you are my man.
DOLE: Bob Dole wants to know, what
is up?
POWELL: Jon, you didn't tell me these
guys were going to be here.
STEWART: Sorry.
DOLE: Colin, settle an argument for
CLINTON: Is "Gangsta's Paradise"
based on a Stevie Wonder song?
DOLE: I say it isn't. Coolio doesn't
sample, does he?
GORE: ... No, you hang up...
No you...
POWELL: I don't know. Listen, Jon,
I've got to be up early tomorrow.
STEWART: Sure, I understand.
GORE: No, you... Okay, I'm hanging
up now.
General Powell gets up to leave. Thurmond
sees him for the first time.
THURMOND: (angry)
I thought I told you to stay with the car.
POWELL: (sadly) I'll
call you, Jon.
STEWART: Okay... sorry.
GORE: (giggling) Are you still
there? You are? Okay, hang up.
1:11 A.M. Dole and Clinton are still
ahead. Pennsylvania Avenue is the only unclaimed piece of
property on the board, and interest in the game begins to
CLINTON: Okay. Bob -- Sandra Day
O'Conner or Barbara Boxer?
DOLE: Bob Dole wants Boxer. Boxer
makes Bob Dole's pants tighter.
STEWART: Guys, do we have to play
the "If you had to sleep with one of them" game?
DOLE: Whatsa matter, Stewart? You
light in the slippers? Eat with the wrong fork?
CLINTON: Yeah... whaddarya... um...
There is an uncomfortable silence.
DOLE: Good one, dipshit.
STEWART: What the hell are you guys
GORE: Check this out! The Monopoly
income tax calls for $200 or 10 percent of your income.
DOLE: Hey that's a choice of a set
amount or a flat rate.
CLINTON: That would really simplify
our cumbersome tax codes.
DOLE: We could give taxpayers earning
more than $200,000 a year a set tax of $20,000 and those earning
less, the 10% rate. We'd save them a bundle.
CLINTON: And we could make up the
shortfall by trimming Federal excesses and running the remaining
bureaus and agencies more efficiently. (solemnly) We
should work together to make this happen...
DOLE: Yeah.
Clinton and Dole's eyes meet; they burst
out laughing.
CLINTON: (doubled
over) You kill me, man... (imitating Dole) "We'd
save them a bundle..." Oooooh man.
DOLE: (tears running
down his face) What about you? (imitating Clinton)
"Work together" --hee hee-- "to
make... ha... this happen..."
Clinton and Dole roll onto
the floor in hysterics.
3:07 A.M. A police siren
wails in the distance. Thurmond, believing we are under attack,
flips the board and runs out of the apartment. After a brief
search, we find him huddling in the backyard shed. Using Cheetos,
we lure him back inside, E.T.-style. The game is called.

With rumours rife, Kiwis will soon be able to enjoy glaze for days, as the world-famous doughnut and coffee chain, Krispy Kreme, announces it is officially launching in New Zealand, with its first flagship store opening on Wednesday, 28th February 2018, at 3 Ronwood Avenue in Manukau, Auckland.
The store launch, which kicks off from 8.00am, is expected to draw in the crowds – with some Krispy Kreme fans expected to take things to a hole new level, camping outside to ensure they are first in line to try the Original Glazed doughnut, hot off the line. What's more, the first Krispy Kreme fan through the door on the 28th will be rewarded with a year's supply of doughnuts.
Andrew McGuigan, CEO of Krispy Kreme, Australia and New Zealand, says: "Krispy Kreme is a brand famous for having fun and sharing great experiences and we can't wait to do just that in New Zealand!
"Over the years, we've been overwhelmed by the demand from Kiwis for Krispy Kreme to hit these shores and we are now extremely excited to be finally launching in New Zealand, making it the 35th country in the world to enjoy our much-loved sweet treats.
"Once our renowned Krispy Kreme 'Hot Now' sign is switched on, our Auckland store will be open for business and customers can expect to enjoy the authentic Krispy Kreme experience – warm, melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts, barista-crafted coffee and much more."
McGuigan continues: "For over 80 years, people have been enjoying our Original Glazed doughnuts hot off the line. Our doughnuts are also made daily, so fresh means made today; nothing less."
McGuigan concludes: "Our new Auckland store will offer Aucklanders a retail shop and drive-thru and we expect as many as 180 new jobs to be created as a result of this new opening."
Aucklanders will be able to enjoy doughnuts hot off the line at Krispy Kreme's state of the art new facility, which features two production lines, which when running at full capacity, can create 4,320 of the sweet treats every hour. In a year the machine can produce enough doughnuts to stretch from Auckland to Sydney and beyond. If stacked on top of each other, the number of doughnuts produced in a day would make 18 Sky Towers.
In the lead-up to opening, from Sunday 28th January, Krispy Kreme will be out and about in Auckland sampling their world-famous Original Glazed doughnuts. Keep an eye on Facebook for details of sampling locations over the coming weeks.
The Krispy Kreme store launch will take place at 3 Ronwood Avenue in Manukau, Auckland, from 8.00am, on Wednesday 28th February. Every guest will be treated to a free Krispy Kreme doughnut on arrival, along with the chance to participate in in-store activities, giveaways and a live DJ until late. Krispy Kreme fans eager to get their first taste of the sweet treats will be invited to join the queue from Monday 26th February. Mark the date in your diary – dough-not delay!

Reality and Revictimization..why not everyone can just "move on" and "get over it" .
You have been methodically and diabolically abused and suddenly you hear "don't be a victim, choose to be a survivor." The concept that a victim can always consciously choose how to proceed, is wrong.
The phrase, "move on with your life" is common. In a commanding, offhand and arrogant tone, those who have fought and lost a custody battle, their home, car and savings, family, job and may be suffering physically (adrenal exhaustion is common) are stunned to be told, "well, better move on with your life."
The entire infrastructure of a life is often destroyed leaving the victim, stunned, numb, hypervigilant, indigent, betrayed and perplexed as to why they are expected to "choose" to not be a victim. Give them a time machine and this can be done. Give them revictimization abuse and it cannot. They are victims.
It's time to give that word back its status and in doing so, give respect to the abused. Respect comes in the form of providing help. An empowering, compassionate approach to those who have been stripped of dignity through repeated abuse in courts of law, or by their partners, begins with recognizing and defining the situation of the victim.
What is the definition of a "victim"?
According to the dictionary a victim is: One who is harmed by, or made to suffer from an act, circumstance, agency, or condition; a person who is tricked, swindled, or taken advantage of.
The victim of a narcissist or abuser is traumatized. There are biochemical changes in the body and structural changes in the brain. Thought patterns change, memories are lost, immune system strongly affected, brain cells die, there is chest pain, muscle pain, feelings are intense and emotions chaotic. Victimization is never deserved.
- 1. Compassion
- 2. Validation
- 3. Freedom from therapeutic verbal abuse
- 4. A support team to open doors to resources
- 5. A friend, therapist or counselor who can teach you the skills to rebuild your life.

Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,
We hope that the Methuen High School Summer Reading Program provides students with a meaningful and pleasurable literary experience. In preparation for a Socratic seminar held in English class at the beginning of the school year, students are expected to select and read one book from the attached grade level list. In addition to reading the goodreads summaries provided, students are encouraged to consult with their parents and teachers when selecting a text. You will notice that, by design, the summer reading titles for each grade align thematically for the sake of the Socratic seminar. However, most offerings differ in complexity, genre, and content. Please take the time to consider which book suits you best.
In inform you of the premise and purpose of a Socratic seminar, an overview from the National Paideia Center is attached. This resource also includes tips on how to prepare for participation. English teachers will offer further guidance at the start of the school year. Students participation in the Summer Reading Socratic seminar will account for five percent of the first term grade.
Students enrolled in either AP English Language and Composition or AP English Literature and Composition for the 19-20 school year do not need to select a book from these lists, but are instead required to complete the AP summer work for their respective course(s).
There are limited quantities of most summer reading titles available for loan to MHS students. Please visit the MHS media center to borrow a copy. Summer reading selections can also be found at the Nevins Library where there is a fun array of summer programs for children and teens. The Library has a new Beanstack app on which you can track your reading minutes and qualify for digital badges and prizes. To learn more about the app, visit the Children's Department on June 3 or later; to find out about programs and to register for them, visit the Nevins online at www.nevinslibrary.org.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Enjoy your summer,
Interim Assistant Superintendent
