• Ask them the way function as the final copy in the design provide. They must offer you EPS file or Adobe illustrator file so that you can have the ability to scale the symbol as per your requirement. Whenever they provide you with JPEG images say a Big NO since they will likely be useless in the case of using the logo in billboards or larger posters.

Prosciutto di Parma DOP boasts a history that can be traced back to the Roman era. The entire processing follows strict production regulations and takes place in an extremely limited area of the province of Parma which - due to its climate conditions - allows the natural maturation that gives sweetness and flavour to the product. Levoni offers the 20-month and 24-month Riserva version.
Cut slice of pink/red color, white, pure white fat, required to keep the prosciutto soft, the aroma is strong, persistent, and when cut it must be curved soft. The flavour is sweet and flavorsome - expression of a century-old craftsmanship.

Equality Lost
Sadly, the Church's long embrace of Patriarchy (male leadership in society), as well as its current entanglement with Complementarianism (a newer watered down version of Patriarchy where the role of leadership in the home and church are designated to males), are a perpetuation of the Fall and its consequence, "HE (man) SHALL RULE OVER YOU (woman)". As such, they have nothing to do with the New Covenant and the gender equality found in Christ.
To consider how this came about, here, in a nutshell, is an overview of mankind, male and female, their dominion and how they have related to one another in God's timeline:
The foundation for male and female equality, being joint heirs with joint dominion is found in the very beginning, in Genesis 1:27-28:
So God created man in his own image… MALE AND FEMALE he created them … And God said to THEM,"…fill the earth and SUBDUE IT, and HAVE DOMINION over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth" (Gen 1:27-28).
Note: nothing is said of gender roles or rank, or roles with rank.
Inequality that exists through so-called male roles of leadership was not in God's original plan, but is described in Genesis 3:16 as one of the consequences of the Fall.
To the woman he said, "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and HE SHALL RULE OVER YOU" (Gen 3:16).
History shows that man has certainly done this, even, and sometimes especially, by those in the church.
Note: male rank became the typical default.
Although He worked, and works with us in our brokenness of male dominance, inequality is not God's original or ultimate plan. In the New Covenant, described in Acts 2:17-18 and Galatians 3:28, we find a restoration to the equality seen at creation:
And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy (Acts 2:17-18).
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Gal 3:28).
Note: nothing is said here or anywhere in the New Testament of spousal rank or church roles with rank.
Male Dominance Preserved by Misinterpretation, Tradition and Man's Fallen Nature
These doctrines of Patriarchy and Complementarianism come from misinterpreting God's word and are perpetuated by having become unquestioned tradition for many. Of course, the fallen male nature to want to dominate also helps to entrench these traditions.
As a result of years of indoctrination and bad example, many in the Church have a veil of Patriarchy on their minds that causes them to misread texts like 1 Cor 14:34-35, 1 Tim 2:11-15, 1 Tim 3:1f, 1 Cor 11:3f and Eph 5:22f. Consequently, these texts are used to endorse behavior that is contrary to the Spirit, which is both sad and ironic, because Paul was often teaching against Patriarchy with those very texts.
For a look at those misused texts in context, click on these links:
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 – "Let your women keep silence…"
1 Timothy 2:11-15 – "… I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man…"
1 Timothy 3:1f – "…an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife…"
1 Corinthians 11:3f – "…the head of the woman is the man…"
Ephesians 5:22 – "Wives, submit to your own husbands…the husband is the head of the wife…"
May the joy of God's original purpose of gender equality, that was lost at the fall, but found in Christ, become all the more yours in your home, the Church and in all of life.
God bless,
Did Paul, or for that matter God, teach ""Let your women keep silence in the churches"?
In writing to the Corinthian church, Paul writes, "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church" (1 Cor 14:34-35).
That seems plain as day, right? Yes, if these verses are looked at in isolation, it does seem very plain that Paul was restricting women from speaking in church meetings. However, let's consider the text, in its context.
Immediate Context:
Firstly, consider that the very next verse says, "What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?" (1 Cor 14:36), which, if read immediately after verses 34-35, shows Paul to be reacting to the idea of restricting women and not advocating it.
Extra Biblical Context:
Now, someone may rightly ask, surely Paul would not advocate following God's law only to immediately refuse the idea. But, was it God's "law" that Paul was referring to that says women ought to keep silent? No! A careful search will reveal no such law in the Bible.
So what "law" was Paul referring to then? Paul was quoting the Jewish oral law (Talmud) in vs 34-35 that some in the church apparently still wanted to embrace. And, in vs 36, we see Paul reasoning against this restriction on women. Firstly, he is clearly flabbergasted by such a notion. Then, through rhetorical questions, he refutes their logic to keep such a custom.
Paul points out that the word did not come from men, but, by implication, that it is from God. And, that it also did not only go to men, but, by implication women too. The logic being that there was no reason to restrict women from speaking because they "learn" just fine directly from God and His word and don't need to be instructed by their husbands at home in order to learn. This explains the grammar and obvious tone in verse 36.
Only men could speak in public (Beraktoth 4,36; Mishnah Aboth 1,5)
No woman could give a testimony or conduct business. (Mishnah Shabbath 4,1).
For a glimpse into the prevailing mindsets around that era, here is Adam Clarkes comment on Verse 34:
"Let your women keep silence in the churches] This was a Jewish ordinance; women were not permitted to teach in the assemblies, or even to ask questions. The rabbins taught that "a woman should know nothing but the use of her distaff." And the sayings of Rabbi Eliezer, as delivered, Bammidbar Rabba, sec. 9, fol. 204, are both worthy of remark and of execration; they are …."Let the words of the law be burned, rather than that they should be delivered to women." Adam Clarke
Further Context:
Paul would be contradicting himself in the very same letter if he taught that women were to keep silent. Consider that he says 1 Cor 14:26, "…when ye come together, EVERY ONE of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation…" This would be impossible for women if they were to keep silent.
Furthermore, Paul clearly knew, taught and practiced the New Covenant where no restriction on women exists. In Galatians 3:28, Paul captures the equality that is found in Christ. It reads, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Paul Was Rejecting Male Patriarchy and Not Women Speaking
So, contrary to the teachings and traditions of Judaism (and a whole lot of Christianity today), PAUL WAS OPPOSING THOSE WHO WOULD SILENCE WOMEN. He was correcting those who were wanting to bring certain wrong teachings and traditions from Judaism into the church. Clearly, if we are to isolate verses to capture Paul's thinking then surely his view is seen in vs. 36 and not vs. 34-35.
He then refutes opposition to this by saying, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant" (1 Cor 14:37-38).

The first thing that came to my mind when I heard about workforce analysis was – it's kind of an analysis which is done on employees. But, when I started working on workforce analysis, my thoughts changed day by day. It's something which involves identifying the current and futuristic supply of labour or workforce and helps in identifying the future aspects to make better business decisions for an organization. In layman terms, it's something which provides information regarding the current workforce across the organization, including demographic and background characteristics of the current workforce, turnover, recruitment and retention.
At Streebo, we started using workforce analysis so that it would help us out in:
• Acquiring the right talent.
• Ensuring the right compensation.
• Preventing employee turnover.
• Predicting employee's potential.
1 – Acquiring the Right Talent
The biggest role of the HR team in any tech company is to find the right technical and cultural fitment. So, workforce analysis helped me out a lot in searching out the perfect mix for our open positions. I started my analysis first by gathering the data about the people who are working on the required technologies. This analysis helped me to get an idea that what will be the probability of getting a right fit for the role in our location.
As we are living in the era of digitalization, we have also digitalized our recruitment process on cloud DXA and we have named it a "Recruitment Management System". Basically, it is a workflow with a database where the data of the candidates who we reach or the ones who apply for the positions are secured. So, it helps us in doing the analysis according to the requirement and I am able to get the right talent for the requirements.
At Streebo, we initially started with reactive analysis but looking at the market trends and changing strategies in the HR systems, we started to move further to the proactive approach. Now, this proactive analysis has started helping us with a lot of problem management processes (i.e. recruitment and retention). For doing proactive analysis we have started to do the descriptive analysis of the requirements so that a base can be created. After this, we add the external data collected like the market trends, demographic shifts and others so that we can see a broader picture of the future. Finally, doing the predictive analysis based on the collected information which helps us to predict the right hires and adapting the changes according to the market trends.
The below diagram shows the factors on which we focus on acquiring the right talent. In this, the major components are reactive analysis and proactive analysis. So, when we combine both the analysis, the result we get is in the form of Predictive analysis.
2 – Ensuring the Right Compensation
When I talk about compensation it is one of the important things while I look for an individual for a desired role. For deciding the compensation for a role or an individual I do analysis according to the market trends.
I prefer to do three things which are:
a) Analyse – First I analyse the compensation surveys and market rates to create data. All this data is from the relevant industry, similar jobs and appropriate labour market.
b) Plan – Collected data helps me to create a compensation plan for the position we are hiring which is according to the years of experience and their last pay.
c) Execute – As I am done with the analysis and planning of the compensation according to the budget and keeping other factors in mind, I move further to execute the plan.
As ensuring the right compensation for the employee is becoming strategic, compliance-oriented and data-informed and it is based on the data-driven decision making. At, Streebo we are growing and shifting our self towards a new way of ensuring right compensation which is compensation analysis. It's a new discipline built on the foundation of People (HR) analysis.
Compensation analysis helps us in keeping the right talent with us in below ways:
• Benchmarking Salaries – Nowadays, it is very difficult to get people with the required skill set for a requirement and if we find someone with all the required skills, another challenge is to get them in the salary range. So, here comes compensation analysis which helps us in benchmarking the salaries at Streebo for the right fit. We do compensation analysis based on market trends, market rates and expectations for similar roles, which helps us to provide the best salary available in the market and hire the best candidates.
• Tracking Business Goals – At Streebo, we use compensation analysis so that we can know whether we are following our stated goals or not and are those goals aligned with our business goals or not. Compensation analysis is done by us according to the market analysis to analyse the factors that help us in determining the right pay for the employee. The factors which we look around at Streebo are Engagement level, performance, determination and the workload. With such data points regarding a candidate, we get a clear vision for the employee. Compensation analysis provides us with major key factors that help in retaining and rewarding the right talent.
3 – Reduce Employee Turnover
Employee turnover is something which is very common in every business with workforce or workers. So, I also experience the same at Streebo as people come and go. Whenever a person leaves from the organization it is expensive and time consuming for me to find a replacement.
Some reasons for the unwanted turnover:
The above factors play a vital role in the employee turnover in the organization.
So, for reducing the number of employee turnover we majorly focus on:
• Hiring the right candidate.
• Offering a competitive salary.
• Giving Recognition.
• Clear career path.
• Flexible work schedules.
The above graph shows the Hire to turnover ratio (approx.) at Streebo for the year of 2017 & 2018. As we can see, after we started using people analytics the number of hired people increased and the turnover has decreased.
The Hiring ratio in 2018 as compared to 2017 increased by 204% and the turnover ratio of 2018 as compared to 2017 decreased by 12.5%. This data shows how the people analytics helped us in preventing the turnover and also increased the number of right candidates hired.
4 – Predicting Employee's Potential
Automation of processes and HR audit aided us in analysing the efficiency index of an employee. We used Quadrant System™ at Streebo to derive work efficiency of all our employees and that paved way for predictive analysis.
At Streebo, the quadrant data is based on the quarterly analysis of the overall performance of the individual and the ratings & review by their respective managers. The individuals are rated based on:
• Quality of work delivered.
• Time taken to complete the assigned work.
• The complexity of work.
Based on the behavioural and psychological trends that the employee displayed during any turn of the event were recorded and analysed in order to predict what course of action they will take in future.

Mass market paperback. Condition: Near fine. Published by Pocket 1975, 1st thus. (0-671-80185-6) , by John Rankine. ... TV tie-in. Pseudonym of Douglas R. Mason. ... Novelisation of "Alpha Child", "The Last Sunset", "Voyager's Return" and "Another Time, Another Place". Rankine employs a much more conservative approach to the novel, with a faithful script-to-prose adaption of the four episode. Any linking of the four segments is minimal and does not alter events. Thankfully, no explanations are offered for the mysterious and mind-blowing events that the Alphans experience. Rankine's style is clean and fast-paced and, while maintaining character integrity, portrays the regulars as more down-to-earth, regular people in contrast to Tubb's über-intelligent, more tension-ridden interpretation. Changes from established episodes are few and usually because they were present in the final shooting scripts and reflective of last-minute alterations: (1) Sue Crawford was originally named Cynthia Crawford. (2) Jarak and Rena's pursuers from home appeared in a fleet of six ships identical to theirs rather than one large warship. (3) the conclusion of the "biological clock" dialogue between Sandra Benes and Paul Morrow in "The Last Sunset" excised from the final print is restored (Sandra: "Do you know what sound I miss most in the silence of space?" Paul: "Birdsong?" and now, before the kiss, Sandra: "The sound of children".) ... Cover photo features Barbara Bain & Martin Landau. ... Series: Space: 1999 2. ... [Science Fiction]

UK election exit polls suggest hung Parliament, prompt pound breakdown
James Chen, CMT June 8, 2017 8:05 PM
Conservatives needed 326 seats in order to gain an absolute majority in the Commons, but projections based on exit polls suggested that they would only win 314 seats – 12 seats short – against the Labour Party's projected 266 seats. Probably the worst possible outcome for sterling that could have come about, a hung Parliament will ensure prolonged political uncertainty in the UK and the Brexit process, and potentially continue to weigh on the pound at least in the near-term foreseeable future. Clearly, this was not anything near what Theresa May was expecting when she called for snap elections back in late April as Conservatives then enjoyed more than a 20-point lead over Labour in public polling.
The projected outcome of the UK election as of Thursday evening places the fate of Theresa May and Conservatives in serious jeopardy, as the prospects of a hung Parliament and potential coalition government are no simple matters and will undoubtedly be fraught with extreme uncertainty. It is this uncertainty that will likely continue to weigh on the pound going forward. The GBP/USD drop on Thursday evening prompted a clear breakdown below a key uptrend line extending back to mid-March. The breakdown also breached key support at 1.2800. If final election results early Friday morning corroborate the current exit poll projections, GBP/USD could be pressured further towards a 1.2600 support target. Any further breakdown below 1.2600 would constitute an exceptionally bearish technical event, with the next major support level around 1.2350.

Have just noticed that the gross amounts and allowances for one staff member submitted in STP are grossly incorrect since July! All my export files have been successfully submitted to the ATO so didn't think to check each individual entry plus PAYG amounts are correct. So, 1. are the export files from payroll premier incorrect and 2. how can gross pay and allowances be adjusted and advised to the ATO? Any help would be much appreciated.

Many people are afraid to file a personal injury case because they fear going to court. Going before a judge, and being grilled by the defense team, can cause great anxiety about filing a case. Thankfully, not every personal injury case ends up in front of a judge. There are many instances where the case can be settled without going through the hassle of a legal battle. To understand the nature of these claims, you must understand the timeline.
The Demand Letter
When you meet with a personal injury attorney, they will give you an idea of what to expect from your case. With years of experience, they know the insurance companies that are easier to work with and the ones that hold out for a long battle. Additionally, the type of injuries that you suffer from has a big influence in these situations. Once you retain an attorney, they will ensure that your medical treatment is completed or you are mended as much as can be expected. The next step is to put together a demand letter. The demand letter will outline the injuries you have suffered, the negligence of the other party, and the amount of compensation that is requested. This letter opens the door and allows the insurance company to communicate with the attorney.
The Insurance Company Weighs Their Stance
Once the insurance company receives the demand letter, they will evaluate their stance in the matter. If there are any loopholes they will try to push the blame back onto you to avoid paying for the injuries. They may try to call you and get a recorded statement that can and will be used against you. Never say things to the company like "I feel fine." They can turn that around later and say that you were feeling just fine and had no issues and they have it on tape. Always do all dealings through your attorney of record to ensure you are protected. If the case has a large compensation request, then they may be willing to negotiate if they feel they have no defense. Do not underestimate the insurance company and the games they will play to keep from paying anything.
The Art of Negotiations
In most cases, the insurance company will counter your offer with another one. If they feel there is a good chance you will win in court, they will attempt to save themselves the costs of a legal battle. Court costs are quite expensive, especially when you bring in expert witnesses and several legal representatives. They may cut their losses and try to just close the case. There may be a period of back and forth between both parties, and these negotiations can go on for some time. If there is no way to come to an agreement, then a motion will be filed in court. The motion will name you as the plaintiff against the other party and their insurance company.
What Happens After A Case Is Filled In Court?
After a case has been filed in court, many things can happen. First, the other party will ask for discovery. Depositions are commonplace in cases that are requesting high dollar compensation packages. Thankfully, just because you file a case in court does not mean that you will have to go to court. At any point during the trial, the insurance company can continue the negotiations. They may offer another amount before the trial. Commonly, if the insurance company feels that they are losing during the trial, they may come back with an offer before the judge decides in your favor. The question then becomes whether you should take their settlement offer.
Experienced Legal Counsel Is Imperative
It is important to have an attorney knowledgeable personal injury attorney representing you throughout this process. These claims require a great deal of legal knowledge that is not common knowledge to all attorneys. A lawyer that deals with these types of cases has an advantage in the courtroom. They have contacts at the major insurance companies and know the tricks of the trade. Having suitable counsel can mean the difference between a successful and unsuccessful case.

On Thursday April 11, 2019 District IV Supervisor, Susan Hoek, held a Town Hall meeting in North San Juan at the Oak Tree Lodge. The event was well attended and included Sheriff Shannan Moon, Public Works Director Trisha Tillotson, and Transit Services Manager Robin VanValkenburgh. the goal of the meeting was to discuss important issues that include law enforcement, road maintenance, and transit services. The event had approximately 60 people in attendance. Supervisor Hoek welcomed everyone and spoke about the importance of engaging the community.
At the event, Sheriff Moon discussed strategies on increased law enforcement in the area, while acknowledging staffing and resource constraints. Public Works Director Trisha Tillotson provided a summary presentation on Public Works' role and responsibility of maintaining the County's roadways and infrastructure. She highlighted the work Public Works is doing throughout the County and encouraged residents to use the Ask Nevada County mobile app to report road and roadside related requests. She explained that members of the community simply need to download the app from Google Play or the iTunes store, take a picture of the issue, like a pothole in the road and submit the request. It is then directly routed to the County's road crew. To learn more about the Ask Nevada County app, go to www.mynevadacounty.com.
Nevada County Transit Services Manager, Robin VanValkenburgh also spoke at the event on the potential opportunity of launching a new bus line in North San Juan. Currently staff is evaluating potential service times and stop locations. Robin explained that the County is looking at launching a two-year pilot program in order to gain the necessary ridership to sustain a service line in the area.

Wireless network (WiFi) has made it easy for everyone to use internet on any sort of device. You and your guests can share a network in your house without any cable to bother you. With the traditional WiFi network, it was extremely difficult to steal someone's bandwidth. But the problem with WiFi networks is that anyone, including your neighbors, receive your wireless signals and can use your internet if your network is not well protected! Now you may ask yourself "Is my network secure ?" If you wish to find the answer to this question, this article is what you need.
How to secure WiFi network – Is my network secure
Each year, there are more than 1.5 million cyber attacks around the world. If you don't want to be one of the victims, read this tutorial on how to have a secure WiFi network.
Change the name of your home wireless network
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) or Wireless Network Name of your Wireless Router is usually pre-defined so changing your WiFi's name makes it harder for malicious hackers to know what type of router you have.
Use a name you can remember and identify, as the SSID has no influence on the security of your network (not even if you choose not to broadcast it).
Create a unique password for your router
Is my network secure ? Well, is your network protected by a strong password?
The first step for your network security is to ensure that your password is strong enough.
Access your router's wireless settings, usually by entering 192.168.1.1 in your browser, and change your password to a long enough and secure enough one.
Enable network encryption
Have you ever wondered that "is my network secure ?" One of the ways to ensure network security is through network encryption.
Network encryption means you encrypt your WiFi signals, so that other computers will not be able to connect your network.
There are several encryption methods such as, WEP, WPA (WPA-Personal), and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2). Since WEP is the basic encryption method, it is the least secure and it is not a good idea to use it.
To enable encryption on your Wireless network, open the wireless security settings on your router's configuration page. Then you can select security method you wish to use. It is advisable to use WPA/WPA2-PSK.
A firewall can help secure to your WiFi network
Firewalls aren't just software programs. They can also be a hardware. A hardware firewall is somehow the same as a software one, and its biggest advantage is that it adds an extra layer of security. most of the best wireless routers come with a preinstalled hardware firewall and Even if your router doesn't have one , you can install a good firewall device to your router.
Filter MAC addresses
One of best ways to safeguard your network is through MAC filter. All your wireless devices have a unique MAC address just like every computer connected to the Internet has a unique IP address. You can add the MAC addresses of all your devices to your wireless router's settings so that only the specified devices can connect to your WiFi network.
The bottom line is that securing your wireless network is very important because if you don't, your neighbors can not only borrow your Internet connection, but also access your files. Make sure that your network is always secure.

The Proper Way To Dispose of Recycled Media
Tumbling media is never for just one-time use. Actually, tumbling media is typically used multiple times before losing its performance properties. Eventually, you'll need new media to continue with your projects, but when you're ready to throw out your old media, think twice before just dumping it in the garbage. When getting rid of media, there are a few guidelines you must follow for proper disposal. Proper disposal of media is the duty of all sandblasting users.
Why Is Proper Disposal Important?
Users must be conscious that recycled media may contain contaminants from the parts that have been processed through the media. Generally, this isn't the case, but it's possible after certain types of finishing projects. To begin, it's important to remember that none of our tumbling media options contain harmful materials. Consider the surfaces you've finished, such as metal or painted surfaces. The leftover particles from finishing these materials may harm the environment, therefore they need to end up in the right place.
The Disposal Process
The first step for disposal is trapping the media in a closed basket or container. This way, it's all contained in one place. It's paramount that all media is fully contained.
Next comes the transportation of the recycled media into a waste bag or basket. During the transfer, no dust particles should release from the removal basket. Ensure this by moving slowly, and allowing time for the dust to settle before trapping the media and throwing it out. For media containing metals from certain paints and metal parts, dispose of it as hazardous waste. Although the waste is in solid form, the harmful materials still hold the same hazardous properties.
We strongly recommend the disposal process is completed with the appropriate safety products. With the appropriate safety procedures in order, any exposure to the media will not harm the disposer.
Here at Kramer, operate by our KramerThinksGreen initiative. This motivates us to constantly search for the most sustainable solutions for surface finishing. It's our duty to the environment to provide our clients with green product options. This entails renewable resources with high reusability, a relentless pursuit to keep improving products, and sticking to natural ingredients. To learn more about the KramerThinksGreen initiative and our renewable tumbling media options, contact us. We'll provide you with the best methods for recycled media disposal.

Quasi-non-diffracting beams are attractive for various applications, including optical manipulation, super-resolution microscopes, and materials processing. However, it is a great challenge to design and generate super-long quasi-non-diffracting beams with sub-diffraction and sub-wavelength size. In this paper, a method based on the idea of compressing a normalized angular spectrum is developed, which makes it possible and provides a practical tool for the design of a quasi-non-diffracting beam with super-oscillatory sub-wavelength transverse size. It also presents a clear physical picture of the formation of super-oscillatory quasi-non-diffracting beams. Based on concepts of a local grating and super-oscillation, a lens was designed and fabricated for a working wavelength of λ = 632.8 nm. The validity of the idea of normalized angular spectrum compression was confirmed by both numerical investigations and experimental studies. An optical hollow needle with a length of more than 100λ was experimentally demonstrated, in which an optical hollow needle was observed with a sub-diffraction and sub-wavelength transverse size within a non-diffracting propagation distance of 94λ. Longer non-diffracting propagation distance is expected for a lens with larger radius and shorter effective wavelength.

You are my portion, O LORD; I have promised to obey your words. I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise. Psalm 119:57-58
No doubt as a young man alone in the fields, David had seen prey divided among the victors and heard their joy as they claimed their part of the spoil. Perhaps he'd watched his own men celebrate joyously as they divided the plunder from fallen enemies. The joy is in the 'portion', that part of the treasure which is all yours.
As he reflected on the blessings he'd received from Jehovah God, he rejoiced in the one true treasure that would last him far beyond gold, silver or any earthly object. David's 'portion' was the salivation and shield that Jehovah God provided. Elsewhere he praised Jehovah for being his salvation and shield, his power to overcome and his protection from attack.
It is because of the love and protection David received that he gladly treasured the Words of his God deep within his heart. They were the well spring of guidance and wisdom. They were the source of all that made him who he was. Obedience to God's commands wasn't a hardship for David for he saw obedience as the least he could do in return for the blessings Jehovah God provided.
David's joy seems to spill over into prayer. He seeks the 'face of the Lord' with every ounce of his strength, for through heartfelt, honest, persistent conversation with his God he was able to rest in the promises of God's unending love, grace and mercy.
Don't miss the significance of David's words. These words came from a man guilty of adultery, murder, poor parenting and a whole list of other failings in life. David had a criminal record that rivals the most heinous of criminals. Yet he was considered a 'man after God's own heart', not because of his own righteousness. David knew full well that his salvation came as a result of Gods working in him and not because of anything that David could do.
Our motivation to go on, to pursue our dreams, to live lives that are full of the joy of Christ have nothing to do with the circumstances and struggles of our lives. We can base everything we have the unending grace of God, who wants to bless us beyond all measure because of Jesus. Like David, we can rejoice in a living, loving all-powerful God, our eternal portion.
PRAYER: Jehovah God, I thank you for the many blessings you desire to lavish upon me. I confess to you that too often I seek worldly pleasures and riches over the eternal riches of a relationship with you. Help me to seek after you, to pursue you through your word and prayer. Empower me to want to obey and to have victory over the things I'm struggling with today. Empower me to today to believe that you want your very best in my life. Help me to believe in myself as I earnestly seek your direction. Amen.

Explore Israel's culture, society, innovation and majesty through the lens that reflects your passions.
Women's Philanthropy Mission to Poland & Israel
October 26 – November 3, 2019
Join The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington for an immersive and transformative journey through three of the world's most fascinating cities. Tour dazzling landmarks and explore Jewish history in Krakow and Warsaw, Poland. Then, fly across the Mediterranean to celebrate modern-day Jewish renewal in Tel Aviv, Israel – all while creating memories and new friendships with other women in our community.
Experience Israel's culture, beauty, and society over nine days in a way you could never do on your own. You and 20 other couples will spend nine days hitting the best tourist spots—the Western Wall, Jerusalem's Old City, the beaches of Tel Aviv—as well as unique experiences you wouldn't get on a standard vacation, like meals with local families and meetings with high-level public officials and business leaders.
You'll visit sites important to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim history, taste the best Israeli food and wine, encounter the natural beauty of the Middle East, and meet Israeli peers to hear about life in Israel from their point of view. Trip itineraries balance group experiences and alone time for you and your partner—and neither involves sitting in a classroom. You'll be out and about most of the day, and have plenty of opportunities for reflection over meals and through structured discussions about politics, religion, and other important topics. Every trip includes two unique Shabbat (sabbath) experiences—a traditional Shabbat in Jerusalem, and a modern Shabbat experience in Tel Aviv.
This opportunity is provided by Honeymoon Israel in partnership with The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and Sixth & I Historic Synagogue.

The Beauty of Versatility: 8 Outfits That Are Perfect For Any Summer Event
1st Apr 2019
Pink Lily Boutique has all the cute summer outfits for women that you could ever want. No matter what summertime function you're planning, we have a to-die-for ensemble waiting for you. Your best bet is to pick out an outfit that you can wear to a variety of events, from hot dates and sultry nights to weekends spent on the coast. Inject your summer wardrobe with seasonal must-haves and versatile apparel that you can wear until fall—and maybe beyond.
All About the Jumpsuit
Pink Lily Boutique has scores of cute summer outfits for women, ensembles that you'll be absolutely dying over (in a good way, of course). However, as you'll see, we're fans of one-and-done outfits for the season. Any time you can choose an article of clothing that's a complete outfit in and of itself, you're winning. Once the warm weather hits, who has time to put together separate pieces? You need to pull something off the hanger and go, girl! Take advantage of all the extra daylight.
A jumpsuit is a fashionable, on-trend solution. Jumpsuits and rompers are carrying the season, and it's no wonder. May we suggest our Chasing Beauty Jumpsuit in sage? The color is on-point yet unexpected for the season, which ensures that you'll stand out from everyone at the beach party, the backyard BBQ, or the bar after work. The smocked bodice has a bit of stretch. The fall of the pants is elegant enough for a semi-formal event. We're in love with the bow-tie straps, too. Splurge on a jumpsuit like this one and you'll have the perfect ensemble for a variety of summertime functions.
Tiers from Top to Bottom
It's hard to layer your outfits in the summer because of the heat. This gorgeous little layered dress can step in to help, however. The Know My Heart Polka Dot Dress is a fun, frothy confection with tier after tier of precious polka dots—one of the year's most popular patterns, by the way. Thanks to the ruffles and the square neckline, the dress has subtle 1920s flair. Choose the right shoes and accessories, and you can pull off a fabulous flapper aesthetic.
With a pair of white sneakers, flip flops, or ballet flats, the dress is casual and cool enough for a garden party, a lunch date with your besties, or even a walk in the park. Throw on some platforms or open-toed heels, however, and you're ready for a dinner date with that hottie from the next cubicle or a night of dancing with your girls.
A Vision in Overalls
Overalls are making a comeback, but that's not the only reason they deserve a spot in your summer wardrobe. Overalls are versatile, too. Depending on the shirt you wear with them and the shoes you choose, you'll fashionably fit in at an array of summer events. With heels and a sexy crop top, for example, you can hit the dance floor. Wear an off-shoulder sweater with belled sleeves to a casual dinner. Heck, you can even throw on a pair of overalls over your bathing suit and head to the beach without a second thought. Take our word for it: go ahead and invest in a pair of cowboy boots, too. Nothing beats cowboy boots and denim overalls when you're going for a lewk.
Not that we're biased or anything, but we suggest you start with our Extended Weekend Light Wash Denim Overalls. The soft blue wash is an on-point shade for summer, but it carries into fall and spring, as well. The shorts are distressed to perfection, from the cat-whiskers of bleach to the artfully frayed holes. Wear your overalls with eyelet lace, a tank top, or your favorite hoodie. Take them camping or plan an unforgettable night of low-key fun.
A Little Leopard Goes a Long Way
You might not think that animal print has a place at many summer festivities, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Take a peek at our Destined For Greatness Leopard Print Pants, for example. All it takes is a black or white tank top, camisole, or crop top to create a dynamic outfit. These pants bring the drama, which is why they can be the basis for several cute summer outfits for women. They feature a retro-inspired shape with a subtle flare. If you want to be extra bold, consider pairing your pants with a red top. Should you stick with black or white, add pops of color via bright shoes and vivid lipstick.
Heels are almost always the way to go with these pants, but platforms and sandals can take it down a notch. You can also anchor the pants with casual tops, such as simple tanks and tee shirts. You won't have any problem transitioning from the backyard to the boardwalk, for example, as long as you can pull a quick switch of your accessories and footwear.
Maxi-Mum Potential
Maxi dresses are summertime staples. They're airy, breathable, and comfortable, not to mention the fact that they fit in practically everywhere. It's easy to put together cute summer outfits for women using a maxi and a few well-chosen accent pieces. Of course, you have to begin with a breathtaking dress. With that in mind, PLB would love to introduce you to the Oceans of Love Ombre Maxi Dress in blue.
First of all, we need to rave about the blue ombre effect. Wearing this dress is like wrapping yourself in the summer sky or the true-blue ocean. It screams "summer," to the point that we have to wonder—if you don't wear this maxi dress at some point during the season, then are you really celebrating summer at all?
The full silhouette will flatter any figure. More to the point, it flows around you, creating a bewitching vibe. The skirt falls so long that it will probably hide your feet, which means that you're free to go barefoot if you like. Flip flops and a sun hat turn this into the ideal outfit for a beach day. Add platform heels or sandals along with an arm party of bracelets, however, and you can hit up a beach party or a romantic dinner for two.
Irresistible Romper Action
Remember our conversation about jumpsuits? Well, rompers deserve a spot in your summer wardrobe, too. Rompers are to jumpsuits what shorts are to pants and what skirts are to dresses. A romper works whether you're headed to a low-key get together in your best friend's backyard, a birthday party, or even a daytime wedding. Just take care to choose colors and styles that you'll want to wear throughout the season.
The Key to Your Heart Romper in blue is an on-point example. Spaghetti straps hold it up, but the bodice is technically an off-the-shoulder design. The little glimpse of skin is everything. In keeping with the ruffles trend that's sweeping through the summer's hottest fashions, there are ruffles everywhere, from the bodice and sleeves to the bottom hem. A bow belt ties at the side, heaping on a bit more feminine charm. You can't beat the sky-blue hue, and the silhouette of the romper itself resembles a party dress. The piece is laid-back enough for lunch with friends and fancy enough for a semi-formal fete.
Spotted Around Town
Did we mention that polka dots are among the season's most highlighted patterns? They make for cute summer outfits for women, that's for sure. Polka dots tend to lend a vintage-inspired vibe to any outfit, and the Back to Yesterday Polka Dot Dress in black is definitely retro. From the full skirt and halter-style bodice to the breezy cutout in the back, it's a dream of a little black dress. You can snag it in white, as well, but for a versatile summer piece, consider black. Wear it to work with a cardigan, to game night with friends, or a more formal event.
The Perfect Statement Piece
Sometimes, you don't need a one-and-done outfit to attain maximum wardrobe potential. Often, you simply need to make sure you have at least one statement piece in your summer wardrobe. This season, kimono cardigans are all the rage. It's not hard to understand why. A kimono cardigan can dress up jean shorts and a tank top. It can soften a sharp office outfit. Slip it on over a dress for extra drama. A kimono cardigan is stylish, theatrical, and adds the perfect pop of color to just about any ensemble. For a summertime vibe, we're wild about the Expression of My Heart Floral Kimono in mint. How about you?

A Message from Nancy
Chiapas 2014 Final Thoughts
On February 20th, the remaining six members of our team-Helen, Lia, Thalia, Aaron, Bob and I arrived back in Minnesota. Another Minnesota blizzard delayed our return home from the extended trip, forcing us to spend an unintended extra night in Minneapolis. Thanks to some quick phone calls, Helen was able to find us a nearby hotel so we could "wait out the storm".
The next day-February 21, we made our final journey back to our homes/workplaces. Bob and Aaron bravely (and safely) drove us home from Minneapolis as they fearlessly tackled the ice and snow packed highways, the drifting snow and sometimes difficultly visibility. We were grateful for their skillful driving abilities.
The Chiapas team of 2014 was certainly successful and memorable. After returning home, I soon missed the clinic days of Chiapas Mexico and the team that quickly became a family that laughed together, prayed together, worked hard together, and sometimes cried together. A van full of eager volunteers chattering on our way to our next clinic was replaced with the eerily quite ride alone to the Wells and Winnebago clinics. The beautiful sights of the Chiapas hillsides, valleys and rivers, the villages, the markets and colorful tiendas were replaced with the chill of a Minnesota's winter wind; snow covered highways, and the challenges of winter driving in Minnesota.
I still ponder and marvel at the work our team accomplished: how quickly we were able to get a clinic set up and running, the efficiency of our pharmacy team (Helen and Kyle), the tireless work of the interpreters (Lia, Thalia, Curtis and Val), the patience of our nurses (Colette and Sherry) who dealt with long lines of patients waiting to be seen, and the passionate care of our providers (Dr. Bob, Dr. Aaron and Dr. Don) as they affectionately cared for the person in front of them without the luxury of fancy x-ray's, scans and lab work.
My thoughts still drift back to the memories of the people we served, the gratitude of the people we helped, the volunteers of the villages that helped our team and their people, the nuns who so caringly prepared some of our meals, and the beauty of a country and it's people.
Yes- poverty, the illnesses related to poverty and the struggles' of the people of Chiapas surrounded us daily and filled our hearts with sorrow and sadness. However, I believe everyone on this team found joy in caring for the people of Chiapas, felt privileged to have the opportunity to be a part of MDP, and selflessly shared their talents and time to care for God's children.
We were humbled by the gratitude, patience, faith and devotion to family demonstrated daily by the people we served-the people of Chiapas.
Our lives are forever changed by the people we meet, the things we do, the places we go and the experiences we have.
I thank God for a safe and successful trip, for the financial supporters of MDP and for our family and friends who kept us in their prayers while we were gone.
I very grateful for each member of this team: the new friends, the reunion of old friends and the opportunity to work with my hometown friends/co-workers. I miss you dearly.
And lastly, I am forever grateful for the opportunity to work with MDP and serve side by side with our co-leader, Lia.
Lia spends endless hours in the months prior to our trip making arrangements for transportation, reservations for our team, coordinating the volunteers in Chiapas and setting up clinic dates for our mission in Chiapas. Lia's passion for the people of Chiapas, her enthusiasm, her energy and her determination are so admirable. You are inspirational!
Thank-you Team Chiapas 2014! You have made a difference in the lives of many people in Chiapas… and you have touched my heart in so many ways!
God Bless, Nancy
A Message from Colette
As the first part of the 2014 Chiapas Team headed home, we left a part of our heart in Mexico. Not only were we leaving half of our team to go on for more clinics near Comitan, but we were leaving many wonderful people of another culture and country. We met, ate, cared for, and talked with a few old friends and many new acquaintances. Many of these people will live in our hearts forever. They have promised to pray for us and although many of us will keep them in our prayers, like me I forget to tell them that as I leave their village. We have lived daily with them and their lack of worldly goods, but we have also witnessed their joy and deep abiding faith in their god and the care and compassion they have for family and community. Most villages are a community of very private people and we have felt honored and blessed to share their joys, concerns and emotions and to become a part of their life.
The re-entry into our normal daily life is not always an easy one. Our trip home brought forth the great difference of time and rushing through life that we experience at home but is not normally experienced during our trip. We had mechanical difficulties in Mexico City which made it impossible to catch our flight out of Atlanta. As we raced through customs, the airport from one gate to the next and then on to another one just to see if we would be allowed on a flight, I thought, "Why do we do this?" I know each one of us had a reason to get home: jobs, meetings, family, and of course getting ahead of the weather. That night as I sat in the airport with several of our remaining teammates, I thought now is the time to reflect and remember what the trip was really all about. We travelled to Chiapas to learn, to heal, to minister, to pray, to touch lives and have our lives touched and be changed forever. I forgot about the past week as I raced from one end of the airport to the other and was glad to have the chance to slow down and remember the peace, joy, contentment and love I experienced with the wonderful people in Chiapas. We are all happy to be back in our comfortable homes, but a piece of our heart was left behind.
Greetings from San Cristobal. We returned tonight after completing a very interesting and amazing exploratory trip to the Comitan area of Chiapas. Working with Father Miguel Palumbo and Sister Marisela Uribe we traveled a little over 3 hours from San Cristobal into an area which has been greatly underserved. They have been requesting that we come for the past three years and we are sure glad that we were finally able to.
We traveled through perhaps the most beautiful scenery yet which we have seen in Mexico. The many beautiful shades of green grass and forested mountain areas brought breathtaking views at every turn. We set up our clinic in Playa Azul, a small village in the mountains of about 2000 people. This is tucked in an area which Father and Sister serve with a population of 30,000 people all of which are small mountain towns invisible as you drive along the mountain highways. This area is far in the south of Mexico - almost into Guatemala.
During our two and a half day clinic 26 villages brought people in to see our doctors. We saw 197 people with just 2 doctors, so as you might imagine we all worked very hard but were so happy to serve them. Their gratitude, respect and kindness at every turn was heartwarming. It is late as I write this. We are leaving early in the morning. We will share more of our experience in the next blog.
- Helen Peterson & team
And On To Comitan!
Last night we had our final team gathering in the upstairs lobby of our hotel. We shared our stretch and and our treasure. Some shared personal stories of a child they helped, an interesting 85 year old woman who said that it was a good thing she took care of herself because her children didn't, and many more. We shared how we had all worked together so well as a team and how it was nice to have mother and son (Colette and Kyle), a doctor and his nurse who had worked together for so many years being re-united in work (Don and Sherry), a sort of like mother daughter duo (Nancy and Val), the value of feeling re-invigorated through service and so much more. It was a heartwarming time.
This morning at 5 a.m. half of the team left left to return to their families Sherry, Don, Val, Kyle, Colette and Curtis headed off to the airport for a long day of travel. We will be leaving soon for Comitan. That is - Bob, Thalia, Aaron, Lia, Nancy and me. We have been asked by a community in need to serve them. Before taking a full team we will explore the area and run some smaller clinics. I am not sure if there will be internet or phone service there so we will share more when it is possible. Please know that we are all well and ready for the second part of the trip.
Thanks for your support and care.
-Helen Peterson and the team

Our Last Full Team Clinic
We finished our last full team day of clinics today in a village called San Antonio Los Baños. It was a shorter drive for us- perhaps a half hour. The name does not mean bathroom as many might think - but rather speaks of a spring or well near the town. More on that later.
This is a new village for MDP. We felt very blessed to be in such a beautiful spot. With soaring mountains and a deep blue sky, the sun kissed, warm day was a wonderful experience for the team. We worked at a little slower pace as the numbers of people were not as large. But many families had multiple needs and the doctors and interpreters worked hard to help them. Once again we were warmly received. Aaron and Curtis saw a 100 year old woman who actually had a very good blood pressure. They were able to help her with some painful arthritis issues. We could see how much families love each other. Big brothers and sisters helped their moms and again it was a very good day for MDP. Working in the pharmacy affords the opportunity to watch the nurses greet the people and do their intake work. We can see and listen to the doctors and interpreters as they listen and care for the people. And it is surely a blessing to be in their midst.
We saw 79 patients today. Combined with the 128 yesterday as well as the previous 552 we ended up with 759 total. We are grateful for the efforts of every team member. Without everyone it would not be possible. After the clinic was over, we hiked up to see the springs for which the town was named. It was a steep hike but really interesting. The town folk told us about the legend involving a young woman who was crying because she had to walk so far for water. A mysterious woman appeared and showed her this spring to get fresh water. It is considered to be a holy place. We enjoyed seeing the village on our trek.
Tonight we have our team appreciation dinner. More later...
A Reflection By Curtis
It is always an emotional experience to finish a day of clinic. I often have the feeling tha I want to do more. And, when the leaders of the community express their appreciation, I feel a sense of friendship formed between our team and the community. It was especially moving as we left yesterday from San Antonio las Banos. There finally came time after the clinic to get to know the community better - visiting the sacred well that gave this community its name with a half dozen people from the village. Having time to play around with a few kids and see them break out in laughter was so much fun!
One night at dinner, Thalia, Sherry and I met a couple from England. We explained to them what we were doing in the clinics. The husband asked what we were able to do. We talked about the many infections and pain we can alleviate as well as helping people understand the chronic conditions they were suffering. The husband seemed satisfied with the answer, but his question stuck with me. I kept thinking about that.
Coincidentally, I saw the same English couple at a different restaurant the next night. After some small talk, I followed up on his question. I explained that I understand that what we do is one drop in the ocean but the point is to focus on the individual. While we may not be able to change the underlying circumstances that perpetuate poverty and lack of health care, what is the value of teating a family with three kids visibly sick from chronic infection; or a girl with a foot infection who may have gone septic without an antibiotic injection; or helping to encourage a woman with a life-threatening blood clot to get to the hospital or relieving the pain in a workers knee with a cortizone injection? Chiapas may not have changed visibly while we were here, but almost 800 people with their own worries, hopes, joys and burdens were healed or are on their way to better health care. Perhaps most important, a connection was made between the human beings. A small connection to more peace, solidarity and goodwill changing people and mankind.

Historic Interest
On Nottingham Civic Society's Draft Local Heritage List (09 December 2013), which notes that the 1928 "white faience frontage with Home Ales livery and larger-than-life fox" is by architect AE Eberlin. This facade hides a much older building behind the 1928 frontage. Prior to 1928 when it became the Fox, the pub was known as the Fox & Owl. More recently in 1989 it became known as Number 10, despite the fact that its address is actually 67 Upper Parliament Street (Whitworth 2010). In 1876 the Fox & Owl was a fully licensed establishment under victualler C. Hurt, when the street number was 67B (Post Office Directory). In Nottingham City Council's Old Market Square Conservation Area. As at November 2017, the Parliament Bar & Kitchen freehold (NT366429) was owned by Punch Partnerships (PTL) Limited [Reg.
