Under the DSG, timeSensor Ltd informs its customers about any possible data processing.
11.1 The extent of data processing
timeSensor Ltd collects customer data when an order is placed, either as part of an in-person or an online contract initiation. In addition to personal data, depending on the service provided, various types of data are also collected via the technical infrastructure, such as hardware serial numbers, software licensing, network environment, installation routines and IP addresses.
The software itself transmits certain technical data to timeSensor Ltd's server at regular intervals, such as:
- – Build numbers, version numbers, license numbers, host computer MAC addresses, etc.
- – In connection with specific error messages: the location in the program where an error has occurred and the time of occurrence of the error, error description, user, environment information, such as the version of database used and the operating system
- – In connection with updates: the version number of the software currently being used
- – In connection with the validity of the license: the license key
11.2 The purpose of data processing
The data collected by timeSensor Ltd will only be used for the purpose of providing comprehensive customer service and for fulfilling specific contractual obligations, including troubleshooting, product improvement, license validity, update maintenance and quality assurance. timeSensor Ltd is also entitled to use the data for information purposes regarding other products.
11.3 Transfer to third parties
If timeSensor Ltd cooperates partially with other companies for the purpose of fulfilling the contract (ordering hardware, software, licenses, domains, etc.), it may be necessary for certain data to be made available to these companies as part of fulfilling the contract. In this case, only the data necessary to fulfill the contract will be transferred. The data will not be transferred to third parties for marketing purposes.
11.4 Transfer abroad
timeSensor Ltd is also entitled to transfer the data to commissioned third party companies abroad if this is appropriate for the processing of data described in this section. These companies are obliged to the same extent as timeSensor Ltd for data protection. If the data protection level in a country does not correspond to the data protection level in Switzerland, timeSensor Ltd will guarantee this protection in the contract.
11.5 Data security
timeSensor Ltd protects the data in accordance with the legal requirements and takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data access, transport, storage and input. These security measures are continuously adapted and improved in accordance with technological developments.
11.6 Entitlement to information, correction or deletion
Customers have the right to assert their data protection rights at any time and to request information on whether and what personal data is being processed about them. Customers can have their personal data corrected, blocked or deleted at any time by sending a written notice and proof of their identity. Customers are aware of the fact that even after a request to block or delete their personal data, their personal data must be partially retained as part of the legal or contractual obligation to retain data (for example, for billing purposes). Furthermore, deletion of this data may result in the customer no longer being able to use or to obtain certain services, products, software etc., from timeSensor Ltd.
11.7 Consent
By using the software, the customer agrees to the processing, use and disclosure of the data within the scope and to the extent described in this section.
Software Maintenance Contract for timeSensor® products
1. Services of timeSensor Ltd
On payment of the corresponding annual or monthly fee, the Software Maintenance Contract provides the customer with available software updates for the software licensed by the latter as well as the use of a telephone information service (hotline) according to the following provisions:
Software updates timeSensor Ltd informs the customers about new updates and makes them available on request, whereby timeSensor Ltd determines the choice of medium. Updates are usually done online and require the customer to have a functioning Internet connection. The customer has to update the software environment in advance if an update requires this. Software maintenance does not include an installation service on the part of timeSensor Ltd.
Updates are at the discretion of timeSensor Ltd for the purpose of troubleshooting and general improvements to the software. However, major upgrades are connected with new features or enhancements to the software, or are effected in the case of upgrades in the software environment (e.g. in the OS or database server). Major upgrades are not covered by the Software Maintenance Contract. Major upgrades may incur additional charges.
Hotline The telephone helpline (hotline) supports the customer by phone during programme operation in problem situations. The hotline is available to the customer via a (standard tariff) phone line on each working day from 09.00 to 12.00 and 14:00 to 17.00 (CET). In the case of software licenses with a monthly licence fee, the price list for the hotline of timeSensor®, valid at the time of performance applies, and is invoiced accordingly. In other cases, the helpline is free of charge as part of a Software Maintenance Contract.
The information provided on the Hotline is limited to instructions of a maximum duration of 30 minutes or to instructions in the FAQ or in the training videos. No training is provided on the hotline. If there is a need for more training, appropriate paid services (training or workshops) are available.
For the installation of software updates, as well as to diagnose problems related to the hotline service, the customer allows timeSensor Ltd expressly to access his server, using the third party software TeamViewer. TeamViewer is pre-installed at delivery on the customer's server. At the customer's request and at an additional cost timeSensor Ltd can substitute the access via TeamViewer by a VPN access.
2. Remuneration
2.1 General
The software maintenance fee is dependent on the software to be maintained and according to the existing Software Licence Agreement and is determined in accordance with the contract with the customer or the order confirmation of timeSensor Ltd. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the software maintenance packages are calculated annually.
All software maintenance packages are, unless expressly stated otherwise, plus VAT current at the time of conclusion or renewal of the contract.
One-time and recurring payment obligations of the customer are due immediately from contract inception for the duration of the respective pay period, insofar as timeSensor Ltd does not expressly indicate a later due date.
In the absence of a payment being received by timeSensor Ltd, and even without a reminder, the customer shall default at the latest 30 days after the due date.
2.2 Surcharges
Orders placed outside of defined on-call times are performed by timeSensor Ltd as possible and according to available capacity. Expenses will be charged according to the contractually agreed regular hourly rates, plus the following surcharges:
- – Monday to Friday, after 5 p.m.: +25 %
- – Saturday: +50%
- – Sunday: +100%
3. Duration and termination of the contract
The duration of the Software Maintenance Contract is determined in the contract with the customer or the order confirmation of timeSensor Ltd. It ends without notice after the expiry of the agreed period as determined in the contract. This applies to the Software Maintenance Contract as a whole, regardless of any change of licence or extension.
If timeSensor Ltd delivers an invoice to the customer after the expiry of the contract, this then constitutes an offer to extend the contract. Upon payment of the invoice amount within one month, the customer accepts the offer.
Insofar as the customer does not want to close the Software Maintenance Contract simultaneously with the Software Licence Agreement, or if the customer wants to renew the Software Maintenance Contract before or after its end, as well as in the event of a prolonged interruption or an initial agreement, this involves a (new) Software Maintenance Contract in each case beginning on the date of expiry of the pre-existing Software Maintenance Contract (or without a pre-existing Software Maintenance Contract on the date of conclusion of the Software Licence Agreement). In this case, this date is also used to calculate the authoritative expiry date (Example: The original Software Maintenance Contract ran from 1.1.2013 to 31.12.2013 and was subsequently not renewed by the customer. On 15 June 2014, the customer again wants to enter into a Software Maintenance Contract for one year until 14 June 2015. The beginning of the Software Maintenance Contract relates back to the date of expiry of the pre-existing contract. It therefore begins on 1 January 2014 and ends on 14 June 2015, with the fee being calculated according to this contract period).
In the event of default of payment, timeSensor Ltd may terminate the Software Maintenance Contract in writing or by e-mail at any time with immediate effect.
The customer may terminate the Software Maintenance Contract in writing or by e-mail at any time with immediate effect.
In the event of early termination of a Software Maintenance Contract, the customer is not entitled to a refund with respect to the software maintenance fees.
4. Further provisions
Clauses 6 and 8 of the above GTC of the Software Licence Agreement are also applicable to the Software Maintenance Contract.
Server Maintenance Contract of timeSensor Ltd
1. Introduction
In the daily work with timeSensor®, one tends to forget that the heavy lifting of data storage is done by the "4D Server" database – and the latter works only as well as the physical server (hereinafter the timeSensor® server), which it houses.
2. Scope of performance
Depending on the services chosen by the customer (according to the individual agreement), timeSensor Ltd provides the following services:
2.1 Basic package
- • Monitoring of the timeSensor® server
- o Monitoring log files monthly

- – Monday to Friday, after 5 p.m.: +25 %
- – Saturday: +50%
- – Sunday: +100%
Most services are preventive in nature. In the event of a malfunction, timeSensor Ltd supports the customer in the troubleshooting. The fix is usually handled (especially in the case of hardware defects) by a local service provider that may be retained and remunerated by the customer.
Individual maintenance work (especially installation, database reorganisation, database repairs) may cause temporary service interruptions. This maintenance window will be determined in consultation with the customer. timeSensor Ltd strives to keep the service interruptions as short as possible. There is no entitlement to maintenance windows outside of the standby time.
2.2 Reduction of the maximum response time
Beginning of the fault diagnosis within 4 hours of receipt of the fault report during the working hours of timeSensor Ltd.
2.3 Increasing security
Remote maintenance via VPN instead of TeamViewer; setting up by the customer through local technicians (not included)
2.4 Online secondary back-up
- • Establish an online back-up

If necessary and without prior consultation, timeSensor Ltd will procure licences directly from 4D on behalf and for the account of the customer. timeSensor AG merely concludes a maintenance contract between the customer and 4D, whereby the free access of the customer is guaranteed on new versions of 4D. The content of this 4D-maintenance contract, in particular the price of the 4D maintenance, shall be governed by the terms of 4D Inc. and may be adapted.)

Special back-up server conditions:
- • Lead time from order to provision of back-up server in an emergency: 2 weeks
- • Settlement of the service surcharge from standby of the online back-up server
- • For technical reasons, access to the online back-up server is slower than to a local server. This may considerably reduce the operating speed of the timeSensor® Software.
3. Common provisions
3.1 Conditions for the provision of services
The following requirements apply especially to the service performance:
- • The customer's server to be serviced is accessible via a permanent broadband Internet connection;
- • The customer's server to be serviced is provided with a functioning UPS power supply;
- • The 4D server is used by the customer as the database;
- • The customer has installed and licensed timeSensor®;
- • The customer will provide timeSensor Ltd with access to their system (via TeamViewer or VPN), to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract;
- • In certain cases, additional requirements may be announced.
3.2 Maintenance time
The performance intervals for the individual maintenance tasks are indicative (+/- 15 business days for monthly performance, +/- 40 business days for annual performance). The exact time of execution is at the discretion of timeSensor Ltd.
3.3 Payment/invoicing
The price of the services depends on the individual contract. Payments shall be made annually in advance and payable by cash transfer. timeSensor Ltd provides a written statement of this. Upon termination of the service contract by the customer, a refund of payments already made is excluded.
3.4 Reporting
timeSensor Ltd reports to the customer periodically about the services actually provided. Critical diagnoses, i.e. diagnoses that trigger action on the customer side, will be separately communicated as they become known in a manner corresponding to the urgency (e-mail, phone).
3.5 Other provisions
In the event of missing or inadequate service, the customer should inform timeSensor Ltd in writing within 8 working days of discovery of the defect; at the latest, however, within eight days since the last report, otherwise the service provided by timeSensor Ltd shall be taken to comply with the contract.
In the event of a timely reminder, timeSensor Ltd has a right to supplementary performance. The supplementary performance period is (from the receipt of each reminder) 8 working days for a monthly service and 20 working days for an annual service. Work and rest days are based on the official calendar of the Canton of St. Gallen. If the missing or inadequate service subsequently becomes obsolete, timeSensor Ltd will omit the subsequent performance of the service in question, unless the customer expressly insists on it being effected.
If the failure of the provision of contract services is for reasons that lie in the sphere of influence of the customer (especially lack of access permissions, lack of availability of the IT infrastructure, faulty hardware, lack of collaboration), then timeSensor Ltd will immediately inform the customer of this by e-mail. In the event of a longer lasting impediment, a one-time notification is sufficient. timeSensor Ltd has the right, following consultation with the customer, to retry the service performance within 8 working days.
If the barriers to performance of the service lying in the sphere of influence of the customer are not eliminated during these 8 days, the contract for timeSensor Ltd shall be considered to have been fulfilled.
If the contract for timeSensor Ltd is made considerably more difficult due to causes that are outside the sphere of influence of timeSensor Ltd and the customer, the parties shall negotiate a contract adjustment. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the contract is considered to be terminated with respect to the service in question from the date of occurrence of the external cause. A major impediment to performance is assumed to represent a 1/3 increase in expenses.
3.6 Liability
Liability for late or improper performance is limited to the contract value of each service.
Liability for consequential damages is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
External service providers such as 4D are not auxiliary persons of timeSensor Ltd. timeSensor Ltd acts solely to establish a contractual relationship between the customer and the external service providers. Therefore, timeSensor Ltd is not responsible for any lack of performance of the contract by external service providers.
3.7 Termination
The minimum contract period is one year. Thereafter, the Server Maintenance Contract may be terminated in writing or by e-mail by the customer or timeSensor Ltd at any time with a notice period of three months end of month.
Additional offerings and services of timeSensor Ltd
1. General
timeSensor Ltd provides additional offerings and a broad spectrum of services. As a rule, individual quotes and agreements govern such additional offerings and services. In addition, these general conditions apply.
2. Custom programming by timeSensor Ltd
timeSensor Ltd endeavors to adapt the customer's system to the customer's expectations to the extent technically possible. Each program customization normally consists of the two work packages "Analysis and Quotation" and "Implementation, Testing and Acceptance".
2.1. First work package: Analysis and Quotation
The first work package contains analysis and initial testing and creates the basis for the quotation. The Customer is aware that timeSensor Ltd must typically spend several work hours to determine whether the desired customization/programming is feasible and how this can best be implemented. The costs and conditions for the first work package are based on the individualized quote.
Following completion of the first work package, timeSensor Ltd will make a binding offer to the Customer. In the event that the analysis shows that the desired customization cannot be performed, or if the customer declines to proceed, the costs to the Customer are limited to this first work package.
2.2. Second work package: Implementation, Testing and Acceptance
If the Customer decides to carry out/continue the work performed by timeSensor Ltd, implementation is then performed in line with the custom quotation.
2.3. Specifications and schedule
2.3.1. Specifications
The specifications define all requirements (including functional and technical specifications, operating conditions, performance parameters, quality standards and interfaces) which the program customizations to be provided by timeSensor Ltd must meet. The customer is responsible for developing the specifications. timeSensor Ltd will advise the customer on the preparation of the specifications. Additional costs which result from erroneous or incomplete specifications shall be borne by the customer, insofar as these expenses cannot be attributed to inadequate advice on the part of timeSensor Ltd.
2.3.2. Schedule
timeSensor Ltd will perform the customization work in phases, inasfar as necessary. The scope and objectives of the individual phases, as well as any agreed dates and milestones, will be communicated to the customer. If timeSensor Ltd cannot meet an an agreed date for reasons for which it is responsible, it will take all necessary measures to fulfill its obligation as soon as possible and keep the length of the overrun as short as possible.
If a milestone has been agreed and timeSensor Ltd cannot meet it for reasons for which it is responsible, the customer shall grant it a reasonable grace period. This may result in subsequent dates and milestones being delayed accordingly.
2.4. Customer's duty of cooperation
With regard to program customization, the customer shall observe the duty of cooperation agreed in the specifications in a proper and timely manner.
Upon request, the customer will provide timeSensor Ltd with the information and documents necessary for program customization and will grant access to its buildings and technical facilities to the degree required. The customer will make the decisions incumbent on it in connection with program customization within a reasonable time and inform timeSensor Ltd of same.
The Customer's employees or consultants employed as part of program customization must be qualified to meet the associated requirements.
2.5. Acceptance test
The scope of the acceptance test by the customer covers the program customization ("work result") developed by timeSensor Ltd in accordance with specifications. The purpose of each acceptance test is to verify whether the work result satisfies the requirements agreed in the specifications.
timeSensor Ltd will inform the customer in writing of its readiness for acceptance. The acceptance test will be completed regardless of any defects that may arise. The customer can require up to two working days for an acceptance test.
An acceptance test is considered to have been successfully completed if no significant defects are identified. Insignificant defects will not prevent acceptance. Deviations from the requirements stipulated in the specifications which significantly affect or preclude the intended use of the work result by the customer are regarded as material defects.
Insignificant defects are deemed to be all deviations from the requirements agreed in the specifications which do not constitute material defects.
Insignificant defects will be remedied by timeSensor Ltd at its own expense within 30 business days from the date of the acceptance report.
Significant defects must be remedied by timeSensor at its own expense within 15 busines days from the date of the acceptance report.
2.6. Warranty
After acceptance of the work result, timeSensor Ltd warrants that it will meet the requirements agreed in the specification for six calendar months from the date of acceptance.
During the warranty period, timeSensor Ltd will correct any deviations from the specifications identified and reported by the customer within 20 business days of notification by the customer.
timeSensor Ltd is relieved from the warranty obligation insofar as a deviation is due to circumstances beyond its control.
2.7. Liability
Liability for direct or indirect as well as immediate and mediate damages is excluded to the extent legally permissible. This exclusion applies to both contractual and non-contractual or quasi-contractual claims. The Parties' liability for damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent behavior and claims arising from product liability remains reserved.
2.8. Rights to the work result, license for the Customer
timeSensor Ltd integrates the work result into the source code of the timeSensor application. All rights to the work result, in particular intellectual property rights such as copyrights, will be fully and exclusively transferred to and/or remain with timeSensor Ltd. The customer receives a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license for the intended use of the work results as part of the order. Unless consent has been obtained from timeSensor Ltd, the customer is prohibited from using the work result in any form on behalf of third parties, whether in whole or part, and if prohibited from using, duplicating, modifying, distributing, developing or conveying it to third parties.
3. Use of Cloud Software services
timeSensor Ltd will provide the customer with support in the use of Cloud software services (e.g., https://xcloud.me). The customer is free to choose a provider of Cloud software services ("Cloud Provider"). timeSensor Ltd is not obligated to accept a provider chosen by the customer.
3.1. timeSensor Ltd as mediator and/or authorized representative of the Customer
When using services from Cloud Providers, in all cases timeSensor Ltd acts solely as a mediator and/or authorized representative of the Customer. The contractual relationship always arises directly between the Cloud Provider and the Customer. The Customer uses the service of the respective Cloud Provider at its own risk and expense. With respect to the Cloud Provider, the terms and conditions of the respective Cloud Provider take precedence in the applicability to the customer.
3.2. Responsibility of the Cloud Provider
The Cloud Provider is in particular solely responsible for provision and technical operation, any service level agreements (SLA), remedying failures/malfunctions, availability, etc. timeSensor Ltd bears no responsibility vis-a-vis the Customer in this regard. Within the framework of what is legally permissible, timeSensor Ltd's liability is generally excluded and is limited to gross negligence and/or intent. The exclusion of liability applies to both contractual and non-contractual as well as quasi-contractual claims.
3.3. Responsibility of timeSensor Ltd
As a rule, timeSensor Ltd solely handles the registration and payment of the those fees for the customer for which the latter must reimburse timeSensor Ltd. The customer is generally obligated to reimburse timeSensor Ltd for any out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by timeSensor Ltd as part of the proper performance of the contract. This applies in particular to expenses and costs vis-à-vis the Cloud Provider.

A Delivery From The Future:
Transport capabilities and responsibilities of drones have been increasing in number the past few years. Drones have a route that is unaffected by the everyday traffic jams, while also producing zero of the smoke and noise pollution to boot. Drone usage also consumes a lot less fuel for short trips, and maintenance due to accident related incidents far dwarfs that of their land-based delivery truck counterparts. Over the past few years, drone use has been advertised as an option for delivery on pizza places, online stores, and even local groceries. Slowly yet steadily, drones have been taking more and more deliveries away from trucks and motors.
And that's a good thing, as people can get their packages intact and at a shorter time frame, while also benefitting from a greener surrounding via solar/electric-powered UAVs.
A university campus in Singapore has taken the next possible step in this drone evolution. Partnered with the company Airbus, the campus plans on a drone-centric delivery system for parcels and deliveries in the campus. Linked up by physical stations where drones can launch and land, the university hopes that this can be a common sight in more areas in the next few years.
The idea is that a drone will fly between stations scattered strategically all over the campus, where they can take and deliver packages to each. The stations can also provide as a refueling station for the drones, making the process of delivery and dispatch a continuous process. A drone carrying a package goes to the target station, where it will land on its roof for item transfer. A robotic arm then gets the item from the drone, which then proceeds to put it at a locker meant for the item's receiver. People can then simply open the locker and get their items, all while drones continue on flying to their destinations.
Flight testing of this drone delivery system has been successful, with the drones being observed to be able of carrying items between 2-4 kilograms each.

Easter 4 – John 16 – May 11th, 2014
Christ is Risen (He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia) Amen
Christ is Risen (He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia) Amen
Suppose you were to visit your doctor and your doctor were to tell you that you need to have something done, some procedure, and you asked him about it, and he were to smile at you and say to you, "Oh, don't worry, it won't hurt a bit." Call me cynical, but when I hear that, I assume that it is going to hurt like the dickens. And this is just because it seems like so often, for whatever reason, we like to dance around the issue, wave our hands and say, "Oh, don't worry, it's nothing," when it really is. We even come up with neat names for this – it's "sugar coating" the truth, it's just trying to spare someone their feelings. No it's not. Its giving into fear. Fear that a person won't be able to handle a harsh truth. If I tell you what is real, what is going to happen, I'm afraid that you are going to utterly freak out – so my fear will make me lie to you.
Our Lord does not act out of fear – and when He needs to tell us something, He tells us, even if it is something uncomfortable, even something that we won't enjoy. Jesus is not one to whisper sweet nothings in our ears – rather, He will tell us how it will be. And that is what we see our Lord doing in our text for this Sunday – indeed, for our Gospel texts for the next three Sundays. Our Lord speaks these words to the Disciples on Maundy Thursday – and some of the things He says are great, and some, some speak to difficulty and challenge. After Easter, after our Lord's Ascension, things would be different for the disciples, and for them to be able to handle those changes, they needed to know what was going on. Jesus tells them the truth. Likewise, our Lord deals with us squarely, He tells us what to expect so that we can handle it. Let us see what our Lord instructs us today.
A little while, and you will see me no longer, and again, a little while and you will see Me. This throws the disciples all into a fluster. What does Jesus mean – we aren't going to see Him? That word "see" there has the implication of seeing someone who is around, who is there. In a little while, I won't be hanging around with you – I'll be taken away. And Christ here is speaking to His crucifixion. When He speaks these words, His Crucifixion is less than 24 hours away – that little while isn't long at all. And He admits that it's coming. There will be a point where you won't see Me, where I will not be here with you – I'll be hanging on a tree, I'll be placed in a tomb. And that's going to be rough. In fact, Jesus tells the disciples, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice." Truly, truly. Blunt and honest. The next few days are going to be hard on you. You will weep. You will lament. And even as you sorrow, you will see the wicked of the world rejoice, you will see crowds jeering and cheering. It will seem as though all the hosts of hell are laughing in your face. In a little while.
Note that Jesus doesn't soft-sell what is going to happen. Jesus doesn't pretend that what is coming won't be horrid, that it won't impact them, that it isn't a terribly hard thing. He doesn't play pretend. Rather this – He instructs the disciples to remember, in their grief, that they will see Him again. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. You will sorrow over Christ's death, but that sorrow will be banished and done away with when you behold the risen Lord. The change will be dramatic – When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. This is a wonderful image. No woman looks forward to the pain of labor or enjoys it – let's just get it done with, let's get through it – and then, when the labor is done, when the birth is complete – there is only the joy of the child, only the joy of the babe. That birth becomes not a tale of woe and strife, but something to be celebrated yearly, not only on the kid's birthday, but in May… with flowers and chocolate, right gentlemen? Same thing – the sorrows of Good Friday yield to the joys of Easter. Those sorrows are real, but they pass, and they are replaced by a wondrous joy.
This is the lesson that our Lord speaks to the disciples on Maundy Thursday, and it is an apt lesson, one that is quite appropriate for the disciples. But now, how does this lesson apply to us? What do we learn from it? First, we learn that we will have hardships in this world. Too often, we want to hide from the truth. We want to think that everything in our life will go our way – that because we are good Christian people that everything will be wonderful. Not so. I'd say that the disciples were better Christians than we are, and if they have to face sorrows, then we certainly will. And the reason for this is simple – we are still in the sinful world, we are still surrounded by those who will cheer on wickedness. In this world, bad things will happen, and then will happen to you. We can't pretend otherwise, we can't expect otherwise.
All too often we want to deny this, we want to listen to the people who will simply tell us that everything will come up roses. We can want to delude ourselves – and in so doing we miss out. Christ's solution isn't to tell you to close your eyes and hope it all goes away. Rather this – you will have sorrow – but Christ will turn even your sorrow to joy. When we consider our Risen Lord, when we consider that Christ has risen from death – we know what this means. That Christ Jesus has overcome the world, the world in which we face these sorrows, the world in which loved ones die, in which we face pain and suffering, where there are concerns and fears and people seeking our harm – Christ has risen and He has overcome this world – and so we will endure through the sorrows of this life until we share fully in His joy. In fact, knowing our Lord's victory, knowing His resurrection, this is how God gives us peace, gives us contentment, gives us joy even in the midst of our sorrows – our eyes are drawn to something more wondrous than our present sorrow – they are drawn to Christ.
And as such, our Lord instructs us something else. He shows us how Satan is going to attack us. When we have sorrows, the world will rejoice. The world will be loud and brash, and try to rub it in. The world will try to make it seem as though there is nothing else but sorrow for you, nothing else but problems, try to overwhelm you so that is all that you can see. Doesn't this happen? I'm sure each of us could tell times of when we were overwrought, overwhelmed, when everything in life seemed against us, seemed to beat down upon us. We've all been there – and it was bad, we can't deny that. But we don't receive comfort by denying that things are bad, that they are rough – rather this. We are focused upon Christ – we are shown our risen Lord, we are pointed again to the truth that Christ has conquered, that He remains, and thus, even in the midst of our temporal sorrows, we are pointed to the eternal joys that are ours in Christ. Satan tries to make us forget this, but our Lord draws us unto Himself, and so we have gladness.
In many ways, this service, this time together has as it's purpose to show you, to bring you into the reality of Christ's love and joy and forgiveness – to pull you out of all the junk out there in that world where things are going to be wild and wooly, and instead – here. See Christ. Hear His forgiveness. Over and over. Let Christ's death and resurrection color your world, be the largest, the biggest truth there is. Think about it – we entered this house and right off the bat – we confess our sins. We confess all the stuff in the world that splashed on us, that we splashed in, that we dragged in here – and all of it, right up front. And the response – you are forgiven. Right like that – your sins are great, they are like scarlet Christ has made you white like snow. We call out for mercy, and then we hear forgiveness. God does not take away His Holy Spirit from us, but gladly gives us His Word. Indeed, when we have the Supper here, Christ says "take and eat, take and drink" – here's His Body, Here's His Blood – you are forgiven. And this is real. Nothing in the world, nothing they do to you, nothing you've done and still kick yourself over – it cannot change the fact that Christ has died for you and He has risen for you – and when we see that, when we hear Him declare His peace to us again and again, we are centered in joy. Joy – not "happiness", not "excitement" – but Christian joy – that is confidence and assurance that even though everything around us fall apart – Christ is Risen, and so shall you.
Dear friends, let no one deceive you, let no one pull the wool over your eyes or try to pin your hopes in this life. Life in this world is hard – has been since the fall, and it will be until Christ returns. In this life you will have sorrow – but only for a little while, for our Risen Lord who has ascended will return, and then we will see His joys face to face, and they will be complete. God keep you firm in Christ Jesus, so that His joy might sustain you now, and be with you for all eternity. Christ is risen, (He is risen indeed, Alleluia) Amen.

High Gloss Curl Wax
I absolutely love it!
I love my Ashtae products. My hair dresser using the high gloss curl wax. I asked her about other products and she recommended the sili gloss. I purchased both and love both products. I have started wearing my hair natural and I have a soft texture hair. I don't want to cut it so most of the perm is gone accept for the ends. I get my hair using mouse under a dryer and curled. I have a short hair cut so I needed to purchase the lay and stay. I like the lay and stay, as well. The one product was interested in purchasing was the Freeze Spray but my hair dresser stated she did use it but the spray bottle gets clogged. I did not want to take a chance and purchase it. She did like the spray.

|Crash location
|Nearest city
|Vansycle, OR
1.6 miles away
|Tail number
|Accident date
|15 Dec 2003
|Aircraft type
|Erickson (Glasair) SHA Glasair TD
|Additional details:
On December 15, 2003, approximately 1416 Pacific standard time an Erickson SHA Glasair TD homebuilt aircraft, N434SW, registered to/operated by and being flown by an airline transport rated pilot was destroyed during collision with a pole/wires and subsequent ground impact during an unknown phase of operation approximately one nautical mile north of Vansycle, Oregon. The pilot and passenger both sustained fatal injuries. Visual meteorological conditions existed and no flight plan had been filed. The flight, which was personal, originated from Yakima, Washington, approximately 1345, and its destination was reported to be Walla Walla, Washington (refer to Chart I).
An ear witness reported hearing an explosive sound and noted smoke in the direction of the sound. Upon investigating the location he found the aircraft heavily fragmented at the ground impact site.
The aircraft was a single engine, homebuilt, composite, two-place plane with side-by-side seating (refer to Attachment G-I). Records maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) showed the pilot/owner was issued a certificate of registration for the aircraft on July 31, 2000.
The pilot had been issued an airline transport certificate with a multi-engine land rating on May 31, 1985, including commercial privileges in aircraft single-engine land. Additionally, he held type ratings in the Boeing 737, Beech 1900 and Swearingen SA-227 aircraft. A single flight log in the pilot's name was reviewed and the total flight time between the first flight logged (10/06/1966) and the last flight logged (12/11/2003) was approximately 11,212 hours. According to records maintained by the FAA he reported a total of 16,150 hours of flight experience as of the medical examination conducted on April 23, 2003, at which time he was issued a third class medical. The medical contained a limitation that the pilot must wear corrective lenses. It was not known whether he was in compliance with this requirement at the time of the accident. Toxicological evaluation of samples from the pilot was reported as negative (refer to attached report). Post mortem examination of the pilot was conducted by R. Stefancik, M.D., at Munselle Rhodes Funeral Home, Milton-Freewater, Oregon, on December 17, 2003.
An inspector assigned to the FAA's Hillsboro Flight Standards District Office conducted the on site examination. The accident site was located within an area of wind turbines and an anemometer pole measuring 50 meters in height was observed to have the top portion separated and lying on the ground near wing fragments, with the aircraft approximately 1,000 feet further east-northeast and the occupants thrown clear (refer to Chart II and photographs 1 through 6). A post crash fire consumed most of the aircraft. There were no known eyewitnesses to the accident.
The power company managing the wind turbine farm reported that Met tower number 132 stopped reporting wind information from its top anemometer approximately 1416 (refer to Attachment PC-I). The latitude and longitude of the tower was reported as 45 degrees 58.237 minutes North and 118 degrees 43.529 minutes West respectively. The FAA inspector reported the latitude and longitude of the ground impact site as 45 degrees 58.228 minutes North and 118 degrees 43.296 minutes West respectively (refer to Chart III).
Aircraft logs and records as well as the pilot's logbook and associated paperwork were returned to the aircraft's co-owner via two-day Federal Express on June 8, 2004.
The pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance with the anemometer pole/wires during low altitude flight. Contributing factors were the pole and the pilot's low altitude flight.

Air India Express, the budget arm of Air India, launched a new flight on August 17, 2015, connecting Varanasi, India, with Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The flight will operate three times a week and is expected to boost tourism and business between the two areas. Varanasi is an important pilgrim center, and Sharjah is a hub of economic activity. The new service was inagurated by Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapati and Tourism Minister Mahesh Sharma. The Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Shri Ashok Gajapathi Raju, and Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Culture (Independent Charge) and Tourism (Independent Charge), Dr. Mahesh Sharma, today jointly inaugurated the direct flight.
The Varanasi-Sharjah flight, IX 183, took off from Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport in Varanasi with 170 passengers onboard. Speaking on the occasion, Shri Ashok Gajapathi Raju said that the new flight will improve air connectivity. He also said that if Uttar Pradesh becomes more civil aviation friendly, connectivity will go up easily. He also emphasized the need to establish training centers to improve the skills of personnel in the aviation sector. At the inauguration ceremony, Dr. Mahesh Sharma said that Varanasi is an important destination for tourism particularly religious tourism. This flight will help in boosting the tourism in Varanasi.

If you are developing apps, you might have heard about InVision – a web app that provides prototyping ease for mobile and web design. For a free account, you can work on 1-3 projects by uploading (drag and drop) your screens to create interaction between them.With just a few clicks, your app is ready to be presented and shared to your team and shareholders. But did you know InVision Sync can speed your app a whole lot more?
Why is InVision the best?
InVision has taken many steps to increase the value of their services the original source. The latest, Craft by InVision LABS is one. I have yet to try it and will post a review once I do! But you can take a look at how InVision is making the development and design process a lot more quicker for us. Among many applications for prototyping out there, I can say that InVision gives one of the best user experience out there.
InVision Sync
Have you ever design an app and realize the tedious work of uploading and re-trashing your files over and over again on Google Drive or even InVision? Then you realize you have left so many .pdf notes from your client on your folder that leaves your computer cluttered? Introducing the one tool that will make you leave a smile on your face – InVision Sync. This is the tool that helps bridges your Sketch file to your InVision workspace.
What it does is takes all the updates you have corrected on Sketch to InVision – correcting existing screens in real-time so that your work is updated for your client. The client can also participate and leave comments on the screens and you can 'mark' it as complete once you have revised. I have heard how happy a client I worked with said to me that it left all the hard work of commenting on pdf behind.
Check out this video on how to install InVision Sync:
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4B3Zc8jOfU]
Not quite perfect
There is still some improvements needed for this app to be perfect. I find that once deleting an Artboard in Sketch won't delete it in Sketch. And deleting it in InVision Sync won't delete in their servers (it will reappear again!). Also, changing the name of an artboard in Sketch sometime later on might not change the one in your InVision project. In all these cases of problematic syncing, what you can do is make changes in InVision itself – rename, delete screens etc. Save your sketch files as normal, don't mess with the assets folder in InVision Sync and back-up your Sketch file as well.

When Outlander Season 3 had just started filming in Scotland, I was fortune enough to be part pf a group of journalists who were given the opportunity to visit the sets and talk to the main cast about what fans can expect in the coming season. After the dramatic events of the Season 2 finale left Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) adrift, we all wanted to know how soon it would be until we see them reunited, but also, how much the series would show of their lives for the twenty years we know them to be apart.
Though he was busy filming (since Jamie has a lot of story to go through in these first episodes), Sam Heughan was able to sit down with us all for a few minutes to talk about what Jamie's mental state is when we meet him again, what it's like for him being on his own without Claire, and the darkness his character will face in the wake of that turmoil. That interview is below, but first, here's a video compilation of the main cast graciously answering some more of my questions about Season 3. Stayed tuned for more Outlander content, interviews, and a Season 3 review coming soon!
Question: Could you start by just setting the scene for Jamie at the beginning of this third season; where we find him, and in what state.
SAM HEUGHAN: I suppose a slight departure from the books, we kind of pick up from where we left off. Jamie has lost Claire. He's sent her back to the future. He goes to battle thinking he's got only one thing left to do, and that's to die by the side of his men. He doesn't expect to survive. And so, when he does, it's a bit of shock to him. Then going through the next few episodes, we see the effect that that has on Jamie, on him sort of living without Claire, and recovering from the trauma of the battle. But also sort of losing his life.
So, it's a slight departure from the books, which is that, obviously in Diana's book, Jamie doesn't remember the battle. And actually, in the battle, Black Jack Randall appears, and there was sort of the final showdown between them. It's been a remarkable journey for Jamie, actually. It's really interesting few episodes. First few episodes.
What's it like when it's just Jamie, and not Jamie and Claire this time?
HEUGHAN: I think it's been, for him, a specific way. I mean, the first few episodes really are quite a journey. We cover a lot of time period as well. There's a lot that happens in the books that we've had to shorten, obviously, in a certain few episodes. But, we see him lose everything, to then finding a reason to live, which is his family … it's all he's got left. And without giving away too much, he sort of sacrifices himself to save them from the Redcoats. So he gets into prison, and that's where we meet another quite large character, Lord John Gray. And they have this really interesting relationship that transpires.
Speaking of Lord John Gray, have you done some scenes with David Berry (who plays him) yet?
HEUGHAN: I would say that we finished filming most of his stuff. Like all things on Outlander, it's a real trial-by-fire for a lot of people that come in. It's such a big world and you get thrust into this. And he landed, and was shooting the next day with jet lag from Australia, and his wife was due to give birth the day after he wrapped.
So, he had a lot going on! And he was remarkable. It's a really interesting relationship between those two. They develop this friendship that we will see transpire throughout further episodes and possibly seasons, or whatever. But yeah, it's a very complex relationship as well. And especially for Jamie, coming from his history with Redcoats, it's a sort of tough barrier for him to get over. But then, yeah, they do develop this quite intimate friendship.
Can you talk about how, over the course of the 20 years, how much has Jamie changed?
HEUGHAN: I think in Season 1, I started to see him as this sort of boy with no ties become a man. Season 2 he becomes the leader of men that he was meant to be.
