I must be doing something wrong, because I can think of PLENTY of times I tried to have a quiet hour and wound up feeling it was one more chore that helped an already crushing schedule get even more out of control.
Hope for the Weary Mom: Rest in God
When is the last time you truly rested?
As moms, we constantly feel stressed and pressured to keep busy and handle everything, at all times. When we finally do get a second to ourselves, it is usually used to finish up something we didn't get around to or to get a head start on whatever is next on the list.
This busy-ness can easily become an idol, and the pride-driven need to do it all on our own will quickly lead to a complete burn out. The best way to avoid burning out is to rest frequently and practice self-care–but what does that actually look like for busy stay at home moms?
What Does Rest Mean in the Bible?
First of all, we need to take a look at what rest really is. I think that many of us Christians often take the worldly idea of rest and self-care as the norm simply because of the culture we are currently in (and especially as moms often feeling overwhelmed):
- A luxurious spa day
- Naps
- A fun night out
- Taking a day off from household chores
- Sleeping in
- Sitting on the couch vegging out on our Facebook app…
Now I'm not bashing these things–and definitely enjoy participating in them–but really, the Bible gives a very different view of rest.
In studying this topic, I looked at lots of verses, got to the root meaning of the words used, and found I gained some great insight!
Physical Rest
In Genesis 2–when God Himself modeled rest–the word was used to mean that He refreshed, and desisted from exertion (according to the free Strong's Concordance App that I LOVE–here are more of my free favorites). So, in a sense, God was modeling physical rest.
Physical rest is also listed in Deuteronomy and Leviticus as commands, in relation to honoring the Sabbath–where the Jewish community was to refrain from work and remember that God had brought them out of slavery (Lev 19:3, 23:3, Deut 5:12, 15)–Now, I know that there is debate on whether Gentiles are called to honor the Sabbath, but I think that it is important to note whether you hold that belief or not.
It is clear that our flawed, mortal human bodies do, in fact, require physical rest. God designed us Himself with a need for sleep and the ability to experience fatigue. But I think there is a lot more to it than that!
Simply getting physical rest will not leave us feeling any less pressured, stressed, overwhelmed, burdened, or any of the plethora of other emotions us moms feel on a regular basis.
Just as there is a spiritual aspect to everything in God's word, there is certainly a spiritual aspect to resting!
Spiritual Rest
Referring back to Strong's, I found that the original text contained root words for rest which also meant these things: intermission, recreation, abode, the refreshing of Christianity, and to colonize or desist–among others. (I will list all of the verses I considered at the bottom of this post!)
In Leviticus 25, God spoke to Moses on honoring the Sabbath. Through him, God commanded the people to honor the Sabbath by working 6 years and resting in the 7th year–without tending to their land. God assured the people that if they were obedient in this practice He would sustain them by providing an abundance in the 6th year that would carry them through.
This was not only a call to physical rest from tending the land, but also to a spiritual rest in Him. I can't help but see an amazing parallel to modern times: If we are trusting in God and being obedient to Him, we are able to rest knowing that He will provide all that we need.
It is when we start to think that we can handle things on our own, or that something other than our Creator could fill that void and take away those feelings of unrest or weariness that we so often feel, that we stumble and lose sight of the truth: our rest is in Him.
So go ahead and take a break–get some sleep, enjoy a night out–but remember that those things aren't the solution and will not ultimately leave you feeling refreshed. That only comes from one source, and He is SO deserving of all of our time and praise.
Choosing Rest
Make sure that you establish a daily routine to continue drawing nearer to God so that you can continue relying on Him and being fulfilled from that. This is the absolute best and most efficient way to find true rest.
For example:
How many times have you felt that something was more pressing or important, in the moment, than spending time with God in prayer or in His word?
In contrast, how often have you spent time with God and realized that it messed up your entire schedule and now you are behind on your responsibilities?
I have never once experienced that spending time with God has taken away from something else, but rather that it helped me take care of my other responsibilities even better. That is the true definition of rest and refreshment.
In Exodus 31:13, God explains why He wants us to honor the Sabbath: as a sign that we know the Lord sanctifies us.
God wants us to come to Him, to trust Him to be our peace and to give us rest.
He wants to refresh us and equip us to handle what lies ahead.
He yearns for a personal relationship with us.
In my opinion, it is less about finding rest and more about seeking it. Rest is our choice. It is time to start choosing rest in God and feeling true refreshment rather than to trying to squeeze Him in at the end of the day. I don't know about you, but the longer I go without opening my Bible, the heavier that cover seems to get. Making time for God, as opposed to "finding time," is a crucial step in finding true rest in a Sovereign God that is unlike anything we could ever find in worldly things or in our own power.
Can you make time to rest today? Can you make time to spend honoring and bonding with our Amazing Creator?

You're right that physical rest alone won't relieve us of the feeling of being stressed and overwhelmed. That is why the Lord Jesus says, "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." The guides you have prescribed for getting both physical and spiritual rest are great. God bless you, your family and ministry in Jesus' name.

Well what can I say now? 2013 is gone for good. All I can see around are few crazy people, seemingly busy with their mobile phones sending each other an endless new year wishes. some too lazy to type their own, are seen forwarding the very messages they received from others. I think some people are welcoming the new year with anything but with a plagiarism without a guilt.
As for me, I am here in my office contemplating and mediating as to how to perform better in my coming days. I am equally wondering whether I would be able to live up to the expectations of my superiors. I am once again in my old office, receiving more phone calls and favors than the New Year gifts. My much anticipated 'thing about transfer' have finally come to nothingness, teaching me a lesson that everything including the words are emptiness. It taught me a lesson of life because in life our problem are ours own. Look for solutions within before. Disappointments are a great teachers and its worthwhile getting hurt once in a while.
But for now its not time to write about despair and disappointments. It's not even time to look back at things that struck us like poisoned arrows and caused miseries. But rather it's time for us to look forward to so many beautiful things that we have in store. It's time to heal the pains and mend the cracks of past. It's time to thank whoever for making us thus far. It's time for us to seek inspiration. Divinity is far but we can always strive to be humans at the least.
And befitting to mark the New Year, I was in Thimphu to offer Tashi Khadar to our new Director. I felt delighted beyond my words to be a part of crowd. After standing in queue for few minutes, it was finally my turn to unfurl the white scarf before my boss. Unlike others before me who choose to silently offer khadar, I really wanted to say few words. I wanted to say "Tashi delek" to him. It was also my desire to convey good wishes and greetings on behalf of my colleagues who couldn't make for the event. But no sooner did I offer my Khadar then he gave me a tight hug that sent me melting in my gho. I felt gagged and not many words other than "Tahsi Delek" came out from me. I then came to realize that words are less when heart is full. As I wrote in my earlier post I am happy beyond my words to have him as our leader. I am confident that he will set us all right. For now, let's all wish him good luck.
after a sumptuous lunch, I drove back to Paro with my partner Tashi. To our relief, the day was warm with lot of sunshine. As we drove back we thanked Sun for the warmth. Few more miles and we soon forgot how two of us struggled in a heater less car of my father-in-law in the freezing morning. We reached Paro in good condition. As we came out of the car, I thanked my partner for bearing my rough driving.
Before I end this Post, I would like to write little about the wonderful dinner my partner hosted for me. That evening, my kind partner, his beautiful wife, their handsome son and thier talented maid treated me like a king. I never knew that alau parata went that well with curd, beef curry and ezzay. After I dined to my fill, I thought that those chefs on TLC channel were not much better than my partner's family in terms of cooking. So thank you partner for the wonderful evening.
And yea, Dear friends, I wish you all the very best in 2014. Thank you all for finding time to read my ramblings.

Aug. 29, 2006 – As a fight over ballot access in Pennsylvania rages between the state's Democratic, Republican and Green parties, a new ruling against the former independent ticket of Ralph Nader stemming from a 2004 election fight threatens to compound the conflict.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that former presidential candidate Nader and his 2004 running mate Peter Camejo must pay more than $81,000 in court costs from a lawsuit that challenged the signatures they gathered to qualify for the polls.
In 2004, a group of Democratic-aligned Pennsylvania voters filed a suit to keep the independent candidates off the state ballot, successfully disqualifying nearly two-thirds of the 51,000 signatures gathered by campaigners. A lower court found phony signatures, including thousands of names apparently created at random. The maneuver ultimately cost Nader and Camejo their appearance on the Pennsylvania ballot that year.
The candidates were not accused of direct involvement in wrongdoing. In fact, it appears they, too, were defrauded by a contractor who generated fake names and signatures. Their attorney says the whole affair was part of an orchestrated attempt to sabotage the campaign, though they present no evidence of an actual conspiracy.
Some Pennsylvania progressives view Wednesday's decision as just another obstacle faced by independent and third-party candidates trying to access Pennsylvania's tightly guarded ballot. They say Democrats and Republicans have colluded to keep alternative tickets out of the way.
Democrats and Republicans need only collect 2,000 signatures to gain ballot access in Pennsylvania statewide elections, while third parties need 67,000.
"Everyone understands you can defeat democracy by stopping people from voting, but you can do it just as easily by controlling the ballot," said Basil C. Culyba, who represents Nader and Camajo in the case. Culyba told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "If you don't offer voters a choice, you've dealt just as crushing a blow as if you'd prevented them from voting."
Green Party candidates, fearing the financial burden they face when their ballot petitions meet costly legal challenges, are already dropping out of Pennsylvania races. The state's Green Party gubernatorial and lieutenant governor candidates for the current election both withdrew their ballot petitions, alleging that Democrats had threatened to challenge their documents line by line.
Marakay Rogers, who was running for governor, said she could not afford the legal costs of defending her candidacy, according to the Post-Gazette. Rogers estimated the fees at upwards of $10,000 per week, a figure that does not include plaintiffs' legal fees she might have been forced to fork over in the event she ultimately lost the case.
The Nader-Camejo court loss is compounded by the recent revelation that the Green Party's senatorial candidate, Carl Romanelli, has received a preponderance of his financial backing from Republican and conservative sources, presumably in an attempt to install Romanelli as a "spoiler."
The Associated Press and Philadelphia Inquirer have reported that at least $40,000, and possibly all $66,000, of the funds Romanelli's campaign spent on signature gathering came from Republican voters. In fact, even staffers from Republican incumbent Senator Rick Santorum's office have signed petitions to put Romanelli on the ballot.
Ironically, in a cycle reminiscent of the scenario that derailed the the Nader-Camejo ticket in the 2004 campaign, those and other suspicious signatures have become fodder for Democratic-aligned lawyers now challenging Romanelli's petition.

Christmas Trivia - Tallest Christmas Tree
Christmas Trivia - Tallest Christmas Tree
Where is the tallest Christmas Tree?
Several communities claim to be home to the world's tallest Christmas Tree.
Ferndale, California, has been lighting their spruce tree on Main Street since 1934. Ferndale claims that its tree, 150 feet tall, is the tallest living Christmas tree.
However, Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, claims that its decorated Grand Fir is 162 feet high, with a ten-foot star on top.
But in Blue River, Oregon, a decorated Douglas Fir is reportedly over 160 feet tall.
All three claim to be the tallest, but most sources grant Idaho's tree the crown.

GST May Not Significantly Boost Revenues in Short Term: Fitch
Global rating agency Fitch Ratings has said that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) reform, being pitched as India's biggest reform that will come into effect from July 1, may not boost revenues significantly in the next few years.
Commenting on the issue, Thomas Rookmaaker, Director, Sovereigns and Supranationals Group, Fitch Ratings said, "We do not expect it will lead to significantly higher government revenues in the coming few years."
"It may indirectly boost revenues in the medium term through higher GDP growth and more transparency," he added.
Rookmaaker further said that it will facilitate trade within India and reduce transaction costs.
As per reports, along with GST, Fitch Ratings has recognised demonetisation as a bold step aimed at curbing the use of black money and Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, Aadhaar, Make in India, FDI-related measures and labour market laws as other strong reforms.

May 3, 2017 Union Square Live, San Francisco, CA
Moonalice poster by John Seabury
According to Moonalice legend, Union Square is the home to great music and terrible plumbing. We got here today to discover that the toilets aren't working. Fortunately, Moonalice is on the case! Today's poster by John Seabury features Rota-Roota Moonalice, the tribal goddess of sanitation. She looked at the johns downstairs and told us that the real problem is figuring out who will pay for repairs to the sewer pipe. The good news is that we gave up toilets for Lent … or Hannukah … or Halloween … or something.

Today is the last day of September ! As the song goes… see you in September ..see you when the summer's through. I think this month flew by and I didn't see many of you! From a vacation gone awry (yes we were at The Outer Banks of N.C.) and had to fly home a week early, to beginning a kitchen remodel, catching a cold from singing in the rain (the temperature dropped 20 degrees) and being laid up for a week with no voice well, all I can say is …it's almost October. A NEW fresh start.
But the great news there is I've been COUNTING TO TEN and you know what that means! Yes, my 10 year anniversary full time in music. I have a wonderful evening planned for friends old and new but more on that later!
The highlight that ended this month was singing with a 20 pc. big band DCJB ( Dallas Christian Jazz Band ) for a musical Sunday morning church service. Quite different !My BFF is the pianist for this group and recruited me last year to join them. I told them straight out what my limitations might be but they have embraced me with open arms. This band is jazz all the way with great arrangements. From Woody Herman's the Preacher to Andre' Crouch or a little Gershwin to an inspirational arrangement I'm having done for the band of Johnny Mercer's Ac-cen-tu-ate The Positive.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I went in to the studio and recorded 4 new tunes , 2 that I'll be releasing for the big TEN party the end of October. My Fresh Vintage Jazz Ensembles are alive and well with lots of great events coming up for the next three months. That's it for now!
I thought you'd get a kick out of a throw back VINTAGE photo of me from 1972! Till next month ….I'm COUNTING TO TEN!

|1000 dpi DOF mode
DOF = Depth-of-field mode - to enhance depth of field for inclined surfaces. For 500 dpi and 250 dpi default depth of field is sufficient and extra DOF mode is only necessary for heavily inclined surfaces (>1-1,5 cm focus level difference).
Colour management
In a first step a standard white balance correction of the individual R, G, and B components is performed.
Secondly for an absolute color reproduction of the line scan camera, a standardized color calibration is achieved by using an IT8.7/2 target of defined size and color palette. The IT8-target is imaged by the scanner and an ICC-profile (ICC = International Color Consortium) is calculated on the basis of the defined reference values. Applying this ICC-profile to the digital line scans of the core sections afford best matches with true sediment colors and absolute comparability. Application of ICC-profiles is automatically done while processing the scan images in the lates version of smartCIS steering software.
Methodology Text Module
Users are welcome to adopt the following methodological text module as a template for cruise reports or other scientific publications. Please adapt setting specifications were necessary!
Sediment Core Imaging
Longitudinal split open core sections were imaged using the SmartCIS 1600LS line scanning system of the MARUM GeoB Core Repository (www.marum.de/en/Infrastructure/GeoBsmartCIS-1600-Line-Scanner.html). Split surfaces of each section was freshly scraped immediately prior to imaging in order to capture the ephemeral nature of sedimentary features as some features oxidize within minutes. All images were acquired at a standard resolution of 500dpi (250dpi/ 1000dpi). In order to retain the relative variability in sediment lightness throughout the expedition camera aperture was fixed at f/8. This aperture setting imaged most sediments without the need for further adjustment. All sections were scanned using two light sources in order to achieve best lighting situations and reduce potential shadow effects of rough surfaces. A white calibration of the system was done on daily basis using a standardized white tile. Absolute color reproduction of the line scan images is ensured through the automatic application of a IT8.7/2-target referenced ICC-profile built-in the steering software of the line scanner. Section images were directly saved to the curatical database system ExpeditionDIS as jpeg files. Output also included a tab-delimited text file with red, green, blue, lightness (%) values as well as red/blue ratios in 1 mm down-core resolution for each section.

Image Processing
The default save pathway for GeoB section line scan images is directly into our curatorial database system DIS (Drilling Information System). The GeoB-DIS (both in expedition as well as curation version) provides two sorts of pre-defined PDF core overview reports inlcuding line scan images:
- Core Overview Tab (showing up to 10 sections per page incl. a section list table on the right-hand side)
- Core Overview Image (showing up to 6 sections per page)
For further processing of GeoB core section line scan images the MARUM GeoB Core Repository applies a specifically designed GeoB macro collection used in WaveMetrics IGOR Pro (www.wavemetrics.com).
These macros enable quick creation of composite images for a whole MeBo drill site or a whole gravity core on one sheet. The macro collection also includes a template to easily create one page overview plots incl. line profile data, e.g. red/blue ratio or lightness, for publication in cruise reports.
Example 1 - 500 dpi scan

OWERRI—There was confusion yesterday at Imo state University, IMSU, following the fire outbreak which destroyed the Faculty of Humanities Annex.
Vanguard gathered in Owerri that the incident took place around 1: 15pm and the fire was said to have lasted for over one hour.
Vanguard was told that the affected building was renovated last year and construction was still ongoing.

However, many insinuations were made pertaining the likely cause of the inferno.
Many believed it was as a result of poor electrification of the building.
An eyewitness said: "By the time I came around, fire had engulfed the whole building. You could barely see what is happening inside the offices because of the smoke.
"What is more painful about this whole thing is that all the offices where damaged by the fire. The fire burnt all the office files, documents which I think were very useful."
"I want to ask, what will happen to students results in these offices. For me, I think we have lost some many important documents."
Another eyewitness who claimed to be working in the University, said: "Nobody put fire in this building. The cause of this fire outbreak should be traced inside the building.
"I say this because, the fire did not start from outside it started from inside the building. Something must have caused it. I believe it could be a kind of spark from the wire connections.
At time of filling this report around 04:31pm, the several calls placed to the the University Public Relations Officer, PRO, Ralph Njoku, was not going through.

Today is my husband's birthday! He's 33 today!
Yup, I totally robbed the cradle. He's a whole 19 days younger than me. And I don't care!
It's so funny that all three of us have our birthdays within weeks of each other. And yet we all have different signs! How awesome is that!
Kid was supposed to be born on November 27. When hubby found out our due date he suggested that in the future we should take the whole month of November off work to celebrate (we each get four weeks of vacation each year). I don't think he was really serious but her early birth put an end to that plan.

Covering the most amount of space with the least amount of material
Geodesic Domes are the strongest structure known in the architectural world. They cover the most amount of space with the least amount of material. Domes are portable, quick and easy to assemble and yet can withstand any snow and wind load required.
The American Institute of Architects awarded R. Buckminster Fuller a gold medal, acclaiming his invention, the geodesic dome, as "the strongest, lightest and most efficient means of enclosing space known to man".
The manufacturers have perfected the function and beauty of these portable Geodesic Domes over the last 30 years, in which time people have been living in them close to nature. Giving a comfortable and energy efficient environment, safe in high winds, heavy snows, and earthquakes!
Energy Efficiency
There are two reasons domes are energy efficient. The ambient airflow inside the dome is continuous, with no stagnant corners, requiring less energy to circulate air and maintain even temperatures. The energy required to heat and cool a dome is approximately 30% less than a conventional building. The second is the high volume-to-surface-area ratio, requiring less building materials to enclose more space. The lower the ratio of a building's outside perimeter to its enclosed living area, the less energy is required for building, heating and cooling.
The sphere has 25% less surface area per volume enclosed than any other shape. The dome combines the inherent stability of triangles with the advantageous volume-to-surface-area ratio of a sphere. The larger the dome, the more efficient it becomes. This is demonstrated by doubling the diameter, which encloses eight times the volume.

text: Eating healthy is best achieved by simply planning meals in advance, that way healthy food is ready when you're hungry. Almost any balanced meal you can make it home will be healthier than a typical fast food option. That said, there are an increasing number of healthy restaurants and takeout options available but it pays to scout them out and ask questions in advance. Writing out a weekly menu becomes a fun hobby for many health conscious people. Write down five or six dinner options for the next week. Create a grocery list, shop for ingredients, and plan ways to save time cooking on busy days. That way you'll be less tempted to cave in to cravings or grab unhealthy meals on the go. The more often you plan your meals in advance, the easier it will be to make healthy choices that support healthy weight loss goals. Many essential oils can be used to flavor your food, check out doTerra's blog to find new recipes that use essential oils.

The Veg heads are an on-going series of personal illustration work. The first iteration was inspired equally by a serious conversation about despression and from a much lighter day harvesting giant cabbage heads from my father's vegetable patch. Since that first attempt four or five years ago, I collect visuals of unusual fruit, vegetables and flowers when I see them and return to them at times when I need to escape a current stress or require the pure enjoyment of image making.
The hyper-real representations of organic material are contrasted intentionally against flat figures, most often representations of young children or past lovers. Background colours are often chosen from small flecks within the illustration or as neutral compliments to the figures.
All drawings are sketched out first and then rendered from scratch using Photoshop and an Intuos Pro.

Public service announcement – Mother's Day is next Sunday. If your mother, grandmother, or the mother of your children (hopefully, that would be your wife) is a Cardinals fan, what better present to get her than something that reminds her of the team she loves? It lets her know you've been paying attention to her hobbies and interests, and all women love that (and I know this since I'm a wife and mother myself). I've made it easy for you – just click on the bolded and underlined words to go straight to the page of interest.
So what kinds of Cardinals items would a mother love to receive as a gift? I haven't met a woman yet who doesn't like jewelry. Jostens, the class rings and jewelry company, has designed a line of very nice jewelry to commemorate the Cardinals' eleventh World Series win. There are rings, necklaces, and pins. I personally like the Women's Championship Ring, the Eternity Pendant and the Championship Charm Bracelet. 🙂
Caveat emptor – if you're going to order a ring, make sure you know her ring size. And if you're going to order earrings, make sure her ears are pierced. If you don't know either one of these, stick with a necklace or a pin. (Note to hubby and/or adult daughter: I have pierced ears and I wear a size 8 ring. Thank you.) Mom would also probably love a Cardinals watch. She will remember you and your thoughtfulness every time she looks at her watch. You can find watches and other Cardinals jewelry here.
Does your mother love flowers? If your mother or wife lives within 45 miles of St. Louis , you can bid for a package where Fredbird, the Cardinals' mascot, delivers flowers to your mother along with 4 field box tickets to the game on Mother's Day at Busch Stadium. It's David Freese bobblehead day at the game on Mother's Day as well, so she'll get 3 gifts! Click here to bid, and don't wait long – bidding ends on May 9.
Do you know your mother's clothing sizes? There is some nice ladies' Cardinals apparel on the Cardinals' web site, including T-shirts, sweatshirts and jackets. And if your mother likes to accessorize, there are plenty of Cardinals accessories such as purses, tote bags, and sunglasses.
If you waited until the last minute (like the typical man) to purchase a present and you live in the St. Louis area, you can visit the Busch Stadium gift store or the Cardinals Clubhouse stores. They may not have the Jostens jewelry, but I'm sure the nice folks who work there can set you up with something nice. Or if your mom or wife enjoys reading, stop by your local bookstore and pick up a book about the Cardinals.
I hope I have been of assistance in shopping for your Mother's Day gifts. Remember, these gift suggestions would be great Christmas gifts as well (with the exception of the Mother's Day flower package, which wouldn't be available at Christmas time).
Thanks for reading! See you next time!

Picture was taken at a Musical Concert in honour of the 80 year old Steve Rhodes, a couple of weeks ago, at the Muson Centre. It was an event a philistine (myself) became a convert of Classical Music. I'd attended primarily because Professor Soyinka had asked to meet with me over other matters just before the concert so I'd wangled tickets from the Muson Management and thought I'd bore myself to death. I was mistaken. Performers included Ayo Bankole Jnr, Nibi Akinkugbe, The Chord Webs and many others. At the interval, Professor Wole Soyinka (in glasses), the guest of honour, stands by the legend, Steve Rhodes, as they prepare to cut a cake. To the right of the picture is Francesca Emmanuel (holding bag), an original member of The Masks, Soyinka's Drama Troupe in the early 60s.

Chapter 4 in "Eon". Chinese people don't wear green hats. Unless their spouses are being unfaithful.
Posted by Greg Bear on 05/04/2018
Interesting catch! I did not know that.
Posted by Fred Slane on 05/04/2018
On a trip to Beijing last fall I took a green felt cap. My escort/guide commented on it. "He wears a green hat" is what is said when a man's wife is cheating on him. So I put the hat away and it no longer goes to China with me.

I started with a Stratos, then a Stratos Plus, then a Stratos Extreme, then a Stratos Dual-Mono (my favorite), then the Stratos Monos and finally the Stratos Mono Extremes.
I really liked the sound that these produced. However, after a few years, I grew tired of the Odyssey "house" sound. Nothing wrong with it, all manufactures have a their own house sound, but I just needed a change.
If you really have a budget of $3500, you MUST try the Belles 350A Reference. Made in the USA and David (Belles) is a master designer. Belles is not very well known, but is a fantastic line of audio equipment. These have more power and deliver more current than the Odyssey amps.
You should be able to get a used 350A Reference V1 for under $1500. The V2, I've seen for around $2000 used, but I've owned both and have a couple of friends who moved up from the V1 to the V2 and wished they hadn't. I agree, the V1 is the better of the two versions.
Hope this helps and doesn't confuse the issue any.

All our corrugated boxes are made from the best packaging material in the market
One of the keys to our ongoing success is our continued investment in the latest machinery
Manufacturing Process
The corrugator is a series of long linked machines which transforms paper into corrugated board.
The corrugating medium, which will become the wavy middle layer in the typical three-layer corrugated board, is pre-heated and steamed so its temperature nearly reaches the boiling point of water, 212ºF. This softens the natural ingredients in the paperboard, making it easier to form into flutes.
The web, or long sheet of paper unwinding from the roll, is drawn between a pair of gear-like cylinders called corrugating rolls. This shapes the paper into a series of precise waves. Glue is applied to the tips of these flutes on one side — just the right amount, and at just the right places — and the flute tips are pressed against a fl at liner.
This creates a single-face web, a continuous sheet of fl at paper with fluted paper glued to it. To make single wall corrugated board, the exposed flutes of the single face web have glue applied to them, and they're pressed against a second flat liner.
Other parts of the corrugating line press creases into the corrugated board at precise places, so later it will fold on these creases to create a three-dimensional box.
The continuous web of corrugated board is now so stiff that it can't be rolled up. Instead, it's cut into flat sheets, just the right size for making the boxes that have been ordered. The sheets are then stacked and set aside so the glue can dry properly.
How swiftly does all this happen? Modern corrugating lines can move at more than 1,000 feet per minute—more than 11 miles per hour, or three times as fast as a comfortable walk!
How does a board become a box?
Converting machines "convert" fl at corrugated boards into boxes. The most common kinds of converting machines are flexo-folder gluers and die cutters.
Flexo-folder gluers print, crease, slot, trim, fold and glue the box so that it can be shipped fl at and then be easily formed by the customer and packed.
Die-cut machines cut the corrugated board into a pattern the customer will fold and glue into the box shape.
A rotary die cutter uses cutting edges called dies, and creasing rules, on a big roller to cut and score the corrugated board as it moves beneath it.
A flat die cutter presses knives and creasing rules against a stationary board, the same way you press a cookie cutter into cookie dough.
Whichever converting system was used, the corrugated box is now complete, and ready to carry, contain and cushion a product that might be on its way to you!

Predicted Winners in BOLD
A Great Slate of Matches
[6] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs. Jérémy Chardy (FRA) H2H – Nishikori needs to be sharp as Chardy has had a few good results over the past 4 months. If Nishikori returns well and gets to Chardy's backhand, the 6th seed will advance. If Chardy's serve and forehand dictate play, watch out for an upset.
[10] Richard Gasquet (FRA) vs. Leonardo Mayer (ARG) H2H – Gasquet won two 250 level events and reached the Wimbledon semifinal and US Open quarterfinal to post a nice 2015. He also played well in Basel last week.
[2] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. Borna Coric (CRO) H2H – Coric posted a relatively easy win over Verdasco. That was not what I expected. The good news for Coric is that I really do not expect him to defeat Andy Murray in this match.
[7] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Lukas Rosol (CZE) – I half expect Rosol to win this match, but Rafa beat him last week and played through other tough matches in Basel as well. Rafa's runner-up finishes in Basel and Beijing as well as his semifinal finish in Shanghai have given him some momentum as 2015 reaches its conclusion.
[3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. Andreas Seppi (ITA) H2H – I cannot discount what happened in Melbourne earlier this year, but I think Federer wins in a fairly routine indoor match for the 3rd seeded Swiss.
[9] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) H2H – Agut is the form horse in this match. Tsonga on an indor court in Paris is too much for me to pick against though.
[16] David Goffin (BEL) vs. [Q] Dusan Lajovic (SRB) H2H – The youthful Goffin should advance.
[12] Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) H2H – This match could go either way, but I think Cilic's serve is more reliable so I am picking him.
[13] John Isner (USA) vs. [Q] Aljaz Bedene (GBR) H2H – Isner will live and die by his serve. Since this is indoors, I think Isner lives.
[5] Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs. [Q] Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) H2H – Berdych had a good start to 2015. He seems to be putting together a nice ending to 2015. The middle portion of the year was a bit soft for the Big Czech.
[15] Feliciano Lopez (ESP) vs. Viktor Troicki (SRB) H2H – FLo is playing solid tennis.
[11] Kevin Anderson (RSA) vs. Dominic Thiem (AUT) H2H – If Thiem takes care of his own serve, I can see an upset. I had to pick one upset even if I think Anderson is a favorite on this surface.

Permit Information
Redondo Beach Unified School District's first commitment is to provide a quality education for students living within Redondo's attendance boundaries. If a student that lives outside those attendance boundaries desires to attend Redondo schools, they must adhere to the following procedure (BP/AR 5117):
- Obtain permission to be released from the district in which the student resides by visiting your home district's Student Services/Educational Services office and requesting an Inter-District Permit Release. Obtaining a permit from the school district in which you reside does not mandate acceptance by the Redondo Beach Unified School District- you must still be accepted within RBUSD to attend.
- Complete the RBUSD Inter-District Permit Application. Attach the permit release from your district of residency and a copy of the student's most current report card showing current grade level (non-Kinder applicants).
- Bring the completed RBUSD Inter-District Permit Application and the permit release and relevant attachments to Educational Services in the RBUSD District Office located at 1401 Inglewood Avenue, Redondo Beach, CA 90278 starting March 2, 2020 and no later than May 29, 2020.
- Notification of the RBUSD Inter-District Permit Lottery (to be held in June) will be sent home to all applicants via mail. All names will be drawn in the public lottery in order to create a prioritized waitlist. Should space become available between the lottery and the first 2 weeks of the school year, families will be notified in the order in which they were selected during the lottery process. If a permit is accepted, students are expected to maintain satisfactory attendance, effort, academic achievement, and behavior.
- A determination of all permit applications will be made as soon as possible, but no later than 14 calendar days after the start of the school year for which a family is applying. For requests submitted during a current school year, a final decision will be made within 30 calendar days. Letters indicating final denial decisions will be sent via regular mail and will including information regarding right to appeal to Los Angeles County Board of Education.
When it has been determined that space is available at a particular grade level and/or school site for enrollment, priority shall be established using the following guidelines:
- Priority for new Inter-District attendance permits shall be granted first to children of current permanent employees of the District. "Children" shall be limited to each permanent employee's immediate family, including step-children living with them at least 50% of the time. To enjoy this priority, applicants must submit all required paperwork for Inter-District transfers to the District Office, Educational Services Department no later than May 29, 2020. Applications received after this date will not be entitled to priority status.
- After Inter-District transfers are accepted for children of current permanent employees of the District, priority may be granted to students who have one or more siblings currently enrolled in the school district. To enjoy this priority, applicants must submit all required paperwork for Inter-District transfers to the District Office, Educational Services Department no later than May 29, 2020. Applications received after this date will not be entitled to priority status.
RBUSD Board Policy (BP) 5117
PERMIT RENEWAL: Centinela Valley UHSD
Once a student is admitted to a District school on the basis of an Inter-District Attendance Permit, he/she shall not be required to reapply for an Inter-District transfer and shall be allowed to continue to attend the school in which he/she is enrolled, unless reapplication standards are otherwise in the Inter-District attendance agreement (California Education Code 46600).
Students enrolled in Kinder through 8th grades on a Lawndale, Hawthorne, or Lennox permit must reapply for a Centinela Valley Union High School District permit release prior to their matriculation to Redondo Union High School.
It is the expectation of the Redondo Beach Unified School District that any student attending school on an Inter-District Attendance Permit maintains satisfactory attendance, satisfactory grades, and satisfactory behavior at all times.
Once a student is admitted to a District school on the basis of an Inter-District Attendance Permit, he/she shall not be required to reapply for an Inter-District transfer and shall be allowed to continue to attend the school in which he/she is enrolled, unless reapplication standards are otherwise in the Inter-District attendance agreement (California Education Code 46600).
However, an Inter-District Attendance Permit may be revoked at any time for the following reasons (California Education Code 46600 & RBUSD Administrative Regulation 5117): excessively tardy or absent from school; failure to uphold behavior standards; poor academic achievement and/or effort; false or misleading information was provided in applying for the Inter-District Attendance Permit; and other conditions that occur that would render continuance inadvisable. Terms and conditions are further outlined in writing at time of enrollment and/or acceptance of inter-district permit.
Inter-District permits are also necessary for Redondo Beach residents who are requesting to have their child attend a public school outside of the Redondo Beach Unified School District. Information regarding Inter-District permits is available in Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 5117.
Redondo Beach Unified School District is obligated to provide an education for those students who reside within its attendance boundaries.

How much should I expect to pay in real estate agent fees? Real estate agent fees typically come out of the transaction. Richard Fryer, a real estate school president with over 30 years of experience in...
Richard Fryer, a real estate school president with over 30 years of experience in the housing business, explains that commissions are usually added into the final sale price of the house. "Real estate agent fees typically come out of the transaction. Actually the buyer always pays it. It is part of the selling price, but as far as the credits and debits on the closing statement, it shows up on the seller's side but commissions have dropped significantly in the last five years. The historic commission when I first got into this business was 7%. That was customary; it has dropped down now where it's somewhere nationally about 5.1% and you're going to pay between 5% and 6% if you are a seller. Typically the agents look to the seller's side to be compensated, but that's not always true and if so it's probably in the 3% range," Fryer explains. Under the typical real estate transaction, the buyer and seller would have their own agent. In some cases a dual agent will be working with both parties exclusively. The seller would then agree to pay the commission, which is spilt between the two agents. If the buyer and seller are working with a dual agent, he or she gets to keep all of the proceeds from the commission. While it is not a hard and fast rule (price fixing is illegal in most states), the average commission for a real estate agent to be paid averages between 5 and 6 percent.
The strength of the hot market has led many homeowners to seek out alternative measures to reduce the costs of real estate commissions they have to pay. Some sellers are opting to sell their homes on their own without the assistance of an agent. This is referred to as a For Sale By Owner (or FSBO) property. If you sell your home as a FSBO, you will not have to pay commissions and all of the proceeds from the transaction are yours to keep. Another avenue that sellers are taking to sidestep paying real estate fees is to work with fee-for-service brokers instead of the traditional full service agent. A fee-for-service agent will only charge you for the services that you want, and you assume responsibility for the services that are not covered by the agent. By purchasing services "a la carte" sellers can save a considerable amount of money in commissions.
Many real estate agents are very critical of FSBO and fee-for-service arrangements, citing that many sellers aren't aware of how much work, liability and red tape is involved in selling a home, and that lack of expertise could cost them a great deal in the long run. Additionally, many sellers who are working with limited assistance often make mistakes in pricing their home, which ends up in either the house selling for less money than it was worth or the house sitting on the marker longer because it was overpriced. In order to minimize risk, most agents recommend that FSBO and fee-for-service arrangements be reserved for people who either have sold a home before or has a thorough knowledge of real estate.

Amendments to the Privacy Act on Cyber Security
Notifying customers of data breaches that could cause serious harm will now be mandatory for entities under the Privacy Act following the enactment of the Privacy Amendment (Notifiable Data Breaches) Bill 2016. The amendments come as a result of record data breaches in 2016 along with some high profile breaches of companies such as Ashley Madison (in 2015) which is reported to have leaked the names and other personal information (including credit card details) of over 30 million people.
The changes to the privacy laws on this issue have been a long time coming. This is the third time the changes have been put before parliament and come as a result of the recommendations of the Australian Law Reform Committee's report on Australian Privacy Laws from 2008.
The amendments will require organisations covered by the Privacy Act to notify customers where there has been an 'eligible data breach'. This includes where there is unauthorised access, unauthorised disclosure or loss of personal information that could reasonably cause serious harm to individuals. 'Harm' includes physical, emotional, reputational or financial harm.
Notifications of breaches are to be communicated to individuals in the usual way the organisation corresponds with the individual or if that is not practical, notices are to be published on the organisation's website. Notifications will not be required:
- where the harm as a result of the breach is not reasonably considered to be 'serious';
- if an organisation is sure that they have taken effective measures to remediate the harm arising from a data breach before it occurs; or
- where a suspected breach has occurred and following investigation the entity believes that no breach occurred (notification will be required where an investigation finds that there was a breach that could cause serious harm).
A failure to comply with the new laws once they come into effect may result in organisations facing investigation by the Privacy Commissioner, court action, compensation orders or penalties up to $1.8 million.
The legislation provides for a grace period of 12 months before the changes will come into effect, to give those entities affected, time to implement policies and procedures dealing with the changes.
If you have any questions about the changes or would like assistance in reviewing policies and procedures please contact our team today.

Oxidative stress not only comes from internal imbalances but from external influences. We wanted to stabilise and protect against free radicals, assist detoxification; resulting in a healthier skin.
Increased stress levels require increased supplements including B vitamins, Resveratrol, EFAS, Magnesium and Calcium. Supplements that busy women can struggle to get in their day to day diet due to poor food choices like highly processed, fatty or refined foods. Leading to increased toxic load in our internal environment, congesting the bowel and limiting the absorption of key nutrients and minerals.
As our lives get busier, time for good food preparation is not always our priority.
Women need greater amounts of certain nutrients than men, particularly Iron and Calcium.
The ability to prevent future illness was proven to be governed by the effective protection of the cell wall and the health within the landscape of the cell. All of which involves what we put into our body through diet and nutrition. After Pamella attended the International Congress of Natural Medicine, the protective benefits of key antioxidants and nutrients were headlined at the congress in the prevention of cancer and possible resistance to genomic changes within the cell.
Our research confirmed nutrients with the key constituents in the diet like Tumeric, Selenium, Co Enzyme Q10 and Resveratrol were among the most effective for immunity and cellular stability.

The Kate Greenaway prize celebrates the best-illustrated children's and Young Adult books from the past year.
The shortlist
Night Shift, by Debi Gliori
"With mainly black and white illustration and deceptively simple text, author and illustrator Debi Gliori examines how depression affects one's whole outlook upon life, and shows that there can be an escape - it may not be easy to find, but it is there."
A First Book of Animals, illustrated by Petr Horáček, written by Nicola Davies
"A treasury of poems about the animal world. Polar bears playing on the ice, tigers hunting in the jungle, fireflies twinkling in the evening sky and nightingales singing in the heart of the woods - there are animals everywhere."
Thornhill, by Pam Smy
"As she unpacks in her new bedroom, Ella is irresistibly drawn to the big old house that she can see out of her window. Surrounded by overgrown gardens, barbed wire fences and 'keep out' signs. It looks derelict. But that night a light goes on in one of the windows. And the next day she sees a girl in the grounds.
"Ella is hooked, the house has a story to tell, she is sure of it. Enter Thornhill, Institute for Children, and discover the dark secrets that lie within. But once inside, will you ever leave?"
Under the Same Sky, by Britta Teckentrup

"And yet, there's something nice about Nick's house. There's strange music playing there, and it feels light and good and makes Frank feel happy for the first time in forever. But there's more to Nick, and to his house, than meets the eye, and soon Frank realises she isn't the only one keeping secrets. Or the only one who needs help."
King of the Sky, illustrated by Laura Carlin, written by Nicola Davies

The Liszts, illustrated by Julia Sarda, written by Kyo Maclear

Will the Liszts be able to make room on their lists for this new visitor? What will they do when something unexpected happens?"
The Pavee and the Buffer Girl, illustrated by Emma Shoard, written by Siobhan Dowd
"Jim and his family have halted by Dundray and the education people have been round mouthing the law. In school the Traveller kids suffer at the hands of teachers and other pupils alike, called 'tinker-stinkers', 'dirty gyps' and worse. Then the punches start. The only friendly face is Kit, a settle girl who takes Jim under her wing and teaches him to read in the great cathedral chamber in the cave below the town."
Penguin Problems, illustrated by Lane Smith, written by Jory John
"Have you ever considered running away to Antarctica? Of course you have! Because it's a land free of worries and responsibilities! Think again, my friend. This penguin has come to tell you that his life down there is no picnic. For starters, it is freezing. Also, penguins have loads of natural predators. Plus, can you imagine trying to find your mum in a big crowd of identical penguins?"
Lots: the diversity of life on Earth, illustrated by Emily Sutton, written by Nicola Davies
"There are living things everywhere: the more we look, the more we find. There are creatures on the tops of the tallest jungle trees, at the bottom of the coldest oceans, even under the feathers of birds and in boiling volcanic pools. So how many different kinds are there? One, two, three - lots!"
Storm Whale, illustrated by Jane Tanner, written by Sarah Brennan
"'Bleak was the day and the wind whipped down, when I and my sisters walked to town…'
"So begins the story of three sisters and their wild and magical encounter with a whale, stranded on a beach. With illustrations full of light and movement, a powerful text that reads like a ballad, children and adults alike will be transported to beachside holidays of long ago, feel the wind in their hair and taste the salt spray, as the girls battle against huge odds to save something precious and vulnerable."
The Secret of Black Rock, by Joe Todd-Stanton
"Erin loves to lie on the jetty, looking for the weirdest fish in the sea - the weirder, the better! And she knows the best ones must be further out, where her mum won't let her go. Out there in the deepest sea lies the Black Rock: a huge, dark and spiky mass that is said to destroy any boats that come near it! Can Erin uncover the truth behind this mysterious legend?"

Fear not the man who bears the sword
Or he who comes from space,
For the one to fear is watching you
From her secret hiding place.
This hostile foe awaits her chance.
She knows your every move.
With cunning stealth, she'll dive and strike,
And blood she will remove.
Her tiger stripes mean trouble
And it's blood on which she feeds.
It helps produce her eggs you see,
So she knows what she needs.
She quietly does her wicked deeds
Whilst you are unaware.
Be always on your guard therefore.
Protect yourself with care.
Spray repellent on your clothing
And spray it on your skin.
Don't leave your water sitting out
In jugs or bowls or tins.
Please don't forget your animals.
Their blood is tasty too.
Mosquitoes - creatures hated most -
Have got their eyes on YOU.

PAYGO is a budget enforcement mechanism intended to prevent passage of legislation that increases deficits.
Heading into 2020, the vast majority of Americans are urging leaders in Washington to address the unsustainable national debt and budget deficit.
Powell noted that the current economic expansion is the longest on record and emphasized the need to consider the long-term implications of fiscal policy.
Today, President Trump released his fourth budget, which outlines the administration's policy proposals, budget projections, and economic forecast for the next decade.
Although a range of views exists about optimal near-term fiscal policy, economists agree that America's mounting debt presents significant challenges for our budget and the economy, particularly over the long term.
Growth in 2019 was lower than the 2.9 percent growth in 2018. Key factors contributing to this drop include a significant slowing in the growth of nonresidential investment and, to a slightly lesser degree, slower growth in the consumption of goods and services.
As voting begins for the 2020 election season, the majority of Americans believe that addressing the national debt is a crucial issue that warrants action from policymakers.
As one decade ends and another begins, there's no question that our fiscal outlook is daunting. But as we mark this milestone, it's also helpful to take a closer look at projections from 10 years ago to assess how decisions by lawmakers and other factors have contributed to our fiscal outlook.
A continuing resolution is a temporary funding measure that Congress can use to fund the federal government for a limited amount of time.
Over the past decade, the United States has added trillions of dollars to its national debt. Much of that growth in debt occurred as a result of the Great Recession and the fiscal policy response to it.

By Laszlo Madaras, MD, MPH
As many of us in health centers and hospitals around the country can attest, we are in the midst of the flu season. Seasonal flu activity typically occurs between October and May, although flu viruses are around all year. Usually, the flu season peaks between December and February.
This year so far, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have already tallied between 6.2 million to 7.3 million flu illnesses, 2.9 and 3.5 million medical visits, and 69,300 and 83,500 hospitalizations. Almost 43,000 people have died so far in the 2018/2019 flu season of influenza or pneumonia. In recent weeks, the percentage of deaths in the nation attributed to influenza and pneumonia has spiked to above seven percent of all deaths. The CDC said it's not possible to say definitively at this time how severe the 2018-2019 season will be, since there are still weeks of flu activity to come. At this time in late January, however, severity indicators are lower than they were during a similar time frame last season.
As a physician working every winter in a hospital setting, I get the fluvax every year not only to protect myself and my family, but also to protect my patients. If you haven't gotten the vaccine yet, there's still time. The sooner you get vaccinated, the better because it takes a couple of weeks to become fully effective.You are still vulnerable to "get the flu" if you are unlucky enough to get infected before the vaccine has time to take full effect. Even though we're well into this flu season, it's not too late to get vaccinated. The vaccine (fluvax) doesn't guarantee immunity (usually 60% effective in a good year and about 30% in a year in which the type of influenza and the type of vaccine mismatch), but it can reduce symptom severity if you do get sick.
Viruses included in the 2018–2019 trivalent influenza vaccines are an A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1) pdm09-like virus, an A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016 (H3N2)-like virus, and a B/Colorado/06/2017-like virus (Victoria lineage). Quadrivalent vaccines contain an additional virus: a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus (Yamagata lineage). Both the trivalent and quadrivalent vaccines contain different A (H3N2) and B (Victoria) strains compared with the 2017–2018 influenza vaccines.
One interesting factor has appeared since many emergency rooms have begun using a new nasal swab combination that not only screens for Influenza A and Influenza B, but also for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in adult patients sick enough to visit the ER. For many years the pediatric population has been screened for RSV, which hits hard generally around the same time as does the influenza virus. Now that adults are also "incidentally" being screened for RSV while getting influenza screenings, a lot more adult RSV cases have come to light. We may have to change our thinking about RSV being predominantly a pediatric infection and consider adults as equally susceptible.
I guess that in past years when some vaccinated adults complained that they "got the flu" despite getting the fluvax, they may have come down with RSV or yet another winter virus that is NOT influenza virus. The problem is that during the flu season, there are also many other winter viruses for which the fluvax does not provide protection, so people mistakenly feel they got the flu from the flu vaccine.
While influenza may not be as headline-worthy of more terrifying and less common infectious illnesses, these complications encourage us as clinicians to be clear about the need for the flu vaccine. Yes, there are other illnesses that can cause flu-like symptoms; yes, the flu shot is not 100% effective. But, yes, there is still very good reason to get the flu shot. Especially among our patients with diabetes and with elderly patients, prevention can go a long way to assure health in the depths of winter.
