Eruptions from seafloor volcanoes and cycles of global glaciations may seem unrelated, but new research suggests otherwise, indicating that pulses of volcanism at mid-ocean ridges might have influenced glacial and interglacial periods during the latter half of the Pleistocene.
In the winter of 1997 and 1998, a powerful El Niño pattern in the Pacific Ocean caused billions of dollars in damage from flooding and extreme weather worldwide. Now, a new animation of the event is highlighting the complex feedbacks that conspired to create such a devastating climate cycle.
In 2006, a large eruption occurred on the seafloor about 1,000 kilometers off the coast of Mexico. Geochemical dating of the erupted lava suggested the event went on for up to 10 months. Now, researchers taking a closer look at seismic and audio recordings made during the event have found that the eruption likely occurred over a much shorter period — a matter of days instead of months. The findings shed light on the sequence of events leading up to the event, as well as on the mechanisms of such seafloor eruptions.
During the few short months of Arctic summer, plants and animals race to grow and reproduce, fueling the most active time in the Arctic carbon cycle. But in a new study, researchers examining one corner of the Arctic demonstrate that ecosystems in the icy north aren't entirely shut down during the offseason, with pulses of carbon dioxide and methane released some years starting during the first spring thaw.
Large earthquakes alter the planet's gravitational field by displacing big portions of the crust. In a new study looking at earthquake-induced gravity signals produced by Japan's magnitude-9 Tohoku quake in 2011, researchers conclude that such signals may prove useful in earthquake early warning systems.
When kids lose their milk teeth, the roots shrivel up and just the outer enamel falls out — a process known as basal resorption. Now, the discovery of a tiny jawbone from a 424-million-year-old fossil fish is shedding light on the origin of our modern mode of tooth replacement.
Even with modern airplanes and ships, the far-flung islands of Tonga, Samoa, Hawaii, Micronesia and Fiji are difficult to reach. Thousands of years ago, the seafarers who first settled the islands had a much more arduous journey, sailing thousands of kilometers and navigating by the stars. According to a new study, these intrepid travelers may have gotten a boost from weather associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns, which sweep through the Pacific every three to seven years.
Dinosaurs were so dominant through much of the Mesozoic that it's easy to forget that wasn't always the case. The discovery of a specimen of an early small dinosaur alongside a lagerpetid — a precursor to the dinosaurs — is giving scientists a glimpse into the slow-paced early stages of dinosaur evolution.
A new study in Nature suggests that ants may have invented agriculture as much as 3 million years before humans.
About 66 million years ago, a dinosaur lay down on a muddy riverbank in what is now Spain, leaving behind the impression of its scaly skin. A team studying sandstone formations near the village of Vallcebre in the Pyrenees recently uncovered the unique artifact, made even more extraordinary by the timing of when it was left: right before the end-Cretaceous extinction that wiped out the nonavian dinosaurs.

Fire anal tails, is made of natural fur and reinforced with a nylon cord inside, which provides durability and preserves tail flexibility.

What is content marketing?
"Marketing is telling the world you're a rock star, content marketing is showing them you're a rock star" – Robert Rose
- Are you confused by content marketing?
- Do you think it's just another marketing tactic?
- Would you like to find out more about how you and your business can benefit from understanding content marketing?
We get asked this perfectly valid question A LOT – "What is content marketing?". We are very aware that there are many business people out there that have never heard of content marketing, and if they have, they don't really understand what it is, or what it means for their business.
What if you could get your audience to spend more time with your marketing? What if you could get your audience to look forward to receiving your marketing? This is what content marketing can do for you and your business, and it will change everything.
I have prepared for you four key definitions of what content marketing is, along with some related articles, videos and podcasts, to help you get to grips with what content marketing is and how you and your business can benefit from embracing a content marketing philosophy.
What is content marketing?
Before you move on, first watch this:
Definition one – Joe Pulizzi
"Content marketing is the marketing and business process for creating and distributing valuable and compelling content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action."
What does this really mean?
- Valuable and compelling content – content that your audience are actually interested in and will enjoy spending their time reading, watching, listening, etc
- Attract, acquire and engage – content that speaks directly to your audience and pulls them closer to your business/organisation
- Profitable customer action – content that encourages desire to purchase your products or services
(Source: Page 5 – Epic Content Marketing)
Definition two – Joe Pulizzi
"The art of communicating with your customers and prospects without selling. It is non interruption marketing. Instead of pitching your products or services, you are delivering information that makes your buyers more intelligent or perhaps entertaining them to build an emotional connection."
What does this really mean?
- Communicating with your customers without selling – I personally love this! You can deliver information to your audience that's helpful and useful that does not directly sell your products or services
- Non interruption marketing – It's content that your audience want to spend time with – they may have even asked for it by subscribing to your email list
- Entertaining – Content that your audience enjoy and get value from. After reading, watching or listening they don't feel like they've just wasted their time
- Emotional connection – Assuming your content ticks all the boxes above, you will start to build a relationship and an affinity with your audience
(Source: Page 6 – Epic Content Marketing)
Definition three – Marcus Sheridan
"Do you see yourself as a teacher, truly as a teacher, in other words, do you embrace the idea that your prospects and customers have questions, and that you really want to answer them?"- Marcus Sheridan
In this short and highly recommended video Marcus Sheridan hits it home with a clear, concise and grounded explanation of what content marketing is and what content marketing really means for small businesses.
- Can you listen better than anyone else in your industry or niche?
- Can you hear their questions, the way that they're saying them, your customer or prospects?
- Can you empathise with them?
- Can you really, truly understand what they're feeling?
- Can you communicate in a way that they get you? That they understand you? That they say "that person is just like me, he understands my problems and he speaks on my level, not on his level, but on my level"?
What does this really mean?
In essence, what Marcus is asking you to do is to change the way you communicate with your audience. How can you be the teacher or advisor, instead of directly selling your products and services? How can you be the business or organisation in your industry that is completely transparent and truly helpful?

Definition four – Ann Handley
"The beauty of content marketing, and I think the ability for us all to be publishers, means that we can speak directly to the people we want to reach, and we need to talk to them in a more human, accessible way, and we need to tell them why what we do or sell matters to them, so really turning that corporate-centric communication to a customer-centric communication."
What does this really mean?
- The ability for us all to be publishers – If you have a computer and access to the Internet there really are no barriers to becoming a publisher
- Speak directly to the people we want to reach – With access to the Internet and various platforms you can deliver a message directly to your specific audience
- Why what we do or sell matters to them – Again this is about changing how you communicate; put yourself in your customers shoes and think about how what you do will benefit and add value to them and their lives
- Customer-centric communication – Stop using corporate language and 'Frankenspeak'. Instead communicate with words that your audience will find easy to understand.

The word "dictionarius", meaning , "a collection of words", was first used in the English language around 1225. In the seventeenth century, the name,"dictionary" was gradually given to works explaining English words in English. The first general and comprehensive dictionary of the English language was the "Universal Etymological English Dictionary" by Nathan Bailey, published in 1721, which gave pronunciation and authority for pronounciation, but only very brief definitions.
"Ambrogio Calepino's 1502 dictionary was the bestselling reference work of the early modern era, having appeared in more than 200 editions by 1800, as editors and publishers expanded its Latin entries to transform it into the ultimate polyglot experience, a key for all languages rather than just one... Calepino has the distinction of being the only author of a reference work to have his name become a noun. ("Calepin" is by now an obsolete word for a dictionary)" (Findlen, 36).
Samuel Johnson's "Dictionary of the English Language", which appeared in 1755 was designed to list all "good" words in the language with their "proper" meanings. "Johnson... once declared, with characteristic wit, that the making of dictionaries was "dull work." He nonetheless produced a dictionary of great verve that others rightfully regarded as a work of literature produced from the reading of literature" (Findlen, 36-37).
The English dictionary today is a collection of words in which each word is treated as to pronunciation, derivation, usage, meaning and syllabication. In addition, the dictionary may also give synonyms, antonyms, illustrative quotations, maps and plates, biographical facts, and geographical and historical information.
Because most dictionaries are arranged alphabetically for convenience of reference, the word "dictionary" has come to mean any alphabetical arrangement of words or topics. (Zenodotos, the first librarian at Alexandria [circa 280 BC], first introduced the common use of alphabetization in the organization of books and of materials within books. He only alphabetized by the first letter(Greenblatt, 88).)
There are dictionaries of psychology, education, philosophy, music, mathematics and many other subjects, as well as dictionaries of dates, events, battles, plants and sports. The primary purpose of a dictionary is to answer questions about words. The user must learn the kinds of dictionaries and the characteristics of each kind, in order to decide which one or ones will answer a given question in the best way.
In judging the usefulness of a dictionary, consider these points:
1. What part of the language does the dictionary include? Slang, dialect, obsolete and technical words, as well as standard words?
2. What period of the language does it cover?
3. Is usage indicated?
4. Are plurals, verb tenses and participles spelled?
5. Is syllabication indicated?
6. In what way is pronunciation shown? If diacritical marks are used, are they explained?
7. Are the definitions clear?
8. Are the definitions given in order of historical or current usage?
9. Is the etymology of the word given? (What does etymology mean?)
10. Is illustrative material--quotations, maps, pictures, charts--used? If so, is it adequate and appropriate?
11. Does it give synonyms and antonyms, and are they explained?
12. Are abbreviations and symbols explained?
13. Is encyclopedic information--such as geographical, biographical and historical facts, included?
14. Is the dictionary easy to use?
15. How does it compare with other dictionaries on each of these points?
Dictionaries can be dividied into (1) general word dictionaries, which provide overall information such as pronunciation, derivation, syllabication and meaning, (2)dictionaries which have to do with certain aspects of language, such as etymology, synonyms, antonyms, slang, colloquialisms, dialect and usage, and (3) dictionaries which are concerned with a specific subject area.
General word dictionaries are either unabridged, that is, complete, covering all the words of a language, abridged, that is, reduced in content but retaining the features of the unabridged work or general-purpose desk dictionaries, which include only a selection of the words of a language. They include both English-language and foreign-language dictionaries.
Be sure to look up any words in this discussion which you do not already know.
In the Discussions, Name 4 good unabridged dictionaries, 4 good abridged dictionaries and 4 good desk dictionaries. Give some reasons why you think they are good dictionaries.
In the Discussions area, Answer the following 7 questions:
1. What is the basic purpose of a dictionary?
2. List the kinds of information about words a dictionary should provide.
3. What other kinds of information do some dictionaries give?
4. Explain unabridged and abridged dictionaries.
5. Compare two dictionaries on the basis of the ways in which they provide the information you listed as an answer to question 2.
6. Look up a given word in The Oxford English Dictionary (OED). When did it enter the English language? How many definitions are given? How many illustrative quotations are given? How many synonyms and/or antonyms are given? Use this word in a sentence. (Don't try this online; they are charging now. If you don't have a library handy, skip this question.)

Encyclopedias are an excellent place to begin research. They offer:
Some examples of general encyclopedias are:
A "special encyclopedia" provides more detailed information in its subject area than a general encyclopedia. Although some subject encyclopedias are called, "dictionaries", they contain far more information than the short, concise, factual entries usually found in dictionaries. A few subject encyclopedias are listed below:
"When I was in high school and needed to look up something I didn't know, I went to the public library and dared to forage among the pages of the most authoritative reference work available: the Encyclopedia Britannica. I can't remember which edition it was, but I opened it with the unshaken certainty that experts had distilled vast quantities of useful knowledge for my edification... just the right amount of almost everything, or something about something" (Findlen, 34)... the seemingly exhaustive reference work it would become by the early twentieth century... the contemporary edition we know today--thirty-two volumes filled with approximately 40 million words on almost half a million subjects" (Findlen, 35).
Where did the mania for print compendiums begin? The original "British Encyclopedia" was the brainchild of two ambitious Edinburgh publishers, Colin Macfarquhar and Andrew Bell, who employed a printer and aspiring naturalist turned writer, William Smellie, to compose--or as Smellie later reported, compile "with a pair of scissors"--the entries for the first edition of 1768-71. Their goal was to create an indelibly Scottish product to compete with that most learned and controversial manifesto of the French Enlightenment, Denis Diderot and Jean d'Alembert's twenty-eight-volume Encyclopédie (1751-72). Macfarquhar and Bell's hastily assembled three-volume set was no hardy tree of knowledge but a mere sapling whose fruit was blemished by the errors "mental, typographical, or accidental," that were the bane of all encyclopedias and their makers" (Findlen, 35).
"...the contemporary misperception, born of narcissism and ignorance, that the "information age"--a term dating to 1962--is a new phenomenon. Humans have been accumulating knowledge and finding ways to condense, sort and store it ever since it was understood that knowledge could exceed the limits of memory and oral transmission" (Findlen, 35).
"Consider the ancient bibliographer Callimachus, whose Pinakes contained a summary of the fabled contents of the ancient Library of Alexandria. He merits special recognition as editor in chief of the Hellenistic world's Encyclopedia Britannica, just as the Roman encyclopedist Pliny the Elder deserves praise for creating a compendium of Roman knowledge filled, so he boasted, with information about 20,000 things worth knowing and outfitted with a rudimentary table of contents to assist readers in finding those facts of greatest interest. By the tenth century enterprising scholars in Byzantium, the Islamic world and China were furiously trying to compile and summarize everything their respective civilizations produced. Entries multiplied rapidly, and bibliographies ballooned to immodest proportions as diligent compilers such as the Baghdad bookseller Ibn al-Nadim did their best to insert in their compendiums a reference to anyone who had ever written something worth remembering" (Findlen, 35-6).
"In the tenth century an encyclopedia of Chinese learning and wisdom contained a thousand chapters. By the fifteenth century the comprehensive encyclopedia created for the Ming emperor by 2,000 court officials had grown to almost 23,000 chapters. Not to be outdone, the Manchu emperor commissioned an even more definitive encyclopedia of Chinese knowledge, the Siku Quanshu, which was compiled between 1773 and 1782. Its sheer bulk puts to rest any Western fantasies of superior information management. Around 3,800 scribes employed thir calligrapher's brushes to create seven copies of the 79,000-chapter tome of tomes. Containing 800 million words, it was far larger than the modern Encyclopedia Britannica and OED [Oxford English Dictionary] combined, making it the definition of a truly unreadable book.One of the few reference works to surpass it in terms of volume is Wikipedia, which now contains around 2 billion words" (Findlen, 36).
"Among the most ambitious Renaissance encyclopedias was Theodor Zwinger's vast and vastly erudite Theater of Human Life, published in 1565, which amassed a level of comprehensive knowledge that astounded even Zwinger's contemporaries, who watched the book expand to 4,500 pages as the Basel physician digested everything he encountered in print. Like other Renaissance encyclopedias, Zwinger's contained multiple indexes to facilitate looking up every discrete parcel of knowledge through an elaborate sequence of headings and subheadings that outlined, as if in bullet points, the structure of knowledge while also dissecting it thematically. Little wonder that by the eighteenth century Jonathan Swift would poke fun at contemporaries who displayed a veneer of erudition acquired through "index learning"" (Findlen, 36).
"... knowledge had become a business by the end of the Renaissance. There were many people poised to offer the surest and most efficient path to success--with a book in hand" (Findlen, 37).
Answer the following questions in the Discussions area, using an encyclopedia to find the answers:
1. What two bodies of water are linked by the New York State Barge Canal?
2. What are the names of the provinces in the Netherlands?
3. Can you find a list of dates important to the westward movement in the United States?
4. Who were the Industrial Workers of the World?
5. Where and when did checkers begin?
6. You are interested in becoming a lawyer. Find some information about what lawyers do and what training they need.
7. What was Babe Ruth's real name?
8. What is the state flower of Mississippi?
9. When was the Battle of Chippewa fought?
10. When did Eli Whitney invent the cotton gin?
11. Where is James Polk buried?

Why you should be sipping our carefully curated selection of teas all year long...
Image credit: Bashira Muhammad / Zoom Out Mycology
The fungus kingdom contains a wealth of diversity that humans have tapped into for thousands of years. The fruiting reproductive bodies of mycelium, i.e. mushrooms, serve many functions - as ingredients in our favorite dishes, as psychoactive substances, delicious tea, and medicine. However, the medicinal benefits of mushrooms are not exclusive to refined compounds found in pills and creams; you can improve your health by incorporating the right mushrooms into your diet. Whether or not you're someone who brews a cuppa every chance you get (like yours truly), it could be time to make a routine of savoring these flavorful brews. Here at Zoom Out Mycology, we have four varieties of loose leaf teas that bring mushrooms into the mix, or nix tea leaves altogether. The result is earthy blends for every season with health incentives well worth the walk on the wild side.
Zoom Out has harnessed the power of three hearty mushrooms for our fungi fans. As Western research catches up to traditional Eastern medicine, more studies are backing beliefs about immunostimulation, antioxidant, anti aging and even anticancer properties (Researchgate). The potential health benefits of our teas are summarized in the table below. Read on to delve further into our blends and mycological heros, reishi, lion's mane, and maitake, to explore the magic within!

Many people use ASIN lists for their sites, instead of the default Amazon categories; this allows for a true 'niche' store, with a handpicked selection of items. The Amazon Stock Information Numbers (which often contain letters too) can be pasted directly into the category keyword box, or contained in a text file, with the URL to the file in the keyword box. There are drawbacks to this method however, such as having to comb Amazon to pluck ASINs one-by-one, and having to update the lists as new products are introduced and old ones discontinued. But in some instances, ASIN lists are the avenue of choice to provide selections for customers.
Another potential area of difficulty is in having content for Blended modes used with the site search and the Home Page display. These functions depend directly on the category node to draw results – they cannot read the ASIN lists themselves, either in the keyword box or the ASIN file (as a side note, this is why boxes like Bestsellers or Most Gifted, etc. ignore category keywords; they are also linked directly to the category node, bypassing the keyword box. They can't read ASIN lists either, and do not appear in ASIN categories).
However, it is possible to give AOM a way to feed these areas, by using what are known as 'hidden' categories. These are categories that are contained in your Associate-O-Matic store, but are not accessable to customers directly. Their sole purpose is to allow merchandise to be available for blended modes.
To create a hidden category, simply set up a 'normal' node-driven category in your control panel under the Categories tab. If your store uses ASIN lists for automotive parts for example, create an automotive category with the default node (in this example 15690151). However, you must uncheck the T, M, S and B boxes.
This will prevent the category from appearing in the Tabs, Drop-down search menu and category box. The S box controls subcategories, and is not required to be unchecked; but for the sake of thoroughness, we'll do so. You'll also need to set up a Site Default Keyword under the Site tab as well, so no keyword is required in your hidden category. The SDK can help keep results focused on your site niche.
Now a blended search ("All Products") and the Blended Home Page will return results. But only from one category, automotive. You can set up more hidden categories if you would like more results to appear.
In other news, this is the first post made since setting up the new site. All the old posts and comments, plus some of the other information, has been transferred here. The other site will eventually be shut down. In the short time this blog has been online at the other site, it's become a tool to assist AOM users by trying to add to the information already available on the main Associate-O-Matic site. A new home was needed in order to use this 'magazine-style' format, which allows an easier way to search for posts that may touch on a particular feature or topic. I think it's a better layout, and hopefully everyone will agree.
The YouTube video currently featured is the best of the two or three available at this time. Unfortunately it appears to be in Portugese. If anyone out there can make a better one that provides clear explanations of the basice setup functions, please use the contact link at the top of this page to let me know about it. If I find one I like, I may replace the current clip. So let's get those cameras rolling!

Gerald Dawavendewa (Hopi & Cherokee)
Across the desert mesas, the Hopi people call home, the night sky is filled with the elements of the cosmos. A young woman wearing a traditional manta dress with corn designs reaches outward from earth to hold a star within the cosmos. She wears her hair in a style representing butterfly wings, insects who gather pollen and help give life to flowers. Her belt symbolizes rain as it falls upon a disk with colors representing the four directions and a symbol of the earth. A blue corn plant rises upward next to her, reaching to multi-colored rain clouds that gather along with the corn plant as dragonflies flutter below. On her left, an ancient village merges with the land carved with journey spiral symbols. As she reaches upward, a lighting bird crosses the star-filled sky with a comet and moon circling the planet.

Cargo Operations Ongoing, Terminal Operators Adjust Schedules Due To Winter Weather
Freezing temperatures and a wintry mix of precipitation forced adjustments to operations schedules at the Port of New Orleans today and tomorrow (Jan. 29).
While ship cargo operations were ongoing today at Port terminals, all gatehouse operations for truck transport were suspended due to bridge and interstate closures in south Louisiana. All non-essential employees will also be asked not to report to work again Wednesday, Jan. 29, due to hazardous conditions on area roadways.
Port operations crews continue to work alongside terminal operators and Longshoremen to keep cargo ship operations on schedule. Both break-bulk and container ships are scheduled to work tomorrow.
"As always we are erring on the side of safety in an attempt not to compromise the movement of cargo and commerce through the Port," said Port President and CEO Gary LaGrange.
Port employees are asked to monitor the employee hotline for updated information on work schedules at (504) 528-3388 or (866) 476-7866.

Are we easy to work with? This is a question I posed to our company and myself this week.
I have worked in large organizations and also spent my more recent time as an entrepreneur. Through the years, I've created and built partnerships that have resulted in commendable growth for the company I worked for or the company I was building.
Through these experiences I have learned firsthand what to look for when considering forming a partnership with a vendor. I've developed a checklist that helps me decide whether to enter into a professional relationship with another company. It's also helped me focus on how Falcon Containers can achieve success when organizations are considering a partnership with us.

Contractors in England had been warned about it by the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee as early as October 2018, but there was little they could do to prepare for what the negotiator described as a "cashflow dip" in January.
A 3p reduction in the single activity fee – from £1.29 to £1.26 – was introduced in November, along with a category M clawback of £10 million a month until March 2019. But this double impact was not noticeable until the balancing payment for November was paid in the January end-of-month payment.
C+D spoke to three sector representatives* to find out how their businesses coped with the extra financial pressure, and whether there are any glimmers of hope on the horizon.
*The following conversations took place on March 7, the day before PSNC announced that interim funding for the sector would remain at its reduced level.
Hemant Patel, secretary of north-east London local pharmaceutical committee
"January was difficult for most of our pharmacies in the area, which struggled with the payments. Just an hour ago a pharmacist rang and asked me: 'What are we going to do [when] community pharmacy finds itself in urgent care?'
"They're struggling, demoralised and having to a lot more work for the same dispensing fee. Trying to source medicines is a real headache and there is no extra fee [for that].
"At a local level, we are trying to make a difference by working with the sustainability and transformation partnership. While it's a little premature to say, green shoots of recovery are being seen. Certainly the ground is being prepared.
"Apart from helping morale, it should also open up opportunities for workforce development and for better local income. We don't believe there's going to be much improvement in dispensing fees, but we do believe locally we have a fair chance of being part of the new healthcare system."
Salim Jetha, chief executive of independent pharmacy group Avicenna, and owner of Lewis Grove Pharmacy in Lewisham, south-east London
"People have seen a gradual reduction in their cashflow – peaking in January – and continuation of this trend. Morale is deteriorating fast, especially after a continuing run of various regulatory deadlines, spending time sourcing drugs, which is reimbursed below cost price with no legal right [for us] to refuse to dispense.
"Some have injected extra capital into their business. Some services, such as monitored dosage systems, deliveries and poorly funded local contracts, could come under threat."
A contractor in the south of England, who wishes to remain anonymous
"We've recently sacked people. The advance we got for January was appalling, so we struggled to pay our suppliers, but that's nothing new.
"All the money in the business is put in by me. You work more hours, you do more paperwork. I don't contribute to a pension anymore.
"We're not charging for deliveries – that would decimate our business – and we're definitely not reducing our services. It's been relentless and we're going into the third year of this now. We're doing high volumes and being hammered – there's no other way to describe it.
"We've got a new pilot service where we're doing GP referrals to pharmacies. So we're busier with actual face-to-face interactions, as well as busier with prescriptions.
"What I'm hoping is that the new contract will help us deliver a service that I'm really proud to offer. What money there'll be in it, I really don't know."

We are most excited to announce that we have a new web site design coming soon – all thanks to our good friend Sam, from Evans Taylor Design.
It was our 7th birthday on the 6th September 2019 and in celebration it was our desire is raise NZ$7,070 to enable a VIP toilet block to be constructed at Rwenjaza Hillside School. Presently a three classroom block, thanks to FOP UK, is under construction but with additional classrooms comes the need for additional toilets.
We have great delight in announcing that this 'very important' need has been fully funded. Thank you to those who contributed – we so appreciate your support.
A VIP toilet is not just a toilet for Very Important People (despite all our school children being very important). It is a Ventilated Improved Pit toilet and this brick building will be made up of:
A huge shout out of thanks to St Marks School in Christchurch for raising $1,896.50 towards our school feeding programme in Uganda. This is an amazing effort.
The children who attend our FOP school in Uganda have no other option than to walk up to 10kms to school; often on an empty tummy. Thankfully we are able to provide all the children at school a daily porridge meal.
It was with this in mind that on Friday 28th June a large number of pupils, parents, grandparents and teachers from St. Marks School chose to walk to school to raise funds towards this feeding programme.
It was a 5.45am start, on a very frosty Christchurch morning, for those pupils who started at the 10km mark.
Thank you to all who took part in the walk or supported those who did – we appreciate you.
There is still the opportunity to support this fundraising effort. Click here to make a secure credit card payment and for a reference use 'St. Marks'.
Photos: Just some of those who participated in the 'Walk for a Purpose.'
Our recent FOP NZ team to Uganda, working alongside a local engineer and volunteers from the community, helped repair a spring well that serves over 300 people.
It is envisaged that these repairs will stop a lot of people, especially children, from contracting water borne diseases.

About the Ancient Jewish Quarter in PragueToday the quarter is nicknamed Josefov, but some will always call it the Jewish Quarter of Prague. The Old Jewish Quarter of the city is one of the most toured areas in the city, the most ancient part of Prague. There are old and ancient buildings filled with history, including the Jewish Museum, the old Jewish Cemetery and a number of synagogues.
Though Jews were settling in the city from the 10th century, the Jewish Quarter in Prague exists from the 12th century. In the past Jews were allowed to only live within the Quarter limits, which received the name "The Jewish Ghetto."
More than any other city in Europe, the Jews of Prague received a high status in the financial and cultural life of the city, and made strong ties with the rulers. Here too in the Czech Republic, there were difficult stories of blood libels, accusations of arson, fires, poisoning of wells, and persecution of Jews for any reason.
The location of the Jewish Quarter is between the Old City Square to the Vlatava River Banks. The name of the Jewish Quarter, Josefov, was given after the ruler of the Joseph II, who set a reform that greatly elevated the living status of the Jews in Prague.
Jewish Quarter ConstructionsThe ghetto is a merger of two Jewish centers in the city - the first is the center of the "Ashkenazi" Jews, which centered around the Old New Synagogue (Altneuschul), the famous Maharal Synagogue, and the Sephardim, which were located around the Spanish Synagogue.
In the past, the Jewish Ghetto was one of the poorer parts of the city. It was repeatedly hit by floods from the river, a story that was resolved only in the early 20th century, when the batteries were lifted to prevent flooding from the river. Until then, the ghetto was one of the less well-tended neighborhoods in Prague.
Try not to look here only at graves on the ground. Look up and see the special buildings of the Quarter. Here is the world's largest concentration of buildings decorated with Art-Nouveau decorations. There are also representatives of Art-Deco and cubist architecture, two other interesting styles, which were also in fashion in the first half of the last century.

Deity Project
This article is within the scope of the Deity Project. This project is dedicated to creating new deities and improving existing deity articles. If you want to participate, please check the project page.
|Vital Statistics

|The Universe, Time, Sator, Dragons
| He is the dark, He is the light,
He is the King thou shalt not spite.
Belittle the crown and fall forever,
Slay the vandals and suffer never.
|— The Prayer of the King
Arwaith (are-WAY-eth), the Overgod, the Tyrant, the King is the first deity of the universe that contains Etan. He created the universe, time, and all other Deities.
Creation of the UniverseEdit
Arwaith molded together the universe and time as a swirling void of chaos, random and without form. He used a portion of his power to create four deities: Ardel, Faris, Glaile, and Ogden. He then chained all of existence to reside within his own rules of time and space. Once Arwaith grew bored, he left the four deities to themselves in pursuit of other interests. While gallivanting around the cosmos, he created multitudes of other gods. When he returned, he found the four deities he had left had created a throne world for him: Etan. However, he took little interest in it and left again.
Arwaith's ReturnEdit
- Main article: First Divine War
When he returned a second time, he found that several of the deities he had been creating had found their way to Etan. He also found that Etan had been populated by beings created by the deities he had left behind, most notably, humans. He became enraged upon seeing life, especially intelligent life, created by deities other than himself, and demanded that the four destroy Etan. When they refused, he proceeded to attack Etan in an attempt to destroy everything. He created a base of operations and new deities to help him. However, he soon discovered that each time he created a new deity, he diminished his own power. When he attacked, the other deities banded together and due to his diminished power, repelled Arwaith. He was forced to retreat back into the cosmos to recover.
As Arwaith was recovering in the cosmos, he decided he needed to create one more ally, one that is not only extremely cunning, but also subtle and charismatic. Along came Skoros, who would become known as the god of trickery and cruelty. Arwaith sent Skoros to Etan to befriend the deities, sow distrust among them, and set them against each other.
The Second Divine WarEdit
- Main article: Second Divine War
Once Arwaith felt Skoros had sufficiently fractured the deities, he returned again to finish what he had started. During his assault Arwaith managed to kill several deities which returned some of his power to him. After several years of conflict and devastation of Etan, the other deities eventually banded together again to stop Arwaith together.
The Great ExodusEdit
It appeared that Arwaith, with help from his allies, was too strong for the others to drive away again. He was slowly destroying Etan and all who inhabited it. In a last ditch effort to stop Arwaith, the other deities created a barrier locking Arwaith in the heavens along with any other divine beings. From that day on, Arwaith has watched from the sky with his large white eye while Vultus chases him though the heavens.
Arwaith is a jealous and tyrannical god. He considers the Sator to be vandals and mortal life to be a mockery of divine life. In spite of being the oldest of gods, he is a rather childish deity. He is not very clever, and complex tactics usually alluded him. For this reason, upon Arwaith's return, Skoros became a major adviser to Arwaith. Arwaith usually follows Skoros's advice in fighting the gods, however, being power hungry and narcissistic, he will sometime intentionally ignore Skoros's advise believing himself to be far superior.
Open followers of Arwaith are quickly lynched, stoned, beheaded, or otherwise executed. The only members of society that pray to him do so in secret. In spite of this dark skeleton in their closets, they are usually very successful, achieving political power and somewhat resembling their god's lust for it. Most worshipers believe that they will be rewarded with protection, power, eternal life, or even Etan itself if they are loyal and dedicated enough.
Dragons, however are unique. The colored ones fought to prevent the tyranny of black dragons and Arwaith, still, they had a great respect for him. They knew that without him, nothing would exist, let alone themselves. Most mortals did not see it from this angle, as they were "too short-sighted," according to the dragons.

Morrisons loses appeal and faces payout over leak of staff data
Three senior judges agreed that Morrisons was "Vicariously liable" for the leak by a rogue executive in a ruling on Monday. "He said:"This case involves a significant data leak which affected more than 100,000 Morrisons employees - checkout staff, shelf-stackers, and factory workers; hard working people on whom Morrisons' entire business relies. The case is the first data leak class action in the UK. Wm Morrison said it would appeal to the Supreme Court, although it is up to the Supreme Court justices whether they hear the case. "Morrisons has not been blamed by the courts for the way it protected colleagues' data but they have found that we are responsible for the actions of that former employee, even though his criminal actions were targeted at the company and our colleagues," the company said in a statement. "Morrisons worked to get the data taken down quickly, provide protection for those colleagues and reassure them that they would not be financially disadvantaged. In fact, we are not aware that anybody suffered any direct financial loss. We believe we should not be held responsible so that's why we will now appeal to the Supreme Court."

2010-2015 Kia Optima: Morimoto Elite HID System
Renowned: The Morimoto Elite Systems have earned their reputation amongst many as the aftermarket's best set of HID's.
Optioned Out: With a variety of available options, the Morimoto Elite HID system can be configured perfectly just for you.
HID Ballasts: The all new XB ballasts feature relocated igniters like OEM units, putting them far closer to the HID bulb. The lack of high voltage transmitted through wiring drastically reduces EMI/RFI (radio interference). Total system reliability is also improved by shielding the main circuit board from the static produced by these high voltage bursts on start up. (not to mention they're damn good looking!)
HID Bulbs: At the heart of the XB H11 and XB 880 bulbs is their perfectly aligned 100% Philips Quartz glass that houses a capsule from APL-USA. Using high quality halide salts from German-supplier Messer; the bulbs produce nearly the same luminosity (intensity) as the amazing Osram CBI bulbs at 5500K. No, you're not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night!
Wiring: The special Optima Spec HD Relay Harness features an all-new completely sealed double 40A Relays, 14 gauge stranded copper wire wrapped in durable black tech-flex mesh that looks like a factory harness once installed. No cutting or splicing here: there are only five connections and they're all plug-n-play. Most importantly, the harness includes the proper capacitor to absorb and smooth out the pulsed signal from the factory headlight circuit that plagues these trucks.
Backed Up: Let's not forget the 5-year warranty on the entire kit*. The Elite system is designed to run for 2500 hours, so that's what it's guaranteed for. Don't buy into empty promises from other places offering BS "lifetime" warranties. Nothing lasts forever, and if you think "the other guy" will be there to pick up the phone or even stay in business long enough to assist you when there's a problem; guess again! [*XB55 kits have 3 year warranty]

Alison Bodine, the Financial Co-ordinator of the riven AMS resource group, the Social Justice Centre, landed in jail this week after trying to caim belongings that had been confiscated from her on re-entering Canada from her native U.S. No charges have been laid, and a hearing that was sceduled for today was cancelled. RCMP has declined comment.
Bodine is a well-recognized figure in certain 'activist' circles, being a leader in a bewildering assortment of badly named radical/lunatic groups, namely MAWO, CAWOPI and more! In a dramatic coup d'etat last spring, Bodine and some others from her group managed to grab a majority of the executive positions in the embattled AMS-funded resource group. Nobody should be jailed for trying to cross the border with pamphlets (no matter how stupid) though.
To free Alison, check out the Committee To Free Alison Bodine (no joke).

In 1938, the firm designed a church built in red and yellow brick showing a Scandinavian influence. This Roman Catholic church was constructed on the site of the 'Pavillion', a house within the ownership of the Earl of Eglinton.

All things change constantly! And dealing with constantly changing data at low latency is pretty hard. It doesn't need to be that way. Apache Kafka, the de facto standard open-source distributed stream processing system. Many of us know Kafka's architectural and pub/sub API particulars. But that doesn't mean we're equipped to build the kind of real-time streaming data systems that the next generation of business requirements are doing to demand. We need to get on board with streams!
Viktor Gamov will introduce Kafka Streams and KSQL — an important recent addition to the Confluent open source platform that lets us build sophisticated stream processing systems with little to no code at all! They will talk about how to deploy stream processing applications and look at the actual working code that will bring your thinking about streaming data systems from the ancient history of batch processing into the current era of streaming data!
P.S. No prior knowledge of Kafka Streams, KSQL or Ghostbusters needed!

Despite the displacement of migrants, following the dismantling of the camps in late 2016 and the Great Synthe fire in early April 2017, the number of people in the region is estimated at 2,300 people including 300 women and children, living in the jungles or in the wild, without a fixed camp. With the arrival of spring, humanitarian organizations fear the influx of new migrants into the area.
Faced with the worrying health situation, the Foundation, which has partnered Gynécologie Sans Frontière (GSF - Gynecology without Borders) since 2012, has decided to continue its support for the "Caminor Project" until December 2017.
Starting at the end of 2015, Caminor's mission is to take care of women and their children both medically and psycho-socially.
Volunteer midwives and gynecologists from GSF:
On top of these daily activities, since December 2016 their work has included running three apartments as "Shelters for victims of violence" and coordinating the Women's Center of the Grande Synthe camp, which receives women and children during the day.
Since November 2015, GSF has carried out nearly 4,500 actions during 34 missions by 157 volunteers.
The Foundation has supported GSF's actions in Calais since early 2016.
