Coffman Commentaries on the Old and New Testament
Practically all of this chapter is without parallel in Kings. It supplements the record of Hezekiah's extensive reforms that are mentioned there. We see here that his work was not merely negative, in such things as destroying the high places and cutting down the Asherim. He also did many positive things toward pointing Israel back to the true worship of God.
Carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place (2 Chronicles 29:5). This was the accumulated dirt from years of neglect.F1
They have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel (2 Chronicles 29:7). But does not 2 Kings 16:14-16 state that Ahaz himself made offerings on that special altar? Yes, indeed; but there is no contradiction here. The Chronicler is merely telling us (and those Levites) that those sacrifices that Ahaz offered on an Assyrian altar, were, in no sense, offered unto the God of Israel, but were actually sacrifices to Assyrian gods.F2 Note the underlined words in this paragraph.
Jehovah hath chosen you (the Levites) to stand before him (2 Chr. 11). Here again we find an acute consciousness of the Law of God through Moses in the Pentateuch, especially in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, where the choice of the Levites and the sons of Aaron was first revealed. It is the proliferation of dozens of such references as these in Chronicles that sends the radical critics into frantic screams of Midrash!
This single chapter is a complete contradiction of the critical denials of it with abundant proof of the existence of the whole Pentateuch in the reign of Hezekiah, generations prior to Josiah and that fairy tale about the P Code.
It is the conviction of this writer that the author of whatever source was quoted by the Chronicler here (see our introduction for a list of these) had a complete copy of the Law of Moses (the whole Pentateuch) before him when he wrote down the events related in this chapter.
(1) The wrath of Jehovah was upon Judah (2 Chronicles 29:8). This word (wrath) is used in Deut. 28:25,F3 where Moses had predicted this very disaster that befell Judah.
(2) For Jehovah hath chosen you (2 Chronicles 29:11). This is stated in Num. 3:6, 8:6, and in Deut. 10:8.
(3) They brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats for a sin-offering for the kingdom (2 Chronicles 29:21). The use of these animals for that purpose was authorized in Lev. 1:3f; 14:20; and 16:24. Seven victims were offered because seven was a sacred number.F4
(4) The use of seven victims instead of one in certain sacrifices was authorized in Num. 28:11ff.
(5) The priests received the blood and sprinkled it upon the altar (2 Chronicles 29:22). The ritual for this action is found in the law of Moses in Exo. 29:16, and in Lev. 1:5,11.
(6) The king and the assembly laid their hands upon them (the sacrifices) (2 Chronicles 29:23). This ceremony is described in Lev. 1:4.
(7) And they made a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar (2 Chronicles 29:24) In Lev. 4:25,34 is found the description of exactly how this was done.
(8) Come near,. and bring thank-offerings into the house of Jehovah (2 Chronicles 29:31) The thanksgiving here was for the joy over the renewal of the worship of Jehovah.F5 Instructions for the offerings and ceremonies for such an occasion are found in Lev. 7:12ff.
(9) The burnt-offerings. with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering ... so the service for the house of Jehovah was set in order (2 Chronicles 29:35). The drink offerings were of wine and probably poured like the blood at the base of the altar.F6 Very complete and detailed instructions for these sacrifices, including the drink-offerings, are found in Num. 15:1-15.
Note here that Hezekiah followed instructions for the services of the house of Jehovah, instructions that are detailed in the Mosaic writings of the Pentateuch.
Before leaving this analysis, we must ask, "How do the critics attempt to get rid of such proof as this? Curtis has this succinct statement of their only answer.
It must be remembered that the writer was drawing largely upon his imagination, and evidently cared little about accuracy of detail.F7
To such so-called scholarship as this, we wish to say NO! It is the evil radical critics, seeking to destroy faith in the Word of God, who are drawing upon their imagination. The real Biblical Midrash is that imaginary P Code, that alleged discovery in the reign of Josiah, the Jehovist, the Elohist, the Deuteronomist, and the Second, Third, or Twentieth ISAIAH, and all the rest of those fraudulent, imaginary, ephemeral and constantly changing "documents" invented by evil men and imposed upon believers under the guise of their being scholarly. And may it be said again that until all of those alleged documents (or any single one of them, for that matter) can be produced and scientifically evaluated, the truly intelligent person may safely reject them.
See our discussion above regarding the many reflections of the Pentateuch in this chapter, especially in this paragraph.
For the commandment was of Jehovah by his prophets (2 Chronicles 29:25). This is the passage in the O.T. which is supposed to justify the use of mechanical instruments of music in the ancient worship of the Jews; but it should be observed that the commandment which is here said to have come from God is not specifically identified in this key sentence; and the Syriac and Arabic versions in this place do not support what is written here. Both those versions make the commandment which came of God through his prophets applicable exclusively to the order that the Levites should praise God; And the Hebrew text certainly supports such a rendition.F8 Note that there is a distinction made in this very passage between the instruments of David (2 Chronicles 29:26) and the song of Jehovah (2 Chronicles 29:27).
The importance of this is emphasized by the apparent contradiction which the ASV and other current versions make in this passage with the prophet Amos. The passage has no bearing whatever upon the question of the use of such instruments in Christian worship; but an investigation of it is important because the Word of God does not contradict itself; and if this passage stands as it appears here, what about the passages in Amos? This writer holds the passages in Amos to be correct, and this one to be mistranslated here. (See our Excursus on this subject at the end of Psalms II.)
The position which we have taken on this is very strongly supported by the fact that the Orthodox Hebrew religion has never allowed instruments of music in their worship; and, presumably, they know the Hebrew a lot better than modern critics.
In the words of David, and of Asaph the seer (2 Chronicles 29:30). This indicates that what we know as The Psalms were sung as hymns on this occasion.
The Levites were more upright. than the priests (2 Chronicles 29:34). That this opinion of the Levites might be, A reflection of the Chronicler's personal bias,F9 is unacceptable. The truth of what he said had already been demonstrated before all Israel in the subservience of the priest Urijah to king Ahaz (2 Kings 16:16).
For the thing was done suddenly (2 Chronicles 29:36). This change from apostasy to loyalty to Jehovah took place almost immediately upon Hezekiah's accession to the throne. It was the result of a common impulse both of the king and of the people, apparently without any preparation (or delay).F10

Betting that users of its in-store payments hardware and web services want to use Square across their mobile apps as well, the company is launching a mobile software development kit Wednesday that takes aim at some established mobile payments giants.
The Square In-App Payments Kit will work with iOS and Android devices as well as the Flutter cross-platform mobile development system. Developers using the new services will be able allow customers to use Apple Pay or Google Pay as well as regular old credit cards within their own mobile apps, and connect that data to purchases made in their brick-and-mortar stores or on the web.
Payments services are, obviously, a huge part of the mobile app economy, and it's not very easy to build a mobile system that's compliant with financial regulations involving internet payments. Companies like Stripe and PayPal's Braintree have been offering similar services to app developers for years, but Square thinks that its "omnichannel" approach will convince developers to go all-in with Square, said Carl Perry, developer lead at the company.
"Square is the only provider that owns everything end to end," he said, linking the new mobile app services to Square's popular point-of-sale hardware devices. It's harder than it sounds to integrate payment data coming from different payments providers, and businesses might be able to uncover interesting insights into how their customers purchase their goods or services across channels, Perry argued.
Developers interested in kicking the tires on the new SDK can find it here.

Goals | Project Components | Timeline | Stakeholders & Partners | E-mail List
Highways connect us, but also divide the land and create barriers to safe passage for both outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife. Highway 17 has fragmented thousands of acres of open space in the Santa Cruz Mountains, limiting the ability of wildlife to find food, mates and habitat, and blocking several regional trail connections.
We are currently developing wildlife and regional trail crossings across Highway 17 to connect over 30,000 acres of protected public lands. To meet the needs of both animals and a variety of recreational trail users, one or more large crossing structures are needed. Well-placed and appropriately designed crossings will enable wide-ranging animals like mountain lions to roam and help reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions.
Highway 17 Wildlife and Regional Trail Crossings Information Sheet
Sign up to receive project updates
Project Update
On October 23, the Midpen board advanced four crossing structure alternatives—wildlife crossings at two proposed locations, and recreational crossings at two different proposed locations—to the next phase of Caltrans review, Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED). While wildlife and trail crossings share the same goal, they fulfill different objectives: one to facilitate use by wildlife to connect 30,600 acres of protected habitat and the other to facilitate use by regional trail users as a critical element to closing a trail gap that would link over 50 miles of Bay Area Ridge Trail. To meet these objectives, two separate crossing structures are recommended.
Project Goals
- Link over 30,000 acres of habitat and protected public lands on either side of Highway 17 including Midpen preserves (El Sereno, St Joseph's Hill, Bear Creek Redwoods) as well as Santa Clara County Parks (Lexington, Sanborn, and Almaden Quicksilver).
- Improve motorist safety by reducing the potential for collisions with wildlife (and recreational users).
- Maintain healthy wildlife populations.
- Provide for safe movement of wildlife and recreational trail users across Highway 17.
- Connect over 50 miles of existing trails—Bay Area Ridge Trail and Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail
Project Components
This project includes the development of wildlife and trail crossings and the additional new recreational trails necessary to connect to crossings for both. Midpen has worked together with project stakeholders, partner agencies and the public to develop and review potential crossing locations and trail connections.
Wildlife and Recreational Trail Crossings
Through an extensive three-year process, we developed eight potential crossing options. Caltrans review of these project alternatives is currently underway. The next phase of the project, environmental review, is scheduled to begin in late 2019.
- Revised Alternatives Report - FINAL
- Report Appendices - FINAL
- Summary of Public Comments on Crossings - FINAL
Regional Trail Connections
Building the crossings is just one part of the solution. New trails also need to be built to connect the crossing to existing trails. We studied many potential trail routes to determine the best options.
- Highway 17 Regional Trail Connections Study Report - FINAL
- Report Appendices - FINAL
- Summary of Public Comments on Connections
Project Presentation - Planning and Natural Resources Committee Meeting
September 17, 2019
The Highway 17 crossings project was ranked as a Top 25 Priority in our 2014 Vision Plan. Partial funding of $16 million of voter-approved Measure AA funds has been allocated to the project. While regional connecting trails were also identified as a high priority, trail connections to the crossing will require funding through other means. Midpen is leading this locally, regionally and nationally important project and will collaborate with many partners and stakeholders to fund this work.

I built a cricket game a few years ago, called "The Best Cricket Game Ever". I haven't touched it in a couple of years because I don't have the time. My account got disabled on the google play store for violating their policies on other apps, but it's still available on the mac store.
The website is http://www.bestcricketgame.com.
The game is fun for cricket tragics. Unlike most cricket games, it's completely unmasterable due to its random nature. The graphics are on the disappointing side (I'm not an artist) but the game play is loved by a lot of people (myself included!!).
I think it could be a popular and financially successful game given the right input from someone else, or some other people. There are a couple of billion people in India that could love it

Like almost any large moving part in your home, your garage door needs maintenance to run properly. Does your garage door need a little TLC? Make sure it's properly maintained! This is the best way to help ensure it remains in good working order.
Garage Door Maintenance
There may be a lot of projects you handle around the house, but caring for your garage door is best left to the pros. Generally, such maintenance includes steps such as:
- Cleaning the garage door track: We don't recommend lubricating the garage door track in an attempt to alleviate noisy operation. What is needed is a simple cleaning with a damp cloth followed by a clean dry rag. A small amount of WD40 may be appropriate for removing any sticky residue on the track.
- Realigning the sensors: The sensors at the bottom of the garage door act as a safety feature. When the beam is interrupted while the garage door is closing, it reverses to prevent trapping anything beneath it. Check for a blinking light. If you see this error indication, the sensors should be realigned.
- Lubricating the appropriate components: The chain rail, hinges, stems, metal rollers and other components should be lubricated when the garage door becomes excessively loud. While some parts require lubricant to function properly, others can be ruined by it, which is why you should leave this job to the professionals.
- Inspecting and resetting the opener if necessary: Regular inspection can help prevent problems with the garage door opener before they arise. A reset is also an option if your garage door stops working properly.
- Inspecting springs, cables and hardware: A quick visual inspection can help determine if you need a garage door tune-up. A service technician can make necessary adjustments or repairs for a quick fix.
All of these tasks should be handled by professionals.

GreenFaith in the Spring, Part 4
"For all that is our life" by Rev. Andrew
(Read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.)
We began our last day at Stony Point with a further discussion about GreenFaith itself, which is currently reorganizing on a global scale in order to more effectively address the climate crisis. Specifically, since we're completing our first year as Fellows, we talked about how GreenFaith can continue to support us and re-engage with previous classes of Fellows and activate environmentalists across the United States and around the world. With eleven years for us to make the systemic changes needed to get climate change under control and avoid catastrophe, there is a sense of urgency that needs to translate into widespread and forceful action.
Before heading our separate ways, we finished with an activity that I have heard of some Unitarian Universalist congregations doing. The Climate Ribbon is an art-based ritual, launched at the conclusion of the 2014 People's Climate March in New York, "to grieve what each of us stands to lose to climate chaos and affirm our solidarity as we unite to fight against it." GreenFaith's organizers had brought a piece of the Climate Ribbon installation from the 2015 UN Climate Summit in Paris, and we were invited to add to it. Each of us wrote on a length of ribbon the name of a place or a people at risk, as well as our own name, and then exchanged it with another ribbon so that we'd carry someone else's hope with us. I wrote "Newport News VA" on my ribbon, both for the health impacts of the coal held in the Southeast Community and for the effects of sea-level rise resulting from global warming thanks to the burning of that coal in Asia.
GreenFaith in the Spring, Part 3
"For all that is our life" by Rev. Andrew
(Read Part 1 and Part 2.)
After a starting our day outdoors with Surya Namaskār (Salute to the Sun) led by our Hindu Fellows, we continued working on our leadership projects, refining them in small groups so that we can present them clearly and concisely. Many of our projects parallel one another in some way, which isn't too surprising given that we share in GreenFaith's larger purpose of working through and across religion to respond to the climate crisis. That was even more pronounced in my small group, with one Fellow developing a process for congregations to evaluate and improve their facilities and another developing a web site as a hub for green building resources and information. My GreenFaith cohort is a great resource for my own project of a Zoom-based green living and congregational sustainability workshop!
This afternoon we broke into pairs for an envisioning exercise. Specifically, we imagined that we were writing a magazine article in the year 2030 regarding some significant difference that GreenFaith has made in response to the climate crisis. Another Fellow and I imagined an article entitled "Last Coal-Fired Power Plant in the World Decommissioned", building on the successful divestment of all North American religious organizations from fossil fuels and the and the development of GreenFaith India to put pressure on governments and industries world-wide. Since this would be a magazine article, it would include such pictures as a shuttered coal plant, a field of solar panels and the Koch brothers crying.
This evening was focused on GreenFaith's growing international work. We had heard from an organizer with a partner interfaith organization in Brazil, which is facing new challenges following recent elections, and now had a presentation by a partner from Indonesia, a Muslim-majority country where there as been some success with edicts against the hunting of endangered species and the destruction of natural habitats, as well as a Zoom call from a gathering in Chile where one of this year's Fellows lives. A Quaker, a member of a Unity Church and I closed the day's program with an embodied meditation on interdependence, using a Unitarian Universalist youth activity using a ball of thread to build a web that connected us all together.
GreenFaith in the Spring, Part 2
"For all that is our life" by Rev. Andrew
(Read Part 1 here.)
Today began with a POP — a way of talking about our work that focuses on purpose (the "why" we're doing something) as the foundation distinct from both outcomes (the "what" we're doing) and processes (the "how" we're doing it). When it comes to purpose, the question is, What are we trying to change? There's no purpose in doing a project just for the sake of doing a project. It's also important to ask, What is our theory of change?
As part of my GreenFaith Fellowship, my project comes from the Fellowship's action plan to become a Green Sanctuary, originally submitted to the Unitarian Universalist Association in 2013. Namely, we proposed to host a Green Living and Congregational Sustainability Workshop, bringing together congregations and others from across the region. Thanks to today's technology, we can resolve the contradiction of asking people to spend time in cars in order to drive to a workshop about about green! Using a videoconferencing platform such as Zoom, we can offer a one-day remote-access workshop for congregational groups and individuals, as well as offering an example for other organizers of green events to follow. However, these, as our discussion of POP explained, are outcomes. The purpose is to help congregations and households to reduce their ecological footprints — hence both the focus of the workshop as well as the method of convening it. (Stay tuned for more information about this workshop, which will likely take place in late August.)
Next we heard an update about GreenFaith itself from its Executive Director, the Rev. Fletcher Harper. Founded in 1992, and inspired in part by the Rio Earth Summit, GreenFaith is refocusing on its core purpose in order to more effectively and powerfully respond to the climate crisis from religious and moral perspectives. With a renewed international emphasis, including the launch of a Fellowship program in India, priorities include love, compassion, equity and justice, and concern for the vulnerable: ethnic minorities, women and workers.
We also heard from Martin Kopp, Director of GreenFaith's Living the Change project. This is a program promoting green living — particularly in the areas of transportation, diet and energy use — that complements other necessary paths to environmental sustainability and renewal such as policy actions and cultural change. Individual action with supporting companionship to embrace climate-friendly lifestyles is a way of leading by example. Look for events this Fall, September 1st through November 3rd, under the banner of "Time for Living the Change".
Returning to our POP discussion, we considered "The Four Rs" as (complementary) ways of bringing about change:
GreenFaith in the Spring, Part 1
"For all that is our life" by Rev. Andrew
This week, I am at the second retreat of my GreenFaith Fellowship this year. This time, we are just north of New York City at the Stony Point Center, a conference facility of the Presbyterian Church USA that is home to a multifaith community committed to radical hospitality, and we began by meeting Will and Amara, two of the community members who grow food served in the cafeteria. As well as describing their farming work here, they talked about their efforts to support local Native American communities and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers.
Next the Fellows and GreenFaith staff took some time to reintroduce ourselves to one another, since, although we meet virtually each month for a Zoom webinar, we have not met in person since November. Fellows arrived here today from the US along the East Coast as well as Texas and Colorado, with international Fellows coming from Rwanda and Zambia. Then we developed a covenant, outlining some of the ways we intend to be with one another this week. Some of the Fellows are Muslim, and they are observing the practices (including fasting) of Ramadan, so we engaged in a helpful cross-cultural conversation around what that means for our community and how we can support one another.
After dinner — for the non-Muslims; our Muslim friends would break their fast with Iftar at sunset — we spent some time in small groups sharing climate change stories. The idea behind such stories is that talking about personal experiences is more impactful than describing events in remote places. (Not everyone can relate to a hungry polar bear on a disintegrating ice floe!) For my story, I spoke of Hurricane Florence last Summer, which had for a while been headed directly for Hampton Roads, resulting in a mandatory evacuation of the first of our flood zones, before it shifted slightly south. As we witnessed the devastation of coastal communities in North Carolina, we realized how that could have been us, and we knew that — this time — we had been lucky.
After breaking for Iftar — including the traditional (and delicious!) dates — and organizing small groups to offer short reflections on faith and nature for each morning and evening of the retreat, we finished up with conversations reflecting on our day together, each of us offering a word that expressed our reflection. I offered "potential", given my conversation with a Fellow from Colorado who recently testified before the state legislature on a bill to regulate carbon emissions and decided to address his comments to those who still needed to be convinced: "treat your opponents as unlikely allies," he said!
Mission in Motion: "Drumama!"
According to Connie, Ubaka taught her that learning to drum gives people a powerful voice to express to the world. Connie remains inspired by this teacher's belief that if we could learn cooperation, we would be amazed at what we could accomplish together. Ubaka says, "If the drum is a woman, do not beat your drum, help her find her voice."
Connie had never done drumming before, but after that weekend, she not only found her voice but also heard the call to help other women find theirs.
Connie started with other UUs as they founded a women's drumming group in Norfolk. The core group often performed on stage at local events, but Connie realized the value of drumming for non-performers, as well. She learned the power of drumming with women as a way to promote healing from past struggles, abuses and illnesses.
Connie started a Women's Drumming Circle at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Peninsula (UUFP) that meets every month. It is open to those who identify as women, of all ages, and all religious backgrounds.
A former minister at UUFP held a course on Native American Spirituality—that curriculum and her connection to Earthrising (UUFP's CUUPS group) added to her experiences in her UU faith.
"One of the most UU experiences I ever had was participating in several yearly Peace Vigils at the foot of the Washington Monument in D.C. Each weekend was filled with songs and music and round-the-clock ceremony with folks from the world's religions." She signed up to drum to keep the sacred fire going all night long. Being able to speak up for peace in the Nation's capital and bring water to the Elders were very meaningful ways to walk her faith.
As a child, Connie had polio and spent two long stints hospitalized.

Services for May 2019
theme: Edifying
Unless otherwise noted, services include sermons preached by Rev. Andrew Clive Millard and take place at 9:30am and 11:15am on Sundays.
May 5th: "Ever Since Baltimore"
On May 5th 1819, the Rev. William Ellery Channing preached a sermon at the ordination of Jared Sparks by the First Independent Church in Baltimore. Though hardly anybody heard the sermon, thanks to the new church's poor acoustics and Channing's soft speech, tens of thousands of copies of it were sold, with an impact that forever changed the nature of our religion.
May 12th: "Seeing Mom Through Adult Eyes"
Edification is the instruction or improvement of a person morally or intellectually. One may expect that mothers will work on the edification of their children, but one may find the most edification comes when those children gain enough maturity to begin to critically assess their mothers.
Rev. Cynthia Snavely is a Unitarian Universalist minister who has served congregations in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. She currently lives in Hayes with her daughter, son-in-law and four grandsons.
May 19th: "Temperance. Suffrage. Equality?"
One hundred years ago, Congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." Women's suffrage was part of a longer justice effort in which Universalists and Unitarians were involved, from the temperance movement to the prohibition of racial discrimination in voting in 1965, and it continues in the fight for full equality under the law.
May 26th: "The Memories We Share"
Our faith rightly celebrates "a freedom that reveres the past but trusts the dawning future more". Last May, we celebrated our sixtieth anniversary as a congregation, sharing with one another the stories of the Fellowship's journey. A year later, how is our vision of the UUFP's future taking shape? How do we imagine ourselves living more deeply into our mission to grow in wonder, connect in love, engage in service and inspire generosity?
Special music will be provided by the UUFP's ChorUUs!

If you're having problems with vaginal dryness and itching, and you're losing interest in sexual intercourse, don't just chalk it up to the routine aging process. The providers at South Miami OB/GYN Associates in South Miami, Florida, use advanced laser therapy for a quick, painless, and highly effective treatment to eliminate your symptoms and restore your vaginal health. Call or contact the office with our convenient online program to schedule your appointment.
Vaginal dryness leading to irritation occurs naturally with aging as collagen and elastin production decrease. Hormonal changes after menopause can also wreak havoc on vaginal health, decreasing tone and muscle fitness in the vaginal area.
Childbirth is another natural occurrence that often stretches and causes laxity in the vaginal muscles.
While these symptoms are discouraging enough on their own, problems such as stress urinary incontinence and increased risk of vaginal infection can also be due to a decline in vaginal health.
Lasers used for vaginal rejuvenation are powered by CO2 and these handheld devices are designed to fit into the vagina for treatment. When you undergo a laser treatment, the heat energy produced by the laser ablates or removes the top layers of the tissue lining the vagina. When this occurs, the body goes into healing mode and stimulates collagen and elastin to help heal, tone, and strengthen the vaginal wall. This process makes sexual intercourse enjoyable again as it reduces dryness and irritation. Because stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is often a consequence of bladder drooping or prolapse, vaginal laser rejuvenation also successfully treats (SUI) by strengthening the vaginal wall. This supports the bladder and brings it back into the correct position.
It's a relatively quick procedure that lasts under 30 minutes.
There's no recovery time afterward but it is generally recommended you avoid sexual intercourse for 3-5 days following a treatment. The providers at South Miami OB/GYN Associates recommend 3 treatments for best results, using the FemTouch™ laser, the newest model from Lumenis®.
There is no pain with the treatment and no concerning side effects.
Most patients report a dramatic improvement in symptoms after the prescribed number of treatments.
Vaginal laser rejuvenation is considered safe and effective. Clinical trials have shown few risks and the laser is approved for use by medical professionals for the treatment of vaginal decline due to:

RJ Barrett has been playing basketball left-handed for years.
The New York Knicks guard has shot with his left hand all season, averaging 13.9 points per game throughout his rookie campaign, and played that way during his collegiate career at Duke.
Except Barrett isn't left-handed — and said he actually shoots better with his right hand.
"I'm right-handed with everything," Barrett said Wednesday, via the New York Post. "My mom was lefty. I do a lot of things with both hands.
"I've been told I have a better shooting form with my right, but I'm more comfortable with the left. I started as a kid shooting [with] two hands and gravitated to the left."
Barrett's shooting has been pretty inconsistent this season. He dropped 21 points in the Knicks' loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday, 14 in the first quarter, but has gone just 2-of-10 from the 3-point line since the All-Star break. He's shooting less than 40 percent from the field and just 31.1 percent from behind the arc this year, too.
In his defense, he has been battling a sprained ankle, which sidelined him for 10 games last month. In the 16 games before the ankle injury, though, Barrett shot 36.7 percent from the 3-point line, via the New York Post — an impressive jump up after a cold start to his NBA career.
"He went a 20-game stretch before he got hurt where he improved 10 percent on his 3-point shooting from the first 25 games," Knicks interim coach Mike Miller said, via the New York Post. "That's a big jump for a young guy. He's on the right track. The Houston game, he was as healthy as we've seen him on how to bounce back. That's a big part of shooting is having your feet under you and feeling comfortable."
For the time being, it sounds like Barrett is going to stick with his left hand. After all, it's already gotten him this far.
If he ever hits a shooting slump, though, he won't have to look far to find a solution. Apparently, all he'll have to do is just switch hands.

Today's question is mainly about tech talents and their Git profiles. So one of the potential applicants for Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa asked me: " I started contributing to the Git profile in the last 2 months only. Can you please tell me how I can fill this gap and attach this information to my visa application? "
My answer regarding Git profile is quite pessimistic: don't overestimate its importance. As the Guidelines say, this document may be useful if you are working on collaborative projects or any kind of socially useful digital projects.
Dark-green squares in Github profile does not mean too much since (a) they are based on your own commits, hence, cannot be investigated, (b) they are not a measure of your expert level at all (silly code can be committed with the same success as masterpieces).
That is why, first of all – you need, first of all, focus on the other supporting documents and if you still will have space in your 10 supporting docs (that are allowed to apply) – then you can add the info from your Git account.
If you are working actively only 2 months – you can explain what have you done before in a short notice among the other details about this Git document.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise just a little after midnight to return to an important issue I have had occasion to raise in the House and at committee. It has to do with the provisions of the trans-Pacific partnership deal, particularly chapter 12, and the potential effects of that chapter for Canadian tradespeople.
Chapter 12 of the TPP is about entry into Canada for temporary foreign workers. Unfortunately, it recreates some of the worst abuses of the temporary foreign worker program that we saw under previous Liberal and Conservative governments. The Liberals have said they want to the program. However, on the one hand, they say they are trying to fix, On the one hand, through the trans-Pacific partnership, they are actually reinstating it.
Often when I have raised this issue, I have been drowned in platitudes by the government. I thought it might be useful to refer to the text to try and orient the debate on the real concern. It is a concern we have heard loud and clear from building trade unions, which have a lot of experience in interpreting these kinds of documents, whether they are collective agreements or other policies that have a direct impact on workers.
The provisions we are particularly concerned about have to do with the number of categories under which we believe workers can enter Canada to perform trades work and if they meet the spirit of the agreement or not. We have certainly seen instances before where companies bring in workers in defiance of the spirit of agreements for temporary workers.
However, the TPP is very clear. For these categories of workers it states, "Canada shall grant temporary entry and provide a work permit or work authorisation to", in this case professionals and technicians, "and will not:
(a) require labour certification tests or other procedures of similar intent as a condition for temporary entry; or (b) impose or maintain any numerical restriction relating to temporary entry.
Members of the building trades have been very clear, to us on this side of the House, and they have made similar arguments to members of government, that this essentially means that there will not be any ability to have any kind of meaningful skills testing or to ensure that the workers who are brought in meet Canadian standards. There is also not going to be any attempt to canvas the Canadian labour market to ensure there are not qualified Canadians looking for that work.
I am coming back to that issue. If we look at agreements like the trans-Pacific partnership, and we have seen it in other trade agreements, when big business wants something in the agreement, it gets it, and it gets it in the legal wording of the text. Those are the types of assurances it gets and it knows it can go to court, whether to a real court, a national court, or an international trade tribunal established under the auspices of whatever agreement it is, and get satisfaction if those rules are broken.
However, when it comes to workers, there is no guarantee for workers in these agreements. When it comes to workers, it is always, "Trust us. We're going to set up a little program" or "We'll have some regulations." However, that will depend completely on the government of the day. There are no real assurances that the government will have any meaningful enforcement mechanism when it comes to this. There is no reassurance that it will be able to track these workers once they are in the country and ensure they perform work in accordance with this deal.
Therefore, why is the government willing to put assurances in these deals for big corporations and not for workers?

Dokumentation: Straßenproteste in der Ukraine im Oktober 2017 laut den Berichten der OSZE-BeobachtermissionDer Bericht der Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) der OSZE gibt Aufschluss über die Anzahl der Protestteilnehmer in Kiew, beteiligte Gruppierungen, sowie das Aufeinandertreffen von Polizisten und Aktivisten. Insgesamt ist von einem friedlichen Protest die Rede.
Die Sonderbeobachterkommission berichtet von Protestcamps, die in der ukrainischen Hauptstadt errichtet wurden. (© picture alliance/ZUMA Press)
17.10.2017In Kyiv, the SMM monitored gatherings in the city centre. At about 09:00 the Mission saw up to 3,000 people gather around Independence Square and then walk toward the National Bank of Ukraine on Instytutska Street. At about 11:30 the SMM saw about 1,500 participants (mostly aged 55–70, 75 per cent women) outside the National Bank building, some of whom carried flags of the political party Za Zhytia. About 430 police and National Guard officers were present. The gathering ended peacefully shortly after 13:00.
At about 10:15 the SMM saw hundreds of people (aged 20–60, 60 per cent men) on Sadova Street, many of whom carried flags of the political party Movement of New Forces. At the junction of Sadova and Hrushevskoho Streets, about 80m from the national Parliament building, dozens of police officers and National Guards conducted checks at a security barrier with four portable metal detectors. Beyond the barrier, the Mission saw about 5,000 people (aged 20–70, 65 per cent men) in front of the national Parliament building and in adjacent Mariinskyi Park, many of whom carried flags of political parties, including Movement of New Forces, Samopomich, Batkivshchyna and Svoboda, as well as the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and National Corps. Speakers said that the protestors' demands included political and electoral reform, the establishment of an anti-corruption court, and the lifting of immunity from prosecution for members of Parliament.
About 3,500 police and National Guard officers, many in riot gear, were nearby. (The SMM also saw up to 100 police officers near the Cabinet of Ministers building, and over 100 police and National Guard officers on Bankova Street.) Staff of a medical unit told the SMM that they had treated one civilian and one police officer for minor concussions, as well as two civilians who had been pepper sprayed. By 17:30, the number of participants had decreased to about 1,500. The Mission saw that about ten large and 20 small tents had been set up on Hrushevskoho Street and in Mariinskyi Park, and hundreds of sleeping bags were present. The Mission did not observe any serious incidents during its presence throughout the day.

18.10.2017In Kyiv, the SMM monitored gatherings in the city centre (see SMM Daily Report 18 October 2017). On 18 October, the SMM saw about 1,000 people (mostly elderly women) gathered near the National Bank of Ukraine on Instytuska Street. About 40 law enforcement officers were present. Protestors carried flags of the political party Za Zhyttia. The protest ended peacefully.
On the same day, at the junction of Sadova and Hrushevskoho Streets, about 80m from the national Parliament building—in the area where on 17 October the SMM saw four portable metal detectors—the SMM saw two police trucks parked in length narrowing the entrance of people into the area and police officers conducting checks of people. Inside the fenced area the SMM saw about 400–500 people on Hrushevskoho Street and in front of the entrance to the Parliament. About 80–100 law enforcement officers were present at the entrance of the fenced area and another 400 in front of the national Parliament building. The Mission saw about 15 large tents on the street, as well as ten additional large and about 30 small tents in the grass area in front of the entrance to the Parliament building. During its presence for about two hours, the SMM did not observe any incident.
On 17 October, in Odessa, the SMM monitored a gathering organized by a political party. The SMM saw about 70 people (aged 30–70, 30 per cent women) in front of the regional state administration building. They carried a flag of Ukraine, a black-and-red flag, and a flag of the organizing political party. Participants called for creation of an anti-corruption court, lifting of immunity of members of Parliament, and a change of the electoral system. The heads of seven political parties gave speeches and proposed a declaration of their demands. Later during the day, the heads of two political parties asked to meet the head of the regional state administration. Fifteen minutes later they entered the building.
On 17 October, in Kharkiv, the SMM monitored a peaceful protest of about 50 people (men and women of different age groups) organized by several political parties. Speakers called for anti-corruption measures, changes to the electoral system and lifting of immunity of members of Parliament.

Transformation of Media from Traditional to Digital : 7 Trends to Watch
Back in the day, when one had to get their product or service out in the market, they would have to rely on traditional media such as the newspaper, TV ads, magazines, fliers, billboards, radio and word of mouth marketing. It wasn't that long ago when fortune-500 companies were holding a pretty solid monopoly on most mainstream media channels, which meant they had complete control on the kind of products we were being informed of, the services we had access to, and the lifestyle we desired.
The main reason that small businesses were facing difficulties in being successful was because the cost of advertising and marketing was so immense that smaller models could never break even. Only the big fish could survive the cost of ad space and come out the other side with enough profits, or simply because they had the deepest pockets.
In today's digital world, we are seeing many successful startups, small businesses, and individuals selling homemade products pop up at every corner. Why such a drastic change in the global professional environment? This is due to the digital transformation of our market. People are looking less and less at traditional media for their information, and turning straight to digital media. On average, people check their Facebook feed 14 times in a day. Social media platforms, search engines, and influencers hold most of our attention, and frankly, our trust.
"We've moved from digital products and infrastructure to digital distribution and Web strategy to now into more holistic transformations that clearly are based on mobile, social media, digitization and the power of analytics and we think it's really a new era requiring new strategies."
– Saul Berman, IBM
Refer to the graph below from businessinsider.com to understand how the shift is happening.
Here are 7 key digital media trends to watch for:
1. Content being intelligently curated-
With the rise of content distributors and aggregators like Netflix and Youtube, the new content that is generated is tailored for our liking, based directly on how we've reacted and consumed previous content. Due to data analysis and an in-depth understanding of individual customers, digital media can now dish out content which they know we will consume. With traditional media, there were alot of hit and misses.
2. Mixed and virtual reality-
With giants like FIFA creating unique experiences like 360 VR experiences for their fans, and Pokemon Go going viral, filling this need gap is definitely a something that digital media will expand into. It will be an ongoing process of media transformation.
3. Fragmentation-
Gone are the days when we would watch cable TV for hours on end. Today, it's hard to keep a conversation going without constantly being interrupted by various media we have access to in the palm of our hands. So when media is being consumed, it's consumed on multiple channels, at once. Targeting all channels is key point in having effective digital communications.
4. Artificial Intelligence-
As mentioned in Forbes, In 2015, spending for AI was $300-350 million. Its projection for 2025: $30 billion. This is quite a large sum of money, and demonstrates the amount of investment the new age media is willing to spend on developing a 'collaboration' between the machine mind and the human mind.
5. Big Data-
Advertising is now becoming dependent on numericals and small pieces of information that create a larger picture. No longer are you an individual, you are data. Your likes, dislikes, content consumed, content shared, money spent and people interacted with is all being monitored to serve up a boutique platter of ads and suggestion that would be relevant to you.
6. Social Media-
There has never been a time in the history of man when each person can have a two-way conversation with whoever they like, quite publically. This has given rise to many micro-revolutions. Firstly, there is full accountability now. If someone is unhappy with your goods or services, they can publically claim so and warn others of the same. Secondly, even the smallest voice has a chance to be heard, and pick up momentum if the masses find it reasonable. Media has shifted from a one-way distribution of information to a two-way conversation between entities. Is has become social, and thus giving rise to digital communities that are not based on anything except the love for something shared.
7. Cord Cutting-
We no longer depend on the cord for information. It isn't required to be connected to a cable and absorb media we have no interest in while waiting for that 1 show. We can simply find our content online, wherever we go. It has created a whole new space for smaller collectives, or even individuals to become the source of information. Youtube, Netflix, Amazon have transformed the entertainment sector of media. People have vast libraries of selection, to be consumed when and how they like. The back end aspect of it is also much more intelligent since it learns from what you enjoy, and serves you more of it, keeping you engaged and entertained for a longer period of time.
"We should no longer be talking about 'digital marketing' but marketing in a digital world."
Keith Weed | Unilever, 2015

Ten Foot Pole pushes past 90's melodic punk genre limitations with Escalating Quickly, their first all new song album since 2004. Producer Ryan Greene, anxious to showcase his skills beyond the iconic 90's albums he produced (NOFX, Lagwagon, and No Use for a Name, etc.), was going for "The Bohemian Rhapsody of 90's punk," adding layers of ear candy and outlandish special guest shredding to the solid new TFP songs. Ryan added:
"If I never do a record after this I would want people to remember me by this record."
Guest contributions include guitar shred by Dan Palmer (Death by Stereo, Zebrahead, Billy Bio) and Dan Jacobs (Atreyu), bass riffs galore by "Lil Joe" Raposo (Lagwagon, RKL) and drumming by Sean Sellers (Good Riddance). These all-stars were encouraged to have fun and move past the usual confines of their famous gigs, leading to giggles and bombastic performances. The end result is worthy, according to Dan Palmer: "I've been a fan for quite some time and I honestly think this is the most musically exciting record that they've done!"
The walls of vocal harmonies, whisper to a scream dueling guitar riffs, frenetic bass runs, and even 80's keyboard and effects references compliment some of the best Ten Foot Pole songs ever. Founding member Dennis Jagard, singer/songwriter/guitarist, explains the songwriting process included trial by embarrassment; he carried an acoustic guitar while doing sound for Jimmy Eat World and "Weird Al" Yankovic tours, performing whenever possible, rocking sidewalks, parking lots, parks, and small venues worldwide.
"Singing in public helped me to quickly filter out any unworthy new songs. Belting it out in a W Hotel lobby in Seattle, for example, I only wanted to play the best material, the music and lyrics I was not ashamed to sing to random strangers."
Ten Foot Pole's history includes being hardcore band Scared Straight in California in the 1980's, fronted by a pro baseball pitcher up to 1995, being a well-traveled underground Epitaph style band in the 90's, and slowing down so that Dennis could do sound for Prince and other artists in the 2000's. In 2016 the album Setlist summarized the band's 90's melodic punk identity, just in time for Escalating Quickly to move beyond those genre limitations.
Escalating Quickly will be released by Thousand Islands Records, but was a DIY recording experiment; Ten Foot Pole seeks Patrons willing to subscribe at $1 per month or more, to help fund future recording, and in return offers supporters newsletters and early access to music, podcasts, videos and more. Links to become a Patron, as well as tour dates, social media links and more info are at TenFootPole.com

I had this exact conversation with my husband about 6 weeks ago and thought I maybe sounded a little nuts- Thank you Ive showed him this to explain its not me – its a higher yogic force!!
After attending a yoga retreat last week and having very indepth conversations with like-minded yogis on health and nutrition, I came to understand that yoga has a profound affect on nutrition – the way we eat and the way we relate to food. That is exactly what happened to me after I began practicing but I didn't realise that the affect was almost universal.
As the food industry relentlessly bombards us with a new fad diet or confusing 'must-do', or rule we are all forgetting how to eat instictively healthy – feeding our bodies what we need to grow, be nourished and healthy.
Through yoga there is a natural progression towards making better food choices without the guilt and emotinal battering we often put ourselves through.
The physical asana practices creates a deep awareness, deeping our understanding of our body and what it needs. Through yoga what grows is a conscious of foods that create a consistent sense of wellbeing or even those foods that create a sluggish, tired body or overactive unsettled mind.
Over time, yoga encourages it students to come into a more comfortable and balanced relationship with food.
It takes time, be patient, begin to tune into the body and listen. Through building discipline in your practice, inviting patience and cultivating compassion you can begin to overcome alot of the food quirks we often have. No matter how formidable they may seem. And start to love your food in a healthier way.
Enjoy it all.
Signing off with an exhale.
Pause. Listen. Live (and eat!)
2 Comments to "A YOGIC RELATIONSHOP WITH FOOD"
You are not nuts… although I have considered the same about myself many times. Glad this helped you out and hopefully enlightened your hubby a little.
Thanks for your comment!

Today, Jihlavan delivers components for a number of domestic and international aircraft companies. Historically, it participated in producing aircraft that were developed in Czechoslovakia by companies like Aero Vodochody or Let Kunovice. A new chapter of the company and its further development has been opened by projects for Airbus, one of the two major aircraft manufacturers in the world.
The Cirrus SR22 is a single-engine four or five-seat compact aircraft manufactured by Cirrus Aircraft in Duluth, Minnesota since 2001. It is a successor to the Cirrus SR20, having a larger wing, higher fuel capacity and more powerful engine.
The SR22 range is the best-selling aircraft for general aviation world-wide. Together with the SR20, they are among the best-selling aircraft of the 21st century.
The hydropneumatic damper of the nose undercarriage is the only hydraulic device in the four-seat Cirrus SR-22 aircraft.
Aircraft sales vary from 300 to 400 pieces a year.
The project has been transferred to Jihlavan based on a trilateral agreement among Technometra Radotín, Cirrus Aircraft and Jihlavan.
Based on this agreement, Cirrus Aircraft has become the owner of the design for the hydropneumatic damper and Jihlavan has become the owner of the mass production documentation.

As a Realtor®, you know the importance of keeping the lead generation funnel constantly moving.
And you also have probably heard something about the power of social media, and how utilizing various platforms can really make an impact on the success of your business.
But…how are you supposed to find the time to invest in real estate social media?
It's definitely important, but there has to be a better way to manage your social media platforms so they don't suck away all of your time.
Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to leverage the power of social media without spending copious amounts of time that you don't really have.
So, today, we've put together a list of our top time-saving tips for real estate social media – see if any of these might work for you!
1. Find Your Real Estate Social Media 'Best Fit'
There are about a million (slight exaggeration…but only slight) social media platforms out there available for you to connect with potential leads and existing clients. But that doesn't mean you should try to be on all of them. It's important that you really do your research and figure out where your ideal clients are hanging out, whether that be Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or something else entirely. Then, build a social presence on those platforms and focus on maintaining them on a regular basis. Note: it may take a bit of trial and error to find the right platform for your business, but don't give up! You'll find it.
2. Harness the Power of Stencil
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but when it comes to social media, pictures are worth more than just words. Since our brains can process images 60,000 times faster than text, images become critical in grabbing your readers' attention immediately and keeping them engaged with the content you post on your social platforms. And that's where Stencil comes in. Stencil allows you to easily create beautiful images to accompany your text posts, and even allows you to post to your social accounts instantly – no hassle. Big time saver!
3. Use Time-Saving Resources like Socially Posted
Maybe you're really just not interested in posting/managing/maintaining your own social media accounts. That's okay! There are a lot of great companies out there to whom you can outsource your social media posting for a low monthly fee. Socially Posted is one of those companies, and they'll post new content to your chosen social media platforms every day so you don't even have to worry about it. One thing about social media is that the posts need to stay consistent if you want to see success, so if you're really busy, outsourcing is a great option for you.
4. Automate Your Real Estate Social Media with Buffer
If you're not interested in outsourcing, you can still manage your social media platforms and save a lot of time in the process by using an automation tool such as Buffer. With a 'set it and forget it' functionality, Buffer's software allows you to go into your account (or multiple accounts if you're using the paid version) and physically schedule out your company's social media posts for days, weeks and even months at a time. This way you can get everything scheduled at once and then just let it do its thing. One thing to keep in mind, though – you need to keep an eye on your posts to make sure that they're still appropriate/relevant when they are scheduled to post, especially if you schedule far in advance.
5. Try Hootsuite for Even More Automation
Similar to Buffer, Hootsuite is another automation option for your social media platforms. Again, you need to be careful that the things you schedule to post are still relevant and appropriate when they actually post to your accounts, but with a bit of attention, Hootsuite can be an extremely helpful, time-saving tool. Additionally, Hootsuite allows you to actually respond to and interact with your audience right from the platform, making managing your social community that much easier for you.
6. Focus on Curating from Around the Internet
You don't have to write every single thing that you post on social media. In fact, you shouldn't. There's this little thing called the 80/20 rule when it comes to social media, meaning that 20% of the time you should be posting your own promotional content and 80% of the time you should be posting your own entertaining content or other people's content. That might sound a little bit crazy, but in reality, you don't want your social media account to be too promotional. Plus, posting other people's content saves you time in the long run (and might even gain you a friend or two in the process), so it's really a win-win.
Social media doesn't have to be a giant time suck in order to be effective – give these tips a try today and watch as your business' social media platforms start to take off!
