What are the main ethical challenges journalism is facing when embracing Social Media?February 8, 2011
Comments posted in our Facebook discussion group.
I agree with Sergi that although social media can provide leads, but info needs to be checked. Another point I've noticed is that people's tweets from months or years ago are sometimes used to try and weaken the perception of their character in articles. Tweets are easier to use out of context to try and make someone seem better or worse than you want. It's something we all need to be careful of when posting.
Amy Hall
I agree with Becs… it's a good way to find or follow a good story, but a journalist must alway check the information. I think that social media are the present and the future… My opinion is that journalists who works with social media are the working towards taking over old generations.

How journalists use social networkFebruary 8, 2011
Journalists are, by nature, crafty folk who are wonderfully adept at stalking — I mean, finding sources and relevant information for various and sundry stories. Well, the advent of social media has made the process of reporting all the more nuanced, and has served as a vital channel for everything from finding leads to contacting sources to sharing and furthering one's brand.
Still, as the Internet continues to expand, it can be difficult to pick and choose which tools are right for journalists — it can be daunting to litter one's desktop with Twitter applications, social networks, location-based tools and blogs.
Tools such as Face book and Twitter serve as excellent filters for the masses of information circulating on the web. Although many journalists swear by Twitter as a method of spotting and filtering out trends, Face book can also function as a vital reporting tool.
Journalists gather lot of information through these social networking sites. Much of the news would not have been possible even without these social sites.

What impact is social media having on journalists and journalism?January 26, 2011
In the traditional world the news organizations had to give out information, and people would consume it. But simply making information available is not enough for today's public. Today's audiences expect to be able to choose what they read, and most believe they should be able to contribute content and opinions, too. This shift is generally called the social media.
Basically social media use internet-and mobile-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings. It has not only benefited journalists but has also helped give individuals a way to speak up to the world.
More and more people prefer reading newspapers online due to the online version being global, free and around forever. If most of the consumers are on line, it is better to reach them online. Traditional media is slowly becoming history. Journalists are now making a good use of social media to engage their audience.

When the bird spreads its wingsJanuary 20, 2011
Before getting started with the topic I am doing research on (ethic and legal issues to bear in mind when using social media content in news coverage) I want to share with you all something I came across while surfing the Net.
Social Media currently play an important role. This is something that goes almost without saying. Nevertheless, the way they are used in democratic countries differs from that one in states ruled by authoritarian regimes, where social media are the voice of the people who protest, demonstrate or even take part in a revolution.

Early Sunday morning you can find many Jamaican families eating traditional ackee and saltfish, boiled green banana, bammy or breadfruit.
So what is bammy. Bammy is a type of flatbread made from cassava. The native Arawak Indians (Jamaica's original inhabitants) used these in many of their meals. When wheat flour began importation into Jamaica many Jamaicans got away from using this as a staple in their diet.
It is reported that the United Nations and the Jamaican government established a program to revive bammy production. It is now marketed as a modern accessible food product.
How to make bammy?
- grate cassava (or you can find it grated in many stores and sold frozen)
- place the grated cassava in cheese cloth or muslin cloth and drain the liquid into a container and add salt.
- Then gather cassava and press about one cup into a greased frying pan
- Cook over moderate heat, turn when the edges shrink (about 10 minutes)
- Soak the bammies in coconut milk for about 5 minutes until they absorb the mixture
- put more oil in the frying pan , let it get to frying temperature and fry until light brown

Things To Look For When Choosing A Family Doctor
There are many health care providers available in a given area. Searching for Family Physicians in Wichita Kansas is not a difficult task. However, there are a few things to consider when doing this. Such areas include their bedside manners, knowledge, services offered and their level of experience. Family Physicians in Wichita Kansas know the importance of referrals and strive to do their best when it comes to patient care.
Different Aspects To Look For When Choosing A Family Physician
As stated above, there are many health care professionals that sometimes it can be rather intimidating choosing one. However, that does not have to be the case. People that are looking for a new doctor should make a list of everything that is important to them when it comes to the health-care provider. For example, accepting the patient' insurance is probably one that is on top of the list. That list should then include the ease in which doctor talks and explains things to their patients, the average wait time to be seen by that doctor, services and different exams the office offers and much more. It is always a good idea to set up an appointment to visit the office and meet the doctor. This way, all the questions can be answered, as well as getting a feel for the office, staff and the doctor.
Online Research Can Save A Lot Of Time
It is always a good idea to do some online research regarding a practice of interest. Simply type in the name and Click here to read all about the office, the practicing physicians and the staff. An online search will also provide different reviews from other patients, as well as give you value able information such as different insurance companies they take, whether or not they are accepting new patients, and so on.
Find a family physician that you feel very comfortable with. Someone that can easily explain medical terminology, is kind and patient as well. Physicians are here to diagnose and treat any ailments one may have. Feeling comfortable with a physician definitely helps out during the whole process.

Hello All,
I read a previous post that talked about peat tea water (peat wrapped in cloth and steeped in water) put into the pots of CPs. Is that a good practice? How is it beneficial/harmful? Is it ever possible for the "soil" to become too acidic?
I also read somewhere that it's good to place a thin layer of sphagnum moss over the peat soil. What is better, live or dried moss? If dried moss is used will it ever decay there by affecting a CP in a negative way?
Thank you for reading this, I would appreciate any and all answers to my question. Traphole8)

MAY 2015 – The uber-cool, super-hip guy (who is about to become a dad!) gets the groove going all over the city. We tapped Roan to compile a chill disco playlist to get your summer going – and asked him a few questions to boot.
CAA: What does summer in Chicago mean to you?
DJ Matt Roan: Summer in Chicago is all about eating outside, riding bikes to the lake, rooftop parties and seeing all your favorite bands. It's truly a summer city.
CAA: Why did you pick this mix of music?
DJMR: This is the newer stuff I've been listening to lately and I wanted to put a lot of fresh tunes together for you. I've been diligent about listening and buying a lot of new music lately and these are some of the gems. They are all related a bit sonically too, which is nice.
CAA: What was the vibe you were going for in creating this playlist?
DJMR: Seeing as summer is right around the corner, that's really what I had in mind. There are a lot of vibe-y, funky, disco flavored tunes that are all at a mellow tempo and make you want to nod your head. I think it would be really nice for a house party or out at the beach.
CAA: What's your favorite summer cocktail — and why?
DJMR: I love margaritas. They are simple, potent and delicious. Anyone can make one and they are usually great. Plus, they are also easily batched for parties. If you come thru with a pitcher or two of those … you're a hero!
CAA: You're about to become a dad. Is there a song that sums up that feeling for you?
DJMR: The first thing that comes to mind is The Ark's tune, "Father of a Son," but since I'm having a baby girl and I'm not a gay man … it doesn't quite fit the bill. Highly recommended though! It feels like "When My Baby's Beside Me" by Big Star really gets it. As long as my wife and I are in it together, we'll be all right!

I'm a longtime fan of the Wall Street Journal. But I confess to mystification over why a paper with a staunchly pro-Israel editorial line consistently allows its news pages to be used for anti-Israel smear campaigns–and I do mean smear campaigns, not just "critical reporting." A classic example was its assertion in an April 7 news report that Israel had agreed "to release political prisoners" as part of the U.S.-brokered deal that restarted Israeli-Palestinian talks last summer. The Journal was sufficiently embarrassed by this description of convicted mass murderers that it issued a correction in print, yet the online version still unrepentantly dubs these vicious terrorists "political prisoners."
A more subtle example was last week's report titled "On Middle East Visit, Pope Will Find a Diminished Christian Population." While Israel is the glaring exception to this Mideast trend, reporter Nicholas Casey elegantly implies the opposite in a single sentence that's dishonest on at least three different levels: "Syria has seen an exodus of nearly half a million Christians, and in Jerusalem, a population of 27,000 Christians in 1948 has dwindled to 5,000."
First, while Casey never says explicitly that Jerusalem's shrinking Christian population reflects the situation in Israel as a whole, it's the obvious conclusion for the average reader–especially given the juxtaposition with Syria, which implies that both countries are treating their Christians similarly and thereby causing them to flee. This impression is reinforced by the only other statistic he gives about Israel: that Christians have declined as a percentage of the total population.
The truth, however, is that Israel's Christian population has grown dramatically–from a mere 34,000 in 1949 to 158,000 in 2012, according to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics. That's an increase of almost fivefold. And while Christians have fallen as a share of the total population, that's mainly because they have significantly lower birthrates than either Israeli Jews or Israeli Muslims.
Second, even his statistics on Jerusalem are dubious. Since he doesn't source them, it's not clear how Casey arrived at his figure of only 5,000 Christians nowadays. But the most recent figure published by Israel's internationally respected statistics bureau, in 2013, put the city's Christian population at 14,700 as of the end of 2011. It is, to say the least, highly unlikely that after remaining stable at about that level for 44 years (more on that in a moment)–decades punctuated by repeated wars, vicious terrorism and deep recessions–the Christian population would suddenly plunge by two thirds in a mere two years at a time of strong economic growth and very little terror.
Third, while Jerusalem's Christian population has undeniably plummeted since 1948 even according to Israel's statistics, Casey neglects to mention one very salient point: The entirety of that decline took place during the 19 years when East Jerusalem–where most of the city's Christians live–was controlled by Jordan rather than Israel. By 1967, when Israel reunited the city, Jerusalem's Christian population had fallen by more than half, to just 12,646, from Casey's 1948 figure (which does roughly match other available sources). Since then, it has actually edged upward, to 14,700.
Throw in the de rigueur innuendos that the Palestinian Authority's declining Christian population is mainly Israel's fault, and Casey's verbal Photoshop job is complete: The one country in the Middle East whose Christian population is growing and thriving–a fact increasingly acknowledged by Israeli Christians themselves–has been successfully repackaged to the average reader as a vicious persecutor that is driving its Christians out.

Hello, I am looking for some assistance on my friends family line. The person I am researching is Ersilia Notarianni born Dec. 1924 /mother's maiden name Rossi. I do know that there are many many people in that bloodline in Valvori...but I have come up empty when trying to figure out her actual birth parents names. I believe she had a brother or cousin Giuseppe that lived until the 80's. And another possible sister is Antonietta who married Enrico Di Mascio of Ipswich, Suffolk. Giuseppe, I believe was a tax collector in Monte Cassino many years back. He made his own wine and owned a bar/restaurant in town that everyone would eat and then in the evenings clear out and move the tables in the street to play cards into the night. He may have a spouse or child named Alga? Any information or leads would be a tremendous help!!!

Hi! I was born and raised in Philadelphia as were my father, Albert, and his brother, Vincent (both now deceased). Their mother's family included Raymond, Walter, Pauline, Angelo and Maria. I have no idea when when they came to the U.S. -- probably around 1900. If any of those names sound familiar, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Otherwise, best wishes to the broad DiMascio family, whoever and wherever you are!

In reply to M.
I posted that I was proud that my dad was born in Valvori and I feel legitimated in many ways. Personal reasons moved me in to feeling the need to say that, dad did achieve things in life through abnegation and sacrifice thus is the beacon of my life.
Do you still feel the need to criticize me by saying that one shouldnt feel pride in where one is born but what one has achieved? Suffice to say I think not.

Hi guys. I'm doing a project for university about my family Rossi's that came over to England before the 2nd world war and opened ice cream parlors. I'd like to speak to anyone who is a part of the family. There seems to be a lot of different Rossi's who set up ice cream places in the UK but I'm trying to specifically trace my family from Valvori. the Rossi's first names were, Jack, Rita, Andy, Sam, Laura. I'd be grateful if anyone could help!

To Paul Fella. Hey Paul, just looked at the photograph of the Rossi family that you posted (photo dated 1929). R you related to the Rossi family. That's my mums family, her name was Lidia Rossi (she passed away last year). Her sisters are Anna, Maria, both still living in Valvori and her sister Guilia is living in Margate. Haven't visited Valvori for over 25 years, would love to get in touch with some of the family again.

Hi everyone
My parents (Teresina now 95 years old and Vincenzo Rodi deceased) were from Vallerotonda and I was born there. My mother's maiden name was Notarianni, if you have any information connected with this family please share it with me. My grandfather was Angelo Rodi but I don't know anything more about him ie whether he had any brothers or sisters. If you know anything about his family please let me know. I now live in South East England as my parents and I moved here in around 1938 if that helps.
Hope someone out there can help fill in the gaps.

Last May I asked for any info on my great grandparents Di Mascio & Verrecchia from Vallerotonda.. so this month we went to find out more!
We did a lot of hunting and asking, found too many confusing graves in Cardito - lots of those killed in the massacre of 28th December 1943 were Di Mascio's (26 out of 42) and no Verrecchia families in Atina (despite old family rumours!)
we are keeping looking, Valvori was lovely, but my wife now wants to buy somewhere in Picinisco!!
If anyone has info on Welsh Di Mascio's I'd like to hear from them. Many thanks.

Hi everyone!!! This is so interesting I just started researching DiMascio and i've found all this stuff. I saw a post a while ago from a DiMascio who emigrated to Boston from Petterano Sul Gizio. That's where my dad and aunt were born and we also live in the Boston area. I'm going to Italy for the first time ever this summer and hoping to find some DiMascio's that may be distant relatives. I can't wait!

My great grandfather was Pasquale di Mascio who treavelled through Europe to UK with (I think) his wife Julia/or Theresa. On the way they gave birth to Julia di Mascio in France. Pasquale was a street organ player and they setled in London. Julia was my nona and I decided to take the di Mascio name after 2 divorces. I have never been to Valvori but I would love to, maybe some of you are my distant cousins. I love the website.

Io e mio cugino Matthew andiamo a Valvori agosto. Io sono il figlio di John Rossi e mio cugino e' il figlio di Natalino. Io e mio cugino siamo i nipoti di Antonio Rossi e Ida Gallone, valvoresi veri. Soggiorniamo per circa 12 giorni nel paese.
Speriamo di visitare i nostri parenti che vivono la', come Gianluca, il nostro cugino. E vorremmo andare a Roma (so che ci saranno milioni di persone ma la citta' mi piace
) e le spiaggie, forse di Gaeta.

My Great Grandparents were Christina and Felice DiMascio, and my Grandparents were Lucia and Fiorintino DiMascio. I am the daughter of Annina DiMascio (Married name Turanski), and my second cousins are Remo, Idilo and Leonardo Fella, and Silvio DiMascio.
See you all soon!

Always good to hear of a fellow DiMascio. I don't think we have any recent relations as my family hails from Pettorano Sul Gizio a small village outside Sulmona. Much of my family emigrated to the Boston, Massachusetts (USA) area in the middle of the 20th century and that is where I live. Great site and all the best to you and your family.

Andrew Coulson
Hello from Yorkshire!
I am trying to trace my family; great-grand father was Fillipo Di Mascio (from Valleroronda), married Maria Giuseppa Verrecchia (thought to be from Atina) around 1897/8 and lived in Cardito di Vallerotonda. My grandmother Christina Di Mascio was born there but the family emigrated to Wales in early 1900's. (Where Fillipo ran an ice cream business in summer and roast chestnuts in winter!)
Does anyone in Valleroronda/ Cardito/ Atina have links or know of this branch of the family?
Many thanks for the site and the help!

What a really nice surprise coming accross this website. My mum is from Valvori. Most of her family still live there although unfortunately we have no contact. Her sisters are Maria and Anna and I see a mention of Teddy's bar, I believe this maybe my mums cousin. My cousin Dorina and hubby Adrianne also get a mention, I spent most of my summer holidays as a youngster visiting them in Coventry before they went back to Italy. Would love to hear from family in Valvori, especially my cousin Gabriella. My mum Lidia lives in Scotland and my brothers are Alex, John, Marc and a sister Anne-Marie. We are all married with kids now and would love for them to know all their cousins and extended family.

Anthony Valente
My family originated from the villages of San Antonino and San Michele near Cassino. They settled in Sunderland and South Shields, UK, at the turn of the century (20th). I know we have married into Notarianni family and I also recall my father (Ernesto) talk about the Fellas (nicely). We moved to Weymouth, Dorset, UK circa 1946. My brother is named Michael. My sisters are Chris, Teresa, Anita and Maria. My mother was called Maria Civita. Is there anybody out there in cyberspace that knows us? I visited Valvori once as a callow youth and remember it fondly. I return to the Cassino area whenever I can, but it's a long haul from Texas.

Hollywood Helps China Set Up National Surveillance And Censorship System To Tackle Copyright Infringement
from the how-long-before-the-MPAA-asks-for-the-same-in-the-US? dept
The Copyright Society of China has just launched a new site, called the 12426 Copyright Monitoring Center, whose job is to scan the entire Chinese Internet for evidence of copyright infringement. As a post on the EFF site explains, its scope is incredibly wide:
This frightening panopticon is said to be able to monitor video, music and images found on "mainstream audio and video sites and graphic portals, small and medium vertical websites, community platforms, cloud and P2P sites, SmartTV, external set-top boxes, aggregation apps, and so on."
Quite how it manages to monitor SmartTVs and external set-top boxes in people's homes is not clear, but the fact that it even claims to be searching them is pretty worrying, since it may be true.
When it finds content that matches material submitted to it by a copyright holder, the Center provides them with a streamlined notification and takedown machine, from the issuance of warning notices through to the provision of mediation services.
Complementary to that "streamlined" search and takedown system, the Center's technology provider offers a preemptive platform filtering solution:
The Content Filtering System automatically matches, retrieves, de-emphasizes, and automatically alerts or filters content related to copyrighted content or content in violation, by means of content matching technology; thereby it reduces the labor costs and the potential risk of content infringement. It can be applied to cloud disks and all kind of platforms including music, video, pictures, literature and other media contents.
Of course, such automatic filtering systems can't encompass all the subtleties of copyright law, and inevitably take a very crude approach that generally amounts to "when in doubt, block". Once in place, they can also easily be extended, for example to "content in violation", as here. The Chinese system comes from the company First Brave, which claims to be the "world's leading copyright monitoring and distribution service provider". That's probably just the usual hyperbole at the moment, but it's not impossible that it could become true as a result of moves in the EU.
There the main copyright legislation is being updated, supposedly to make it fit for the digital world. And yet, alongside the ridiculous snippet tax, which would create a new ancillary copyright for newspaper publishers (as if they needed any more monopolies), there is an even more dangerous proposal to require major online platforms to filter all user uploads before posting them. That's very similar to the Chinese content filtering system -- good news for First Brave -- and would be just as toxic to freedom of expression and privacy.
The Chinese upload filtering system on its own would be bad enough, but coupled with a similar requirement in the EU, it would pose a real threat in the US too. The copyright industry would doubtless claim that since it is being done everywhere else, there is no reason why Internet platforms should not roll out the same system in the US.
The head of the MPAA, Chris Dodd, used exactly this argument back in 2011 to call for online censorship in the name of reducing copyright infringement. It's noteworthy that two of the six major Hollywood studios that make up the MPAA, 21st Century Fox and Warner Bros., are listed at the bottom of the 12426 Copyright Monitoring Center's home page as partners in the new venture. Once the service has been up and running for a while, we can expect breathless reports from the MPAA on how well the surveillance and censorship system is working in China, along with yet more demands that something similar be set up in the US.

SAMI HYYPIA admitted Liverpool were outclassed by Barcelona, but warned there's a lot more to play for in this season's Champions' League.
The 3-1 defeat leaves the Reds bottom of Group B after one game, but Hyypia isn't writing off Liverpool's hopes yet.
"I said before the game Barcelona are one of the best teams in Europe and they proved it," said the Finnish defender.
"We didn't perform as well as we can, but we had chances. Emile had a chance in the first half which was cleared off the line and so did Michael when it was still 1-1.
"I thought we started the game okay, scored a good goal and we were good at times in the first half. When they scored just before half time it changed the game and they were very good in the second half. We were outclassed.
"When they are leading they are very good at keeping the ball and we couldn't get a grip of it. We have to learn how to play against teams who hold onto it like that, and I think we should have pushed them back a bit more."
Liverpool now face a formidable task to qualify. They play Roma in two weeks' time in the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
The Italians, like Barcelona, will be motivated by the pursuit of revenge for last season's UEFA Cup exit. Roma drew 1-1 away to Galatasaray last night.
Hyypia is confident the Reds can still qualify.
He said: "It's not over yet. We still have five games to play and there are 15 points to play for. The best way for us to bounce back now is to beat Sunderland this weekend."
Midfielder Gary McAllister added: "They were excellent. We knew they were a very good team and they proved it.
"We lost a goal at a bad time. I felt their first one might have been offside but I haven't seen the television coverage yet. From their point of view, though, it was a cracking goal. Possession is the main part of this game and their ability to keep hold of the ball was frightening at times.
"Roma and Galatasaray drawing was a good result for us. At this stage last season Leeds took a beating from Real Madrid at home and still went on to qualify. We cannot be too disheartened."

China Educational Trust Awards Great Britain in UK, 2017/2018
China Educational Trust Awards Great Britain in UK, 2017/2018
The Great Britain-China Educational Trust (GBCET) is offering Educational Awards for studying PhD programme and Chinese language (spoken or written).
The Embassy of Great Britain and China is a registered charity (No. 269944) administered by the Center of Great Britain and China. The Trust was founded in 1975 with the proceeds of The Genius of China, which took place in 1974 at the Royal Academy.
Course Level: Awards are available for studying PhD programme and Chinese language (spoken or written).
Study Subject: Awards are available to study the subjects offered by the university.
Scholarship Award:
Chinese Students Awards: Awards are granted up to £3,000 but the most common amount awarded is between £1,500-£2,000.
Chinese Language Awards: Awards are granted normally up to £2,000 each.
Scholarship can be taken in the UK
Chinese Students Awards:
- Chinese nationality (from the PRC inc. Hong Kong) studying for a PhD in any subject at a UK university. Students must have started their third year before they are eligible to submit their application.
- Students may apply twice for the award, but must wait a year before trying again. Successful awardees cannot apply again. Awards are not renewable.
Chinese Language Awards
- British nationality postgraduate students (in any subject) who are normally resident in the UK and enrolled in a British university.
- Candidates must be seeking funding for the study of the Chinese language (spoken or written) as a taught element of their degree OR for Chinese language training which is not built in to their degree but which would aid their research, e.g. PhD courses. In the latter case, funding is considered for British PhD students giving conference papers in China, or travelling to China to pursue essential doctoral research.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has become the premiere conference for all things electronics, what with the demise of Comdex and other industry oriented shows. And startups will be featured at CES 2013 in the Eureka Park for which the CEA is running a contest to give away free booth space next month. Don't miss out--entries are free, and even if you don't win your entry is likely to garner publicity at next month's CEA Line Shows conference in NYC: R. Colin Johnson
Here is what EETimes says about the Eureka Park Challenge: Innovation is driving U.S. competitiveness, especially in the consumer electronics segment, according to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), which next month will sponsor the Eureka Park Challenge contest for a free exhibit space at next year's Consumer Electronics Show, according Brian Markwalter, senior vice president of research and standards for the CEA.
The CES sponsoring organization, the CEA, has for 75 years been producing consumer standards referenced by the EPA, FCC and other government agencies which are adhered to by millions of electronic devices. Markwalter oversees the CEA's American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited standards development operation, which spends about $1 million annually doing extensive market research to track sales data and to forecast trends related to digital television, broadband access, spectrum management, intellectual property (IP), smart grid and energy efficiency.
Markwalter was previously director of Intellon Corp. (acquired by Atheros in 2009), the semiconductor specialist in power-line communications where he helped launch the HomePlug Powerline Alliance for networking over residential power lines. Markwalter is currently also a board member of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Smart Grid Interoperability Governing Panel.
According to Markwalter, innovation is the engine driving the rise of small businesses which are creating new jobs in the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. The CEA is doing its part to incubate startups by encouraging innovation.
The consumer electronics industry today is breaking the $200 billion mark in U.S., according to the CEA, which next month will sponsor the Eureka Park Challenge which will give away free exhibit space at CES 2013 to the winner..
To enter the Eureka Park Challenge contest, startups need to submit a never-been-seen-before product, service or app to WizeHive's online contest manager. Ten finalists will be selected to compete for a free booth at the CES 2013. The winner will be announced at the CEA Line Shows (New York City, June 27-28, 2012).

3 Trademarks of Humility and Why God Desires Its
Have you looked back at your former self and thought "Wow, my attitude just sucked."
The last 2 seasons have been testy (is that even a word?). Pretend I am a microphone and God's finger tapping it, saying "Test. Test. Test Mic 1-2-3." If I were a microphone I sure did not enjoy the tapping.
God was not only testing my faith, He was testing my patience, my leadership, and my attitude.
Recently, I went to a 2 day retreat called "Bow to the Lord," to receive more revelation of where I was going with my life. Not too shockingly, I did not receive revelation, but simply an attitude adjustment. There was a problem with my attitude. I wasn't willing to look forward and see good things since my heart was not in the right frame of mind.
Immediately, realizing the toxicity of my thoughts, I went into repentance and asked God to forgive my bitterness. I did not just want more of Jesus in me… I needed it.
"Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you." James 4:10
Jesus was the most humble man on earth, and when I think of people who most reflect who He is, I think of humility. In the face of trial, God desires us to have humility because it brings us through trying times with an utmost peace.
Humility has these 3 trademarks, which breaks us from the pride and releases us into a freedom God wants us to strive towards.
1.) Having Humility Makes us Teachable.
I notice when I'm not blocked by my own judgment or preconceived notions of how things should be, I become a student of God's wisdom and knowledge – whether it be received through the Bible or other people.
2.) Humility Opens our Hearts
It opens us to what God has to offer. I become open to ideas, people, places, and things He has placed before me. I become approachable to other people. Humility naturally causes me to see people the way God sees them.
3.) Humility Makes Us Grateful.
And being a whiner/complainer is the total opposite of a grateful attitude. Thankfulness forces me to appreciate what I already have instead of wishing on what I don't have. Ultimately, gratefulness forces me to see the big picture and realize I could have it a lot worse.
"He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD." Deuteronomy 8:3
Is there anything in your life you feel I can pray for you today? What could it be? What are some areas of your life you feel you could use more humility? I would love to hear about it!

The world energy industry is suddenly transforming into something very different from the industry we have grown accustomed to over the past decades. In those previous decades, it was pump and burn more oil, mine and burn more coal and build more coal-fired burners to produce electricity. More, more and more smoke — that is!
Anti-nuclear protesters were a constant feature in the press anywhere a reactor was considered, built or commissioned into use. Urban residents held irregular anti-smog protests outside of City Hall in large cities like LA and Tokyo.
Small-scale and large wars, were fought over control of the world's oil and gas fields — sometimes affecting the very economic health of those nations.
Welcome to 2013. The world is still reeling from President Barack Obama's decision to wean America completely off of foreign oil, he also ordered oil and gas production to be dramatically ramped up in the U.S.A. – and he decided to make his country a net oil exporter of oil and gas. Not just any-old net exporter mind you, but the world's number one exporter of both oil and gas by 2017! That's in four years.
Heady stuff for a normally ambivalent world.
Remember back in February of 2006, when then-President George W. Bush famously stated in his State of the Union speech that "America is addicted to oil." That of course, is true. The U.S.A. and the other industrialized nations wouldn't survive without oil as the entire Western economy is based on petroleum and the products made from it. From transportation and energy fuels, to plastics, medicines, agricultural fertilizers, residential and commercial buildings – virtually everything we live in, drive, wear, buy or use, is a product or by-product of petroleum.
Both Presidents — Obama and Bush, foresaw the importance of lowering overall energy use to improve the health and quality of life for American citizens, to lower international tensions by sourcing oil and gas domestically and to invest in clean technology to improve conservation and efficiency.
It turns out that conservation, green energy and domestic energy extraction is not a Democrat or Republican thing — it's a leadership thing. And all over the world, it is catching on. Welcome to 2013, indeed!

Welcome to the year end Razzball Awards! Unlike the ESPYs, you won't have to wear a tux or listen to Derek Jeter try to be funny. Speaking of Viagra — Vlad's got one good leg and he's not wearing a shoe on it. Nope, for these awards, all you need to do is read. How novel! Anyway, here's The 2009 Razzball Year End Awards:
Fantasy AL Most Valuable Player – There's two hitters from the AL in the top ten on the ESPN Player Rater. Crawford at 4 and Ellsbury at 6. The next AL hitter is Derek Jeter. Can we punt the AL hitters award this year? Wait, I know! Let's give it to a pitcher! Zack Greinke, you're the Razzball AL Fantasy MVP, how does it feel? "If I don't find out who the mother is on How I Met Your Mother by next spring training, I'm going to lose my shizz." Thanks for coming, Zack! You're the belle of the Razzballies!
Fantasy NL Most Valuable Player – If a no-brainer is my specialty, this one's easy. Albert Pujols.
Fantasy AL Cy Young – If Kansas City were a major market, we'd be getting an ESPN movie of the week this winter about Zack Greinke starring Macaulay Culkin.
Fantasy NL Cy Young – Tim Lincecum, but this is pretty close with Javier Vazquez, Dan Haren, Wainwright and Carpenter. Crazy that those last four guys could've been had in any league. That would've made for a nice team if you had all four. Well, Lincecum gets the nod because he's 145 lbs. Those things matter for the Razzballies.
Fantasy AL Least Valuable Player – Grady Sizemore really wanted this award. He even sat out September in his bid to suck. But Josh Hamilton started sucking in April. That's a tough act to follow, mostly because of the stench.
Fantasy NL Least Valuable Player – The winner is Jose Reyes. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it to the awards ceremony because he's getting in "game shape."
Special Lifetime Achievement Award That Is Only A Reflection Of This Season And Not Of A Lifetime – Mark Reynolds, because he needed his own award. Thank you, Mini Donkey. You made everyone else look like Mini Jackasses.
Fantasy Hitter You Most Likely Dropped and Picked Up A Dozen Times – And the Razzballie goes to Clint Barmes. He's starting, but not hitting, I'm dropping him. He's starting and hitting, I'm picking him up. He's hitting but not playing, I'm dropping him. He's hitting and playing… Do I drop him or pick him up? Forget it, I'm dropping him. Wait, he's not even on my team. Ugh!
Player You Had Forever and Most Wanted to Drop – Felipe Lopez. Every time I came close to cutting the Fe-Lopezian tubes, he went 1-for-3 with a Run. If I see one more 1-for-3 with a Run, I'm going to vomit.
Player On The Top Of Your Waivers That You Just Couldn't Bring Yourself to Pick Up – Michael Cuddyer. Cuddyer's boring! I'll stick with the rotating Bowden Fluffer turnstile of Delmon Young, Milledge, Dukes and Cameron Maybin.
Pitcher You Streamed So Much You Ended Up Owning Him – Bronson Arroyo. Now don't get any pine tar on your award! A close runner-up was Joe Blanton.
Player You Were Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop From, But Thankfully It Never Did – Matt Cain. If regressing to the norm is a 3.50 2nd half ERA, I'll take it any day of the week and twice on Muesday.
Player You Were Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop From and It Ended Up Kicking You in the Groin – Johnny Cueto. Regressing doesn't have to mean a flippin' 8 ERA!
Player You Were Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop From and When It Did You Were Okay With It – Ben Zobrist. Sure, his 2nd half wasn't as good as his 1st half, but you weren't actually embarrassed to own Ben Zobrist. Tell me you saw that coming in February and I have a column for you to write called, "I'm a lying sack of shizz."
Player You Traded Away That You Most Regretted – Grey seems like a good guy, but there's no way Mark Reynolds is going to keep this up.
Player You Traded For That You Most Regretted – I just traded a poor-April Verlander and Mark Reynolds for David Wright! I'm so money and you snitches are so green!
Best Roofie Pitcher – Three way tie with J.A. Happ, Randy Wells and Brett Anderson.
Best Jockular Sphincteritis – Adrian Beltre with his cracked nuts.
Top Cuddle Boy – Ryan Madson. Our closer is terrible, yet we can't reliably turn to our set-up man.
Top SAGNOF – Michael Bourn/Andrew Bailey (tie)
Player Who "Pulled A Kotchman" – Carlos Beltran. How long can someone nurse an injury that's "not that serious?"
Remember That Feeling You Had When You Walked In On Your Parents Having Sex, This Pitcher Gave You That Feeling Every Fifth Day – Francisco Liriano

Wi-Fi Articles:
Check out the brand new No Strings Attached Show (NSAShow) podcast for Wi-Fi professionals! It's an independent podcast created to focus on Wi-Fi industry topics. We hope you enjoy it!
E01 – How to Become an RF Whisperer: "Welcome to episode 1 of the NSA Show Podcast! In this episode we take a look at some of the software tools used by some of the top Wireless engineers on a day to day basis."WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is severely compromised due to weaknesses in protocol design.
Researchers publish open-source tool for hacking WiFi Protected Setup: "On December 27, the Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued a warning about a vulnerability in wireless routers that use WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) to allow new devices to be connected to them. Within a day of the discovery, researchers at a Maryland-based computer security firm developed a tool that exploits that vulnerability, and has made a version available as open source."
This impacts SOHO and consumer use and should not be of concern for most enterprises. I'm baffled why WPS would be used instead of a standard WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK); the only reason I can conjure is that WPS doesn't require router setup of any kind by the user, which is probably simpler for some technically illiterate users. There is some raw data on the scope of potential impact (26.3% estimated) based on public wardriving data collected by Dan Kaminsky and WIGLE. An exploit tool is in the wild, having been quietly worked on by Tactical Network Solutions for over a year. WPS PINs can be cracked in 4-10 hours folks!White-space Wi-Fi, now approved (in one city, at least)!
Also read the detailed paper submitted to CERT. Home users should disable WPS if possible. A demo is available by Dan over at NCI.
Wireless CCIE, here I come!: White Spaces - new wireless space launched: "KTS Wireless is the first manufacturer of a wireless device to take advantage of the white spaces spectrum re-allocation for wireless communications. They have participated in city wide trials of white space usage in Claudeville, VA and Wilmington, NC."
More info is available over at Ars Technica and Engadget.There are so many Wi-Fi predictions for 2012, but I like this one the best!
Ruckus Wireless Wi-Fi predictions for 2012: "Wi-Fi capacity will become just as important an issue as Wi-Fi coverage in 2012 and service providers will have to deploy Wi-Fi networks with the bandwidth to cope with highly populated and dense environments"
Also check out these Wi-Fi predictions by PC Magazine (consumer focused), and inversely a list of things in tech that won't change in 2012 by GigaOm (I personally like #10 - The MacBook Air is what you get, and you'll like it!).Wi-Fi offload will be most successful with user-controlled Wi-Fi offload preferences (not carrier controlled)!
Kineto looks to broaden potential of Wi-Fi off-load: "The potentially more compelling new feature is Smart Offload,which allows carriers and end users to choose and prioritize traffic to be off-loaded to Wi-Fi according to the whether the hotspot they are off-loading to is public or private. That feature could help carriers and users avoid the off-loading of especially sensitive traffic to public hotspots where inconsistent performance may be encountered,while letting them automatically off-load all of their traffic when logged on to a reliable private hotspot."
Most of the discussion about carrier offload focuses on data traffic and so-called "seamless" offload which implies automatic connection control by the carrier. I think that is the wrong approach, as most Wi-Fi networks are private and connections should be visible and controlled by the end-user while maintaining ease of use through persistent preference settings in the device. Offload of voice, messaging, and RCS services could also provide a more compelling offload proposition for users, especially where cellular coverage is spotty even for voice calls.DHCP has bigger implications on the performance and security of wireless LANs than you might expect. Find out why by reading this great blog post by Marcus Burton over at CWNP.
DHCP for Wireless LAN Clients: "poor DHCP planning for your network could have a significant impact on WLAN service availability. For that reason, and for troubleshooting problems that will inevitably arise, any WLAN engineer should know the three primary ways to manage DHCP in a WLAN: bridging, relay, and proxy. We spend a lot of time and energy improving our RF environments; it would be a real shame to let DHCP ruin client connectivity."This has to be a first of some sort! Kuala-Lumpur is mandating Wi-Fi access in some city food courts. Operators must comply by April!
Eateries to offer Wi-Fi service in April: "THE requirement for restaurants and eateries in the city centre to be Wi-Fi ready will be enforced by City Hall as early as April."Also in the "weird news" category, Japanese vending machines now offer free Wi-Fi hotspots. Japan always takes gadget-craze to a whole new level!
Japanese vending machine doubles as WiFi hotspot -- no purchase required: "Japanese company Asahi has just unveiled an advanced dispenser that's capable of doubling as a WiFi hotspot, so good luck getting through the mobs of leechers just to buy a soda. The machine sends out the internet waves free of charge and covers about 164 feet around it"IT Industry Articles:
What should a healthy partnership between a vendor and a VAR look like? Here's one VAR perspective on the challenges and some potential solutions by Matthew Norwood.
You Never Mentioned Me To The Client: "How bad do you want people to sell your product? If you put all of the load on the partner or distributor, with minimal contribution from the vendor side, don't expect to get mentioned to clients. That's not a partnership. It's a pyramid scheme."A true look at spectrum holdings by the major U.S. cellular carriers is eye-opening! Verizon has a definitive advantage over AT&T. Clearwire is also in a good position if it can bring a solid solution to market.
Meet the spectrum bosses: "While AT&T was distracted trying to buy T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless quietly negotiated deals with the cable providers to buy up their unused SpectrumCo 4G licenses. The Yankee Group has prepared a nifty graphic that details the current spectrum holdings of the big boys in the top 10 markets as well as what Verizon could gain by buying up the cable operators licenses"Michael Mace at Mobile Opportunity explains the real reason why WebOS failed: lack of a killer feature. Sure there were performance problems and some bugs, but that's normal for new operating system. It needed more time and patience to work out those bugs. But HP jumped ship too soon, and Palm never gave consumers enough reason to pick up the platform in the first place.
Mobile Opportunity: Why Web OS Really Failed, and What it Means for the Rest of Us: "Palm was not rich enough and HP was not patient enough to keep investing after the first versions showed a lot of flaws. And more importantly, there was nothing compelling enough about either product to make people buy it despite those flaws."Other Articles:
On the personal improvement, self-actualization front, read this list of 30 things you should STOP doing. There are so many good points in this article, that I won't call out any in particular. Just go read it!
30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself: "As Maria Robinson once said, "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." Nothing could be closer to the truth. But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back."On the lighter side, I absolutely LOVE this!
John Lennon's Imagine – WiFi VersionComic for the Week:
"Imagine there's no interference
Clients with neg 60 RSSI
No wireless baby cameras
No end users with MiFi
Imagine all the mobile devices, supporting 11a"
Siri strikes again!
Cheers (and happy reading)!

The only players he has losing records to are MMF, Kris Perovic, and God. Morphing Jar aka Big P invented Chaos Recruiter in 2017 when he swept a DGz Top 4 team's squad. I heard that Hibernation aka Morphing Jar aka Brybry aka Mustang plays 4 spirits. Mustang aka Dewloren, Tiger King of Goats set the DGz Elo record in Goats at 155. This record has only ever been broken by MMF at 161. Big P aka Morphing Jar is not here right now, but his spirit exists in all of us. He is out doing sniping for the NHL and hitting the gym for sick gains. Dubai, otherwise known as Big P, who is the same person as Morphing Jar, was cheated by Chris Borovanch in the Summer 2017 DGz War League. Kristolph Beravinth cheated Big P and did Morphing Jar and Mustang dirty. Morphing Jar wins a lot of games with Mobius the Frost Monarch. Morphing Jar only uses Linux. The FuZe Gang was founded in the honor of Morphing Jar's legacy aka Big P aka Mustang aka Brybry. Thank You, Big P. Clue #2 january 11th 1997 deep in the woods of sassscachafuck a frail woman crawled to an empty cave bearing a gift for the elder bears of the forrest.

More precisely, we study the structure and function of several proteins involved in the synthesis, stability, and degradation of bioplastics such as the PhaF phasin from Pseudomonas putida. Furthermore, we are applying our expertise to immobilize various proteins of biomedical and industrial relevance by using these plastics as sustainable media.- Design of peptides or organic compounds capable of inhibiting assembly of the protein that forms the HIV-1 capsid. This line is based on structural characterization of involved proteins, as well as kinetic and thermodynamic characterization of the interactions in each system, and is oriented towards rational design of inhibitors of the dimerization of the HIV-1 capsid as a means to inhibit the virus's viability.- Development of new antibiotics based on phosphorylation routes in bacteria. This line is based on structural characterization of involved proteins, as well as kinetic and thermodynamic characterization of the interactions in each system, and is oriented towards rational design of proteins, peptides, or miniproteins capable of inhibiting the phosphorylation system of sugars starting with phosphoenolpyruvate (PTS route).- Design, synthesis, and characterization of new fluorescent and multifunctional conjugated polymeric materials. Such new materials are based on the design of conjugated polymers that incorporate fluorene rings, which permit controlling and modifying their properties, e.g., generating polyelectrolytes by incorporating ionic groups that favor their solubility in water, and improving the processing of materials at the surface, modifying the functional groups that play a specific and unique role. All this to be employed as new nanostructured materials, such as nanofibers or nanoparticles, in biotechnological applications like bioimaging, drug release, clinical diagnostics, and sensory devices for biomolecules. Moreover, the applications of these polymers can be extended as therapeutic platforms, from their effect as photosensitizers in dynamic phototherapy to their behavior as tracers of biomacromolecules in cell systems.- Development of fluorescent materials with applications in biological systems. Specifically, work is ongoing on the design and manufacture of highly sensitive fluorescent biosensors based on encapsulation of biomolecules in inorganic matrices and the characterization of these hybrid materials on a molecular level in order to improve their applications. What's more, we are working on the design and characterization of new fluorescent markers to monitor biological processes and be used in bioimaging, clinical diagnostic applications, food, and the environment. Lastly, we study the behavior of biomolecules in unconventional media, which could be ionic liquids or confined systems, with the aim of optimizing conditions for improved function.- Development of fluorescent sensors and biosensors with biomedical and environmental applications. Interaction of conjugated polymers with biological systems, such as proteins and lipid membranes, in order to explore possible biotechnological applications. Manufacture of fluorescent nanoparticles to be used in bioimaging and drug vehiculization.- Pneumococcal choline-binding module C-LytAThe interest of this protein is three-fold: i) It serves as a model to study the folding and engineering of repeat proteins; ii) It is an efficient affinity tag for the single-step chromatographic purification of recombinant proteins (C-LYTAG (TM)) or in aqueous solution; and iii) It may constitute a good target for the design of new antimicrobials against Streptococcus pneumoniae based on small molecules or in multivalent dendrimeric particles.Thermodynamic characterization of molecular recognition processes of biomolecules both intramolecular (like the case of protein folding) and intermolecular (like interactions that are protein-protein, enzyme-inhibitor, protein-DNA, etc.). Another relevant aspect of the research is the study of the inhibition of protein aggregation, both in its native state as well as partially or totally folded, by the increase in the electrostatic repulsion deriving from the formation of specific complexes with polyelectrolytes at high charge densities. Also being studied is the formation of coacervates between proteins and polyelectrolytes in aspects related to stability during long-term storage of protein drugs and the kinetic control of their release as the coacervate solubilizes. app_Android | app_iOS | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | | LinkedIn | Instagram | Pinterest +34 96 665 8500 | Contact us:info(arroba)umh.es Miguel Hernández University 2020

Michael Cerveris (Fringe) is set to join the cast of Fox show Gotham as it returns for Season 4.
Cerveris will be joining the show as Professor Pyg a DC Comics villain. Pyg aka Lazlo Valentin was the porcine mask-wearing, schizophrenic Circus of Strange leader who was known for his "Dollotrons" — victims to whom he affixed doll-like masks.
"Michael is one of my best friends," Gotham executive producer Danny Cannon told TVLine during their Fall Preview Q&A. "He was in my film school graduation movie, when we were both amateurs. And now he's joining the fold as Professor Pyg," in a multi-episode arc.
Gotham returns on Sept 21 for Season 4 in a move to Thursdays on Fox.
