Divorce is a cancer upon the world. There is no good that can come of it because it always divides and subtracts from the people involved. Children pay the heaviest price. This subject is heavy on my heart this morning.
Having said that, God can make a mess into a message and a test into a testimony. I have heard and read many stories affirming this truth and my own marriage is a testimony of it. I have friends for whom this is also true.
Please take some time to look up these scriptures in the Bible. I suggest the Message Bible as a very readable, understandable version.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1
Let us make man after our own image in our likeness. Genesis 1:26
From the dust of the ground God made man and breathed into him the breath of life. Genesis 2:6-7
No suitable helper was found. God put man into a deep sleep, making a woman for the man out of his side. Genesis 2:18
For the hardness of your hearts man was allowed to divorce his wife. Matthew 19:1-12 Romans 7:3
Jesus said, "From the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:8 I Corinthians 7:2
Man was created first, then woman. I Corinthians 11:3, 8-12 I Peter 3:17
Submit one to another in the fear of the Lord. Ephesians 5: 21-33
Divorce happens because of self-centeredness. Each person doing what is right in his or her own eyes. Proverbs 30:12
Does that mean that there are no reasons for divorce. Certainly not.
God allows divorce because of adultery. Though not clearly spoken in scripture, God does not condone one person abusing another. But, that does not mean that in every case of abuse or adultery God wants a woman or man to depart. God treats every person as an individual.
Define abuse. Abuse can be physical, mental or spiritual. When would God have you stay, when depart? If your life is in danger, depart. If your children are in danger, depart.
A friend of mine has stayed with a husband who is verbally abusive and now she has been diagnosed as mentally ill. She left once and went back, in my opinion she should have never gone back. I believe it was fear that gripped her and this opened a door to the dark side. Though she claimed to be a Christian her husband became her idol.
My sister has been with a verbally abusive man for over 50 years. He has little education but an outgoing personality that has gotten him by in life. His weakness is putting her down to lift himself up. In spite of this she loves him and believes that God has told her to stay. The words he uses have caused her to turn to the Lord for comfort and strength, and He gives it to her. He also blesses her in many other ways for staying the course. I Corinthians 7:16
The Bible tells us that a wife may win her husband to the Lord by her godly respectful behavior. Surely God puts up with irreverent, ungodly sinners, sometimes for many years before they are won over by His love. Earth life is short compared to eternity.
At this moment one of my sons is involved in divorce proceedings. I believe that God chose this woman for my son. That being said, the Bible says this: "Many are called but few are chosen." I know that is not talking specifically about marriage and divorce, but the principle is there. God calls some to be married, they can choose to do so or not. Once married they are called to stay married to their spouse.
God has given each person a will. We make decisions every day that affect our destiny. God will never superimpose His will upon anyone, though He has the power and authority to do so. God is love, and true love thinks of what is best for the loved one. God often allows what He does not condone.
Self-centeredness: "It is all about what I want. Others exist to do my will. If you don't do what I want, I have the right to throw you away. Life is about me being happy. If I am not happy then you won't be either." Plainly put: God is not in it, it is idolatry, you are sitting on the throne of your life, you are your own god.
God has a way for marriage that transcends the world's way of doing and being. Like the salvation of a soul, it requires a death, death to selfishness, for God's way of doing is loving your mate, giving of yourself, your time, to be a blessing to him or her. In so doing, you will receive the blessing of the Lord yourself.
Someone said that God puts people in marriage to kill them. I agree, because if you don't die to self-will, you cannot stay married long.
The world's way of marriage looks like this: Each person finds someone who will make them feel good, feel completed. Some want their spouse to do what they do, like what they like or go where they go. In other words, to be just like them. God did not create Adam and Adama. He created man and wom(b)man for the purpose of taking care of the earth, populating it, enjoying each other and enjoying being in His presence.
God, in His written word, specifically tells a believer not to marry someone who does not believe in Jesus as the way of salvation, the way to God, the way to Heaven at death. Why? Because they are two different operating systems.
Does this mean then that if two people are Christians and they marry that they will not have any problem. Absolutely not! There may, in fact, be more. The reason is that we live in a fallen world, a world where every man does what is right in his own eyes, a world where God has been put on the shelf or shoved out of His rightful place, thus the adversary of God will target the true believer, he will attack anything of God that looks like it may be successful.
Divorce in the church today is nearly equal to that of the world. It ought not to be. The handbook for believers, the Bible, clearly spells out God's will for marriage. Then why is divorce accepted among Christians? My simple answer is because the Bible is not relevant to them or their lives.
As I said, we have arrived at the time when Truth has become irrelevant because each man is doing what is right in his own eyes. This opens the door for all manner of evil to prevail. Wrong becomes right, light becomes dark and good becomes evil.
What then shall we say of these things? God have mercy upon us, forgive us for our self-centered way of doing and being and lead us into your truth, your way of doing and being right! Amen.
Friend, please know that I bring no condemnation to you or upon you. It's just that I am grieved over the hardness of heart that I see around me. God forgives any who call upon the name of Jesus. I have a personal knowledge of this. If you have been divorced, put away, God loves you and there is healing in Him. Run to Him, He will receive you and love you to life.
This spring my husband and I will have been married for 53 years. My husband's first wife divorced him, put him away, for another man, and I had never been married, nor had I ever had a relationship with a man. We did not know how to be married; we were flawed people who wanted to be loved and accepted, but neither of us was equipped. We lived together for 35 years walking on parallel paths. I rejoice to tell you that we learned that only in relationship with Jesus are we loved and accepted. This has brought us contentment with and happiness with each other.
Marriage is mixing everything together so that you cannot find the separate entity anymore. Somehow you become one and yet retain your individuality. It is a mystery when it is done God's way. And, it is wonderful. Is it a piece of cake? No! You have to work at it.
We "keep short accounts". We don't let offenses go and allow them to fester, we don't allow divisive thoughts to continue, we communicate and solve issues. We don't speak evil to each other or of each other to another person. We don't focus on each others shortcomings, we focus on those things that we do well, or for each other. As I was taught in Lutheran confirmation regarding others: "Put the best construction on all that he does."
My prayer for you if you have experienced the pain of divorce is healing in Jesus. I also hope this has provided some food for thought.
God bless you, Joy

USA Tops For Summer
By Alex Weprin
As the summer season peaks, USA Network is on track to post cable's most-viewed primetime in the season's history.
USA has averaged 3.6 million viewers in prime this summer. If it can hold on to that, it will beat previous record-holder Disney Channel, which averaged 3.1 million viewers in summer 2007.
The network's performance has been driven in part by new hit Royal Pains, which has grown since its June 4 launch and drew 6.5 million total viewers (2.8 million among adults 18-49) on June 16. It's also seen an uptick for Royal Pains lead-in Burn Notice and received consistent performances from off-network dramas like NCIS.
Staying on-brand is key, says Horizon Media's Brad Adgate. "Obviously there is a type of show on USA that works. [Royal Pains] is one of them, like Psych or Burn Notice or In Plain Sight," he says.
TNT (2.16 million viewers in prime) is second, though it has diminished numbers in total and demo viewers in the past four summers. But The Closer (nearly 6.7 million viewers) is the top drama on cable and rookie HawthoRNe averages 3.8 million viewers (1.5 million in 18-49), holding strong from its premiere to its second episode.
Turner research chief Jack Wakshlag remains upbeat about TNT, noting that strong duo. He also says now is a good time for TV in general.
Of course, summer is just heating up. TNT, Sci Fi (Syfy on July 7) and Lifetime have major new and returning series yet to premiere, leaving opportunity for new breakouts.
But NBC Universal Cable Entertainment President Bonnie Hammer, who oversees USA and Syfy, says summer can cool in an instant. "None of us, in our heart of hearts, believes or has the arrogance that [being atop the cable rankings] will last forever," Hammer says. "Anyone out there producing original fare we see as healthy competition."
Several networks further down the ratings rankings likewise have records in their sights, driven by programming that fits their most successful vein. ABC Family, Bravo, Discovery, E!, Food Network, TLC and TruTV are all looking at best-ever demo ratings.
ABC Family just posted its best June ever in all key metrics, including total viewers and the 18-49 demo, thanks to The Secret Life of the American Teenager and new series Make It or Break It. USA sister network Bravo, which has scheduled new installments of its Real Housewives franchise and had early success with new docu-soap NYC Prep this summer, has been growing year over year for five straight summers. E!'s coverage of the death of Michael Jackson and new series Kendra helped it deliver its best June on record in all key measures. And TruTV regained its footing after its rebrand from CourtTV last year and is once again growing, particularly in the younger demos it was hoping to attract.

Very interesting! I love alien and supernatural books. Check out my book The Sock Market please!!!
Interesting beginning. ;)
I wonder what happens next.
Keep of writing my friend. ^_^
Nice start!
I had a few nit here, Raybird. Nothing earthshaking, but set off a chime in my head. Moving on to the next chapter.
Nice, your style is professional but laid back at the same time, if that makes sense. Good start and I enjoyed the ending of this chapter
Thought that I would make a pit stop here and check out your story. Not a bad start whatsoever.
Looks like we are going to have some pretty intense situations to sort through. Hoope the booksie editors treat you nicely.
Thanks Ms Bird
A Hoosier, huh? Do they still rule in basketball? I really don't keep up.
Football rules us down here in Texas. So does Shiner beer and the sun.
Glad you have some interest. Never had any trouble with the editors. Although I was a little concerned about some small continuing content in my " A Dark Christmas", but never heard a thing.
You may want to check it out too, the holidays coming up and all.
Being 59 years of age, my Christmas got to be less and less jolly as time went on. Then I started using Amazon. God bless them.
Catcha down the road
Interesting start. I like the elements you have brought together. Looking forward to chapter 2.
hi there your story is awesome but you could have a better book cover??
bye the way it's cool
Thank you for the nice comments, Aleeha. I'll be sure to check out some of your works too.
If you enjoy scyfy/fantasy I guarantee you if you stick with the story you won't be disappointed.
There were some better book covers, but the were copywrited. This was really the best I could come up with.
Be safe and be well. I look forward to more comments.
Mike and Ray sound almost like brothers and I would guess by their long history together that they may feel that kind of camaraderie. So the aliens have come to attack us the sneaky devils! To what do we owe such an offense. Looking forward to finding out. Thanks for the invite to read!
Strictly my pleasure, Amy. Thanks for the comment
In reality Mike and I have know each other since fourth grade. Neither one of us have childhoods we want to remember. Mine was extremely bad. I would not have made it without him.
As a matter of fact, I just saw him off back to his home in Louisville, Ky Sunday. He came for a short visit. We had a blast. Second time I've seen him in over 38 years.
The Terrific Two is what we came up with as kids. We would play that all the time. Saving the world from monsters, aliens, mad scientists, and whole host of other villains. I think we saved the world at least 3 times a day when he would come over.
What provoked the aliens? All I've got to say is read on, MacDuff!
A quick start and a pretty good hook, especially for those who like these types of stories. Will continue on.
Aliens. Not the type of story I'm most used too.
I see you are optimistic about the future. I'll read the first chapter on the the other too and desire which one to stick with
Thank you SH
Aliens are only somewhat of a smaller part of the story. This book will take you to other dimensions, but actual aliens are not that much of a part of it.
When you get to the chapter called "The Discovery", you'll see what I mean
I'm looking forward to reading your works. I'll start early next week
I see you hail from Norway(if I remember correctly) What's it like there? I bet it's beautiful but cold.
Probably almost 2 in the morning there right now.
I'm not used to reading something with such a setting or style. From the small summary, it seemed like it would be a very interesting, so I probably need to read on to really get into the story, but so far, it seems alright, even if I don't understand most of the terms used here. :)

Mads Brügger (born June 24, 1972) is a Danish filmmaker and TV host. His Danes for Bush and The Red Chapel are ironic documentaries filmed in the United States and North Korea.[1] On the Danish channel DR2 he has been host of the talk show Den 11. time and the news program Deadline.[2]
In October 2011 he released a new documentary, The Ambassador, about the trading of diplomatic titles in Africa.[3][4]
As result of the revelations in the documentary the government of Liberia has taken legal steps to prosecute Brügger and the other participants, due to the embarrassment his work has done to the country. However, as of July 2012 the Danish government has not been presented with a formal demand for the extradition of Brügger.[5]

Famous weddings are an iconic part of culture and often serve as inspiration of brides-to-be.
One of the most famous weddings of all times was when Princess Diana wed Charles, Prince of Wales. The luxurious event, which is often referred to as a fairytale wedding, was watched my millions around the world and included a horse-drawn glass carriage, a wedding dress train that was over 20 feet long, and 27 wedding cakes.
The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton was an elegant affair that would go down in the history books as one of the most famous weddings. The event was televised to millions of viewers, had a royal guest list, and was celebrated as a national holiday. The dress worn by Kate Middleton was both traditional and modern and replicas were produced and sought-after of brides-to-be.
Elizabeth Taylor has become infamous when it comes to weddings, she had eight! Her ceremonies ranged from civil ceremonies to elegant affairs. Throughout all of her weddings she is known for her elegant style and fashion choices. Her style of dresses ranged from traditional bridal gowns, to tea length dresses, to a fur coat.

A recent graduate of Musicians Institute, LA, Tung brings wide ranging experience as a composer, songwriter and performer to the commercial music company. Kaplan, formerly with music marketing firm Buzzplay.com, is an experienced executive in the recording, broadcast television and film industries.
Tung allows Howling Music to offer its clients an additional and fresh creative perspective, while Kaplan will help the company to extend the reach of its marketing efforts, according to Howling Music principal David Grow. "We are growing but we are proceeding carefully," Grow said. "While we want to expand our services, we don't want to do so at the expense of the boutique atmosphere and personalized service that has fueled our success. Our focus remains remarkable, distinctive music, one score at a time."
Grow said he became interested in Tung after learning of her unusual background. "She is a classically trained pianist, a bassist in a hard rock band and studied jazz at MI," he observed. "She has also worked in live theater. I had never seen that combination of skills before and it piqued my interest. When I heard her music, I thought, of course, that's what you get when you combine all those elements in one person. Her work is eclectic, interesting and incredibly engaging. She was a perfect fit for us."
Tung was born in Taipei, Taiwan and grew up in Memphis. She began studying piano when she was four and flute when she was nine. After graduating from San Francisco State University in 1990, she joined the Tony Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe as a composer, writer and actor. As a musical performer, she has appeared on The Country Music Awards and Ed McMahon's "Next Big Star Show." She is also a member of the rock band HDR, headed by Pete Yorn guitarist Joe Mora.
Regarding Kaplan's appointment, Grow observed that Howling has a less traditional corporate infrastructure which by definition, requires a staff capable of multi-tasking. "We don't really have titles here," Grow says. "Everybody is expected to do pretty much everything except for (executive producer) Kim Pawlik who gets a hall pass in the singing department. We were looking for someone who could take the reigns of the marketing effort and still be very creatively involved. We certainly found that guy in Brian. He's also a technical whiz and a solid engineer which doesn't hurt either."
In his new role, Kaplan will direct sales, formulate marketing plans and work with Grow in planning the company's long-term growth strategies. "While we have no intention of becoming a music factory, we do intend to compete with the industry's largest music houses for the best work in the best markets," Kaplan said.
At Buzzplay.com, Kaplan was involved in booking, publicity, artist management and artist development for unsigned music acts. His background also includes a post with the broadcast design company The Firm Design Group, New York. Additionally, he has experience as a web and print designer, marketing consultant and producer. Kaplan studied audio engineering at Full Sail Program For Recording Arts in Orlando, Florida.

Joseph Schooling Visits Yuhua Primary School
SINGAPORE – Joseph Schooling has swum before crowds numbering in their thousands, but there is still something about a hall full of screaming, delighted schoolchildren that one cannot be entirely prepared for.
The Olympic champion admitted to being pleasantly surprised by the rousing reception from Yuhua Primary School students yesterday, when he attended an event held at the school to show support for Team Singapore athletes going for the SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur.
The Games begin on Saturday (Aug 19) and run until Aug 30
"The Olympics happened a year ago, but their continuous support for me really touches my heart because that's not normal," said Schooling.
"You don't see kids go that crazy for assembly. I know… I've been in primary school before."
The excitement reached fever pitch when Schooling walked around the hall taking questions from students, with some falling over as they surged towards the swim star, although no one was hurt.
The 22-year-old answered the questions posed to him as earnestly as he could, from what was his favourite subject in primary school (science) to what music he listens to before races (alternative rock, house music).
"To see them so excited and passionate about a sporting achievement, it makes me feel real good about what I've achieved and how far the sporting scene has come in Singapore," he said.
Primary 4 student Li Yingliang asked Schooling how he dealt with nerves before his gold medal swim at the Rio Olympics.
The 10-year-old is also a swimmer, and said nerves affect him before his own races.
"Joseph told me to just be calm, take deep breaths and block out all other thoughts except about the race," said Yingliang.
Over 1,000 children from Yuhua, along with student representatives from Shuqun Secondary School and Crest Secondary School were present for the event organised in conjunction with Milo Singapore and the South West Community Development Council.
Schooling was presented with a board filled with heartfelt wishes from Yuhua students, wishing him and Team Singapore athletes, success at the KL Games.
Said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Trade and Industry and Education and Mayor of South West District Low Yen Ling, who was the event's guest of honour: "Each and every SEA Games athlete is a wonderful and inspiring role model for our students. This is why we have teamed up with Yuhua Primary School and Milo for this very wonderful sending-off event."

SEC hits San Francisco firm with $3m fine for overstating returns
WASHINGTON DC - A San Francisco-based company agreed to pay a fine of $3 million for miscalculating and materially overstating annualized net returns to retail and other investors.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission imposed the penalty in a settlement with Prosper Funding LLC on Friday.
Prosper, which also has a base in Phoenix, Arizona, is a marketplace lender that, through its website, offers and sells securities linked to the performance of its consumer credit loans which are offered to individuals, and generally are at betwen $2,000 and $40,000. According to the SEC's order, from approximately July 2015 until May 2017, the company excluded certain non-performing charged off loans from its calculation of annualized net returns that it reported to investors.
The order found that, as a result, Prosper reported overstated annualized net returns to more than 30,000 investors on individual account pages on Prosper's website and in emails soliciting additional investments from investors. The SEC says many investors decided to make additional investments based on the overstated annualized net returns. The order also found that Prosper failed to identify and correct the error despite it's knowledge that it no longer understood how annualized net returns were calculated and despite investor complaints about the calculation.
"For almost two years, Prosper told tens of thousands of investors that their returns were higher than they actually were despite warning signs that should have alerted Prosper that it was miscalculating those returns," Daniel Michael, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's Complex Financial Instruments Unit said Friday. "As this case shows, we are committed to holding fintech companies to the same standards applicable to other participants in the securities markets."
Without admitting or denying the findings, Prosper consented to the entry of an SEC order finding that it violated the antifraud provisions. In addition to the penalty, the SEC's order requires Prosper to cease and desist from future violations.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Jason Casey and Daniel Nigro of the Complex Financial Instruments Unit. Laura Metcalfe supervised the investigation.
Prosper was founded in 2005 and since then claims to have facilitated more than $14 billion in loans to more than 900,000 people.

James Bond has had more than his share of enviable cars over the half century or so that he's graced our screens, but his next ride sets a new standard for spy car cool.
Having had his classic Aston Martin DB5 spectacularly and heartbreakingly totalled in 2012's Skyfall, Bond was in need of a new set wheels – one that would be impractically conspicuous for a spy, naturally – and Aston Martin has delivered.
The iconic British manufacturer's DB10 will make its debut when Bond returns in Spectre, the series' 24th film, which is scheduled to hit cinemas at the end of 2015.
Live and let drive
The DB10 has been developed specially for the film, although with a production run of 10 we imagine it will find its way into a few collectors' garages.
Aston Martin claims the car provides a glimpse at what is in store for the brand's next generation of vehicles, so we can probably expect to see larger grills and a narrowing of the headlights.
We can only hope James Bond takes better care of this Aston than he did his last one.

The Four Leading Reasons to Shop for a Furnished Apartment for Your Next Move
Opting to search for furnished apartments is a huge decision for most people. The big deal is that individuals want to make the place feel like home with their belongings. There are several top reasons to choose furnished, especially if you are just starting out on your own.
1. Furnished apartments save you tons of time
With an apartment full of furniture, you can move into your new place in hours because you have so little to bring with you. There is no reason to shop for new appliances because they are already in place and ready for you to use. No need to organize the apartment once you get everything inside because it is all in place. You can put away your things in a short amount of time, and get back to work or school the following day. One of the biggest advantages of furnished apartments is that you can still decorate the way you want, and with the time you save going with furnished, you will have the energy to organize your new place.
2. Forget about heavy lifting and back breaking relocations
Besides having nothing to pack but your belongings, you do not have to worry about renting a moving truck, hiring movers, or doing the work of heavy lifting all day long. Forget about hunting for furniture to fit into your new abode because it is already there and organized. With only your personal items to transport, there are fewer chances to injure yourself. Moving into a furnished apartment saves you from climbing flights of stairs while heaving solid wood dressers and dense couches when you are not relocating to a first-floor unit.
3. Shorter leases can come in handy
One of the most appealing things about furnished apartments is that you can opt for a one, three, or six-month contract in most cases versus the full year typical of unfurnished units. A shorter lease lets you find out how well you like the area, the neighbors, and your landlord. If you conclude that you are not happy with your situation, and there is no way to change it, then you can opt to move again. When you must relocate because of traffic or other problems, then you have much less to pack up, and you can get done much quicker. A smaller lease gives you the ability to pay rent in full so that you can save more money down the road.
4. Furnished apartments are often quickly available
Because it takes so little time to get someone else out of furnished apartments Toronto in most cases, it is much easier for you to get in fast when time is of the essence. A landlord that furnishes apartments can go over the unit, have it cleaned and maintained, and get it ready to release in a matter of days. When you need to move into a new place quick, then furnished is one of the best ways to go. There are much fewer tasks to coordinate, and you do not need the help of a small army to move your stuff. You can always transport your things yourself if you have no one to help, or you relocate to a new territory or city where you do not know anyone to help you move.
Opting for furnished versus empty apartments provides you with four excellent reasons to start hunting. No more back breaking moves for you to undergo. Besides, with all the time and money you save, you can spend it dressing up your new space to make sure your guests feel welcome when they visit.

BasketBall Wives Causing Problems Already: Orlando Magic's Matt Barnes Says The Whole Show Is A Joke
Basketball Wives cast member Gloria Govan's fiance, Orlando Magic's guard Matt Barnes, is not happy with the show and has a mouthful to say about it. He recently went on the radio to voice his opinion about the producers and how Shaunie O' Neal was nagged his wife until she signed up…
I wasn't 100% against it at the beginning. It started back in Phoenix when SHAUNIE O'NEAL approached my fiancee about it and I was really apprehensive about it. Then they kept approaching my fiancee about it back and forth back and forth and I was really against it but my fiancee talked to the producers and felt good about it so I definitely backed her.
But after watching the first show I was just disgusted. I told my team, because you know [my teammate] Dwight's involved in that too, that I'm not watching that because I know it's going to make me mad and I'm going to watch it at the end of the season. I just think that what they say is going to happen and what actually happens is two different things.
Reality TV is kind of a joke. Everything is scripted. There is nothing reality about Reality TV. With that said, I'll kind of leave it at that but if you want to have me back on at the end of the season when I won't get fined for what I say, I'll definitely tell you what I think about that.

The PlayStation Experience has delivered some PlayStation Vita love despite my skepticism, and one of the biggest Vita name-drops came as we learned that Tim Shafer's Full Throttle is getting remastered for the console.
A point and click adventure game about a man named Ben, Full Throttle is getting remastered for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 – coming to us with all new artwork and higher resolution assets… updated by hand.
They also aim to restore the sound and music to a higher quality, as well as adding in new features like concept artwork, commentary tracks, and more – but it seems like the look will be their main focus in the remaster.
Not yet dated, but probably already highly anticipated – you can expect us to bring you more news on Full Throttle Remastered as soon as it becomes available.

On Friday, December 28, the College Futures Foundation awarded Norco College a $200,000 grant to implement a case-management approach for Guided Pathways.
In 2017, Norco College was one of 20 community colleges selected statewide to participate in the California Guided Pathways Initiative—a venture designed to substantially increase the number of students who earn a certificate or degree.
That year, Norco College developed four schools—School of Arts & Humanities, School of Social & Behavioral Sciences, School of Business Management, and the School of STEM. This was designed to assist students in choosing a pathway major and degree based on interests, knowledge, skills, abilities and ultimate career goals.
The new grant will allow the College to: Expand/fund student access to an academic planning system that allows them to easily monitor progress on their (pathway) program of study; support Student Success Teams and college community with guided pathways professional development; create/maintain a new college website that makes it easier for students to choose a program that leads to transfer and/or a career; establish a communication plan to improve students' understanding of the guided pathways available and; document the school's journey to becoming a Pathways College.
"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the College Futures Foundation, whose funding will help us take bold steps forward for our students, adding support and technology designed to help our students efficiently complete a pathway from college to transfer to career and beyond." said Samuel Lee, Ed.D., Norco College vice president of Academic Affairs.
This week's grant was the second time in recent years the College Futures Foundation (Foundation) demonstrated support for Norco College endeavors. In 2016, the Foundation invested in a planning grant at the college to support the development of relatable academic majors, guided pathways, and college to career linkages.

Our dependence on food both as necessity and for pleasure means our reactions to food adjectives can be very strong. Sometimes, when writers reach for the word that adequately describes the moment, they fall short, landing in a thorny nest of jargon or falling back on the easy and the meaningless.
None of us are perfect, and improving as a writer is a journey, not a destination. I have been guilty of a few of these word crimes myself over the years. As a writing community, we can all get better together.
Here are a dozen that can really just rub people the wrong way or don't say much about the subject matter. As always, feel free to leave your own perspective in the comments below.
12. Delicious: It says absolutely nothing about food other than that the writer enjoyed it. It's not a visceral, evocative description. Was the food chewy, salty, soft or spicy? These are the kinds of words that tell people what they want to know. Using "delicious" is a lazy catch-all. "Stellar" and "tasty" are close relatives (and I'm still having trouble avoiding those two).
11. Scrumptious: Similar to "delicious" except with a marketing-speak twist. What does this even mean? It may have evolved from the word "sumptuous," an evocative term that means "lavish." "Scrumpy" is a kind of potent cider made in small batches. We propose less "scrumptious" and more "scrumpy."
10. Yummy: Similar to "delicious" except it also makes you sound like a five-year-old who just scored a candy bar. However, it's acceptable when describing anything that comes with a cute character on the package.
9. Foreign: Unless describing "something that doesn't belong in food," like, "foreign object," it's probably better to leave this one alone. There's unfortunately too much hate that surrounds the word "foreigner" in this country right now for this to not be a word charged with negativity.
8. Exotic: A way to sex up the words "unfamiliar" or "rare." It's exotic to whom? To you? For someone else, it's a staple dish or ingredient, and in the great melting pot of America, you can bet that there are people familiar with it in your readership.
7. Cronut, cupcaroon and other portmanteaus: I've enthusiastically written about cupcaroons — and enjoyed them — but the word itself is like sandpaper. Creating a new food word from two other words is really more of a way to make marketing easier and avoid having to say the lengthier "round, iced croissant" and "macaroon-topped cupcake." On the other hand, invented terms such as these can likely be trademarked (although recipes don't get legal protection), and make it easier to find available Internet domain names, so chances are these compound food words are here to stay.
6. To Perfection: A phrase, not a word, but it should be here anyway. Freelance restaurant critic Nick Hall says the phrase drives him crazy as another example of lazy writing. "There's a difference between saying something was perfectly cooked (as in a technically correct preparation of an item) and saying everything was cooked to perfection," he wrote. People use it as a get out of jail free card for actually having to describe what they mean. A steak ordered black and blue that arrives with a hard sear and a cold red interior is perfectly cooked. "We ordered the roasted chicken and it was cooked to perfection," doesn't really tell me anything."
5. Unctuous: It means "oily" or "greasy." In a positive context, like a dish with flavorful fat, "silky" is a great alternative. Straight talk with adjectives that people don't have to look up in a dictionary goes a long way.

4. Impaled: A word that is a little too evocative. It's impossible to read "impaled" without imagining it happening to you or remembering all those horrible stories of Vlad the Impaler. "Skewered" is at least more closely tied to a food noun, "skewer."
3. Slurp: Some of us really, really detest the sound of others eating. Crunching, smacking, chewing — all of these are like nails on chalkboard. The worst, though, is slurping, and even the sight of that word stirs the imagination in the most cringe-worthy way. It's most often used to describe ramen, but, really, no one wants to see others sucking a bunch of noodles and broth into their mouths. Ugh.
2. Smack: Related to slurp, this is another "sound word." Smacking happens when someone chews with his mouth open, and didn't your parents teach you that was rude? Someone smacking on gum or making mouth noises after eating anything that's "lip-smacking" might inspire fantasies of another kind of smacking — upside the head.
1. Nom: Fine for goofing off on social media, but it has no place in professional writing, along with "nomerific," "nommy" and "nomilicious." That's actually the incantation for summoning Guy Fieri to your chalk pentagram. He'll give you a ride to Flavortown — and you won't like it.

Natural Affairs – a stunning trend in bridal tiaras and headbands
The Natural Affairs theme extends bridal and tiara design choices beyond the traditional white into realms of vibrant pinks, purples and greens. Completely at home in the natural world and passionate about all living things, a devotee of Natural Affairs turns to the garden's own palette for inspiration. Design possibilities range from warm peachy tones to pale pinks and lilac with accents of bright pink, as well as watery aqua and turquoise radiating next to accents of dark blues and different shades of green. Tiaras abound in stunning floral effects reminiscent of antique garlands fashioned in Arcadia's leafy glades.
The vibrantly colored stones, chosen from a wide variety of cuts, harmoniously complement precious metals such as white, yellow and rose gold, as well as gold plated 925 silver. Natural Affairs offers the perfect design backdrop for Swarovski Genuine Topaz in intense hues such as Kashmir, Rainforest, Baby Pink, Blazing Red, Honey or Poppy – all colored in an environmentally and consumer friendly way without the use of irradiation – and the delicately colored Swarovski Genuine Amethyst, Rhodolite and Peridot gemstones.
For the natural bride who strives to embrace the essential and enduring qualities that life has to offer, also wearing a tiara made with Swarovski Genuine Blue or Pink Sapphire is a great and meaningful choice. According to tradition, blue sapphire is associated with loyalty, honesty and truth, whereas pink sapphire stands for love, romance and passion. Therefore, Swarovski Genuine Sapphires really are the perfect accessory for a romantic country wedding.

One of the marvelous things about Japan is its efficient and extensive public transportation network. Although reliable, clean and safe, riding the rails here is not without quirks – or quirky passengers. At first sight, all aboard seems orderly. Look closer around you, however, and cracks start to show in this well-oiled system. The behavior of a few breeds of annoying people threatens the comfort of your ride, while other sightings are an "only in Japan" phenomenon.
To help pass the time for frazzled commuters like you, we've designed a special bingo game. The board is without traditional numbers or vocabulary words, but the rules remain the same as to how grandma plays in the retirement home, or Japanese students play in English class. Be the first to spot any four featured squares in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row, and you're the big winner. Simple as that.
So sharpen your pencil, grab a friend (or the nearest salaryman), rush onto the train (mind the doors), and let the games begin!

A group of scientists is warning earth is nearing a tipping point where climate change is concerned. At that point, there's nothing that can be done to stem the effects of a changing climate.
"It really will be a new world, biologically, at that point," said Anthony Barnosky, professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley, in a press release. He's the lead author of a review paper appearing in the June 7 issue of the journal Nature.
Just one question: When?
The answer is in the press release:
"…no one knows how close Earth is to a global tipping point, or if it is inevitable."
In other words: it's not really clear at all.
But wait! In a video accompanying the press release, Barnosky says "it's pretty clear we're heading for something big."
And the lead paragraph of the news release reads like this:
A prestigious group of scientists from around the world is warning that population growth, widespread destruction of natural ecosystems, and climate change may be driving Earth toward an irreversible change in the biosphere, a planet-wide tipping point that would have destructive consequences absent adequate preparation and mitigation.
This highlights an old journalistic axiom: "If you use 'may' in a headline or story, you might as well use 'may not' as well."
There's one other fact that appears at the end of the report. It's not new. It actually comes from a conference held at Berkeley two years ago.
They concluded that there is an urgent need for global cooperation to reduce world population growth and per-capita resource use, replace fossil fuels with sustainable sources, develop more efficient food production and distribution without taking over more land, and better manage the land and ocean areas not already dominated by humans as reservoirs of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
"I Fear This Will Be the Most Important News of 2012," the Atlantic's James Fallows says in a headline on his blog today. If so, shouldn't it have been the most important news of two years ago?

This is an update to my previous post - https://daxdilip.blogspot.com.au/2017/03/dynamics-365-for-operations-tip-mobile.html, where I shared a workaround on how to view the out of box mobile workspaces from System Administration > Parameters form and publish them.
This workaround is no longer needed as in this post, i will explain the steps on how to achieve the same using standard process:
As you are aware, that wiki is being deprecated, and now Microsoft is moving to a new docs site for D365FO help, so keep an eye on Dynamics 365 for Operations Mobile Workspaces as this is the page where Microsoft will publish their upcoming mobile workspaces
At the moment, we have the following workspaces for mobile
- Expense Management Mobile Workspace
- Project Time Entry Mobile Workspace
- Cost Controlling Mobile Workspace
- Mobile Invoice Approvals
- Vendor Collaborations Mobile Workspace
Most of the above workspaces are linked to a Hotfix which can be downloaded from LCS
Previously on wiki, We had Inventory on hand and sales order workspaces, but looks like they are not ported to the new Dynamics docs site.
In this post, I will walk through an example of setting up mobile workspaces for sales order and inventory on hand.
Step 1:
Go to LCS > Project > Issue Search and search for the below KB or just click on this link
Step 2
Download KB 4013633 (an X++ update or metadata hotfix). This contains four mobile workspaces for supply chain management.
Step 3
Once you download the hotfix, extract it to your VM where you want to install the hotfix. Since this is a metadata hotfix, this needs to be treated bit differently, as it can't be installed from Asset Library.
Step 4
Log in to your VM and then use the SCDPBundleInstall command
SCDPBundleInstall.exe -install -packagepath=c:\temp\HotfixPackageBundle.axscdppkg -metadatastorepath= J:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory
Tip - Note in some of the later VM's you will find the SCDPBundleInstall in the Bin directory inside PackagesLocalDirectory i.e. J:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin
Step 5
Once the bundle installation is successful, next step is to go to Visual Studio and create a deployable package as shown below:
Step 7
Once the deployable package is created, go to Asset Library and add the deployable package in software deployable package Asset type
Step 8
Now, you should be able to go to your environment where you want to apply the deployable package and then click on Apply Updates from maintain environment and select the deployable package and start deploying.
The environment will go into Servicing state and no one will be able to use the environment at this point. This may take 1 to 2 hours to get deployed.
Once the package is deployed, you can now go to System Administration > Parameters > Mobile parameters and pubilsh the default mobile workspaces and start using them

InFlight is known for putting "beautiful faces on big back-ends…"
InFlight specializes in modernizing legacy information systems (backends) with new responsive, user-friendly interfaces (beautiful faces). More, they consolidate different software systems into more manageable applications.
Last year, InFlight asked Benchmark to help them make a better impression with their 10×10 booth at the OHUG 2017 Global Conference. Using our catalog of booth designs, they were able to zero in on exactly what they wanted to capture their prospects' attention. Here's the concept we settled on to start the build.
This year, they wanted to use the booths BIG 8ft x 8ft backlit to take it up another notch. With a wonderfully creative image of some of the biggest, ugliest, backends on Earth, they stopped prospects in their tracks and delivered their message – "we put beautiful faces on big back-ends".
Graphically, their booth consists of an aluminum frame backwall display fitted with an 8ft x 8ft backlit SEG graphic, custom printed and shaped wing panels, and a pillowcase canopy. Structurally, the frame is outfitted with a counter, shelving, and a monitor mount for digital displays. To support lead capture and literature distribution, there is a reception counter fitted with custom printed panels and literature holders.
The backlit SEG graphic was the centerpiece of the display. SEG is an acronym for silicone edge graphic. This is a graphic that is printed on tension fabric with silicone strips sewn to its edges. The edges of the graphic can then be easily and securely inserted into a channeled frame. The frame displays the lightweight graphic, keeping the fabric taut, crisp, and wrinkle-free. LED side lights illuminate the graphic with bright, even lighting.
The wing panels were custom designed, printed, and computer-cut out of sintra board and attached to the frame with clips. The canopy was made with a custom tension pillowcase graphic that zips into place around a tubular aluminum frame, complementing the backlit graphic and its accompanying wing panels.
Like the backwall display, the reception counter also is based on an aluminum frame. The literature holders attach to the vertical frame members. The counter's infill panels were custom printed and cut from sintra board, just like the wing panels.
All of the above breaks down into three sturdy cases, each with wheels for easy transportation.
In addition to producing the booth, Benchmark provides InFlight with booth storage, shipping logistics, and the professional crews that set up and dismantle the booth at shows. This Rhino booth was used at a venue in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The great thing about the display, aside from its looks, is that it can be modified and added to for larger spaces. And next year, if they find a better picture of backends, they'll simply order replacement graphics and panels to show them off.
While this was a 10ft x 10ft booth, Benchmark Imaging & Display can accommodate the design and production of booths of any size. We also offer a variety of easy-to-assemble portable solutions. Among our more popular offerings are the new SEG backlit pop up displays and our retractable banner stands.

Our sales team will be more than happy to answer any of your questions and get you on the road!

Customers Say:
Thanks for all your work on this project. I appreciate your diligence to ensure successful delivery of a quality product. Brian tells me the graphic looks terrific.
Just wanted to let you know how much we absolutely love our banners! They are more beautiful than we ever imagined! We are so pleased with them. They had their debut at our Hearts of Valor Ball and they were spectacular!
Our marketing firm suggested Benchmark. As soon as I saw the display panels, I could see why. The photos, even though they were blown up to a huge size, look crisp and clear; the colors are beautiful. Benchmark sent them quickly (they rushed to get them to us in time for an upcoming show) and the response we've gotten is extremely positive. I now will use only Benchmark – their quality is outstanding; their prices are reasonable..and they're nice to work with!
I know I can rely on Benchmark to get the job done on time and on budget. It's important for me to know that Benchmark keeps up with the latest technology and equipment to benefit my quality requirements and service needs. They are definitely my best source for graphics!
Thanks for a great job. We go through handstands/cartwheels in the process, but you guys do great work! I like doing business with you and have recommended you to several people.
We went to another company to create two banner displays. We only used them once before they fell apart. Needing the displays for an event in less than 3 business days, we received outstanding service right from the start. Their staff took the time to explain different options as well as show us examples of those options. Not only were they extremely helpful, providing regular updates via email and phone, Benchmark got the job done on time. Even with the rush, Benchmark's pricing is very reasonable and we could not be more impressed with the quality of their work and amazing customer service. We were very happy with their efforts and we will definitely go back in the future.
We're back from Cancun and it was a smashing success. The pictograms were perfect. They got to where they were suppose to be, on time, in pristine condition. They were a real focal point that teams gathered around all week long. And to have thirty of them back to back to back in the general session room was phenomenal. So thank you for all the expertise and the loving care you and all your staff gave our project. We're thinking about how pictograms fit into other programs. Thanks so much.
We were looking for a cost effective way to produce full color menu boards, and Benchmark had the answer. Their Flat Bed Printer delivered great color and detail, and, because the machine prints directly to the Styrene, we had no mounting or laminating expenses. We use these boards both indoors and out, and they really look sharp. To all this, add friendly service and fast turn-around, and you get a winning recipe with Benchmark.
Thank you on behalf of the graphic designers at the Chicago History Museum for your integral part in bringing our graphics to life for the Abraham and Juárez exhibits. We couldn't have done it with out you!
Bill, I recieved the banner here in Iowa City, and I am very happy. Excellent look, and I am excited about how lightweight and easy to erect the apparatus is. I look forward to further collaboration between CTS and Benchmark in the future.

Imagine it's about nine in the evening, on any given weeknight. You've settled down with a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever it is you drink at night. The kids are in bed, your spouse is doing their thing in the other room, and there's some show you're not really interested in on the TV. You sit down at the computer and go to your favorite discussion board.
After a few minutes of looking at funny cat pictures and unfunny memes, you come across a post about a story in the news. It looks like a black person has had the police called on them for doing something that millions of ordinary people do around the country on a daily basis with no issue. In this case no one was hurt, but that's not the point. You decide to chime in with your thoughts concerning this particular event. You say your peace and post, and think nothing of it.
A few minutes later the little red icon appears in your notifications. Someone has responded to your post.
"Shut up you virtue signaling cuck. No one here gives a fuck, you sjw faggot."
I'm sure this is a true story for many of you reading this. Maybe they also throw in some shit about the Jews.
So, what the fuck is "Virtue Signaling," you may be asking yourself. It's when somebody loudly and visibly expresses certain opinions, positions, or values, that the person may not particularly live by or care for, expressly for the reason of making other people think they do. So said people may do things like post supporting messages all over social media, but then never really contribute any time or money to the cause they're posting about. A good example of this was the Kony 2012 "movement" to expose Ugandan cult and militia leader Joesph Kony. Suddenly we had thousands of people posting "Stop Kony" all over Facebook and elsewhere, when in real life none of these people had even heard of this guy or really gave two shits about forced child soldiers, or for that matter any of the problems people in Africa face at all. In this sense it's related to the phenomena of "dog-whistling," except instead of using symbols and coded language to signal your support you loudly proclaim it for all to hear.
Then of course the alt-right got a hold of it, and fucked it all up.
Long story short, when used by the Alt-right, virtue-signaling has become a way of attempting to shut-down someone's argument or criticism without having to actually engage. It's basically a more insulting way of saying "shut up!" with the added sting of projected hypocrisy behind it. One of the go-to platitudes of the alt-right is their belief that everyone holds similar positions on racism, sexism, and immigration that they do, but are simply too afraid to express it. Thus when someone stands up to them and publicly disagrees with their positions, that must then mean said person is merely virtue-signaling. They don't really believe what they say, they're only saying it because they want people to think that's what they believe. It's a great way of projecting one's own insecurities onto one's enemies while simultaneously deflecting their criticisms. It allows one to bullshit themselves into thinking they're somehow more ideologically more consistent, when in real life it's just another form of denial.
So when you're out there in the depths of social media, fighting it out in the shittier parts of Reddit, debating politics or culture with people you only vaguely know on Facebook, or god forbid braving the cancer that is the Youtube comments section, and someone hits you with this virtue signaling malarkey, the best thing to do is attack. Press forward and double down. The virtue signaling-gambit is a big red flag that says "I don't know what the hell I'm talking about."

Lohne, 25th September 2014 – More electricity with the same input? That's what the Organic Rankine Cycle technology (ORC) employed by the Lower Saxon biogas plant manufacturer EnviTec Biogas can do. Biogas plant operators in particular can profit from the procedure that the listed company already uses successfully throughout Europe.
ORC technology was originally developed for operation of steam turbines using an alternative working medium instead of water vapour. Today it is used to convey the waste heat generated in a co-generation plant during electricity production via a carrier medium to the ORC cycle. The heat causes the organic working medium to vaporise. The high-pressure steam thereby generated is then conducted through a turbine and converted into electrical energy by a generator. The working medium is then liquefied in a condenser and fed back to the cycle process. The electrical energy created in the process is fed into the public power grid.
"As the ORC technology is a simple closed cyclic process these plants convince in operation above all thanks to the low costs and maintenance they require", explains Jürgen Tenbrink, Chief Technology Officer of the Lohne-based biogas all-rounder.
The cost-efficient technology has won over operators of a biogas plant located in the Lower Saxon town of Bergen near Celle. Their 1,067 kWel EnviTec biogas plant with CHP which is operated with renewable raw materials and pig slurry recently has been upgraded with the ORC waste heat technology. This will result in an additional output of 96 kWel, which will be fed into the grid. In addition to the extra electricity generated in the process, there is also still enough waste heat left for the fermentation process.
For operators, an ORC plant is an investment that pays off: "Usually, the costs have been amortised after about five years", reports Axel Faulborn, Head of the Construction Management Department at EnviTec. In addition to the financial bonus for EnviTec customers, the environment also benefits from the ORC technology used. "Over half of the energy used worldwide by industry and agriculture is still lost as waste heat", explains Jürgen Tenbrink. Its sustainable use therefore opens up potential for the alternative generation of electrical energy, not only in Germany, but throughout Europe.

Flickering is the nickname for when you exile a card and it comes back into play under owners control either right away or at the beginning of next end step. Not to be confused with the ability call phasing.
"Flickering" removes all counters and auras from a creature, and makes it dodge targeted removal if a spell "flickering" that creature is played in response to the removal spell targeting it.
- A permanent that returns to the battlefield after being exiled does so as an entirely new object. It will have no memory of or connection to its previous existence.
- Unless an effect says otherwise, permanents enter the battlefield untapped, creatures can't attack or until they've been continuously under your control since the start of your most recent turn, and double-faced cards enter the battlefield with their front face up.
- Any Auras attached to a permanent that leaves the battlefield will be put into their owner's graveyard the next time state-based actions are checked. Any Equipment attached to a permanent that leaves the battlefield become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on a permanent that leaves the battlefield cease to exist.
- If a token creature is exiled, it will cease to exist. It won't return to the battlefield.
- If a paired creature is exiled, the pair will break. However, the creature entering the battlefield again will cause its soulbond ability (or the soulbond ability of the creature it was paired with, as appropriate) to trigger again. This may cause the creature to pair with the creature it was previously paired with or another creature.
- If a creature you've gained control of temporarily (perhaps due to the ability of Zealous Conscripts) is exiled and returns to the battlefield under your control, you will control that creature indefinitely.
- A Melded creature will return to the battlefield as two separate creatures.

April marked the start of the year for schools and many companies in Japan — a month when many newcomers from overseas arrive in the country, just in time for the cherry blossom season.
If you are one of these new arrivals, a lot will be fresh and unfamiliar, and that, unfortunately, applies to the problems you may face as well as the positive aspects of your new life here. Even long-term residents are not immune to complications related to their visa status, work, money, family and so on. With this in mind, I thought it would be timely to take this opportunity to share some tips on how to use legal services in Japan.
First, the national and local tiers of government offer a range of free counseling services in English and other languages. The Immigration Bureau operates a number of regional Immigration Information Centers (see No. 1 below) that you can call for general information and "one-stop" information centers in Shinjuku (2); Urawa, Chiba Prefecture; and Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. These centers can offer advice on a variety of issues, not just those related to immigration.
If you believe your human rights have been violated, whether it be related to discrimination, bullying, defamation or privacy issues on the Internet, you may want to consult with the Justice Ministry's Human Rights Counseling Offices for Foreigners (3). This service is also free.
If you work here, you are protected by Japanese labor law. If you have problems with wage payments, unfair dismissal or other employment-related issues, you can find information and advice at your nearest Labor Bureau (4).
Local municipalities also offer free consultation services. If you live in Tokyo, the links prepared by the Tokyo Employment Service Center for Foreigners should be useful, as they show available consultation services in Tokyo at national, regional and local levels (5).
If you are interested in retaining a lawyer, there are a number of English-speaking attorneys at private firms. Even if you do not know any English-speaking lawyers, there are several local bar associations that provide legal counseling for foreigners at ¥5,400 (tax included) for 30 minutes with free interpretation (6). Some even provide a completely free service.
If your income is lower than a certain level, you are eligible for free legal advice from the Japan Legal Support Center (7).
If you are a resident with mid- to long-term residential status and satisfy certain means-test criteria (8), you can receive a legal-aid loan to retain a lawyer for civil and family cases. Legal aid is available as long as lawyers are contracted with the Japan Legal Support Center, and provided that they are willing to take on legal-aid cases. Even if you do not have a legitimate residential status, you may still be able to receive legal aid in some cases.
Regardless of your residential status, if you are unfortunate enough to be arrested, you can consult a lawyer once for free. In such a situation, you simply need to tell a police officer to call the duty attorney (tōban bengoshi) and the officer will contact a local bar association and get them to call a lawyer (9). The lawyer will bring an interpreter if you do not speak Japanese. A family member or friend of the arrested individual can also call a local bar association directly and ask them to send a lawyer.
Masami Kittaka is an attorney with the Foreigners and International Service Section at Tokyo Public Law Office, which handles a wide range of cases involving foreigners in the Tokyo area (www.t-pblo.jp/fiss) Phone 03-6809-6200. Send your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
