Lauren Sallan is a 'next generation' paleobiologist applying cutting-edge developments in 'Big Data' analytics and experimental biomechanics to reveal how evolution happens at the largest scales (macroevolution). Lauren uses the vast fossil record of fishes as a deep time database, mining to find out why some species persist and diversify while others die off. She has used these methods to discover the lost, largest, 'sixth' mass extinction of vertebrates, the end-Devonian Hangenberg event (359 million years ago), reveal how fish heads changed first during their rise to dominance, and show how invasions by new predators can shift prey diversity at global scales. Lauren's research has been published in high-profile venues such as Science, PNAS, and Current Biology. It has also been featured in The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, Forbes, the New Scientist, the Discovery Channel, the textbook Vertebrate Paleontology by Michael Benton and the popular science book The Ends of the World by Peter Brannen (Harper Collins). Lauren was given the 2015 Stensio Award for top early career paleoichthyologist, selected for the 2018 Distinguished Service Award for Early Achievement by the University of Chicago, and chosen as a TED Fellow in 2017 and a TED Senior Fellow in 2019 (1 of 10 worldwide) . Her TED Talk on how species survive mass extinctions was featured on the TED website and has received over 1 million views.
Research Interests
The Sallan Lab is broadly interested in how global events, environmental change and ecological interactions affect long-term evolution (macroevolution) in early vertebrates (half of vertebrate history), ray-finned fishes (half of vertebrate diversity) and marine ecosystems through time. We test macroevolutionary hypotheses using methods ranging from "big data" quantitative approaches and mathematical modeling to biomechanics experiments to phylogenetic systematics and morphological description.

I've been thinking a lot lately about discipleship and ministry and life.
It all started a few years back when one of my colleagues in ministry, Pastor Loretta Sunderland, and I were looking over the fruit of the youth ministry we both so zealously engaged in over the years and we didn't see much of it. Sure there were the exceptions to the rule and the few that had more grounding at home or with other mentors, but by and large, we didn't see much fruit in the lives of the students we were graduating from high school and beyond. This was disconcerting for us because we both thought we were doing a great job at having an engaging and meaningful Youth group on Wednesday nights and a lot of fun activities beyond youth group nights. But it wasn't happening.
So we started to think about how to disciple a core group of students who were hungry all while maintaining the status quo with the normal youth group on Wednesdays. This strategy ultimately failed because we ended up creating two separate Youth groups: one for the good kids and one for the bad kids! One for the spiritual ones (in-reach) and another for the hopefully spiritual ones (out-reach). This was not good because the out-reach group needed the disciples of Jesus to be around them, but the in-reach group didn't want to go to the out-reach group and felt secure and comfortable in their own group.
So lately, I've been thinking a lot about what discipleship looks like and how to go about engaging both groups (spiritual and non-spiritual). One thing that has helped the last couple of years (especially this year) was a spoken expectation on Wednesday nights that if you are hungry for the things of God then this is a welcome place for you to feast on Jesus or at least sample what Jesus Christ has to offer. We have since lost the ones who came JUST for fun or JUST to hang out with their friends. We do have fun, but that's because everyone who comes to Youth now is either really hungry, or at the very least, a little curious about what this Christianity thing is all about.
Unknowingly, we have created an environment for both spiritually-minded and seekers alike (both the in-reach and the out-reach) to engage in the things of God without having to create two different groups with two different aims.
After all, why would a seeker want a group just for them? If a seeker is just around a bunch of other seekers, how will he or she ever get a real picture of what they are looking for if the audience is all seekers and not actively engaged disciples of Jesus? If, however, a group of actively engaged disciples of Jesus are learning how to follow Christ and are doing it according to how Jesus modeled it, then seekers who are actually seeking should feel entirely comfortable and challenged to be in a group of growing disciples rather than an environment catered just to them.
At least that's what we've experienced this year at Youth. We have focused on growing disciples of Jesus and have a wide-open posture of welcoming anyone in who is hungry to learn more about God (no matter where they are on the spectrum of Christianity: dead, infant, child, young adult, or parent).
In the past we have engaged with curriculum, but it hasn't produced disciples.
This year, however, I am noticing that we (all because of the Holy Spirit's work) are encouraging and exhorting disciples of Jesus to engage in Jesus-centered spirituality as well as live it out. We are actually seeing the fruit of Gospel growth in both qualitative and quantitative ways (not the quantity our group used to be, we have less than half of the numbers we used to run).
We are learning what it means to have a plan, but not be limited by a curriculum or a certain structure (or expectation of what that structure even needs to be). In essence, we are learning what it means to make disciples in the same way Jesus did: asking hungry people to follow Him, studying the text Jesus knew so well, and engage in this kind of Jesus-like life together in community and on mission for Him.
This takes intention on our part as leaders. After all, if we're not growing in the LORD ourselves, then how can we possibly ask students to follow Jesus with any integrity.
So that's what we're doing at Youth group at Hayward Wesleyan Church:

To all my wonderful friends...
Like I said in my previous post, people have been unable to comment on my blog. As all of you know, October is when I lost Zoe and I was unable to recieve much support this year. I would appreciate it if those of you who may have tried to comment on my posts at that time, could please try an re-post them. It would really mean a lot to me. I spent some time being upset and believing that most of you just didn't care anymore. Now I know that in fact, some of you may not have been able to comment at all. Love you guys (you know who you are)

Patrick fit bulging duffel bags into her rusty Mazda, shut the hatchback, then stepped away as she reversed and turned.
The car crunched down the gravel driveway, red taillights glowing in accusation.

David Bullock has not received any gifts yet
Hello David, sorry for the late reply - I had not visited this site for years. Unfortunately, I do not have tabs for Man of Constant Sorrow - the video you saw was recorded by somebody who had requested me to teach them the song - I only played it as I remebered it, so it is probably not the way Dan Tyminski played it. Anyway, I hope the video was helpful. Best regards, Ralph.

- What is MODY?
- MODY Registry
- Do I have MODY?
- Contact Us
|MODY stands for Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young. It is a type of diabetes that is caused by a single gene abnormality (mutation) and is also known as monogenic diabetes. MODY can often be misdiagnosed as the common Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes as they share similar features. Determining the gene mutation in MODY is important to confirm the diagnosis.
|Mutation in more than 20 genes have been shown to cause MODY. The most common ones include HNF4A, GCK and HNF1A (MODY-1,-2 and -3) as well as KCNJ11 and ABCC8 (can cause diabetes as young as 1 year old or less, i.e. neonatal diabetes). These genes directly affect the ability of the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas to sense, produce and release insulin, which is required to control sugar levels in our body.
The KTPH-NHG MODY Registry is set up as part of our research study to identify individuals with MODY and to provide a genetic diagnosis for this group of individuals. A genetic diagnosis of MODY may aid doctors in providing the best treatment for these individuals (e.g. switching from insulin to tablets).
News Feature
Patient with rare diabetes tracked with new registry (The Sunday Times, 15/10/2017)Related publication
A preliminary study to evaluate the strategy of combining clinical criteria and next generation sequencing (NGS) for the identification of monogenic diabetes among multi-ethnic Asians.
Find out more about our research study on MODY at our registry page now !
Targeting primarily the population-catchment of NHG- Yishun campus, the KTPH-NHG MODY registry is set up with the following primary aims:
Your participation will help us understand the genetic basis of monogenic diabetes, and also answer questions such as the number of people who are affected in our local population, the type of treatment that is best for each different genetic type, and other medical problems that might arise due to the presence of such gene mutations. These information will help doctors understand the genetic basis of the disease and offer suitable treatment to the patients.
You may have MODY if you have any of the following features:

After a long couple of months (mainly more for my dad), the play kitchen is now open!
Let's start with the beginning. I knew I wanted a kitchen for Kyler because I LOVED mine as a kid but I wasn't finding the exact color scheme I wanted. I saw this corner kitchen from Kid Kraft and loved the green but I simply did not have room for it.
The more I searched and searched the internet, the more DIY kitchens I came across. I called Daddy-O up and asked if he wanted a new project. His response was "Sure, I am always looking for a project." I whipped something up on CAD and sent it his way. This was in mid November and my only goal was to have it done by her birthday as this was going to be her "big" gift.
This is my first draft.
I wasn't in love with it so I tweaked a few things and ended up with this:
I would like to think of myself as the Architect/Designer, Chris as the Engineer (he put everything to scale for me and made my CAD drawing actually work), and my dad as the General Contractor. The three of us tackled the playroom and we were going to tackle the play kitchen next.
After a good month of sitting on the project, my dad got to work. Within a few days he had this… amazing right?
One Sunday, Chris and I headed over and did the first round of paint.
Later that week…
Add some tile back splash and finish it up and ta-da! I can't get over how talented my dad is. Everything is top-notch and just looks amazing.
Couple of answers to some questions you may have:
- Yes, that is stainless steel. It is a contact paper and actually has the brush strokes in it like a real fridge.
- The fridge is magnetic.
- We used a dog bowl as a sink and found a cheap bar facet.
- Yes, that is real tile back splash.
- The hood is made out of metal. One of the perks of your dad owning an Air Conditioning business and sheet metal shop 🙂
- The lime green paint is called Japanese Fern by Behr.
- I made the microwave "buttons" on the computer and printed them out on computer paper. I then used Mod Podge to glue and seal them on!
- And although it was DIY, it was not cheap (thanks Dad!).
I have gotten a lot of questions about the dimensions of this kitchen. See below!
- Total Length: 55″
- Height of the fridge: 36.5″
- Max Height: 40.5″
- Height of Countertop: 20″
- Depth: 13″
Kyler's birthday rolled around and we gave her the new kitchen! She loved it!
Since then, we have added all of the fun play food and accessories she got for her birthday! It makes a great addition to her playroom and I hope she likes it for years to come! A HUGE thank you to my Dad (and Mom) for helping and taking the lead on the kitchen.

So what's a safe total in ODIs these days? The Australians will state that even 376 is inadequate, after a rousing match against Sri Lanka at the Sydney Cricket Ground. True, they won by 64 runs, a hefty enough margin, but who would have bet against the Lankans winning the match when Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathew were going great guns?
Unfortunately for Lanka, Chandimal pulled a hamstring just when it appeared that the bowling would wilt. He walked off the field retired hurt, and the match veered irretrievably Australia's way. A few more overs of him in the middle could have possibly made for a different script.
Mahela Jayawardene's needless run-out also contributed to some extent to the defeat. It was rank bad error of judgment by a senior pro when there was really no need for sharp singles. But Chandimal's dismissal hurt the most.
He was in such blazing form that he not only helped his side recover from the double blow of Jayawardene and the remarkable Sangakkara who scored his third successive ton, but looked like he might finish off the much well before 50 overs had been bowled.
Chandimal's half century came off only 22 deliveries, and it seemed then that he might upstage Glen Maxwell who had hit a blasted a rousing 51-ball century to take Australia to their imposing total. But fate dealt him and Sri Lanka a cruel blow.
The result of the match was important to the extent that it determined which team would finish in the top two of Pool A. Otherwise both Australia and Sri Lanka were assured of a place in the quarter-finals even before taking the field.
A whopping 688 were scored in the day. The intrepidity of the run chase and the derring-do in strokeplay became the compelling story. It also raises the question: is there a limit to the number of runs that can be scored in an innings these days?
Since dot balls are anathema in T20, the newer breed of batsmen are growing up in an environment where improvisation is not merely desirable, but imperative.
South Africa have already notched up two scores in excess of 400, one of them against the West Indies, which has a fairly good bowling attack. India, in the three innings they have batted first and played out 50 overs have made more than 300. Sri Lanka, before Sunday's game, had chased down 300-plus losing only one wicket!
Better bats, stronger players and fast outfields have obviously contributed to this run-mayhem, and this has been discussed at length. But the biggest change has come from the newfound uninhibitedness of batsmen in the T20 era.
It's almost as if the shortest format has helped batsmen shrug off their compunctions about technique and risk-taking. Since dot balls are anathema in T20, the newer breed of batsmen are growing up in an environment where improvisation is not merely desirable, but imperative.
This has compelled a change in mindset of players from an earlier era too, for example AB de Villiers and Kumar Sangakkara to name two who have evolved their game brilliantly to fit any format. But while these are exceptional talents, T20 power hitters have also supplanted themselves in the ODI format.
Ten or twelve years back, batsmen like Maxwell and Chandimal would have been reprimanded by coaches for hitting the ball in the air even in ODIs, perhaps even lost their places. The construct of the 50-over format demanded some circumspection, some 'settling in', with the big hitting coming in the slog or death overs.
That thought process is now passé. The two batting power plays and the new field restrictions have decreased the risk quotient to a big extent, but it is the mental approach of batsmen, backed by greater physical strength, which marks the ODI out as a different game from the one which was played 2-3 decades back.
Where scores of 250 at one time were considered defendable, nowadays teams target that many runs in 25-30 overs if too many wickets have not been lost in the first 20. Unless the pitch and conditions are so heavily loaded in favour of bowlers, big scoring matches have become the norm rather than the exception.
So then, what's the 'new' safe score? Go figure!

Kwanzaa Lesson Plan
Songs, Fingerplays, and Group Time Information
Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday that celebrates the harvest and teaches principles that go far beyond ethnic boundaries. An African-American holiday of Kwanzaa is a holiday in which people celebrate their African heritage. (Dec 26 – Jan 1) The holiday is based on traditional "first fruits" or harvest.
* Share experiences of children who have celebrated Kwanzaa.
Talk about these Kwanzaa facts:
– Kwanzaa was created in 1966 in the U.S. by Maulana Karenga, a professor. The name Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits of the harvest," comes from the African language of Swahili. Many of the new words you will hear associated with Kwanzaa are Swahili words.
– During Kwanzaa seven candles are placed in a kinara (kee-nar-rah), which is a wooden candle holder. For each day of Kwanzaa, one candle is lighted to celebrate a special principle. These principles come from beliefs held by
families in many parts of Africa.
– The seven principles of Kwanzaa are: unity, self-determination, responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
– On each of the seven days, families will participate in an activity which symbolizes that day's principle. For example, on the sixth day of Kwanzaa people make up dances to perform for family and friends, showing creativity.
– Kwanzaa gifts, called zawadi (zah-wah-dee), are made by hand. Gifts symbolizing African ancestry. Some examples are: fabric dolls with black-button eyes, homemade story books with African folk tales, and necklaces strung with specked beads. These zawadi are made and given by adults and children alike on Kwanzaa.
Use a small Christmas tree to make a "Kwanzaa bush" for your celebration. Let
the children decorate the bush with chains made from strips of red, green, and
black construction paper. Or cut geometric shapes out of black construction
paper and let the children glue on small pieces of red and green gift wrap to
make ornaments for hanging. If desired, let them sprinkle glitter on their
ornaments while the glue is still wet.
VARIATION: Instead of using a real tree, cut a large Christmas tree shape out
of green construction paper and mount it on a wall or bulletin board. Then
attach the children's decorations with tape or glue.
Kwanzaa's Here…
Three Blind Mice
Red, green, black,
Red, green, black.
Kwanzaa's here,
Kwanzaa's here.
The decorations are quite a sight,
We light a candle every night,
The holiday is filled with light.
Kwanzaa's here.
Kwanzaa Necklaces…
Dye 3 groups of Mostaciolli noodles red, green, and black with alcohol and food coloring (you can get black food coloring at craft stores in the cake decorating section). Let dry. Give each child a piece of yarn with a small piece of masking tape wrapped around one end. Let each child string the Kwanzaa colored noodles.
Kwanzaa Placemats…
Let the children try this version of African cloth dying to make placemats for snack time. Have them dribble rubber cement in designs on sheets of white construction paper. Allow the glue to dry for about half an hour. Then have the children brush paint over the glue. When the paint has dried, let the children peel off the rubber cement to reveal the designs they created.
Zebra Masks…
Paint the back sides of paper plates with vertical black stripes. When the paint has dried, glue on nose and ear shapes. Then glue short strips of tissue paper or crepe paper around the edges of the plates. (To keep the paint from smearing, glue ears and tissue paper strips to the unpainted sides of the masks.)
Leopard Masks…
Paint back sides of paper plates yellow. When the paint has dried use black felt-tip markers or black paint to make spots. Glue on nose and ear shapes and add tissue paper strips.
Elephant Masks…
Paint the back sides of paper plates gray. Glue on trunks, ears and tissue paper strips. When the children have finished, display their masks on a wall or bulletin board. Or attach tongue depressors for handles and let the children use them
for dramatic play.

KIGALI - In observance of this year's International Peace Day theme "Make Your Voice Heard", 70 students from the Akilah Institute for Women, will hold a peace walk around Kigali City to promote peace, unity and non-violence amongst Rwandans.
Commonly referred to as 'Peace Day', the holiday, was established by a UN resolution in 1981 to provide an opportunity for individuals, organisations, and nations around the globe to create practical acts of peace on a shared date.
According to Carol Rugege, the director of admissions at the institute, Akilah students aim to set a positive example among fellow Rwandans, especially the youth, inspiring others to spread peace and goodwill and continue to build a culture of harmony.
According to a statement, the students will on Wednesday September 21, gather at Rwanda Development Board offices and walk to the Kacyiru roundabout near KBC.
The walk will begin at 12:30pm at RDB; and at 13:00, students and Akilah staff will join other citizens around the roundabout to join the world in a Minute of Silence, that will be held globally in observance of world peace.
Florence Mukundwa, a Hospitality Management Diploma student at the institute, described the day as important to Rwandans saying that it signifies the existence of peace in the country.
"Rwanda was once a place where peace was nonexistent. Seventeen years later, Rwanda is a brand new country, full of opportunities and demonstrating an impressive track record of peace and unity," she said.
"There are many achievements in the areas of infrastructure, universal primary education, and good governance; above them all, however, is the record of peace Rwandans now enjoy. We want to come together to celebrate and sustain it."

Camera Interaction in Processing
Within Processing there are numerous examples of camera interaction that can be used and edited to create various different forms of camera interaction. Below are the video examples that are given:
This could be a good basis for ideas for my interactive design, and then I could build the idea
The most important part of camera interaction is the code above – this loads the camera for the information to be captured from. The possibilities with camera interaction for almost endless, see my Interactive Design Ideas post for my ideas of what I have come up with for camera interaction.
For example, this is what the Mirror 2 example looks like when run,
but it can be altered so easily, such as in the image below I changed the colour by changing the number of the background colour, and I also changed the 'rect' to an 'ellipse', making the pixels circles instead of squares.
From this, I am going to go through the examples already given and try and edit to try and create a really interesting and different example. One of my ideas is to capture a face and link it to my bouncing ball example, so it is essentially a bouncing face, this will be my next Processing task.

Luker will again portray Marian the Librarian in two concerts of the Meredith Willson musical March 19 and 20 with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. Arkansas Repertory Theatre's Robert Hupp will direct the evenings; show time is 8 PM at the Robinson Center Music Hall. The Music Man opened on Broadway in 1957 starring Robert Preston and Barbara Cook. Both actors won Tony Awards for their work (the musical also nabbed the Tony for Best Musical, beating West Side Story; New Girl in Town; Oh, Captain!; and Jamaica), and Preston repeated his role in the 1962 film opposite Shirley Jones. The classic score includes such tunes as "My White Knight," "Goodnight My Someone," "Lida Rose," "Till There Was You," "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Gary, Indiana," "Marian the Librarian," "The Wells Fargo Wagon," "Trouble" and "The Sadder But Wiser Girl." A recent TV version featured Matthew Broderick and current Wicked star Kristin Chenoweth.
Rebecca Luker was most recently on The Great White Way in the Tony winning revival of Nine. She starred opposite Craig Bierko in the acclaimed revival of The Music Man, garnering Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for her role as Marian. Luker also appeared with Michael Cerveris and Judy Kuhn in the Kennedy Center production of Stephen Sondheim's Passion, and her other theatrical credits include roles in The Sound of Music, Show Boat, The Secret Garden and The Phantom of the Opera.
Tickets for The Music Man, priced $15-$50, are available by visiting the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra website at www.arkansassymphony.org.

The healthcare industry is naturally rich with data -- clinical, patient, claim, hospital system, financial, pharmacy and, most recently, data from wearable technology.
It's clear that analyzing this data collectively can drastically improve patient care and both clinical and financial outcomes, but how to actually collect, read, integrate, understand and leverage the data remains a broken process.
From a technology perspective, data is sourced from a myriad of systems with varied levels of sophistication, accessibility, transparency and quality. Systems designed decades ago prior to the advent of Big Data are still prevalent, and pulling data from them can range from merely difficult to downright arcane. On top of that, between payers, providers and patients, the opportunities to combine data sets can far exceed the willingness or ability of all parties to collaborate. Add to that the poor state of healthcare data integration tools, and you have quite a challenge to make sense of the healthcare puzzle.
The industry is faced with the challenge of enabling these vast and varied systems to talk to one another in a meaningful way that generates actionable value. So, where do we stand when it comes to facing data integration demands, and where can we improve?
We're still sorely lacking when it comes to addressing integration. Large legacy software systems and the practice of manually collecting information is just the tip of the iceberg. Sadly, much of the healthcare analytics story still remains buried in hidden spreadsheet formulas. To really solve the data dilemma, we need to rethink our approach to integrating data by first integrating teams, integrating concepts and integrating technologies. Only then can we meaningfully integrate data.
Integrating Teams – Team design is one of the largest hindrances to quality data integration. Too often, IT teams are tasked with collecting data for an entirely separate analytics team, who then needs to provide reports to drive a separate clinical transformation team. Those who use the data are too far disconnected from the data collection process, while those tasked with collecting the data frequently have a poor understanding of the business need or even the source of the data itself. There are definite silos throughout the data lifecycle process. Not only are teams operating under singular mindsets, the points of data transfer or handoff can be sloppy and important details can be missed. Skill sets for data retrieval, organization, interpretation and action must become intertwined in order for data integration to improve. Crossover of team members can also help mitigate the lost efficiencies.
Without the full picture or people available to connect the dots, there is a huge margin for misinterpretation or missed opportunities. Building teams that include skilled professionals who understand and have access to the full picture will result in quicker and more effective advancements. We need good, accurate, timely data from all different parts of the business.
Integrating Concepts – Teams of data professionals will universally agree that your systems don't talk to one another well because they model data differently, and lack solid relational keys to tie similar concepts across systems. As a common example, each data system will contain its own definition of what constitutes a person, an eligible member, and a patient. And each system represents these concepts with, at best, their own internally created unique keys, or at worst, no meaningful key at all. Either way, important concepts don't map cleanly across systems. There are techniques for data unification across systems, but they often require system experts, external key lookups, a sophisticated data integration team, and constant grooming. Proper data warehousing techniques can help, but frequently the grander promises of a full-on Enterprise Data Warehouse have overshadowed the simpler and smaller utilitarian wins such as this.
Integrating Technology – Even with more comprehensive teams and data model concepts we still need technology for these vast data sets to talk with one another. Currently, we're dealing with legacy systems that can't handle the magnitude of data being generated, or collaborate effectively with new software. On top of these outdated systems, the integration tools the industry has adopted serve general-purpose data integration needs, requiring custom build-outs to address the specific demands of the healthcare system. Tooling that effectively and naturally understands and validates industry coding, provides meaningful data profiling, componentizes processing for reuse, and can handle the sheer volume of healthcare data is a must. Off-the-shelf general-purpose data integration tools may be appealing at the time of purchase, but require a huge investment in building up the missing library of established healthcare data expertise, making the hard path from data, to knowledge, to wisdom that much longer.
Data integration demands can't be solved in one fell swoop, but if the cornerstones of people, processes and technology are each properly advanced, we can effectively begin to see more immediate, effective and impactful outcomes from healthcare data analysis.

LM317 Voltage Calculator
A handy online output voltage calculator for the LM317, LM338, and other linear voltage regulators
The LM317 (1) (LM317T), and high current LM338 (2) (LM338T) are voltage regulators which can take an input voltage of 3-40 Volts DC, and output a fixed output voltage from 1.2 to 37 Volts DC.
Output Voltage Tables for Stock R1 and R2 ValuesWhere a very accurate voltage is not required, it is much easier to use standard (stock) resistors to put together an LM317 or LM338 voltage regulator. Below are tables of output voltages for different combinations of the most commonly found resistors.

Zhanzheng de Guang
Sarna News
The Zhanzheng de Guang (or War of Light) was a pro-Capellan Confederation terrorist organization that incited insurrection on several Sarna March worlds prior to Operation Guerrero.
Though active after the Fourth Succession War[1], the organization supposedly founded by Xu Ning first came to widespread notice when it attacked police units and garrison forces on Aldebaran, Zurich, Styk, and Gan Singh in 3056. Throughout the rest of the year members continued their attacks, expanding to Acamar, Fletcher, and Nanking. As 3056 and 3057 continued, the Zhanzheng de Guang members committed bombings, bank robberies, and other acts in order to strain the local government's law enforcement capabilities. As soon as Operation Guerrero commenced, the Zhanzheng de Guang stepped up their efforts, and took control of Zurich, establishing the "People's Liberation Party."[2]
The Zhanzheng de Guang prior to 3054 was an semi-organized and undisciplined group of criminals. In 3054 Maskirovka agents landed on multiple worlds and provided training and guidance.[3][4] The Zurich cell was particularly effective; They overthrew the planetary government.[5][6] By contrast, the Fletcher based organization tried to overthrow the planetary government but lacked any external support, largely destroying the organization on that world.[7] In 3067 the Maskirovka continued to fund Zhanzheng de Guang cells that still operated in the Chaos March.[8]
Prior to the Jihad the Manei Domini had managed to eliminate Zhanzheng de Guang cells on Keid, Hall, Fletcher, Caph, Bryant, Sheratan, and Liberty.[9]
In 3128 the Chancellor would repeat these tactics to trigger a revolt on Liao.[10]

Ok, I met my friend from Japan and it seems that he is not against the idea of helping me with two of my crazy projects. The first one is still secret, but it is almost purely business oriented. I might start my own tiny company soon if things work out – as for now, it would be me full time and two part timers, one of them in Japan as our agent. The chance for success is small, but who knows… sometimes even a blind cat catches a mouse, right? Especially when it is armed with laser rifle and heat detection device… or has a vibro blade equipped mecha or… well, you get the point 😉
The other crazy project is my movie script of course. My friend said he would help me translate it to Japanese, as their screenwriting formatting is different from European and American and could market it to few productions there. He also suggested me to write the main two characters as a double-role, but I do not like the idea. The main chars are so different it would be quite difficult to perform it believably, especially for a less experienced actor.
As for now, I am done with the outline more or less, so I started writing sort of synopsis. I have the main characters sketched, I have the world and it's basic laws (yes, it is a normal modern world, just with something more behind what we, or the main char at the start, usually see). The story flows quite well. I can see, because I am getting flashes of scenes and dialogues, which I do not unless I am happy with the basics. I am also starting to sketch minor characters and some filler scenes.
This story is somehow difficult, because I want it to start as a comedy and then slowly shift to drama with an bittersweet end. I do not have any problem writing pure comedy or drama, but the crucial and most difficult part comes with merging them. It's all about the timing and very accurate planning. The comedy can not just switch to drama quickly… and in the dramatic part, every piece of the comedial part must have a meaning and explanation. The "Oh, I see.. that is why they were doing it that way…" moment. I do not like useless gags. Also the comedial introduction of the characters must be long enough to make the viewer like the characters for what they are, but not bore them or keep them awake only on cliche's. And once again, the transition must be slow building of the drama and smooth blurring from funny movie into something much much deeper.
Anyway, this story will be marketed directly to one special person in Japan (ok, ok, 2, but written with one in my mind as the main character) and I am writing the story and chars to fit them. At the start, I envisioned the person as one character, but it looks like he will fit the second one more, but I found out that if I change the start and POV a little, it works again as it should. (Oh, the drama… don't I sound all secretive and dramatic and all just now? Give me a sec, I will don my dramatic satin cape and white half-mask. Oooohhh, the muuuuusic of the niiiiiight. Ehm… *cough cough *… forget it.)
I thought I would share at least something with you so here is one quote, which may, or may not be said during the ending. I hope you like it.
"And as I was lying in blood, life escaping out of my body together with my blood pouring on the cold surface of the street, I got the most expensive gift I could ever receive. A pair of ruby wings torn from the fragile body of a crying angel. My miracle."

Jokes in Urdu
The effectiveness of Jokes in Urdu for making the Pakistani nation happier!
Jokes in Urdu are actually the presentation of a comedy in which words are utilized inside a particular and well-defined narrative structure. Their purpose is to make individuals laugh out loud and is normally not intended to be paid attention to.

Back in March, Ericsson proudly proclaimed that it would be able to make 21Mbps look like child's play by reaching 28Mbps before the dawn of 2010, and now the company is tooting its horn once more after demonstrating 42Mbps equipment to common folk over in Stockholm, Sweden. Reportedly, it's the planet's first 42Mbps HSPA achievement on commercial products, and better still, it's now available for mass deployment. Unfortunately, details beyond that were few and far between -- we're guessing Ericsson just needed an avenue to gloat -- but we suspect carriers like Telstra will be pushing out their own releases once the upgrades start rolling out. Granted, we've seen mobile data rates tickle the 42Mbps mark before, but those showcases were hardly ready for public consumption. Meanwhile, Verizon and AT&T are spending bundles arguing about their comparatively glacial "3G networks." Way to go, America.

About Us
As the historic properties in downtown Lindsborg were improved, the owner decided to bring a new hospitality concept to Lindsborg--vacation rentals. Lindsborg has had motels and B&Bs for many years. Vacation rentals aren't necessarily better than a chain motel, but they are another increasingly popular option. If you have never stayed in a vacation rental, then try Trädhuset, Vetehuset or Stenhuset now!
Investor Brings New Life
to Lindsborg's History
Salina Journal, Sunday, October 30, 2016 Explore Lindsborg, Autumn & Winter 2016-2017
About ten years ago, Denver resident Jim Prugh was looking for his next adventure. As a chemical engineer, he worked in many small towns in the US and overseas in Norway. He was open to something completely different yet somehow familiar and he wasn't sure what it could be.
He discovered it—Lindsborg—during a family cross-country drive. Prugh found that his talent for overseeing projects worked surprisingly well n the detailed work of restoring historic buildings.
Prugh owns six historic buildings downtown and a nearby two-bedroom house. Each is more than a century old. Combined, the structures feature a mix of residential lofts, retail space and vacation rentals. Prugh's buildings have helped create a burst of new downtown businesses—clothing designer, toy store, ceramist, coffee roastery among them—as well as new housing options.
Prugh's strategy? Infuse thought and research, quality material and energy efficiency into historic buildings. His goal? Build economic value that can be seen immediately as well as for generations to come. His working premise? As a historic preservationist, he has just one chance to get everything right the first time.
"I never plane on having a portfolio of buildings on the National Register of Historic Places," Prugh chuckled. "I just started with one building to see if I could make it happen. Lots of other people have done this around the country, so how hard could it be?" It was more challenging than he imagined, but certainly feasible.
What did he see in Lindsborg that made him experiment the first time?
One important thing was apparent: "plenty of buildings with good bones—buildings that he the essence, architecture and local history worth preserving."
Another reason was, and still is, the surprising local vibe—education, arts, and accomplished residents.
"It's difficult to describe," Prugh said, recalling how he and his spouse Diane Fatheree tried to put what they noticed into words. "We both looked at each other and tilted our heads a little. What is this doing in a small town in the middle of Kansas? I wanted to be part of this community."
Having learned from his first historic preservation project at 105 North Main Street Prugh felt emboldened. He resolved to gather a team that could help him with a second project. Than a third, a fourth.
"I knew from my engineering background that the right team, with expertise and patience, make the improbable possible," he noted. "I enjoy working visually, so I see and design in my imagination. As an engineer, I relish working within established rules, such as the state and federal requirements for historic preservation. It's fun to generate new designs inside the confines of the roof, foundation, floor plan and four walls of a very old building."
Enter experience historic renovator and craftsman Brian Freeman who moved from Goodland six years ago. He and his spouse Victoria Freeman learned of Prugh's projects shortly before their move to Lindsborg. Right place, right time, right skills. The Freemans brought their experiences and sensibilities to the table, and sought out other professionals, in Lindsborg and across central Kansas, who would add their creative, even artistic sensibilities to Prugh's downtown buildings.
"Every week Brian and I analyze the broadest concepts and the tiniest details. How will the electric system be installed safely to code? Which blend of mortar is best for repointing Lindsborg's soft clay brick? Which water-based stain is best for the refinished floors? You found a vintage advertisement for overalls on the brick wall of The Ivory Thimble? How cool is that!"
Getting acquainted with Lindsborg's residents was crucial to Prugh's ongoing efforts—a process of building mutual trust that Lindsborg undertook with Prugh.
"I grew up in small towns, so I know that it takes consistent personal contact over time. I always try to be myself. As an introvert, I force myself to talk more than I'm used to. However, after assuring everyone that I'm mostly Swedish Lindsborg gave me a chance. I've run with it for nearly a decade now."
"Of everything I've built," Prugh said, "I'm most proud of my reputation."
While the record keeping required to generate historic tax credits is not insignificant, Prugh enjoys the daily intellectual challenge of breathing new life into Lindsborg's historic buildings.
"It's been a blast," he admitted with a big smile. Then his smile turned to a look of determination. "I've said this before, but now I'm really serious. I'm not buying any more buildings!"

Macklemore can now add Jews to the growing list of racial and moral groups he's "inadvertently" ticked off.
The "Thrift Shop" rapper forgot to "check his privilege" before donning what appeared to be a stereotypical Jewish costume (including a hooked nose) to perform in his hometown of Seattle Friday.
Check out @macklemore performing "Thrift Shop" as a stereotypical Jewish man. So much for same love, eh? http://t.co/yZ19QmxIV0—
Ian de Borja (@idb1204) May 19, 2014
Being that we live in an age where social justice is only a camera phone click away, it didn't take long for Mack's Elders of Zion routine to cause a splash online.
.@macklemore, first you trick people into thinking you're a rapper, now you trick them into thinking you're Jewish? http://t.co/3rtaE4GHje—
Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) May 18, 2014
Leading the call for action was Canadian actor Seth Rogen, who took to Twitter to voice his outrage.
"First you trick people into thinking you're a rapper, now you trick them into thinking you're Jewish?" the Neighbors star opined.
Yes, Seattle, this is Macklemore. "Went to Costume Display today and I feel like a man for the first time" #empvivid http://t.co/pOnoGUVtpK—
Lynn Jacobson (@lynnjacobson) May 17, 2014
When news of the furor got back to the Grammy-winning 30-year-old, he too took to social media for a classic, 'Who, me?" routine.
"A fake witches nose, wig, and beard = random costume. Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody," Mackelmore wrote. Leading Rogen to point out the obvious: "If I told someone to put together an anti Semitic Jew costume, they'd have that exact shopping list."
.@macklemore really?? Because if I told someone to put together an anti Semitic Jew costume, they'd have that exact shopping list.—
Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) May 19, 2014
UPDATE: Macklemore posted an apology and explanation on his website:
"On Friday night we had a surprise show at the EMP Museum in Seattle. Earlier in the day I thought it would be fun to dress up in a disguise and go incognito to the event, so that I could walk around unnoticed and surprise the crowd with a short performance. I picked up a bunch of fake mustaches and beards and grabbed a left over wig from our recent trip to Japan," he wrote. "As it turns out the fake noses they sell at the costume store are usually big (my nose didn't fit most of them). So I ended up with a big witch nose. I went with a black beard, because that's the furthest color from my natural hair. Disguise was the intention. I personally thought I looked very ambiguous in terms of any "type" of person. Some people there thought I looked like Ringo, some Abe Lincoln. If anything I thought I looked like Humpty Hump with a bowl cut.
"The character I dressed up as on Friday had no intended cultural identity or background," he continued. "I wasn't attempting to mimic any culture, nor resemble one. A "Jewish stereotype" never crossed my mind.
My intention was to dress up and surprise the people at the show with a random costume and nothing more. Thus, it was surprising and disappointing that the images of a disguise were sensationalized leading to the immediate assertion that my costume was anti-Semetic. I acknowledge how the costume could, within a context of stereotyping, be ascribed to a Jewish caricature. I am here to say that it was absolutely not my intention, and unfortunately at the time I did not foresee the costume to be viewed in such regard. I'm saddened that this story, or any of my choices, would lead to any form of negativity."
For continuity's sake, Macklemore concluded by checking his privilege, noting the ordeal made him "hip to some incredible groups like the ADL and I encourage people to check the great work they, and others like them, do: http://www.adl.org"

Please remember coming out day is October 11th worldwide and October 12th in the United Kingdom.

Coming Out Telling Family Members
Living Openly on Your Terms
As you continue to live openly, here are some other points to consider:
■ It's important to remember that the journey from "Coming Out" to "Living Openly" is ongoing, and unfolds at your own pace.
■ Living openly is something that becomes easier with time, it will often take a little energy when you tell someone new even after you've been open for years — but it gets exponentially easier with time.
■ Living openly as a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or straight-supportive person can help to make it easier for young GLBT people who will follow this generation.
■ Living openly can be a passive expression of who you are — such as not hiding a rainbow or equality sticker or a loved one's photograph — or it can be a deliberate process involving a planned conversation or the decision to always be ready to affirm your sexual orientation or gender identity should a situation arise.
■ Living openly doesn't mean that the sole, or even primary, aspect of your identity is being GLBT. It means making this part of your life a natural piece of you — just like your age, height, hair color or personality.
■ Living openly lets other people know, especially those who are judgmental or biased, that their attitudes are theirs alone.
■ On a daily basis, you will face decisions about where, when and how to come out — or where, when and why not to. Always remember, this is your journey. You get to decide how to take it.
Being Open With Yourself
From birth, most of us are raised to think of ourselves as fitting into a certain mold. Our culture and our families teach us that we are "supposed" to be attracted to people of the opposite sex, and that boys and girls are supposed to look, act and feel certain ways. Few of us were told we might fall in love with someone of the same sex, or that we might have a gender identity that differs from the body into which we were born. That's why so many of us are scared, worried or confused when facing these truths.
Opening up to the possibility that you may be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or even just questioning means opening up to the idea that you're on a path that's your own. It's also why coming out and living ever more openly is a profoundly liberating experience.
In the end, and at the beginning, the first person you have to be open with is yourself.
Throughout the coming out process, it's normal to feel:
■ Scared
■ Confused
■ Vulnerable
■ Empowered
■ Exhilarated
■ Relieved
■ Proud
■ Uncertain
■ Brave
■ Affirmed

Government, a headless chicken:Jaitley counters Cong diatribe
June 09, 2011 10:35:17 AM
Staff Reporter | New Delhi
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley on Tuesday said that the Congress-led UPA Government will not survive its full five-year term. Holding that the Government was suffering from severe 'structural contradictions', Jaitley said the Government lacked statecraft and the Prime Minister was getting invisible.
"The Government does not know the art of ruling. This Government is going to fall before 2014," Jaitley said. Taking a dig at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the BJP leader said, "In any democratic country, the Prime Minister is the leader of the country. Here you (Prime Minister) are running the show on the structure of a private company. You have a professional CEO and the owner is somebody else." Jaitley was on Tuesday addressing a gathering of Delhi BJP at the Constitution Club in the Capital. He criticised the Prime Minister saying whenever there was any controversy, he tried to hush up the matter saying he was not aware.
In an apparent reference to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, he said the powers of the Government lie with a particular family, which does not have any accountability. "There is no power with the leadership of the Government. There is office but no authority. There is another leadership who has power but no accountability. And that is why this leadership keeps itself away from the responsibilities as per convenience. A Government cannot run like this. The Prime Minister is getting invisible," he lamented. Arguing his point, Jaitley said in the event of a mistake, blame is always put on others and it is said the family was very angry.
Terming the Government as a 'headless chicken', the former Union Minister said there were two views in the Government on how to deal with Ramdev's agitation. "One view was that there should be a political settlement of Ramdev's agitation through talks. That is why four Cabinet Ministers went to the airport. The other view was to handle it through police and by use of force. There was a 'fight among the FM and the HM'," he said referring to Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Home Minister P Chidambaram. "On one hand the government was holding talks with Ramdev and on the other hand, Digvijay kept levelling charges against Baba," he added.
Jaitley claimed Mukherjee had favoured a political settlement of the issue while Home Minister P Chidambaram wanted use of force. "The Finance Minister was of one view while the Home Minister had a different view. That is why I termed the Government as a headless chicken," he said. Slamming the Government for the crackdown on Ramdev and his followers, Jaitley said he never saw any incident where shelling of tear gas was resorted to on a crowd in a closed enclosure. "The Prime Minister's statement following the police atrocity was the most unfortunate. How can he justify bursting tear gas shells to a crowd in a closed enclosure. The official or the Minister who had decided about it does not have authority to remain in office," he maintained.
Jaitley also criticised the government for not giving permission to Anna Hazare to protest at Jantar Mantar, saying the people's right to protest is being undermined. He, however, insisted the more the voice of protest is suppressed in a democracy, the stronger it becomes.

On the night of 9 March, 2015, Arsenal once again fluffed their lines at the theatre of dreams, crumbling under the pressure of needing to overcome a diminished but potent force in Manchester United on their way to Wembley for an FA Cup semi-final. As always the problems lay at the ba-
Hang on, we won? It was United who came undone under the flood flights? Well, I guess I won't be needing the first draft of this week's blog.
Okay, so I hadn't really written that before Arsenal's 2-1 win at Old Trafford, but while thinking about what I might write this week I did find it easier to come up with potential ideas for the event of a loss, rather than a win.
Sure, Arsenal were technically favourites to win and are technically the better side in better form, but for 8 years United's home has caused the team a lot of problems, and it was all too easy to imagine United grinding out a win like they did at the Emirates earlier this season.
In the end Arsenal were solid, snuffing out United's early period of domination and only conceding one goal to a moment of magic from both the scorer Wayne Rooney and Angel di Maria. Arsenal struck first from the unlikely boot of Nacho Monreal before that equaliser, then in the second half it was the turn of Danny Welbeck to score against his ex-club and send them out.
All too often Arsenal players have left to haunt the club at a later date – Samir Nasri with Manchester City, Robin Van Persie with United, Cesc Fabregas with Chelsea – so it was nice to see us being the ones opening up a few old wounds.
In the end, Arsenal could have scored more were it not for a couple of brilliant saves from David de Gea – who is quickly becoming the real prize for United should they finish in the top four. He may leave for pastures new (Real Madrid) anyway, but if they don't finish with Champion's League qualification he absolutely will.
A top four finish seems like less of a worry for Arsenal than it usually is (don't confuse that for hubris), and we're clear favourites to win the FA Cup. Qualifying for the Champions League quarter finals will be a big ask after our dismal defeat at home to Monaco – but all hope isn't lost there.
Things are going pretty well for Arsenal football club at the moment, but the changes that have come this season have yet to eradicate that niggling doubt in all fans. The doubt that allows us to assume the worst and rarely entertain the idea of the best.
It's why my first thoughts for this blog were in anticipation of defeat and not the expectation of glory. With time Arsenal fans may learn to let a little hope encroach on their big game viewing, but that's still some way off.
