Dave Chappelle is feeling the heat for poking fun at the sexual misconduct allegations against Kevin Spacey.
In "The Bird Revelation," Chappelle's Netflix special that debuted Sunday, the 44-year-old comedian references a number of high-profile scandals, including the sexual assault accusations that actor Anthony Rapp has made against Spacey.
"Wow, I mean it is really bad out here," Chappelle says, according to The Daily Beast. "Kevin Spacey's out here, grabbing men by the pussy! I didn't even know that was possible!"
Rapp first accused Spacey of misconduct during an interview with BuzzFeed in October. He said Spacey made an unwanted sexual advance toward him at a party in 1986, when Spacey was 26 and Rapp was 14.
In the special, Chappelle notes that Rapp "grew up to be gay anyway," and that "Kevin Spacey sniffed that shit out like a truffle pig."
"I've been to a lot of parties in my day. Never been to a good one that had 14-year-old boys in it," Chappelle says. "All joking aside, Kevin Spacey shouldn't have done that shit to that kid. He was 14 years old and forced to carry a grown man's secret for 30 years."
But then he makes one more joke at Rapp's expense.
"The saddest part is, if he had been able to carry that secret for another six months, I would get to know how 'House of Cards' ends," he says.
Comedians Norm MacDonald, Donnell Rawlings and Adam Devine defended Chappelle to TMZ, but the jokes about Spacey have angered some viewers.
Chappelle has sparked controversy in the LGBTQ community before. During his residency at New York's Radio City Music Hall last year, the comedian cracked jokes about Caitlyn Jenner and President Donald Trump's attempt to ban trans recruits from the military.
Chappelle dismissed accusations of transphobia during an August interview with The Washington Blade.
"I'm not an obstructionist of anybody's lifestyle," he said, "as long as it doesn't hurt me or people I love, and I don't believe that lifestyle does."

3-D microscope's image of a cell

© Univ. of Washington
The machine works by rotating the cell under the microscope lens and taking hundreds of pictures per rotation, and then digitally combining them to form a single 3-D image.
The 3-D visualizations could lead to big advances in early cancer detection, since clinicians today identify cancerous cells by using 2-D pictures to assess the cells' shape and size.
"It's a lot easier to spot a misshapen cell if you can see it from all sides," explained Eric Seibel, who is a University of Washington (UW) associate professor and has participated in developing. "A 2-D representation of a 3-D object is never perfectly accurate – imagine trying to get an exact picture of the moon, seeing only one side."
The new microscope, known by the trademarked name Cell-CT, is so named because it works similarly to a CT-scan – though on a very small scale, and using visible light instead of X-rays. In a CT-scan, the patient is immobile while the X-ray machine rotates. In the Cell-CT microscope, each cell is embedded in a special gel inside a glass tube that rotates in front of a fixed camera that takes many pictures per rotation. The gel has similar optical properties to the tube's so that no light reflects off the glass. In both processes, the end result is that hundreds of pictures are assembled to form a 3-D image that can be viewed and rotated on a computer screen.
The new microscope is also more precise than other 3-D machines currently available. All other microscopes producing 3-D images have poor resolution in the up-down direction, the direction between the sample and the microscope's lens, Seibel said.
Qin Miao, a UW bioengineering doctoral student, used a tiny plastic particle of known dimensions to show the microscope's resolution. He found that the UW group's machine has three times better accuracy in that up-down direction than standard microscopes used in cancer detection.
"This means we can do quantitative analysis of cells," Miao said. "This kind of undistorted image is difficult to achieve using other technology."

Impossible Objects has announced it raised a $6.4 million Series A investment round led by OCA Ventures and with participation from IDEA Fund Partners, a technology-focused early stage venture capital firm, Mason Avenue Investments, Huizenga Capital Management, and Inflection Equity Partners. With this latest round, Impossible Objects has raised a total of more than $9 million.
"We've seen incredible momentum as more corporations are looking to additive manufacturing for production purposes and not just prototypes or low volumes. These companies need strong parts that can be made fast," says Robert Swartz, founder and Chairman of Impossible Objects. "We're delighted to work with our investment partners to meet this massive opportunity."
The funding comes on the heels of growing momentum for Impossible Objects. This spring, the company debuted its pilot Model One printer and acquired its first customer, the Fortune 500 Jabil Inc., a product solutions company providing comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to global electronics and technology companies. The Model One won the Innovation Award at the RAPID + TCT 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing conference for the service or product that will have the greatest impact on the industry.
Impossible Objects' composite-based additive manufacturing method (CBAM) is revolutionary. Leveraging high-speed 2D graphics technologies, it enables companies to use a range of composite materials, including carbon fiber, Kevlar and fiberglass together with PEEK and other high performance polymers, to build the strongest, lightweight parts at scale.
"We're just scratching the surface at how fast we can build parts and materials at scale," says Larry Kaplan, CEO of Impossible Objects. "This funding will only accelerate our ability to develop our technology and roll it out to the biggest companies worldwide."
"Impossible Objects is leading the way by using its technology to transform how the largest corporations manufacture," said OCA Ventures General Partner Ian Drury. "The market opportunity for a revolutionary industrial additive manufacturing solution such as Impossible Objects' CBAM is enormous and the company has huge momentum right now."
The Model One will be commercially available in 2018, and pilot versions of the machine are available now on a selective basis.

Water Features/Pools
Georgia Outdoor Services have been installing water features in the backyards and gardens of customers across Suwannee and the nearby areas of Atlanta, Lawrenceville, Buford, Cumming, Johns Creak, Alpharetta and Grayson.
Our clients in Hoschton, Braselton, Dacula, Sugar Hill, Duluth, Norcross, Roswell and Decatur are particularly keen on having pools and fountains in their backyards. With over a decade of experience, we've installed several water features and are an old hand at it. Our motto is to provide quality work that would lead to long term relationships with our clients.
Popular Water Features Among Our ClientsThere are many water fixtures that you can install in your gardens or backyards to add a touch or harmony and softness to the landscape. Outdoor water features are in high demand amongst our clients, as they create a very unique and appealing environment. Depending on how large or how small your backyard is, you can install different types of water features:
- Ponds/Pools: These can be a natural element that complements your home, looking rustic and invoking a sense of wilderness. They can also appear modern and chic if the installations are in geometric shapes arranged carefully to blend in and complement the styling of your home. In Japanese - themed gardens, it is popular to add a pond with Koi fish to get that element of nature and harmony.
- Fountains: More popular than ponds, fountains are very common amongst homeowners as well as commercial property owners. Fountains have been used to adorn properties for hundreds of years and can add a sense of elegance to your home. Some fountains (depending on their design), can appear minimalistic and restrained while others can be ornate and beautiful. As garden water features, they stand out and can add a touch of class to your landscape.
- Waterfalls: Waterfalls are becoming increasingly popular amongst homeowners. These features add rhythm and movement to your landscape and the soothing sound of flowing water can add a nice ambiance to your home. Waterfalls are constructed from stone to give them a natural look. They can also be made of concrete and other materials to give a more sophisticated, modern look.
- Garden Stream: This is one of the newer outdoor water feature ideas and is gaining popularity. Like waterfalls, streams also add movement and can be easy to construct and maintain. They can sometimes lead to a small pond and you can have a combination of a stream, waterfall and a pond, creating different scenery.

Mount Mobius is a location in Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball where the game's main storyline takes place.
It is asserted to be the highest mountain on Planet Mobius.[1] It is a single, titanic volcano, rising up out of the sea, and has been taken over by Dr. Robotnik as his main base of operations and converted into a mechanical pinball fortress dubbed the Veg-O-Fortress.
What exactly Mt. Mobius looked like in its pristine, natural state is unknown, for the mountain makes its first appearance only after it has attracted the attentions of Doctor Robotnik. In the style of evil geniuses everywhere, the good Doctor decides that the loftiest peak of Mobius would provide an excellent site for another of his evil bases; the locale is all the more attractive due to the fact that Mt. Mobius' furious volcanism will provide ample electricity for his deranged schemes.
Thus, by the time Sonic and Tails arrive, the towering spire of rock has been mechanized into the Veg-O-Fortress. After pretty much everything inside the Veg-O-Fortress gets wrecked, Robotnik's artificial facility collapses. The end sequence of the game shows Mt. Mobius and the remnants of the Veg-O-Fortress falling beneath the waves. Consequently, the mountain is destroyed.
Places of interest
- Toxic Caves: A stinky cavern full of toxic sludge and minecarts, which just so happens to be the place where Robotnik dumps all of the industrial waste.
- Lava Powerhouse: A power station of sorts that uses magma and steam energy to run various machines.
- The Machine: At the industrial heart of the Veg-O-Fortress lies an immense, automated Badnik production plant, complete with mass-robot producer and a central prison for those Animals yet to be 'processed'.
- Showdown: A launch pad at the summit of the mountain, where Robotnik attempts to escape aboard his spaceship.
In other media
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
Mount Mobius is also the name of the tallest mountain in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog series. Robotnik used the mind-controlled ape known as Big Daddy to install a laser on top of the mountain, with which he could intimidate and control the people of Mobius. However, Sonic managed to deactivate the laser by draining its batteries. Meanwhile, the Veg-O-Fortress (which was called the "Pinball Fortress") appeared in the episode "Attack on the Pinball Fortress".[2]
Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series)
In an early Sonic the Hedgehog bible written by Len Janson, the Roboticizer is referred to as "Veg-o". It is also mentioned there that Bunnie Rabbot was roboticized there. However, the Veg-O-Fortress appeared in the episode "Game Guy" where it was referred to as "The Fortress".

Yesterday I promised to blog about the two other speakers at the next 300 Leaders conference. Dave Devenish should be no stranger to regular readers of this blog, as I have serialised a chapter of his outstanding book Fathering Leaders, Motivating Mission, and interviewed him. His is a remarkable man who gave up a successful career in international banking to serve Jesus. Content to minister alongside Terry Virgo, he has been a massive part of what God has been doing through Newfrontiers for decades. He has seen churches planted in many nations. His recent book, based on teaching he has been developing for years, has helped bring definition to church oversight. If you have ever heard people speak about apostles today and wondered what they mean by that, coming to 300 leaders to hear Dave preach will massively benefit you. If you are already part of an apostolic movement (which Stetzer has observed are growing in influence globally) you will learn how this gift can help you connect with the global mission God has called his church to. Whatever your church background, this next 300 leaders will be a great benefit to you.
Those who have wondered what the future holds for Newfrontiers now that Terry Virgo has laid down his day-to-day leadership of our movement will do well to hear from Mike Betts. Mike is one of a significant number of apostolic figures that were recognised at our final conference in Brighton. Over the last few years Mike has established a group of churches that relate together, and reach out on mission. It is this gathering together of churches to serve the mission of God that is a key gift that we need to see released more and more. The future of Newfrontiers is secure because God is raising up many like Mike who will care for the established churches, and drive missional expansion. Mike has also developed a real strength in working closely with prophetic ministry and will be sharing about how this partnership can propel us into mission.
The need of our nation is urgent. The call for churches to grow and plant other churches is strong. I am convinced that this day conference will help us. I hope to see you there!

Dr. Bucky Lab in the cave with his mobile workshop. Foto by Suzanne van der Kerk website
the bucky lab becomes mobile ...but why ?
To answer this question we have to explain a little bit more about the history of the bucky lab. Started already 20 years ago within the chair Product Development of Mick Eekhout a prototyping workshop was opened under the leading of Peter van Swieten. Based on the background of innovative building construction of that time and a starting interest of facade product development the course started to introduce a new way of teaching students. Triggering the interests of the students in emerging technologies and new concepts, they not only had to sketch and develop their projects on paper, but also as a working prototype in 1:1 scale.
The course developed a huge variety of concepts lead by Kees Bardolf the master of the workshop. He supported the students with passion and teached them the needed skills to transform their ideas into working prototypes. The limitations of the prototypes were given by the measuerments of the elevator of the building to secure a transport within the building.
Over the years the prototypes changed, starting in the older days with metal based prototypes it becomes more and more advanced using, composites and other materials which required different tools and also more space. Often the students were found somewhere working on the first floor or outside the building.
Then after the catastrophic fire of the faculty highrise building a few years ago, the whole building was teared down after a third of it collapsed during the fire. The workshop tools were able to relocated to the civil engineering building next to the former building, while the architecture faculty was moved to an old building on the north end of the campus. This settlement was meant to be a temporary solution for the next 5 years till a new building wuld be build on the former location.
Beeing mobile creates a little bit more logistical planning, but also offered the freedom to work everywhere we want. Beeing able to do creative workshops where we can also build our concepts and visit companies as also other university is quite an opportunity and offers a lot of advantages.
The world becomes our workshop, and we believe we are able to build everything we want to with the set of tools we have in our boxes. If not, we will find someone who is able to help us.
We documented the developement and build of the mobile workshop on this blog, so have a look at the beginning of the blog articles in June 2012. This time it was also the first time the buckylab went outside the faculty to work in a tent.
and here some impressions of the final mobile workshop
For the first time we were building ooutside the TU Delft for the Carmen Opera props, the concept worked very well and we were able to transform an empty hall into a full equipped workshop ..so nice to see the boxes out in the wild ...
and how fast it goes shows this video

Thursday Night Race Features Large Entry List
A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, Mario Andretti, Al Unser, Pancho Carter, Gary Bettenhausen, Jack Hewitt, and many more greats are former winners of the historic Hoosier Hundred at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Thursday night, May 21, another name will enter the history books. It won't be easy, as the list is filled with 34 strong competitors looking to find victory lane.
The race, leading up to the biggest race weekend in Indiana, has a number of recent Hoosier Hundred winners entered. Some of the favorites to claim the top prize in Thursday's event include last year's winner Kody Swanson, 2013 event champion Levi Jones, and two-time winner Jerry Coons, Jr. Veteran Dave Darland has claimed three wins in the prestigious race but hasn't found victory lane at the one-mile oval since 2004.
While those drivers are going to be early picks in the friendly pools, someone else is sure to step up and challenge. Afterall, the car count looks to be stellar with 34 drivers pre-entered. The resurgence of the USAC Silver Crown cars will be easy to see at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Not only is the Silver Crown list extensive, the UMP Modified entry list will turn some heads. Last year, just 12 drivers were pre-entered before raceday. This year, 19 have filed entries ahead of time. Included are Ken Schrader, who is always tough at the mile, Kenny Wallace who will be making his first start there, and Joey Kramer who has claimed a couple of wins in recent years at the track. With all of the recent rainouts, drivers are ready to get back on track and Thursday's race in Indianapolis will give them a chance to knock the rust off.
Pit gates will open Thursday at 12:00, grandstands at 3:00, practice will begin at 5:00, qualifying at 6:00, and feature action will start at 7:00.

Climate change
I had an email which asked me to pass on the message, and the people here are concerned about the environment, so here goes.
"Have a look at this:
It just took me two minutes to email Chris Huhne urging him to sign up to international climate rules to help stop dangerous climate change.
If thousands of us flood Chris Huhne with emails, he'll know there's no question about what we expect of him. At the next Cabinet meeting, he'll tell the other ministers: "if we don't back these rules, there'll be a public outcry". He'll be able to convince them to let him back the carbon rules.
Please e-mail Chris Huhne too, by clicking here– it only takes two minutes:"

Re: Climate change
Done, but with the rise in fuel bills in the UK, and the largest part being domestic heating. One has to ask , would a 2C rise in average temps not be beneficial to the UK population?
I am of course ignoring the suffering in other parts of the world, but taking it as a thought experiment.
This mild winter got me thinking, my gas usage is already greatly reduced from previous years, and my solar hot water system is still making quite a contribution to heating the water for washing and showing.

Babies the key to success in Premier League title race
BACK in September Sir Alex Ferguson, like an embarassing dad, urged Jonny Evans to settle down and get married.
He argued that starting a family was the key to the stability that footballers need to perform at their best.
And this week two top Premier League stars took his advice and reaped the benefits.
While others in the Premier League were worrying about a beach ball scoring more goals than Frank Lampard from open play this season, Dimitar Berbatov and Robin Van Persie were guiding their sides to comfortable home wins.
Manchester United forward Berbatov took his manager's advice and became the father of a baby girl last Thursday, hours after scoring a hat-trick for Bulgaria.
Berbatov and his girlfriend Elena eschewed Manchester's hospitals, instead choosing to rely on the Bulgarian healthcare system for the birth of their first child, Dea.
And it paid dividends on Saturday as United defeated Bolton 2-1, while Ricardo Carvalho's defending and the aforementioned beach ball hit the challenges of title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.
Van Persie was left out of Holland's trip to Australia to be at the birth of his second daughter last Saturday.
The Arsenal forward named his first daughter Shaqueel – a name only appropriate for people from Harlem, New York or South Central, LA – but mistakes were rectified this time, calling his new baby Dina Layler.
Van Persie opened the scoring in Arsenal's 3-1 win over Birmingham, leading his manager Arsene Wenger, clearly a supporter of Ferguson's philosophy, to say: "I hope he has a baby every week."
After Chelsea's shenanigans with Gael Kakuta, it was thought that some Premier League clubs had taken to scouting new talent straight out of the womb.
But now it seems that the real reason they were trawling maternity units was to sign up teenage fathers.

Feeding a world population of more than eight billion: A challenge to science. Edited by J. C. Waterlow, D.G. Armstrong, Leslie Fowden, and Ralph Riley. Oxford University Press. New York, 1998. (ISBN 0-19-511312-8) 280 pages, hardcover.
This volume is based on a two-day international symposium held in the United Kingdom in December 1996. The availability of food, as a consequence of advances in agricultural and food sciences, continues to exceed the demands created by unprecedented population growth. However, the world population is predicted to nearly double between 1990 and 2050, and the question is whether the increases in food production can continue to meet the need. This book does not provide a definitive answer to this question, but it does provide fascinating perspectives on the issues involved, including basic land and water resources and constraints, the potential for and limits to the contributions of agricultural and biotechnology research including limits to photosynthesis, disease, and drought resistance, as well as animal sources of food and the food chain for human use. Equally important is the potential for poverty alleviation and improved food security. The book ends with: Poverty is the lock, productivity is the key and food security is the prize. It is a valuable source of information for those interested in interactions among food supply, population, agriculture, the environment, and public policy.
Nutrition and womens cancers. Barbara C. Pence and Dale M. Dunn. CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla., USA, 1998. (ISBN 0-8493-8562-8) 179 pages, hardcover. US$79.95.
This book attempts to integrate current knowledge of nutrition and the prevention of cancers that occur predominantly in women. It includes not only breast, cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers, but also lung and colon cancers, which are seen in a high incidence in women as well as men. Each chapter deals with the general pathology of the disease, genetics, general epidemiological factors, and the important dietary factors that have been identified. Each chapter has a summary and recommendations. National policy issues and current large clinical trials are also covered. The need to integrate knowledge of nutrition and cancer is stressed throughout. The style is readable and the references are extensive. Its strength and its limitation is that it focuses only on the major cancers of women, but these are also the ones on which there is the most nutrition knowledge.
Rapid assessment procedures (RAP): Ethnographic methods to investigate womens health. Joel Gittelsohn, Pertti J. Pelto, Margaret E. Bentley, Karabi Ghattacharyya, and Joan Jensen. International Nutrition Foundation, Boston, Mass., USA, 1998. (ISBN 1-892468-01-8) 196 pages, paperback. US$15.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. (Developing country individuals and institutions: US$ 10.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling.)
This manual contains guidelines and procedures for carrying out an ethnographic study of womens health. It provides tools for the generation and analysis of data to facilitate programme development, implementation, evaluation, and improvement by governmental and non-governmental institutions concerned with womens health. The main body of the manual focuses on a series of data-collection exercises that will permit an organization to develop a sizeable body of data on local perceptions and practices regarding womens health in the study area. It differs from other ethnographic manuals in its focus on the health problems of women rather than a specific disease or cluster of diseases, it provides detailed suggestions for the appropriate training of data collectors, and it provides for the optional use of specialized computer software packages.
Readings on pro-poor planning through social mobilization in South Asia. Vol 1. The strategic option for poverty eradication. Edited by Penna Wignaraja and Susil Sirivardana. Vikas Publishing House Pvt., Ltd., New Delhi, India. 1998. (ISBN 81-259-0500-6) 377 pages, paperback. SL Rs. 950/=. Available at SAPNA Regional Center, 75 Kynsey Rd., Colombo 8, Sri Lanka. Fax: 94-1-688676.
This book is an innovative state of the art on poverty eradication with social mobilization as the core methodology. Such a primer does not exist today for South Asian readers. The book is a valuable addition to training resources.
WHO global database on child growth and malnutrition. Compiled by M. de Onis and M. Blössner. World Health Organization, Geneva, 1997. 710 pages, paperback. Sw.fr. 50-/US $45.00. In developing, countries Sw.fr. 35-.
This book presents and interprets the vast amount of data contained in the World Health Organization Global Database on Child Growth and Malnutrition. The data, which indicate the growth and nutritional status of children under the age of five, have been collected by WHO since 1986 as part of its efforts to monitor and identify those groups in need of priority interventions.
Information is derived from population-based nutritional surveys of representative samples collected and assessed according to standardized procedures. The database currently reflects more than 1,700 nutritional studies, and covers 84% of the worlds total population of children under five years of age and 95% of this age group living in the developing world.
The book has two parts. Part one explains the importance of global nutritional surveillance and describes the origins and development of the database. Against this background, subsequent chapters summarize global, regional, and national situations and trends for key indicators of child growth and nutritional status. Numerous tables and selected maps are used to indicate the country- specific prevalence and geographical distribution of underweight, stunting, wasting, and overweight for boys, girls, and the two sexes combined in developing and developed countries; to classify countries according to very high, high, medium, and low prevalence for each indicator; and to estimate global and regional trends over time. While noting important achievements in overcoming malnutrition among those under five years of age, the analysis concludes that global progress is entirely inadequate to reach the goal, set for the year 2000, of a 50% reduction in 1990 prevalence levels of moderate and severe malnutrition. Part one ends with chapters describing the methods used in data collection and their standardized presentation, and offering guidance in the interpretation of the statistical tables.

Eggplant and Tomato Rice Gratin
There's a narrow window at the end of summer when I still have a counter full of eggplants and tomatoes but the weather is cool enough to consider turning the oven to 400 degrees. This weekend was right in the middle of that window. This recipe was inspired by Alice Water's recipe for Eggplant, Tomato, and Onion Gratin from Chez Panisse Vegetables and a recipe for Zucchini Rice Gratin from Smitten Kitchen. I can imagine all kinds of variations depending on the kind of summer abundance you have resting on your kitchen counter- zucchini, summer squash, roasted peppers... Enjoy.
Eggplant and Tomato Rice Gratin (Serves 6)
- 2 large yellow onions, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup long grain brown rice
- Salt and pepper
- 2 medium eggplants, sliced ¼ inch thick
- 3 ripe tomatoes, sliced generous ¼ inch thick
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, divided
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Sauté the onions, garlic and salt and pepper in olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, until soft and translucent.
Add rice, 1 ½ scant cups of water and onion and garlic mixture to a pot and cook until all liquid is absorbed, approximately ½ hour.
While the rice is cooking, cut the eggplants into 1/4-inch thick slices. Cut the tomatoes into slightly thicker slices.
Oil a 2 quart baking dish (I just used the skillet I cooked the onions in but use whatever you have on hand).
Mix cooked and cooled rice mixture with two beaten eggs and with ¼ cup of the Parmesan cheese. Cover the bottom of the gratin dish with the rice mixture. Cover with alternating rows of overlapping tomato and eggplant rounds. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, cover with foil and cook in the oven until the eggplant is soft, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil for the few minutes and brown under broiler.

My Country is the world, and my religion is to do good.
Thomas Paine "Father of the revolution"
Many years ago I was asked by a woman in my church, "Who did you vote for?" Without giving me a moment to answer she continued. "You did vote for Bush, after all he is the Republican."
Well, that got me thinking, "Why do many Christians believe you have to vote only Republican?" This was the way that I grew up but why? The two main issues that are normally stated are abortion and homosexuality. I understand that their reading of the Old Testament condemns homosexuality and so does the book of Romans. Abortion is never outright condemned, but Christians do believe that life is precious and shouldn't be ended "prematurely" by man. God gives life and only God should take it. (Which makes me wonder why many of these Christians back the death penalty.) It is curious to look at what Jesus says and that he never mentions either of those subjects even though they were happening in his day. Do you think Jesus thought they weren't all that important of issues?
Furthermore, will Rick Perry , Jeb Bush, Bobby Jidal or Ted Cruz do anything to stop abortion or prevent people from being homosexuals? (like that's possible)Reagan nor either of the Bush presidencies did much and neither will any of your Republican hopefuls. To me, they simply seem to be using these issues to get elected and therefore using you.
What about the other issues? What about the poor? Jesus often talked about taking care of the poor. What about health care? Is that taking care of the poor? Which party really takes care of the poor people in this country? Which party is trying to get health care to the needy? Which party voted for equal pay for women? Which party wants to raise the minimum wage to help the poor?
What about creation? ( environment) Who passes better legislation or repeals it? Do Christians know which administrations have done the most good or harm for God's Earth? Or do they both give in to big business and screw creation?
Is not education important to Christians? Is mandating "No child left behind" good or bad? Do you just guess or are you involved in education? What do you know about Common Core and what teachers have to go through? Who cuts help to schools or to libraries? Is that more a Republican or Democratic thing? Do you pay attention?
How about the war? I understand defending your country, but isn't Jesus the "Prince of Peace?" I also understand defending the weak and helping your neighbor, but is that being accomplished? So, which party will do what is right? Who will start helping people by not bombing another?
Jesus often spoke about the dangers of wealth and power. Are our candidates above this, or corrupted by this? Does either party do anything without consulting the people who gave them the Money to run? Which candidates are in the hands of the Koch brothers? Which are in the hands of Unions? Have you asked these questions?
On this note, what about the deficit? Are we voting for candidates that promote being responsible with our money or those that promote spending more than what we have and running up our governments credit cards and loans? Reagans economic policies of do it now pay for it later taught Americans it's ok to rack up your credit card bills. It was also responsible for the biggest non war deficit in American history.
What about purity and honesty? Does either party promote this? In my lifetime (40 years) there has been political scandals and corruption associated with every administration. (except maybe Ford) Watergate, Iran Contra, Monica Lewinsky, Spygate to name some of the bigger ones.
Can a person truly say that one party is more Godly than another? Everyone of our presidents has claimed to be a Christian, whether from the Democratic, Republican, Federalist or Whig party. It is clear that most of them were not.
In the past 46 years we have had a Republican president 28 years and a Democrat 18. Is our country more "Godly" or "Christian" because of the leadership of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, or either Bush's? During the Obama, Clinton and Carter years, did we become less Godly? I don't think so.
So I ask, why should a Christian vote only Republican? What do you think?

- Say PDP is party of broken promises
Special Assistant to Ondo State Governor on Political Mobilisation, Hon. Mosunmola Awotula, has led hundreds of members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, into the All Progressive Congress, APC, in Irele local government area of the state yesterday.
Speaking on behalf of the decampees, Awotula, popularly called iron lady, described the PDP as a party of broken promises which has inflicted pains on the people of the state, stressing that Governor Mimiko has played his last card and can no longer deceive and cajole the people of the state into voting for the PDP.
According to her, "We are the strong leaders of the PDP in Irele, I have been a woman leader in ward 2, after that I became organising secretary before Mimiko came to PDP.
"When Mimiko defect to PDP, he rendered us, the executive members useless and refused to carry us along in the scheme of things, which shows that Mimiko is a selfish leader."
Also explaining why they left PDP, one of the leaders and a community chief, Hon. Ikuemelo described the PDP as a dilapidated building, saying they left the party before it will collapse on them.
Noting that the PDP in the state will soon become a dead party with no strength within the sunshine state, he said there is no PDP in Irele local Government anymore with their exit.
Ikuemelo assured that the APC will become victorious in the coming November 26 governorship election.
Receiving the defectors, the deputy chairman of the APC in the state, Engineer Ade Adetimehin, assured the defectors of equal treatment, saying no founder, no joiner.
He charged them to preach the gospel of APC and mobilise others into the party, asserting that the defector must work together with leaders of the party in the area to ensure that the party …Read More

How Data Helped a Little-Known Brand Get a Black Friday Promo at Target
When shoppers rush the digital camera aisle at Target stores on Black Friday, they'll find a special package that hit the shelves in part because of data analysis: a "doorbuster" promotion bundling Micron's Lexar memory cards with GoPro digital cameras.
Micron attributes the existence of the bundle to custom research by NPD Group suggesting that retailers move more cards through the tactic than by letting shoppers grab cameras and cards separately.
Not only did the result help give a little-known consumer electronics brand a prominent place alongside a popular product on Target store shelves and on its website, it armed Micron with information it used to approach Amazon with a bundling idea as well. Today, Lexar memory cards are offered along with GoPro cameras in an "Extreme Bundle" on Amazon.com.
"Target being one of our largest customers, it was a natural for us to approach them for an in-store promotion," said Wes Brewer, VP-general manager, Micron consumer products group. "The irony here is we actually used online data to drive an in-store promotion."
Target declined to discuss details of its discussions with Micron. Amazon did not respond to requests to comment for this story.
From November 26 through November 28, Target will offer a free 64GB Lexar MicroSD card, normally priced at $42.99, with purchase of a GoPro Hero camera. The retailer will also throw a $60 store gift card into the $299.99 bundle, available Thanksgiving morning on Target.com, and in stores starting at 6 p.m. that day.
Micron commissioned NPD to develop custom research based on data derived through its partnership with Slice Intelligence. Slice scans order confirmation emails received by consumers who have opted in to its program; the company stores e-commerce receipt data showing product details, purchase amounts, consumer demographics and loyalty program and discount information. NPD's own data represents in-store purchases among a panel of around 50,000 people, who upload photos of receipts with apps such as ReceiptPal, which gives rewards such as gift cards in exchange for receipt photos.
The resulting Micron study represented data from 2014 on 1.5 million people (the panel has since grown to 2.5 million). Working with NPD, the company evaluated the attachment rate of its products, or how well its memory cards sold in conjunction with purchases of point-and-shoot cameras, mobile phones, tablets, action sports cameras like GoPro, drone-based aerial cameras and DSLRs (digital single-lens reflex cameras). Micron chose to look at purchases on websites of a handful of key retailers with high occurrence of purchases of cameras along with memory cards: Target, Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy and B and H Photo. The data, which compared sales in the first half of 2014 to the second half, revealed BestBuy.com had the highest attachment rate of Micron's Lexar memory cards.
Mr. Brewer used the information in presentation materials for sales teams calling on U.S. retailers, "to show the opportunity loss if their data was underperforming in the market," he said. His hope is that the new bundling partnerships with Target and Amazon will spur additional memory card sales.
"Amazon is pretty savvy, so they know that bundles work," said Mr. Brewer, who said the NPD research gave Micron some leverage when approaching the e-commerce giant with the bundling idea. "What we were able to do was use the data as a conversation starter, to engage with them on a deeper level," he said.

Kevin Wilson has a fresh, quirky and original voice. This is an enjoyable and easy read with a bittersweet storyline and interesting, flawed characters. The novel explores the question of what is more important art or family? The conclusion drawn is both sad and uplifting and makes this a very original read.
Buster and Annie are a brother and sister in their 20's both struggling to overcome their peculiar upbringing and escape the shadow of their eccentric parents. Their journey is funny, sad, moving and inspiring.
I would highly recommend this novel, it manages to balance a thought-provoking and clever idea with a light, satirical writing style. I'll definitely look out for any novels Wilson writes in the future.
N.B. Despite the slightly deceptive title, this book doesn't have anything to do with vampires!

This week's EDTECH 597 mobile app broke through many of the challenges that I've wanted to resolve for weeks, but didn't quite know how. The original theme of the app in the book was "Paris Maps Tour," which I changed to a "Trier, Germany UNESCO Landmarks and Maps Tour" mobile app. Through the process of developing this app, including its many prototype incarnations, I finally was able to not only create an app with more than one screen, but also change pictures on the app depending upon which button I pushed and to access the internet via Google Maps. This maps portion of the app development was also part of the original assignment.
The Nine Lives of the Trier Walking Tour App
The various incarnations of this project were many pages long—I think about six. However, for the final one, I turned in just a 2-page app. The multiple page app had a few bugs that I really wasn't able to solve this week. However, I'm not sorry I went down the road that I did, because I'm looking at each app as a way to direct my thinking for my final app.
I know that I want that app to have multiple page and audio capabilities, so I'm pushing the envelope as far as I can on each assignment to see what kinds of abilities I'll be able to bring to the table and to give me an idea of what kinds of problems I'll be able to realistically solve during the process even if I don't have all the know-how now. As I mentioned in last week's post, I often solve problems for previous apps as I'm working on another app. In fact, the answer to one of the problems that I had for that app—how to increase a line size—came to me and now I know how to do that.
Design Solves Problems: Creating Orc Armies with Technology
Additionally, this week once again taught me that it's the nature of good design that it solves problems. I am reminded of the stories that I've heard about when Peter Jackson was directing Lord of the Rings. He needed to be able to create large scale orc armies on screen, but at the time, there was no software that could do that so his production team created a program called Massive that would design individual orcs with their own decision-making capabilities on-screen.
Jackson said that he was forced to create these solutions, because he lives in New Zealand and didn't have access to larger production houses like Sony or Industrial Light and Magic. If he wanted an effect in his films, he and his team had to create it. I'm starting to really look at app development in this light.
The Long Road in App Development
Currently, I work as a travel writer. One of the things that the company that I write for is doing is starting up walking tours of Cascade, Idaho with the idea that they'll have many tours eventually. I thought about this and about the experience I had when I visited Trier, Germany several years ago. While I was touring the Karl Marx House Museum, I was given a hand-held device that told me about each exhibit. This week, I wondered how I could bring the type of information that the hand-held device gave me to the mobile app experience. It would have been cool to have an app for each of the sites that I visited in Trier—one that would give me a bit of information about each site plus a pictorial reference so that I would know that I was at the right place. I then brought my thinking a bit further by applying these same lessons to the walking tours we're currently doing.
It might even be something we could package down the road and sell. It would allow us to duplicate ourselves without adding manpower. For the first time since I started the class, I'm beginning to understand the answer to the question I put forth in one of the early blog posts for this class, which is "What is the logical progression of outcomes that can happen from this?" or "Where will this path logically lead and how can I apply what this information is telling me to the apps that I'm developing?"
In reality, it wasn't until I wrote this post that I realized what kind of economic impact this could have on the business I work for. It didn't even really occur to me until I wrote it that we could save manpower, but still make money by developing apps like this. It was a good breakthrough!

During my adventure of becoming a 'real' blogger I bought some books with tips and tricks about blogging.
One of those books was 'how blogs work', written by Stephanie Duval.
Stephanie is a Belgian blogger living in Switzerland. She has many talents, not only does she blog on 70percentpure but she is also a photographer and freelance journalist.
She's all about beautiful design and loves to travel.
Here are my 5 questions :
- When did it hit you, you like to travel and blog about it? Was it one holiday in particular?
It wasn't a holiday, but I remember the trip very clearly. It was a press trip organised by a British fashion chain, and perhaps the tenth or so trip I had to take for work. It was a lot of fun – staying in a beautiful hotel, experiencing the best of London, even a private performance by Paloma Faith, way before she became famous. I was traveling home on the Eurostar and looking through some of the snapshots that I'd taken and I decided it was just too much fun to keep to myself. As I was mostly traveling for work, I'd find myself alone a lot of the time, or not really able to share my thoughts with other journalists that I didn't really know that well, so I created 70percentpure.be as an outlet for those experiences. Besides, when I needed to come up with a name for the blog that night, I was inspired by a piece of chocolate that I'd brought from that trip to London: it was 70% cacao.
- What was the best hotel you've ever been to?
I don't know if it was the best hotel, but it sure was the best hotel experience I've ever had – though it has more to do with what happened there than with the hotel itself. When we arrived at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs and got settled in by the pool with cocktails and ceviche, on the second or third day of our two-week trip through California, my then-boyfriend proposed to me. It was the perfect setting and the perfect night, and so the perfect start to our amazing holiday. I can remember all the little details of the hotel so well: the ping-pong table we almost wrecked with our competitiveness, the gorgeous succulents in the garden, the beautiful room… We returned to the hotel during our honeymoon and even stayed in the same room. It will always be a special place to me.
- What holiday surprised you the most? What country/city was more amazing than you thought it would be?
My first time in Los Angeles was on another press trip, and I was so surprised with how much I loved that city from the first moment. Of course I stayed in a gorgeous hotel, met amazing people and got to take a look behind the scenes of the L.A. fashion industry, so that definitely helped. But I've gone back there twice with my husband and I still love it so much. It's the perfect mix of big city humdrum and laid back beach vibes. It also has the best museums and restaurants – I'd say my experience there perhaps even trumps my New York experiences, which before always ranked at the top of the list.
- What holiday was a disappointment? When you thought it would be great but really wasn't.
I had one horrible experience when traveling to Istanbul for work. I missed my first flight, they lost my luggage, I missed half of the program at the destination and was left to my own devices much of the time. It was in winter and the weather was terrible, and the person in charge of the trip was a creep. I locked myself in my hotel room for the better part of the last day, and was super relieved to go back home. It's a shame because I didn't get to discover anything in the beautiful city, but the circumstances just weren't there to experience Istanbul the right way. I'll need to go back some day to change my opinion about it.
- What country/city/hotel is your #1 on your wishing list?
My wishlist is never-ending, and it's hard to pick just one place. I'd have to say Canada though. I've only been to Vancouver and I loved it there. I'm especially drawn to the combination of gorgeous nature and bustling cities – best of both worlds. I'd like to see more of Canada soon. Besides that, there are plenty more places in the States that I'd love to visit. A trip along the East Coast is high up there, too. And closer to home I'd love to revisit Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. I've only been to these cities on business trips without my husband, and I'd love to experience them in a more relaxed way with him.
A special thanks to Stephanie. Not only for this interview, but for her advice in her book as well.

I love it when this time of year rolls around and I can decorate for the holidays. It is not even October 1st, and I already have a lot of Halloween decorations around my house. Some are DIY Halloween projects, and others I picked up at the store. We are planning a big Halloween kids party this year and my sons are going to invite their whole class. I will share our invitation soon!
I bought this vintage postal scale at Antique Alley in Grandview, Texas last weekend. I love it and a pumpkin fit on top of it perfectly. If you have never been to Antique Alley it is twice a year and it is AMAZING!
Some old black shutters found the perfect new home on my buffet. I found a twisty tree branch outside, painted it black, and filled a mason jar with stones to hold it.
I love to place pumpkins around the house in little spots like this chair.
If you are looking for some more Halloween inspiration, here are some ideas and projects I created in the past. Surely something will be the perfect project for you!!

VAXXED - One FLU over the Cuckoo's Nest : Dr Graham Downing - AV7
VAXXED : One FLU over the Cuckoo's Nest
Whose Interests are being served by 'Mandatory' Mass Vaccination ?
As the march to mandatory vaccination builds, 2016 has seen another wave of flu vaccination of children across the World.
To some, worryingly, the flu vaccination was administered en masse at schools across the UK against the wishes of many parents that do not want medical procedures merging with the school timetable. They could not see the point of it and some feared it may cause harm.
The argument that mass vaccinations are justified to protect the health of our communities just doesn't wash with them. They fear we are living in an insane World where common sense and science are being ignored for profit and ulterior motive.
In this AV7 presentation, Dr Graham Downing uncovers the disturbing truth behind the Flu Vaccine agenda in 'One FLU Over The Cuckoo's Nest.'
Dr. Graham S. Downing is a consultant in Neuro-musculoskeletal & Functional Medicine. He graduated from King's College London University where he trained in the clinical sciences and molecular biology and attended the Randall Institute as a research student whilst still under the Directorship of Dr Wilkins, Nobel prize winner for his co-discovery of DNA; and European Institute of Health and Medical Sciences, Surrey University where he received an MSc with a specialist area of research in psychoneuroimmunology in the clinical practice.
Dr. Downing was invited to read for a Ph.D at Oxford's leading research institute, Sir William Dunn School of Pathology but decided on a clinical career instead. He is one of only two doctors in Europe that have received training at consultant level in diagnosis and treatment of internal medical disorders at the Texas Chiropractic College, USA; and advanced Wilderness medicine.
His specialist fields are neuro-musculoskeletal & functional Medicine (with a focus on fertility, endocrinology, infection and gastro-intestinal problems). He has produced science and clinical reports since February 1993 and medico-legal reports since April 2010 as an expert witness.
He is currently President and Director of Clinical Education for a European organisation that sets standards of clinical proficiency and trains healthcare providers, including medical doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, herbalists, homoeopaths, nutritionist, functional medicine doctors and other health disciplines to consultant level.

TEHRAN, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) — Iran's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said Tuesday that the sanctions against Iran are " oppressive" and should be lifted.
"We have announced that these sanctions are oppressive and we reject them," Afkham said in her weekly press conference reacting to the recent moves in the U.S. congress to adopt new sanctions against Iran.
According to the interim agreement reached in Geneva on Nov. 24, the comprehensive deal would encompass removal of all sanctions, including multilateral, unilateral and the UN Security Council sanctions against Iran, she said.
"Based on the negotiations and according to the Joint Plan of Action, the sanctions should have begun to split and break up, from our perspective" she added.
The Iran's spokeswoman noted that the recent remarks by a number of U.S congressmen about the imposition of new sanctions against Iran are aimed at "creating psychological atmosphere."
"We hope in the course (of implementing the interim deal) and in the final stage, the issue of sanctions would be solved," she said, adding that "For this reason, the Iranian negotiating team is working for the removal of all the sanctions, securing peaceful nuclear program and enrichment activity (for the country) in the final deal."
Under the Geneva deal, the United States and its allies will afford Iran with limited relief of sanctions on its oil, gold, petrochemicals, auto industries and civil aviation with an estimated value of about 7 billion U.S. dollars under the terms of the six-month nuclear deal.
In exchange, Iran agreed to halt enrichment above 5 percent and neutralizing its stockpile of near 20 percent uranium by means of dilution or converting. The document says Iran also agreed not to make advances of its activities at Natanz and Fordow enrichment plants and at the Arak reactor.
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif said earlier that the Geneva nuclear deal would be dead if the U.S. congress passes new sanctions against Iran, even if they do not take effect for six months.

What Are Your Debt Consolidation Alternatives?
Debt consolidation may strike some as the best way to handle overwhelming debt issues. Going from owing multiple credit providers to just one can make the situation seem much more manageable. However, for many who deal with debt that would require consolidation, having the necessary credit history to secure an adequate loan may pose a problem. In this case, there are a few debt consolidation alternatives that you might consider if debt consolidation is not the way to go.
Debt Consolidation Alternatives
Debt Settlement
Settling your debt, whether with the assistance of a debt settlement company or on your own, can be one of the debt consolidation alternatives that can help you out when other methods fail. Debt settlement does not require you to have a certain level of credit in order to qualify, which can help those who cannot get a debt consolidation loan. During the debt settlement program, you will most likely make smaller payments than what you would have paid to your creditors. The main benefit of a debt settlement program as one of many debt consolidation alternatives is the ability to settle your debts for less.
Credit Counseling
As another alternative to debt consolidation, credit counseling might not seem like much at first glance, but it can be a powerful tool in sorting out your financial life. While it might not have the direct benefits of other debt consolidation alternatives, it also doesn't have to cost you anything. Many credit counselors have their services listed online and while some may charge you, most will not. If deemed necessary, your counselor may suggest a debt management program to help you rid yourself of bothersome debt.
Having to resort to bankruptcy can be a relief or a disappointment. Bankruptcy is largely seen as a last resort, but it can help eliminate debt instantly in the right situation. Filing for bankruptcy can discharge many forms of unsecured credit. Bankruptcy will stay on your credit record for at most 10 years and may hinder you from receiving new lines of credit within that time. Because of the many detriments, many people try to avoid bankruptcy at all costs. Even though these negative aspects exist, the fact remains that bankruptcy is one of many viable debt consolidation alternatives.

Pamela's Cookie Review: Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chunk
I'll be doing reviews of Pamela's Ginger Cookies and Peanut Butter Cookies in due course - probably on a day when I feel like eating a ginger cookie or a peanut butter cookie.
I really like the Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Cookies that Pamela's Products makes. They are soft, not crunchy - I like that. The chocolate chunks are big and of a nice-quality chocolate for a packaged cookie. In fact, I would say that these are better than most packaged cookies you can buy in the store, wheat or no wheat. The only criticism I have is that they are a little inconsistent from package to package. The most recent box of cookies I bought was a little drier than usual. Usually they come out of the bag almost moist.
As for value, I think that they are priced appropriately for high-quality gluten-free packaged goods. There are nine cookies per box.

Petunia's Gluten-free Vegan Pastries at the Farmer's Market
Craving fresh-baked gluten-free pastries in Portland? Check out Petunia's Pies and Pastries, a local Portland bakery that specializes in gluten-free, vegan, and delicious treats.
I had seen this bakery at the market a few times. I didn't get a chance to try anything out until last Sunday when I caught them at the King market. Almost everything in the display case is gluten-free. I really enjoyed the Lime Coconut Square I tried. The gluten-free crust was tender and light, and the coconut lime filling had just the right amount of tartness. I enjoyed photographing it almost as much as eating it. All of Petunia's pastries are beautifully decorated and displayed. I'm sure to go again to indulge in a cookie, cupcake, or tart.
Getting gluten-free goods from a new vendor is always a little nerve-racking for people who are very sensitive to gluten. When asked about the degree to which her baked goods are gluten-free, Petunia's owner Lisa Clark wrote to me that she bakes in her home kitchen, which is licensed and inspected for food preparation. She adds, "There is almost never gluten in my home since I can't eat it, and if I ever bake with gluten it's at separate times, separate equipment, separate storage...etc."
Lisa also added that she would be at the PSU market next week, but may not be there again until September unless she gets called to fill in for a cancellation. You can regularly find her at the King Farmers Market on Sundays. You can also find these delicious pastries at the Interstate Farmers Market on Wednesday afternoons, and sometimes at the PSU Farmers Market on Saturdays. In addition to the markets listed above, Petunia's will also be at the Pioneer Courthouse Square market when it opens June 21st.

Quick and Cheap Gluten-free Meal: Lamb and Asparagus
I cook some variation of this meat-and-vegetable meal on a regular basis. It takes about 10 minutes to cook, but if you have more time you might consider taking the lamb out of the fridge ahead of time to bring it up to room temperature before cooking. This makes it easier to cook it medium-rare without getting a rare-rare spot around the bone.
Lamb shoulder steak
Olive oil
Turn on your stove to medium-high under a large cast-iron skillet. Sprinkle the lamb shoulder steak with salt, pepper, and sage to taste. Rinse your asparagus and cut off about 1.5 inches off the base.
When your skillet begins to smoke slightly put about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan and spread it around. Place the lamb in the oil and let it sear for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn it over and do the same. Turn down the heat to medium-low and turn the steak over again, placing it off to the side. Put the asparagus in the pan and sprinkle with salt. After about 2 minutes (less if the cut of meat is thinner than 3/4 inch, more if the cut is thicker) turn the meat over again and stir up the asparagus. After about two minutes more your meat is about medium-rare. Make sure the vegetables are done enough and if so remove everything to a plate. Scrape up any browning from the pan and drizzle the resulting sauce over your lamb and vegetables. Enjoy!

Ideas from Springwise.Com
As I am currently working for SunExpress, I check Tourism & Travel section with a different point of view. 2008's top 10 Travel & Tourism ideas was announced in 24 December 2008. However, only a few of them were impressed me. This year, I think there are some more bright ideas in this section.
Here are the ones which I liked so far;
- Social Network for Air France – KLM travelers
- Trip Planner suggests travelling music
- JetBlue's All-You-Can-Jet
- Event driven travel...
and my favorite one so far is;
- Hand Sketched Maps featuring drawing and local advice. A la Carte Maps are designed to combine guidebook, tourist map and original art in one which present an array of each city's best-kept insider tips on a beautiful, 70-by-42-cm, hand-drawn map. This is perfectly fits to my travel blog Yol Gidenindir!'s approach.
When we look at marketing overall I have two to share;
- As many of you heard about it, "The Best Job in the World" is a success.
- Concept Feedback is an interesting tool to get early feedback from the community about your up—coming campaign, website or any communication.
Let's keep spotting!… and review in December 2009.

A New Era: SunExpress
Well... after a long break I am back to airline business. As of today I have joined SunExpress, which is a Joint Venture of Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines , as Corporate Marketing Manager. It is quite interseting and exciting that I have an airline brand to elevate after my Swissair times :)
Evet... uzun bir aradan sonra havayollarına geri döndüm. Bugün itibariyle Lufthansa ve THY'nın ortak kuruluşu olan SunExpress'de Kurumsal Pazarlama Müdürü olarak göreve başladım. Swissair günlerimden sonra bir havayolu markasını yüceltecek olmak oldukça ilginç ve heyecan verici :)

Miles To Go - An interview with Miles Young, new CEO of Ogilvy
- His immidiate priority is Ogilvy's clients instead of financial issues during the global meltdown.
- His second priority is to set longer-term business plan for Ogilvy. He believes in 5 year plans. He states that; "We have had some success in countries like India with five-year plans, which some say are rather communist-like. Annual plans tend to be quite short in terms of horizons. So I introduced five-year plans initially in China, then in India and also in Japan. Now, I want to do a global five-year plan"
- Lessons (which I also agree) from his Asian experience, in his words, are; "One thing that I am taking from here is the optimistic and pragmatic way of approaching life" and "Patience. Asian cultures on the whole are more patient. The Goldman Sachs way of life is kind of impatient. Sometimes be prepared to wait, be prepared to argue through to get to a consensus are important techniques of the business, that our colleagues in the West don't have"
- He defines the digital medium in India (including online marketing as well, I think) as a conundrum. Well, to be honest, this is the truth :) There is a huge potential along with lethargy.
- He thinks that arrogance is what ultimatelydestroys an organization

Kingfisher & Vijay Mallya
Vijay Mallya, from my point of view, is the Richard Branson of India, yet he is not holding sir title. He has an airline, Kingfisher Airlines which is ranked as 5 star by Skytrax (like Virgin Atlantic), he has Kingfisher Beer (no website as ad of alcholic beverages are not allowed in India) which is the market leader in India, some pharma companies and he also has a F1 team (Force India) and so on so on...
I like his way of promoting his products. His brand use almost every medium (check picture) including online medium. Their online marketing tools are various. Just for this, Kingfisher has a website named Kingfisher World. However, it is a shame for me but recently I have discovered another online marketing tool of Kingfisher! It has also a calendar, like the famous Pirelli one in Europe ;)

By Peggy Wirtz-Olsen, WEAC Vice President
"Good people with strong ethics who believe in contributing to the greater good are what makes the Onalaska Education Association strong," President of the Onalaska Education Association, DJ Ehrike, told me. DJ also touted the OEA's membership growth over the last two years saying, "We have been actively recruiting using the one-to-one conversation model with our building leaders who have strong relationships with their colleagues." Additionally, DJ told me, "We also have been able to recruit a positive building representative in every one of our buildings."
Molly Baker, elementary art teacher and OEA Secretary, echoed DJ's sentiments saying, "We've established building reps in every building and strong communication between the building representatives, the executive board, and the members. We've also worked diligently to build communication between the OEA and district administration. When we start with common ground like promoting public education, it's easier to build support. Our work in the Onalaska Education Association is often around things that we can all agree on, which helps others to recognize that the work of our union benefits everyone."
Christiana Martin, elementary music teacher, told me, "A key to our success has been to be a positive influence in the school district and the community. We've worked to build a positive image for the Onalaska Education Association in our community through OEA's local scholarships which are creatively funded through collecting payment from educators for wearing jeans on designated days. The OEA also founded the annual turkey drive around the holidays, which has now expanded as a collaborative effort with the school district to feed families in need during the holidays. Our colleagues see all of the positive work that the OEA is doing, the influence that we have, and what we offer that is helpful to new teachers starting out, and they join."
When I asked for advice, DJ mentioned, "Leaders can't do this work alone. Every local President needs to grow a team of positive and passionate colleagues who believe in our students and our public schools, and then find a way to delegate."
Christiana said, "As advice goes, emails from someone you don't know are easy to delete, and fliers of information are easy to throw away, but face-to-face contact with a colleague in your building is difficult to walk away from. When we make the effort to talk with our colleagues with whom we have influence about the Onalaska Education Association, they listen."
"Build a core group that you can count on to spread your message," Molly told me. "We can all work to promote an excellent public education system."
DJ's positive attitude about the work is evident as he ended our conversation with, "Even with our success, we see room for improvement. We will continue this work until every one of our colleagues is a member."
Thank you to DJ, Molly, Christiana, and all of the members of the Onalaska Education Association for your hard work and dedication, and congratulations on being named a WEAC Strong Local Affiliate.

SPELCheck is a modern and efficient web-application. SPELCheck is able to be accessed by authorised users from any modern web-browser on workstations, laptop or tablet computers, or from Apple, Android, and Windows Smart Phones/tablets via the free SPELCheck App.
This means that SPEL service technicians and clients are able to use standard smart phones or tablet computers to record service details in the field; eliminating the need for expensive, specialised scanning equipment. The SPELCheck App enhances efficiency by enabling scanning functionality on smart phones/tablets. It should also be noted that SPELCheck also operates offline, allowing service details to be recorded where there is no mobile phone connection available. Information entered when off-line is automatically synchronised when the phone/tablet comes back in range.
The SPELcheck module will include specific functionality to support maintaining the service history for SPEL Puraceptors. A SPEL Service technician will scan the QR2id Plate associated with the Puraceptor, or locate the device from a list using the "Near By" function and GPS (see Figure 2). This will display details of the device and options to record service details and/or photos relevant to the service (see Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6).
SPEL staff nationally are WPCG & ACAPMA NPCRS accredited.
SPEL offers a nationwide inspection and reporting program hosted by an online application that provides our clients and the regulatory authorities complete transparency on inspection intervals and maintenance requirements. http://spel.com.au/spelcheck-videos/
When our clients utilize this service they realise significant cost savings because the units will only incur vacuum truck eduction on an "as required basis" instead of a routine basis whether the unit needs cleaning or not.
Upon request SPEL Environmental™ will induct the nominated cleaning contractor on the maintenance procedures of the Puraceptor to ensure all procedures are followed.

It is with great delight that Emily and I announce the engagement of our eldest daughter, Naomi Jean Houston, to Mr. Lucas Champ, son of Pastor Tim and Mrs. Christyn Champ, of Chilliwack, BC, Canada.
The engagement took place in the snow covered forest of Chilliwack, British Columbia, along the Vedder River. Naomi and Lucas walked along the snowy trail until they came to a small bridge, where candles, roses, and lanterns were lining the path. Lucas then, on bended knee, asked for her hand in marriage, and she said yes!!

Great review on new Intel i7 5960X. I am stay up to date on 22 nm processor technology (i already have my I7 4960X IVB-E also is 22 nm) . I was very impressed by read the review about new 8 core CPU from Intel. I knew there can be mixed reaults between I7 4960X and 5960X but 5960X is still new.
Maybe a proofreader would be beneficial. "But because its clocks aren't quite as high at the Core i7-4960X" as high AT? "extreme processor like this on." ON? "It is still an extremely impressive powerhouse of a processors" -- processors? really? wow. Maybe go back and get your GED you loser.
Nice thorough review guys. I'm a novice at best when it comes to detail like this, but I was confused by two things:
First you mentioned needing some pretty heavy liquid cooling to get any OC speeds above 3.5, but then explained you got your tests to 3.6mhz with only air (albeit throttled and running very hot). I'm assuming that's just to test limits and not something anyone would want to do continually?
Second, I get confused when I see "Supports 4 channels of DDR4-21330 memory". Is that referring to the LOWEST frequency supported? We'll see support for over DDR4 3300Mhz right?
(one more typo on p6 (quad-channel DD44-based memory kits). Not a huge deal. So much hate above : /
@bsdect - There are video encoding tests in both of the PCM suites.
Also: "there are going to be times where its additional compute resources are under-utilized and higher-clocked processors will be faster."
"On some levels though, it feels as if Intel hasn't—or wasn't able too—push the boundaries too much further."
"It's just not the absolute beast it could have been"
Intel pays people to point out shortcomings now? Seems like a good strategy.
@BrianSmith - Kudos to you for finding a handful of typos in a 6500 word, self-published piece at an independent publication. Let me return the favor. Here are yours: You forgot the question mark after the first sentence. You didn't capitalize the "R" in really or the "W" in wow. You forgot the comma before "loser" and again failed to end the last sentence with a question mark. Getting a GED is a good idea, though. Just tell me where you got yours so I can steer clear. They obviously didn't do that great of a job.
@alshep123 - I think you got the numbers a little mixed up. We could get into Windows at 4.6GHz, but the CPU would overheat quickly at that speed, hence the mention that you'd need powerful cooling. We had to bring it down to 4.4GHz to complete benchmarks without overheating / throttling.
As for the DDR-2133 reference, that's the "official" top speed Intel has set in the processor's specifications. Lower speeds are supported as well. And higher speeds are possible with overclocking. Hitting DDR4-3300 may be possible with some chips / memory kits / motherboards, but I can't say for sure just yet. (Typo also fixed--thanks!)
Wow, why all the trolling? I thought it was a very good article that didn't deserve that kind of bulling.
Debating if this processor or just get a Xeon instead. You are approaching the cores of standard Xeon processors. Plus get the advantage of ECC and other features.
