I'm a Nikon.
I've mentioned before that one of the perks that I enjoy at my job is that I get to try out a large amount of photography gear for free. Our Communications school has been blessed with a good-sized equipment room, where students can check out gear including cameras, lenses, lighting, audio, and accessories. It's a fantastic resource for the students to have and it definitely benefits the quality of our programs.
I have definitely used my privilege to work with all of this equipment to my benefit, trying out different types of lenses to better know which ones I might want to buy later on, using the expensive lighting gear to capture great images for various genres, and even using equipment I might never use again just to get the experience. The one downside I have encountered in this opportunity is that while I use a Nikon camera and I love it, the school gets great deals from Canon, and therefore an overwhelming majority of the cameras and lenses available to us are Canon.
Many photographers are all too familiar with the Nikon vs Canon debate. It has been going on for years and years, people going back and forth with why each brand is superior and why the other brand falls short. Each brand continues to produce "new and improved" versions of their bodies hoping to become the best choice for all photographers.
The brands even have an impact on our identities as photographers. When two photographers meet the question ultimately comes up "Nikon or Canon?" At work we have photographers on both sides, and we tend to refer to each other as "She's a Nikon" or "He's a Canon".
One difference I've noticed between the two groups of photographers, however, is that only one group tends to have a problem with using the other brand (that I've encountered personally, this may not be true everywhere.) Since our school uses mostly Canon gear, sometimes Nikon users need to use Canon cameras and lenses in order to try new types of gear. But I've never really heard the Nikons complaining about this. They might wish out loud that we had more Nikon gear to try, but as far as using Canon gear, they're ok with that situation. The switch from Nikon to Canon isn't a big deal, most photographers learn all of the settings quickly.
Ask the Canons about their experience trying Nikon gear, and it's a different story. Most Canon photographers I know say they can't use Nikon cameras, they're just "too complicated." It's interesting how that works out.
For me, I don't mind using different types of cameras from time to time. As long as they work well and produce great images, I'm a happy photographer. I'm going to take advantage of any gear available to me right now, and besides, it's fun to experiment.
Photographers, which brand is your preference?

Composting with compost pails
Click on compost pail photos for more information about how to buy these compost pails or visit our online composter store.
Why I like using a compost pail instead of just a coffee can
1. Compost pails are nicer looking. They make a nice accessory to your kitchen counter.
2. Compost pails have lids and filters, so that you don't have to deal with bad smells.
3. Compost pails make it much more convenient to collect kitchen scraps so that you are much more likely to actually keep them instead of just throwing them in the garbage or putting them down your disposal.
Looking for information on composting. Visit our main page and see everything else we have to say about the subject.
What about compost tumblers?
If you use a compost pile, be sure to keep it well mixed with a compost aerating tool.

Speech From Game Of Thrones Season One Predicts Outcome Of Season 7
Warning: Game of Thrones spoilers lurk like poison in your cup!
I think by now everybody knows that the Game of Thrones writers are pretty damn clever.
They clearly think things out seasons in advance and have probably got the whole thing locked-in until the end of the series.
So when a fan notices a conversation from way back in season 1 that only comes full circle in the latest episode, it's not hard to argue that this was probably not a coincidence.
Cersei is pretty unstable, she's actually a full-blown megalomaniac by all Game of Thrones accounts, and she's more than likely going to meet a very sticky end.
To fully support this, Redditor pnr32 highlighted a conversation from season one episode 5:
The conversation goes:
Cersei Lannister: He's not serious enough. I'll say this for Ned Stark: he's serious enough. Was it really worth it? Losing him this way? [Robert places the cup on the table and stands]
Robert Baratheon: I don't know. But I do know this: If the Targaryen girl convinces her horselord husband to invade and the Dothraki horde crosses the Narrow Sea… we won't be able to stop them.
Cersei Lannister: The Dothraki don't sail. Every child knows that. They don't have discipline, they don't have armor, they don't have siege weapons.
Robert Baratheon: It's a neat little trick you do: you move your lips, and your father's voice comes out.
Cersei Lannister: Is my father wrong?
Robert Baratheon: Let's say Viserys Targaryen lands with 40,000 Dothraki screamers at his back. We hole up in our castles. A wise move. Only a fool would meet the Dothraki in an open field. They leave us in our castles.
They go from town to town, looting and burning, killing every man who can't hide behind a stone wall, stealing all our crops and livestock, enslaving all our women and children.
How long do the people of the Seven Kingdoms stand behind their absentee king, their cowardly king hiding behind high walls?
When do the people decide that Viserys Targaryen is the rightful monarch after all?
Cersei Lannister: [pours herself wine and sits] We still outnumber them.
Robert Baratheon: Which is the bigger number, five or one?
Cersei Lannister: Five.
Robert Baratheon: [holds up his left fingers] Five…
[ooyala code="d4YWR5YjE692UzHLJcOAfDzvE-0RfWD5″ player_id="5df2ff5a35d24237905833bd032cd5d8″ auto="true" width="1920″ height="1080″ pcode="twa2oyOnjiGwU8-cvdRQbrVTiR2l"]
Robert Baratheon: [clutches his right fist] … one. One army, a real army, united behind one leader with one purpose. Our purpose died with the Mad King.
Seems like a pretty inconsequential conversation, right? Wrong. Because the whole thing could apply to Cersei and her worsening situation today.
In fact, it applies more so because some of her army has just been flattened by the Unsullied.
Daenerys is the army united behind one leader with one purpose.
Cersei has no such purpose, according to pnr32, and as such the love of the people is likely to be short-lived.
But does she have a purpose?
Game of Thrones
From as far as we can see, Cersei is just hell-bent on revenge. She's not really taking into account the full picture, turning her attention from one enemy to the next with no real strategy.
But what if her real goal is peace? I know, it sounds stupid, bear with me.
Jaime seems to think that this is the case though, as he said during his conversation with the now dearly departed Ollena.
He said to her:
After we've won and there's no one left to oppose us, when people are living peacefully in the world she built, do you really think people will wring their hands over the way she built it?
So maybe Cersei isn't quite as bloodthirsty as we actually thought. Maybe she does have an unexpected purpose. Peace.
All is not certain, except for the writers of course, they've got it all worked out.

I am now an official bike sharer.
How did this happen, you ask? How is it that I, who sat on the fence for so long regarding "Citibikes," have become a card-carrying member? I received an annual membership for my birthday! And because I recently became a member of the Lower East Side People's Federal Credit Union*, I received a $35 discount, bringing the cost down to $60. (Although, once I saw that LESPFCU members got a $35 discount, you can be sure I would have opened an account.)
For those who live in NYCHA housing, or are members of approved credit unions, be aware that the Citibike web site might give you an error message when you enter your discount code:
As long as you know it's a valid code, continue with the signup process. The confirmation email you get will show the discounted price you paid.
So in about ten business days, I will rejoin the mass of people who bike to work.
(I used to ride my bike to work a long time ago, when I lived too far away to walk).
The bike share program in New York is run by a company called Alta Bicycle Share. Alta is currently under investigation by the Department of Labor after sixteen current and former employees of Washington D.C.'s Capital Bikeshare circulated a petition asking for back pay and benefits. According to the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act (SCA), contractors and subcontractors with federal and D.C. agencies must pay their workers the prevailing wages and benefits in their locality. Alta's 2010 contract with the District Department of Transportation states that they are bound by the wage determinations made by the SCA. According to that contract, "Bicycle Repairers" should be paid $14.43 an hour, plus either $3.35 an hour or $580.66 a month in "health & welfare" benefits. They should also receive two weeks of paid vacation and paid federal holidays. The SCA also covers part-time workers—under the act, they should be paid the same wages and receive benefits appropriate for their time spent at work.
Unlike Capital Bikeshare, the CitiBike program doesn't receive government funds. For now, it's completely underwritten by CitiBank and MasterCard, who paid $41 million and $6.5 million, respectively, to have their names on the bikes. The underwriters receive no profits, but the city says it will share any profits with Alta. Because the bikes are completely funded by a corporate sponsor, the workers for CitiBike are not subject to the city's living wage law for city-funded jobs, which would require a minimum pay rate of $10.20 an hour with benefits or $11.75 an hour without benefits.
Back in early June, I received this email:
Jeremiah Moss has a web site called Jeremiah's Vanishing New York, but apparently he's a MoveOn member also. (The petition came from MoveOn.org).
The idea that people who live in the vicinity of Frank's Bike Shop and take Citibikes to get to work are causing Frank Arroyo to lose his business is absurd. People don't rent bikes from bike stores to get to work. As far as tourists go, anyone who buys 24-hour Citibike passes still has only 30 minutes to get their bike to another station before they start incurring late charges. According to a NY Post article, Frank's charges $30/day for a rental. A four-hour trip on a Citibike, without changing bikes every thirty minutes, would cost $73.00. There is no comparison.
People make any sort of claim, and just assume that it will be believed. What if Citibank didn't sponsor the bike share program in New York? What if the city paid for it, under the DOT? Would these people still complain? Probably.
Dear Quilas,
Frank Arroyo has sold bottled water on the Lower East Side for 37 years. Recently, the city placed a water fountain in a park just 150 feet from his store, Frank's Deli. Now his business is in jeopardy.
Finally, one last tidbit of information. Alta Bicycle Share is based in Portland, Oregon, and currently operates bike share programs in eight cities: seven in the U.S. and one in Australia.
- CoGo Bike Share is a project of the City of Columbus, Ohio;
- Bay Area Bike Share is a project in a partnership among local government agencies of the bay area of California;
- Divvy is a program of the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), which owns all of the system's bikes, stations and vehicles;
- Citi Bike is operated by NYC Bike Share LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alta Bicycle Share;
- Bike Chattanooga Bicycle Transit System is a project of the City of Chattanooga and is managed by Outdoor Chattanooga, a division of Chattanooga Parks & Recreation;
- Hubway, the Boston-area program, indicates that the program is run by the municipalities it connects;
- Capital Bikeshare is owned by the participating jurisdictions of the Washington D.C. area;
- Melbourne Bike Share is operated through a partnership between the government and Alta Bicycle share.
Of all of the programs operated by Alta, only New York's is owned by a private company, and only New York's has a company logo on the bike. Furthermore, of the programs serviced by Public Bike Share Company, the bicycle manufacturer, the only other city that has a company logo on the bike is London, and theirs is Barclay's Bank. Maybe that makes sense.
*The name "Lower East Side People's Federal Credit Union" is, in the words of Jimmy McMillan, too damn long!

i.root-servers.net in Kenya
Embargoed Until: 10AM (UCT +1), Tuesday, 3 July 2012 Nairobi, Kenya/Stockholm, Sweden:
TESPOK and Netnod have today announced that an instance of i.root- servers.net will be installed in one of TESPOK's data centres. This is the fourth DNS root server in Kenya, and the installation will thus contribute to the reliability and redundancy in DNS services to Internet users in Kenya and surrounding regions.
"This is an exciting step to take to improve the Internet in Kenya. We are delighted to be working together with such a reputable organisation as Netnod. It is one of the most trusted names in DNS with extensive experience in anycasting and DNS operations. Anycast is today an established method of improving resilience and redundancy of the DNS. This deployment is critical as it supports Internet access in Africa. We are looking forward to more deployments of this kind in the future," says Fiona Asonga, CEO of TESPOK.
"We are enthusiastic to deploy an i.root-servers.net instance in Kenya and to have it co-located with TESPOK," says Kurt Erik Lindqvist, CEO of Netnod. "This root server will not only benefit the Kenyan Internet community, but also Internet communities in the surrounding region, in terms of faster domain resolution and increased resilience within the region as a whole. This installation is part of Netnod's efforts to continuously increase the i.root-servers.net footprint and thereby increase the performance and robustness of the root server system worldwide. This is particularly important in the African region where deployments of instances of root servers still only exist in very limited numbers."
Root servers are a critical part of the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS), providing information about authoritative servers for all Top Level Domains (TLDs) (such as ".com", ".org", ".ke", ".fr" and ".jp"). Computers need this information to interpret web-addresses, e-mail addresses, and perform other types of Internet transactions.

How to download from RarBG torrent website
RarBG began life back in 2008 as a BitTorrent tracker. The website has since grown to become a powerhouse in the torrent world, providing over 300,000 users each day with magnet links and torrent files. What makes the website so special is that it's put together in such a way that makes it easier for beginners to use, and it has a huge community that posts torrents and provides their feedback on others. This helps users avoid malicious links, the biggest issue with downloading torrents.
RarBG was originally hosted over in Bulgaria, but had to hop between countries to escape the ire of the authorities. Unfortunately the website is outright banned in certain countries, such as the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Denmark, India, and Portugal. The good news is that the website can be accessed in these countries through the use of a VPN or RARBG proxy servers and mirror sites. VPNs allow you to bypass any such ban and access RarBG, along with any other website blocked by your government or ISP. They also protect online privacy and are recommended for anyone looking to download files online – whether directly or through a torrent site such as RarBG.
If you want to know how to download videos from RarBG in a simple and effective manner, then Folx downloader is the RarBG downloader Mac software for you.
Folx provides users with a convenient way to download from RarBG. Users can prioritize torrent downloads, adjust download and upload speeds, and tag torrents to make it easier to search downloaded content for specific files.
Let's Learn how to Download Videos from RarBG using Folx
The first thing to do is download Folx. Folx is completely free to download and use so you can install and launch it as soon as you're ready. How to use RarBG torrent site on Mac is also easy enough to understand. Start by running your VPN (if needed) and then open up the RarBG site. Find the torrent or magnet link that you want, and paste the URL into the Folx interface. Press Enter to start the download automatically using the default settings.
If you want to set up private settings and control the program to your own specifications, then keep on reading for detailed steps:
1. Create the download task. There are a couple of ways to do this:
- Open up the main menu and choose File > New Task
- Click the + button to the top of the main window
- Click on the download link in the web page (you must allow Folx to catch magnet download links through the preferences for the program)
2. Choose the Download Options
- URL: Paste the URL for your download
- Tags: Assign tags to a download ("Other" is the default if none are selected)
- Save to: Specify a download location
- Choose your own download location or leave it set to Automatic to allow Folx to choose a download path based on the specified tags. The download locations for specific tags can be changed through the Tags page in Preferences. Assigning multiple tags to a download doesn't alter the download path as Folx will place a link in each directory for the chosen tags
- Start: Choose whether the download will begin automatically, manually, or at a scheduled time
- Split Into: Choose how many threads the download will be broken into
- Rename: Choose a new name for the download if necessary
- Referrer: Referrer refers to the HTTP header field identifying the address of the website that linked you to the specified torrent. Some websites require this referrer URL to allow access to the data.
- Description: write a description for the files being downloaded
- Authentication: Enter the login and password information for servers that require them, known as private trackers. Read through our section about Password Manager for more on this.
- Set as Default: choose this option to remember the current options and make them the default settings in the future
3. Start the task by clicking OK
While Folx is a completely free way to download RarBG videos on Mac, there is a Pro version available. This Pro version comes with special features that make it worth the cost:
- Users of the PRO version will be able to search for – and download – torrents directly through the Folx interface. Just enter your search terms into the search bar and choose the torrent you need from the results
- Authentication: Enter the username and password information of the server if necessary (read through our Password Manager section for more on this)
- Scheduling downloads to schedule tasks to be performed at a pre-determined time
- Speed Control: Open the dropdown menu to alter the global download and upload speed limits
- Folx has a built-in password manager that safely stores passwords for different websites, meaning you won't need to keep track of all of them. The free version allows you to store two passwords, while the PRO version allows you to store an unlimited number of passwords.

Tech Tip: Unplug and take a break from technology
Did you know over 40 percent of us check our phones within five minutes of waking up in the morning, and nearly half check up to 25 times a day, according to a 2015 study by Deloitte?
Consider detaching from your phone and other electronics this upcoming holiday season. This will give you more time to spend with loved ones, and help you sleep better. To get started, here's seven ways to break your technology habit:
- End idle moments.
- Use tech to help you stay off tech.
- Don't rely on willpower.
- Unplug before bed.
- Start small.
- Turn off notifications.
- Plan breaks.

Samsung has taken the wraps off a new learning platform for its Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 which will go head-to-head with iTunes U.
Called Learning Hub, it will be on hand to offer educational content which is set to include 6,000 textbooks and videos from 30 different education service providers.
Samsung is expected to reveal more details of Learning Hub at Mobile World Congress 2012 next week.
High score schooling
So far the company has only offered up a handful of screenshots that don't tell us a great deal, however it has revealed that the platform aims to encourage individual learning using an automatic scoring system to motivate less disciplined students.
Document annotation will also be enabled, which could see a Galaxy Note S-Pen-alike accessory for the Galaxy Tab produced.
iTunes U has been a huge success for Apple, helping it get the iPad into many schools and learning institutions. Samsung is obviously (and understandably) keen to get a piece of that action with its own tablet offerings.
So far only Samsung Korea has released news of Learning Hub, so we'll have to wait until MWC 2012 next week to see what Samsung has in store for the rest of the world.

Just a little something to introduce ourselves…
Our kitchen is a small and imperfectly formed part of South East London. We (let's call me L, and my husband D) have discovered that you don't need tons of space, a lot of money or a huge amount of time to make (usually) healthy, home cooked meals for yourselves and your friends.
We both grew up in a few different places; including Germany, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, where we met. This amazing journey has influenced the food that our families cook and is reflected in the food that we love to eat.
We have lived in London for a few years now, and love the fact that you can pretty much find whatever you want in terms of food in this incredible city; a retro independent cafe for brunch, a cosy pub for a hearty roast dinner, even al fresco dining by the Thames (so what if it's raining, we are British!!). You can have a bratwurst in Borough Market, followed by crepes in Covent Garden, and that's pretty special.
We love to travel, and when we can, try to experience home cooked food in the country where it comes from. Of course this isn't always possible, so we have a go at doing it ourselves in a way that is as cheap and simple as possible.
In these austere times that are hard for everyone, including independent businesses, we try to buy as much food as we can from our local shops in Herne Hill, Dulwich and the surrounding area. We can't always do it; like everyone we have busy lives and sometimes all we have time for is an express supermarket. But we think it's important to support local shops and the community that we live in, and they have fantastic produce.
As a result, our love of all things delicious is definitely not a secret so we decided not just to talk about it, but to write about it too. In this blog we hope to share our experiences of cooking and eating; whether it is a quick meal for two after a long day's work, a three course meal for what seems at the time like twenty friends, the experience of a bustling weekend market or a posh meal at a Michelin starred restaurant (that might not happen very often).
We think it is important to be flexible with recipes, so try where we can to include variations depending on what ingredients you can get hold of, how healthy you want to be, or whether or not you are vegetarian.
So really in summary, this is a blog from our tiny London kitchen; not just about home cooking, but about international cooking and eating experiences, and it's for everyone who loves food as much as we do.
We are interested in your recipes too, so if you have one you want to share please let us know. Visit our facebook page at www.facebook.com/fromourkitchenblog or Twitter site @OurKitchenBlog and let us know if there is a recipe you would like us to try!

Got an email today with an early access invite to Sharesies companies trading beta testing. I'm thinking I'll have a bit of a "play" but I need some help choosing what company to pick. At the moment Sharesies doesn't offer DRP, which is disappointing but it is something they hope to introduce down the track. I don't want to pick something like HGH with good dividends as I would prefer to buy those in the near future through a broker, so I can take advantage of their DRP.
Any suggestions for a very small investment or even something currently really cheap that "might" do okay -just for a bit of fun? Not talking many dollars - just really want something so I can test for them and see how it goes.

SHELBURNE FALLS, Mass. – The Mount Holyoke College riding team was back in action on Sunday as qualified individuals competed at the 2017 Zone 1 Region 3 Championships, hosted at Biscuit Hill Farm. The Lyons sent 15 riders to today's competition, five of whom qualified in both flat and fences.
The day began with open fences, which saw a beautiful ride from senior Bridget Finnerty for the blue ribbon. This class also saw the first individual zones qualifying round of the day.
Intermediate entered the ring next with rides from seniors Allee Platanitis and Cam Carter. Both put in lovely trips to earn fourth and fifth place, respectively.
Six riders from MHC made up the ten total novice fences trips in the ring next. The seniors were represented by Sarah Felman and Ellie Demmons, along with juniors Emily Holowczak, Anna Rzchowski, and Taryn Isenburg, plus sophomore Daisy Sears. After lovely trips from everyone in the first round, Holowczak, Sears and Felman were called back to the ring for additional testing. Once complete, Holowczak was named champion of the class and Sears finished in second place, securing both a ride at zones. Additionally, Felman finished in third with Rzchowski in fifth and Demmons in reserve.
Walk trot canter entered the ring next with rides from senior Regina Brecha and junior Sabrina Fox. Again, both laid down excellent flatwork in the initial phase of the class. Afterwards, Fox was called back to the ring for further testing and ultimately finished the class in third place. Brecha's efforts earned the reserve position in the large class.
Alexandra Friedman was next up in a competitive walk trot class. She had a beautiful ride for fifth place.
Two splits of novice flat came soon after, with the Lyons represented by Demmons, Rzchowski, Isenburg , and sophomore Emma Recchi. After both splits ran, Rzchowski, Demmons and Recchi were called back for additional testing. They finished in first, third, and fourth respectively, each with lovely rides.
Intermediate flat took to the ring next with junior Mollie Kowalchik and Platanitis each putting in beautiful rides to post one-two, and earn both riders a spot at zones.
In the final class of the day, Finnerty returned to the ring with first year Franny Eremeeva for open flat. After beautiful rides from both, they finished in first and second, respectively, and also each earned a spot as individual qualifiers at zones.
Region 3 also awards high point open riders at each years end, and this year MHC riders secured three of the four awards. Finnerty received the high point fences award and flat award, while Eremeeva secured the reserve high point flat award.
Mount Holyoke will now send seven individual riders on to the Zone 1 Championship, which will be held on April 8 at the MHC Equestrian Center. The seven individual qualifiers will compete for spots at nationals. Additionally, Mount Holyoke will compete with the top teams from regions 1, 2, 4, and 5 for a team spot at nationals. The top two teams will advance.

The group was involved in the kidnapping of Alan Johnston, a BBC reporter, in March. An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed there had been an attack by the air force but had no word on its target. Meanwhile, Israeli shelling killed four people in the northern town of Beit Hanoun, according to witnesses, and wounded a large number of others. Israeli operation Israel said it was responding to ongoing rocket and mortar fire from Gaza at Israeli border towns. Earlier, Palestinian fighters in Gaza said they have fired more than 12 rockets at the southern Israeli town of Sderot. Israeli tanks took control of Beit Hanoun, from where some of the rockets had been fired. Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, said there could soon be a broad military move on Gaza in an attempt to stem the cross-border rocket fire. "We are getting closer to carrying out a widespread operation in Gaza which, for many reasons, has not taken place in the past weeks," Barak told Israel's Army Radio. Nour Odeh, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Gaza, said: "Residents of the Gaza Strip are anticipating the worst." She said that following Israel's declaration of Gaza as "hostile territory", "people are perceiving these air strikes and incursions as a translation of that declaration".

July 23, 2017:Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Catholic Social Teaching: Care for Creation
Citation from the Gospel reading for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time:
The Lord was able to invite others to be attentive to the beauty that there is in the world because he himself was in constant touch with nature, lending it an attention full of fondness and wonder. As he made his way throughout the land, he often stopped to contemplate the beauty sown by his Father, and invited his disciples to perceive a divine message in things: "Lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest" (Jn 4:35). "The kingdom of God is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all seeds, but once it has grown, it is the greatest of plants" (Mt 13:31-32). (97) Laudato Si
First Reading: Wisdom 12:13, 16-19
Psalm: 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16
Second Reading: Romans 8:26-27
Gospel: Matthew 13:24-43
Catechism of the Catholic Church
The truth that God is at work in all the actions of his creatures is inseparable from faith in God the Creator. God is the first cause who operates in and through secondary causes: "For God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Far from diminishing the creature's dignity, this truth enhances it. Drawn from nothingness by God's power, wisdom and goodness, it can do nothing if it is cut off from its origin, for "without a Creator the creature vanishes." Still less can a creature attain its ultimate end without the help of God's grace. (308) From the Daily Roman Missal, Introduction to the, Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time Cycle A
Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church:
Romans 8:26
With the unceasing amazement of those who have experienced the inexpressible love of God (cf. Rom 8:26), the New Testament grasps, in the light of the full revelation of Trinitarian love offered by the Passover of Jesus Christ, the ultimate meaning of the Incarnation of the Son and his mission among men and women. Saint Paul writes: "If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?" (Rom 8:31-32). Similar language is used also by Saint John: "In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins" (1 Jn 4:10). (30)

Following God's ways we seek justice supported not by authority, power laden decrees, but kindness. A kindness cloaked with clemency. For justice inflicting wrath never produces an end result desirable by God. True justice permits repentance and forgives offenseable acts for a win/win conclusion allowing all to move forward from the balm of a healing environment of reconciliation. As God desires all to journey with Him, He imparts understanding leniency for all. A display of might to shatter disbelief into a collage of tiny mirrors radiating God's love and encouraging reckless actions to cease. Will we error towards leniency or hunker down ready to pounce with the perceived strength of our authority to bring others into compliance with our mandates? Grounded in prayer will allow the Spirit to come to the assistance of our weakness if we harbor unbelief in the true power of leniency and kindness to harken the Kingdom of God, where we are good seeds sprouting among weeds. Rooted along with the weeds, we share the same soil, nutrients, rain and sunshine, so we must have an affinity for weeds among the grains of wheat. As they live in our neighborhood, blow in the same wind, will we be slow in anger to their frailties, as we look at our missteps too? Will we listen to their struggles to grow without cutting them short with condemnation for having a different DNA (Divine Not Acknowledged) perspective than ours (Divine Never Abandons)? To change a weed to a good seed, we must acknowledge the value of the weed, find it a purpose, so it no longer exists as a perceived nuisance, but a blessed part of creation. We must be leaven in the fields of life. Mix ourselves into the activities not retreat into a cave and peer out in horror, disbelief of what is happening, and in the process deny ourselves the light and nutrients of the field. For retrenchment means we have lost hope, we fear the weeds, viewing them not as companions in the field seeking common ground, and shared experiences. We hinder our God-given potential and cease to blossom into robust grains of wheat. Only with vitality from being fed by the field, we express the mandates of God's kingdom with leniency, kindness and clemency for all.

Making All Votes Count in Wyoming
CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- The ACLU of Wyoming is advising residents to bring documentation of their citizenship to the polls Tuesday, in the wake of a correspondence from the Secretary of State's office questioning the legal status of some voters.
Sabrina King, policy director with the ACLU of Wyoming, said no one should be blocked from voting because of an unconfirmed suspicion.
"Any correspondence that comes out that might make people afraid to vote, or would maybe send the message that you're not welcomed to vote here, is a message that we don't want to be sending to voters," King said.
According to King, the agency, headed by Ed Murray, sent county clerks a list of registered voters whose citizenship they questioned. She said that even though some of the voters' statuses were on file, many received letters asking them to confirm their citizenship before they would be allowed to vote. The Secretary of State's office said their efforts to uphold the law would actually help ensure voters don't experience barriers at the polls.
King said it's important that voters bring documentation, such as valid official identification or naturalization papers, to the polls.
"There are actually some people who have been removed from the voter list because of this," King said. "So you can do same-day registration. If you have your papers with you, you can register right there at the polls and you can still vote."
Wyoming has a long history of open elections - it was the first state to allow women to vote - and typically has a higher turnout than other states, King noted. But she said since local races are frequently determined by a handful of votes, it's critical to make sure everyone has a chance to cast a ballot.
"That is what we are here to do as voters, is to ensure that our government is providing the best services to everyone," she said. "And that is all of our citizens, whether they were recently naturalized or a fifth-generation rancher."

What is Data Minimization?
Data minimization refers to measures performed by organizations to limit the personal data they collect and process from individuals to include only information that is relevant or necessary to accomplish specific purposes.
Benefits of Data Minimization
- Essential principle of data protection
- Decreases internal and external threat surface areas
- Adheres to EU GDPR compliance
- Might reduce data storage costs
Dataguise Solutions for Data Minimization
Dataguise software provides powerful tools to simplify data minimization for businesses regardless of the amount of data or location(s) of the data being stored.
Data Discovery
Dataguise's powerful data discovery scans across multiple data repositories including cloud storage in order to identify potentially sensitive data collected by an organization no matter whether the data is structured, unstructured, or saved as free-form text.
Data Mapping
Once data discovery is complete Dataguise will map out an inventory detailing classification and locations where the sensitive data was detected. Businesses can then leverage the data mapping to identify data to be remediated or sensitive data to be deleted.
Data Protection
Dataguise provides data protection measures like encryption and data masking, including pseudonymization as it relates to the EU GDPR, to remediate or eliminate irrelevant personal data items from individual records to allow processing while minimizing potential risks.
Data Minimization in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Data minimization is mentioned numerous times within the GDPR, both as requirements and safeguards. Data minimization is included within the following GDPR articles:
Article 5 (Chapter II): Data minimization is identified as a requirement under the principles for processing personal data. Specifically, the GDPR states, "personal data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed".
Article 25 (Chapter IV): As a measure for data protection by design and by default, GDPR requires organizations to incorporate data minimization into the total lifecycle of their products, services, and processes.
Article 47 (Chapter V): Binding corporate rules (BCRs) need to include data minimization, with respect to the personal data processing principles, for approval as a safeguard to transfer personal data to third countries or international organizations.
Article 89 (Chapter IX): Data minimization is reiterated as a principle for processing personal data in relation to archiving for scientific, historical or statistical purposes.

Our Massage Environment in Lake Worth, Florida
Our massage environment is made for your escape to encourage relaxation. From our dimmed lighting to relaxing music, our massages are meant for you to disconnect. Disconnect from your outside environment of work, smartphones, and stress.
Generally, massage therapy environments are made to encourage relaxation. Low lighting paired with comforting quiet and soft music allows you to disconnect from the outside world, and your electronics, so you can unwind and truly focus on the present.
According to the Mayo Clinic, massages have been shown to Increase serotonin and dopamine levels by 28% and 21% and reduce your stress hormone levels by 30%.
Balancing your hormones is important, along with relieving muscle tension. Due to stress, your muscles tighten. When you are not stressed, your muscles relax. Your muscles need this relaxation period because when you are constantly stressed, your muscles are in a constant state of tension. This prolonged stressed is a cause for headaches, neck pain, joint pain and more.

Sean Dyche insists the Clarets face an important game as they bid to book their place in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup for the first time since 2014.
Burnley face Roses rivals Leeds United at Turf Moor tonight on the back of a derby win at Blackburn Rovers in round two.
And while Dyche makes no secret of the fact that building on his side's impressive start in the Premier League is his priority, he still sees the cup clash as a key game for his players as they look to knock-out the Championship leaders, who lost for the first time this season at Millwall last Saturday.
The Burnley boss said: "Leeds have had a really good start with the obvious blip at the weekend.
"Their challenge is obvious; a big club trying to get back into the big league.
"I don't know where the cup ranks in importance for Leeds but we have to take the game seriously, as we always do.
"They're a big club at the top of the league who will have a heightened feeling about what is possible this season. It's important to remind our players that this is another important game.
"It's funny how a lot is made of how the big clubs change their teams. Well, you look at how many big clubs have won it down the years.
"They're still finding a way whether they change their teams or not."
The Clarets won at Ewood Park to set up a second League Cup meeting with Leeds
Dyche has said that he will alter the side that drew at 1-1 at Liverpool last Saturday as Burnley extended their unbeaten away start.
And while Dyche knows winning a trophy would be a 'huge thing' for the Clarets, he is aware of the need to strike a balance with looking to maintain Burnley's Premier League progress.
Dyche added: "The brand of the Premier League has a knock-on effect to the entire area. The whole town of Burnley benefits from the team being in the Premier League.
"A cup run can do the same but it is the constant attention which the Premier League brings.
"You don't plan to lose a cup game. Winning a cup is a big honour which will remain forever, but being in the Premier League brings a constant stream of good health to a club."
Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen - who has made an impressive start to his managerial career in England after arriving from Cypriot club Apoel during the summer - is also expected to make changes to his side, which has beaten League Two sides Port Vale and Newport County to reach round three.
He has a number of defensive injury problems but insists his side will take a positive approach to a tie being beamed live at Elland Road, with the visitors selling their ticket allocation of just over 2,000.
The Dane - the top scorer in the Bundesliga in 2002/03 when he played for Bochum - said: "There is a possibility that we will see some more of the players who haven't had as many minutes this season.
"I know we are facing a good team from the Premier League, who have started the season very well, but our intention is to go for the game and I believe we can go there and make it a good match.
"We know we will be coming up against a team with a lot of quality and it will be another tough match, like all the games we have had up until now."

Graphics Dojo
I went to spend a little time with my "family" in England last week which was also just amazing.
The most important news though is that thanks to amazing work that Marius did on labs.trolltech.com I've got a Qt focused graphics corner. Being a Graphics Ninja, I've decided to call it the Graphics Dojo. The first action point was the release of some of the examples that I wrote in my spare time. You can take a look at an overview here or go directly to page 1 or page 2. There's a few ones I've never shown before, like Mario Klingemann influenced Ring of Fire.
I hope that the "Graphics Dojo" and the articles which I'll be posting on it will help everyone write better looking interfaces.

Hi Zack, I was wondering if you went home all right after Bossa! :-)
I'm waiting for that benchmark where llvm-gcc will outperform microsoft's compiler with Qt :-)
I'm now wondering benefits of compiling whole kde with it, using link time optimizations and other new features!
PS: we've forwarded your notice about Bossa Conference organization to Janaina, she must be happy :-)

Thank you sensei !
Your examples are really great : short enough to understand them, and really interesting.

Is it possible to browse the example codes whihc are in svn using viewvc or viewcvs like most svn repositories provide? Making links from your example pages so we can quickly and easily view the code would rock.
