Jon Hopkins | 09/24/14
Following a string of incredible summer festival performances, including Pitchfork Music Festival and Osheaga, Jon Hopkins is pleased to announce the release of a 4 track EP, entitled "Asleep Versions," available November 11th in the US (November 10th in the rest of the world).
Watch an animated trailer for the EP, designed and directed by Robert Hunter and listen to Form By Firelight feat. Raphaelle Standell below.
In news sure to delight New York-based fans, a one-off headline show has been announced for November 21st, Jon Hopkins will be playing the FIXED 10 Year Anniversary event at Output in Brooklyn. All worldwide live dates are below.
"Asleep Versions" was recorded at Sundlaugin Studios near Reykjavik in February of this year. Intended to be heard as one, single 25-minute piece, it is composed of four decelerated, dreamlike re-imaginings of tracks from the Mercury-nominated Immunity. Representing the quieter, more meditative side of the album, these new explorations take its hypnotic, transcendent qualities to a far deeper level. At times almost painfully beautiful, the EP contains a new, semi-acoustic re-interpretation of album track "Form By Firelight," featuring additional vocals from the Braids and Blue Hawaii lead vocalist, Raphaelle Standell.
"Asleep Versions" will be available in 12", CD and digitally. Pre-order the 12" and CD from Domino Mart or digitally from iTunes. In addition, there'll be a limited edition double CD package of both Immunity and "Asleep Versions" available on November 10th. Pre-order it now from Domino Mart.

It starts with an innocent swim in the small hours, a swim that will end in fear and death for Chrissie Watkins. For Police Chief Martin Brody her death marks the beginning of the worst time of his life - professionally and personally. Wanting to protect the people of Amity, he wants to report the attack but the Mayor and other members of the community block him at every turn - worried about the summer folks finding out about the attack and not coming, Despite the contempt with which the summer folks are seen by some, they are the lifeblood of the community. When a second death occurs and then a third the news leaks out and things just get that much harder - for Brody and Amity. As the death count mounts Brody learns more about his town than he ever wanted to know.
Until now my only experience of Jaws was watching the movie, and I am not ashamed to admit that every time I watch it I get the shivers when I am anywhere near the ocean. The movie is atmospheric and creepy, partly because it takes so long for you to see the shark in the first place! I was expecting the book to be a lot like the movie and I was extremely surprised to realise how different it actually was. I'm not particularly prudish, but I was surprised by the language in the book - I didn't realise that swearing like a sailor was the thing back in the 1970s or that a publisher would have allowed a book to be published with so many swear words (and those swear words in particular)! I was also surprised by how much Brody drank - it seemed like there was a beer or some other form of alcohol in every scene.
For a retro read (one more than ten years old) there is a lot of currency in Jaws - partly driven by the character development and the timeless story of a small community that survives by the skin of its teeth. There are other themes that appear too, particularly in the comparison between the summer folk who come and enjoy their summers, and the local people who hang in for life and live in a parasitic relationship with the summer folk and their money. I don't remember there being so much tension between Brody and his wife Ellen in the movie, and it was interesting to explore the relationship and the themes of resentment and lose - particularly as it seems to reflect the era as well. There are some interesting surprises here too in the expanded story which includes personal pressure, secrets, and conspiracies - and did I mention the mob? Jaws was well worth a read, and now I have read it I plan to watch the movie again to see how close the movie is to the book.

Today's Reading 1 at Mass came from 1 John 4. The last two and a half verses are beautifully true:
God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him. In this is love brought to perfection among us, that we have confidence on the day of judgment because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not perfect in love.
Attain union with God and experience everything St. John has said here.

NEWS: PACER, IBM partner to open model center in India for people with disabilities
PACER, IBM partner to open model center in India for people with disabilities
The first comprehensive assistive technology center serving people with disabilities in India opened on Sept. 13, thanks to a partnership between PACER Center, IBM Corporation, and the Spastics Society of Karnataka (SSK) in Bangalore, India.
"This center will be a model for the rest of the country," said Paula F. Goldberg, executive director of PACER Center, a national parent center in the U.S. "We're very excited about this tremendous opportunity, and we appreciate the support of corporations in India and the U.S. to make this center a reality."
More than 350 people attended the Sept. 13 inauguration of the Spastics Society of Karnataka Assistive Technology Centre for Education and Life Skills Training on the campus of the SSK, a nonprofit agency serving children and young adults with disabilities. The new center will give
people with disabilities in India the opportunity to learn, communicate, and participate more fully in many work and life activities.
Through a collaborative effort involving parents, professionals, and consumers, the center will provide numerous services, including technology consultations, workshops on technology-related topics, individual training, and library facilities. The new center was modeled after PACER's Simon Technology Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
The opening of the center "is a milestone in international cooperation," said inauguration keynote speaker Paul Ackerman, Ph.D., an international consultant on disability and a noted author. He was formerly with the United States Department of Education, providing assistance to projects aiding children and adults with disabilities in India.
Shanker Annaswamy, Manager Director, IBM India Pvt. Ltd, also spoke at the inauguration. "IBM is committed to enable differently challenged people with technology and expertise. Our volunteers and consultants are engaged in supporting this centre," he said. "It's heartening to see how quickly children are adapting and growing when they get access to these types of assistive technologies."
The inauguration's guest of honor was Shri. P.M.Narendra Swamy, Honorable Minister for Women and Child Development, Government of Karnataka. The ceremony was also attended by Mrs. Rukmini Krishnaswamy, executive director of SSK, Bridget Ames, coordinator of PACER's Simon
Technology Center (STC) in the U.S., and others.
PACER Center provided training for the SSK staff and solicited corporate donors and assistive technology vendors to contribute technology, financial gifts, and volunteer time to help build and support the center. IBM donated the hardware and Accessibility Works software. IBM
consultants and volunteers will also help support this center.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is the oldest and most-often cited stock market index for the American equities market. Along with other major indices such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, it remains one of the most visible representations of the stock market to the outside world. The index consists of 30 blue chip companies and is a price-weighted index as opposed to a market-cap weighted index. This approach has made it somewhat controversial among market watchers. (See: Opinion: The DJIA is a Relic and We Need to Move On) The history of the index dates all the way back to 1896 when it was first created by Charles Dow, the legendary founding editor of the Wall Street Journal and founder of Dow Jones & Company, and Edward Jones, a statistician.

On September 22-28, we had a group of eight participants come to the Willow Creek Ranch, in Central Wyoming. Participants came as far as Belgium, Connecticut, Michigan, Kansa, and Colorado as well as Wyoming and Montana. Three of the participants came from one of my previous workshops, which I consider a huge compliment.
Wyoming weather in September can be iffy, but then again, any time in Wyoming can be iffy. This fall was no exception, but the weather was beyond our wildest hopes.
In 5 days of shooting, we had everything from bright sun, to light overcast, to grey, to amazing clouds, to rain, and on the last day, an incredibly beautiful snowfall. The snowfall is pretty rare this time of year, but what a way to cap off the workshop! Looking at the pictures, one would think we had spent the entire fall there.
The cowboys were bringing the cattle down from the mountains, and we had several opportunities to photograph them from faraway, and close-up. We rubbed shoulders with them before breakfast, during the day, and far into the evening! We camped out one night, at the original Hole-in-the Wall camp, where Butch Cassidy would hide out.
And our camp was not exactly a "roughing it" type of camp. When we arrived, after photographing some of the many petroglyphs that can be found throughout the ranch, we came into our camp where cowboy tee-pees, wall tents, chuck-wagon, and a huge fire-pit were in full operation. My one and only non-photographic job, was to go arounds and find out how everybody wanted their steaks cooked…
On of the local cowboys who had an encyclopedic knowledge of local and regional history, filled us in on Butch Cassidy, The Sundance Kid, the Johnson County Cattle Wars, as well as the Sioux Trail, which goes right through the 57,000 acre ranch.
After supper, we got rained on a bit, but were all happily congregated underneath the chuck wagon fly. Our cowboy-historian pulled out a guitar and played non-stop for hours. And he seemed to know about every song that has ever been written.
The owners of the Willow Creek Ranch had just finished remodeling a small airplane hanger into a meeting room. They were just putting on some final touches the day before the workshop began. These touches included a 60″ flat screen TV and a Blue-Ray player. There was a huge boardroom table that allowed 9 of us to completely spread out with our laptops and equipment, and fresh fruit and drinks at the bar in the corner of the room. My main concern were that the chairs, the high-backed, tilting, swiveling kind, would be the key to the workshops demise, as these were just too comfortable for words.
It did not take long for all of us, workshop participants, ranch owners, cowboys, cooks, crew , and a couple of other visitors to become one big happy family. Not an exaggeration.
The lengths our hosts took to get us around and make us happy was beyond expectation. Very caring, giving people. They even had two of the most beautiful little girls I have ever seen that mingled and helped and were more grounded than many adults I know. Great models and powerful purveyors of great ranch deserts.
I had wondered how people would react to a bunch of crazy photographers, taking umpteen billions of photos of the cowboys. I don't know how well I would do with 9 cameras trained on me off and on for 5 straight days, but they genuinely enjoyed it.
The last night I took all the participant's favorite work, organized it into an impromptu slide show with music, and we all gathered (photographers, owners, daughters, cowboys, cooks, and a couple of other guests), and had had a final photo-presentation. Everybody loved it. I was very proud of my group, and was asked by literally everybody to send them a CD so they could share it with their friends and family.
And nobody really wanted to leave on the last day.
***Next year, 2014, I plan to two more workshops in this same location.
Spring, ( which is often June in Wyoming), is being planned at the moment, but we hope will involve a day of branding, a day of Rodeo (or two), a visit to the luxury Hole-in-the Wall camp where we will have the option to overnight, and more.
Fall workshop will be fashioned after this year's.
*** No horseback riding is required. It could be arranged, and might become a totally separate workshop at some point, but the best way of covering a lot of ground in a little time, tracking the cowboys who are moving cattle, and carrying any equipment is by a ranch truck and small hiking method. To immerse yourself into your photography in this workshop, is to concentrate on one thing only. Honing your photographic skills.
Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com for further information, and/or if you would like to be notified of future photo workshops.

Larry Hepper and his Clarry no-electricity-needed, portable pellet stove. He designed it to provide heat for tents or cabins on his frequent hunting trips.
Clarry stoves is simple. The hardest part, for most, is lifting the 40-pound pellet bag.
Frank Vandeventer warming his hands. His business savvy is helping the company grow steadily in a hot market.
Pellet stoves are not usually considered members of that select assemblage of heating appliances that can be moved from place to place with relative ease. As a general rule, they are heavy and bulky and unable to perform their assigned function without a ready source of electricity to run the auger that drops the pellets into the primary burn chamber.
For the most part then, a pellet stove becomes a permanent fixture set upon a hearth with an electrical outlet nearby, emitting a highly predictable number of BTUs per hour, so long as the hopper is full and the auger is running. It's an arrangement many folks are happy with. An estimated 60,000-plus new pellet stoves were shipped in the U.S. in 2014, with sales expected to do nothing but rise in the coming years.
- RELATED STORY: Clarry Pellet Stoves Are Designed for Today's Hunters
This is not really surprising. At 75- to 90-percent efficiency, pellet stoves are remarkably clean burning, outperforming conventional wood burners by a factor of two or three in terms of emissions. Moreover, the fuel to run them is mostly made from forest residues that would otherwise have been burned in slash piles, dumped in landfills or simply been allowed to accumulate on the forest floor in areas where wildfires are a constant danger.
There are drawbacks, of course. Consuming over 100 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per month, a conventional pellet stove uses as much electricity as three or more refrigerators, making them positively off-limits for off-gridders like myself. And then there's the fuel. Unlike firewood, which is almost always a locally obtained heating fuel, compressed hardwood pellets are a worldwide commodity that's subject to the ups and downs of a volatile marketplace.
But while there is little that can be done about the price or availability of wood pellets—which in any case can be stockpiled when the market is down and availability is high—you really don't have to keep your clean-burning pellet stove tethered to an electrical grid that often fails just when you need it the most.
Grid-Free Heat
Living entirely off the power grid with no sources of electricity beyond the sun and wind (and, from time to time, a Honda gas generator), I am keenly interested whenever someone comes up with a truly useful apparatus that requires little or no electrical input. The Clarry electricity-free pellet stove fits that requirement nicely. In place of an auger to ferry fuel pellets from the hopper to the burn chamber, the Clarry stove's hopper sits just above the burn chamber, where the pellets drop in as needed, via the force of gravity. The hopper is designed to hold one 40-pound bag of premium hardwood pellets, which, depending on the model and burn-rate setting, will keep the stove going comfortably for eight to 12 hours. And all without a single watt of electricity.
The stove's no-electricity requirement was not born out of a desire to lessen the demands on an often overworked electrical grid, however, nor was it to placate people like me who are necessarily selective about what constitutes a valid expenditure of wattage. Rather, the stove's designer, Larry Hepper, wanted a stove that would go places no electric power lines can: the backwoods tents of deer, elk and sheep hunters, with the hearty souls who brave the freezing temps of late fall for days on end in hopes of filling their freezers with steroid-free meat and their trophy walls with awe-inspiring racks.
As someone who has spent many months living in a wall tent while mining gold in California and Alaska, I can verify that they are hard shelters to keep warm. My heat source back then was a sheet-metal sheepherder's stove that would hold a fire for a couple of hours, at best.
Though not the kind of stoves that lend themselves well to pack trips, Clarry stoves are nonetheless light and portable. The two models designed for use in tents and ice-fishing shacks, the RE and RME, weigh in at 100 and 65 pounds, respectively, and break down into a compact collection of components for easy transport. Handles on the stove's sides make it easy to carry, and the removable (and adjustable) legs store out of the way between the carrying handles on the stove body.
Home & Hearth
Because of its simple yet ingenious design, a Clarry stove will heat up quickly—within 10 minutes—and the stove body will reach temperatures of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is due in large part to the patented air-induction system. As Larry Hepper's partner, Frank Vandeventer, explained, "Unlike most similar stoves on the market, we bring in the air beneath the fire grate. We do this by putting a notch in the ash drawer sides for the grate-access door to drop into and hold the proper opening for air passage. This keeps the flame well away from the front of the pile of pellets that are burning, thereby not preheating the pellets in the feed chute coming from the hopper."
It's a safer way to burn pellets, and it allowed the designers to install a manual heat control in the grate-access door, which cools the stove and extends the burn time on a bag of pellets by about 30 percent.
- RELATED STORY: Radiant Vs. Convection Energy: Which Heating System is Best?
Because of its success in the outdoors market, it was just a matter of time before people wanted a Clarry stove they could use to heat permanent structures. So, after a bit of tweaking, followed by a series of tests performed by Omni-Test Laboratory in Portland, Oregon, the new 110-pound CST and the smaller 75-pound CSS units were first certified as safe for weekend cabins, and later for use in full-time residences. As an added bonus, they were also found to be remarkably clean-burning.
While the newly certified models were being installed in permanent homes and cabins, new markets for these eminently portable stoves quickly presented themselves, including shop buildings, line shacks, greenhouses, ice-fishing houses and yurts. The list continues to grow. In areas such as the Northeast where pellet fuel is widely used but power outages are frequent, the Clarry pellet stove's portability will make it a perfect backup source for warmth and cooking.
Small But Powerful
The Clarry's small size and peculiar lazy-U design belie its remarkable heating capabilities. The larger CST pellet stove can crank out 65,000 BTUs per hour when running full tilt, while the smaller CSS unit is capable of 55,000 BTUs. These are numbers you see advertised for much larger (and more expensive) watt-hungry pellet stoves routinely used to heat 1,500- and 2,000-square-foot homes.
What I like most about the Clarry is the motivation behind it. Larry's original intent was not to start a business that would make him lots of money; he just wanted to keep his tent warm. The rest of it grew of its own volition, like an idea that had come to life. He has received dozens of endorsements from people who have used his stoves, but the one he chose to share with TNP came from a sheep hunter from Nevada who told him, "It's the first time I've ever woken up in a hunting tent comfortable in my skivvies." That's music to Larry's ears.
Field To Homestead
You could say that Larry Hepper was destined to develop the Clarry pellet stove; certainly his life pointed him in that direction from a young age. Growing up in South Dakota on his grandparents' farms, he got a strong dose of the outdoor life he still loves today. He took up game hunting while in his teens, and honed his mechanical skills on every manner of farm machinery.
Then, in 1973, while in his early 20s, Larry met Frank Vandeventer. It was a fateful meeting. The two hiked, hunted and fished together, and later worked for the same heavy-construction outfit, where Larry maintained the equipment and did some over-the-road driving.
ONE HOT ITEM: Fast-forward now to 2007. Larry had by then spent several years nurturing an idea for a lightweight, portable stove to take on hunting trips, and by the time he naively asked Frank how to go about starting a business, his brainchild had endured a number of painful transformations from a sheet-metal affair with a straight burn chamber to pretty much what it is today.
When Frank saw what Larry had been working on, he wanted in. A new business was born. Frank, the more business savvy of the two, set out to develop the new company. Larry, with the help of hunting partner Carl Williamson, continued to test and improve the stove, spreading the word verbally through his network of hunting and fishing friends, and by attending trade shows catering to potential customers.
In 2008 the first stoves hit the market, and the rest, as they say, is history. The Clarry stove continues to expand its niche in the marketplace, and Larry and Frank couldn't be happier just doing what they love to do.

Kaplan 800 GMAT
The difference between Kaplan 800 and Kaplan GMAT 2007 (with CD-Rom) is that Kaplan 800 does not come with a CD-Rom, but includes all the difficult questions from Kaplan GMAT 2007. Kaplan GMAT 2007 comes in two versions: 1 with CD-Rom, the other without. Between the two Kaplan GMAT 2007 versions, make sure to get the books that include the practice CD-Rom. They're only about $15 more expensive than the books without the CD-Rom and the practice tests are definitely worth it! Here we only include the CD-Rom version.
Two things set Kaplan's book apart from the Princeton's Review's book. First, Kaplan's book tends to focus on methodical ways of doing problems whereas the Princeton Review's book looks more at shortcuts for solving problems. Which one you choose depends on your personal preference for solving problems. If you're the type who likes a step-by-step method for each problem, Kaplan is the book for you. On the other hand, if you would rather skip all that and just learn the quickest way to find the answer, the Princeton Review's book might be more suited to you.
The other main difference is the difficulty of the practice exams included with the book on a CD-Rom. Kaplan's practice tests tend to be more difficult than the actual exam while the Princeton Review's tests are a little easier. Again, which one you choose is a matter of personal preference as to how high you want to see yourself scoring before the real thing.
Consult the Game Plan to determine if you should buy one or both of these books. Regardless of what you decide, make sure to get the books that include the practice CD-Rom. They're only about $15 more expensive than the books without the CD-Roms and the practice tests are definitely worth it!

Maintaining a Balance between Work and Studies is no more painful
The majority of students who plan to pursue distance learning often stand clueless as how they can handle their job and pursue their studies at the same time. To be practical, it all depends on the strategies and efforts you take to balance these two crucial tasks with perfection. There is no such technology that can help you work and study with ease. So, it's you who will be entirely responsible for taking up such a challenge.
Well, do you know that working and studying together is no longer a myth today? Earlier, lot of individuals had made it possible and had even come out with flying colors to get established in their careers. So, there is nothing to panic. You just need to know the right steps that can help you work and study effortlessly. Here are those steps you can always consider:
Make changes in your daily routine – Yes, it's not easy. However, if you want success knocking your doors, you must do it by any means. Chat with your friends, give time to your family, meet your work targets and attend your piano classes with pleasure. Just make sure to set time limits for all these activities, and then only you can extract time for your online classes despite handling a hectic work schedule.
Set your priorities – Throughout the day, you might have to take up a lot of responsibilities at home as well as at your work place. Besides, you might have to offer a bit of help to your dad in his business. So, these are certainly going to be your priorities. Therefore, it's better if you can make a list of all your priorities so that you can calculate the right amount of time you can give to your coursework.
Manage your time – Remember, you are going to study from your home and not by attending your campus since you are working. This means that you will study independently managing your own time. Full-time classes are all limited by hours, whereas an online learner is required to set his/her own timings for attending the online classes. Since an online course is extremely flexible, you can chalk out a schedule according to your own convenience and get going.
Don't take too much stress – Refreshment also play a key factor behind your success. So, if you think that you are just going to work and study throughout the entire day on a daily basis, you will never get positive results. Rather, you must ensure that you are going to take at least a weekend break from your work and studies so that you can sustain a good balance between them.
Talk to your employer – There are several companies where employers willingly allow their employees to pursue higher studies. In fact, some of them sponsor a certain portion of the course fee that can help their respective employees complete the course program without financial complications. Well, if not for money, you can always appeal for time consideration. You never know he might lessen your work hours and you can therefore get ample time for your studies.
So, you see how you can easily continue your work and get considerable hours for studying online at the same time. Well, if you decide to enroll in a business management or any equivalent course from UK universities or any such globally recognized institutions, your employer might be impressed with your career plans.
So, there is simply nothing to worry. You just need to do your researches well, choose an accredited institution and get going with full effort and dedication. Believe me, you will be a successful person. Good luck!!

Not everybody can star in Footloose, but they certainly seem to be trying.
On the same day that Paramount finally confirmed what we've been telling you for weeks—that Chace Crawford would headline the remake of the song-and-dance extravaganza—Miley Cyrus has surfaced as the latest hot young thing being considered for the leading-lady role.
"They've expressed interest in Miley for the part," a source close to the tween queen said.
A source close to the production further added that Cyrus "is definitely in the mix."
As it stands, that mix currently includes Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Bynes and Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne Hough, all of whom have auditioned in recent weeks for the part of Ariel Moore, the independent daughter of a preacher man, originated in the 1984 classic by Lori Singer.
One starlet who hasn't auditioned for the role: Cyrus. Presumably because her singing, dancing and audience-pulling prowess have already been proven.
While Cyrus' reps had no comment on the potential casting coup, it may be a bit premature to think she'll sign on the dotted line. Her schedule is booked solid right now.
The Disney star will soon be heading down to Georgia, with production on the adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' as yet unreleased book The Last Song scheduled to begin June 15. And then she's back to her day job as Hannah Montana.
Footloose begins shooting in March 2010, Paramount says (making the previously announced release date of June 18, 2010, unlikely).
Meanwhile, after more than a month of courtship, the studio has finally locked up Crawford.
As we first reported, the Gossip Girl guy had been in line for the role of small-town scofflaw Ren McCormack since Zac Efron got cold feet and dropped out.
Crawford and another Dancing With the Stars pro, Julianne's brother Derek Hough, were among those to audition for the role originated by Kevin Bacon.

Education in IMTA gave me the opportunity to look sensibly at the world and everything that happens around. Now I know that it is not necessary to adjust their lives beneath something or someone. Starting always be with you. I made a lot of discoveries in themselves. Now my identity is manifested in everything: in the behavior, in conversation, in interest.
I have always believed in miracles. And even in his youth collecting wonderful events of his life. It is believed that a miracle - it is an outstanding instantaneous event that happens suddenly. While studying at the IMTA was convinced that in the life of railway workers often miracles happen. The main thing is to follow the principles. And not just to understand their mind and learn to control that they are living in me to be able to act without thinking.
My personal experience has shown me very well what and where my family was not as it should be. Now, applying the knowledge gained in the IMTA, and as a result of his life experiences, I slowly straighten the building, which is already quite rickety.
Motto: "Absolute Idea - absolute method!" The means and methods to - strictly verified mechanism by which we can solve the problem defined purpose. Goals and objectives are linked to each other the principle of direct and feedback and amplified the Law of Cause and Effect and control theory. Taking the last phrase of the atheistic "The purpose of dictating (not justified, and dictates!) Means" we have used the usual stereotypes, so as soon as possible to explain the essence of the problem. The inverse relationship "means determined target" as valid and binding.
The aim and the means - the two ends of the same stick, one can not be without the other. Properly chosen direction leads to the selection of the necessary techniques of movement, but also the use of correct procedures somehow brings to the vital goals, even if it is initially not clearly defined. Competent agents are competent to achieve the goal. That is, you do not necessarily see clearly the end of the path - and how it will be considered in such a distance?
Marx believed his good purpose, but argued evil ways and evil means to achieve these goals. Through evil through hatred and anger, jealousy and revenge through through discord and violent destruction of the kingdom must come harmony, unity, brotherhood of man. But evil means winning the final to become the only content of life. Hatred never leads to love, strife never leads to unity, the killing can never lead to a life of violence never leads to freedom. No evil ways to good. On the evil ways triumphs evil. When wickedness entered the human heart and poisoned him, it will do the work of destruction of life.

If you can go, why are you running? If you can sit, why do you stand? If you can lie, why are you sitting? If you can sleep, then why are you awake? What is the reason? Why can not you sleep ?! Give yourself the answer.
Q: There is a perception that the law is neither fair nor perfect.
Answer: It depends on what kind of law we speak. The legislative framework of the Russian Federation or any other state - is one thing. The government created the people and, by definition, relatively, that is, perfect, even if we disregard the stupid and malicious. Bu

He wasn't sure how he was going to put it all back together. He's been home six months now and it was clear that nothing was going to be the same. Worse was that nobody here was someone he could expect to understand. Nobody here in little town Oregon had to sacrifice for Vietnam at all. Most everyone here had been able to play it safe. It was the poor sons of a bitches with no College and no hope of escape from the draft that did. As he made his way around town, you could see people's conversations about it trail off like forbidden whispers.
Over there, he'd met so many people, learning their jungle nicknames just long enough to remember them in a prayer service a few days afterward. He remember the day he was promoted and would be leading a squad. His men didn't know whether to congratulate him or say sorry. Who wanted to lead anybody or anything into the shit? He was lucky enough to have come home intact. At least, physically. He would come out here to the beach of his youth and let the dull roar of the surf replace the echoes of suffering ringing in his ears.

Cover Song - Louie Louie performed by Motorhead
This is one of my earliest memories of a cover song by a non-pop group. A friend of mine had lent me a tape called something like "A Quiet Night In" and this was one of the tracks on it. It was love at first listen.

Just like in the bible, imagine that
"And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such." Exodus 10:14
As if we hadn't already seen enough Biblical events this year, a plague of over 30 million locusts swarmed over Egypt's cities and farms just three weeks before Passover begins.
But put your apocalyptic fears to rest. This happens every year as part of the locusts' natural migration pattern, though this year's swarm is especially large.
That doesn't mean Egyptians aren't freaked the heck out by millions of nasty bugs buzzing through the air at all hours of day and night, possibly descending upon the agriculture fields where they're known to destroy entire crops, just like in the actual Passover story.
The crops are so far safe, Egyptian officials assured the public. As the plague made its way from the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia at the end of last week and this weekend, though, Egyptian Agricultural Minister Salah Abdel Moamen explained the situation to the country in a calmly worded statement.
"The current inspection teams at areas targeted by locusts did not witness swarms damaging a single inch of crop," said Moamen. He added that the locusts are "sexually immature and do not depend on plants for energy since they mainly rely on fat stores."
That said, these plages can be unpredictable. Egyptian officials didn't expect the plague to pass by the country's capital, until Sunday when the locusts unexpectedly arrived in Cairo. The government denied reports that the locusts had started devastating crops as well as a report from United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) that the Ministry of Agriculture cleared 11,000 hectares of land in an attempt to save the harvest. When they get hungry, a one-ton hoard of locusts can eat the same amount of food in one day as 2,500 humans, according to the UN. Egypt knows this too. Less than a decade ago, a plague of locusts nearly 40 miles wide swept over Egypt damaging crops at the majority of the country's farms. That's a picture of it, to the right.
Conflicting reports aside, Moamen insists that the government has everything under control. "Egyptian armed forces and the border guards are attempting to fight the swarm with the means at their disposal," the agriculture minister said. "I ask the families living in the locust-plagued areas not to burn tires. This does not chase away the locusts, but only causes damage and could ignite large scale fires that would cost in lives." Also, that smoke isn't doing Egypt's grandchildren any favors. Scientists anticipate that, as global warming worsens, plagues like this will also get worse. source – The Atlantic Wire

Bathtime for little rabbit
By Jorg Muhle
Gecko Press
This is a fun follow-up to Tickle my ears. What I love about this wee board book is that readers are encouraged to interact with little rabbit and participate in his bath time routine. Children are able to help rabbit as he takes his bath.
After his bath rabbit needs more help, especially when it comes to getting dry. Lots of chances for little ones to purse their lips and blow. Rabbit is cute and just plain gorgeous and this will be a favourite not just for wee ones but for parents too. While Tickle my ears was a fun interactive read for setting up a bedtime routine, little rabbit's latest book will be great for helping set up a bath time routine. Young ones see just how easy and safe it is to have a bath and have heaps of fun too. A lovely, warm and reassuring book to share and enjoy.

Norman carries Fishburne past Hargrave Military Academy, 9-4
Treavor Norman proved to be a dual threat on Tuesday from both the mound and the plate, as Fishburne downed Hargrave 9-4.
Norman recorded 14 strikeouts and went 4-4 at the plate, including a triple in the fourth inning. He allowed four earned runs, four hits and 10 walks over seven innings.
Fishburne took an early 1-0 lead at the top of the first but was matched by Hargrave in the bottom of the inning. The game was never in doubt after the second inning, as Fishburne scored one run on a single by Thomas Fosdick, which brought home Timothy Arndt. Two runs in the bottom of the fourth helped Hargrave close the gap to 6-3, but Fishburne answered with another three runs in the fifth. A single by Fosdick ignited the offense, plating Solomon Adams and Arndt. Norman followed with a single, scoring Fosdick.
Hargarve scored one more run in the bottom of the sixth, but it was not enough.
Nick Paul took the loss for Hargrave, allowing eight runs in four innings, walking four and striking out four.
The win boosts Fishburne's record to 8-2. They play a make-up game against Roanoke Catholic at home on Wednesday.

The African Enlightenment: The highest ideals of Locke, Hume and Kant were first proposed more than a century earlier by an Ethiopian in a cave
The ideals of the Enlightenment are the basis of our democracies and universities in the 21st century: belief in reason, science, skepticism, secularism, and equality. In fact, no other era compares with the Age of Enlightenment. Classical Antiquity is inspiring, but a world away from our modern societies. The Middle Ages was more reasonable than its reputation, but still medieval. The Renaissance was glorious, but largely because of its result: the Enlightenment. The Romantic era was a reaction to the Age of Reason – but the ideals of today's modern states are seldom expressed in terms of romanticism and emotion. Immanuel Kant's argument in the essay 'Perpetual Peace' (1795) that 'the human race' should work for 'a cosmopolitan constitution' can be seen as a precursor for the United Nations.
As the story usually goes, the Enlightenment began with René Descartes's Discourse on the Method (1637), continuing on through John Locke, Isaac Newton, David Hume, Voltaire and Kant for around one and a half centuries, and ending with the French Revolution of 1789, or perhaps with the Reign of Terror in 1793. By the time that Thomas Paine published The Age of Reason in 1794, that era had reached its twilight. Napoleon was on the rise.
But what if this story is wrong? What if the Enlightenment can be found in places and thinkers that we often overlook? Such questions have haunted me since I stumbled upon the work of the 17th-century Ethiopian philosopher Zera Yacob (1599-1692), also spelled Zära Yaqob.
Yacob was born on 28 August 1599 into a rather poor family on a farm outside Axum, the legendary former capital in northern Ethiopia. At school he impressed his teachers, and was sent to a new school to learn rhetoric (siwasiw in Geéz, the local language), poetry and critical thinking (qiné) for four years. Then he went to another school to study the Bible for 10 years, learning the teachings of the Catholics and the Copts, as well as the country's mainstream Orthodox tradition. (Ethiopia has been Christian since the early 4th century, rivalling Armenia as the world's oldest Christian nation.)
In the 1620s, a Portuguese Jesuit convinced King Susenyos to convert to Catholicism, which soon became Ethiopia's official religion. Persecution of free thinkers followed suit, intensifying from 1630. Yacob, who was teaching in the Axum region, had declared that no religion was more right than any other, and his enemies brought charges against him to the king.
Yacob fled at night, taking with him only some gold and the Psalms of David. He headed south to the region of Shewa, where he came upon the Tekezé River. There he found an uninhabited area with a 'beautiful cave' at the foot of a valley. Yacob built a fence of stones, and lived in the wilderness to 'front only the essential facts of life', as Henry David Thoreau was to describe a similar solitary life a couple of centuries later in Walden (1854).
For two years, until the death of the king in September 1632, Yacob remained in the cave as a hermit, visiting only the nearby market to get food. In the cave, he developed his new, rationalist philosophy. He believed in the supremacy of reason, and that all humans – male and female – are created equal. He argued against slavery, critiqued all established religions and doctrines, and combined these views with a personal belief in a theistic Creator, reasoning that the world's order makes that the most rational option.
In short: many of the highest ideals of the later European Enlightenment had been conceived and summarised by one man, working in an Ethiopian cave from 1630 to 1632. Yacob's reason-based philosophy is presented in his main work, Hatäta (meaning 'the enquiry'). The book was written down in 1667 on the insistence of his student, Walda Heywat, who himself wrote a more practically oriented Hatäta. Today, 350 years later, it's hard to find a copy of Yacob's book. The only translation into English was done in 1976, by the Canadian professor and priest Claude Sumner. He published it as part of a five-volume work on Ethiopian philosophy, with the far-from-commercial Commercial Printing Press in Addis Ababa. The book has been translated into German, and last year into Norwegian, but an English version is still basically unavailable.

The concept of Beam Health was unearthed to meet the needs of children, young people and families navigating through mental health, emotional and cognitive challenges
As a group of passionate people with vast experience and skills in supporting children, young people and families and getting great outcomes, it was evident that something more was needed. It became disturbingly clear that children, young people and their families did not have easy access to the right therapeutic, psychologist and counselling supports to enable them to become all that they can be. This was particularly true for children and young people aged 8 to 25 years, who seemed to fall into a gap where specialist supports were not available to meet their unique needs.
Enable them to become all that they can be.
We became determined to do something about this and meet this need in some way, and spent years using our deep knowledge and experience in child development, trauma and relationships to carefully plan and research the best way to help children, young people and families that could benefit from some expert help. The solution was Beam – a service built on knowledge and experience, but with wings to fly where no service has gone before.
Beam officially commenced service in July 2016, with the following ambitions:
Our Purpose
We believe all children, young people and families should be able to live a bright life
What We Do
Through high quality psychology and speech pathology supports, we shine the light on the wellbeing of children, youth and families to enable them to be everything they can be
Our Core Values
Be great at what we do, because it means so much
We build healthy relationships through a genuine regard for the feelings, wishes and rights of others, which begins with how we act and carry ourselves.
Brighten Lives
We act and interact in ways that help children and young people live happier and healthier lives
Dedicated and friendly professionals
Our team of dedicated, experienced and friendly professionals use evidence-based strategies, which means they are the most effective and up-to-date techniques available. Our professional team members are all registered with their respective professional bodies and the NDIS and are approved to provide services by Medicare Australia and private health insurers. Our team possesses a wide array of skills to assist you with the needs of you or your child whether it be psychological or speech, language and communication.

Here's Garry's testimonial…
"Before we bought the Climber 7.16 we were using a John Deere 110 ride on to mow several steeper batters around the rural home sites which are grassed. The slope of the terrain and heavy dew often made using the John Deere difficult, and possibly susceptible to rolling over. Because of these challenges we embarked on an extensive internet search. This search led us to believe that the Grillo Climber would be the solution to our problem. Talking to the Grillo stocking dealer confirmed it and we bought our Climber 7.16 sight unseen several years ago from Coffs Harbour Stihl Shop.
We have been using the Climber 7.16 to mow the grassed hills as well as breaking in previously unmown areas. As you can see from the photos we had really high kikuyu grass and the very tough baldy grass as the property had not been maintained for more than 20 years.
After seeing the Climber's ability to tackle thick and heavy grasses and regrowth, we decided to cut a walking track down though our creek area. It is about 700 meters in length. This helps with access for weed control. As well as the mowing mentioned above, the Climbers excellent slashing ability also enables us to use it to supplement our 27HP Kubota slasher, as it fits into tight areas where the slasher cannot get to.
We have been very impressed with the Grillo Climber 7.16. In particular, the strength of the frame and general componentry has surpassed our expectations. Both Carol and I use the Grillo and would not hesitate in recommending the Grillo Climber range to others who are considering it".

Now that it finally feels like fall in North Carolina (after having several 80-degree days in October), I'm totally in a soup mood. The classic sausage, kale, and potato soup sounded good, but potatoes are a no-go for me right now since I'm on the AIP. Luckily, I have a newly-discovered arsenal of starchy tubers at my disposal that I can use instead! I decided to use a yam for this recipe, mostly because I had it on hand, but also because I've used them in a stew before and it was fantastic.
Just FYI, yams are NOTHING like sweet potatoes, despite the fact that sweet potatoes are often colloquially called "yams." And despite the fact that googling the word "yam" brings up tons of pictures of SWEET POTATOES. Argh. True yams are neutral-tasting, not sweet, white (not orange) on the inside, and are gigantic and hairy. I've bought them at my local Asian market (where they're labeled "ñame") and at Publix, surprisingly enough. Read more →

As a U.S. citizen looking to bring your whole family or a single family member over from another country to live with you here, the first thing on your to-do list should be to hire a family immigration attorney in Salt Lake City. Immigration laws are complex, making it difficult for the average person to know what to do. An attorney can walk you through the many, time-consuming steps involved in moving your loved ones to the United States, but first, here are some important things you should know.
Only Immediate Relatives Don't Have to Wait in Line
While you can petition for immigration for any relative, only your immediate family members will receive visas without having to wait. The rest of your family will be arranged into preference groups for which the number of annual visas is limited.
Immediate Family Members Include:
- Your spouse if you are a citizen
- Your parents, as long as you are over 21 years old, if you are a citizen
- Your unmarried children under 21 years of age if you are a citizen
Other Relatives Include:
- Your siblings if you are a citizen
- Your married children of any age if you are a citizen
- Your unmarried children over the age of 21 if you are a citizen
- Your unmarried children over the age of 21 if you only hold a green card
- Your spouse or unmarried children under 21 years of age if you only hold a green card
How to Begin the Family Immigration Process
If your relative is already in the United States, they can apply for a green card when a visa number becomes available by filling out Form I-485 with your family immigration attorney in Salt Lake City. If, however, they still live in another country, you must petition to the National Visa Center. When a visa number becomes available, the NVC will notify your family member of the next required steps. After receiving all applications, the NVC will forward the case to the country's embassy or consulate to conduct an interview.
The Usual Wait Time for Petition Processing
The wait time for processing immigration petitions may vary, depending on what group your relative has been categorized under. Immediate family members are processed faster than other relatives. In most cases, petitions are processed in the order in which they were received. More specific wait time information can be found on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service's (USCIS) website.
The best way to make the immigration process go more smoothly is to contact a family immigration attorney in Salt Lake City. At Familia America Immigration, we can explain the petition process, including who is eligible, and walk you through the forms and supporting documents that you'll need to file. If any complications come up, we can guide you through that too. Call us today at 801-656-9605 for expert advice.

One of the challenges facing higher education campus security departments is the lack of interoperability among security & life safety systems. Systems that don't integrate with one another are an impediment to the mission of keeping students and faculty secure. The campus security department is usually responsible for two, three, or more security applications from multiple vendors. If campus security staff is responsible for monitoring and managing alerts from multiple applications, user effectiveness and response can quickly become constrained.
Genetec Security Center is a single application that can unify IP video surveillance, access control, and automatic license plate recognition within one solution, helping to streamline security operations across campus. This technology enables the campus security team to become more proactive in identifying threats. As security needs grow, solutions and applications can easily be added.
With Security Center many common operations such as monitoring, reporting, alarm management, and configuration are streamlined into one application. Security Center also lets you implement a phased growth plan, so you can start with video surveillance or access control and unify other key systems over time. With this technology campuses can do the following:
- Unify monitoring
- Increase collaboration
- Minimize costs
- Expand campus security
- Improve reliability and maintenance
Security Center Unified Platform
Streamline Campus Systems
Security Center blends the following three systems. Other systems can be gradually added to manage all security systems from the same platform.
Video Surveillance can provide an all-encompassing view of a campus. Receive alarms tied to other systems to visually verify events and quickly respond to threats. Use maps and other features to easily pinpoint nearby devices, move pan-tilt-zoom cameras to get a better view of the situation, and track suspects as they move through campus buildings.
Access Control systems that are open let you choose your preferred door hardware, including wireless locks, allowing you to extend your IP access control system to local and isolated facilities throughout the campus. Every time an access card is used, a cardholder's picture and credentials can be linked to video so that campus officials can easily assess situations and respond. Develop one-card applications for much more than just security, including POS or library checkouts.
License Plate Recognition helps to efficiently enforce restraining orders or keep delinquent individuals away. Cameras can be affixed to entrances and exits, alerting when blacklisted individuals drive onto campus. Then campus officials can immediately intervene or escort them off the premises. Keep an audit trail of vehicles entering and exiting campus to help future investigations.
Security Center Add-Ons
Security Center has the ability to add on a variety of different functions, such as unifying a third party security and business systems. With this kind of flexibility, the system can be ever changing to meet a campus' needs.

On Thursday 10 April the 'Combating Human Trafficking' conference, attended by police chiefs and law enforcement officials from around the world made a declaration of commitment in the fight to bring an end to human trafficking.
The Santa Marta Commitment, named after the house in the Vatican where the signatories stayed during the two-day conference, is a "personal commitment" by the signatories to work together to: "develop partnerships with the Church and civil society to bring to justice those who are responsible for these horrendous crimes and to alleviate the suffering of the victims. "
Pope Francis attended the conference and gave an address to the conference's participants in which he said: "Human trafficking is an open wound on the body of contemporary society, a scourge upon the body of Christ. It is a crime against humanity.
The conference was organised by the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and chaired by Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster.
