Welding is an important aspect in the field of engineering as well as in the field of the machining. In this digital world, there are many welding processes which are in practice. They can be manual processes or fully automatic. Today, we will learn the entire concept of the forge welding. So, stay tuned.
What is Forge Welding?
Basically, forge welding is the type of solid state welding process in which two metal pieces are first heated and then, they are joined. During this welding technique, a process of hammering is also being carried out. It is considered as the oldest method of welding. In the previous century, this welding process is done mostly manually. But as the technology is evolving day by day, the automatic forge welding has been invented.
The History Behind It
This welding technique is the first type of the welding process that ever has been discovered by human beings. It was founded around 1800 BC in the Anatolia. In today's world, Turkey is considered as the major component of the Anatolia.

Working Principle
The exact working principle of the forge welding that you must know:
In this welding technique, two metals pieces are heated below their melting temperature. You can also say that the metals are heated in such a way that they should reach their plastic condition. Generally, this heating temperature is below 1000 ºC. But for some metals, this heating temperature may be above 1000 ºC. This heating temperature may vary from metal to metal. So, here the care should be taken that you must not heat the workpieces or the metal above its melting temperature and just heat it in such a way that it will reach its plastic condition. What after the heating of the metal pieces? After the heating process is done, a process of hammering is carried out. The metal pieces are hammered in such a way that they will undergo a process of diffusion. Sometimes, instead of the hammering, an external force is applied to the metal pieces so that they will join perfectly. Whether you apply the external force or you do the hammering process, a care should be taken is that there must be the formation of the strong weld at the joint. It is possible that while this welding technique, oxidation at the weld surface may take place. So, to prevent this oxidation, a flux is used.
Above image will help in understanding the exact working of this welding technique. Here, you can see the two metal pieces are first gets heated and then the hammer is used to join the two metal pieces.
For better understanding about forge welding watch the video:
Following are some temperature variations for different metals:
- For Wrought Iron: In the case of the wrought iron, the heating temperature must be just below 1290 ºC
- For High Carbon and Alloy Steel: For this, the temperature must be in the range of 1100 ºC to 1140 ºC
- For the Soft Carbon Steel: The temperature must be in between 1250 ºC to 1300 ºC.
Following are the tools or the equipment that you must have during Forge welding:
- Hammer
- Brass
- Black Smith Gauge
- Flux
- Anvil

Some of the best applications of the forge welding are
- Such a welding process is used for the manufacturing of the crankshaft.
- It plays an important role in the aerospace industry. Most of the parts of an airplane are joined by the forge welding
- Many of us like the shape as well as a structure of the shotgun barrels. And this welding technique is also used in the production of the shotgun barrels.
- The bicycles that we ride on our daily basis are also being manufactured with the help of this welding technique.
- As above mentioned, nowadays the concept of automatic forge welding is discovered. Such welding is used in the automobile industry. All the types of machines related to the farming are developed with the help of such welding technique.
As this welding technique is widely is in use, there are many advantages as well as disadvantages of it. Let's have a close look at some of its advantages:
- As the purpose of any welding process is to obtain the best quality weld at the joint, this purpose is achieved by this welding process. It gives us a clear joint easily and quickly.
- During this process, a little amount of the noise is created and due to this, forge welding is considered as the best among all the welding processes.
- Unlike other welding processes, this welding technique requires no filler metal.
- Do you want to produce the welds with the high strength? Then, this is the perfect welding process for you. It gives rise to the welds of the higher strength along with the neat and crystal-clear weld.
As everything has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. Forge welding has also its disadvantages:
- During this welding process, you must have a skilled labor. Its operating is quite difficult, so you must have the proper skills to carry out this process.
- This welding process is considered as the slow welding process as manually doing this welding is a quite time-consuming process.
- Sometimes there are chances that the contamination of the weld with the coke may take place. Care should be taken so that such contamination will not happen.
The Biggest mistake that people do while this welding technique:
While implementing this welding process, people should not try to hammer too hard. As hammering too hard will effect on the entire welding process and you will not get the high-quality weld at the joint that you wanted.
This is all about the forge welding. In this article, we come across the principle, advantages, disadvantages as well as applications of this incredible welding technique. Hope you got this concept. If you have any doubts feel free to comment below. We are always here to help you!

China Offers Cash in Bid to Make Green Cars 30% of Official Fleet
What will it take for the world's largest auto market to go green? China is hoping a series of new subsidies and other inducements to get government officials and agencies to buy energy-efficient vehicles will help. As the WSJ's Colum Murphy reports:
Under the new rules, which will be phased in over the next two years, electric cars, hybrids that run on gasoline and electricity and other new energy vehicles will account for no less than 30% of all new cars bought for official use each year, according to a notice from the country's main economic planning agency, the Finance Ministry and three other government agencies.
The notice said subsidies will be offered to government and public agencies for purchases of vehicles that cost less than 180,000 yuan ($29,186), subsidies included. Local governments will be asked to build charging stations and other needed infrastructure, said the notice, which was posted on the government's website.
The Chinese government has been trying to promote use of new energy vehicles for the past five years, seeing them as a way to reduce pollution and as an emerging technology Chinese businesses might be able to conquer.
The government previously set a goal of having 500,000 plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles on the road by next year and five million by 2020, though it is far from meeting the target. Sales of new energy vehicles reached 17,642 units last year, up around 38% year-over-year, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. By contrast, around 18 million passenger cars were sold in China last year.
The new measures' target for official fleets is likely to give a bump to the sector. Purchases of official vehicles in China run between 70 billion yuan (around $8.3 billion) and 80 billion yuan a year, less than 5% of the country's overall annual passenger-car demand according to estimates from consultancy Automotive Foresight.

After sitting empty for three decades, a precipitous site above Wellington is revived by David Melling's clever idea to build two homes that mirror the land
A pair of Wellington homes mirror the slope of their impossibly steep site
You're 10 minutes' drive from Wellington's CBD, less if the traffic is kind. But high on the Brooklyn hills, with New Zealand's capital spread beneath – the view extends from Pencarrow Heads out to the Hutt Valley and across to the western hill suburbs – the only sounds come from the native birds.
Building one house on this 885-square-metre section, neighboured by a walking track and tumbling down bush-covered hills, would be tricky enough. To build two is even harder.
The site had sat empty for three decades after a small wooden cottage burned down in the 1980s – even in Wellington, prospective owners were put off by the 25-degree slope. Until David Melling's clients, who lived nearby, fell in love with the view, seeking more room for their family and a self-contained rental property that could eventually double as extra family accommodation.
The architect's first move – and the reason the combination of the two works so well on a reasonably sized suburban site – was to split the site lengthwise, giving each house street frontage. This meant placing one house in front of the other along the northern boundary. Both houses have off-street parking at the front of the site, so there's no need for a driveway or path past one house to get to the other.
Once he'd done that, Melling designed the two houses as facsimiles of each other, with enough space between them – and few windows on the southern sides – so that neither the owners nor the tenants ever need to see each other. His vision was for both dwellings to reflect the typography of the site. That includes a 17-degree slope for both roofs, which approximate the gradient and visually form a 'cap' with the hillside. "This means both forms are subtle and fit naturally within their surroundings," says Melling.
There's a strong, pragmatic feel to the houses, with glulam posts and beams visible in the structure. Walls and roofs are made from panels normally used for commercial cool stores, something Melling has been experimenting with for a while. As well as coming to site ready-made, which saves cost, there's a crisp, tough feel to them, softened by macrocarpa trim inside and 'transoms' painted in bright, primary colours on the outside.
"The use of freezer panels was a key part of the design," says Melling. "They provide an effective continuous insulating blanket and a smooth pre-finished internal surface, which allowed us to expose rather than cover up the structure of the houses."
The floors throughout are recycled tawa from Eastbourne's Wellesley College gymnasium, laid with the original gym markings intact. "The flooring guy was instructed to lay it as randomly as possibly, which adds to the industrial effect."
As you enter from the street, the main family home is to the left of the site. It's slightly larger than the rental – which has three levels to the main home's five. Under an unbroken roof plane, there's a sleepout in the top corner, an open breezeway entry and then living areas below. The kitchen sits under a mezzanine, while the living area is recessed, following the slope of the site down three steps. (With a high ceiling and big windows, and a mezzanine space tucked in under the roof, the sleepout is currently used as an office but will one day provide spillover accommodation for family.)
"Having multiple floor levels under a single sloped roof allows for varying and interesting volumes as you move down and through the space," says Melling. "It also allows for an easy connection between the entry mezzanine level and the dining and living spaces."
The owners were keen on an unbroken line of sight from the entrance down through the living and dining areas. With the solid sloping roof facing east and the north side extensively glazed, the views are controlled as you move through the building, with the best vistas from the living space.
Down a few more steps, at the bottom of the house, is what the family affectionately calls 'the bunker' – a concrete-block structure with a green roof and lit by skylights. It includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a TV room which runs out to a sheltered expanse of lawn. By tucking the bedrooms and utility functions into the hillside, Melling was able to reduce the visual impact of the building on the site.
Having such simple, compact forms also means both the architect and owners were able to have some fun with materials and colours, particularly on the 'active' northern side of each home. "Both structures were designed with busy families in mind, but neither takes itself too seriously," says Melling. "These houses will evolve as the owners and their needs do."

It's striking how much we continue to argue over Martin Luther King's legacy. Long after his death, and despite his own mixed success in using his prestige to battle poverty and oppose the Vietnam War, Dr. King continues to be enlisted in every new political struggle, especially the push for same-sex marriage. George Clooney is only the most recent public figure to invoke civil rights to argue for same-sex marriage:
As his good friend Viola Davis won the CCA for Best Actress for her role in racial drama "The Help," Clooney linked that struggle with the current effort to legalize gay marriage.
"I do believe it's generational, much like the civil rights movement," the star, who picked up Best Actor at the CCAs, said. "Young people started taking to the streets and things changed. This really is the final leg of the civil rights movement."
Of course, supporters of same-sex marriage are not the only ones to make this move. Rick Santorum did something similar when he dinged Obama on racial grounds for his failure to recognize the rights of the unborn. Yet both men are wrong.
I freely admit that I see a basic connection between the fights to uphold the rights of black Americans and the rights of the unborn. Both causes are based in our foundational commitment to the dignity of every member of the human family. Yet my friends who are black—-whether they are pro-life, pro-same-sex marriage or both—-tend to be uneasy when the sufferings of Selma and of Montgomery are used to ready the altar for gay weddings, or to underline the wrong of Roe.
I can see why. As Ramesh Ponnuru has noted , such arguments tend to be used as (not especially persuasive) emotional bludgeons to induce minority Americans to support one cause or another. They diminish the raw, ongoing struggle for racial justice by making it a mere preparation for the next leg of the long progressive march.
Our debates over the meaning of marriage are only confused by spurious invocations of the Civil Rights movement. Meanwhile, the wrongness of abortion is sufficiently clear that it need not depend on the memory of any other righteous cause. Better to let King be King, and to connect his cause to any other only with the greatest care.
However much we disagree on issues like abortion and gay marriage, I am encouraged by the fact that we do indeed share a common, substantive moral inheritance. This day is as good a day as any to be grateful that when we argue over our political settlement, we tug on the same rope, invoke the same heroes. There is a culture war, yes, but it is over a shared culture rather than two separate ones.

Department Mission Statement
Science is a method of coming to know; the process itself teaches the need for exploration. The science classes at Seattle Prep teach the importance of making connections through exploration in an attempt to instill a spirit of adventure and wonder in every student. This philosophy stresses a scientific process for exploration of the world as God reveals it to us.
As we guide students down this path, their experiences within the classroom help them become scientifically literate. To do this, we emphasize the processes, content, and skills embedded within science. Our students gain an understanding and appreciation of the workings of the physical world, and an openness to growth that leads to the desire for life-long learning. Students also learn to recognize the appropriate uses of technology and, in this way, the importance of ethical decision-making becomes significant.
Click here for a visual flowchart of the Prep science curriculum.

A busy mothers' attempts to connect with her 4-year-old son are derailed as the pair become increasingly obsessed with a seemingly innocent, yet deeply disturbing YouTube nursery rhyme.
In 2007, an anonymous YouTuber uploaded a nursery rhyme to YouTube called Daddy Finger. Since then, more than 10 million different versions have been made, amassing billions of views.
The disturbing truth behind these videos is that the vast majority of them aren't made for children. In fact, many of the videos are algorithmically generated, uploaded and designed to be watched by bots– not kids– in a bid to exploit the YouTube ad revenue system.
The sheer number of videos uploaded every minute (approx. 300 hours) make it impossible for YouTube to properly monitor, police or protect.
Subsequently, the content is unfiltered, uncensored and in many cases, inappropriate and unsafe for children. With the ever-growing trend of Parents using their phones to 'babysit' their children, kids as young as 18 months are exposed to violent, sexual imagery at a time when their brains are still developing. If you haven't heard the song already, you will soon. Welcome to the deeply twisted and disturbing world of Daddy Finger.

Real Engagement: Stephanie & Warren
Stephanie & Warren's adventurous souls met in college at the Bush School of Government at Texas A&M in 2012. Warren, who grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, has a unique sense of humor, often starting jokes with the punchline. Stephanie, who grew up in Coppell, Texas shows her sweet side as owner of Blonde Bakes in New York City.
Stephanie & Warren's Love & Engagement Story
They both share a passion for traveling and dancing! This eclectic couple currently resides in New York City, and when they're not travelling or planning to change the world, they enjoy new restaurants, exploring the Big Apple, and making memories together.
According to Stephanie, love didn't come instantly. She admits there was that awkward "is this more than friends" stage that lasted for month, but over sandwiches one day, Warren expressed his feeling for her and their adventure together began. (Hmm, wasn't this love of sandwiches portrayed in Frozen with Princess Anna?)
Warren's version is a bit different. He knew early on that there was something incredibly special about Stephanie. After Salsa dancing and "cooking" for her (aka ordering a pizza but serving it like he made it) during their courtship, he realized that Stephanie was one of the most amazing women he's ever met. Warren took a leap and prepared a Spaghetti Bolognese that won first prize… Stephanie's heart!
Warren's Proposal
One and a half years of long-distance dating allowed their connection to blossom. On a December day at the Bush Library pond, and with both of their families hiding in bushes and taking pictures, Warren asked Stephanie to be his wife.
Stephanie & Warren will marry on October 28, 2016 with 120 of their world-traveling guests. There will be warm emotions, electric energy, delicious food, vibrant African fabrics, live musicians, sweets by the bride-to-be, and an evening of fun and dancing under the stars!
Congratulations, and welcome to the #SensiblyChicTRIBE!

This first picture is a calf stretcher from a previous batch. I have orders for at least two more, and I finally got around to getting them started.
I found a nice piece of Lacewood that was almost wide enough to make them in one piece. To make up the difference, I am gluing them up with some light colored Curly Lyptus. The Lacewood is incredibly heavy and very porous. The Lyptus is slightly thicker and will need to be sanded down after the gluing is done.
The second image shows the Lacewood and Lyptus in the clamps. The smaller piece will be the front. The larger piece will become the deck.

Alabama is not going to rush cornerback Eddie Jackson back to the playing field, but he will be available for the Crimson Tide Saturday against West Virginia if he is needed. Head coach Nick Saban said he would prefer to proceed with caution with Jackson, who underwent knee surgery to repair a torn ACL in spring practice.
"I wouldn't rule out the fact he can play in this game," Saban said, per Al.com. "But I would rather go in to the game thinking we would use him if we needed to rather than pushing him in the game."
Saban said Jackson was not cleared for football activity in early June, but he must be doing well enough to be an option in the season opener. For now, Jackson will occupy a back-up spot on the depth chart until he is ready to go full speed and prove ready for an increased role in the defense. Cyrus Jones is currently listed as a starter ahead of Jackson.

March Farm News

Filed under: 2013 | Tags: farm raised pork, pork
Spring seems to be teasing us with sunny moments and downpours of rain!
Here on the farm, we and the animals are enjoying the sun and warmer weather. The pigs that were born last month are now ready to be sold as "weaner pigs". They are called "weaner pigs", as opposed to "weiner pigs", because they have just been weaned from their mothers. The next designation is "feeder pigs". The "feeder pig" designation is appropriate as you feed and feed and feed the pigs to butcher size. From weaning to butcher size, the pig will grow from about 30 lbs. to 230 lbs. in four months. On a strictly grain diet, they will consume about 1/4 ton (500 lbs.) of feed. At this conversion rate of grain to meat, pigs are the most efficient animal on the farm.
Continuing on the topic of pigs…I received an armload of my grandfather's 1954-1955 Successful Farming magazines. The magazines are interesting in the their emphasis on "modernizing" farming. One article is titled, Women Want Leaner Pork–NOW. Prior to WWII, pigs were bred for two categories: meat and lard. The lard was more valuable than the meat. One of our neighbors commented that in the old days they would know when to butcher a pig because it would be too fat to get up! Since the 1950s, pigs have been bred to be leaner to the point that modern pigs are about 50% leaner than in the 1950s. Modern pork is so lean that the meat is often too dry. To counter dry pork, "enhanced" pork was created. Enhanced pork has salt water injected into the meat so that the flavor is enhanced and the meat has less tendency to become dry. Our pigs are neither enhanced or too fatty. We strive to balance the ratio of meat to fat by being careful to select appropriate feed, monitoring the pigs growth and butchering at the appropriate time, working with our butcher to ensure excessive fat is remove if required, and visually inspecting our meat cuts before we sell them. We also recognize that each pig is unique and the amount of fat varies from animal to animal. Ultimately, we hope to satisfy our customers with tasty, natural, quality pork.

Fundraising best practices: Treat fiscal year end like calendar year-end
Chris Hughes
February 26, 2016
A common misperception in fundraising is that donors aren't as motivated to give at fundraising fiscal year-end (FYE) like they are at calendar year-end (CYE). Nothing could be further from the truth.
According to Blackbaud's 2015 charitable giving report, December is clearly the best time for charitable giving with 17.4 percent of gifts arriving that month—17.7 percent if you're in the higher education sector.
What may surprise you is only one other month brings in at least 10 percent of gifts: June. Overall, 10.2 percent of charitable gifts are made in June, with higher education picking up 11.2 percent of gifts.
Don't approach the second most-popular fundraising month as if it's any other month, especially if your fiscal year-ends on June 30. Make your fiscal year-end solicitation plan similar to your calendar year-end plan.
Tactics to consider for your fundraising fiscal year-end
Much like December's CYE giving period, your FYE giving period should be transaction oriented. There is plenty of time during the rest of the year for cultivation, stewardship, and enhancing the emotional connection. Here are a few ways to successfully solicit donors at fiscal year's end:
- Send postcards reminding donors of the FYE deadline and ways to give. According to the Direct Marketing Association's 2015 Fact Book, an average of 51 percent of households will have multiple people read a postcard compared to an average of 33 percent for a letter-sized envelope. Having postcards arrive in donor mailboxes right after Memorial Day is a great way to kick start June giving.
- Another direct mail option is the statement mailer. This is a piece that also conveys a transactional, deadline-oriented tone. It is very similar to a membership renewal billing statement.
- Email early, email often. Think about how much you email donors during the final 7-10 days of December. You should be doing that during the final 7-10 days of June. Make sure your message and subject lines convey an FYE sense of urgency, just like you do in December's CYE period.
- Send more pledge reminders. Whether you send these via direct mail, email or phone calls, remind these donors and prospects of their promise as well as the importance and significance of fulfilling that promise by your FYE date.
- Focus heavily on donors whose last gift was 12-35 months ago. In fundraising terms, this means LYBUNTS and one-year lapsed donors. You should especially focus on donors with significant numbers of consecutive years making a gift. In your push to bring in as many donors as possible, don't lose sight of your renewal percentages. Donor and dollar retention are critical to program growth.
Online gifts will most likely be how a lot of donors respond to your FYE reminders. Be sure to incorporate unique URLs for each of your communications and channels so you can analyze what worked best for your FYE strategy. You can read more about that in a previous blog post.
If necessary, incentivize donors to give during the final days, weeks, or month of your fiscal year. Take a look at your own program and see how often during the entire year similar offers are made. This includes what you offered through gamification in your crowdfunding and social media campaigns.
No matter what tactics you choose, always keep in mind that deadlines can be a very powerful force. Make your primary message at the fundraising fiscal year-end the critical importance of donors making gifts on your current fiscal year.
If you have any questions about this fundraising best practice, or any other fundraising strategies, please email me and I would be happy to connect.

Looking to buy a franchise and become your own boss? An industry expert believes that food franchises may be your best bet.
Low-cost menu options are driving the business of restaurant franchises as the United States moves toward economic revival. As a result, FranchisesForSale.com co-founder Gail Parker believes that food franchises are the best bets for people considering starting their own business.
Parker cites the low food costs as well as easy-to-find, unskilled labor for the boost in food franchise inquiries. Food franchises normally come with lower operating costs than many other franchises, according to Parker.
Franchising news is littered with recent announcements from restaurant chains of new locations despite the lagging economy.
Dunkin Donuts announced on February 2 that it had signed seven new locations in Tennessee and Virginia; the stores will operate inside Roadrunner Markets, a popular Southern convenience store chain.
"We are excited to expand our portfolio to include Dunkin' Donuts and look forward to playing an important role in the daily lives of people who live and work in the Tri-Cities community," said Ryan Broyles, president of Roadrunner Markets.
Healthier options have also grown in recent months. Tropical Smoothie Cafe announced Monday that it plans to begin a six-week, 4,000-mile franchise tour to spark interest in new franchises and help current franchises improve customer service and efficiency.

This feature enters the murky depths of the archives to fish out the classic hits from the golden age of internet drubbings.
The following except was written by Dan back in January 2013. Dan explains why if you're going to remove verses from the Bible, Gen 1:1 is the only one you need to bother with.
Folks at war with God have always snipped out the parts of the Bible that they didn't like. Rationalist critics in the 19th-21st centuries have turned Biblical authorship claims into pious lies at best, rationalized prophecies and miracles to remove, well, prophecy and miracles. Anything that offended their rival philosophy was discarded by one elaborate contrivance or another.
Some are less artful. A well-known actor tries to ameliorate his guilt over pursuing his slavery to unnatural desires by snipping out unwelcome passages from Gideon's Bibles in motel rooms. This is vandalism as therapy, evidently yet another pursuit of the idle rich.
It has occurred to me, however, that every one of these folks could save themselves a lot of trouble. Just one snip is all it would take.
Snip out Genesis 1:1.
Among the things the decades have brought to me is a deepening appreciation of the opening chapters of Genesis, and particularly of the first verse. As S. Lewis Johnson once remarked, if you believe Genesis 1:1, nothing in all the rest of the Bible is incredible. Reject it, and all goes with it.
In Genesis 1:1 we find a sovereign, self-existing, timeless, omniscient God creating the universe by fiat. Simply because He wants it to exist, because He wills it to exist, it comes to exist. There is none of the struggle and bloodshed of contemporary myths. Simply one God, creating all things the way He wants to create them, simply because He wants to for His own glorious reasons.
Much follows from this simple fact, this simple act. Because He pre-existed everything, God is independent of everything, and everything is dependent on Him. Because all that is exists as a reflection of His will, the universe is neither undefined nor self-defining. It is pre-defined. Scrooge isn't wrong when he says "An ant is what it is and a grasshopper is what it is" (though he is wrong about Christmas). He just didn't go far enough, and add that the ant and the grasshopper are what they are as created and defined by a sovereign God.
And so is man. So while the emergent and the PoMo alike gaze inward to the endless morass of their own subjectivity, and while the immoral pursue their cravings, and while the materialistic pretends to acknowledge nothing beyond "molecules in motion," their pursuit is a charade. It reminds us of the riddle:
Question: if we call a tail a "leg," how many legs does a dog have?
Answer: four. It doesn't matter what you call it, a tail is a tail.
And so with ourselves. We can self-realize and self-actualize and self-affirm and self-love all we like, but we are creatures of a sovereign God. Our choices are only two: believe Him and think accordingly; or to come up with a diverting ruse.
But the ruse will always be a lie, and its pursuit will always be a doomed and damned enterprise.
As Genesis 1:1 reminds us. It reminds us by what it says about the beginning; but it also does that by its very use of the word, "beginning." Because just as the word "black" makes one think of "white," and "up" brings to mind "down," what does the word "beginning" suggest?
And as Genesis ends, so ends the Bible, with a vision of all rebellion defeated, Christ made head over all (cf. Eph. 1:10 Gk.), and God and His people reconciled forever in a glorious new Eden (Rev. 21—22).
Genesis 1:1 is the first sign-post, pointing to that inevitable resolution.
Which is why it should really be the first to go.

Synopsis: It's the long-awaited sequel to Witness Protection, starring a budget Baldwin!
Blurb From the VHS Jacket: "His greatest threat is his past."
What Did I Learn?: Apparently, the best way to befriend the local crime boss when you move to a new city is to: a) beat up his thugs, b) steal his cash, and c) return the money to him the very next day with a super-duper investment opportunity.
You Might Like This Movie If: you know that everyone needs protection, including mobsters like Sal, businessmen like Ted, and, um... Monsanto?!?!
Really?: So, um...what happens to Ted (Peter Gallagher)? I mean, we discover that he's mortgaged the house in order to help finance this development project, and then Sal and family have to suddenly split when his cover is blown? Does Ted go bankrupt? Does he get the money to finish the job?
Rating: If you've ever wanted to see Michael Corleone befriend George Bailey, you might get a kick out of Protection. Unfortunately, this film is nothing special: the script is predictable and dull, the acting - except for Gallagher - is over-the-top and terrible, and the conflict we expect (Ted confronting Sal about his efforts to finance their project through dirty money) never happens. Maybe this film could have worked better had it been told from Ted's perspective... just a thought. I cannot recommend this movie. 5/10 stars.
Would It Work For a Bad Movie Night?: Take a drink every time Sal (Baldwin) tells somebody not to worry.

I couldn't do it,
Not at that pub.
All those clever bastards
Spilling wine
(into their throats).
Fancy standing up
To read –
I've seen the pictures:
All black jeans
And pained looks,
Unruly hair and rolling eyes.
And there's me
Drinking days done
Gasping for ale,
Anything –
It's too late now
The stars are up.
And anyway
I have nothing to say.
Not here.
Later, perhaps
When we've had a drink

Lisa-Maria Neudert spoke with Public Radio International about the German NetzDG hate speech law.
"When we're addressing issues of [fake news] and computational propaganda, a lot of the time that narrative is that we cannot regulate social media companies and we [that we] cannot put social media companies in a position where they are accountable," said Lisa-Maria Neudert of the Oxford Internet Institute. "And I think this law definitely shows that it is possible to regulate social media companies, even though they are … big transnational companies."

Jury citation
Peter Corrigan, Professor of Architecture at RMIT University, Melbourne, has exerted a profound and long-lasting influence on the architectural profession in Australia through his practice, writing and commitment to teaching design. As the recipient of a multitude of honours, including the RAIA Gold Medal (2003), he has built a reputation equal to any living architect in Australia, yet throughout it all he has continued to deliver design studios and lectures in architectural history at RMIT University. From 1975 to the present day he has maintained this commitment to architectural education while also engaged in the turmoil of successful practice. This represents a remarkable continuity of contribution.
Professor Corrigan's teaching career has included guest professorships at both Harvard University and the University of Turin, but his long service to RMIT University's School of Architecture has had special impact. This has been recognized in its first honorary doctorate (1989) and more recently his appointment as a Professor of Architecture. He is an exemplary practitioner-academic, an increasingly rare and difficult role which makes a vital contribution to the discipline in the most ambitious sense. In building up this body of teaching experience, Corrigan has asserted and tested the power of the design studio as an educational model and tapped into the resources of a small group of committed individuals working together. Corrigan has understood the design studio to be as much a process of empowering individuals as it is about developing skills: an individual with commitment and self-reliance, a reflective mind and a certain fearlessness might be best equipped to be an architect.
At a time when education emphasizes the acquisition of skills, Peter Corrigan holds to the idea of educating the whole person. He has done so not only by teaching in a manner tailored to individual students, but also by embedding students in the culture of their field. Regardless of the theme of the design studio, students are pointed toward the activities of the local scene – the performance of a play, an exhibition or a big game at the MCG. In the larger world of ideas they are exposed to everyone from W. B. Yeats to Allen Ginsberg, from the Renaissance to contemporary politics. The results of this process are students who feel immersed in a culture and begin to sense their own place in it. Peter Corrigan teaches architecture in order to make good architects.
Jury: Professor Paul Berkemeier LFRAIA (Australian Institute of Architects President Elect and Paul Berkemeier Architect); Sarah Briant RAIA (National Education Committee and Quirk Architecture); Clinton Murray RAIA (Sinclair Knight Merz); Melanie Dodd (AASA President, RMIT University); Barnaby Hartford-Davis (SONA Vice President).

Arsenal to look au naturel
I can't be bothered with wearing that much makeup most days, but I do invest in a good skin care regimen. I like to use spot-treating serums, high quality moisturizers, and BB cream to address concerns with sun spots. The days of a perfect porcelain complexion are far gone. We covered the basics and importance of a good, simple skin care routine in my last post. Now let's talk about what comes after that all-important step of cleansing as part of your AM routine. I love a dewy complexion.
Skip toner and essence in the AM
When it comes to Korean skin care, there are a series of steps and products that consist of toner, serum, essence, and ampoule. And that's before you even put on the main event! Because of the impossibility of me following such an involved regime, I generally skip the toner and essence in the mornings and save for the evenings.
Indulge with an Ampoule
An ampoule is part of the same family of serums and essences. An ampoule is sometimes defined as a "supercharged" serum with higher concentrations of active ingredients designed to target certain skin concerns. If you're going to use an ampoule, use it before your chosen serum.
Since my concern are dark spots, I like my go-to Skin Food Yuja Water C Whitening Ampoule. Don't let the term "whitening" worry you. Korean skin care products typically use the term "whitening" to mean "brightening". Semantics are different here. In other words, you will not turn a ghostly shade of white. The Yuja extract oil in this particular ampoule is touted for its higher concentration of Vitamin C to help with fading dark spots, melasma, and general hyperpigmentation. It's light and watery to the touch, and feels like nothing on your skin. This ampoule also packs in some niacinamide, a popularized ingredient in K-Beauty products that helps with repairing those fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother texture.
Serum comes after Ampoule
Because I deal with hyperpigmentation, I alternate between a couple different serums. Some mornings I like to use the pricey Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, but the savvier side of me enjoys Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum, or the Soko Glam exclusive (and bestseller) COSRX Triple C Lightening Liquid. One serum will do.
COSRX Triple C Lightening Liquid feels slightly more potent than Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum. It's a personal preference. If you're skin is on the more sensitive side, go with Klairs. I've personally never had any problems using the Skin Food Yuja Water C Ampoule and following that with another Vitamin C serum like COSRX Triple C Lightening Liquid or Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum.
I could just jump ahead and skip the basic skin moisturizer with a double-duty BB cream, but I love the feel and texture of the EasyDew EX Repair Control Renewal Moisturizer. It's basically a lightweight moisturizer that works for all skin types and is particularly formulated to deal with sensitive skin. It's super light and velvety to the touch, so I'm a fan. It is on the pricier side, and definitely not a must-have. This particular brand and line of products contain what's called medical grade EGF. EGF is apparently a type of protein that is designed to target fine lines by supporting cell regeneration.
Or "Glowy" Moisturizer
If you're keen on perfecting that dewy honeyed complexion, then take a gander at Son and Park Beauty Filter Cream in Glow. Considered now a cult classic as stated on Soko Glam, you'll find that it gives a pearlescent sheen to your face. So get that luminous complexion and apparently it has ingredients to help with controlling sebum production.
BB Cream (skip the foundation)
Since I hate wearing foundation or liquid makeup, I just go straight for the multitasking BB cream, which gives you some level of tinted coverage and SPF. At the moment, I'm sporting the Super + Beblesh BB Cream Triple Function (Pinkish Label). Considered one of the famous OG BB creams in Korea, it's a moisturizing 30 SPF cream that provides light tinted coverage to help even out your skin tone. I like BB Creams because they help with treating blemish-prone skin while masking imperfections. I therefore completely skip foundation altogether. On alternate days, I go with Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream (BB cream, SPF 40 PA++) that comes in a slim tube. I prefer the illuminating vs. matte version for a more natural look. The small tube of Klairs is easy to conceal and carry when traveling or just on the go.
Ampoule-Serum-Moisturizer-BB Cream, and I'd say it's time to rock n' roll. I skip the eye creams unless I'm having a particularly tough bleary-eyed morning. After the application of BB cream, I dust on some extra sun screen (in mineral powder form), and I'm generally good to go.
If I'm going out, I'll take extra steps to line my eyes with liner, fill in the sparse areas of my brows, and dust on some blusher.

This year's Tight Modern tour launches on the opening weekend of the Brighton Fringe. Space, as ever, will be at a premium
A 9ft by 5ft version of its world-famous archetype, topped by a 12ft chimney, Tight Modern could well be the world's tiniest temporary art gallery.

Inspired by a miniature London nightclub with flashing floor tiles and bouncers, as well as the actors who performed Shakespeare in a lift, creator Simon Powell says it is chiefly a way of highlighting work by its 60 marginalised or disabled artists, chosen from an open competition. The exhibition attracted more than 2,500 visitors in one Brighton weekend last time it visited the city's Fringe Festival.
"Any more than ten people inside and it gets a bit uncomfortable and a little bit embarrassing," he says, reflecting on a robust portal first built in 2008.

"We have, traditionally, left it in-situ on the beach.
"We take the paintings out but leave the structure in place and wrap it in tarpaulin.
"We got away with that for two or three years, but the last time we did it, which was 2012, we got there on the Sunday and it had been lifted up and used as a homeless person's shelter for the night.
"The guys had kind of urinated in one end of it and slept in the other side.
"They left us a message saying 'thanks for the shelter'. So, you know, thanks for that.
"Of course, we can't complain too much because we're a charity, so it's a bit like, 'great'. It had a real practical use there.
"It was damaged it but it's quite versatile. We had about two minutes of thinking 'maybe we should call it off', but then we strapped it together and we were up and running again in about an hour."
The Tight will tour to the London Creativity and Wellbeing Week, Eastbourne's popular Towner gallery and libraries in St Helens after its stint by the sea.

"It's a bit like set-building," says Powell. "It's made of timbers and it all fits together in about two hours and can come down in about an hour.
"Being outside makes it vulnerable. There's a lot of freak weather going on these days. Last time we were in one location and the wind was a bit heavier than we thought.
"That was a bit scary, chasing the Tight Modern down the road. It didn't quite blow over, but I was a bit worried.
"These days we favour indoor stuff and we're quite enjoying the playing around with the gallery within a gallery."
A visit to Chichester's Pallant House proved successful, but Tate themselves had some reservations when Powell contacted them.
"It's a shame really because it's an opportunity. I know there are quite a lot of people within the Tate who are interested in marginalised artists and it's quite an easy way to embrace them.
"It's a homage to the Tate Modern but at the same time it's a way of getting marginalised artists into the mainstream."
Kim Noble, who won the Visitors' Choice First Prize in the last Tight exhibition, is an artist who was the subject of an Oprah Winfrey Show feature, with 14 of her 20 personalities being artists.
"People come along and get a voting slip," says Powell. "We're a great believer that you don't need to be an art expert to appreciate good art. We just go for what has the most quality."
- Tight Modern is at Brighton Fringe, May 2-5 2014; Ortus Learning Centre, London, June 4-7; Towner, Eastbourne, September 20 - October 7; St Helens libraries, October 10 - January 6 2015.

As the 100+ tasks on my current gTasks application would lead one to believe, things have hit the fan! I am surprisingly fine with this though. Perhaps first year was enough practice to master the art of time management, or perhaps it is the fact that I enjoy learning the "meat and potatoes" of pharmacy school.
This last week was very busy and a lot of fun. I got to have an awesome time talking to older patients about their asthma at a health fair (through Project Breath an MPSA patient care project). It is amazing how much I surprise myself with the knowledge I have already attained in school and to be able to impact other peoples lives.
We also had our first two exams in Medicinal Agents and Pharmacotherapy. Got through them just in time to finish the week off with some family time before working in IV's this weekend at UMMC making some TPN's!

text: Fair fashion A look at the challenges of making the industry more transparent. 04 Jan 2017 00:21 GMT Tens of thousands of garment workers in Bangladesh went on strike last week in the first major unrest to hit the world's second biggest garment manufacturer since a massive, deadly accident in 2013 spurred labour reforms and sparked an ethical fashion revolution around the world. The strikes for higher wages lead factory owners to fire at least 1,500 workers, while police arrested 30 people, including seven union leaders. Dozens of factories were closed for days but have since reopened, and most workers have returned to their posts. But labour activists say some workers fear for their safety or jobs because of the strikes. Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers Exporters Association President Siddiqur Rahman said incremental steps are being taken to address concerns. He discouraged "innocent workers" from "conspiring to create chaos in the country". In the aftermath of the 2013 Rana Plaza factory complex collapse that killed at least 1,130 people, big Western retailers like H&M and Walmart formed agreements to improve factory conditions and worker safety in Bangladesh. The incident also spurred a socially conscious movement for more transparent supply chains and working conditions. But while workers in Bangladesh say some structural improvements have been made, and buildings are safer, they say repression of labour rights continues. And around the world, poverty-level wages, long hours, unsafe conditions, physical and verbal abuse in garment factories are rampant. According to the DC-based Worker Rights Consortium, labour costs make up a small fraction of big retailers' expenses, yet concrete changes industry-wide in wages and working conditions have been slow within the $2.4 trillion global fashion industry. Media attention and increased consumer awareness of "sweatshop" conditions have led to an increase in the number of companies claiming to be ethical and sustainable. But is it just a gimmick? Finding ethical manufacturers is difficult, and supply chains are notoriously labyrinthine. It's common practice for factories to outsource work to an "underground" factory without their client's knowledge to complete a large order on time. It is often at these sites where conditions are the worst. Critics also say ethical fashion is only for a privileged few, and the average person can't afford the price tags that go along with ethical business practices. What more can be done to raise labour standards to create a more ethical business model for the fashion industry in Bangladesh and beyond? In this episode of The Stream, we speak with: Scott Nova @4WorkerRights Executive Director, Worker Rights Consortium workersrights.org Rob Wayss @banglaccord Executive Director, Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh bangladeshaccord.org Natalie Grillon @project_JUST Co-Founder, Project JUST projectjust.com Saydia Gulrukh Labor Rights Activist What do you think?

The Works of Mercy :
The Works of Mercy The works of Mercy are divided in two main categories: Spiritual Works of Mercy Corporal Works of Mercy According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church the works of Mercy are: # 2447 "Charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities." This presentation will deal with the first category: "The Spiritual Works of Mercy"
Which are the Seven Spiritual Works of Mercy? :
Which are the Seven Spiritual Works of Mercy? To instruct the ignorant To counsel the doubtful To admonish sinners To bear wrongs patiently To forgive offences willingly To comfort the afflicted To pray for the living and the dead.
1. Instruct the Ignorant :
Instruct the Ignorant Socrates (470 BC) a Greek philosopher once said: "I neither know nor I think that I know" (Apology of Plato). True wisdom Socrates said is knowing that we know nothing. We all experience ignorance of some sort. Our Christian Faith challenges us to seek the truth; to come out of the shadows of ignorance. Jesus said: "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) Human ignorance can be experienced in three different levels A. Intellectual ignorance B. Moral Ignorance C. Spiritual Ignorance
Instruct the Ignorant Intellectual ignorance: "things we don't know". Our Christian faith calls us to be teachers, to share the knowledge we have acquired through life with others specially, those who have been deprived of the opportunities to learn and advance in our society. Saint Katherine Drexel (1858-1955) not only committed her life to teach but also donated all her inherited wealth $20 million dollars to open schools for African Americans and Native Americans at a time in America's history of great discrimination and social injustice to minorities. She was the founder of Xavier University in New Orleans.
Instruct the Ignorant Do you know how to play the guitar or maybe the piano? Do you know math or maybe algebra? Are you a good artist or writer? Do you know a second language? God calls us to share our knowledge, skills, talents with others. Practical tips: Consider being a mentor at a non-profit organization or at your parish education or social program. For example, Covenant House, a Catholic runaway crisis shelter for youth, is always in need for mentors and volunteers for its program. Below there is a link to the Covenant House's website http://www.covenanthouse.org/
Instruct the Ignorant Moral Ignorance: Ignorance of the moral values, attitudes and dispositions of our faith. Our baptismal call challenges us to be a light to the world. We live in an age marked by secularism and moral relativism. Our society seems to be plagued by sexual scandals, corporate corruption, greed, political abuses, family disintegration and social apathy. In a world so obsess with materialistic and hedonistic tendencies, Catholic Christians are called to instruct and lead first and foremost by example. In his most recent encyclical Spe Salvi (saved by hope), Pope Benedict XVI says: "If technical progress is not matched by corresponding progress in man's ethical formation, in man's inner growth (cf. Eph 3:16; 2 Cor 4:16), then it is not progress at all, but a threat for man and for the world."
Instruct the Ignorant To combat moral ignorance, first and foremost We Catholic Christians must take a stand. A commitment to learn more about our faith, to know why we believe what we believe. We, Catholics must commit ourselves to educate and form our consciences. Jesus said: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? Luke 6:39 Christians are the conscience of the world. We are called by our baptismal call to announce and to denounce. To teach and to challenge. To plant and to uproot. We have a Christian and moral duty to denounce and reject the structures of injustice, sin, and social evil affecting the moral stratum our world and lives.
Instruct the Ignorant How to contend with moral ignorance? practical tips: A. Support the social issues and causes of our Catholic faith. Get to know what these issues are. The website of the U.S. Catholic bishops has plenty of information. Here is their link: http://www.usccb.org/ B. Make a clear stand against the anti-values of our culture. C. Have the courage to take stand for life, family values, social justice. Become involved in your church and society. D. Become acquainted with the moral and social justice values our your Catholic faith. Share these values at home with your children, at work with your colleagues, and with the world at large. E. Be an example, actions are more convincing than words. This means abandoning hypocritical attitudes and adopting Conversion-change of the heart. Conversion (metanoia) is a life long process.
Instruct the ignorant Spiritual ignorance: Ignorance of the core tenets, practices, and devotions of our faith. St. Paul says: "faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ" (Rom. 10:17). The day of our baptism our parents received a candle lit from the paschal candle blessed during the Easter Vigil. This candle represents the light of faith, that must be passed on, share and experienced in the domestic church we call the Family. As mature Catholics we have a responsibility to grow in the knowledge of our faith's teachings but also to share this knowledge with the world at large. Jesus commanded his disciples: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" Matthew 28:19
Instruct the Ignorant Spiritual Indifference is the result of a faith that was not nourished or mentored. John Paul II in his encyclical Familiaris Consortio highlights the fundamental role of parents and mentors and nurturers of faith. The pope says: "Christian marriage and the Christian family build up the Church: for in the family the human person is not only brought into being and progressively introduced by means of education into the human community, but by means of the rebirth of baptism and education in the faith the child is also introduced into God's family, which is the Church."
Instruct the ignorant As practicing Catholics it is our duty to assist those who are struggling with their spiritual lives and crisis of faith. Practical tips: A. Be a role model of faith B. Attend Church with your children on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, young people learn by example. Consistency is key the learning process. C. Learn more about your faith's teachings. Each day make it a project to teach your children, a friend, stranger, or relative something new about your faith. Sharing is learning. D. Enroll your kids in a Catholic school. If this is not possible, enroll them in the CCD classes of your parish program. CCD stands for confraternity of Christian Doctrine. E. Pray as a family. A family that prays together remains together. Teach your kids about the word of God, and the customs of our Catholic faith.
2. Counsel the Doubtful :
Counsel the Doubtful We all experience confusions and doubts in our human journey. We all know someone discerning a difficult choice. The Holy Spirit has filled us with his gifts to assist those in need of good advise. There are people who tell us what we like to hear and there are those who tell us what we need to hear. Giving Good advise is an act of charity and justice. Knowingly, giving bad advise is an offense against love and justice.
3. Admonish The Sinner :
Admonish The Sinner "Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him." Luke 17:3 Maybe you have a son that is using illegal drugs or a friend that is cheating on his or her spouse or a co-worker that tends to drink and drive. As Christians we have the duty to announce good news but also to denounce sin, injustice and evil. Keeping silence lead us to the sin of omission. The things we could have done or the words we could have said but didn't. We have the moral duty to offer fraternal correction to our brothers and sisters. "Silence gives consent". Saying and Hearing the truth can be hurtful at times. However, We should not be afraid to speak the truth and correct others when they do wrong. By taking a stand we may save them from greater catastrophes. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was not afraid of speaking the truth about social injustice at a time in American history when most Christians kept silence about racism and social inequality.
4. Comfort the Sorrowful :
Comfort the Sorrowful Taking the time to listen, or maybe writing a few words of encouragement, or just simply being present to someone in pain can make a big difference in the life of someone experiencing sorrow and grief. Christ our Lord is the perfect example of Compassion. "Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd." Matthew 9:36 Mother Teresa spent almost 40 years ministering to sick, lonely ,hungry and dying in the slums of Calcutta India. She insisted on small things done with great love produce big results. As Christians we are compelled to reach with compassion to those in our world who are hurting. Who are the poor among us? What is our response to them?
5. Forgive Injuries :
Forgive Injuries Gandhi once said: "an eye for an eye make this world blind". We all have made mistakes in the past. And we all have been hurt by someone in the past. Our faith challenges us to forgive and to seek forgiveness. Forgiveness is one of the most powerful liberating human experiences. Ironically, forgiveness is at the same time one of the most difficult acts to offer. As Christians we are called to forgive seventy times seven meaning, "always". Matthew 18: 21-22 In 1981 Pope John Paul II was shot four times by a Turkish national in St. Peter square. The Pope was badly injured by the bullets, undergoing a five hour, life threatening surgery, in Rome. Despite, this attempt on his life and despite the physical injuries resulted as a consequence of the attack, the Pope decided to forgive and meet his attacker. The pope forgave Mehmet Ali Agca and met him in his Italian prison cell in 1983.
6. Bear Wrongs Patiently :
Bear Wrongs Patiently Impatience, anger, negativity, revenge, are all reactions deeply ingrained in human nature. We all have been tempted, time and time again, to react negatively to the wrongs and injustices inflicted upon us by others. Who hasn't been cut off in traffic or discriminated against in one way or another? Who hasn't dealt with a rude person or an annoying personality? Christ is our example of patience, he carried his cross, a symbol of injustice, death, hatred, and apathy with patience. Like Christ, we must also carry our cross patiently in a world that is often unfair, indifferent, violent and rude. Jesus said: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years confined in a prison cell in Robben Island and Pollsmoor prison for fighting apartheid, racial discrimination in South Africa. Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. Soon after his release Mandela began advocating reconciliation and political dialogue with the political opposition. Nelson Mandela received the Nobel peace prize in 1993 and became the first black president of South Africa on May 10, 1994. In an act of good will and reconciliation Mandela invited the guards of his prison to the ceremony of inauguration. Pray for those who discourage us Pray for those who put us down Pray for those who do us violence Pray for those who are unfair to us.
7. Pray for the Living and the dead :
Pray for the Living and the dead In the catacomb of Priscilla 5th century there is this inscription by an early Christian: "I implore you, brothers to pray whenever you come here and invoke the Father and Son in all your prayers so that they might save Agape (the person in the tomb) forever" Catholics believe that we belong to one body that of Christ Rom 12:5. We also believe that we can pray for others in this life and in the life to come. Because the unity of the body of Christ is not fractured or separated by death. Praying for the living and the dead is part of our Judeo-Christian tradition. To this day devout Jews pray for the dead. Christianity inherited this practice from the people of the Old Covenant. Jesus prayed for his disciples, likewise we should also pray for others specially: The poor The homeless Those who find life difficult Those who are trapped by hatred and injustice Those who are victims of hunger, war, and social injustice Those who have no one to pray for them. Those souls in purgatory awaiting the beatific vision. Inscription in Christian catacomb, requesting Prayers for the dead. 5th century
Serenity Prayer :
Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen. For more presentation please visit: http://www.slideshare.net/pcuadra/slideshows
