Dap di dap…..
I'm sitting here in this lovely room
Under the light of the big full moon
Enjoying my time
I've got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
Just being with you
And awakening happens
and I'm mindful
I'm moving around on my feet
not going too fast
nobody to meet
I'd like to open my heart to you
I feel so happy
just walking with you
And awakening happens
And I'm mindful
How wonderful!
How wonderful!
Today we're looking at the full full moon
and all that we can see
is a fresh new plum plum tree
What a wonder-wonder-what a wonderful moon
What a wonderful night
Being here together just feels so right
We know that we are free
There's no other place to be
Meditation is so good for me
Meditation gives me a path that sets me free

Ischemia refers to the absence of oxygen in a tissue or organ. Ischemia can cause cells to die and organs to fail and protecting cells, tissues and organs from ischemia-based damaged is an important research topic.
Perfusion refers to the restoration of the blood flow to an organ or tissue that had experienced a cessation of blood flow for a period of time. Even though the restoration of circulation is far preferable to ischemia, perfusion has its own share of side effects. For example, perfusion heightens cells death and inflammation and this can greatly exacerbate the physical condition of the patient after a heart attack, traumatic limb injury, or organ donation.
"Think about trying to hold onto a nuclear power plant after you unplug the electricity and cannot pump water to cool it down," said Jack Yu, Chief of Medical College of Georgia's Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. "All kinds of bad things start happening,"
Earlier studies in the laboratory of Babak Baban have shown that stem cells can improve new blood vessel growth and turn down the severe inflammation after perfusion (see Baban, et al., Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2012 Dec;303(11):R1136-46 and Mozaffari MS, Am J Cardiovasc Dis. 2013 Nov 1;3(4):180-96). Baban is an immunologist in the Medical College of Georgia and College of Dental Medicine at Georgia Regents University.
The new study from the Baban laboratory shows that an enzyme called indolamine 2,3,-dioxygenase or IDO can regulate inflammation during perfusion. IDO is widely known to generate immune tolerance and dampen the immune response in the developing embryo and fetus, but it turns out that stem cells also make this enzyme.
In their study, Including IDO with bone marrow-derived stem cells increased the healing efficiency of injected stem cells.
Also indicators of inflammation, swelling, and cell death decreased in animals that received bone marrow-derived stem cell injections and had IDO. Baban's group also showed that the injected stem cells increased endogenous expression of IDO in the perfused tissues.
Baban thinks that even though these experiments were performed in mice, because mice tend to be a rather good model system for limb perfusion/ischemia, these results might be applicable in the clinic. "We don't want to turn off the immune system, we want to turn it back to normal," said Baban
According to Baban's collaborator, Jack Yu, even a short period of inadequate blood supply and nutrients results in the rapid accumulation of destructive acidic metabolites, reactive oxygen species (also known as free radicals), and cellular damage. The power plant of the cell, small structures called the mitochondria, tend to be one of the earliest casualties of ischemia/perfusion. Since mitochondria require oxygen to make a chemical called ATP, which is the energy currency in cells, a lack of oxygen makes the mitochondria leaky, swollen and dysfunctional.
"The mitochondria are very sick," said Yu. " When blood flow is restored, it can put huge additional stress on sick powerhouses. "They start to leak things that should not be outside the mitochondria."
Without adequate energy production and a cellular power plant that leaks, the cells fill with toxic byproducts that cause the cells to commit a kind of cellular hari-kari. Inflammation is a response to dying cells, since the role of inflammation is to remove dead or dying cells, but inflammation can give the coup de grace to cells that are already on the edge. Therefore, inflammation can worsen the problem of cell death.
Even though these results were applied to limb ischemia perfusion, Baban and his colleagues think that their results are applicable to other types of ischemia perfusion events, such as heart attacks and deep burns. Yu, for example, has noticed that in the case of burn patients, the transplantation of new tissue into areas that have undergone ischemia perfusion can die off even while the patient is still in the operating room.
"It cuts across many individual disease conditions," said Yu. Transplant centers already are experimenting with pulsing donor organs to prevent reperfusion trauma.
The next experiments will include determining if more is better. That is, if giving more stem cells will improve the condition of the injured animal. In these experiments, which were published in the journal PLoS One, only one stem cell dose was given. Also, IDO-enhancing drugs will be examined for their ability to prevent reperfusion damage.
Even though stem cells are not given to patients in hospitals after reperfusion, stem cell-based treatments are being tested for their ability to augment healing after reperfusion. Presently, physicians reestablish blood flow and then give broad-spectrum antibiotics. The results are inconsistent. Hopefully, this work by Baban and others will pave the road for future work that leads to human clinical trials.

Prayer is the oldest but the most powerful weapon a Christian has. It is the key to a victorious life like a key to open the morning and a lock to close the night. Yet among the Christian tools, it is the most neglected and abused. It seems like the most boring subject matter to discuss.
According to a famous Filipino evangelist, Mike Lacanilao, prayer is the simplest cry. It is talking to God with a deeper meaning. Prayer is an outpouring of spirit and emotion, which is beyond the words that we can say. It is moving the God of the universe to act on our behalf.
An effective prayer is one that touches the heart of God to move.
Why do we need to pray?
- The Word of God commands us to pray.
"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up". –Luke 18:1
"pray continually…" -1Thessalonians 5:17
- We have a contest to win.
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."-Matthew 26:41
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people". –Ephesians 6:18
- We have a position to occupy.
"…The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." -James 5:16b
The Principles for Effective Prayer
P-ersonal relationship with Christ. John 15:1; John 1:12; Romans 8
We need to have a personal relationship with Christ for Him to hear our prayers. Not all people are children of God, only those who have received Him as Lord and personal Savior.
R-epentance and Righteousness. Psalm 66:18
The Lord will not hear our prayer if we have hidden sins in our hearts.
A-doration, Respect and Awe. Psalm 27:4
When we come to the Lord in prayer, we must come with an attitude of adoration, respect and awe.
Y-ielding to the Will of God. John 15:7
When we come to the Lord, we must be ready to submit to the will of God. We must be ready and willing to obey.
E-xpectant Heart. Mark 11:24; 1 Peter 5:7
When we come to God in prayer, we must come expecting to receive the answer.
R-ejoice in the Lord. Philippians 4:4
We must come with a joyful heart in the presence of God.
What does Intercessory Prayer do?
- Unity in the church
- Healing in the church
- Causes revival, growth and maturity
- Empowers the workers and lay leaders of the church
I have condensed this post from the message of Rev Allan Asuncion, Administrative Pastor of Tatay United Methodist Church, Rizal Philippines at our Seminar on the Principles for Effective Prayer and Praying for One Another, which has been held in our church, the Lagro United Methodist Church last July 15, 2012 at 2:00PM.
I hope by sharing this priceless knowledge, those who would be able to read this may find a new encouragement or inspiration to pray. Prayer is the strength of a Christian just as the poster in our church bulletin board says, "Seven days without prayer makes one Weak". Indeed, we can draw strength from talking with God and immersing into His glorious presence. There is no other way of nurturing our personal relationship with our Lord Jesus than by soaking ourselves in His presence where we can express our love and devotion for Him.
Life on earth is full of complexities that at times, we begin to hate the world. There is hope in Christ and we can experience the fullness of life that He has promised if we continue without exhaustion to abide in Him: in His word and in His presence. Then we can triumph over each day's temptations and pass each test that comes our way, which would bring us to the fullness of Christ-likeness even while we are still here on this earth.

Build a better blog by avoiding these common mistakes…
More is not always better — especially when it comes to topics on a blog.
I know it may be tempting to target everyone with multiple subjects, but when you do this, you end up alienating everyone because your focus is unclear.
Find one topic you enjoy talking about and stick to it. Avoid creating a blog flea market.
Note: Some personal blogs can get away with this, but if you are trying to make money from a blog, it's best to choose a niche.

In the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Baha'u'llah has said "We have made music a ladder by which souls may ascend to the realm on high" and I'm sure you have all experienced this to be true at times while listening to certain music. The emotions and thoughts that music can engender in heart, mind and soul can at times be truly sublime. Now combine this with the blessed words of the Holy Messengers in a reflective atmosphere and its effects can become soul-stirring.
Over the last 8 years that we've been holding a monthly public devotional event called Soul Food, we have learnt how the accompaniment of music to the Holy Writings can truly uplift the atmosphere.
There is a vast ocean of beautiful music that can be used to assist. In selecting the right background music it needs to fulfil its purpose of uplifting the writings rather than overpowering it. Also the appropriate feel of music to match the tone of the quotes being read is also important. I have found that often movie sound tracks are ideal, as they tell a story and are often longer in length .
Below I have compiled a list of 10 tracks we have used in Soul Food that I would recommend as a good start for your next series of devotionals. The first five are taken from motion pictures, all of which I would also recommend to watch, and the last five are a range of music by different composers. The links for where you can purchase these tracks are also attached. Continue reading

Having chosen to pursue a career in football at a time when it was far from fashionable, Pia Sundhage overcame the odds to enjoy remarkable success as an international player and coach. Now at the helm of the USA women's national team, she is aiming to rain on host Germany's parade at the FIFA Women's World Cup™ this summer.
A European champion in 1984, Pia played at two FIFA World Cups, helping Sweden to a third-place finish in 1991. She was also assistant coach to Marika Domanski Lyfors, who was in charge of China PR at the last edition in 2007. One year later she took over as head coach of the USA women's team, where she quickly made her mark, winning the Algarve Cup and the Women's Olympic Football Tournament in Beijing.
Although the Stars and Stripes needed a play-off against Italy to claim the last berth for Germany 2011, the 50-year-old is upbeat about her team's chances at the finals. In an exclusive interview with FIFA.com, Pia talks in detail about this showpiece event, and also reminisces on her early playing days and her move into coaching.
FIFA.com: Can you tell us how you first got involved with football?
*Pia Sundhage: I was five or six years old and I got into the game through my neighbours. Girls didn't play football in those days, so I was seen as different, even a little odd. But my parents knew better and told me from the start to do whatever I wanted, so I played football everywhere. I played my first proper game at the age of 11 and there was a 25-year-old in our team. I thought, 'Boy, is she old' (laughs).*
As you say, it was still unusual at that time for women to play football. How did you get the idea that it could be the sport for you?
At weekends they always used to show the English First Division on television and I liked it. For me it was all about the pleasure I got from scoring. Handball was popular in those days, but then a lot of girls suddenly changed to football. We were all proud to do the same thing as the guys.
What memories do you have of the first FIFA Women's World Cup in 1991?
It was a fantastic event. Emotionally it was indescribable. In 1984 we had the first European championship, and I was pushing hard for a World Cup at the time. Then at the age of 31 it became reality. We had the chance to do the same as the men. I still feel proud when I think back to the hordes of fans and great stadiums. It was an excellent experience despite our failing to win it.
Four years later the FIFA Women's World Cup was held in Sweden, your home country. What are your memories of that?
I remember Mia Hamm who, believe it or not, came over from the US to promote the tournament. In the first game when we played Brazil, the fan and media presence was overwhelming. That tournament was great for developing women's football across the board.
Can you explain why women's football was so strong in Sweden at that time?
I think it was mainly because of the good players we had. When I was a child I had to change my name from Pia to Pelle because, as a girl, I was not allowed to play football. Fortunately, those problems are now history. We exercised our right to play football, which led to our success.
When I was a child I had to change my name from Pia to Pelle because, as a girl, I was not allowed to play football. Fortunately, those problems are now history.
After a long playing career you became a coach. How did that come about?
It was not a conscious decision, it just happened. I've always loved the game because I'm fascinated by what happens on the pitch. Even when I was still playing I trained the women's age-group teams, and at 27 I obtained the highest coaching licence. I've made many friends and enjoyed good times thanks to football, and it was time to give something back. It's the best job you can have.
Is coaching the USA Women's National team also the best job you can have?
Yes, definitely. There's absolutely no doubt about it. When I was younger I wanted to take charge of a men's team, but now I'm very happy where I am. The game is developing at a pace and you have to keep learning, which is what makes it so interesting for me.
You were the last team to qualify for Germany 2011 after coming through a play-off. What are your thoughts on that?
For me the glass is half full, so I see our qualification in a positive light. We took everything for granted and were almost too late to correct our mistakes. But we took our second chance. Today it's not enough to just rely on being good. You need to work hard on tactics because there are many good teams. We showed what we could do in the play-offs and we deserve our place at the World Cup.
Who do you see as favourite for the title and how far do you think your team can go?
So far a lot of people have been talking about Germany, but now it's time to talk about the USA. We're focusing on our [opening] game against Korea DPR; we're not thinking about the final yet. I want to enjoy this tournament. For now, we're going to work on putting a few things right. The fans can look forward to a marvellous event, because having this World Cup in Germany is the best thing that could have happened to women's football.
Have you seen any up-and-coming stars we should watch for?
There were some fantastic prospects at the U-20 World Cup, but I don't see any new stars emerging before the finals. I have every faith that the established players will take centre stage there, although a young player will no doubt also appear and make a name for herself.
Is this down to the ongoing development of women's football in recent decades?
Most certainly. The biggest development has been in technique. There are no longer huge gaps between teams in terms of performance, which wasn't the case before. The game has become more even. All the players are extremely fit, which is not to say they were unfit before. The next step will be tactics. Reading the game and making decisions when play is in full flight will be the next challenge.
Finally, are women or men better coaches for a women's team?
The quality of a coach has nothing to do with his or her gender. However, as a woman, it's extremely difficult to find a coaching job. I was lucky to be able to work in China, Norway and now the US. However, not all my colleagues have had the same opportunities. One thing I would say is that only a woman who has overcome all the obstacles in her path knows what it means to play at this high level. It's not for me to say whether that makes us better coaches.

The music video for "The Black Plot" by High On Fire has been released, and it might just be the best thing ever. Of course, we're biased—the creative force behind the imagery is Skinner, a Heavy Metal cover artist (for the sold-out issue 277). It is from his twisted brain and frantic paintbrush that these visions flow, with much assistance and enabling from design/production house Hey Beautiful Jerk. The studio does a lot of high-profile work, for artists like Rihanna and Run the Jewels, and corporate clients including MTV, Midas and Geico. This clip is a little grungier, and a little geekier, with influences from Ralph Bakshi, Miyazaki, Moebius and Frank Frazetta—and that's why we like it. Here's the video:
High On Fire "The Black Plot" from Hey Beautiful Jerk on Vimeo.
"I wanted to make an animated short film with Hey Beautiful Jerk, I just didn't know how completely crazy it would get," says Skinner. "At first I thought we should do a real simple story with action fights to wear down the timing a little bit. But then I thought, fuck it, here's a super complicated story with a million characters and it's off the wall crazy and shit. Wanna do it?"
Check out some of the art Skinner produced for the video (and keep tabs on his Instagram for more):
"From the beginning of this project, I had a pretty clear vision of what I wanted 'The Black Plot' to be and we have definitely achieved that vision," says Gina Niespodziani of Hey Beautiful Jerk. "The creative partnership that Skinner, Mark and I have developed is fucking awesome and it feels super special. We work together incredibly well and we all bring such different skills and perspectives to the table, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts, but the parts are pretty good too. It is such a fun and rewarding way to work."

Whenever a game gets tagged as "games as art", it gets my attention. I tend to enjoy games that display a high level of creativity, and fall outside the standard gaming conventions of Space Marine Shooter XIII or Fantasy World 101. Typically, any game that gets classified as "art" displays incredible artistic, storytelling, or musical talent on the part of the developers, and usually combines all of the above to become something very memorable and different for the player. When it works, these games can be utterly brilliant. Games like Loco Roco, Planescape: Torment, Okami, Braid, Ico, Beyond Good & Evil are shining examples of games with such a incredible level of artistic creativity that you're almost required to like them. However, creating such a game can also be a crutch for developers who think they can sacrifice actual quality gameplay for some pretty pictures, sounds, or a kitschy gimmick. The recent Scribblenauts fell squarely into this category for me, as did games like Odin Sphere and Flower. Sure, they're great to look at, but if you're bored in an hour, no amount of eye candy is going to save it. In short, if a game is to succeed as "art", it needs to have solid gameplay to back up all the actual artistry.
In theory, Axel and Pixel should be the very definition of an artistic game. The story revolves around a painter (Axel) and is trusty dog (Pixel) who live in an idyllic cabin in the mountains. When Axel falls asleep one afternoon listening to his record player, they are somehow transported into a surrealistic parallel universe, and must escape through solving a series of 24 different bizarre puzzles and mini-games.
I do have to give the artists at developer Silver Wish credit for creating a truly bizarre and intriguing world. The graphics are a strange combination of simplistic cartoons, incredible hand-drawn landscapes, and what looks like images cut-and-pasted straight from actual photographs. If you were to somehow combine the styles of Salvador Dali, Thomas Kinkaide, and your 5-year-old's school art project, Axel and Pixel would likely be the result. I know it sounds crazy, but it works incredibly well and truly fits the unique nature of the game. The artistic design is far and away the best quality of this title, and I looked forward to each new level to see what kind of strange and amazing things the artists would be throwing into this world. The audio fares pretty well also, with some nice ambient background music and Axel using Simsesque gibberish-speak to let you know when he's found something or encountered a problem.
At it's heart, Axel and Pixel is a basic point-and-click adventure game. Each of the levels takes place on a single full-screen frame, and you are able to place your cursor on certain objects and click to interact with them. Active objects cause your cursor to change color or shape to somewhat indicate what sort of actions can be taken. It will turn into a paw if Pixel can do something with it, footprints to show Axel can walk or climb there, a or a hand to let you know that it can be moved. Your task, then, is to figure out what series of interactions or movements will allow Axel and Pixel to get from one side of the screen to the other.
Unfortunately, this is where things start to fall down. I've played a lot of adventure games in my lifetime, and don't exaggerate when I say that Axel and Pixel might be the easiest one I've ever come across. Many of the puzzles have rather unique solutions (i.e. using bubble gum to create a slinghot to fling boulders at a dam that will wash away a giant pipe-smoking hedgehog when it breaks), but there's no real challenge in finding them. Since there are typically only 3-4 active items on any given level, it's simply a matter of trial and error to repeatedly click on them and find out which one pulls the lever, opens the door, or moves the boulder out of the way to access the next stage. It also suffers from a common problem in adventure games – the dreaded "glue the cell phone to the cat" syndrome. There's no way for the player to logically come up with the solution because they don't really make any sense, it's just a matter of doing actions or combining items until one of them works. You'll occasionally pick up items and put them in your inventory for later use, but the inventory screen provides no description as to what they are, and the actual on-screen graphics were too small to tell. Did I just pick up a bottle or a flower? Is that a gear or a plate? Without knowing what these items were, there was no real way to puzzle out how they could be put to use, other than basic guesswork. All that aside, I never got stuck or had to think about any of the puzzles for more than a couple minutes, and breezed through the entire game without any difficulty. Maybe they were shooting for a younger audience, but I think some of the graphics might scare the kids it was intended for. The stop-motion animated Ice Giant and creepy Rat King even unnerved me a little bit, so I imagine they may be a bit much for young gamers.
To break up the adventure aspect, there are a few levels that use a mini-game instead – such as piloting a hot-air balloon through a cave, driving a 4-wheeler through the mountains, or sailing a boat downstream. These are decent diversions, I suppose, but none of them were particularly memorable. Each of these mini-games can be played on it's own from the main menu, but I can't really imagine why I'd want to do so.
While getting from one side of the screen to the other is the main goal, there are also collectables scattered throughout each level. Tubes of paint can be collected, Pixel can dig up bones, and Axel will whip out his easel and do a sketch if he finds a particularly nice vista. Tracking down these items can adds some replayability to the game, but once you've solved the main puzzle for each level, playing through them again – this time pixel-hunting to find triggers for the hidden items – isn't terribly appealing.
Probably the biggest issue most gamers will have with Axel and Pixel is its length. I started it at 6:00, and was finished with the entire game by 9:30 – and that included a 30 minute break for dinner. It's all of 3 hours long, give or take, without a huge amount of replay value. The price tag is pretty low at 800 points, but even that isn't much gaming value for the dollar.
Axel and Pixel gets full credit for attempting to make a creative, artistic game, but the low difficulty and short length cause it to unfortunately fall short of the mark. That said, I'd certainly be interested to see what Silver Wish can do with a sequel. They created a truly beautiful game world, and the addition of more challenging puzzles could possibly make for a great title. As it stands, however, I'd classify it as an ambitious but ultimately flawed entry in the "games as art" category.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is currently one of the highest-grossing film franchises. With movies like Iron Man, The Avengers and The Guardians of the Galaxy, it's not really surprising. Founded in 1939, Marvel Comics has had a long and winding history. From the verge of bankruptcy in 1996, they sprung back and now are known for making some of the most popular entertainment on both the big and small screen.
One of the big things about the Marvel Cinematic Universe is how well tied together everything is. There are bits of story lines that can be found present from one movie to another, even if the characters are all different. It can cause quite a bit of excitement among the comic book fans to see small easter eggs or references that only people who have been immersing themselves in the comic book universe for years could find.
And the television series – Marvel's Agent Carter and Marvel's Agents of SHIELD – that are part of the MCU are also quite good at tying into the movies as supplemental stories. You don't have to know everything about the movies to enjoy the television shows, and vice versa. But you have the ability to understand so much more about the bigger picture of the storyline if you're familiar with more than just one portion of the franchise
Marvel's Agent Carter takes place in 1946, three years after the first Captain America movie. Going into the show we know that the war is over, Peggy Carter still loves and misses Captain America, that she is working for the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), and that Howard Stark has been framed for selling some of the weapons he's invented. Since the SSR believes that Stark is behind the sale of his weapons, especially since he has gone on the run, Carter must work work secretly with Stark's butler (Jarvis) to clear Stark's name and find the real villains in this story.
Agent Carter is a wonderful mix of period piece, mystery, scifi and drama. It can offer something entertaining to any viewer – whether you like big action fight scenes, trying to unravel the mystery before the the big reveal, or development of relationships (not just romantic!) between characters who need to depend on each other.
The Cast
There were a few familiar faces for those who are intimate with the MCU. Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter) and Dominic Cooper (Howard Stark) were both introduced to viewers in Captain America: The First Avenger. We also get to see Toby Jones make an appearance after the ending credits of the final episode, reprising his role as Arnim Zola. Each of these characters has continued to develop in the same strain that we see them previously – there's been solid and consistent character development in the transition from the big screen to the small screen for these three.
Other notable members of the cast include Chad Michael Murray, who fans would know from One Tree Hill, and Joss Whedon alumni Enver Gjokaj. I've personally been watching Gjokaj's career since he was a regular on Dollhouse, and each time I see him I am thoroughly impressed with this man's talent. I have fingers crossed that he'll go quite far.
Peggy Carter As A Lead
Peggy Carter is a great choice for a female-led Marvel story, and it has made me really happy that Marvel decided to make a series based on her. I mean, a superhero movie with a female lead would be amazing, but I'll take what I can get. And when what I can get is a period piece with a kick-ass female who doesn't fit into the traditional feminine roles of that time, I'm all over it.
Carter works best for this type of story for a number of reasons, in my opinion.
First – we already know her. It's not going to take a lot of back story to introduce us to her, and we can jump right into the story itself. This was definitely important since the first season of this show only had eight episodes. There wasn't time to build into the meat of the story.
Second – Carter is one of the more relatable characters in the MCU. She's your every day woman, without having super powers to fall back on. She's just like us, only in an amazing and wonderful alternate universe where super powers aren't unheard of. As much as I have loved most of what has been in the MCU, as much as it's had the kick-ass characters I wish I could be, it's Peggy Carter who is more realistic and relatable that these other characters.
Third – being a woman working in a mostly male-dominated field in that period of time gave us different dimensions of the struggles that Carter had to face. Not only was she having to fight bad guys and try to keep herself out of trouble, but we also had to see the dynamics of her being constantly overlooked by her coworkers and politicians, because of the fact that she was female. We got to see how she dealt with going from being the hot shot of the field to the person delegated to get coffee and lunch orders for the men in her office. We got to see how underestimated she always was, and not just how she fought to prove that perception wrong, but also how she used that perception to her own benefit.
So What's Next?
At this point, it's still unknown whether there will be a second season of Marvel's Agent Carter. Personally, as much as I absolutely loved it, it closed in a way that isn't a cliffhanger. It could work solely as a chapter in SHIELD's history… but it also had an easter egg after the credits of the last episode that teases us about a potential storyline for another season.
What do you think?
Did you get the opportunity to watch Marvel's Agent Carter? What were your thoughts on the choice to make a full television series on Agent Carter? Would you watch a second season?

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Friday signed into law a massive defense policy bill that endorses his plan to fight Islamic State militants, including air strikes and training Iraqis and moderate Syrian rebels.
The law authorizes funds for basic military operations, from a 1 percent pay raise for troops to the purchase of ships, aircraft and other war-fighting equipment.
It also authorizes the training and equipping of moderate Syrian rebels battling the extremists for two years and provides $5 billion to train Iraqis battling the militants who brutally rule large sections of the two countries.
The measure provides the core funding of $521.3 billion for the military and $63.7 billion for overseas operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite Obama's objections, it maintains a ban on transferring terror suspects from the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba to the United States for prosecution or imprisonment.
Obama issued a separate statement criticizing the ban on Guantanamo transfers in the defense bill and the government funding bill he signed earlier this week. Obama declared at the outset of his presidency that he wanted to close the detention center, but Congress has thwarted his efforts.
"I have consistently opposed these restrictions and will continue to work with the Congress to remove them," Obama said. "The Guantanamo detention facility's continued operation undermines our national security. We must close it."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, highlighted the ban on Guantanamo transfers. He said bringing terror suspects to the U.S. "would be both dangerous and deeply unpopular" with Americans.
"House Republicans will continue to do all we can to protect our national security and support our men and women in uniform, and look forward to working with the president to do the same," he said.
The Pentagon sought cuts in military benefits. Lawmakers compromised in the bill by agreeing to make service members pay $3 more for co-pays on prescription drugs and trimming the growth of the off-base housing allowance by 1 percent instead of the Pentagon's deeper 5 percent recommendation.
The law also prohibits retirement of the A-10 Warthog, the close-air support plane often described as ugly but invaluable.
The law changes the way the military justice system deals with sexual assault cases, including scrapping the nearly century-old practice of using a "good soldier defense" to raise doubts that a crime has been committed. The measure gives accusers a greater say in whether their cases are litigated in the military or civilian court system, and would establish a confidential process to allow victims to challenge their separation or discharge from the military.
It also makes victims of the November 2009 attack at Fort Hood, Texas, eligible to receive the Purple Heart. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded by Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, who has said he was angry about being deployed to Afghanistan and wanted to protect Islamic andTaliban leaders from U.S. troops.

Revel is the more casual younger sibling to sister restaurant Joule. Cozy up to the long butcher-block counter (the barstools are my seats of choice), and you're basically right there in the kitchen while eating your dumplings, Korean pancakes, rice bowls, and noodle dishes.
I always learn something while watching Beard-nominated chefs Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi put their own twists on classic Asian food, like the Smoky Pork Dandan Noodles ($15). Dan dan noodles are one of my emergency foods at home. They're quick, easy, and I never get tired of eating noodles covered in a spicy pork sauce, complete with pungent preserved vegetables and crunchy peanuts.
At Revel, dan dan noodles get an upscale, Southern-styled update. Instead of ground pork, you'll find five-spice-rubbed pork butt that's slow-cooked overnight and then smoked. Turmeric-pickled collard greens add earthiness, while cracklings are mixed in with peanuts as a topping to accompany green onions. (Note: Revel also has a version of dan dan noodles on the current weekend brunch menu, served with smoked chili, eggplant, Thai basil, and peanut.)
The springy, wide-cut wheat noodles are made in-house, and they're a good vehicle for the sauce —and what a sauce it is. It's a little tangy, a little spicy, and a little earthy. The most prominent flavors come from black vinegar, chili, sesame oil, and Szechuan peppercorn. In fact, there's also Szechuan peppercorn in both the wheat noodles and the crackling/peanut mixture, providing subtle numbing effect that complements the slight spiciness of the dish for a typical "ma la" effect. Overall, the balance of flavors is ideal, though you can certainly request Revel's popular condiment tray to spice things up as you wish.
What I love about dan dan noodles is mixing everything up and then getting different flavors with each pull of the chopsticks. With Revel's Asian/Southern fusion version, some bites have pulled pork, some have collard greens, some have crispy crackling, and more. One thing's for sure: no matter how you eat them every bite is delicious.

A number of scholarship awards are available to Hempfield students through the Hempfield Foundation. Recipients are selected by the Foundation Scholarship Committee or as noted below. Please call 717-368-2354 with any questions.
All 2020 applications are due by April 1, 2020.
Presented annually to a male or female senior with a minimum of a 3.0 scholastic grade point average and plans to attend a four-year college/university majoring in secondary or elementary education. The Scholarship/Award will be presented in the amount of $1,000.00 to the chosen applicant at the HHS Commencement Awards Ceremony.
This award serves as a remembrance to Mr. Bruce Fasnacht who passed away in October of 2011. Mr. Fasnacht began his career with Hempfield in the fall of 1959. Most recently, he was co-coordinator of the Senior Citizen Tax Relief Program with the Hempfield School District.
Mr. Fasnacht served in a variety of capacities for the high school, district, and community. He was a member of the Social Studies Department, Guidance Department, and Administrative team. Bruce may best be remembered as the voice of the Black Knights announcing football, basketball, and gymnastics events. He was also the announcer for many PIAA championship games. Mr. Fasnacht was elected to the School Board of Directors after his retirement from Hempfield High School. At the time of his death, he had been a part of the Hempfield basketball program for over fifty years.
Mr. Fasnacht leaves behind a family of teachers. His wife Lois taught sixth grade at Rohrerstown Elementary for 25 years. His brother Jeff retired from Hempfield at the end of the 2011 school year. Currently his daughter, Mrs. Vicki Marrolli, teaches 9th grade American History. As a family we are proud of the contributions and accomplishments of this man. We wish the applicants much success as they continue their educational journeys.
This scholarship is made possible by an endowment from Barbara Holmberg in memory of her husband Richard Holmberg. As long time residents and supporters of Hempfield, the Holmbergs understand the importance of education and its value to future generations of students. This award is based on financial need. It is a one-time scholarship of $3,000.00.
This scholarship is made possible by an endowment from Dr. Richard Bryson. For many years, Dr. Bryson was a Landisville physician and also served as a Hempfield School physician. He was an avid Hempfield sports fan. Mary Bryson Dentler was a Hempfield graduate.
Students who plan on attending IUP (Indiana University of PA), plan on teaching, or were involved in the high school swimming program, are given preference for these awards based on scholarship and financial need. It is awarded to a male or female recipient and is a one-time scholarship of $3,000.00.
The Timothy David Nolt Memorial Scholarship Award is presented annually, in the spring, to a male Hempfield High School student-athlete, who has achieved a minimum of a 3.25 scholastic grade point average, and who has participated on the varsity soccer team. The award recipient must have demonstrated good sportsmanship, character, and leadership, and must have shown academic strength in the fields of math, science and technology. He should have an educational goal of attending college.
This award is given by the Nolt Family as a memorial to Timothy Nolt, an outstanding graduate of Hempfield's Class of 1987, who passed away in April 2011. While in Hempfield schools, he participated in soccer programs from elementary grades through his senior year. He demonstrated academic and athletic excellence throughout his educational and professional career.
An ambitious student, Tim earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University and a Master's in Business Administration, emphasis in finance from the University of Connecticut. As a parent, Tim continued to demonstrate his love and expertise in soccer by coaching the Youth program in Hebron, Connecticut. Throughout his life he possessed integrity, loyalty, and a strong work ethic. At the time of his death, he was serving in an executive managerial position at UTC-Pratt & Whitney Corporation, East Hartford, Connecticut.
Applicants from the senior class will be judged by a Hempfield faculty representative and members of the Nolt family. This scholarship, in the amount of $1,000.00, will be presented to the chosen recipient at the Hempfield High School Commencement Awards Ceremony.
Altruism is selfless concern for the welfare of others or giving without regard to reward or need for recognition. This one time award of $500 is made to the student most exemplifying the ideals of altruism and is given at the annual Senior Awards Ceremony. The award recipient is chosen by the Hempfield High School faculty.

The Joywheel
This tune's 'bout the upliftment of the Joywheel, my term for transcultural dancefloors of profound and spiritual celebration where we can all dance to eachother's music in a drug-and- alcohol-free family-friendly zone where no-one has to worry 'bout overstoned drunken geezers vomiting over their kids.
C'mon Kings Cross!
Danse, danse.
People of all ages
out of their cages.
People of all races
and interspaces.
People of all books,
with deep down the same outlook,
People of relation
We're talkin' bout roughsleepers
and old doorkeepers:
We're talkin bout conditions
seen in visions.
We're talkin bout release
and inner peace
We're talkin bout accord
across the board.
O the joywheel turning,
dance if you are burning,
religion of the dancers…
If you want to rave it
like royal David
get out of your footwear,
au contraire,
get out of your system
the old abysm,
up comes the full moon
to party, this is opportune.
Dreadman from the street
Anastasia from the elite,
someone from the army,
but that don't alarm me!
Check the cool granny
cruisin at the hootenanny.
Now the vibes are level
in this ya revel
O the joywheel spinning,
dance from the beginning,
religion of the dancers.
Joue, joue.
I want
to kiss her.
As for Ali
out of Mali,
Niger River
will deliver.
O the joywheel grooving,
move if you are moving,
religion of the dancers.
Chante, chante.
Now we're on the planet
with more Netsannet.
Now you have to laugh,
a joywheel-and-a-half.
Now you're spirits up,
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yup,
The dance releases
sorrow's antithesis.
O the joywheel flying
dance away from dying,
religion of the dancers.
O the joywheel turning,
dance if you are burning,
religion of the dancers…
O the joywheel racing,
in the dance of life we're facing,
religion of the dancers…
Give me some Stravinsky
the steel-tailed Minsky,
give me some Bolero
Coltrane and Pharoah,
play me Salif Keita
sooner or later
Hildegard of Bingen,
accused of singin.

From a parent's perspective, summer is officially over when our children go back to school. You all know when that happens! You see it when Facebook wall explodes with Back to School photos. Tomorrow, I'll join the ranks of these proud parents, and if my kids let me, I'll post their picture on Instagram!
Summer time goes fast, but it was my summer time code fest.
Four different projects took up much of my time over the last few months, and yes, I squeezed in many yoga classes and did loads of handstands!
Here Not There
Scenario: A couple sells their home, puts all of their belongings in storage and gets ready for an adventure overseas.
They needed a simple blog to document their new life. So we started with a ready-made theme and added a personal touch; a caricature of the couple and their two dogs soaring over images of major European landmarks.
A pair of Americans. Two poodles. Traveling Europe. Many adventures. True story.
Now they're back on American soil, I'm looking forward to seeing them in person (and to get my specially imported dark chocolate). See you soon Bonnie!
Rebuilding and Moving
Problem: One of my clients' site was hacked and grossly infected with malware and all kinds of undecipherable script. This happened just as she was leaving for a long road trip with her family. So not fun.
Solution: Rebuild the site from scratch.
Fortunately, I had her theme files and images tucked safely away in a folder on my computer, which I used to recreate her site and then moved it to SiteGround,* one of the hosting companies I highly recommend.
Now the site is on a secure host, with scheduled back-ups, she's making frequent updates of the WordPress core and plugins and to keep the bad guys out, she added Clef – two-factor authentication login… Hackers, beware!
Words of wisdom: Make sure your hosting company offers recurring back-ups of your website. If they don't, setting up external back-ups is a splendid idea! Talk to me if you need some solutions.
Launching and Changing
Shortly after the team at Black Dog Yoga announced their new online presence, they announced a change in ownership too. If I said this was an easy transition, I'd be lying. I loved the team I worked with, the staff and some fantastic teachers who rolled up their mats and moved on.
The new owners made some great transformations; they revamped the lobby (gorgeous), hired new teachers (amazing) and tweaked the Black Dog Yoga logo (very cool), which now grace all the studio windows, marketing materials and of course, the website!
To accommodate the new logo, the entire top portion of the website needed to be recoded:
And how's that new team working out, you want to know? Really awesome! While I miss the old one, I enjoy working with the new owners. 'Specially, Amy. I always feel like I'm writing to myself. Our emails generally start off with "Hey Amy," and end with "Thanks, Amy." 🙂
Get Guru'd
There's a new yoga app in the iTunes store! I had nothing to do with creating the app, but worked on transforming a ready-to-wear theme to reflect the branding and aesthetic of the two unique individuals, Alexa Shore and Marselen Spencer, the brains behind the Guru'd app.
If you're a yogi of any sort, it's easy to feel connected to yoga teachers. If you're a yoga connoisseur like me, you have an awesome collection of teachers you respect and look forward to their next class or workshop.
Living in a big city like Los Angeles and with many great yoga studios, it's so hard to keep track of who is teaching what, where and when. The Guru'd app allows us yogis to find and follow our favorite Gurus. Better yet, with this app, we can register for classes and events too!
Try it. Join the GURU'd family!
What's ahead?
Some changes are afoot at Amy Susan Design and Namaste Design Studio for sure. When that'll be, I'm not sure!

I've got about four chapters left to edit. Yeah! I honestly would've finished last night if I didn't look up at the clock and go, "Oh…it's 1am."
It's going well. I'm very pleased with the results. I noticed most of the spelling errors occur in the last few chapters haha, probably because I got excited about being near the end and finished transferring them all in the same day. Still, despite that I'm really enjoying the story.
My next step after this is to make all the corrections on my laptop, and let others read it. Honestly, I'm having a lot of fun with this novel.
I also spent almost all of yesterday working on another project of mine. It's a group project, and it's great. I'm so happy with how it's turning out.
Well, I'd like to get some stuff done before I go make myself some breakfast.
Till next time,

Rules For Stopping For A School Bus
With school getting ready to start back up in less than a month, here is some refresher information on when you need to stop for a School Bus in New York State.
According to the New York State DMV, a driver must stop from either direction when encountering a school bus in the process of loading or unloading students:
- On a public highway
- On multiple lane roads
- On opposite sides of divided highways
- On a public street
- On a private road
- In a parking lot
- On school property
If you don't adhere to the law you could face a stiff penalty and fine. Drivers who illegally pass stopped school buses with their red lights flashing face fines from $250 to $400 for the first conviction, $600 to $750 for the second and $750 to $1,000 for the third. Five points on your driver's license is also given for each conviction.
So as we get ready for school buses to return to the roadways, be prepared to stop!

We have just had our first swap in our Friends Having Fun Swaps. I was partnered up with Michelle of Rag-Tag Stitchin' and decided to make her a table topper. I know Michelle likes red so that is the colourway I chose.
I've never made a Dresden plate before and it was so much easier than I thought. I really enjoyed making it and will definitely be making more at some point.
I decided to stitch another Dresden
in the centre of the plate.
Of course, I also sent along some other goodies. Some red DMC thread as I know Michelle uses a lot of that. A block of Lindt chocolate. I though Michelle could eat one block a day for 18 days. Or 2 blocks over 9 days. Maybe 3 blocks over 6 days or even 18 blocks in one go!
Of course, I know she didn't do the last one! LOL!
Michelle also loves birds and I found
this gorgeous little ceramic hanger.
I hope you enjoy using your table topper Michelle.
I really enjoyed making it for you.
This gives me a grand total of one, yes one,
project for the month of April!
Linking up with Elizabeth at Such a Sew and Sew.

While the global market is currently oversupplied with crude, Rystad Energy believes this could be turned upside down over the next few years. Rystad Energy research shows that while the oil industry needs to replace 34 billion barrels of crude every year – equal to current consumption, investment decisions for only 8 billion barrels were made in 2015. This amount is less than 25% of what the market requires long-term.
"Oil prices continue to fall after OPEC failed to reach an agreement on output targets and decided to remove its obsolete output ceiling last week. This decision occurs at a time when oil companies are in the process of taking final decisions on spending programs for next year," says Jarand Rystad, Managing Partner at Rystad Energy.
E&P spending has been taken down by USD 250 billion in 2015 versus 2014 and Rystad Energy forecasts it to reduce further by USD 70 billion in 2016. Additional spending cuts in 2016 could occur with the current post-OPEC meeting oil price decline.
"We see that for most new developments oil prices are below life cycle costs. As oil companies need to pay dividends and have incompressible taxes and royalties, the majority of upstream players are destroying value as we speak and do whatever they can to cut costs. As a result, billions of barrels of crude are not being matured while global consumption growth is still very robust. Thus, a new shortage of crude is likely to come a few years down the road. When this happens, the oil service capacity will not be there to support the growth at the pace needed. There is then a risk that we will face a new era of steep cost inflation which again will drive up oil prices too much and negatively impact the global economy," says Jarand Rystad.
Rystad Energy numbers show that prior to this latest price slide the number of jobs in the oil service industry was already cut by 16% for the top 50 oil service companies. These oil service companies had aggregated revenues of USD 300 billion and 950,000 employees in 2014. To date, 150,000 employees have been laid off from these 50 companies alone with an estimated 250,000 oil service employees from the top 400 oil service companies globally.
"I am concerned that current job cuts could lead to a severe shortage of oil service capacity in a few years. It is very easy to get rid of people, but it will take a lot of effort and cash to bring people back to the industry," says Jarand Rystad. "A responsible action from petroleum nations would be to stimulate the oil price in the short term in order to incentivize drilling and field development globally and stop downscaling of oil service capacity," Jarand Rystad concludes.

Problem in threading
Hi i am new to java..
i am facing some problem in synchronization. problem is as follows:
I have a class A with two variables x and y and their getter and setter methods defined in the class.
Another class B makes an object O of class A and start two threads T1 and T2.
Both T1 and T2 can modify O.
How do i take care of synchronization here.
If i say synchronized keyword with getter and setter functions defined in class A then it does not make sure that if T1 is reading O.x then T2 does not modify O.x or O as a whole.
Keyword synchronized just make sure that same block of code or method is accessed by one thread at a time.
I hope this explains my doubt. If not then kindly let me know.
Your doubt is clearly worded, some folks have failure to understand how this works - I have discovered an efficient approach:Java Code:
public variable accessValue(boolean set, int value){if(set)value = value;return value:}else{return value;}Introduction to Programming Using Java.

Thanks Nicholas for response.
I have one more here....
If one thread T1 is accessing getter method of an Object then is it possible for other threads to access setter method of object at the same time.
Object is instance of class which contains many variables of type int, double etc..
use synchronized methods, probably all over the place. Especiallay get and set. When Thread(n) does access on a variable, the code I posted is the approach of choice, though not given in the reference works I have seen. There is also synchronized blocks, which can as well synchronize on some object. Be careful in general to place all of your instance variables in Objects, the compiler will tend to do it for you behind the scenes. If you have an int that changes often, I just write a utility class in the file that has get and set on an int, thus making it mutable.
Where exactly all this "Integer cannot be changed" is largely a consequence of large projects, a coder later can change something and that fouls up other work. You will see this a lot, and is close to the question you asked. What you can do is have get and set synchronize on the same object - Then only one method runs at a time, which one goes first will not be reliable no matter how much code you put on it, that is in part why I use the construct I posted.
Google for "Double Checked Locking is Broken" which will lead you to efficient discussions of what your question shows to be your immediate goal.
I enjoy Threading issues, most people will tell you to use Barrier class, and wait() { or sleep() and yield() } which is not what you are trying to achieve.Introduction to Programming Using Java.

If you want to synchronize around each variable separately, which sounds like what you are trying to do you can put separate sychronized("A"){} and syncrhonized("B") {} blocks around the code inside your getters and setters where the fields are read or written.
This way accessing first fields won't block access to the second:
Java Code:
int getA() { synchronized ("A") { return this.a; } } void setA(int v) { synchronized ("A") { this.a = v; } } int getB() { synchronized ("B") { return this.b; } } void setB(int v) { synchronized ("B") { this.b = v; } }

In general, voytechs shows the general approach, you can syncryonize(this){} if the variable is in the class - which obviously it would have to be to be a get or set method.
That would be where your " if T1 is reading O.x then T2 does not modify O.x or O as a whole." question actually ends up. For practical, we can say the get and set only modifiy one variable so "shift the state of the class" - well that's what you just did by changing a variable.
If you have to have several things boogie together, then use what is called a Lock Object.
These can be idiot simple, they seem to work and are canonical code for synchronized.Introduction to Programming Using Java.

Re: Perpendicular lines do not appear perpendicular

One plausible theory is that your monitor doesn't have perfectly square pixels. In looking up the specs of your monitor, I notice that the resolution is 1680/1050, which would make the aspect ratio of the viewable area of your screen 1.6 if you have perfectly square pixels. However, the standard aspect ratio of a wide-screen monitor is, instead, 1.78 (16:9). I can't tell from the information I can get online, but this raises the natural question for me...what is the actual aspect ratio of your screen? Is it a ratio which preserves square pixels, or the standard 16:9 ratio used for many wide screen monitors and televisions today? Mathematica can not tell the difference. Newer operating systems are starting include the ability to report more accurate information about monitors. I'm not sure off the top of my head if it would be quite so accurate to pick up the subtle aspect ratio difference I'm suggesting is the problem. But Mathematica has a long legacy of working on operating systems which routinely lie...yes, they really lie...about the actual size of a monitor pixel (including both Mac and Windows, incidentally...and Linux would just be hopeless in this regard). The same problem does not exist for printers. Mathematica, and pretty much every other software package out there, has supported non-square pixels on printers forever, since the operating systems gave us the tools to do so easily.

Patellar Clunk Syndrome and Patellar Fibrosis
- Discussion:
- if patient is able to flex beyond 120 deg and if scar forms on quad tendon, this scar may be carried into notch of femoral component;
- when the patient extends the knee (especially against resistance such as rising from a chair) the fibrotic nodule catches on the anterior
edge of the femoral component;
- scar eventually releases w/ a painful clunk, allowing leg to extend;
- risk factors:
- common in posterior stabilized TKR;
- patella infera is a risk factor;
- Clinical Presentation:
- pt may report loosening, dislocation, or giving out because the patella catches during extension and tracks roughly;
- Treatment:
- arthroscopic resection of the offending scar tissue
Arthroscopic managment of the patellar clunk syndrome following posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty.
The patellar clunk syndrome: A complication of posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty.

Brugger & Thomet APC9 now taking Glock mags? - Discuss!
So, I am a huge fan of the APC9. I've shot one a long time ago. Now, it seems like I will actually have to carry one.
New job requires flying around in Africa and every gram and cm are accounted for. Obvious first consideration was a light AR15 but I've been made aware by the security consultant that I very much want to be able to hide guns in a small inconspicuous bag and that's why I am going with the APC9 (seems to me like the most gun I can get in that size).
Anyway, I am already issued a G19 by the company (which I think is undergunned for pretty much any situation I might encounter) so I thought it'd be great to be able to carry an extra gun (the pilot is unarmed due to company policy but I imagine if SHTF he'd rather deal with HR instead of the earthworms).
However, the APC9 uses proprietary magazines.
My first thought was "why the hell design a brand new 9mm that DOESN'T take Glock mags?"
After I cooled down a bit, I figured I might as well give the Swiss some credit for knowing what they do perhaps a little better than me.
And just when I made peace with that notion and decided to keep the Glock back home (and just carry the APC9 + 20 round mag + 2x30 round mags), I learn about an upcoming B&T development to support Glock mags via a swap of the lower.
Now, I am thinking I'll take the Glock as well and 4x20 round mags for a slightly heavier but more scalable personal defence solution.
At this point, I should mention that cost is not an issue.
So, do you reckon the APC9-G (the one that takes G mags) is going to suffer a reliability reduction due to switching from proper machine gun mag to a pistol mag?
I will be given an automatic one but I am going to base my training around single shot because I can only take about 80 rounds on me. So, very little plan to shoot in full auto.
