Our recent series of articles on the employment rates and work challenges experienced by persons with disabilities paid only a glancing look at perhaps one of the most viable employment options for persons with disabilities—that of self-employment. According to the US Census Bureau, people with disabilities are almost twice as likely to be self-employed as persons without disabilities (14.7% compared to 8%). Although the challenges of creating and sustaining a small business may seem daunting to most of us, self-employment actually can make sound sense for many workers with disabilities. It really needs to be part of the discussion in the "transistion process" albeit typically it is not.

Celebrating Start Ups – Roshni & Shaleena
With articles and features in publications such as Huffington Post, Start-ups.co.uk, Healthy Living London and The Metro you'd be forgiven for thinking Bella Kinesis was a huge brand with big backing. The reality is that it is a small start-up with big plans and even bigger drive behind it.
Roshni and Shaleena are the brains behind the sport brand Bella Kinesis, a business that supports women in rural India with every sale made.
The girls recently attended an invite only event at Downing Street for International Women's Day, something they could only have dreamt of when they were standing next to Theo Paphitis at the #SBS winners do!
This is what the girls had to say:
"Before our business even launched, we ran a blog on our website and shared our startup story and journey into fitness. By just maintaining this and updating viewers on our progress, we were able to build a bit of a following. We knew we needed to spread our message further. We made a list of all the publications we wanted to be in and began targeting all the relevant journalists. Twitter was a massive help to both find contact details and to understand individual journalist's interests. This helped us figure out how best to approach them and eventually get a positive result" Roshni and Shaleena
What can we learn from them?

Education provider Apollo Group, Inc (APOL) reported adjusted earnings (excluding special items) of 52 cents per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, comfortably surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. However, lower revenues resulted in a 49% downslide from the prior-year earnings of $1.02 per share.
Quarter Details
Apollo reported net revenue of $996.5 billion in fourth quarter 2012, down 11.0% from prior year quarter due to decline in net revenue of University of Phoenix, owing to weak enrollment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter was $1.01 billion.
The University of Phoenix reported 13.8% fall in degreed enrollment to 328,400 students in fourth quarter 2012. New enrollment (or new degreed enrollment) at University of Phoenix declined 13.7% from the prior-year quarter to 52,800. The company had anticipated the decline in new enrollment. The decline was due to changing regulatory requirements, an improving job market, robust competition and a volatile economy.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company's Associates Degree revenue was $237.7 million, down 26% y/y; Bachelor's Degree revenue was $560.4 million, down 3.5% y/y, Master's Degree revenue declined 13% y/y to $152.2 million and Doctoral Degree revenue was $21.7 million, down 8.1% y/y.
Revenue per student increased 2% in fourth quarter 2012, owing to pricing growth and enrollment mix shift towards higher revenue generating, advanced degree-level programs.
Operating margin declined 1180 basis points to 9.0% in the quarter. Adjusted operating margin (excluding restructuring and other charges) was 10% in the quarter. Instructional and student advisory cost increased to $455.6 million in fourth quarter 2012, up 4.7% y/y. As a percentage of net revenue, costs increased 680 basis points (bps) primarily due to the company's continuous investment in technology in order to enhance student educational outcomes.
The company incurred marketing expenses of $180.3 million in fourth quarter 2012, up 5.6% y/y. This as a percentage of net revenue represents an increase of 290 basis points. Marketing expenses grew owing to increase in brand building.
Apollo had cash and cash equivalents of $1.28 billion as of August 31, 2012, compared with $602.1 million as of May 31, 2012. The company repurchased 2 million shares – worth $63.5 million – during the quarter.
Fiscal 2012
Apollo reported adjusted earnings of $3.56 for fiscal 2012, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.57 by a penny.
The company reported net revenue of $4.3 billion in fiscal 2012, down 9.7% y/y due to 10.2% decline in net revenue of University of Phoenix, owing to weak enrollment.
BPP Holdings Plc., a UK-based subsidiary of Apollo Global, provided education and training to legal and finance professionals. BPP Holdings was acquired by Apollo Global in July 2009. In fourth quarter 2012, Apollo completed the sale of BPP Holdings Ltd for $85.3 million and reported a sales gain of $26.7 million.
On October 12, 2012, the company bought the remaining 14.4% non-controlling ownership in Apollo Group from The Carlyle Group for $42.5 million in cash, in addition of a contingent payment based on performance of BPP till August 31, 2017.
The company intends to design its programs to increase the employability of its students. Also the company is coordinating with 2,000 other companies to educate their workforce. The company is receiving good response from this channel.
2013 Outlook
At the fourth quarter conference call, the company issued the net revenue guidance range of $3.65 to $3.80 billion for fiscal 2013. The company expects new degreed enrollment growth to become positive some time in fiscal 2013. Adjusted operating income is expected to be in the range of $525 to $575 million in fiscal 2013.
A peer of DeVry, Inc. (DV), Apollo Group, Inc carries a Zacks #3 Rank in the near term (Hold rating). We currently have a Neutral recommendation on Apollo Group.
Overall, we like Apollo Group's dominant market position as well as its continuous efforts to improve services and thereby student experience and outcomes. The company is also undertaking initiatives to improve operating efficiency and rationalize the cost structure. However, choppy enrollment trend and possibility of regulatory changes keep us on the sidelines.

Poaching eggs is really quite simple and a skill everyone should have. I admit it intimidated me at first; but it's easy.... As is the Salmon en Croute. The puff pastry is a bit easier to work with than phyllo, and makes a more traditional 'En Croute'. The puff pastry is the 'carb' for this meal.

Gnocchi, boiled first, then fried, gets a wonderful, crunchy exterior. We add 2 slices of chopped Prosciutto and top it with a poached egg. You could also use spaetzle or small dumplings.

Cooking a whole salmon in puff pastry is a classic party dish. This is a scaled down version for individual servings. For a dinner party they can be assembled ahead and baked at the last minute. The salmon stays moist and perfectly flaky. I've given the dimensions used in the photos. If your salmon is a different shape, you need enough pastry to cover it. Trim any excess.

It looks like Encore purchased the rights to Axis & Allies RTS. The Atari name has been completely removed from the game case and from the instrunction manual. It's been replaced with Encore everywhere which leads me to believe that Atari no longer holds the publishing rights.
It sure would be nice if we could get a 2nd version of the game, there was a LOT of potential in the game, and TimeGate has a great RTS engine to build on. There is a die hard dedicated and fairly large base of Axis & Allies RTS gamers out there.
Is there any chance we will see an Axis & Allies RTS 2 now?

Recent Developments in Respiratory Surge Preparedness
By Eric Toner, M.D., May 3, 2007
In the event of a disaster that causes an overwhelming number of patients to suffer respiratory failure, such as a severe influenza pandemic, clinicians could face two particularly difficult resource-related problems--finding a way to augment the limited number of respiratory care specialists and deciding how to allocate a limited number of mechanical ventilators [1]. Two recent developments in the field offer potential remedies.
Respiratory Care Training to Augment Limited Numbers of Respiratory Therapists
On April 30, 2007, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a training DVD designed to teach medical professionals who are not respiratory care specialists the essentials of respiratory care and ventilator management. The DVD was produced by Michael Hanley, M.D., and colleagues at the Denver Health Medical Center, as part of the AHRQ-funded Project XTREME (Cross-Training Respiratory Extenders for Medical Emergencies). The program's six modules cover infection control, respiratory care terms and definitions, manual ventilation, mechanical ventilation (using the two types of ventilators included in the Strategic National Stockpile), airway maintenance, and airway suctioning. The modules also include quizzes to assess the trainee's knowledge.
While there is an existing shortage of healthcare workers (HCWs) across the board, which would likely worsen in a pandemic, a shortage of HCWs with specialized skills, such as ICU nurses and respiratory therapists, would present a particular challenge since they cannot be easily replaced by HCWs with general skills. One potential way to augment the ranks of such specialists in a crisis would be to employ non-specialized HCWs who can be given specific, rapid training ("just-in time training"), using materials that have been prepared in advance, such as this new training DVD. This DVD is available free of charge by calling 1-800-358-9295 or by sending an e-mail to email@example.com. The DVD is accompanied by a report entitled, Model for Health Professionals' Cross-Training for Mass Casualty Respiratory Needs, which provides information on the training model and the research that guided its development.
A Decision-Making Framework for Allocation of Scarce Ventilators
On March 15, 2007, the New York State Workgroup on Ventilator Allocation in an Influenza Pandemic and the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law issued a draft document for public comment entitled "Allocation of Ventilators in an influenza Pandemic: Planning Document." This 52-page document proposes an ethical framework, a specific process, and criteria for making very difficult decisions about who should receive life saving care when demand is high and the number of ventilators available is insufficient. Because of the difficult and delicate ethical and legal issues inherent in such a proposal, the workgroup is explicitly requesting review, discussion, and comment from the professional community and the public. Comments and questions on the planning document may be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com.
After incorporating public feedback, the revised final document will be issued as voluntary, non-binding guidance for healthcare workers and facilities. The intent is to pair these guidelines with legislation that would provide immunity to professional liability suits to those health care providers who follow them. The details of the proposed criteria are beyond the scope of this brief report but are worthy of careful review by clinicians who may someday have to use them. Key elements are summarized below:
Pre-triage requirements: Facilities must reduce the need for ventilators and expand resources before instituting ventilator triage procedures.
Patient categories for triage: All patients in acute care facilities will be equally subject to triage guidelines, regardless of their disease category or role in the community.
Implications of triage for facilities: State-wide consistency will prevent inequities; chronic care facilities will maintain standards different from those of acute care facilities.
Clinical evaluation: Clinicians will evaluate patients based on universally applied objective criteria and offer time-based trials of ventilator support.
Triage decision-makers: Supervising physicians will take responsibility for triage decisions. Primary care clinicians will care for patients and will not determine ventilator allocation.
Palliative care: Palliative care will play a crucial role in providing comfort to patients, including those who do not receive ventilator treatment.
Appeals process: Physicians and patients must have a mechanism for requesting review of triage decisions; ethics committee members and others should be prepared to assist in the appeals process.
Communication about triage: Government and clinicians need to provide clear, accurate and consistent communication about triage guidelines. Data gathering and public comment can help improve the triage system.
New York State's DOH has made an admirable first attempt at creating a state-wide approach to allocation of scarce resources, rationing of care, or alteration of standards of care, and it is a very important first step. A similar national approach to these issues is also needed. After appropriate review and vetting, this document could serve as the foundation for regional and national guidelines for allocation of scarce resources.

Can a Horse be a Family Pet?
Horses are beautiful, loving animals – even if they are not the most intelligent at times! There is a lot that you can gain from having a horse as part of your household. Can they ever really be classed as pets in the traditional sense, though?
Bear in mind that a horse is going to need a lot more care than many pets, even dogs. They will need regular exercise, and lots of it. If you don't have your own stables and fields, you will need to arrange somewhere to keep your horse that has the right conditions for them. It is also going to be a very expensive animal to look after. The food alone is going to cost so much more than any other type of pet.
Having a horse is a great idea if you and your family love horse riding. It could be hard to regard a horse as a family pet though, as they need so much care and attention.

A Connected Solution That Delivers Results
Workers' compensation premiums are some of our clients largest general and administrative expenses each year. Every claim that your employees file is used to determine your workers' compensation premiums. Combine that with the fact that 25 percent to 35 percent of all workers' comp claims are fraudulent and you are left wondering, how do you protect your bottom line from fraud and abuse?
Our CompCPR Service model applies technology, intelligence, and a human touch throughout the workers' compensation continuum. If you are looking for ways to improve your workers' compensation premiums, we are here to help. We specialize in workers' compensation for small businesses and we can utilize our CompCPR Service to improve the claims process for your company. While you may never want to imagine that your employees would file fraudulent claims, the reality is that for most businesses, this will occur at some point in time, if not repeatedly. Fraud is more than just upsetting, it directly impacts your ability to profit. Instead of sitting back and trusting that you will be safe from this risk or simply accepting that you will face high costs for workers' comp, we empower our clients to take back control over this critical area of business.
If you are concerned about your company's ability to catch fraudulent claims, we are here to help. Find out more about how CompCPR works and reach out today to try our intelligent solution.
Taking Control Of Workers' Compensation
It is vital for any business to have proper workers' comp coverage in place. In fact, in most states, holding a workers' compensation policy is a legal requirement for a business to operate. However, the costs associated with workers' comp can become a heavy burden for many small businesses. This burden is only increased every time an employee files another claim. Whether you are already straining under heavy costs due to a large number of workers' comp claims at your company or you wish to take a proactive stance to prevent this from happening to you, our team at Brady Risk Management can help.
Our program, CompCPR, is an aggressive and effective claims oversight program operated on a collaborative basis with state and insurance company adjusters. This platform is designed to do all of the following:
- Hold Insurance Companies & Claims Adjusters accountable for the reserves they publish on your employees' claims.
- Have licensed Workers Comp Adjusters review your claim files to advocate on your behalf
- Produce reserve rational worksheets, based on the facts of the files, to determine correct reserves and protect your interest
- Correct exaggerated and inflated reserves to protect your Experience Mod and Premiums
All of these actions work together to help lower your premiums and improve your ability to catch fraud as it occurs.
A Holistic Approach To Workers' Compensation Policies
Here at Brady Risk Management, you will not only benefit from the outstanding CompCPR program we offer, but you will also benefit from our holistic approach to your workers' compensation policies. We understand how important it is for your business to protect yourself against risks, both known and unknown. For this reason, we strive to pair you with the ideal policy for your company. Different businesses are faced with different risks, which is why we never offer a one-size-fits-all approach to workers' comp.
Our goal is to drive down your premiums while also removing as many risks as possible. We will analyze your operations and determine where improvements can be made to better protect your business. From the construction industry, which faces a large number of workers' compensation claims, to the office setting, where claims might be fewer, we can work with you to ensure your company is making the most out of your workers' compensation insurance while lowering fraudulent claims.
We will also take the time to guide you in better practices to help you identify and prevent workers' comp fraud. Some of the following are red flags to watch for when dealing with workers' compensation claims:
- An accident occurred on a busy job site but there are no witnesses to the event.
- The employee who filed the claim has a long history of claims against your company.
- The injury took place a while ago and the employee delayed reporting it for no particular reason.
- The description of the injury lacks details.
- The description of the injury is not in line with the supposed injury that occurred.
- The employee's story does not remain consistent when questioned.
- The claim took place after the employee had been laid off or demoted.
While there is no perfect methodology for catching fraudulent claims, there are ways to improve your company's ability to weed out obvious cases of fraud. Our team can work with you to help your company identify areas where you are weak and, through the use of CompCPR, we can help you stay on top of claims as they occur.
Review, Challenge, And Correct
When you work with Brady Risk Management, you will benefit from the outstanding methodology of CompCPR. CompCPR will put you in control of your workers' compensation premium. Now is the time to hold the insurance companies accountable for the impact they have on your financials. If you have been frustrated by the continually rising premiums your company pays for workers' compensation we are here to help.
Not only will we work with you to improve in the area of workers' compensation for small businesses, but we will also work with you to improve your risk management strategy as a whole. We can help you with everything from general liability insurance to commercial property insurance. Our team takes the time to ask all the "what ifs" for you so that you can focus on what you do best — running your business. From the home health care industry to hotels and resorts, we have decades of experience working with businesses who need a stronger risk management strategy in place. Reach out today and talk to our team about improving your coverage, lowering your risks, and saving your company money.

I recently came across a stuffed butternut squash recipe that I tried out for dinner. The end result was a beautiful and satisfying dish! I made some minor modifications to it:
- I used turkey bacon, instead of regular bacon
- I ditched the celery and added baby bell peppers, instead
- I used the balsamic vinegar to make a balsamic reduction
Here's my version of the recipe.
- 1 butternut squash, halved
- 1 pound organic, grass fed lean ground beef
- 6 slices of turkey bacon
- 1/2 red onion, roughly chopped
- 6 baby bell peppers, chopped
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- A few dashes of pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Cut your butternut squash in half and scrape the seeds out.
Place your squash face down in a Pyrex that's filled with 1/2 inch of hot water.
Put in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick pan, cook your ground beef until browned. Add the olive oil and sauté the onions until translucent, then, add the bell peppers and continue cooking. Add the salt, pepper, cinnamon, and stir.
Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
Cook the turkey bacon until crispy, remove from heat, and once cooled, crumble and add it to the bowl.
Remove your squash from the oven and wait for it to cool. Then, scrap out the insides, leaving 1/4 inch of squash, and add the scooped out squash to the bowl, mixing all the ingredients. Stuff your squash with the beef mixture and place back in a 350 degree heated oven (without the water) for 20 minutes.
In a small pot, add the balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil and then, reduce to low heat. Keep stirring, for about 15-20 minutes, until the liquid reduces and thickens.
Remove from heat.
Take the squash out from the oven and drizzle the balsamic reduction on top.

A 3 Leaf Clover Thanksgiving
As I told her I loved her and missed her I heard the waiver in her voice. My mother began to cry over the phone and I soon felt like Thanksgiving was lost….
I've never really been too far away from my loved ones on a Holiday. I have always made some type of effort while using or being clean to see them. It reminds me of the time I went to my Father's for Christmas one year, sitting uncomfortably in his living room, while we gave him and my step-mother presents and excuses were made as to why he was unable to afford gifts for my wife or myself while looking under their tree at the stack of presents for her children. It's not the point of I expected a gift, I expected an effort.
I called my Dad and my Mom Thursday. They have been divorced since I had been 13. I can count on one hand the number of times they have been in the same room together since then. 3 Weddings and 2 Funerals. The miles between us seemed 2 fold this year. Some family here asked if we were going back north for the Holiday and to be honest we really just didn't have the money to do that. I spoke to my Dad and made sure he had something lined up. He did, dinner with an old schoolmate. Then I made the tough call to my Mother.
As I have gotten older I have come to realize that time can be a friend or it can be a foe. Time is one of those things that we seemingly feel we always have enough of, but yet cannot buy it. I posted several months ago that I felt like my Mother had early symptoms of Alzheimer's. Repeating the same questions or the same things over and over. Yesterday she asked me if the kids were getting acclimated here ok at least 3 times. I steadily kept the conversation going in different directions only to have it come back to the same points, until the end, when I told her I missed her and loved her, and she began to cry. I miss my Mom terribly, and I soon felt like I might as well have moved to the moon, knowing I wouldn't see her this Thanksgiving.
Trying to turn a negative into a positive is never easy. We talk about it all the time. How addicted people can seemingly find the one 3 leaf clover in a field of 4 leaf clovers. It seems we are drawn to the negative while we ignore all the beauty in our lives. I was short with people that morning, intent on being miserable, until we arrived at my wife's relatives and something happened.
I looked around. People were laughing, engaging me in conversation. I had made 2 pumpkin pies and people here were impressed that not only a man could cook, but would be willing to. The kids were exceptional, the food was excellent and I soon found myself faced with a decision. I could either continue on with struggling with feelings or thoughts, or I could just let go and enjoy the moment. I chose the latter.
In doing that I was able to enjoy the here and now. I was able to enjoy myself and others. I was able to be me without fear af acceptance. I did all of this rather unintentionally. I did it because my Mom would have wanted me to. So I give thanks to my Mother for not letting me forget how precious the moment is, because I can't buy them back, even at a Black Friday Sale.
Take Care,
Bob D.

UNC Pembroke's May 2011 nursing graduates had a 100 percent first-time pass rate on the national nursing license exam (NCLEX-RN). By passing the exam, the 19 graduates of the four-year prelicensure BSN program will receive their license and be able to practice as registered nurses.
UNCP's first-time pass rates have increased every year since its first graduating class in 2007. Last year, 95 percent of UNCP's nursing graduates passed the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), which is supervised by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
Dr. Barbara Synowiez, who has chaired the four-year prelicensure Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) program since it was founded, was especially pleased.
"This achievement speaks volumes for the quality of the UNCP nursing program. I think we have done a number of things right over the years," Dr. Synowiez said. "We've dedicated ourselves to quality instruction with a close focus on learning outcomes. The nursing faculty is committed to providing avenues for student success in the program. We are very proud of our graduates and the hard work they demonstrated throughout the program.
"Our results not only show the rigor of our program in preparing our graduates to take the NCLEX-RN, but it also shows that our program provides a strong foundation for clinical nursing practice of our graduates," she said.
UNCP's scores were the highest among UNC-system universities during the second quarter report period. The North Carolina Board of Nursing's current first-time pass rate standard is 83 percent, and UNC system bar is a little higher at 85 percent.
Dr. Kenneth Kitts, provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs was also pleased with the results. "These scores reflect the quality of our nursing program," he said. "I am very proud of the faculty, staff and students for the hard work and dedication that made this happen."
UNCP has two nursing programs, one for registered nurses to earn a BSN degree (RN-BSN) and the four-year prelicensure BSN program.
"The demand is strong for graduates of four-year baccalaureate nursing programs in the healthcare job market," Dr. Synowiez said. "The baccalaureate degree is the beginning of a rewarding career in professional nursing. Our graduates are prepared to go much further because of the well-rounded liberal arts and professional nursing education they received at UNCP. Many of our graduates are already actively enrolled in master's degree programs."
UNCP graduates are not the only group in the Department of Nursing continuing their education. Five faculty members earned doctorates in the last two years, and six more are enrolled in doctoral programs.
"The growing experience and credentials of our faculty are factors in the increasing success of our students," Dr. Synowiez said. "When we started the program, I was the only faculty member with a doctorate."
Nationally, there are few nurses with doctorates, so UNCP's approach is to grow faculty from within.
"We want to be a model nursing program," Dr. Synowiez said. "One outstanding feature of our program is the diversity of our students and faculty.
"Building a diverse nursing profession is important, especially in a region that is diverse and a nation that is increasingly diverse."
The future looks bright for UNCP nursing. A new Nursing and Health Professions building will be completed in early 2012. The new home of nursing will have more clinical learning space, and it will consolidate the program under one roof on campus for the first time.
"We will slowly begin to grow our enrollment, which is very exciting when our performance is so high," Dr. Synowiez said. "Our applicants are also more outstanding then ever."
For more information about nursing at UNCP, please contact the department at 910.521.6522 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I would've been 14 when I first found out that viewing pornography and masturbating were "sins." I told my bishop and he encouraged me to tell my parents so I either told my mom or she found out, I don't remember which. For the next 7 years though, I was trying my damnedest to keep myself from doing what is natural and healthy. For the next 7 years, I had extreme shame and guilt and on each Sunday I would get embarrassed when the deacon would come by with the bread and water trays and I had to wave him along as everyone else in my family took the sacrament. For the next 7 years, I would only be truly happy when I had gone a week or more without a "relapse." Every Sunday for the next 7 years I would attend an Alcoholics Anonymous-type class for people like me who had a "pornography addiction." For the next 7 years I would seek therapy for my addiction and the depression that came with it. For the next 7 years, I would feel suicidal every day because I couldn't control myself enough to abstain.
To this day I still have depression and suicidal ideation. To this day I'm still too hard on myself. To this day I wonder how different my life would've been if I hadn't been put through this process. Would I've been more confident? A nicer person? More giving? Better overall?
I felt dirty and like God hated me. After 4 months of "being clean," I had a relapse and with it came extreme guilt. So extreme that that same night I wrote a suicide note. During all of this, I was struggling to understand my sexuality and I had added shame and guilt for acting out on my "homosexual urges." My bishop tried his best to help and from what I remember his questions were as appropriate as the situation could allow. Even so – the retribution I received for doing a natural act and the negative emotions I inflicted upon myself are something no child should have to deal with. I had a good, fun relationship with this man before he became bishop but whenever I think of how the LDS church has hurt me, and I need a face to put all of this on, his is the one I see. To this day I still kind of hate the guy for doing what he was told to do.
My story is more mild compared to others. I was lucky but there're others who weren't and who are not today. The way these worthiness interviews are conducted needs to be changed. These untrained middle-aged men with no background checks shouldn't be allowed to ask sexually explicit questions to minors. No child should have to endure the emotional pain myself and others have endured.

Claremont School of Theology Given $50 Million for Interfaith Claremont Lincoln University
$50 million gift creates interfaith school for clergy
by Ryan E. Smith
May 16, 2011 in the Jewish Journal
Three regional religious institutions are taking the next big step in a unique partnership to teach Christian, Jewish and Muslim spiritual leaders, thanks to a historic $50 million gift.
Claremont School of Theology on Monday announced the donation from philanthropists David and Joan Lincoln — the largest in the school's history — which will establish Claremont Lincoln University. In a cooperative effort with the Academy for Jewish Religion, California (AJR, CA) and the Islamic Center of Southern California, it will include a consortium of professional graduate schools for religious education.
The seeds of the project were made public last year with the announcement that the Lincolns pledged $10 million towards what was then called the "University Project." Now the Lincolns, an Arizona couple whose family fortune was built on arc welding and electric motor inventions in the early 1900s, are adding $40 million so that future religious leaders from different faiths have opportunities to study side by side.
"Joan and I are particularly pleased with the idea of creating a multi-faith university that reflects the power and potential of the 'Golden Rule,' which the many faith communities have in common," David Lincoln, a member of the Claremont board of trustees, said in a statement.
"We believe the outcome of this kind of education will be tolerance and respect among religions and the ability to better address global problems where religious cooperation and cooperating are needed to reach solutions and repair the world."
Each participating institution will contribute to the curriculum at Claremont Lincoln, which will offer such graduate programs as interreligious studies, comparative religions, and conflict resolution. The aim is to add other religious traditions in the future.
Students pursuing ordination will continue to receive that training from their home institution, but there will be opportunities to take courses with students of other faiths, officials said.
Claremont Lincoln's programming is slated to begin this fall. It will be a welcome addition for Rabbi Mel Gottlieb, president and dean of AJR, CA, whose students currently have only one world religions course available to them. The academy is a transdenominational educator of rabbis, cantors, and chaplains.
"We felt that in the 21st century … it would behoove them to know about other religions as well because we live in an interconnected world," he said.
The purpose of Lincoln University is to do even more than add depth to the education of future spiritual leaders. It is a recognition that the entire model needs to change, according to the Rev. Jerry D. Campbell, president of Claremont Theological College, which offers clerical training as an ecumenical institution of the United Methodist Church.
"The board of trustees and the faculty were troubled in the fact that a high percentage of the American population associated the idea of religion with conflict," he said. "We decided as an institution that we would try to look at how we might reduce religion as a cause of conflict and kind of reconstruct it as a source of peace and harmony."
He continued: "This is, I think, an experiment the world ought to watch."

So I'm going to Chicago-land next week for a vacation. I'll see a lot of friends and I thought I'd see some sites I never saw when I lived there and revisit some too. I also researched a bunch of apartments I could afford in areas close to friends. Which brings up the idea of moving back to an area where I have friends and like the place and weather better.
My therapist reminded me that when I have repeated thoughts – or any thoughts really – I can decide whether to think about them and give them attention, or not. I'm still wondering if I should move, especially back to Chicago. Hence, I have been looking at apartments in my old area. And maybe I should find a roommate so I wouldn't be living alone.
Pros of Moving: culture and weather I enjoy, better situation for my cat, lots of friends in my life, good care team including excellent hospital, value of independence lived out, not living with family
Pros of Staying: live with supportive mother, partner in healthy behaviors, money available for travel, good psychiatrist and therapist
Cons of Moving: extra cost and stress on mental health of moving, extra cost per month (less of an issue if have a roommate), take care of health alone, daily responsibilities harder cuz alone (unless have roommate, then this is not an issue)
Cons of Staying: living with family, not best place for cat, hate culture and weather, little independence, bad hospitals if needed, few friends
Either way I am taking care of my health and have a good care team, except for a hospital if I stay in Texas. With a roommate in Chicago I would still have some money for travel. With moving I would be living out my value of independence, though I would be starting fresh again which is hard on my mental health (changes are hard!).
What do you think is best with these pros and cons??
In other news, my doctor is confident the Abilify injection I started this month will have a HUGE impact on my mood swings – fewer and less intense. That has been his experience with many, many patients. He said that if I didn't experience success with this treatment, I'd be the first. Yay! There is some hope?

By Attorney Jonathan
Author of "The Rise of Tyranny" and
"Global Censorship of Health Information" and
"Restore The Republic"
October 24, 2016
The recent spate of Wikilinks emails reveal Hillary Clinton and her top aides to harbor contempt for the electorate, who they view as rubes, and harbor a sense of entitlement for themselves, presuming that they are above the law, beyond reproach, and privileged. They are a peculiar brand of elitist criminals: The ordinary rules that govern all other Americans they deem inapplicable to them; they remain unrepentant for violations of the Espionage Act, for conflicts of interest, for derelictions of duty that resulted in the loss of four Americans' lives in Benghazi, and for foreign policy decisions that have sacrificed the lives of Americans and have hastened the arrival of a nuclear Iran, the spread of radical Islam, and the rise of ISIS.
Combine the Wikilinks emails with the evidence supporting the conclusion that the Clintons have abused public office for private gain through influence peddling schemes dating back to their Arkansas days, and we have a recipe for widespread corruption if Hillary becomes the 45th President of the United States.
Bill Clinton famously "sold" the Lincoln bedroom and infamously engaged in illicit affairs with woman after woman from the time he was Attorney General of Arkansas through the time he served as President until the present, even engaging in sexual acts with intern Monica Lewinsky in the White House. Bill Clinton notoriously lied about the Lewinsky affair to the American people and under oath, lost his license for perjuring himself, and suffered a vote of impeachment by the House of Representatives (but was acquitted by the Senate). Hillary Clinton effectively sold access and favors while serving as Secretary of State, helping obtain in excess of $2 billion in contributions to the Clinton Foundation which, itself, is really a Clinton slush fund and not a "charity" (giving but a very small amount of funds received to the needy).
The election of Hillary Clinton brings not only Hillary but also Bill Clinton back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and with them a long and uninterrupted legacy of debauchery and influence peddling more extensive and corrupt than ever before in American history. The Clintons have built riches out of public service, shamelessly selling favors to some of the wealthiest people on earth, including those who are dedicated enemies of the United States. They prove through these actions a love for self to the exclusion of a love for country. To them the instrumentalities of government are but opportunities for private exploitation, to be dangled in front of would be financial supporters to entice them to finance the Clintons themselves. Having aligned the rich and powerful behind them through manipulation of policy and grants of political favors and overt conflicts of interest, they have in a very short time amassed great wealth.
Despite the corruption, many Americans appear now predisposed to put the Clintons back in the White House. This go around, having escaped sanction for Benghazi, the email scandals, the Espionage Act violations, the abuse of public office for private gain, and false testimony before Congress, Hillary Clinton stands poised to attain a position of power so extensive that she may command not just the State Department but the entire executive branch of government to serve the Clintons' private financial interests.
In a new Clinton administration, there will be a constant double standard. The Clintons and those they favor will continue to escape punishment for illegal acts, while the rest of America will not. A Clinton empire is in the works. Unlike prior imperial presidencies where violations of the rule of law were the exception, in this one the rule of law will be so thoroughly traduced that the Founding Fathers' bedrock principle, that America is a nation of laws and not of men, will be replaced by the arbitrary will of the Clintons.

If it bleeds, it leads: That's the implicitly critical cliche about the way news directors at television stations choose the first report in the average newscast. Sometimes, though, outlets that consciously stay away from the goriest stories do so at the peril of their own credibility. Witness the initial items aired during the 10 p.m. newscasts on February 18 by Denver's big three network affiliates: channels 4, 7 and 9. Only one of the trio kicked things off with the surrender in Thornton of Lance Leroy McDermed (pictured), who's been accused of killing a married couple living in an adjacent apartment on February 16. The other pair went with less lethal fare -- but the softer stuff was so dubious from a newsworthiness perspective that the violent item made much more sense in the top spot.
Channel 9, whose late newscast is consistently the highest rated of the group, began with the tale of a student at West Middle School in Centennial, who says he was beaten by a fellow pupil because of his German ancestry. In this day and age, that's unusual, but probably not shocking enough to justify placing it in the main slot even on a slow day -- especially considering some of the other circumstances. Specifically, the assault took place way back on November 30, and the student behind the attack was expelled. Indeed, the only current news hook involves alleged threats from the expelled student's friends that were said to be continuing.
Over at Channel 7, the opening salvo proved just as questionable: a pumped-up controversy involving Colorado Avid Golfer magazine, which pictured golfer Lorena Ochoa as Our Lady of Guadalupe. Reporter Lane Lyon used the amorphous term "some say" in relation to those who were upset by this imagery -- and in this case, the "some" shown on screen consisted of Ricardo Bracho, identified as a magazine subscriber, and Jorge De los Santos, a representative of the Archdiocese of Denver office of Hispanic ministry, who wrote a letter of complaint to the mag. Also heard from was editor Jon Rizzi, who provided a statement apologizing to anyone who was offended.

Talk about a teensy tempest on a tee box. In comparison, Channel 4's decision to start the February 18 newscast with a report about a murder suspect who'd been taken into custody seemed wholly justifiable. When a day's top story isn't stained red, go with it. If it is, well, let it bleed. -- Michael Roberts

We are now open for volume 3 submissions from April 22nd to June 21st!
briars lit is an online literary anthology looking to publish fairy tale inspired fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry, as well as hybrid work. Specifically, we are looking for a queering of classic, modern, and original tales. From the Brothers Grimm to Hans Christian Andersen and beyond, we're looking for work from authors who identify as queer as well as stories told by queer characters.
We find works that both accept and reject the traditional narrative of a "happily ever after" compelling. We are drawn to pieces that work to understand what defines queerness, from gender to sexuality, and work that grapples with the realities of being queer, both in the real world and worlds unlike our own.
We are open to retellings and reimaginings, as well as original tales and meditations on the stories that have had such power over our lives. We are open to reprinting previously published works as long as the rights have reverted back to the author. Starting in summer 2019, our summer volumes are themed, although we will still consider works that do not explicitly fit the theme, and our winter volumes are not themed.
The theme for our third issue is nature. Tell us of your love affair with the ocean or the sky. Describe the soft touch of rain or the silence of snow. Explore the seasons and their cycles—earthworms on sidewalks, sand between your toes, crisp red apples, and ice like shattered glass. We want stories of wild beasts in tangled forests. Of magic steeds and hidden groves. Give us your adventures through the natural world.
briars lit is seeking submissions from both established and emerging writers who are interested in reclaiming queer identities in fairy tales, either classic or their own.

A vehicle-mounted tent is an excellent method for safe, comfortable camping utilizing your vehicle as a base camp. These tents are designed to fit on most vehicles utilizing a rack system. Many factory roof racks will work fine but aftermarket roof racks are typically easier to mount to and a bit more robust.
The tent can be mounted to the standard roof rack on most vehicles (assuming it has crossbars) or onto a truck bed rack system. The key is to make sure that whatever rack you mount the tent to has a Dynamic Weight Capacity of at least the weight of the tent (about 160 lbs). This is the weight that the rack can physically carry while the vehicle is in motion.
When the tent is in use (aka the vehicle is parked), the weight of the tent plus the weight of the occupants is dispersed over the entire frame of the vehicle (assuming it's mounted to roof racks). The weight is also dispersed to the supplied ladder.
Make sure to check your manufacturer's roof rack system ahead of time to ensure it will support the weight of the tent and the occupants.

Cancer vs pain
My friend looked at me increduously. "You have had 12 brain surgeries for the pain." I shook my head. "No. that's not the same. Not the same at all. Your poor friend had cancer."
Is it the same: 12 operations to try and solve my pain, 13 to remove cancer? No. I did not see it. I 'only' have pain. She had cancer. Cancer can kill, pain can only...well..., kill me, even if it is only in the spiritual and life changing, altering, closing off of alternatives, choices, and abilities kind of way.
People know cancer. Chronic pain is, for the most part, unknown. And misunderstood/not understood.
I have a tiny basal cell skin cancer. Caught quickly, it is as close to nothing as anything associated with the word cancer can be. I hurt my thumb, it goes away. Both nothing much in the scheme of things.
I hurt my thumb. It sets off a bodywide pain that does not go away, that gets worse, that can keep me bedridden. This is RSD (CRPS). I get a chasm making, face splitting pain that lasts for only a few seconds. Within 2 weeks it disables me, coming on its own, triggered by any touch, and accompanied by a constant choking murderous pain. It is trigeminal neuralgia. I am diagnosed with an organ, blood, or bone cancer. It may be killing me, literally.
The word goes out for the latter. Jane has cancer. Family comes together, neighbors, local church groups offer to make meals, help take care of you. You are embraced. The cancer community, through wellness centers and other support groups, is there for you.
Jane has constant intractable pain. The word does not go out. Family, friends, neighbors, get tired of Jane refusing to go places. "She says she can't, she has pain." It is tiresome.
A number of years ago I was at lunch with my mother and sister, Sue (pseudonym). There was a decorative lit candle in the middle of the table. The movement and glow of the flame was excruciating to my eye. Nevertheless I was afraid to blow it out, afraid of the response I would get. The pain decided for me. "I need to blow that out." I said. As I did Sue gave me a look, a 'geesh' body gesture. "The light and flickering hurts my eye." "It's perfectly fine and looks nice. I'm going to have the waitress re light it." "Please don't do that" I said. "You just want to make a fuss and get attention." The waitress was summoned and lit the candle again as requested. A few minutes later Sue excused herself from the table. Immediately I blew out the light again. (My mother was quiet throughout not wanting to get involved.) The minute my sister came back to the table she looked at the candle and waved the waitress over again. For once I stood my ground, the pain taking the lead. "Thank you but we do not want to have that relit. In fact, wy don't you remove it from the table?" My sister fumed, the conversation stilted, the atmosphere blackened. What had I done wrong? Nothing. I merely asked that my pain be respected and honored.
My other sister developed cancer. (I was not notified until she was nearing the end of the disease.) Friends took care of her, my brother made sure I knew she stayed at his home while she underwent chemotherapy. The family embraced her.
I was denied, my pain ignored and disbelieved, 12 brain surgeries looked at as 'she must have talked them into it'. June's (pseudonym) cancer was accepted, her needs met as soon and as often as possible.
I was hurt by all this but that is not the point of this post. (It had started out in a different direction but as often happens, somehow it went in a completely new direction.) The difference is: cancer is believed. We hear about it all the time. I think most of us also fear it, and rightfully so. It is a clarion call.
Pain goes away. That is what most of us know from our own experience with it. A pain that continues, and continues, and continues still. It is also a taker of life, in a different way, and people also fear that. Cancer is real. We cannot turn our heads away or bury them in the sand.
We need to do that when it comes to pain. How can one live, exist, if the pain never goes away, when our bodies become the torturer? The only way to ignore that question is to pretend chronic intractable pain does not exist, that we who have it are poseurs, malingerers, liars.
The time has come. We raise money for cancer, all cancer, because at the end of the day cancer is cancer. We also raise money and awareness for pain but mostly for one pain disorder at a time. Arthritis, Lupus, MS, RSD even, now that that is becoming more accepted as a 'real' disease: they each have their own fundraisers. That cannot be done with chronic pain as a whole because each entity is a completely different disorder. None of it comes under one umbrella, except the one called chronic intractable pain. .
Please, do not ignore us or dismiss us. You would not do it if I had cancer. Pain is every bit just as real.

Theresa 111, there are two different sisters in the story -- the one in the restaurant is not the one who has cancer.
To me, your comment illustrates the point of today's post: that people with certain problems are told to "let this go" or more usually "get over it" while people with other problems are embraced.
Now, I may be misinterpreting your comment, but that is how it sounds to me.
Thanks Theresa. I know you are.ReplyDelete

Your article rang so loud and true with me. I too have chronic pain (non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy and trigeminal neuralgia flareups).ReplyDelete
My world has become smaller and smaller and all the while, I struggled with "am I actually disabled because of this pain.
I've always participated in life, but through pain I'm being relegated to a watcher. This is NOT what I wanted my life to be.
The Drs. tell me 'you are disabled, this pain will not go away' and on bad days, I know it's true. But on the better days, I see people in wheelchairs or with cancer and somehow feel 'I'm not worthy of calling myself disabled'.
(I know you understand).
Thank you for this article, I'm going to relate its message as a way to explain my pain. You have hit the nail on the head.
I am so sorry for your pain.
It is a strange thing that we have to fight the pain, and then, often, the world too.
I am glad that this resonated for you. Thank you for letting me know.
I really relate to this article. Since 1983 I have suffered agonizing bone pain (avascular necrosis, or bone death of shoulders, then hips), and the excruciating pain of peripheral neuropathy. I've said since the age of 28 that my body is a torture chamber. And doctors and people in my life have added psychological abuse to it too. I find great strength and peace in reading the Psalms. I just found out I have non-hodgkins lymphoma, and I wouldn't think of doing anything to prolong my life in the pain I'm already in. But what does the medical profession think? That I'm a ninny and not brave for undergoing chemo, instead of seeing that I've suffered 28 years of teeth-grinding pain and there's nothing to cling to. I will never get sympathy from human beings. I turn to the Lord for comfort. He has promised never to forsake me or fail me. God bless and be with you leej. I am so sorry for your unseen and unacknowledged pain. I told one doctor recently that it's better to suffer physical pain than to add psycological abuse to it too by asking for help from people. I don't even try anymore, and I feel a great peace in that. Just letting go. I have added you to my prayer request list, leej.ReplyDelete
Hi Karen, I am glad you found the blog. You are definiately not alone! Unfortunately my website www.womeninpainawareness.ning.com will be closing on August 8 (absent a Miracle) but will then be moving elsewhere so I hope you will check that out. Not a lot of activity right now but wonderfully supportive people who all live with chronic intractable pain, or support someone who does.ReplyDelete
I am not a medical person but do you have a pain nmanagement specialist? SOmetimes they offer things reg docs don't think of (your GP is a perfect example since he missed the growth.)
such as an implnat or implanted medicine pump.
I am glad you have your spiritual belief to help you through. I also understand why you would choose not to undergo chemo. Possibly there is still help for your pain though.
Thank you for putting me on your loist. I apprecaite that very very much.
I hope you will come check out the website. There are folks who care. (Took me a long time to know the truth of that too.)
gentle hugs

"Chronic Pain" syndrome does not exist - and is a ruse to attract attention and/or to excuse the smoking of cannabis and its' extracts.
I have to wonder if some of you are the same person.ReplyDelete
Research has begun to shed light on this: unlike ordinary or acute pain, which is a function of a healthy nervous system, chronic pain resembles a disease, a pathology of the nervous system that produces abnormal changes in the brain and spinal cord. New technology, like functional imaging, which is generating the first portraits of brains in action, is revealing the nature of pain's pathology.
From a UK newspaper:
"Irene Tracey, Nuffield professor of anaesthetic science at Oxford University, said the latest data on chronic pain showing how the brain structure changes and how long-term damage can be done, means I should be defined as a disease.
This would mean the chronic pain would be taken more seriously. " http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7345855/Chronic-pain-is-a-disease-experts-argue.html
If they could they would. I can do consistent reading, writing for about 15 - 20 minutes before I have such severe eye pain that stops me from doing anymore for up to 2 hours.
The same is true foir many others with diseases such as MS, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
Whatever this program was it was wrong or you miheard/understood what they were saying.

What Is the "LoJax" UEFI Rootkit Developed by Russian Hackers?
A rootkit is a particularly nasty type of malware. A "regular" malware infection loads when you enter the operating system. It is still a bad situation, but a decent antivirus should remove the malware and clean up your system.
Conversely, a rootkit installs to your system firmware and allows for the installation of a malicious payload each time you reboot your system.
Security researchers have spotted a new rootkit variant in the wild, named LoJax. What sets this rootkit apart from others? Well, it can infect modern UEFI-based systems, rather than older BIOS-based systems. And that is a problem.
The LoJax UEFI Rootkit
ESET Research published a research paper that details LoJax, a newly discovered rootkit (what is a rootkit?) that successfully re-purposes a commercial software of the same name. (Although the research team christened the malware "LoJax," the genuine software is named "LoJack.")
Adding to the threat, LoJax can survive a complete Windows re-installation and even replacement of the hard drive.
The malware survives by attacking the UEFI firmware boot system. Other rootkits might hide in drivers or boot sectors What Is a Bootkit, and Is Nemesis a Genuine Threat? Hackers continue to find ways to disrupt your system, such as the bootkit. Let's look at what a bootkit is, how the Nemesis variant works, and consider what you can do to stay clear. Read More , depending on their coding and the intent of the attacker. LoJax hooks into the system firmware and re-infects the system before the OS even loads.
As yet, the only known method to completely remove the LoJax malware is flashing new firmware over the suspect system How to Update Your UEFI BIOS in Windows Most PC users go without ever updating their BIOS. If you care for continued stability, however, you should periodically check whether an update is available. We show you how to safely update your UEFI BIOS. Read More . A firmware flash isn't something most users have experience with. While easier than in the past, there is still a significant that flashing a firmware will go wrong, potentially bricking the machine in question.
How Does the LoJax Rootkit Work?
LoJax uses a repackaged version of Absolute Software's LoJack anti-theft software. The original tool is meant to be persistent throughout a system wipe or hard drive replacement so the licensee can track a stolen device. The reasons for the tool burrowing so deep into the computer are fairly legitimate, and LoJack is still a popular anti-theft product for these exact qualities.
Given that, in the US, 97 percent of stolen laptops are never recovered, it's understandable users want extra protection for such an expensive investment.
LoJax uses a kernel driver, RwDrv.sys, to access the BIOS/UEFI settings. The kernel driver is bundled with RWEverything, a legitimate tool used to read and analyze low-level computer settings (bits you normally do not have access to). There were three other tools in the LoJax rootkit infection process:
- The first tool dumps information about the low-level system settings (copied from RWEverything) to a text file. Bypassing system protection against malicious firmware updates requires knowledge of the system.
- The second tool "saves an image of the system firmware to a file by reading the contents of the SPI flash memory." The SPI flash memory hosts the UEFI/BIOS.
- A third tool adds the malicious module to the firmware image then writes it back to the SPI flash memory.
If LoJax realizes that the SPI flash memory is protected, it exploits a known vulnerability (CVE-2014-8273) to access it, then continues and writes the rootkit to memory.
Where Did LoJax Come From?
The ESET Research team believe that LoJax is the work of the infamous Fancy Bear/Sednit/Strontium/APT28 Russian hacking group. The hacking group is responsible for several major attacks in recent years.
LoJax uses the same command and control servers as SedUploader—another Sednit backdoor malware. LoJax also has links and traces of other Sednit malware, including XAgent (another backdoor tool), and XTunnel (a secure network proxy tool).
Additionally, the ESET research found that the malware operators "used different components of the LoJax malware to target a few government organizations in the Balkans as well as Central and Eastern Europe."
LoJax Isn't the First UEFI Rootkit
The news of LoJax certainly caused the security world to sit up and take note. However, it isn't the first UEFI rootkit. The Hacking Team (a malicious group, just in case you were wondering) was using a UEFI/BIOS rootkit back in 2015 to keep a remote-control system agent installed on target systems.
The major difference between The Hacking Team UEFI rootkit and LoJax is the method of delivery. At the time, security researchers thought that The Hacking Team required physical access to a system to install the firmware-level infection. Of course, if someone has direct access to your computer, they can do what they want. Still, the UEFI rootkit is especially nasty.
Is Your System at Risk From LoJax?
Modern UEFI-based systems have several distinct advantages over their older BIOS-based counterparts.
For one, they're newer. New hardware isn't the be all and end all, but it does make many computing tasks easier.
Secondly, UEFI-firmware has a few additional security features, too. Particularly of note is Secure Boot, which only allows programs with a signed digital signature to run.
If this is turned off and you encounter a rootkit, you're going to have a bad time. Secure Boot is a particularly useful tool in the current age of ransomware, too. Check out the following video of Secure Boot dealing with the extremely dangerous NotPetya ransomware:
NotPetya would have encrypted everything on the target system had Secure Boot been turned off.
LoJax is a different kind of beast altogether. Contrary to earlier reports, even Secure Boot cannot stop LoJax. Keeping your UEFI firmware up to date is extremely important. There are some specialized anti-rootkit tools The Complete Malware Removal Guide Malware is everywhere these days, and eradicating malware from your system is a lengthy process, requiring guidance. If you think your computer is infected, this is the guide you need. Read More , too, but it is unclear if they can protect against LoJax.
However, like many threats with this level of capability, your computer is a prime target. Advanced malware predominantly focuses on high-level targets. Furthermore, LoJax has the indications of nation-state threat actor involvement; another strong chance LoJax won't affect you in the short term. That said, malware has a way of filtering out into the world. If cybercriminals spot the successful use of LoJax, it might become more commonplace in regular malware attacks.
As ever, keeping your system up to date is one of the best ways to protect your system.

Elizabeth Esther explains How "To Train Up A Child" Got So Popular in a video.
Meanwhile, Dulce de Leche considers Defiance and the Thought Police in a very important post. Are you punishing your children for obeying but with a defiant attitude? Are you expecting them to obey right away with a convincing smile? If so, you are ordering them to pretend to feel something they don't. You are ordering them to lie and be hypocrites. God does not have a problem with emotional outbursts, but He hates lying and hypocrisy. Dulce also warns,
The child is left with two options: lie convincingly or never question anything internally, not even to understand it better . . . Over years of practice, both options are exceedingly dangerous. You wind up with a compulsive people pleaser who will lie convincingly without qualm or someone who believes everything and never thinks for himself.

Sorry, but with this passage I can't agree, at least until something changes in related game mechanics. You can play as you like in single-player or in a close circle, but in web games everything that is sent in a packet should be comfortably represented to a normal player; otherwise, minor modification in the client to fix it (the server sends graphic tags once and then sends directly unit types, you can in theory overwrite the tags at ease) is an option that makes one who uses it to feel like a cheater and one who does not to feel like a lokh; Iwould not like to be either.
Ah, very good point. Thanks.

Wollongong Heritage & Stories website launched
WISDOM worked with Wollongong City Council to develop a first for Wollongong. An "online museum", called Wollongong Heritage & Stories. It's a website containing a collection of exhibits from various Wollongong museums featuring historical items and stories that have helped shape Wollongong over the past century.
It is organised into 6 categories: Industry, Hard Work & Innovation, Women & Children, Our Environment, Our People, Our Events and Only In Wollongong. Most exhibit are from one of the 12 physical museums located within the Illawarra. It's great to know that these exhibits and stories "live on" and can be shared into the future via the digital world!
The website was launched during Heritage week in the Crown Street Mall. WISDOM is extremely proud to have worked on such a significant project for Wollongong and congratulate Wollongong City Council for taking a leading role in presenting the ares's history online for futures generations and visitors alike.

It was July and we were finally moving into our little place! I already had colors in mind and we already had these new floors put in. They're actually tile floors but look like wood and we were so happy with the color we chose. We chose a color called gray cloud for both the bedroom and living room and the second I could start painting, I did!
We already had a couch from Mike's previous apartment, however the couch was way too big for our new living room so we had to leave the chase part of the couch behind. Also the only way the couch would fit was if we put it this way, and the TV had to go on this wall. It is alright for now as we know this isn't for forever and one day we will be able to use our entire couch.
I bought this area rug on amazon and we had the mirror which we bought from Kirkland awhile back. I picked up some pillows while at TJ Maxx and Home Goods and also that white tray on the table. I thought it was perfect for styling….
Speaking of the table – we got that at At Home… at first we thought it was too big but for now it's okay. We couldn't find a TV stand for a long time but eventually found this white one that went perfectly with our buffet. I made that arrangement in the galvanized vase with the branches and floral pieces in it- all from Hobby Lobby but this has since then moved into our bedroom. And last but not least we found this small end table after searching for what felt like forever! And that's it! Living room is pretty much complete… besides small decor that I've added in as the trips to Home Goods keep on comin'!
Hope you like it!
Every season I'm thinking of changing up a couple of the pillows… here are a couple I added for fall…
Can't wait to buy winter/Christmas pillows!!!
