Q: g_main_loop never returns I am using Gegl to render some output and to create a window and GLib to create an event loop. The problem I am struggling with is that the g_main_loop_run() function never returns (that is when I close the application widow (or hit Alt+F4), the code after it is not reached at all).
A minimal example, that I made up:
#include <gegl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  gegl_init(&argc, &argv);

  GeglNode *gegl = gegl_node_new();
  GeglNode *text = gegl_node_new_child(gegl,
                                       "operation", "gegl:text",
                                       "size", 100.0,
                                       "color", gegl_color_new ("rgb(1.0,1.0,1.0)"),
                                       "string", "Hello",
                                       NULL);
  GeglNode *display = gegl_node_new_child(gegl,
                                          "operation", "gegl:display",
                                          NULL);

  gegl_node_link(text, display);
  gegl_node_process(display);

  GMainLoop *loop = g_main_loop_new(NULL, 0);

  printf("before\n");
  g_main_loop_run(loop);
  // the code from here on never executes
  printf("after\n");

  g_main_loop_unref(loop);

  g_object_unref(gegl);

  gegl_exit();

  return 0;
}

The code from line that says printf("after\n"); and on never executes. Another thing that I observed was that when I used g_timeout_add_seconds() and set up a callback, which called the g_main_loop_quit, then the g_main_loop_run correctly returned and program continued as I would have expected. I also tried to use gtk_main(), but it behaved the same.
I suppose, the problem will be in some setting, that I failed to pass to GMainLoop, but I haven't found anything on Google, or in documentation ...

A: g_main_loop_run(loop); is a blocking call. typically it is run at the end of the application as a main event loop or in a seperate thread. so you add sources at first and do a loop run at the end so it polls on the sources and executes the callback

The Workers' Association of 1860
Trip to Germany and Switzerland
Jules Jürgensen fils
A Heart Filled with Spite and Loathing
1860: The Workers' Association of 1860
Return to Copenhagen.
Is invited to dine with King Frederik VII. HCA stays till 11 pm and reads aloud.
Once again, HCA reads aloud for the Workers' Association [presumably the new one of 1860]; "there were crushing crowds outside but I was able to remain completely calm and read well and was greatly applauded", writes HCA in the almanac. In a letter dated 21st January to Mrs Scavenius at Basnæs Estate (not printed), he writes:
On Monday I read aloud for the Workers' Association, which I am sure Your Grace has read about in [the newspaper] Berlings Tidende; It is surely of immeasurable benefit that several professors and poly-technicians have joined forces to arrange lectures for the working class, 3 times a week. It was then decided to also try giving these people a little poetry, and it turned out to be extremely popular. The hall was completely full, 700 people I think, and many more stood out on the street and certainly were noisy, as they could not get in. They demanded the windows be opened so they could hear me. They understood perfectly what I read aloud and in the end there was such quietness, such attention, that one could have heard a pin dropping on the floor; I do hope and believe that I have achieved something good with this reading of a couple of fairy-tales. Everything is now calm again in here, thank God, and I do not think it was quite as bad as some say. I was not actually out late in the evening and thus did not perceive anything at all".
Start of publication in the newspaper Berlingske Tidende of the series "A Visit to Charles Dickens in the Summer of 1857" (continued on 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 31st January as well as on 1st & 2nd February).
Reads once more for the Workers' Association. In an unpublished letter to Mrs Scavenius at Basnæs Estate, HCA states: "for a fairly over-filled house and a very grateful audience, I read: "The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf"; "The Ugly Duckling" and "She Was Good for Nothing"; this last one brought tears to peoples' eyes".
HCA is one of the hosts of a gala evening held at the Casino theatre on the evening of this day. The profit was to go to the Childrens' Hospital.
HCA has his will certified by the notary public and gives it to Edvard Collin.
Reads aloud once more for the Workers' Association.
The poem "Jylland" (Jutland) is published (with music by Peter Heise) in the magazine Illustreret Tidende.
Reads aloud for the Students' Association.
HCA is a member of the committee for the establishment of a monument for H.C. Ørsted. It is significant for HCA that work on this matter is commenced on his own birthday.
This date also marks the earliest registration in the almanac of the connection with the Melchior family (although the relationship does stem from the mid or late 1850's).
Receives a visit from the German poet Klaus Groth from Kiel.
Receives written confirmation of the increase in his yearly appanage (grant/civil list annuity).
1860: Trip to Germany and Switzerland
Prince Frederik (the later Frederik VIII) seeks out HCA after 9 in the evening, so as to bid him farewell, before his trip abroad.
Travels first to Sorø, where he takes part in a birthday celebration for Ingemann on 28th and remains till 30th.
Travels via Korsør to Flensborg and on to Rendsborg, where he remains from 1st - 8th June. Here a party is given for him by the officers, he reads aloud for the soldiers and is serenaded on the morning of his departure, as well as being cheered by the soldiers. HCA describes these events to Mrs Scavenius of Basnæs in an unpublished letter dated 27th June:
"In Rendsborg I stayed with Captain Lønborg, son-in-law of titular Councillor of State Thiele. One evening I was asked to read, just as I had last winter at the Workers' Association in Copenhagen, for our "soldier boys" here in Rendsborg too; I was pleased to do so. "Tonhalle", which is larger than the small hall at Casino, was hastily decorated with Dannebrog [the Danish flag]; Officers and their wives, non-commissioned officers and their wives and many soldiers, probably 1500 people all together, welcomed me with flowers and cheers! I was deeply moved, did however read well; national songs were played and when I was about to depart on the next morning, the garrison band played in front of the house I was staying in; the train station was decorated with Danish flags, friends escorted me there, the soldiers sang and cheered me. I was so overwhelmed by all this that I, as you probably well understand, broke into tears when I finally departed".
Via Altona to Harburg. Further on through Hildesheim to Göttingen and from there to Eisenach, Meiningen, Bamberg, Nuremberg, Regensburg (outing from here on 18th to King Ludwig's marble temple Walhalla). Spends time in Regensburg with the painter Wilhelm von Kaulbach, who is also visiting the town. At a social gathering, where Kaulbach is present, HCA reads aloud "Noget" (Something) and "Hjertesorg" (Heartache), and Kaulbach exclaims:
"What a poet you are, always new and greater, and what a lecture! He asked me to read "Englen" [The Angel], which he had painted and would soon be released in print. I was to receive a copy then" (the diary, 16th June).
Arrival in Munich, where he obtains copies of his latest German release, Aus Herz und Welt (From The Heart and The World). Is received in audience by the Queen of Bavaria. Socialises with Kaulbach, amongst others.
30th June - 3rd July
Outing to Oberammergau to the passion plays.
"The whole drama was like a church service, where the sermon is not only heard but also seen as it is brought to life. Most likely, everyone left feeling replenished, filled by that loving soul who sacrificed himself for future generations" (from the continuation of Mit Livs Eventyr (The Fairy Tale of My Life)).
In Oberammergau, the actor Lauritz Eckardt and the ballet-dancer Harald Scharff (both from the Royal Theatre) join the party. HCA also sees them in Munich.
3rd - 11th July
In Munich once again. Here he sees the opera Tannhäuser. Comments on this in the diary on 8th: "the superb music filled me".
Continues to Switzerland (via Lindau and Richterschwyl to Brunnen).
1860: Jules Jürgensen fils
14th - 28th July
In Brunnen.
From Brunnen via Luzern and Biel to Le Locle, where he stays until 13th August with the watchmaker Jules Jürgensen (son of the Danish watchmaker Urban Jürgensen). At this time Jules Jürgensen is still living in the same house which his uncle, J. Fr. Houriet and his family, had lived in, and where HCA had been a guest for the first time in 1833.
The oldest son of Jürgensen, Jules, a watchmaker like his father, translates some of HCA's fairy-tales into French and during his stay there, HCA helps with the translation:
"The few French translations of my work which had been made at that time were not considered very good, and my young friend therefore wanted to try doing a better job. And indeed work on a French translation was commenced during my stay at Locle. To my surprise I saw and learned how rich in expressions of feelings and moods the Danish language is, compared to the French; the latter has often only a single word where we have a whole spectre. I would call the French language plastic in nature, it resembles the art of sculpture, where everything is defined, clear and rounded, while our mother-tongue has a richness of colour, a diversity of expression, to depict the various moods. I was pleased with the richness of my mother-tongue; how soft and sonorous it is, when spoken how it ought to be!" (In the continuation of Mit Livs Eventyr (The Fairy Tale of My Life).
By stagecoach to Yverdon and from there by train from Neufchatel to Lausanne and by wagon from here to Ouchy. Continues on 17th by steamship to Vevay and Montreux (arriving 18th). Lodges a little below Montreux in Vernex. Outings on foot in the surrounding area. Returns to Lausanne on 25th and carries on to Geneva on 26th.
The death of Johan Ludvig Heiberg.
26th August - 15th September
In Geneva. At this time, HCA vacillates between feeling elated and depressed and is sometimes afflicted with anxiety and thoughts of suicide. Fears becoming insane. The mood does however lighten, so the last week of the stay in Geneva turns out well ("Basically I am perfectly well, the pleasure is disturbed only by myself", the diary, 7th). During the stay here he receives the first texts translated by Jules Jürgensen fils and socialises with Henri Blanvallet, who wishes to translate Kun en Spillemand (Only a Fiddler) and De to Baronesser (The Two Baronesses) into French.
Meets M.A. Goldschmidt, who is on his way from London to Florence.
Is introduced to Hungarian literature when he meets K.M. Kertbeny, translator of Petöfi. Has mixed feelings about Kertbeny. His suspicions are later confirmed.
People wish to pay tribute to HCA, as they have read in Das Märchen meines Lebens ohne Dichtung (The True Story of My Life) that today is the anniversary of his arrival in Copenhagen. He does note in the almanac, however, that the anniversary is in fact the 6th.
16th - 21st September
Is in Basel, where he socialises especially with the painter G.A. Amberger and his family. Is sought out here by Charlotte Kestner junior, daughter of the Lotte Kestner on whom Werther's Lotte is based.
Amberger travels with HCA to Karlsruhe and is the guest of HCA here. Both continue on 24th to Stuttgart, where they stay with a publisher-bookseller by the name of Hoffmann.
Via Augsburg to Munich, where he stays until 9th. Whilst here he is summoned to King Max, also dining here, (before the dinner there is a meeting for German historians. HCA thus meets Leopold v. Ranke of Berlin, who reads aloud from his latest work on English history).
1860: A Heart Filled with Spite and Loathing
Via Nuremberg to Leipzig (arrival on 11th). Here he visits the publishers Wiedemann and Lorck. Hears about strong German feelings of hostility towards Denmark. Continues to Dresden on 13th.
13th October - 4th November
In Dresden. Some unpleasantness is experienced due to a letter from Lorck to Kertbeny. HCA is once again in a deep personal crisis. Socialises once more with Serres, amongst other of his old friends. Visits Clara Schumann. Through her he also gets to know the violinist Joseph Joachim, and sees him and Clara together at concerts. Also meets the Norwegian poet Andreas Munch and socialises quite a bit with him. Is informed that his fairy-tales are read in the schools in Saxony. Upon invitation he visits King Johann of Saxony on 3rd and reads fairy-tales aloud.
Edvard Collin suggests in a letter to HCA of this date that he [EC] place 1.000 rdl. of his money at 5% (1% more than the bank rate), "on loan to a mutual acquaintance who is reliable enough". HCA accepts. Later, it transpires that this mutual acquaintance is Henrik Stampe.
Clara Heinke tries to persuade HCA to visit her in Breslau, but HCA is not at all inclined to do so.
To Berlin (only 1 day is spent here, during which he visits Meyerbeer the composer and sees Verdi's Rigoletto, which he finds very interesting). Continues via Hamburg, Neumünster, Rendsborg, Haderslev, then by ship to Assens, arriving in Odense on 9th.
"The town spruced up, but not as interesting as in the old days. The church stands detached but Beldenak's building is gone. The pharmacy is neatly drab, many drab new boxes... In solitude I sat at Postgaarden [a restaurant], alone in my childhood town, while abroad I am surrounded by friends and admirers",
(the diary, 9th).
Amongst others, he spends time with Julius Gerson ("A Little Pixie Left"), who is the editor of the newspaper Fyens Stiftstidende. Sees that the house of his parents has been rebuilt, with an extra floor on top, and that many changes have occurred. Continues by stagecoach to Nyborg on 10th and from there by steamship to Korsør.
10th - 17th November
At Basnæs Estate. Recognises himself in a book by E.M. Oettinger about the courts. Feels he is "maliciously" described and sees in the paper that W.I. Karup, a man of letters, delivers a lecture for the people regarding HCA's life. In this lecture he is "treated spitefully and slandered".
"On this journey I have thrown myself to sea, so to speak, and let myself be swept along by the waves. They sweep me back to my own shore once again. Why! To be ridiculed there or to crush the head against a rock. Even if it were burning, one must walk the earth... My heart is filled with spite and loathing." (The diary, 12th).
At Holsteinborg Castle. Is given a room facing the castle chapel, from which he can hear the psalms being sung and snippets from the words spoken by the priest. Notes in the diary on 20th: "Dear God, let my mind too be lightened in Christianity and God!"
Goes to Sorø, where he stays with the Ingemanns. Visits the composer Peter Heise and meets the sculptor H.V. Bissen at his home. Ingemann reads the start of his memoirs for HCA.
Back in Copenhagen, where he decides to stay at Hotel d'Angleterre. Ida Koch (nèe Wulff, daughter of P.F. Wulff and the sister of Jette) invites him to dine with her on Fridays (formerly his regular day with the Ørsted family). Looks at new rooms but receives two on the ground floor of the hotel,
"where I now live, like in a lamp on the wall, as I have two rooms on the ground floor here on the corner of Kongens Nytorv and Østergade. But it's far too busy here, with a constant drone and a rushing along, also driving in the night. Unbearable in the long run" (in unpublished letter dated 10th December to Mrs Scavenius of Basnæs Estate).
Travels from Copenhagen to Sorø and continues on 20th to Basnæs Estate:
"I spent Christmas Eve at Basnæs, where the Christmas tree was lit, not just one for the house guests, but also one for the poor children of the estate; their tree stood just as richly decorated and shining bright as ours. Mrs Scavenius had decorated it herself and lit every candle, and I had cut and glued the figures which hung on the branches. The tables around it were set and laden with Christmas presents which the poor mothers were especially looking forward to; linsey-woolsey for skirts, linen for shifts and many other useful items. The poor were treated to a good meal and had a pleasant evening. We had several. The snow drifted up, the sleigh bells rang, the wild swans sang out on the beach. It was wonderful outdoors, it was pleasant indoors; the young people danced until the early hours. From neighbouring houses and from far away relatives and friends had been invited".
Amongst the guests on Christmas Eve was also Carl Bernhard, who arrives with the family from Borreby Estate, where he is spending Christmas:
"His fresh, lively depictions and the lifelike, characteristically Danish lends him significance as a writer. Moreover, he was amiable, helpful and dedicated; it was hard to believe he was in his sixties, so youthful were his looks. He was amongst those dancing, he was amongst those conversing, and towards me he was open, sincere, laughing at the pettiness of the world, rejoicing in all the blessed which is also to be found" (from the continuation of Mit Livs Eventyr (The Fairy Tale of My Life)).

Judging From The Trailer, The House With A Clock In Its Walls Is Eli Roth's Best Film
We've said it before and we'll say it again. Eli Roth's The House With A Clock In Its Walls looks like it is shaping up to be something special, at least as far as the director is concerned. Known for his more adult horror films, Roth seems to have found a new niche with the Spielbergian children's classic. Perhaps he missed his calling all along?
In The House With A Clock In Its Walls, Cate Blanchett and Jack Black are witches. Based on the spine-tingling book by John Bellairs, and produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, the film looks as if it is going to be a great one to go and watch with the family. Cross your fingers that nobody gets eaten by the end of the film.
The magical adventure tells the spine-tingling tale of 10-year-old Lewis (Owen Vaccaro) who goes to live with his uncle in a creaky old house with a mysterious tick-tocking heart. But his new town's sleepy façade jolts to life with a secret world of warlocks and witches when Lewis accidentally awakens the dead.
Kyle MacLachlan, Colleen Camp, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Vanessa Anne Williams, Lorenza Izzo and Sunny Suljic co-star.
The House With A Clock In Its Walls has a 5th October release date.

This month at the Trumpeter Society I hosted a game of Troops, Weapons and Tactics. We played a scenario from the Red Devils Of The Orne book from Skirmish Campaigns. It is the "sequel" to a scenario I hosted two months ago, also with TW&T as the rules. I find I'm becoming more comfortable with these rules as I play them more, and the more comfortable I become the more I enjoy them. The fog-of-war and command-and-control aspects are especially well done, and they make for an unpredictable, chaotic, and very fun set of rules.
A newly-arrived German squad advances into cover.
Two captured French tanks advance cautiously down the road towards the gatehouse.
These troopers apparently like the cover they have in this house, because I haven't been able to make them move from it!
A German halftrack with infantry gun in tow heads cross-country down the German left flank to cover the pillbox there.
Traffic jam in the village! One of the tanks got stuck in the alley as the German troops crossing the road were pinned down by mortar fire.
A view from the German deployment area, over a tank and some troops, looking at the Para defenders in the gatehouse.
A German MG team sets up behind a fence to harass the enemy mortar.
The remains of the German HQ team jump over a hedge and close-assault a Canadian bren gunner, the only survivor of the Allied MG team that was rousted out of a house by tank fire.
A German MG team that tried to jump the hedge and close assault the Canadian mortar position, only to get caught in the open and suffer some murderous fire.
The Canadian HQ team, handing out the murderous fire.
The German tanks slowly advance towards the gatehouse. Moments after this photo was taken, one of the tanks was knocked out by the Paras, manning a captured Pak-40 anti-tank gun.
The game ended when we ran out of time at the end of the night, with the Paras still in control of the key building at their end of the table. This is a really fun scenario - things look very grim for the Paras at the start, as they are faced with an overwhelming number of the enemy, who has tanks and an infantry gun in support. However, they do have the advantage of elite status, more dummy blinds and good defensive positions, and thus the Germans are forced to move with some caution or risk getting mown down.
Boy your table looked great Friday night! The lads seemed to be having an excellent time.
Sweet write-up, looking forward to more.
a really nice AAR, thanks for sharing!


There's a lot of different Cub models. Are you looking for motors for the FT Simple Cub or something else?
So you are trying to figure out what type of motor you need to upgrade your carbon cub correct?
So this plane correct? If so flitetest's new radial 2218 with a 9x6 or 10x4.5 would do the trick, might be tricky mounting the motor though. @DamoRC has done some testing with that motor so he'll tell you if it'll work .
Good luck with your modifications .
It looks like it uses a 480 960kv motor, you can step up the KV to 11-1200 and spin a prop with less pitch faster, which will up your top speed. The motor mount is a plastic plate so shouldn't be too hard to change the motor out, the main thing to watch out for will be greater power consumption which could cook your ESC, depends on how much extra headroom there is in the stock one.
The FT 2218 would definitely give it some oomph or you could try the Emax c-pack 2215. Either one will increase performance on this plane. You will need to replace the ESC also as the stock unit is an 18A unit. A 30A replacement would cover your needs for the FT 2218 Radial or EMax 2215. Here are the test data for the FT radial.
Pop into electric aircraft and post there, button you want is this one for a new thread.
If nobody has done it you can be first, then tell us what happened.

Documentary series explores history of Japanese video game...
Documentary series explores history of Japanese video game music, feat. Flying Lotus, Dizzee Rascal, Just Blaze and more
Diggin' In The Carts premieres September 4.
Leave it to the Red Bull Music Academy to take everyone to school. RBMA has announced a six-episode documentary series called Diggin' In The Carts that tells the stories of the men and women behind Japan's greatest musical export: video game music, from the 8-bit era to today.
"We want to show that these Japanese men and women had an incredible influence on the global culture and on some of the biggest names in modern music," says series creator Nick Dwyer. The series comes in advance of this year's RBMA takeover of Tokyo.
The series features Japanese composers Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka (Tetris, Metroid), Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage), and Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy) alongside some of the underground heroes influenced by them: Flying Lotus, Dizzee Rascal, Just Blaze, Joker, Fatima Al Qadiri, Kode9, Havoc, J-Rocc and Ikonika.
Watch a trailer below; the first episode will debut on September 4. Earlier this year, FACT had video game obsessive Ryan Hemsworth interview Donkey Kong composer David Wise.

El arte de la cerámica amazónica
Log in or register to download
Document main title
Gallagher de Parks, Mercedes, 1883-
ICAA Record ID
In this article, the essayist and art critic Mercedes Gallagher de Parks discusses the pottery produced in the Amazon region of Peru, noting the wide variety of pieces and their surprising aesthetic. Very little is known about this pottery other than what the painter and writer Arturo Jiménez Borja reported in his article about the ethnographic material shown at the Exposición Amazónica (Lima, 1943). Gallagher, however, thinks it should be emancipated from its ethnographic niche, and emphasizes its creative autonomy. She mentions that prior to the Exposición Amazónica, pottery from the Amazon jungle had only ever been exhibited at the Peña de Pancho Fierro and at the San Agustín convent. Gallagher compares the pottery from the Amazon to that from Nazca, which is similar with regard to production methods, linear design, and colors. The two styles differ mainly in terms of the multicolored elements used by Amazonian potters. She pays particular attention to the highly decorative pieces of the Chama and Conibo ethnic groups whose ivory-colored backgrounds are set off by imaginative red and black designs.
The author of this article, Mercedes Gallagher, wrote reviews about Peruvian art and music, which she contributed to publications such as Mundial, Variedades, Social, Mercurio Peruano, and La Prensa. She also published important essays in which she analyzed different aspects of art, such as "Shadows on the Road" (1935); "La realidad y el arte. Estudio de estética moderna" (1937); "La escultura popular y costumbrista en piedra de Huamanga" (1942); and "La mentira Azul" (a compilation of her essays from 1948). Her critical opposition to indigenism is clear in several of her articles, this one in particular: "Sobre el problema indigenista en nuestra cultura" (Mercurio Peruano, Lima, October 1939). Gallagher acknowledged the need for and legitimacy of the movement to recognize the indigenous population, but criticized its use of the idea as the basis for a group ideology and a way to promote racial division in the country. She posited that Peru consists of three components, which must all complement each other: Aryan-Western civilization, Spanish cultural tradition, and the indigenous spiritual awareness. In Gallagher's opinion, José Sabogal was one of the most authentic Indigenists, although she nonetheless objects to certain ideological aspects of his work. She was very interested in Andean art, which she approached by analyzing the essential and aesthetic values of individual works, instead of looking at them from the more usual ethnographic perspective. Two representative texts that take this approach are: "La escultura popular y costumbrista en piedra de Huamanga" (1942), and this article about Amazonian pottery. They both address the conflicted artistic relationship between "cultured art" and "popular or traditional art," therefore foreshadowing the debate that flared up decades later over the decision to award the Premio Nacional de Cultura (for the 1973–74 period) to the altarpiece artist from the Andean region Joaquín López Antay (1897–1981).

Among the methods used are discourse analysis, evaluations and policy assessments as well as many others. Transdisciplinary research is very important for the FFU.
Please click on the methods in the left menu to view the pertaining projects. A list of all projects is available at "All Projects" to give you an overview.
Comparatistics
International comparison is one of the most important methods of the empirical-analytical environmental policy analysis. Based on a systematic comparative view on different national environmental policies it is possible to make general statements about the conditions for success as well as the restrictions of environmental policies. Also, this view allows to understand the causal mechanisms of change in national environmental policy. Since its foundation in 1986, comparative studies about environmental policies in industrialized countries are one of the central research topics of the FFU. Recently, the comparison of newly industrializing countries, developing countries and sub-national entities like cities or communes is becoming more and more important.
Extensive data bases about intrastate diffusion and convergency of environmental policies or local climate politics are just one example for the work of the FFU. In addition, there are comparative studies about the efficiency of national, regional and local climate and sustainability programs, case studies of environmental or climate policies in model communities as well as investigations into the relationship between decision makers on different levels.
Employees of the FF are responsible for teaching "Comparative Analysis of Political Systems" in the Bachelor's and Master's programs of the Institute for Political Sciences (OSI).

REALISE FORUM (Renewable Energy and Liberalisation in Selected Electricity markets–Forum) attempted to establish a basis for coherence for national renewables policies in the view of a possible harmonisation or coordination of financing mechanisms and support scheme for RES-E.
Study of Sustainable Development Initiatives and Strategies (Rioplus)
The GTZ-pilot project "Environmental Policy and the Promotion of Strategy Processes for Sustainable Development" (Rioplus) aimed at delivering policy advice regarding the development and implementation of sustainable development strategies.
At the FFU we work in different projects with a discourse analysis approach. The objective of discourse analysis is to analyse how different actors perceive and conceptualise ('frame') complex issues, for example climate change, the use of natural resources or the Euro crises. Discourse analysis is a method to systemise debates, this means, to characterise the positions of the different actors and to identify the different lines of argument ('discourses').
Discourses contain views on the nature of and causalities that lead to a problem; on adequate policy goals, indicators and instruments; and whose duty it is to eliminate the problem (addressees).To enforce one discourse over another discourse – the so called, "framing" of a problem – is hence a political act, which is closely connected to the interests of the actors. In other words, in a discourse analysis we research the societal and political effects of discourses, i.e. the effects of power from discourses.
Resource Policy - PolRess
The project aims at supporting and stimulating the emerging political and social debate on resource policies from a political science, legal and economic perspective. For this purpose the discussion on targets and indicators will be analyzed and options identified for selecting, operationalizing and prioritizing targets on resource policy.
Rio World Summit on Sustainable Development 2012 - Governance for a Green Economy
In the light of the upcoming Rio 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), the study explores the stances of European civil society actors on issues related to the Green Economy as part of Sustainable Development.
The evaluation analysis method examines the systematic and transparent achievement of objects in political and administrative actions actions. Side effects are recorded and evaluated.
We evaluate both planned (ex-ante evaluation) and already implemented measures (ex-post evaluation) in the areas of environment, climate and sustainability policy in terms of their potential or actually achieved effects.
Based on our evaluation, we develop suggestions for improving the design or implementation mechanisms of the analyzed policies.
Peer Review of the Evaluation of the International Climate Initiative of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety
The IKI is active in three fields: promoting climate-friendly economies, fostering measures to adapt to the effects of climate change and ensuring the conservation and sustainable use of natural carbon reservoirs, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
Evaluation of the National Climate Initiative of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (NKI-Evaluation)
The National Climate Initiative (NKI) addresses consumers, industry and municipalities as well as social and cultural establishments. The Initiative supports programmes and provides backing for clusters of comparable projects and individual specific projects.
Peer Challenger Report - Facilitating the Review of German Sustainability Policies
The aim of the Peer Challenger Report is to review the actual implementation of Germany's sustainability goals and to improve the governance approaches of public and private actors regarding sustainable development.
Evaluating the Austrian Sustainable Development Strategy
The Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management ("Life Ministry") appointed an interdisciplinary group of independent experts to evaluate implementation activities under the Austrian Sustainability Strategy.
Foresight/Scenarios
Policy makers are confronted with new and extraordinary developments caused by complex economical, ecological and societal changes which might accelerate even more in the next years. "Foresight" is an umbrella term for different methodological approaches to prepare organisations in time for potential developments in the future or new, unknown challenges in the present. It aims at identifying risks and possibilities as early as possible to maintain a sphere of influence especially for environmental policies. Systematic, multi-disciplinary research and analysis processes with different methods are central for Foresight. Scenarios in this context are mostly quantitative, model-supported approaches. They are typical instruments used in Futurology. Supposed frame conditions and different options for actions like "business as usual", compared to pro-active actions, are the starting points. From here, several prospective variants of developing ecological processes or societal systems emerge. It is important to note that Foresight today is not only about probable trends in the future, but also about trend reversals, "weak signals" and occuring or growing topics.
Horizon Scanning and Trend Monitoring as an Instrument of Environmental Policies for Strategic Early Warning and Effective Policy Advice
The main reasons for the construction of a Horizon Scanning System are the apparent acceleration of ecological processes on the one hand and socio-economic changes on the other hand. For politicians, this raises the question of whether reactive breathlessness can be countered by earlier problem solving.
Sustainable Germany 2030 to 2050 – How do we want to live in the future? Concepts and communication processes for a "Grand Design" of the German Sustainability Strategy from an environmental policy perspective
The project aims at expanding the period of time covered by Germany's Sustainability Strategy to the year 2030 and at sketching out the development until 2050. To do this, major issue areas and challenges need to be identified, and strategies and sub-targets for their implementation have to be developed.
The Basic Points of a Ecologically Sustainable Social Concept as a Foundation for Environmental Innovations and Transformation Processes
Currently, an environmentally recyclable concept of a socio-ecological, sustainable growth and social model is missing, which would be a reference point for future economic and social prosperity and corresponding transformation processes. With this background, the main point of this study is the technical analysis and discussion of the following aspects:
1) theoretical and practical approaches of ecological and sustainable-oriented social and economic models – based on a national or macro-economic view.
2) conceptual and empirical reform efforts for the measurement of social welfare and economic prosperity.
Scenarios for an integrated sustainable development policy using the example of the Sustainable City 2030
The project "Scenarios for an integrated sustainable development policy using the example of the Sustainable City 2030" contributes to the development of strategies for the design of sustainable urban living environments by applying empirically based and participative scenario methods.
Creating Sustainable Growth in Europe. Resource Productivity, Environmental Tax Reform and Sustainable Growth in Europe
The effects of environmental tax reforms on economic growth, economic competitiveness, employment, environmental quality and quality of life are at the heart of this programme.
Policy impact assessment is a research method to support the development of new policies, instruments and measures. As a formalized process for knowledge-based (see also: knowledge-based environmental policy) of Impact Assessment of policy development in the European Union, it has been introduced in all OECD countries and beyond.
The impact assessment process usually follows a series of standardized steps: first, the policy problem is to be addressed and identified; then targets are defined and options are identified which may be appropriate to achieve these goals.
These options are then analyzed and compared in terms of their contribution to achieving the objective and their likely impact on the economic, environmental and social issues. The goal is not only to detect unintended effects, but also to capture the possible side effects and their adverse effects on environment and society. On this basis, the policy options are compared and identified for possible synergies and trade-offs with other policy objectives and flanking measures to minimize adverse effects. In this way a foundation is to be provided for the assessment of policy options that are best suited to achieve the regulatory target and to develop the smallest possible unwanted side effects.
The FFU deals with the processes and tools of impact assessment of policy in various jurisdictions and in the comparative perspective. A special focus is given to the consideration and integration of sustainability aspects into policy impact assessment.
In addition, tools and methods are being developed that can be used to carry out policy impact assessments. In this way, we combine basic research on processes, methods and tools with their practical application in the impact assessment.

The project will develop methodological approaches towards analyzing distributional effects of environmental policies that considers qualitative as well as quantitative income and employment effects.
Coherence check of environmental policy goals and measures for the purpose of environmental reporting
It is the aim of the study to analyze actions as well as quality goals of national and European sustainability policies with regard to their compatibility with the overarching guiding principles of European environmental programs. In this way the project aims at improving governance and steering among them.
Consideration of Sustainability Aspects in Policy Impact Assessment
The Environmental Policy Research Centre gives an overview on the recent developments in sustainability impact assessment (SIA). The study looks at innovations in SIA processes within the European Commission and five European countries.
Tools for Impact Assessment in the field of environmental protection – Development of an EIA tool in Poland
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is already a standardised and institutionalised framework, which has been in place for decades and has been integrated in legislation and regulation for many years. However, EIA has also been thoroughly criticized for being a marginal and disconnected procedure with no real influence on decision-making processes.
Improving the Effectiveness of Regulatory Impact Assessment in Ensuring Policy Coherence in the Design and Implementation of Regulatory and Environmental Policy
The aim of this project is to identify means for improving the effectiveness of RIA in enhancing policy coherence in the design and implementation of regulatory and environmental policy.

The aim of the project is to improve the operational relevance and use of IA tools by uniting the multi-disciplinary competences of large European institutes in the field of IA tools.
Sustainability Assessment within Regulatory Impact Assessment
On behalf of the Bertelsmann Foundation the Environmental Policy Research Centre examined options for the implementation of a sustainability impact assessment within the German legislative process.
Co-ordination Action for Innovation in Life-Cycle Analysis for Sustainability (CALCAS
One important analytical tool among different Life-Cycle Approaches is Life Cycle Assessment as described and standardised by ISO.
I.Q. Tools - Indicators and Quantitative Tools for Sustainable Development
The I.Q.Tools project developed an internet-based software designed to support the process of Impact Assessment within the European Commission.
POINT 3 D: Integration of Sustainability Targets into Sectoral Policies
The proposed research project aimed at developing a contribution for an implementable consideration of the requirements of sustainable development in new policy initiatives of the different branches of administration.
Indicator Development
Indicators are used to show ecological or societal phenomenons that are not directly visible in a quantitative form. They simplify reality and are thus social constructs, despite their statistical and scientific appearance. Normally it is not about individual indicators but about sets of indicators or aggregated ratios that are summarised into an index. Indicators are a central part of periodic, systematic and all-embracing coverage in modern societies. This coverage is used to inform political decision makers. It is also a basis for further research studies and can be used to inform the public about processes of change in the quality of the environment, the socio-economic development or political change. Research at the FFU using indicators concerns mostly three areas:
1) Research and analysis of existing indicator systems, their performance and their practical use;
2) (Co-)Development of indicators, mainly in the context of sustainability strategies on the national level;
3) Use of indicators combined with other political instruments like Impact Assessment to perform an economical, ecological or societal impact assessment of planned measures or laws.

Stakeholder Dialogues/Platforms
There are many dialogues going between different stakeholders. The "Hochschultage" of the Sustain It Initiative are a good example for such stakeholder dialoges. You can find the documentation of the Hochschultage here:
HST 2011
Lead poisoning in White-tailed Sea Eagles: Communication of Scientific Results as a Fundament for Societal Opinion Making
The project aims to analyse how stakeholders deal with the problem, and which kinds of barriers and channels do exist when behavior modification is suggested.
Transdisciplinary Research
Currently, there are no projects in this category.
Scientific expertise is now regarded as an important resource in order to develop solutions to societal problems. They should inform political actors and the public about associated problems, develop solutions and highlight areas of action to be taken. A science which aims to be relevant in society, therefore must make these social problems their starting point.
Whereas traditional research disciplines concentrated on the (intra-disciplinary) specialization of knowledge, transdisciplinary research exceeded limits. These are not only disciplinary boundarieswithin science, but also the boundaries between science and society.The interplay of socio-political and scientific analytical decision-making and the problem solving processes is an essential characteristic of transdisciplinary research.
The issues which are being discussed here are directed to a sustainable society. Firstly, they apply to the processes, institutions and structures which determine the current situation of problems and the further development of influence ('system knowledge'), secondly, the knowledge about options for a sustainable society ('target knowledge'), and as well the know-how on how these goals can be achieved ('transformation knowledge').
Research which has environmental and social dimensions as the starting point, and its changes as an aim, can thus make a direct contribution towards a sustainable society. This environmental policy analysis is however not only transdisciplinary oriented, but is also the purpose of fundamental research. The FFU has on the one hand the requirement for the implementation of principles for transdisciplinary research in research projects, and on the other hand participates also in the development of these principles and approaches.
2016 Berlin Conference on Global Environmental Change: Transformative Global Climate Governance "après Paris"

Nurse Realizes Her Colleague Is The Preemie Baby She Cared For 28 Years Ago
"His mother asked him to look for nurse Vilma in the NICU, but he told his mom that I had probably retired by now."
Heather Cichowski @heatherceditor
Brandon Seminatore was born at 29 weeks on April 19, 1990 weighing just 2 pounds 6 ounces. He stayed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif. He required an incubator to keep warm and was hooked up to a ventilator to help him breathe. During his stay, his primary care nurse was Vilma Wong.
Growing up, Seminatore had heard from his parents about his stay in the NICU and the nurse that cared for him. He had seen photos of himself in the hospital, but he never expected he would meet Wong.
Things came full circle when the now 28-year-old was working as a second-year pediatric resident at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford.
A few weeks ago, Seminatore happened to be put on the same team as Wong, and she recognized his name.
"I asked who he was and his name and the last name sounded very familiar. I kept asking where he was from and he told me that he was from San Jose, California, and that, as a matter of fact, he was a premature baby born at our hospital," recalls Wong in a statement from the hospital. "I then got very suspicious because I remember being the primary nurse to a baby with the same last name."
"To confirm, I asked him if his dad was a police officer and there was a big silence and then he asked me if I was Vilma. I said yes."
The hospital shared the heartwarming reunion story on its Facebook page along with the photos of Wong and Seminatore from almost three decades ago and from today.
Wong revealed that Seminatore's mom did suggest her son look for her at the hospital. "His mother asked him to look for nurse Vilma in the NICU, but he told his mom that I had probably retired by now."
In fact, Wong's first nursing job was at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford and she has worked there ever since. She has been a Registered Nurse in the NICU for 32 years.
"I was in shock initially but overjoyed to know that I took care of him almost 30 years ago, and now he's a pediatric resident to the same population he was part of when he was born," said Wong.
After the reunion, Seminatore's parents texted him the photo of him and Wong 28 years ago.
"Meeting Vilma was a surreal experience. I never expected to meet a provider who took care of me when I was a baby. When Vilma recognized my name, I remembered the photos my parents had shown me and I truly sunk in that I was one of these babies."
"I've come full-circle and I'm taking care of babies with the nurse that took care of me."
"Meeting Vilma showed me the dedication and love she has for her career," he stated. "She cares deeply for her patients, to the point that she was able to remember a patient's name almost three decades later. Not all of us will get the chance to see our patients grow up, and I was so happy to be able to share that moment with her."
Seminatore is completing a Child Neurology Residency at Stanford University. He continued, "As a doctor, I reflected on the importance of the work I do. We all try to give our patients the best chance to grow up happy and healthy. This story is for families with children who have had a rough start in life. I want to give them hope."

I am excited to announce that the St. Louis Contractor Referral Network has grown to over 1,400 members since it was formed about a year ago. At its inception, this Group was intended to serve as a forum for people in the greater St. Louis construction industry to network, gain and give referrals and gain valuable industry related information. So how have we done?
In the last year, SLCRN has put on three tremendous networking events, which were attended by over 150 people each. Each of the events featured an area political, construction or economic leader. More recently, people have begun getting together in other capacities for happy hours, etc. In addition to this, the Discussion Page has served as a forum for Group members to promote other networking events.
The Discussion Page has been filled with people looking for certain contractors, trades or material suppliers. In addition to this, many jobs have been posted. Companies have gained referrals and individuals have found employment as a result of these postings.
I have tried to contribute a number of articles on legal topics relevant to those in the industry. Others have done this on related topics. There have also been many helpful news articles and informative discussions posted. All of this has led to the exchange of valuable and timely industry releated information.
Based on the foreoing, I am certain that being a member of SLCRN has been worth the cost of membership (which is free). I want to encourage you, as members of the Group, to invite your industry connections to join.
You can easily send invitations to your St.Louis area construction connections by going to the main page for the group. At the upper right hand of the screen it says "Forward this Group". If you click this tab, it allows you to forward an invitation to join the group to people in your connections. You have to click the "In" icon and then select which connnections to send it to. You can also customize the message, which I would stronly recommend. You can also send an invitation to people who are not on LInkedIn by adding their e-mail address on the forward this group section.
If you have questions about the foregoing, please let me know.

During EWA's National Conference in Boston last week, Mary C. Murphy, an associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Indiana University and a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the behavioral sciences at Stanford University, described how addressing psychological roadblocks could lead to higher graduation rates — a technique that could potentially be applied to help tens of thousands of college students across hundreds of campuses.
Certainly, colleges could add resources such as long-term mentoring or study programs to help students with these challenges. But Murphy said that instead of adding new initiatives, colleges might achieve substantial results by encouraging students to use the resources within themselves.
That's the ultimate goal of The College Transition Collaborative at the Project for Education Research That Scales (PERTS) research center at Stanford University. The team of universities and colleges participating in this project is working to develop interventions that directly address these socio-psychological obstacles in an effort to increase persistence and retention.
One example of such challenges students can face would be a student entering a college only to discover there are fewer students who share her racial or ethnic background attending the institution than she initially thought. Or a student may experience exclusion when friends go to the cafeteria without him — accentuating feelings about his place on campus and possibly misreading the motives of other peers. Another hump could be how students interpret the opinion of a professor when they receive critical feedback in class. They may question their own academic worthiness to be in the class instead of realizing all students experience professorial scrutiny.
If students have doubts about their place in an online course, one of the interventions would be presenting them with evidence and information that most students from their college struggle with online courses and they are not alone in this feeling, Murphy said, adding that the students could then be shown how those other students overcame their struggles.
Murphy and other scholars are developing short interventions — 20 or 30 minutes in length — that ask students who are likely to feel isolated to write out their feelings or read the impressions of other students who faced similar circumstances. The intervention will vary in language based on the type of school and social group, but initial evidence suggests this act alone decreased the racial achievement gap at one college by 50 percent, Murphy said.
Despite the early success, Murphy said that the researchers are not looking to expand this type of intervention just yet. Instead, they're continuing the experiment in 23 universities and colleges across the country in an effort to better prove that these types of psychological interventions can help students. Murphy said that for schools to scale up these ideas, it would be wise to have a social psychologist who understands the research to implement the strategies alongside administrators. The takeaway, though, is that these interventions can likely be applied in many settings.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is The Dell Scholars Scholarship, which helps low-income students succeed in college by giving them the extra funding needed to cover additional costs that can often become a barrier to succeeding academically such as child care services or textbooks.
The scholarship, which provides students with $20,000 over four years, a laptop and textbook support also provides assistance to address any emotional, lifestyle and financial challenges that might prevent students from completing college, said Lindsay Page, a professor of research methodology at the University of Pittsburgh.
Most of the Dell Scholars have proven that they can graduate from college with this additional assistance, Page said. So far, more than 1,300 Dell Scholars have graduated in an 11-year span since 2004.
"This program provides robust support to students over a long period of time. We're thinking about programs that think comprehensively and are not just throwing support at students from different places," Page said. Her research could have implications for other aid programs. States that provide need-based grants could pair recipients with mentoring support and technologies that help them wend their way through the bureaucracies of college. Page's next set of research will look at how much those add-ons would cost.


It's been a bit of a big weekend for me. Yesterday, after having many things over the holidays upset my writing schedule, I actually managed to finish the final draft of Blood Moon – hooray! I thought I wasn't going to get it done before the end of January. But I got some time yesterday and just went to it and now it's all ready to send off to my Beta readers. I'm both nervous and excited to hear what they've got to say. So we had that to celebrate last night. But we also had something else to celebrate too.
Today is my 16th wedding anniversary. We celebrated together (just hubby and I) by going out to the movies at Gold Class last night and then today we went to the Enchanted Maze Adventure Garden with our boys. We've had a lovely day going on big zip lines and racing through mazes and having a ride at the tube park and just appreciating each others company in the gorgeous gardens there. It's one of our favourite places to come with the family and today was no exception.
We had so much fun. Our feet are aching and everyone is smiling – what more can you ask for?
Well, I can answer that. I came home to see that I am a guest on AusRom Today in their fabulous Aussie Month – celebrating new and established writers of romantic fiction in Australia. It's my anniversary and I get to talk about romance and what it means to me…how serendipitous is that? I didn't even know it was going up today.
So, I'd love you to drop on by and leave a comment or share on whatever social media tickles your fancy on this special day. And I hope everyone else's days were as good as this one was for me.
Thanks Liz. They were good questions.

Q: finding polynomial in basis Given a polynomial function p(t) = t^3 - t^2 + t - 4
in standard basis {1, x, x^2, x^3}
Find the same polynomial function in a different basis B = {1, x-2, (x-2)^2, (x-2)^3}
Currently im creating a matrix and augmenting it as follows:
\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & -2 & 4 & -8 &| &-4\\
0 & 1 & -4 & 12 &| &1\\
0 & 0 & 1 & -6  &| &-1\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1   &| &1\end{array}
Then performing RREF which gives me (2,9,5,1) which should be (-4,1,-1,1) in B.
This is where I get lost, how do I write the polynomial function in B from here?
Is my approach incorrect?

A: You want to read your column solution from bottom to top:
$$ 1 [ \ (t-2)^3 \ ] \ + \ 5 [ \ (t-2)^2 \ ] \ + \ 9 [ \ t-2 \ ] \ + \ 2 \cdot 1 \ $$
$$ = \ (t^3 \ - \ 6t^2 \ + \ 12 t \ - \ 8) \ + \ (5t^2 \ -20t \ + \ 20) \ + \ (9t \ - \ 18) \ + \ 2 \ \ .  $$

Wisdom leads to Life, but following one's own path leads to a shadowy existence and death
In this message from God, it is clarified from Proverbs what the great difference is between the righteous and the unjust, and between the wise and the fool. Everyone has one's own responsibility to make his or her choice! (After clicking the video, wait for a moment until it plays.)

Published on March 28, 2018 by Heiscoming12 & Evangelical Endtime Machine International
Full view:
Hello, welcome! On March 28th, 2018, the following message was delivered to end-time Prophet Benjamin Cousijnsen, by the messenger angel of God.
Shalom! I greet you in the almighty Name of Yeshua HaMashiach, YHWH, Jesus Christ. Verily, my name is Rouaela, and I am a messenger angel of God.
You there, listen carefully!
Verily, everyone is responsible oneself for one's choices, whether one wants to belong to the righteous or to the wicked. The foolish, however, often balances on the edge of ungodliness. Verily, but the blessing of the righteous is for him or her, because one walks and believes in Yeshua HaMashiach, YHWH, Jesus Christ, and maintains his or her relationship with Him!
God loves both him and her.
The wicked, on the other hand, are at the mercy of God's wrath, even though sometimes it seems to go well with him or her; that won't be for long. Eventually one will notice the setbacks, among other things, by sinning against God, and death and destruction will be their part. Wisdom, however, leads to Life and to God's commandments. But the foolish, who goes his or her own way, leads himself into a shadowy existence and to death!
Proverbs 10, verse 3 The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
Verses 6 to 12 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall. He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out. One winking with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall. The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.
Verses 16 to 32 The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin. He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool. In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely. The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth. The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding. The LORD's blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it. It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure. What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever. As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him. The fear of the LORD prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish. The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land. The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
Verily, be righteous!
Proverbs 12, verse 1 Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
And John 3, verses 16 to 21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he "or she" has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his "or her" works would be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his "or her" works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.
I'm going now, spoke the messenger angel of God, Ruacha, Yeshu, Shalom!
And also I say to you, Ruacha, Yeshu, Shalom!

We couldn't accomplish our mission of fighting hunger in Central Florida without our partner agencies. The majority of our partners are food pantries of various types and sizes.
Calvary Outreach Center in Winter Park is one of our larger Food Pantries that serve around 2000 people a month. Recently Calvary Outreach Center moved their location to the church grounds at Calvary Assembly.
The new location gives them a lot more room for their pantry and counseling services. They have also built a class room attached to the building, which they plan on using to teach their clients that use the pantry's services.
Calvary is hosting the "Money for Food" course that the ADEPT program is offering. Hosting the classes for his clients is helping them develop the new ways to stretch their food dollar even further.
It is great that Calvary is so willing to partner with us in new ways, beyond distributing food to the clients.
"From 2005 thru 2009, thanks to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Calvary's Outreach Center and Transitions Ministry distributed 12,464 family bags of food, 13,494 homeless bag lunches, 9,177 hot lunches, and 1,982 thanksgiving turkeys .
Calvary Outreach Center, and all of our Partner Agencies are doing such a wonderful job in the fight against hunger in Central Florida.


I felt a lump in my breast while doing a self breast exam. It didn't hurt, it just felt like a small grape was under the skin. After an ultrasound and a mammogram did not confirm it, I eventually had a biopsy that detected the cancer. At the time of my diagnosis, I was in great health and had no family history of cancer.
I was very young at the time, in my late 20s and it was an incredible and terrible shock that I could get breast cancer at such an early age.
I had a modified radical mastectomy, and they also removed my lymph nodes as part of that. I also had an autogolous bone marrow transplant.
That I had a chance (and a better than 50% chance!) of getting a lifelong condition called lymphedema as a result of my breast cancer surgery – and sure enough, it happened to me. To control swelling and pain in my arm, I was told I had to wear a compression sleeve every day for the rest of my life – but I hated wearing the heavy, hot, bandage-like garment!
While attending a conference for young breast cancer survivors, I was introduced to LympheDIVAs (fun, fashionable medically-correct compression sleeves). Here I was, this young survivor, wanting to have a good time and I was wearing this ugly brown sleeve that looked even uglier against my brown skin. When I found out about LympheDIVAs, I felt so empowered to have another option. As a survivor you do not want to be seen as the "eternal" patient. You are happy to be alive and you want to get on with your life. LympheDIVAs garments look good and make me feel good.
Today there are so many more treatment options available. Learn about all your options and talk to other women who have confronted breast cancer.
It has been 17 years since my cancer diagnosis and 15 years since I completed treatment.
I learned so many lessons, but one of the most important is to engage fully in life. When I found out I had cancer, I was newly engaged. Now, 17 years later, my husband and I have adopted four children – ages 8,6,4 and 2. So now I have taken on a new role and a new challenge as a mom and really have gotten a crash course in motherhood. It is a fun (but exhausting!) chapter in my life.
Take your treatment seriously. Do what you need to do to get well, both physically and emotionally. Finding ways to cope with the after effects of treatment, like discovering LympheDIVAs to beautifully control my lymphedema, was just as important to me as beating cancer.
Olade (O-la-day) Olayinka developed breast cancer in her late twenties – a shocking diagnosis for a recently engaged young woman about to embark on a new chapter in her life. She endured two long years of treatment, including an autologous bone marrow transplant and a modified radical mastectomy in which all the lymph nodes around her underarm were removed.
Although treatment saved Olade's life, it also led to nerve damage which caused her to feel tingling, numbness and swelling in her arm. After six months of these symptoms, a specialist diagnosed her with lymphedema, a lifelong condition that requires physical therapy and daily use of compression garments to control pain and swelling.
A resident of Philadelphia, with a full-time job, Olade has taken on a new role in her 40s: Mom. She and her husband adopted four children, now ages 8, 6, 4 and 2. She's had a crash course in motherhood, but loves every minute of her hectic life, not allowing lymphedema to slow her down or get in the way of her dreams.


How to push publish all streams from wowza origin?
I would like to use push publish and this tutorial ( http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?109-How-to-push-streams-to-CDNs-and-other-services-%28Push-Publishing%29) to publish all streams to a CDN (without a mapping file).
Can someone recommend on how to accomplish this? My stream names are very dynamic and a mapping file would not work for my use case.
Hello Allen and welcome to the Wowza support forum.
Hi @Allan Y. I agree with @sal jefferson when he implies that a Pull solution in many cases makes more sense when distributing via a CDN. One of the advantages is e.g. that you are in control of the HTTP stream settings, like HLS chunk size, playlist size and cache expiration.
If you must push all streams to the CDN, and the default push-publish (aka. Stream Targets) is not an option, then the solution would be to develop a custom module that automatically starts pushing a stream to the CDN as soon as it gets published.

The latitude of the Alchemical Elemental points of Project AM47 are shared by almost all the power centers of this modern world.
Don't You find it just-a-little-bit-strange that almost all the major power centers of this modern world lie on the same latitude as the Alchemical Elemental points of Project ALTER MAN 47? Curiously astonishing, don't You think?? The Modern World: S.F. (Silicon Valley), New York, D.C., Rome, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Tehran, Beijing, Tokyo… ALL within a few degrees of the latitude of Project AM47. Striking. Not to mention the fact that the cradle of civilization as we know it; the 12,000 year old astroarchaeological site at Gobekli Tepe, Turkey is DIRECTLY on the latitude and just west of AM47's Alchemical Point of Elemental AIR. Hot Stuff. Planet Earth is a Magic Item! She's an altar with all the instruments of The Art built-in. All she needs now is the master ritual of The Alchemical Great Work, and AM47 aims to do just that.

An unusual thing happened to me a few years ago. I spoke casually with a woman who served tables at a restaurant I frequented. We knew each other by first name only, but usually chatted for a few minutes each time I dined there.
'What has he done?' I thought. I nodded yes.
"Oh, I didn't see his face," she said smiling as if she were keeping a secret.
"Then how did you know he was my son?" Now I was puzzled.
Walks like me? Now I was curious. How do I walk? Since I'm doing the walking, I don't notice how I look to others. Maybe I could watch him amble around to get an idea.
That said, how we walk down a street and how we walk through life are very different things. Perhaps I can't help how I walk down a street, but I want to be intentional about how I walk through life.
Through life, I want to walk gently. I want to treat all of life – the earth and its people – with reverence. I want to remove my shoes in the presence of holy ground. As much as possible, I want to walk in peace.
I want to walk lightly, even joyfully, through whatever days I am given. I want to laugh easily. I want to step carefully in and out of people's lives and relationships. I don't want to tread any heavier than necessary.
And throughout life, I think I would like to walk with more humility and less anger, more love and less fear. I want to walk confidently, but without arrogance. I want to walk in deep appreciation. I want to be genuinely thankful for life's extravagant, yet simple, gifts – a star-splattered night sky or a hot drink on an ice-cold day.
If life is a journey, then how I make that journey is important. How I walk through life.
But still I wonder how I look when I walk down a street.
There was an article in New Scientist about how computers can recognize people by their walk faster and more accurately than by faces.
I disagree about treading lightly on holy ground. Most of that needs to be stomped and danced on. If it can't take it, then it wasn't all that holy. When it comes to biology, government or religion, sunshine is the best disinfectant.
Your article captures exactly the way I want my walk through life to be as well! If you son "walks like you" through life he will do well, since you have to have quite a "walk" for that waitress to notice the resemblance!
I am developing a website and blog called Myinspirationplace.com and like to include some of your articles if that is permissible. I have been receiving and reading your newsletter for years and look forward to getting it. Thanks for sharing your life with the world.
You are certainly welcome to post or reprint any of my articles -- and thanks for including my name and web address.
I really like your story. I'm leading worship tomorrow (at a church in Northampton, England where I'm training as a lay preacher) about Jesus as the way, truth & life. I intend to tell your story to the children early in the service, as an illustration of how we walk. Thank you for it.
I'm glad you can use it, Magnus.
My late Mother in Law had macular degeneration, and I was her most recognizable person,because of my walk. Now, after finishing Seminary, I find I have "pastor's walk". I think you are right; how we walk and bear ourselves carries much information we may be unaware we're offering. Let's do it humbly.


A night of country stars is usually guaranteed to bring lots of sparkle. This years Academy of Country Music awards was no exception. However, I don't think the ladies of country killed it on the 2019 ACM's red carpet like they typically do. A select few definitely did and those are the ladies who made my best dressed list. Plus one handsome looking guy. Everyone else seemed to be styled in less than thrilling ensembles. But, inside the show, WOW! Reba put on her best sparkly number, Miranda rocked a stunning black jumpsuit and Karen Walker looked like an iridescent angel. Plus, the musical performances were top notch. I am not always into country music, but it's having a special kind of moment right now, and it's one I am really enjoying.
Dustin Lynch – He looked like a classic country gentleman.
What looks did you love this year?
I love the dress that Miranda Lambert is wearing (and her clutch bag): simple, elegant, classy.
Oh I loved that clutch too! You are completely right, elegant all the way, but with her own twist!
Always it is fun to see who chooses what to wear to awards. Not sure about Ms. Decker's choice.


So overwhelmed and proud to announce that I'm NOT Disordered has made it onto FeedSpot's UK TOP TEN BLOGS about Borderline Personality Disorder!
Huge thank you to everyone at FeedSpot and most importantly, to all of you guys reading this! Without my readers I wouldn't have the incredible opportunities that I get, and my work means the world to me! You guys have given me something to be proud of and allowed me to finally find my purpose in life. And that, is something I will be forever grateful for.

"Join the Team!" soccer ball with Pebax Rnew
Exhibition Spotlight
Pebax Rnew, Arkema's bio-sourced elastomer has been selected by Sony for its original soccer ball, named "Join the Team!", specifically developed for donation to children in Africa.
In many African countries, including Republic of South Africa, where 2010 FIFA World Cup will take place and for which Sony is an official sponsor, soccer is often being played in very demanding conditions, which shortens durability of the balls. Wishing the children to play soccer as long as possible, Sony has leveraged its expertise in material research to make "Join the Team!", a unique soccer ball built to endure Africa's rugged terrains, in which Pebax Rnew is used. This TPE is partially made from non-edible renewable resource, castor oil, which contributes to global warming reduction. This ball features a dual layered surface, one of them being in Pebax Rnew, which brings 1.6 times higher durability than conventional soccer balls, says Arkema. These footballs will be distributed by NGOs - UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) and JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) - during and after the 2010 World Cup. This football donation program is part of a wider project called « Earth FC » (www.sony.net/earthfc) which aims to draw the attention of the international community to the major health challenges facing Africa, e.g. the spread of AIDS.

Lehvoss: 3D printing materials tested according to EN 45545
The use of plastics in railway vehicles has represented the state of the art for a number of years now. In component production for this field, too, 3D printing is becoming increasingly important, with 3D printed plastics being put to use on both the outside and inside of railway vehicles. Apart from its use in new vehicles, additive manufacturing is also displaying its strengths in the production of spare parts. The required components can be produced cost-effectively in small and medium-size quantities and, in some cases, the reacquisition of parts only becomes possible at all through 3D printing.
