We Say "Yarn", You Say "Crawl"! Yarn! Crawl! Yarn Crawl!
We are thrilled to be participating in this year's Charm City Yarn Crawl! This is a wonderful week of exploring your local yarn suppliers, getting great discounts, and entering to win prizes! You must purchase a Yarn Crawl tote ($15) and have it with you to receive the discounts, but believe us, it's worth it. The totes are available at our own Little Boutique online (for in-store pickup), or at any of the participating shops. Fourteen different yarn stores in the area are participating, and every one of them will have great specials you won't want to miss!
In addition to offering the yarn crawl discounts all week, we will be offering demonstration events during the weekends.
On April 8, 14, and 15, we will have demonstrations every two hours, cycling through Ravishing Roving (art batts & rolags), Spiffy Spinning (art yarn techniques), and Fabulous Felt (needle felting). Heather can't wait to show folks the different techniques she's learned at various workshops during the past year!
Please note that we will not be able to offer demonstrations on Saturday, April 7.
Heather is giving a talk that Saturday with the Creative Knitters Guild in Kensington, so she won't be on the farm to work her magic with fiber.
Please visit http://charmcityyarncrawl.com/ for all the details about the totes, the prize entry passports, and, of course, the participating shops. We can't wait to see you!
Here at Breezy Hill Farms we a first-rate herd of alpacas. In our time raising these wonderful animals we have seen some of the great ways alpaca fleece can be utilized. Today we are going to talk about how you can use alpaca fleece to stay warm and comfy this winter.
Cardigans – A great way to look stylish this winter.
Sweaters – This classic is taken to whole new level of comfort when made with alpaca fleece.
Zipper sweaters – Similar to the classic sweater but easier to get on and off.
Long johns – Alpaca long johns are more comfortable and keep you much warmer than traditional long johns.
Stylish ponchos – Ponchos can be more than just a great fashion accessory. In fact, alpaca ponchos do a great job protecting you from cold winter gusts.
Deep neck pullover – This is a very hip look right now, and it's the perfect season to try it out.
Fur headbands – This is a trendy way to keep your ears nice and warm.
Shawl – This classy accessory is a great way to stay warm and look great.
Scarves – Scarves are a necessary part of all winter wardrobes. The luxurious look and feel of alpaca fleece makes scarves even more marvelous.
Turtlenecks – A great way to keep your neck and torso nice and toasty this winter.
Fur hat – This is a very classy accessory, and it keeps your ears cozy and warm.
Gloves, mittens, and glittens (a glove/mitten combo) – These are another absolute necessity this winter.
Beanies – a great way for men to keep their ears warm this winter.
It is luxuriously soft – It is as soft as cashmere, but it is much more durable and long-lasting.
It is very strong and light – Alpaca fleece is uniquely lightweight and has unmatched strength.
It is wrinkle resistant – Not only does alpaca fleece not form matted balls as it is worn and washed, but it also naturally resists wrinkles.
It doesn't absorb moisture – This is part of the reason why alpaca fleece makes such great winter wear.
It doesn't absorb odors – Because it naturally wicks away body oils and odors, the alpaca fleece you wear requires significantly less laundering.
It is naturally flame resistant – Most synthetic fibers are highly flammable. Therefore, they must be covered with potentially irritating flame retardants. Alpaca is naturally resistant to flames.
It is hypoallergenic – Alpaca is lanolin free and doesn't hold dust. This makes it an amazing find for those with allergies.
Visit our website to learn more about our farm, and check out our store to see our premium alpaca products.
EXPERIENCE: Meet this lovable, gentle livestock face to face! You can meet and feed our other many animals.
TOUCH: Feel their luxurious and fashionable fleece – it truly is one of a kind!
SHOP: Breezy Hill Farm sells items made from eco-friendly alpaca fleece that are as soft and comfortable as anything you'll find!

Star Trek OS/2
Description: The OS specification would not allow me to post this as an OS/2 program, so I put it under DOS. Super Star Trek is quite possibly the best of the "Star Trek" games from the 1970's. Of course, it does not make use of graphics, or even assume a video display, but it still an interesting game to play, particularly for those of us who don't have the reflexes we used to and prefer a more cerebral computer game. Of course, Star Trek and it's characters are trademarks of Paramount Studios, Inc. And just like the original game, written by Star Trek fans who were also the, back then, rare breed of computer geek, isn't used with permission but with admiration of the show. The DOS version requires a 80386 or better. Since source code is available, Super Star Trek can be compiled for virtually any system having a C compiler and sufficient memory for execution (which isn't much by today's standards!) I would suggest using the linux.c file as a starting point for customizing to any given operating system, including Microsoft Windows. The Windows Console has been recompiled using Visual Studio and now works better. All versions have an executable program as well as a documentation file, SST.DOC. The SST.DOC file must be in the same directory/folder as the program is run from in order to view the documentation from within the game with the HELP command.
Manufacturer: Star Trek Fans
OS: OS/2

This year, 3 friends and I played a demo of Marvel Powers United VR on 4 fully loaded Oculus setups with motion sensitive headsets and hand-held controllers. A single set of this gear costs multiple hundreds of dollars. When my system booted up, I was The Hulk - I was taller than everyone, my strides consumed feet like they were inches, and I could grab puny humans by their baseball-size skulls. It was unbelievably immersive; my brain easily believed in this new reality. I only experienced a little motion sickness; see (this for more on gender and VR motion sickness).
With any one of a number of electronic headsets and their companion apps, you can record and view panoramic or even 720° photos (some with even ambient sound). You can then view these high-resolution photos on the headset where moving your head moves the view of the photo. I've had demos of this too, and they're also very immersive. Can you imagine immersing your family in your vacation photos like this? Or remember that folks with disabilities are often technology's earliest adopters - virtual environments like this would be huge for those with severe anxiety or people who have trouble traveling.
Think about watching your favorite sports team; with 3D sound and picture captured right on the sidelines? Beyond games and entertainment, the universal on-line educational system of "Ready Player One" seems tantalizingly close. If you ever get a chance to try out some of this technology, I highly recommend checking it out.
There are more utilitarian ways to utilize VR. Google offers Cardboard, a $15 set of "glasses" that you insert your smartphone into. As just one example of apps for Cardboard, here is one which simulates a conference stage, so that you can practice your public speaking.
If you're a developer, this is a great time to start working with VR technologies. A great place to start is Shagufta Gurmukhdas's SeattleJS Conf 2017 talk about VR and Mozilla's A-Frame.

Walking Together on a Path of Service: Book 7
Unit 2: Becoming a Tutor of Books 1 – 6
The purpose of this unit is to "explore some of the concepts and acquire some of the attitudes and skills, and abilities, that contribute to the capability of helping a group of friends go through Books 1-6. The practice encouraged as part of this book is to "form a study circle (which is about both spiritual and intellectual education leading to spiritual and moral empowerment) and accompany it through at least one book."
The broader purpose is to assist the participant to contribute to the development of human resources in his/her community. Initial training, participation in study circles and in periodic meetings of consultation organized by the Institute, are three steps to becoming a tutor. During the reflection gatherings, experiences are analysed and skills and attributes enhanced.
Motivation: Factors that motivate people can be transitory (that excite people momentarily to spur them to action for a short period of time) or permanent (generates motivation with roots deep in a person's heart.) Learning is fun but education is not the same as entertainment.
Why enhance your capacity to act as a tutor?
"to bring the knowledge of the Love of God to every heart"
Enthusiasm (the natural expression of inner joy) motivates others. Excitement (a momentary and superficial emotion that results from passing circumstances). In this section we re-visit Book 2.
Joy: Book 2: Unit 1: Book 2 is about the "joy of teaching which is in the very act of sharing with others the Word of God, independent of immediate results."
Book 2: Part 2: (Deepening Themes) Home visits are an act of service. Some deepening topics include the Eternal Covenant of God, a history of the Life of Baha'u'llah, love and unity in the Baha'i community, Baha'i meetings (Nineteen Day Feast), the Fund, . Other potential topics include prayer, the life of the soul, the true meaning of sacrifice).
Book 2: Part 2: (Deepening Themes): Section 7
Sharing spiritual experience is a source of great joy.
In Book 2: Part 2: (Deepening Themes): Section 7
"O thou my beloved friend! O thou my beloved friend!For a long time thou didst have the longing to visit the Blessed Spot and the yearning to meet this imprisoned one. Finally this gift became realized, but it was for one moment and as the dew to the rose-garden of the hearts. The destiny was such and the means were brought about in this way. I became sad and disappointed more than thyself. But I hope that this meeting became as the wick of the lamp and the fire—that as soon as it was touched it became ignited. I am expecting the results of this meeting, that I may see thee lighted as a candle and burning thyself as a moth with the fire of the love of God, weeping like unto the cloud by the greatness of love and attraction, laughing like unto the meadow and stirred into cheerfulness like unto the young tree by the wafting of the breeze of the Paradise of Abha!
All the believers in the East and in this Spot are expecting the receipt of letters from thee ('Abdu'l-Bahá 1909). From Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Bahá'í Publishing Committee, 1909 edition Pages: 730."
"The third Tajallí is concerning arts, crafts and sciences. Knowledge is as wings to man's life, and a ladder for his ascent. Its acquisition is incumbent upon everyone. The knowledge of such sciences, however, should be acquired as can profit the peoples of the earth, and not those which begin with words and end with words. Great indeed is the claim of scientists and craftsmen on the peoples of the world. Unto this beareth witness the Mother Book on the day of His return. Happy are those possessed of a hearing ear. In truth, knowledge is a veritable treasure for man, and a source of glory, of bounty, of joy, of exaltation, of cheer and gladness unto him. Thus hath the Tongue of Grandeur spoken in this Most Great Prison (Bahá'u'lláh 47-54)." Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh Revealed After the Kitáb-i-Aqdas US Bahá'í Publishing Trust, 1988 pocket-size edition.
List of direct quotations from the Sacred Writings
Sections 1, 2 and 3 – no quotations
"O Company of God! To each created thing, the Ancient Sovereignty hath portioned out its own perfection, its particular virtue and special excellence, so that each in its degree may become a symbol denoting the sublimity of the true Educator of humankind, and that each, even as a crystalline mirror, may tell of the grace and splendour of the Sun of Truth.
""And from amongst all creatures He hath singled out man, to grant him His most wondrous gift, and hath made him to attain the bounties of the Company on High. That most precious of gifts is attainment unto His unfailing guidance, that the inner reality of humankind should become as a niche to hold this lamp; and when the scattering splendours of this light do beat against the bright glass of the heart, the heart's purity maketh the beams to blaze out even stronger than before, and to shine in glory on the minds and souls of men.
"The attainment of the most great guidance is dependent upon knowledge and wisdom, and on being informed as to the mysteries of the Holy Words. Wherefore must the loved ones of God, be they young or old, be they men or women, each one according to his capabilities, strive to acquire the various branches of knowledge, and to increase his understanding of the mysteries of the Holy Books, and his skill in marshalling the divine proofs and evidences.
"The eminent Sadru's-Sudur, who hath verily attained a most exalted station in the Retreats of Bliss, inaugurated the teaching meeting. He was the first blessed soul to lay the foundation of this momentous institution. God be praised, during the course of his life he educated persons who today are strong and eloquent advocates of the Lord God, disciples who are indeed pure and spiritual descendants of him who was so close to the Holy Threshold. After his passing, certain blessed individuals took steps to perpetuate his teaching work, and when He learned of it, this Captive's heart rejoiced." ('Abdu'l-Baha, cited in Baha'i Education, comp. The Research Department of the Universal House of Justice, published in The Compilation of Compilations [Ingleside: Baha'I Publications Australia, 1991] vol. 1, p. 252)
"O God, O Thou Who hast cast Thy splendour over the luminous realities of men, shedding upon them the resplendent lights of knowledge and guidance, and hast chosen them out of all created things for this supernal grace, and hast caused them to encompass all things, to understand their inmost essence, and to disclose their mysteries, bringing them forth out of darkness into the visible world! 'He verily showeth His special mercy to whomsoever He will.'"
"O Lord, help Thou Thy loved ones to acquire knowledge and the sciences and arts, and to unravel the secrets that are treasured up in the inmost reality of all created beings. Make them to hear the hidden truths that are written and embedded in the heart of all that is. Make them to be ensigns of guidance amongst all creatures, and piercing rays of the mind shedding forth their light in this, the "first life". Make them to be leaders unto Thee, guides unto Thy path, runners urging men on to Thy Kingdom."
"Thou verily art the Powerful, the Protector, the Potent, the Defender, the Mighty, the Most Generous."('Abdu'l-Baha, cited in Baha'i Education, comp. The Research Department of the Universal House of Justice, published in The Compilation of Compilations [Ingleside: Baha'i Publications Australia, 1991] vol. 1, pp 251-252)
Section 5 – no quotations
""Tear asunder, in My Name, the veils that have grievously blinded your vision, and, through the power born of your belief in the unity of God, scatter the idols of vain imitation. Enter, then, the holy paradise of the good-pleasure of the All-Merciful. Sanctify your souls from whatsoever is not of God, and taste ye the sweetness of rest within the pale of His vast and mighty Revelation, and beneath the shadow of His supreme and infallible authority. Suffer not yourselves to be wrapt in the dense veils of your selfish desires, inasmuch as I have perfected in every one of you My creation, so that the excellence of My handiwork may be fully revealed unto men. It follows, therefore, that every man hath been, and will continue to be, able of himself to appreciate the Beauty of God, the Glorified." (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, LXXV p. 143)
"Hear Me, ye mortal birds! In the Rose Garden of changeless splendor a Flower hath begun to bloom, compared to which every other flower is but a thorn, and before the brightness of Whose glory the very essence of beauty must pale and wither. Arise, therefore, and, with the whole enthusiasm of your hearts, with all the eagerness of your souls, the full fervor of your will, and the concentrated efforts of your entire being, strive to attain the paradise of His presence, and endeavor to inhale the fragrance of the incorruptible Flower, to breathe the sweet savors of holiness, and to obtain a portion of this perfume of celestial glory. Whoso followeth this counsel will break his chains asunder, will taste the abandonment of enraptured love, will attain unto his heart's desire, and will surrender his soul into the hands of his Beloved. Bursting through his cage, he will, even as the bird of the spirit, wing his flight to his holy and everlasting nest.
"The everlasting Candle shineth in its naked glory. Behold how it hath consumed every mortal veil. O ye moth-like lovers of His light! Brave every danger, and consecrate your souls to its consuming flame. O ye that thirst after Him! Strip yourselves of every earthly affection, and hasten to embrace your Beloved. With a zest that none can equal make haste to attain unto Him. The Flower, thus far hidden from the sight of men, is unveiled to your eyes. In the open radiance of His glory He standeth before you. His voice summoneth all the holy and sanctified beings to come and be united with Him. Happy is he that turneth thereunto; well is it with him that hath attained, and gazed on the light of so wondrous a countenance." (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, CLI pp. 320-322)
"Apart from these provisions Bahá'u'lláh exhorts His followers to consort, with amity and concord and without discrimination, with the adherents of all religions; warns them to guard against fanaticism, sedition, pride, dispute and contention; inculcates upon them immaculate cleanliness, strict truthfulness, spotless chastity, trustworthiness; hospitality, fidelity, courtesy, forbearance, justice and fairness; counsels them to be "even as the fingers of one hand and the limbs of one body"; calls upon them to arise and serve His Cause; and assures them of His undoubted aid. (Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, pp. 214-215)
Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 – no quotations
"Children are the most precious treasure a community can possess, for in them are the promise and guarantee of the future. They bear the seeds of the character of future society which is largely shaped by what the adults constituting the community do or fail to do with respect to children. They are a trust no community can neglect with impunity. An all-embracing love of children, the manner of treating them, the quality of the attention shown them, the spirit of adult behaviour toward them — these are all among the vital aspects of the requisite attitude. Love demands discipline, the courage to accustom children to hardship, not to indulge their whims or leave them entirely to their own devices. An atmosphere needs to be maintained in which children feel that they belong to the community and share in its purpose. They must lovingly but insistently be guided to live up to Bahá'í standards, to study and teach the Cause in ways that are suited to their circumstances."(The Universal House of Justice, Ridvan 157, 2000)

Three elements at heart of system: 1. Sequence of courses 2. Study circle 3. Tutor
This section 21 deals with the Tutor. Discuss concept of service.
"The tie of servitude established between the worshiper and the adored One, between the creature and the Creator, should in itself be regarded as a token of His gracious favor unto men, and not as an indication of any merit they may possess. To this testifieth every true and discerning believer."(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, XCIV pp. 193-194)
"If thou seekest eternal glory, let thyself be humble and meek in the presence of the beloved of God; make thyself the servant of all, and serve all alike. The service of the friends belongs to God, not to them. Strive to become a source of harmony, spirituality and joyfulness to the hearts of the friends and the maid-servants of the Merciful. This is a cause of great satisfaction to Abdul-Baha."(Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha Abbas vol.1, pp. 61-62)
Section 22 no quotations p. 91-92
Using "To the Collaborators" sections in each book tutors meet with other tutors and resource people. Purpose of tutor gatherings:
Further understanding of relevant concepts
polish one's qualities and attitudes
improve skills and abilities
varied experiences are analyzed
answers sought to questions
Engaging in reciprocal process of learning
Responsibility of learning rests with participants
Process of education: participants become increasingly conscious of meaning and significance of actions
Three levels of comprehension 1. understanding the meaning of words and sentences from the Writings 2. See how concepts in the Writings apply to one's daily life 3. Grasp some of the implications of the quotations. There are however many other levels of understanding and it does not really matter which unit is related to which level.
Specific purpose and limited usefulness of technique of dividing participant into pairs: one person reads passage, other formulates related question.
Ability to focus attention on the immediate and explicit meaning of passages from the Writings contributes to the creation of unity in Baha'i communities.
Counterproductive long discussion of meaning of single words
Establish a rhythm of progress in the study of each course
Avoid superficial approach that lack adequate analysis
Avoid prolonged distracting discussions
Recognize exercises that are intended to raise awareness through complexity
Be aware of underlying overall purpose of each unit
Be aware of one or two principal ideas that each section conveys

"Applying passages of the Writings to one's daily life. The study of the Revelation should lead to concerted effort to apply the Teachings, which requires thinking, consulting and analyzing one's understanding in the light of experience. If this process is not well understood, unhealthy characteristics can appear in an individual or even in a community. For example, if someone constantly quotes from "scripture", ignores every other source of knowledge, and refuses to give any credence to accumulated experience, he or she will have a tendency to be narrow-minded. On the other hand, a person who attaches too much importance to experience and human opinions and devalues the authority of the Holy Text falls prey to the kind of relativism according to which everything is a matter of culture or personal preference. Discuss in your group how both these propositions can result in superstition, intolerance, fanaticism and sloppiness (Book 7:Unit 2:Section 23:p.93-4) ."

Three participants in growth process
The Universal House of Justice wrote,
"The role of the individual is of unique importance in the work of the Cause. It is the individual who manifests the vitality of faith upon which the success of the teaching work and the development of the community depend. Bahá'u'lláh's command to each believer to teach His Faith confers an inescapable responsibility which cannot be transferred to, or assumed by, any institution of the Cause. The individual alone can exercise those capacities which include the ability to take initiative, to seize opportunities, to form friendships, to interact personally with others, to build relationships, to win the cooperation of others in common service to the Faith and society, and to convert into action the decisions made by consultative bodies. It is the individual's duty to 'consider every avenue of approach which he might utilize in his personal attempts to capture the attention, maintain the interest, and deepen the faith, of those whom he seeks to bring into the fold of his Faith.'
"To optimize the use of these capacities, the individual draws upon his love for Bahá'u'lláh, the power of the Covenant, the dynamics of prayer, the inspiration and education derived from regular reading and study of the Holy Texts, and the transformative forces that operate upon his soul as he strives to behave in accordance with the divine laws and principles. In addition to these, the individual, having been given the duty to teach the Cause, is endowed with the capacity to attract particular blessings promised by Bahá'u'lláh. 'Whoso openeth his lips in this Day,' the Blessed Beauty asserts, 'and maketh mention of the name of his Lord, the hosts of Divine inspiration shall descend upon him from the heaven of My name, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. On him shall also descend the Concourse on high, each bearing aloft a chalice of pure light.'"(The Universal House of Justice, Ridvan 153, 1996)
"A community is of course more than the sum of its membership; it is a comprehensive unit of civilization composed of individuals, families and institutions that are originators and encouragers of systems, agencies and organizations working together with a common purpose for the welfare of people both within and beyond its own borders; it is a composition of diverse, interacting participants that are achieving unity in an unremitting quest for spiritual and social progress. Since Bahá'ís everywhere are at the very beginning of the process of community building, enormous effort must be devoted to the tasks at hand.
"As we have said in an earlier message, the flourishing of the community, especially at the local level, demands a significant enhancement in patterns of behaviour: those patterns by which the collective expression of the virtues of the individual members and the functioning of the Spiritual Assembly are manifest in the unity and fellowship of the community and the dynamism of its activity and growth. This calls for the integration of the component elements — adults, youth and children — in spiritual, social, educational and administrative activities; and their engagement in local plans of teaching and development. It implies a collective will and sense of purpose to perpetuate the Spiritual Assembly through annual elections. It involves the practice of collective worship of God. Hence, it is essential to the spiritual life of the community that the friends hold regular devotional meetings in local Bahá'í centres, where available, or elsewhere, including the homes of believers."(The Universal House of Justice, Ridvan 153, 1996)

"Today, all the peoples of the world are indulging in self-interest and exert the utmost effort and endeavour to promote their own material interests. They are worshipping themselves and not the divine reality, nor the world of mankind. They seek diligently their own benefit and not the common weal. This is because they are captives of the world of nature and unaware of the divine teachings, of the bounty of the Kingdom and of the Sun of Truth. But ye, praise be to God, are at present especially favoured with this bounty, have become of the chosen, have been informed of the heavenly instructions, have gained admittance into the Kingdom of God, have become the recipients of unbounded blessings and have been baptized with the Water of Life, with the fire of the love of God and with the Holy Spirit.
"Strive, therefore, with heart and soul that ye become ignited candles in the assemblage of the world, glittering stars on the horizon of Truth and may become the cause of the propagation of the light of the Kingdom; in order that the world of humanity may be converted into a divine realm, the nether world may become the world on high, the love of God and the mercy of the Lord may raise their canopy upon the apex of the world, human souls may become the waves of the ocean of truth, the world of humanity may grow into one blessed tree, the verses of oneness may be chanted and the melodies of sanctity may reach the Supreme Concourse.
"Day and night I entreat and supplicate to the Kingdom of God and beg for you infinite assistance and confirmation. Do not take into consideration your own aptitudes and capacities, but fix your gaze on the consummate bounty, the divine bestowal and the power of the Holy Spirit — the power that converteth the drop into a sea and the star into a sun.
"Praise be to God, the hosts of the Supreme Concourse secure the victory and the power of the Kingdom is ready to assist and to support. Should ye at every instant unloosen the tongue in thanksgiving and gratitude, ye would not be able to discharge yourselves of the obligation of gratitude for these bestowals."(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, No. 68 pp. 110-111)


In 2008, a North American telecom leader needed a new strategy designed to achieve three key objectives: bolster customer retention, drive cost containment, and generate revenue. The company outsourced this business to HGS exclusively, as the only call center to handle this call type outside of the client's own in-house call center. HGS brought people, technology, and innovation on day one for launch of a retention strategy that resulted in quick wins for the client. The client soon trusted HGS for expansion of CX support to four brick-and-mortar call centers as well as robust work-at-home support.
HGS's value has been significant—driving revenue as a result of saved customers, as well as low deactivation and churn numbers. In fact, HGS performance exceeds that of the internal sites in terms of the number of deactivations and the churn percentages we achieve. Today, HGS provides an end-to-end, differentiated customer experience to save more than 80% of customer cancellations. As a result, this media giant is supported by both revenue generation and savings to thrive in a hypercompetitive marketplace.

Venezuelan opposition attempts to disrupt London meeting
On Monday 22nd May a sizeable group of Venezuelan opposition supporters attempted to disrupt a solidarity meeting in London. Who are they and what did they want?
The meeting had been called by the Hands Off Venezuela campaign jointly with the Marxist Student Federation with the aim of hearing an eyewitness report from Jorge Martin, secretary of the HOV campaign who had just returned from Venezuela.
Soon after we arrived at the venue, half an hour before the announced starting time for the meeting, a group of Venezuelan opposition supporters arrived and sat down. They brought banners and signs and were clearly attempting to disrupt the meeting. We later found out that they had been organising for a week and had gathered before hand 5pm outside Russell Sq station) in order "to fine tune the details and assign individual and group actions". They were outraged at a "pro-chavista and communist action" taking place.
They had even created a private Facebook group in order to coordinate their "intervention".
The group had been created by Alejandro Parias who announced it on a Venezuelans in the UK Facebook group.
Alejandro Parias (who describes himself as a "Physiotherapist, P.T, and beauty therapist working with muscular re-education for celebrities&VIP") is also mentioned as the contact person for coordinating the intervention at our meeting in several of the call outs which were circulated. He was certainly present at the meeting and was one of the people who led the attempt to disrupt the meeting.
Very actively promoting the call to disrupt our meeting was the London branch of GANA Venezuela (Great National Alliance for the Rescue of Venezuela). GANA is a new Venezuelan opposition organisation created earlier this year which distinguishes itself from the main MUD opposition coalition by their rejection of all electoral tactics and their insistence that "the regime can only be overthrown" and their insistence that the army should intervene (that is, carry out a coup against the democratically elected government). They also insist in a policy of no dialogue with the government, claim to follow the dictates of Jesus Christ and one of their programmatic points is the "condemnation of communism and any other form of totalitarianism" as well as "the defence of private property and private business". That is to say that within the reactionary nature of the Venezuelan opposition, they belong to its clerical, coup-plotting, rabidly anti-communist far right.
One of the founders and main figureheads of GANA is the journalist Nitu Pérez Osuna, formerly an anchor at Globovisión, who distinguished herself for insisting that Nicolás Maduro is in reality Colombian, not Venezuelan, and therefore is not even qualified to be president (a similar argument to the one used by the far right against Obama in the US).
Not all Venezuelan oppositionists at the meeting belonged to this far right fringe, but clearly it was this group of people who can only be described (by their ideas and their actions) as fascists, who led and coordinated the attempt to shut down the meeting. Also present were representatives of Voluntad Popular as well as the coordinator of the MUD in London. Although some more normal opposition supporters might have been genuine ashamed of behaviour of these far right thugs, they never challenged them to drop their behaviour.
On several occasions they tried to interrupt the speaker, but the real nature of their ideas and intentions was revealed as soon as the question and answer part of the meeting started. They stood up in unison, put on scarves covering their faces and started to shout at the rest of the meeting, while very aggressively filming everyone present with their cell phones and GoPro cameras.

During the meeting they couldn't keep quiet while other people were expressing their views and constantly interrupted other speakers, despite the fact that they were allowed to have their say. Despite one of them protesting they were not racists, they shouted racist abuse at a Bolivian comrade who spoke as well as taking exception to a Colombian comrade who also spoke in defence of the revolution.

Whenever they managed to make a point their class outlook came out very clearly. One of them complained that his father's coffee factory had gone bankrupt because of the government price controls which didn't allow them to make a profit and "create lots of jobs". Another criticised the Venezuelan government's social housing program which has built and delivered 1.6 million homes, because the people who had gotten them "didn't own the homes".
One of the points they stressed was "we are Venezuelans, you are not" and "there are no chavista Venezuelans in the room". First of all, it is neither easy nor cheap to emigrate to the UK from Venezuela, something which is only possible for people with a certain amount of money at their disposal. That tells you something about the class divide between the opposition and the revolutionaries in Venezuela. However, there were a number of Venezuelan chavistas in the room, but they chose not to speak in the face of the threatening attitude of the opposition supporters. Given the current climate of violence and threats against supporters of the Bolivarian revolution, they were sensible not to identify themselves.
At the end of the meeting, instead of listening to the speaker attempt to reply the points made during the discussion, again they disrupted the proceedings, shouting, standing up, shoving their cameras into people's' faces and left the room proffering various threats as well as allegations that we had been "paid to tell lies".

One of the oppositionists most vocal in his threats when leaving the room was C. Javier Rodriguez Rondon, who lives in Brighton and Hove, and had already threatened violence before the meeting ("who knows anything about these rats, so I can beat them up myself").
What became clear to anyone who attended the meeting was that these people did not come to the meeting just to tell "their truth" or to engage in a debate. Their intention was clearly to disrupt the meeting and prevent anyone else from expressing their points of view. What they clearly revealed was the undemocratic and reactionary nature of the Venezuelan opposition.
The attempt to disrupt the meeting in London is not an isolated event. Venezuelan opposition supporters have organised a lynch mob against chavistas abroad, publishing the names and addresses of supporters of the revolution, government and embassy officials as well as those of their children and relatives and encouraged opposition supporters "to get them". In Madrid, a threatening mob of opposition supporters besieged a cultural building of the Venezuelan embassy where a solidarity meeting was taking place and did not allow anyone out (with threats of violence) for 5 hours. Once people were finally allowed out, some of them were followed, harassed and punched, as was the case with a Peruvian national.

Members of Hands Off Venezuela have received threats of violence for the part they played in a solidarity picket at the Venezuelan consulate in Frankfurt. Now threats of violence by someone with open Nazi sympathies have also been issued against HOV activists in Belgium who are participating in the organisation of a solidarity event.
We will not be cowed. We will not change our commitment to defend the Bolivarian revolution just because a few far right thugs attempt to shut us down. We will mobilise the full power of the organised labour movement, the solidarity movement and the democratic and progressive public opinion to defend our right to express our ideas and prevent our meetings from being disrupted by fascist thugs.

Q: Run Python script at startup using upstart I'm trying to create an upstart script to run a python script on startup. In theory it looks simple enough but I just can't seem to get it to work. I'm using a skeleton script I found here and altered.
description "Used to start python script as a service"
author "Me <me@I.com.au>"

# Stanzas
#
# Stanzas control when and how a process is started and stopped
# See a list of stanzas here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas#respawn

# When to start the service
start on runlevel [2345]

# When to stop the service
stop on runlevel [016]

# Automatically restart process if crashed
respawn

# Essentially lets upstart know the process will detach itself to the background
expect fork

# Start the process
script
  exec python /usr/local/scripts/script.py
end script

The test script I want it to run is currently a simple python script that runs without any issue when run from a terminal.
#!/usr/bin/python2

import os, sys, time

The SPYNEL thermal imaging technology provides unique panoramic detection, identification and tracking of multi-target airborne threats like UAV swarming simultaneously. Field-proven, SPYNEL-S's VLRF option is integrated into one single sensor head; the visible and infrared cameras as well as the Laser Range Finder enable for both a better threat identification and the measurement of its exact distance. Ideal for detecting UAVs flying over critical infrastructures, SPYNEL S-VLRF is a rapidly deployable solution and offers HD playback capabilities very useful for forensic analysis. Unlike radars, it is an undetectable fully passive solution, allowing to detect any type of threat day and night.
Drone flyovers are often targeted to collect critical information over large areas. To secure them, multiple security sensors are often requested.
The brand new CYCLOPE Hypervisor is HGH's proprietary remote supervision solution to monitor on one single GUI all the threats detected by multiple SPYNEL 360° IR cameras deployed over one or several critical infrastructures. Using a low bandwidth, CYCLOPE Hypervisor centralizes all alarms and videos and can operate in full coordination with one or several remote-control centers. Typical applications include critical infrastructure protection, airport surveillance, coastal surveillance, VIP procession and border surveillance.

Does Your Actions Tell The World You Are a Christian?
When I was in college there was a guy at the school who made it known that he did not like Christians. Once, myself and some of my friends who were also Christians were eating lunch together. The guy who didn't like Christians walked over and slapped one of my friends on the back of the head real hard and said "what's up preacher man". I guess we all wondered how mike was going to retaliate back. There were probably some of us thinking we would back him up, just in case things got ugly. I could tell that mike was upset, but he kept his composure, asked the guy "how are you doing?" and went back to talking with us. At first I felt like Mike should had turned around and really showed that guy what was up, but the more that I observed him the more I saw Christ in him.
I have heard people say "He's about to make me lose my religion". We use the excuse "God knows we are human" and seem to think that this gives us the right to act out of the Christian character. Mike could have said either one of these things, but instead he choose not to retaliate. I don't believe that Mike was scared of the guy, and he probably could have handled him without any help from us. I do believe his concern was more on representing Christ than responding in a way to make him look bold or strong.
Proverbs 20:22 tells us "Do not say, "I will recompense evil'; Wait for the LORD, and He will save you." This is an easy scripture to quote to someone who is facing a challenging situation with another person, however, when the script flips and it is now yourself dealing with someone who has done you wrong, this same scriptures seems hard to abide by. One of the definitions in the dictionary for recompense means-to return in kind. So the bible is telling us not to say "I'm going to do to them, what they did to me." If your spouse, close friends or family members betray you-do not recompense evil. If someone reveals something about you that was private-do not recompense evil. If someone causes you to lose something that was very important and dear to you-do not recompense evil. When someone embarrasses you or talks bad about you the bible tells us not to recompense evil. When bad things happen to us, it is so easy for the flesh to rise and cause us to act out of character. Even in writing this blog, things that people have done to me comes back to memory and I can feel myself getting upset. It seems like they got away with doing me wrong and I'm not suppose to do anything about it? Now that's a big pill to swallow. However, the bible does tell me to do something. It tells me to wait for the Lord.
In the midst of hard times these words may not sound very encouraging because the only thing on the mind is the injustice that just happened. But if we are going to abide by God's word, we have to cast these thoughts that causes our flesh to rise, down. (casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5 NKJV). This is the first step to quieting the flesh. The second step is doing what the word of God tells us, and that is to wait on Him. God sees everything that we meet. He understands our frustration, our hurt and pain. His word promises us that he will save us. With our actions we choose to either believe his word or not believe it. If we believe him then we will do what he tells us, if not, we will do what the flesh tells us.
With our mouths we say we are followers of Christ, however are actions do speak louder than words. Christians are criticized more than any other group of people in the world. The people of the world are saying we are fakes, phonies, fanatics and a bunch of other things. One reason for this is because are actions are different from our words. It's not what we speak, that draws a person to Christ, it is the life we live. The bible tells us that we are the light of the world, Matthew 5:14. If our actions are doing things that are contrary to God's word, our light is probably very dim.
Every now and then we should ask ourselves "Do my actions, encourage other people to want to know the Lord?" We should ask God to show us ourselves, because sometimes we may not really realize we are acting contrary to God's word. God is faithful, if we turn to him he will help us to live our lives in a way that will influence others to want to come to know Jesus as well.
From my heart to yours, I ask that you please share this message. I know there is someone out there who needs to read it. Thanks in advance!

AtlasGlobal Havacılık A.Ş. (ehemals Atlasjet) war eine türkische Fluggesellschaft mit Sitz in Istanbul und Basis auf dem Flughafen Istanbul, welche am 12. Februar 2020 ihren Flugbetrieb eingestellt hat.

Geschichte
AtlasGlobal wurde am 14. März 2001 als 100-prozentige Tochter der Öger Holding mit dem Namen Atlas International Airways gegründet und nahm den Flugbetrieb am 1. Juni 2001 mit zwei Boeing 757-200 aus den Beständen der deutschen LTU auf. Im September desselben Jahres wurde eine dritte Maschine gleichen Typs übernommen.

Im Mai 2003 wurde die Gesellschaft in Atlasjet umbenannt. Zum 31. Januar 2006 hat die Öger-Gruppe ihre restlichen 45 % Anteile komplett an Atlasjet verkauft.

Im November 2011 unterzeichnete Atlasjet eine Absichtserklärung zur Bestellung von zehn Airbus A220-300.

Am 5. Oktober 2013 wurde die Fluggesellschaft Zagrosjet in der Autonomen Region Kurdistan gegründet und wird von AtlasGlobal betrieben. Es werden unter anderem türkische Ziele angeflogen aber auch Ziele wie zum Beispiel Amman, Beirut und Stockholm.

Noch im selben Jahr wurde AtlasGlobal Ukraine mit Sitz in Lwiw gegründet. Sie führt von Charkiw Flüge nach Istanbul durch.

Seit April 2015 firmiert die Gesellschaft unter dem Namen AtlasGlobal.

Mit der Schließung des Heimatflughafens Istanbul-Atatürk zog AtlasGlobal im April 2019 zum Flughafen Istanbul um.

Am 26. November 2019 kündigte die Fluggesellschaft an, aufgrund von finanziellen Schwierigkeiten den Flugverkehr bis zum 21. Dezember 2019 auszusetzen. Darüber hinaus sollen große Teile der Belegschaft entlassen werden. Bereits im August 2019 waren finanzielle Probleme bekannt geworden, die Gesellschaft schuldete unter anderem dem Flughafen Moskau-Scheremetjewo rund 286.000 Dollar. Im November 2019 gingen bereits mehrere Maschinen zu den Leasinggebern zurück.

Am 21. Dezember 2019 konnte AtlasGlobal den Flugbetrieb mit vier Flugzeugen und einem stark verkleinerten Streckennetz wieder aufnehmen. Im Januar 2020 wurden die beiden Airbus A330-200 an die Leasinggeber retourniert.

Am 12. Februar 2020 vermeldeten türkischen Medien, dass AtlasGlobal in Insolvenz gehen wird und die Mitarbeiter am folgenden Tag nicht mehr zur Arbeit erscheinen bräuchten. Der Flugbetrieb wurde noch am selben Tag eingestellt. Am 14. Februar teilte die türkische Luftfahrtbehörde mit, dass AtlasGlobal den Betrieb endgültig eingestellt hat.

Flugziele
AtlasGlobal flog von Istanbul und Antalya Ziele innerhalb der Türkei und in Europa an.

Im deutschsprachigen Raum wurden Hamburg und Düsseldorf bedient. Des Weiteren wurden weitere saisonale Ziele angeboten.

Flotte

Zum Zeitpunkt der Betriebseinstellung im Februar 2020 bestand die Flotte der AtlasGlobal aus zwei Flugzeugen mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 22,0 Jahren:

Vor der Betriebseinstellung wurden auch folgende Flugzeugmodelle eingesetzt:

 1 Airbus A319-100
 7 Airbus A320-200
 2 Airbus A321-100
 6 Airbus A330-200 (drei geleast von Air Leisure)
 2 Boeing 737-800 (geleast von SunExpress und Somon Air)
 sowie 12 weitere Airbus A321-200

Zwischenfälle

 Am 18. August 2007 wurde eine McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen TC-AKN) auf Atlasjet-Flug 1011 von Zypern nach Istanbul entführt. Die Piloten erklärten den beiden Entführern, dass sie zum Auftanken in Antalya zwischenlanden müssten. Die Entführer trafen eine Vereinbarung mit den türkischen Behörden, woraufhin Frauen und Kinder freigelassen wurden. Die mangelnde Übersicht der Entführer während der Freilassung wurde jedoch auch von den meisten anderen Passagieren und dem Flugpersonal genutzt, um aus der Maschine zu entkommen. Mit nur wenigen verbleibenden Geiseln gaben die Entführer schließlich auf. Der von den Entführern zur Drohung benutzte "Sprengstoff" stellte sich im Nachhinein als harmlose Knetmasse heraus.
 Am 30. November 2007 stürzte eine aus Istanbul kommende McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen TC-AKM) auf Atlasjet-Flug 4203 beim Anflug auf die im Südwesten der Türkei gelegene Stadt Isparta ab. Dabei kamen alle 57 Insassen, 50 Passagiere und 7 Besatzungsmitglieder, ums Leben.

Q: Проблема с задачей У меня есть задача:
В семье физика-нанотехнолога Дианы готовятся к наступлению Нового года. Чтобы полако- миться в новогоднюю ночь, Диана испекла для двух её лучших друзей — Вовы и Гриши — пирог в форме правильного многоугольника с n сторонами.
Тут она вспомнила, что Вове нравятся пироги в виде a-угольников (необязательно правильных), а Грише — пироги в виде b-угольников. Может ли Диана одним разрезом ножа разделить её пирог на две части, представляющие собой многоугольники ненулевой площади, в одном из которых a сторон, а в другом b сторон?
Примеры:
Ввод:
4
3
3
Вывод:
YES
Ввод:
4
4
4
Вывод:
YES
Мой код:
cake = int(input())
cake1 = int(input())
cake2 = int(input())
if cake1 == cake2 or cake - cake1 - cake2 == 0:
    print("YES")
else:
    print("NO")

что не так?

A: начнем с того, что в вашей программе надо вводить 3 слова одно за другим через Ввод
а в примере требуется ввести все три числа одной строкой
поэтому
cake = int(input())
cake1 = int(input())
cake2 = int(input())

надо бы заменить на
cake, cake1, cake2 = map(int, input().split())

кроме того у вас одно из успешных условий выглядит как:
cake1 == cake2

а теперь представьте, что Вова и Гриша любят 3-угольные пироги, а Диана испекла 100-угольный пирог
ваше условие говорит, что 100-угольный пирог можно разделить на 2 3-угольные пирога
а это так?


On my way to Europe, I stopped in New York. And there was a reason for this. I had an important task to take care of, one that's been nagging me for quite awhile.
Back in 2003, I went to Connecticut to work at a trade show. The jump in/jump out point was JFK Airport in New York. The show wrapped up on a Saturday night, but my flight back to Canada didn't leave until Sunday night. With a day to kill, I figured out how to get to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan and spent a glorious few hours roaming its beautiful rooms, joyfully basking in some of the world's greatest art.
At the time, though, things were not so great in my life. There was man trouble, but worse, as a freelance graphic artist, I was perpetually, miserably broke. When I handed over my credit card to pay for a few small souvenirs, I held my breath because I wasn't 100% sure it would go through.
Now, if you've ever been to the Museum, one of its great treasures is the Temple of Dendur. It's an Ancient Egyptian temple, gifted to the U.S. government by the Egyptian government. It was dis-assembled, shipped to the U.S. (don't ask me how) and then re-assembled in its very own room in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The minute you walk into that room, you feel an immediate sense of calm. Because it's set off by itself, all of the ambient noise falls away and you find yourself in a peaceful, tranquil oasis.
Fast forward to 2014. I was now on my way to summer school in Europe, but I'd arranged my travels so that I could stop overnight in New York. I got up early, and got to the Museum just as it opened. I picked up a map, and made my way over to the wing where the Temple of Dendur is housed.
When I walked into the room, I took a deep breath — and immediately started to cry.
I had kept my promise. It had actually happened. Things had gotten better and I had finally come back – to the very same spot — to give thanks.
That morning, I'd tucked eleven pennies into one of my pockets – one for every year since 2003. When I was ready, I pulled them out and tossed them all in at once with a whispered "thank you".
I thought it was a good idea to add a little extra oomph to my gratitude, so there was a dollar in quarters in my other pocket. Those went into the pool next.
Now at this point, you're probably thinking I'm crazy. Who goes all the way to New York to throw $1.11 in change into a museum display? I mean, seriously?
And if you think I'm crazy, I'll admit that there are instances where I might agree with you. But — for whatever reason — getting myself back to that room in the Museum became really important to me.
For many of us, keeping a promise to ourselves is so much harder than keeping one to someone else. Especially if the promise is a little wacky. Or expensive.
But I can't tell you how satisfied it made me feel to realize that I had actually done something I said I was going to do — even though I'd made the promise at a time when I couldn't imagine how or when I'd be able to deliver the goods.
That, my friends, is definitely worth $1.11.
And now, today's travel hacking tips. In my last post, I was busy crowing about the cheap, fast and easy method of using public transit to get from La Guardia Airport to Manhattan.
However, when I tried making the return trip, I discovered that a power outage in Brooklyn had caused severe delays on the subway line I needed. Oops.
Once the bus arrived, it did get me to La Guardia in 45 minutes, but not before I'd made a panicky call to Air Canada, wondering how late I could check in and not miss my flight. (And because I don't have US roaming on my phone, that toll-free call cost me an extra $14.87.) You'll find terrible reviews for the NYC Airporter on Trip Advisor and I'm sorry to say that they've earned them.
Avoid the NYC Airporter unless you absolutely have to use it.
In both cases, leave yourself plenty of time for something to go wrong.
And always have a Plan B.
Love your blog! Love it, love it, love it. You're a damn good writer, so of course I'm jealous and absolutely hate it. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Thanks, Sally. Keep 'em coming.

Woody Allen Is Back With "To Rome with Love"
HollywoodNews.com: On the heels of releasing the award-winning and commercial hit, Midnight in Paris, Sony Pictures Classics announced that on June 22 it will release Woody Allen's latest film, the newly titled TO ROME WITH LOVE.
TO ROME WITH LOVE was a name selected as an homage to the eternal city of Rome where the film was shot on location last summer. This will be used for its worldwide release. The film's former title, Nero Fiddled, while an appropriate and humorous phrase in the U.S., is not a familiar expression overseas and many international territories preferred a more globally understood name.
Written and directed by Woody Allen, TO ROME WITH LOVE is a story about a number of people in Italy — some American, some Italian, some residents, some visitors — and the romances and adventures and predicaments they get into. The film stars Allen, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penélope Cruz, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig and Ellen Page. TO ROME WITH LOVE is a Gravier Productions film produced by Letty Aronson and Stephen Tenenbaum, and financed by the Italian production and distribution company, Medusa Film.

Day 5, Thursday 2nd Nov: They stayed in the tents for the morning awaiting the horses. But as the clock ticked past noon, they started being worried. By one they began making emergency plans as they would run out of food later in the day; two should go up to the depot layed down the day before in the Keyhole to fetch some food, and others descend to a cabin further down. This can be seen from the settlement by the lake, and the plan was to lit a fire and use the smoke to attract attention.
Luckily it all came to nought as the horses arrived at 14:00!
They quickly packed up and started the last push to the depot. They almost reached up, camped at the entrance to the Keyhole, but were happy with that. Tomorrow the plan is to push through and get the camp onto snow!

Student SuccessGlobal Classroom
For This Well Traveled WYVA Student, the World is his Classroom
Global Classroom, Military
WYVA student Raphel Tucker at Cinque Terre, Italy
Written by Jenna Needham
Being in a military family means that there is a possibility that your family will have to frequently move. What people don't realize is that the children of these families often have trouble maintaining a stable education. This was the case for Raphel Tucker before joining Wyoming Virtual Academy (WYVA).
After living in Japan for the first seven years of his life, Raphel's father, who is a master sergeant in the Air Force, was re-stationed to Wyoming. After starting 2nd grade at his new brick and mortar school, his teachers quickly noticed that Raphel was too advanced for 2nd grade and wanted to move him to the 4th grade at only 7 years old.
"We didn't want to do that to him. We recently moved from another Air Force base and he was just getting adjusted to his new classroom, but we also didn't want him to be bored in school and not challenged enough," said Raphel's mother, Tina.
This situation made Tina look into other schooling options that may better suit Raphel. Together, they thoroughly researched alternative schools and found that WYVA could be the perfect fit. They applied and enrolled as soon as they could and he has been there ever since.
"Raphel can work at an advanced pace and is constantly stimulated and learning. There are many classes for him to choose from including AP and honors courses. He pretty much can take as many classes and electives as he can handle," Tina explained. "Even though he has Class Connect lectures he attends with multiple students, he benefits from the one-on-one attention from his teachers, as well as from teacher office hours for further guidance if need be."
When Raphel's father began getting stationed around the world again, WYVA was there to provide an educational option that was the best fit for the family. In 2011, his family moved to Aviano, Italy, where they are currently stationed, and Raphel was able to make the transcontinental move without interfering with his education.
After settling in Italy, Raphel began to travel even more frequently to fully experience Europe. He began to visit the historic landmarks and make connections to what he was learning in his coursework.
"Traveling has been an amazing partnership with his education," Tina said. "He not only read about Auschwitz, he went there! He walked the vast camp, and even walked through an original train car. In Belgium he walked through the German tunnel system of Hitler's Atlantic wall. In Amsterdam, he stood in the same room Anne Frank and her family were hidden in for years. He saw the beginnings of ancient civilizations in Malta. He has been inside the apartment where Mozart composed some of his most famous pieces in Vienna, and visited his birthplace in Salzburg. He has walked through the ancient Colosseum in Rome where gladiators fought. He has gazed upon Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the statue of David."
At 16 years old, Raphel has traveled all around the world visiting 23 countries in total. WYVA's network of teachers, curriculum and resources has been there every step of the way.
"The sheer fact that he is able to use WYVA coupled with the fact that we are stationed and live overseas has enriched his life incredibly," said Tina.
In December, the family will be moving to England and Raphel will seamlessly continue his education with WYVA. Even though his location is ever-changing, WYVA will always be a constant for him.

In 2010, thousands of feet in the air above Singapore, the 469 passengers aboard QF32 found themselves in a crisis that no one could have anticipated when the A380 in which they were flying suffered a catastrophic explosion.
Captain Richard de Crespigny and his crew confronted extraordinary challenges over the next four hours, with only three partially working engines, and a potentially explosive plane facing an imminent emergency landing. Even experienced crash investigators later revealed they thought recovery in such circumstances was impossible. Yet in the end all aboard walked away safely.
Why was there a seemingly miraculous outcome to what could so easily have become one of the world's worst aviation disasters? And how did the captain and his crew remain so calm in such a stressful situation? The answer is leadership, teamwork and skill.
In Fly!, Richard de Crespigny shares the insights and techniques he built up over decades in the high-pressure world of military and civilian aviation. Covering leadership, teamwork, risk assessment, decision-making, crisis management, lifelong resilience and more, it's a book whose wisdom can be applied to challenges and opportunities in the workplace as well as to life. Including exclusive insights from fellow hero pilot Sully Sullenberger, astronaut Neil Armstrong, NASA's Gene Kranz and others who have, like Richard de Crespigny, succeeded under intense pressure, Fly! will enable everybody to perform at their best and to succeed in any situation.
Excellent book packed with practical tips and strategies. Outstanding voice narration and production. Bonus anecdotes make this a must for aeroheads and engineers!
Exellent book, but narrator's voice put me to sleep. Lessons for all industries including healthcare.

Madoff's Stuff: An Auction Reveals His Passion For Shoes : The Picture Show This past weekend, Bernie Madoff's belongings were auctioned off. The proceeds of more than $2 million will go to Madoff's swindled clients.
It's always a good day when the first e-mail in my inbox is about shoes. And despite this note being about men's shoes, I was still fascinated to watch a piece by Kinga Kenig, a photo editor for the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza. It shows the former possessions of infamous Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff, and ticks through image after image of watches, jewelry, televisions and more shoes than a person could wear in a year.
Madoff Auction from kinga kenig on Vimeo.
The auction of Madoff's belongings captured the fascination of Kenig, who is currently living and working in West Hartford, Conn. Last week she read about it in the Wall Street Journal, hopped a bus to New York and headed over to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the preview.
"It was like walking into a big, exclusive thrift store whose customers spoke different languages," Kenig said.
Her multimedia piece uses pictures from the auction catalog and interviews with auctioneers. The result is comical, mind-blowing and, ultimately, sad. It's a look into the shopping habits, the values and the fall of a man obsessed with possessions.
Last weekend the goods were sold by Gaston & Sheehan auction house for the U.S. Marshals Service. The proceeds of more than $2 million will go to Madoff's swindled clients.
