Today is a Joyful Day!
I loved watching this peacock wandering around the zoo yesterday, it reminded me of a park we frequented in Austin that had peacocks and peahens wandering around in it. We had some wonderful times there.
Today was a lovely day. It started with sleeping in a bit and some chocolate chip pecan pie for my breakfast. (The girls had healthy breakfasts) How can a day that starts with chocolate chip pecan pie be anything other than amazing?
BG, MG, and I were baptized this morning, which was a truly amazing experience. My heart felt so warm, and I felt such joy! The girls described it very similarly. LG is not old enough to be baptized (you need to be 8 ), but she watched happily. One of my step-brothers came to the baptism, as did my dear friend Nanny Ogg and some new friends from our church family. It was an experience I can't describe well, because it was just so awesome.
My step-brother came back to visit with us at the house for a few minutes (and did some guy work of removing some proof that our cat is a huntress). After he left we had some lunch & desserts, and then Nanny Ogg arrived and agreed to eat some dessert. Then, of course, we went geocaching! We found 3 caches, and also found a path that led to another 3 caches, but figured 11 minutes until sunset wasn't enough sunlight to to walk a half-mile and search for caches. We saved that path for next time. We figured that finding the cache from the place we were kicked out of last time was good enough.
LG spent all day asking to go to the grocery store and get chips, so after our geocaching, we went to the store to buy the 4 major food groups – soda, potato chips, bananas, and hot dogs. Those supplement the full pantry and freezer. Eggs would've been a smart idea too, but since we have the van!, we can get more Monday.
Finishing the day with some turkey noodle soup (with nummy turkey stock) and some experimental cinnamon-craisin bread was perfect. And more chocolate chip pecan pie, of course!
Today was a joyful day, and I am so grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, food, and our new church! May all of you have many days filled with joy!

Q: Call a function by input type submit with the value of another input element I have this code that calls a function on key up but I don't want it to be called so often because if you enter a domain name keyup is triggered very often, so I made a submit button but I don't know how I can call the function with the value of the first input tag.. I did that with this.value first but that probably won't work on the other element. Thanks for any help
<form>
Hostname: <input type="text" id="input" onkeyup="ping(this.value)">
<input type="submit">
</form>

A: how I can call the function with the value of the first input tag..
You can try querySelector() that matches the first element:
document.querySelector('input[type=text]').value

Demo:

function ping(v){
  console.log(v)
}

Gimle (Gimlé) oder Gimli ist in der nordischen Mythologie der Ort, wo die Überlebenden des Ragnarök hinkommen. Er ist in der Prosa-Edda und im Völuspá erwähnt. Er gilt dort als der schönste Ort im Asgard und sogar schöner als die Sonne.

Der norwegische faschistische Politiker und Ministerpräsident Vidkun Quisling (1887–1945) benannte seine Osloer Residenz, die Villa Grande in Anlehnung an diese Mythologie in Gimle.

Let me start at the beginning with box #1. I didn't take pictures at the time, but have a lot to say about the whole experience. Back in May, I signed up through their website and answered surprisingly few questions about my measurements, sizes I typically wore, and what I was looking for. They then make you set up a Skype call with one of their 3 stylists before they'll send you your first box, so I set that up for the first week of May. For me, the call was a little awkward and incredibly short. I expected her to ask me more questions but it was very brief and felt like she was rushing to get off the call with me. At the time I chalked it up to her possibly having another appointment she needed to get to. The things we did cover were the fact that she should avoid picking bottoms for me because of my hard to fit pear shape, and I was looking for neutral toned casual clothing, and some cute patterned blouses. Before we hung up she told me I could expect to receive my first box within 2-3 weeks. Fast forward to 4 weeks later, and it finally arrived. I had been so anxiously awaiting my first box and don't know why it took so long but I was excited nevertheless.
Then I opened the box. Inside were items that showed she didn't necessarily listen to my requests, since she sent some pretty bright stuff when I had asked for neutral colors. Sadly, only ONE of the items even fit. The rest of it was way too small and extremely fitted up top which does not work for pear shapes. I had listed my measurements accurately and given the sizes I wear at the stores I typically shop at like Ann Taylor Loft and Banana Republic (and made a note of this on my profile). I was not familiar with the brands they send, and apparently they ran much smaller. Overall I was left feeling fat and sad that nothing fit except one solid colored rose silk blouse that I ended up keeping.
Before I could send anything back, I needed to schedule another Skype call to go over what I liked and didn't like. The stylist ended up calling me from her car 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment which was fine since I happened to be around. I then shared my feedback with her about sizes, and she was surprisingly terse about it, suggesting that I had provided the wrong size in my information, telling me that "those" stores have vanity sizing that is way off. (Even though I declared that's what I was referring to in my profile.) Then when I told her the belt she sent was actually too big to wear around my waist, she seemed disgusted and asked me how I tried to wear it, "did you actually try to close it?" No, I have no idea how to work these complex contraptions, how did I get out of bed today?? So I had to get up and physically prove to her on the monitor, that once the belt had been properly fastened around my waist, there was about 10 inches of excess room. She told me she didn't think they made belts any smaller than that, and it was an impossible ask. (Well, I found one at Anthropologie a week later so it wasn't that hard.) There was also a dress that was so skin tight I couldn't fit it over my hips (did I mention I'm a pear shape??) and she seemed annoyed when I told her that as well. In our discussion and in my profile, I made it very clear that I couldn't wear short skirts or dresses to work, and needed them to be close to knee length so I tried to tell her that again when she asked me if I actually put it on. Yes, I did, and it was too short and didn't fit around my hips. In all, I think the awkward call lasted a whole of 5 minutes before she told me she'd send the next box soon after I returned everything, and this time we'd go with a size medium in tops. I again asked her to focus on neutral colored casual clothing since that's what I'd like to wear the majority of the time.
I had read so many reviews ahead of time about Tog + Porter, and many had mentioned that it felt like "chatting with a new girlfriend". Well for me, it felt more like being dressed down from one of the put together girls from middle school. (No pun intended.) I just felt rather deflated and sad about the whole ordeal.
Since I did like some of the clothes she picked that were just too small, I decided to try it for a second time and hoped that my bad experience was just a one off. I told her to go ahead and put my order in for the next one during our last call, which was the last week of May. Then one month passed. No box, so I decided to contact her to see what was going on. For this exchange, she had no explanation and just asked me to be patient and she'd be in touch when it was on it's way. Two more weeks, no box. I contacted her again, and she said they were moving the main office and to be patient because she'd send it as soon as she could. Two MORE weeks, and it was now officially 8 weeks after the last Skype call, and no box. We had talked about summer clothes during our last chat, and I realized that almost the entire season had passed already with very few weeks left of warm weather here in the Pacific Northwest. Feeling resigned, I finally contacted her a last time and told her that if she thought she could get the box to me in the next few days then we could go ahead, otherwise the investment in summer clothes wasn't going to be worth it and I wanted to cancel my order. Within a few hours, I got an email back from her apologizing and telling me that she contacted the main office and the box would be shipped that night and on my doorstep the next day. (A Saturday.) The main office then sent me an email apologizing for the delay, because when they switched offices my order fell through the cracks. (Even though I emailed twice to inquire about the status? So much for the squeaky wheel.) They offered me a $25 credit for the delay, which was nice but didn't really make up for it.
So Saturday arrives, as does my second box. It's the standard medium flat rate box from the post office, and weighs a ton so I can tell they crammed a bunch of stuff in there. (12 items to be exact.) I open it and it's just wrapped in their chevron patterned tissue paper, with no personalized note or anything, just the receipt and return label for what I don't want to keep.
I'm still hopeful at this point so I eagerly pull out the contents and lay them out. The colors are nice, but not exactly "neutral". I like the yellow and orange.
Here are all of the items one by one.
The yellow skirt was a lovely color and the fit was okay for my shape. It was a little shorter than I'd like and I'm not sure if I could really wear it to work and feel comfortable, but maybe I'll give it a try.
I also liked the pattern of this sleeveless top and think it will look cute under jackets and cardigans. By itself it sort of looks like a pregnancy top. At least the pattern is nice and the colors are neutral.
And last, I decided to keep the necklace. It was pretty simple and I liked the gold and silver accents. So out of 12 pieces I decided to keep 4. Now to the bad and the ugly.
Tied for first place of the worst fitting items were the "boyfriend" style jeans. (Maybe if my boyfriend was 10 sizes smaller than me? I'm picturing Eric Foreman from that 70's show…) They were a little loose around the waist, and so tight on the legs that I literally could not bend my knees. Also, whiskers at the hips? That is the worst choice for a person with a pear shape or more weight in their lower half. It draws attention there and makes you look even more disproportionate. Major fail here.
Then the rest of the items were just sort of "blah" or unflattering. This blazer did not have enough definition at the waist to flatter my upper half, and the white blouse was just okay, hitting at a not great spot on my hips. Also it was 49.00 for a tank like blouse which seemed really expensive for what it was.
Next up, we have the "hoochi" skirt. It was so short, it barely covered my bottom in the back, and made me look as wide as a truck. The picture doesn't really reflect just how short this was, and I'm not sharing a picture of the back, because its just too scary and offensive to the eye.
Next was the khaki sleeveless blouse that blended in with my skin tone and made me look rather sickly. Also it was 49.00 and I felt like I could get something identical at H&M for much cheaper.
And last we have what I'm calling the "mullet blouse". It's extremely boring and button up in the front, and then has the crazy twists in the back. Not to mention it's sheer and see through so I needed to wear a tank underneath so you wouldn't see my bra, but then that shows up in the back.
Overall, it felt like my requests weren't really heard. I still received some size small items, the items were not very casual, and they lacked the modesty I prefer for work wear. I do not have the kind of life where I'm out at the bar on weekends, or sipping mojitos on a beach with girlfriends. (What I imagined you'd do in the maxi dress if you were fabulously skinny and stick straight.) I was just looking for pieces to wear to my casual environment job, and for weekends spent shopping and running errands. To me, Tog + Porter felt less personalized then Stitch Fix. It seems like maybe they have a set of items that they send to all clients, regardless of their taste and preference and hope that they'll just stick with some of what they see. More of a one size fits all approach. I specifically said no bottoms, and yet received capri jeans and two skirts. Also there were no personal touches to this box. No notes or anything. Stitch Fix has the outfit cards which were incredibly helpful and give you ideas for how to wear things you might not otherwise have though of. Stitch Fix had asked how much I wanted to cover certain areas of my body, and respected those choices well. I felt like they had the appropriate level of modesty and style. I don't see myself as extremely conservative, there are just parts of my body I'd rather not expose because I'm not particularly fond of them and just feel more comfortable covering up.
For our last call (which was required in order to send items back) she seemed a lot more friendly and was apologetic about the delay. It sounds like they must be doing really well and were just experiencing a backup with all of their customers requests. She gave me some general ideas about what to wear with the pieces I kept, and I might try some of them out, but in general it was just things I probably would have tried on my own. She was suggesting adding a lot of color, but that's something I'm trying to get away from. The people in my office just really don't wear color. It's mostly grey and black and jeans so I try to wear neutral outfits that don't stand out quite so much. I still want to be fashionable, but I don't want to draw all eyes in a meeting room.
So was it worth the 8 week wait? Not for me. This box will probably end my journey with Tog + Porter, and I'll continue to go with Stitch Fix for now. In general it's a cool idea, and I love getting a box full of surprises in the mail, but I think I'll pass on Tog + Porter for now.


Our dual caliper rear brake kit for the 2015+ Mustang features a machined aluminum dual caliper bracket and rotor hat. These items utilize Wilwood brake components to complete the kit (sold separately). The rotor hat allows you to run either 1/2-20, 14mm or 5/8 lug studs and is both hub centric and lug centric so there is no slop in rotor alignment. *This kit does require the removal of the top mounting ear on each rear spindle for the factory caliper.

Bahraini Oil, American Water
Toby Jones
The Bahrain Grand Prix is this weekend. Since 2011 the ruling elite, propped up by the best mercenaries that oil money can buy, have systematically hollowed out one of the Gulf's most robust civil societies. In response to urgent calls for democracy and popular protests three years ago by tens of thousands of people, the al-Khalifa family and their backers in Riyadh have violently oppressed their way to survival.
Because the country's disempowered Shiite minority is heavily represented in the political opposition, Bahrain's rulers have tried to reframe the dispute as rooted in reactionary religiosity, claiming that calls for democracy are distractions from aspirations to an Iranian-style theocracy. Having marked the conflict as sectarian, the authorities in Manama have set about targeting Shiites, institutionalising torture and dispensing collective punishment. Bahrain is now an apartheid state, with roving bands of security forces curtailing Shiite movements, routinely cloaking villages in tear gas, and rounding up protesters. Police have detained hundreds of people, most of them young boys who pass their time with an eye toward every evening's 9.00 o'clock clash with the police.
During his trip to Riyadh last Friday, President Obama did not raise the matter of rights abuses in either Saudi Arabia or Bahrain, where the al-Saud exert tremendous influence. British officials have also resisted calls to reflect more critically on their close ties to the al-Khalifa. The unwillingness to push Bahrain and its regional patrons too hard is typically explained by linked concerns around energy and regional stability. The regimes in Manama and Riyadh are said to be the least bad actors in a difficult neighborhood, the best partners the West can hope for, and too important to the global economy to challenge on their troubling domestic habits. These claims obscure more than they reveal, however.
Officials in Washington and London see Bahrain and its allies in the region as places flush with oil money that both public and private capital in the West hope to harness. Formula One drivers and organisers are fêted by Bahraini magnates who pour cash into the coffers of global sport in an effort that is partly about managing the regime's public relations image and partly about ostentatious display. Formula One's officials say the crackdown on dissent is none of their business, even though they not only help to prop up the tyranny, but profit from it.
Western arms merchants' profits from the sale of weapons to Arab oil producing states are staggering: tens of billions of dollars are spent annually. The Americans are the biggest pedlars of weapons for petrodollars, but the British, Canadian and French authorities have also kept silent on the region's political abuses in order to secure their access to the world's most lucrative arms bazaar. Washington and London are not just looking away. Rather, they are complicit in and have helped build the political order that rests on oppression and the indefinite detention of hundreds of children.
Criticism of the West can lapse into a kind of security analysis itself, suggesting that Manama's iron fist will lead to radicalisation and future threats to regional stability, or even future generations of terrorists. This may or may not be true. For the most part, Bahrain's protest movement has not embraced widespread violence, though police have been killed by bombs, and there are threats of more to come.
There is a place for such analysis, though it tends to draw attention away from what's happening in Bahrain now. Last week I received an email from the father of Abdallah Madan, a 17-year-old Bahraini-American citizen, who was arrested for protesting in early March. He has been beaten, his nose has been broken, and there is no sign of his being released any time soon. US embassy officials were made to wait three weeks before being allowed to see him, and have so far not made his case a priority. Meanwhile, Abdallah has asked his father to take up the cause of more than 450 other children languishing in Manama's prisons for standing up to autocracy.
Reflecting on how all this came tabout, Madan wrote that they often told Abdallah that his support for democracy was because 'he drank a lot of American water' when he was a small child in Virginia. The US authorities would do well to drink some more of that water, too.

Here we go again with the Apartheid comparison. I agree there is discrimination (which appears to go both ways by the way, there are many government organizations that have majority Shiite employment), but Apartheid is a system of racial segregation (not religious/ideological) but racial). In any case you cannot fine one single case of where people are being segregated based on their ethnicity (or even religion for that matter). Yes there are cases where people are being discriminated against based on these things, but never segregated. You will fins fewer Shiites in police/armed forces but there are some. If your criticism is going to be Amy effect please let it be based on reality.
This apartheid comparison is a means the opposition use to justify their violence, and Western enablers of these groups (most of which are sectarian in nature no matter what you say) are helping them to justify this violence.
According to the independent Bassiouni commission:
International media "portrayed the Shia community as victimised which was inaccurate … and gave rise to bias against Sunnis and gave Shia a justification to commit violence against Sunnis".
By making such baseless comparisons you are not only insulting the victims of real Apartheid, you are also contributing to the schism in Bahrain society. The truth is there is discrimination (not all directed at one particular group) and much of what you mentioned about security restrictions are true but Bahrain is still a place where there are opportunities for all.

Thomas Fowler says:
As has already been said if there was a single example of anything like "apartheid" in Bahrain Toby Jones would have cited it to support this claim. Jones knows the power of the word so he's introducing it into the article but he's got no intention of backing it up.
When did the LRB become a conduit for this blatant goodies and baddies propaganda? The same type of analysis employed here was employed in the run up to the Iraq war in 2003, when liberal academics assured us that the Iraqi opposition was made up of human rights activists and liberal democrats. Any contradictions were left out to give a nice rosy picture when it came to Ahmed Chalabi et al - exactly what Jones provides here in this article on Bahrain.
The LRB should be calling bullshit on this approach to politics not publishing it.

Q: Tkinter - how do I teleport mouse pointer I am making a graphics editor in Python/Tkinter, and I want to accomplish 2 things:

*

*Detect mouse movement without actually moving the pointer. I figured that every time I get a 'mouse moved' event I would calculate the delta of the pointer and then snap it back to previous position.

*Loop the pointer around the screen edges.
Is there a way to set the position of the mouse pointer? I am making it in Linux but ideally it should be cross-platform.


1. Go to bed. I find this to be the easiest way to get ideas. Drift off to that purgatory between sleep and wakefulness. Think about your characters, your plot, or your problem that can't be solved during the daylight hours no matter how hard you try (or don't try, I think that is my problem).
Inevitably, ideas will start to come to you just when you want to fall asleep. This is where the little notebook and pen on your bedside stand come in mighty handy. You will probably be wide awake after you get your good idea. You may even have to go fire up your computer again.
2. People watch. It's a great way to work on you characterization. Is that male lead just not fleshing out believably?
Go to Walmart and take in the sights. If you're looking for some character flaws, the mom whose kid knocks over a jar of pickles and she just wheels off without telling anyone could spark an idea. The guy trying on ladies hats when he thinks no one is looking seems like a fun person. The anorexic/bulimic teenager wolfing down Ho Hos behind a clothes rack before she runs to the bathroom to vomit them up is intriguing. Look around you; the freaks abound and they are fun to play with.
3. Read a book. I'm not saying rip it off, I'm just saying that a break from the head-pounding might give your wee little brain a chance to chill out, start firing off on some different neural passages than the tried and true, beaten down ones you've been stomping away at.
4. Vacation! Sit on a beach with your notebook. If that doesn't grease the idea skids, I don't know what will. Can't get away at the moment? Hang up your hammock and take a ten minute swing. Draw a bath and soak for a few. Stick a little umbrella in your margarita.
5. Have a few of those margaritas. Ideas will pop up like dandelions. Not all will be viable when the high wears off, but some might be saved for future use.
6. Watch a movie. That's all.
7. Stuck in a rut? Think of something really nasty-mean to do to your character(s). See what they do when they're bit by a venomous scorpion. Have them catch their spouse cheating. They're out of Lucky Charms and it's breakfast time!!!!! Do they go on a killing rampage or just go to the store? It is a true test of character to let them react to a situation.
8. Eat chocolate. It's sure fire. Or maybe just delicious.
9. Exercise. You need to after all of the chocolate and alcohol anyway. Go for a walk, a run, a yoga video. Best to be done alone, otherwise you're just gossiping with your girlfriend or listening to your four-year old whine about how long it is taking you to do your workout and how he needs more fruit snacks.
10. Listen to music! This is my favorite way to be inspired. I have a soundtrack for just about every piece of writing I do. Sometimes my story is born of a song. Sometimes I think of the perfect music to go with a particular character or plot line as I go. Playing those songs inevitably gets me in the mood to build on that world or story line.
Try it. Better yet, try it with that margarita while swinging on your hammock. Take a box of Ho Hos and your little notebook and you'll be brainstorming in no time.
If not, at least it will still be a good time.

About Us Recent News 2020 October St. Margaret's and IVCH Sign Definitive Agreement to Affiliate
New regional health network will strengthen health care in the Illinois Valley
SPRING VALLEY, Illinois (October 14, 2020) - St. Margaret's Health in Spring Valley, a member of SMP Health System, and Illinois Valley Community Hospital (IVCH) in Peru have signed a binding Definitive Agreement to consolidate their healthcare operations to form a regional health network. The new organization will be governed by SMP Health System through a new regional parent company, which will have board members representing the local communities historically served by the two health systems.
"We are extremely pleased that IVCH has chosen to partner with St. Margaret's and the SMP Health System. SMP Health System is looking forward to working with our IVCH colleagues to create a vibrant healthcare network which will better serve the needs of the Illinois Valley community," said Aaron K. Alton, President/CEO SMP Health System. "This new partnership will also help to expand the Mission of the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation."
"Our collective efforts will allow us to better address the challenges we face in today's healthcare climate," said Tim Muntz, St. Margaret's President/CEO. "This affiliation allows us the opportunity to enhance our operations and services, while also exploring the possibilities of bringing additional services to our community."
"Joining St. Margaret's and SMP Health System provides us the best opportunity to preserve the care provided by IVCH and ensure the health needs of our community will be met long into the future," said Tommy Hobbs, CEO at IVCH. "Nothing is more important to us than the well-being of those we serve."
Both St. Margaret's and IVCH have recently submitted Certificate of Exemption applications to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board (IHFSRB), for a change of ownership. After the affilation is complete, IVCH will be known as St. Margaret's Health - Peru. Likewise, St. Margaret's Hospital will be known as St. Margaret's Health - Spring Valley.
St. Margaret's and IVCH intend to finalize their affiliation by the end of this year, pending approval by the IHFSRB. Once the affiliation is complete, the combined entities will conduct a thorough assessment of both facilities, the services provided and the needs of the communities that they serve. It is anticipated that the full integration of the two organizations will take one to two years.

What has been announced?
St. Margaret's Health and IVCH have signed a binding Definitive Agreement to form a regional health network as part of SMP Health System. By coming together, we will be able to offer excellent healthcare close to home and ensure a thriving health system to serve our community long into the future.
This announcement comes after an extensive amount of due diligence. The best interests of our patients, medical staff, employees, and our communities have been driving our decisions throughout this process.
What are the goals of this affiliation?
St. Margaret's Health and IVCH have each served this region for more than 100 years. We recognized that coming together is in the best interest of our patients, given the dramatic changes in the healthcare delivery system. By combining our operations, we will be able to provide more high-quality, efficient and locally coordinated care for our patients.
Our two hospitals support a shared vision for efficiently delivering high-quality healthcare in the region. We already successfully collaborate on joint initiatives, such as Valley Regional Health Services and Valley Regional Cancer Center. The residents of our communities have also long encouraged our hospitals to work more closely together.
Together, we will form a sustainable regional health network that will be able to meet the health needs of our communities, today and long into the future.
What led to this decision?
As you know, today's healthcare environment and the delivery of care have evolved significantly in recent years. Stand-alone hospitals need to think strategically and be fiscally responsible to survive.
Thanks to advances in healthcare, we are able to care for more people on an outpatient basis. People who do need to spend the night in the hospital generally have shorter stays than in years past. This shift places added pressures on small community hospitals, like St. Margaret's and IVCH. Additional expertise, resources and partnerships are also necessary to implement new population health initiatives that address the health needs of entire communities.
After an extensive review of the hospital's options dating back to 2017, the IVCH Board and leadership team determined that a mutually-beneficial affiliation with another health system would allow IVCH to preserve and enhance the clinical services available to the residents of the Illinois Valley. IVCH approached St. Margaret's to consider an affiliation.
St. Margaret's and IVCH announced our intent to affiliate in March 2019. Since then, we have been exploring what an affiliation would mean for our organizations, our patients, and our communities. Our conversations were paused at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, but the experience of a global pandemic has only made our resolve to come together stronger.
As a single organization, we can achieve the scale necessary to expand our clinical programs, recruit physicians and staff, attract patients and, most importantly, provide the highest quality care for our patients close to home.
Nothing will change immediately.
We have submitted Certificate of Exemption applications for a change of ownership to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board. Applications were filed for both IVCH and St. Margaret's to reflect the new integrated health system. With regulatory approval, we expect our affiliation to be finalized on December 31, 2020.
A local Board of community leaders will continue to guide the new integrated system. Our two hospitals will be known as St. Margaret's Health-Spring Valley and St. Margaret's Health-Peru.
Once our affiliation is completed, we will conduct a thorough assessment of both facilities, services provided, and our community's needs. It is too soon to know when service line expansions or consolidations, capital investments or other changes, may happen and what they would look like.
We expect the full integration of our two organizations to take one to two years.
What will this mean for patients?
St. Margaret's Health and IVCH will work collaboratively to offer comprehensive, high-quality services so our patients can receive the care they need close to home. We can do this more effectively working together than apart.
We intend to make this process as smooth as possible for our patients, staff and communities. Our patients will be able to expect superior healthcare delivered in the same compassionate manner. Patients will continue to have access to their same care providers.
What services will the health network provide?
The new regional health network will look to grow and enhance the healthcare services available in our community. After the transaction's closing, we will be reviewing what the best inpatient and outpatient models will be for the new integrated network. We intend to continue operating both campuses.
Will IVCH follow the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs)?
As an affiliate of SMP Health System, IVCH will abide by the ERDs.
When will more information be available?
SMP Health System, St. Margaret's Health and IVCH are committed to sharing information throughout this process. We look forward to sharing an update once the affiliation has been approved by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board in the next month or two.
We remain optimistic about the opportunity an affiliation presents, to better serve our communities. We are grateful for your ongoing support.

BEFORE WATCHMEN: RORSCHACH #1
Writer: Brian Azzarello
Art: Lee Bermejo & Barbara Ciardo
Matt C: I would imagine this was the Before Watchmen title that ranked as the most anticipated for many – Rorschach is a fan-favourite character, possibly because his relentless drive in the original book is something familiar from a lot of prominent superheroes that have kept the industry alive for many, many years. The Azzarello/Bermejo combo appears faultless at first glance, as they both bring a sense of realism to a genre that sometimes eschews it, and considering the character, and the milieu he operates in, that's exactly what you'd think was needed. And yeah, this debut issue works as a gritty crime/superhero mashup on some levels, but on others – and the ones that probably matter most – it doesn't. Rorschach succeeds as a character in Watchmen because of his single-minded purpose – he will stop at nothing to do what (he thinks) needs to be done, and it's his actions that propel the overall narrative. He works in this context because of the gradual reveal of his past and his resulting psychopathic tendencies. That fine as a one-off, but once you start digging into his other adventures you immediately run the risk of repetition, and the character gets diluted in the process. Rorschach only follows one clear, straight path without deviation. There's not much you need to say there that won't have been said already. So while this may be well-written and entertaining, it's already coming across as derivative, albeit with some extraordinarily strong artwork from Bermejo (there's no question now that the art on the entire project has been the real highlight). It's only four issues so I'll see it through, but everything I've seen so far indicates that there'll be no surprises in store. 6/10
James R: The Before Watchmen project rolls out another #1 with Rorschach, featuring arguably the most beloved of all the Watchmen characters. As much as I like Azzarello (I love 100 Bullets and Spaceman has been consistently good) I don't think he's hit the groove on his Before Watchmen titles. Comedian started with a huge plot error, and has drifted into a book that has little to do with Watchmen. Rorschach is an improvement on that title, but there's something not quite right about it. It certainly isn't Lee Bermejo's art, which is superb and captures the '70s New York atmosphere really well. Azzarello also avoids the pitfall of wasting our time with a rehash of Rorschach's origin, correctly presupposing that anyone picking up this book may have read Watchmen before! He also demonstrates a better understanding of the character than Straczynski's shown in Nite Owl but I feel that he hasn't quite got Walter Kovak's voice right; "Bitch to be you right now" doesn't sound like the same man who taunts Big Figure so adroitly in the original series. As a debut issue, I must say I enjoyed it, but once again I find myself thinking that if DC wanted to produce the best comics today, comics that can stand alongside the original, then they're still coming up short. 6/10
PATHFINDER #1
Writer: Jim Zub
Art: Andrew Huerta & Ross Campbell
Dynamite Entertainment $3.99
Stewart R: Tabletop RPGs have never managed to coax me into properly playing them, but I certainly find the whirling realms of fantasy or science-fiction that they are based upon to be intriguing and occasionally entertaining nonetheless. I picked up Pathfinder purely based on seeing a sampling of the artwork in Previews a few months back and my immediate reaction to Huerta's style was to note the resemblance to Joe Madureira's work on the superb Battlechasers - there is also a definite nod to a certain BC villain that I spotted on my first read through. Now a resemblance to a great title does not a good comic make so it's lucky that Zub's plot and scripting are up to the task; he sets the band of confident and well-travelled adventurers on an immediate quest to identify just what is causing local goblin tribes to become more aggressive and twisted than usual. There's already a keen sense of camaraderie between the protagonists and while obviously being set to certain typecasts there's definitely a sense of well-roundedness to each character with subtleties woven through the dialogue that suggest we could see some decent character development as the story continues. If the swords and sorcery genre is not generally to your liking I'm not sure that you'll find anything here to necessarily change that aversion, however I found the whole 22 pages to be surprisingly engrossing and, in the best RPG fashion, there's even some game-related pages in the back that, if nothing else, actually help to expand the vision of the locale and people seen in the main story. An entertaining start. 8/10
AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #10
Art: Adam Kubert, John Dell, Laura Martin & Larry Molinar
Stewart R: We're nearly there people, nearly through the weird jumble that is and has been Marvel's 2012 Summer event, and I'm starting to want it to be over and done with. Ed Brubaker takes his last turn with the writing baton and he puts in a stable effort that, despite evidently escalating things once more as Cyclops arrives in K'un Lun and attempts to wrest Hope back from the apparent safe hands of the Avengers, fails to really deliver anything particularly epic. To be fair, I don't think that perhaps Brubaker's script has been helped by Kubert's inability to make his contribution seem anything other than confined and claustrophobic once again and the lack of detail in the one or two wannabe-poster book moments gives this instalment an under-polished feel that won't stand up to scrutiny when placed alongside Coipel's earlier offerings during the series. As an example of Cyclops' vision for his people becoming gently twisted and obsessive thanks to the continued and strengthening corruption of such monumental power it's not half bad, yet I can't help feeling that there's been one terrible oversight throughout all of this: the fact that the mutant species hasn't really been saved during the Phoenix Five's renaissance and it's not really been made clear as to how such a feat would be achieved anyway despite Cyclops' constant protestations that that is what he is doing. With such a high-brow concept conveniently pushed to the side this has descended into a big, fat and rather stupid tug-of-war over Hope and descended once again into mediocrity with it. We've a four week wait until #11 for some reason and I can only hope that it's down to a sudden urge to rewrite things and show us a story with some actual interesting thought behind it, rather than just to add in another yet opportunity to show Thor getting a pummelling. 5/10
BUTCHER BAKER, THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER #8
Writer: Joe Casey
Art: Mike Huddleston
Image Comics $2.99
James R: Normally, the PCG don't have a lot of time when books are late. However, I'm willing to give Joe Casey and Mike Huddleston a lot of leeway here as a) it is the final issue of the series, and b) it is - like every issue before it - an exceptional comic. This series was an attempt by Joe Casey to put an adrenaline shot into the heart of the comics industry, and he's succeeded magnificently. Butcher Baker's confrontation with, well, everybody (Jihad Jones, the Absolutely, Arnie B. Willard... and the US Military!) is almost secondary to the intense explosion of images and ideas here. Casey is a clever writer, and he demonstrates a deft meta-touch in his script, as Butcher Baker plays with our expectations of how resolutions and triumphs work in comics. As the series has gone on, I've been increasingly impressed with the work of Mike Huddleston - the moments when his art has suddenly shifted to a pastel palette have been breathtaking, and I'm amazed at the sheer variety of style and panel composition here. In a year where DC have decided to stripmine Watchmen in the hope of channelling some of its magic, I'd say that the series that shares some of the inventiveness, self-awareness and love of comics with Moore's masterpiece is Butcher Baker. Bravo to all involved, and if you missed out on this series, you absolutely have to pick it up in trade. 10/10
Stewart R: I actually thought that this series had perhaps plunged into the mystical void that many Man of Action titles seem to go - see The Great Unknown and Bad Dog for those currently missing in action - and that we weren't going to get the climax that we'd been waiting for in what had become a highly entertaining and always colourful comic. Thankfully Casey and Huddleston have managed to break out that midnight oil and cleared schedules to make sure that BBTRM got its ending. In the 10 months since #7 I'll admit that I'd forgotten what had transpired, however a few pages of naked and brutal superhero/villain fisticuffs later and I was right back up to speed - it's amazing how crazy shit like that can jog a memory and Huddleston's visuals have been tremendous at capturing every mind-blowing second! While I remember my attraction to this series being partly down to the chaotic and comedic antics that unwound page after page, Casey has reminded me in this finale that there was a deeper story here, revolving around a superhero, still awash in the light of his former glories, yet increasingly aware of time and ever-changing politics catching up with him and wiping that shine away. Baker has been played as a straight-shooting, ask-questions-later kind of guy for the most part yet his constant admittance that he lacks a lot of understanding on how things work has been flipped around and thrown out sideways throughout to produce as canny and endearing a mutha-fucker as has ever graced a page of Image print. Further kudos has to be sent Casey's way for his apology over the delay sat in the back of the issue as it's as honest an admission as you can get. At the end of the day and end of the series all I can do is heartily recommend picking this up in the collected edition when it surfaces before the end of the year. 8/10
DAREDEVIL #17
Art: Michael Allred & Laura Allred
Matt C: After the last couple of exceptional issues, this one feels like something of a placeholder. There was a lot of momentum building with Waid's plotlines, but when you get a flashback issue just when things are getting juicy, it's hard not to look at it as anything but filler. It probably doesn't help that I've never been particularly enamoured with Allred's artwork; I know he has passionate fan base, and there's no denying he has a distinctive talent, but his work often feels flat and inert to me. The story itself attempts to get some more mileage out of Matt's father, Battlin' Jack Murdock, but while it works on some emotional level, it feels half-finished by the end of the issue. This is still one of the best superhero titles currently on the stands, and I expect it will continue to be so, but this is definitely one of the lesser chapters. 6/10
SAGA #6
Art: Fiona Staples
Stewart R: As Mr K. Vaughan states in the 'To Be Continued' letters page, this could well have been the point that we said goodbye to this science-fiction tale of family life in a time of interstellar war. Hahahaha-HAH! As if that was ever likely to happen when we were given such an engrossing and captivating start from him and the marvellous Staples, which just gets better and better as it prances merrily and bloodily along! While not instantly wowed by the first chapter I've grown to look forward to this appearing in my pull-list and new elements such as rocketships made out of living wood and robot princes that use 'bugger' as an expletive just continue to sweeten the deal. When compared to other regular comics in my pull-list there's definitely a more steady pacing to Vaughan's writing and though a fair amount has happened and been disclosed over the course of six issues it still feels to me that we're only at the very beginning of a truly epic, star-spanning tale and sometimes - including my reading of this latest issue - I need to give this book a second read through just to prove to myself (successfully) that there was actually a lot more content to be found through the 22 pages than I had initially thought. Here for example, there's a brilliant level of depth to Alana and Marko's despair, frustration and then relief as things take a swing, albeit temporarily, for the better and the concern that I have for a character's well-being here is testament to an unmissable comic read. The collected edition is out shortly and comes at a bargain price; I suggest that you climb aboard! 9/10
Matt C: This issue sees the completion of what will be the first volume of Saga in collected form, and with a couple of months to go before issue #7 appears (Vaughan states at the back of the book the delay is to allow Staples some catch-up time) it's a good opportunity to assess how the series is progressing. After what I still consider to be the best debut issue of 2012, Saga has settled into a groove of infectious likeability, not quite reaching the dazzling heights of the first chapter but still impressing with its humour, creativity and astute, relatable characterisations. Even with all the sci-fi trappings this is a resolutely human tale, a familiar one in certain respects in that it features some star-crossed lovers on the lam. This could easily be a contemporary Earth-set story and you wouldn't see much alteration to the characters, and the soap opera dynamics at play reveal how much Vaughan's time working on Lost has affected the way he structures his narrative and presents his cast. But, while the nuts and bolts of the story are essentially familiar and recognizable, it's down to Staples to bring the weird, wonderful and otherworldly tone with some of the outlandish visual creations she conjures up with her pen and inks, although even then the facial expressions she employs (particularly the eyes) make those creations believable and sympathetic (with the exception of those individuals with TVs for heads!). If there's a problem it's one of pace, as it does feel that Saga is taking its time getting to its destination, and perhaps a few shortcuts could have been taken on the way. It's the kind of series that you sign up for the long run through, and even if it takes it time there's just too much brilliant stuff going on to ever consider skipping the journey. 7/10
Art: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Mario Del Pennino, Klaus Janson, Daniel Green & Frank D'Armata
Stewart R: Damn good cover that... and a damn fine issue it is too as Slott finishes off his 'No Turning Back' arc with some unexpected twists and turns. In fact, I always seem to be surprised and impressed by Slott's ability to throw plotline curve balls and I really shouldn't be by now as it seems to be a part of his fine Spider-Man writing style - it's testament to the man that I find it difficult to predict just when those unexpected moments will arrive. Here he puts Peter right into a bizarre and precarious situation at Horizon Labs as he realises nearly too late that his colleagues have been left vulnerable in the presence of one of his most vicious enemies. Slott has worked the dual thought narrative incredibly well during this arc with the reader being able to see the mental workings of both hero and villain in turn, and it's been highly enjoyable as well as refreshing to see Peter come to the occasional wrong conclusion and appreciate what it feels like from the other perspective involved. The action quotient is high once again and Camuncoli has worked wonders these past four issues delivering high velocity visuals truly worthy of one of Marvel's preeminent titles. The celebrations appear to start properly next issue, but I'd say they already started with a story as good as any in that 50-year canon. 9/10
BATWOMAN #12
Writer: J. H. Williams & W. Haden Blackman
Art: J. H. Williams & Dave Stewart
James R: Just when I thought I was out... J. H. Williams pulls me back in! I was very close to dropping Batwoman - not because it was a bad comic, but it was, well, okay. In the current climate where only a few of us can afford to pick up all the issues we'd like to, I felt Batwoman was a nice read, but I had expected a lot more from title. Suddenly, things have changed - J. H. Williams has returned to art duties and the story has gone up a notch with the introduction of Wonder Woman. The plot still centres around the supernatural and Kate Kane's search for Medusa, but William's juxtaposition between the lives of Wonder Woman and Batwoman is sublime. He is an artist in the truest sense of the word - and I'd read a phone book if was illustrating it. After a year, I'm a little wary at how long the Medusa plot has gone on for (especially seeing that Williams teased that the next arc was an espionage tale) but the sheer beauty of this title keeps it on my pull-list. 7/10
REVIVAL #2
Writer: Tim Seeley
Art: Mike Norton & Mark Englert
Stewart R: Well, this is certainly shaping up to be a series filled with plenty of mystery and bulging with character at its heart! Two issues in and the reasons behind the strange phenomena of revivals occurring in the quarantined Wisconsin town are still nowhere in sight and Seeley's focus is set firmly upon the Cypress family and how their lives are being (or have been?) affected by the unnatural happenings. I'm loving Seeley's decision to keep the 'event' out of this book for the moment and concentrate on those affected as it's clear that his handling of this family dynamic and the strain creaking under the surface is spot on. The somewhat humorous and purely 'coincidental' get together between Dana and the Doctor is played out well enough and adds a further layer of stress to the struggling officer's already crazy life. Norton's art is bang on the money once again and it's his keen hand that really helps to enhance those creepier moments that pop out of the page every now and then, especially when it comes to Dana's sister Martha. The number of top-notch titles that Image keep sending the readers' way is almost rude presently, but it has to be said that Revival is deserving of sitting amongst their number. 8/10
SNARKED #11
Writer: Roger Langridge
Art: Roger Langridge
Matt C: This delightful series reaches its penultimate instalment with the same high standard of oddball wit and surreal invention that's been its trademark since the first issue. Although the King has now been located, our band of heroes haven't exactly rescued him as they've now found themselves trapped alongside him on Snark Island, looking for a way to escape, perhaps with some of the fabled creature's treasure in tow. Wilburforce J. Walrus has become more of an unlikely (and reluctant!) hero as the story's progressed, and the central double-act has shifted from him and Clyde McdDunk, to him and Scarlett, the savvy princess who's proved herself to be smarter than the rest of her colleagues put together. For an expat Kiwi, Langridge seems to have tapped directly into a rich vein of thoroughly British humour, not only through some often fiendishly clever wordplay but also a succession of effective visual gags. It's a joy to read Snarked as it's always guaranteed to leave you grinning like the Cheshire Cat by the final page of each chapter. 8/10

San Diego – Continuing his focus on reinvesting in San Diego neighborhoods, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer today introduced the City of San Diego's Fiscal Year 2019 Proposed Budget that funds the largest infrastructure investment in City history while prioritizing funding for public safety, the "Clean SD" initiative, homelessness, street repair, recreation centers and libraries.
Mayor Faulconer's budget proposal continues a fiscally responsible approach given modest revenue growth and the need to ensure the City lives within its means. The balanced budget was made possible in large part by the prudent financial decisions, including pre-funding reserves, in last year's budget and the Mayor's directive this year for department directors to hold the line on spending.
The City has been forced to grapple with a lean budget over the past couple years. Still, Mayor Faulconer's proposed budget prioritizes issues important to San Diegans. Those include funding for the largest recruitment and retention package in San Diego Police Department history, the equivalent of 390 miles of street repair, the highest level of operating hours at libraries and recreation centers in a decade, and key initiatives such as the Climate Action Plan, Pure Water San Diego, Vision Zero safety measures, Clean SD, and several homeless programs.
The annual budget for the Capital Improvements Program, which funds most infrastructure projects throughout the city, has also seen significant growth since Mayor Faulconer took office. It has more than tripled since FY2014 and now stands at $553 million.
The City is projecting modestly improving revenue from property (5.5%), sales (3%) and hotel taxes (5.3%) in FY2019.
Mayor Faulconer has proposed balancing the budget with about $14.1 million in reductions spread across various City departments, rolling over $12.3 million in projected surplus from the current fiscal year budget, and the use of $5.6 million in excess funds available in select reserve accounts, among other things.
The $3.8 billion budget proposal recommends spending levels for City operations and capital projects for Fiscal Year 2019, which runs from July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019.
For more information, the entire proposed budget can be viewed online here along with a Fact Sheet that provides a summary of notable changes and a set of budget infographics.
The final budget will be adopted in June following several weeks of review by the public and the City Council. The budget proposal will be formally presented to the City Council at 2 p.m. Monday in the City Council chambers.

Halle Attack: Shooter Released Video on Twitch Live Streaming Platform
The perpetrator of a bomb attack on a synagogue and a Turkish restaurant in eastern Germany posted a live video of his attack. & Nbsp;
The attacker who targeted a synagogue and a Turkish restaurant in eastern Germany posted a live video of his attack.
The perpetrator of the Halle bombing in Germany broadcast a video of the attack on the live streaming platform Twitch, said a spokesman for the site specializing in video games and e-sports. "We have done as soon as possible to remove this content, and we will suspend any accounts that post or repost images of this abominable act," said a spokesman Twitch interviewed by AFP. The attack on a synagogue in this East German city has left two dead and two seriously injured.
A modus operandi that resembles the author of the Christchurch bombing
Twitch's spokesperson did not mean immediately how long the video had been online, simply stating that the Amazon subsidiary was investigating the exact circumstances of the broadcast and would share the details with gradually. The modus operandi of the shooter Halle is reminiscent of the perpetrator of the attack on two mosques in Christchurch New Zealand in March, an Australian far right, which had killed 51 people. Brenton Tarrant had managed to broadcast his attack live for about 17 minutes on Facebook, before the first social network in the world can stop the transmission.
This very long delay had made Facebook very virulent critics. Since then, Mark Zuckerberg's social network has taken several initiatives to prevent such a thing from happening again. In mid-September, the group announced that it had called on police on both sides of the Atlantic to educate its artificial intelligence tools in order to stop the video retransmissions of extremist attacks live on its platform.

Q: getting error 'must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server', but it is I'm getting the above error message. However, the page in question does indeed have a  tag with runat="server" attribute on it (at design time) and the control is inside it. If I run the project, and view source, that attribute appears to be gone (not sure if that part is normal or what's causing it if it's not).
The error pops when I try to run RenderControl method. The page loads fine to begin with. Any ideas?
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="hiddenMVR" runat="server" style="display:block;">
 // lots of other controls in here removed for brevity
</div>
</form>

Code behind:
            StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter(stringBuilder);
            HtmlTextWriter htmlTextWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWriter);
            //error occurs on RenderControl
            this.hiddenMVR.RenderControl(htmlTextWriter);

A: Apparently the below code fixes the issue, although honestly I'm not sure why, since the original error message isn't accurate:
public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)
{
    /* Confirms that an HtmlForm control is rendered for the specified ASP.NET server
    control at run time. Used to avoid issue using RenderControl above */
}

Apparently, this overrides some built-in method that I'm not aware of, which is doing something that causes the error. Overriding it with no code prevents whatever is happening by default and thus eliminates the error.
This "fix" was mentioned in some other posts, but I didn't think it applied because the error message doesn't line up with the code.
I haven't noticed any detrimental issues from doing this.

A: Before RenderControl you need to change the type of Button, LinkButton or any other asp.net component you are using to Literal.
Simplest way to do the same is to remove that control and add Literal at that place.
A sample code to do the same is as below.
private void DisableControls(Control gv)
{
    Literal l = new Literal();

    for (int i = 0; i < gv.Controls.Count; i++)
    {
        if (gv.Controls[i].GetType() == typeof(Button))

        {
            l.Text = (gv.Controls[i] as Button).Text;
            gv.Controls.Remove(gv.Controls[i]);
            gv.Controls.AddAt(i, l);
        }

        if (gv.Controls[i].GetType() == typeof(LinkButton))
        {
            l.Text = (gv.Controls[i] as LinkButton).Text;
            gv.Controls.Remove(gv.Controls[i]);
            gv.Controls.AddAt(i, l);
        }

        if (gv.Controls[i].GetType() == typeof(CheckBox))
        {
            l.Text = (gv.Controls[i] as CheckBox).Text;
            gv.Controls.Remove(gv.Controls[i]);
            gv.Controls.AddAt(i, l);
        }

        if (gv.Controls[i].HasControls())
        {
            DisableControls(gv.Controls[i]);
        }
    }
}

and you can call the same using
DisableControls(listView);

First of all, beware of spoilers at the end of season 3 of Ozark available on Netflix later in what is going to follow. The series has yet to be revived by Netflix but you can only expect that will happen. And if that's true, it is time to inquire what Season 4 can hold in store for us.
As a reminder, the conclusion of season 3 marks the death of Helen and the"marketing" of Marty and Wendy to Navarro and his cartel. Showrunner Chris Mundy clarified the sequel must leave a little more space for the development of a particular character.
Ozark Season 4: Updates
"If we're fortunate enough to come back for a season 4, I think that the major question will be whether Ruth can build something on her that she wants to last, or if she wants to do something else. ". Yep, before Helen's death, Ruth announced her resignation from the Byrdes implying that she wasn't closed to the idea of continuing to operate for the cartel.
Just now that Helen is dead, she will have to experience the Byrdes when she wants to continue her actions… This may push her to go look at Darlene and Wyatt's side and their endeavors.
After Marty took her under his wing, Ozark Season 3 had been one of emancipation for Ruth and when Netflix renews the series for a season 4, then the new relationship between Marty and Ruth will be at the heart of it. A significant storyline.
"The entire story of Ruth revolves around the fact that she thought she wished to become a Byrde, but she realized that not only is it great for a Langmore, but she also prefers to become a Langmore. Compared to a Byrde". It remains to be seen what this may mean for Marty's business. Besides Ruth's questions, we could expect new intrigues around the cartel, money laundering, the FBI on the place with Maya, and probably the expansion of this Navarro empire – and so that des Byrde. Simply speaking, Netflix has the world of material for a season 4 and there's more to wait for an official renewal.

WORDS or VERSES or GOALS or RESOLUTIONS— Oh MY!
I've seen lots of posts on the benefits and "ehs" of each of them.
Whatever motivates you, use it!
I've done the whole word thing the last few years. Before that I did goals. Both of them worked fairly well for me.
Goals are hard at the moment though, because of my crazy life. It's hard to set specific goals when life is constantly a topsy turvey roller coaster that I have no idea which way it'll turn.
So that's why I've been prayerfully doing the whole "word" thing the last few years. It seems to work good for me.
Last year my word was "focus." I felt like my thoughts and life was so scattered, I was doing lots of things but at the end of the year, didn't feel like anything was actually accomplished. I felt God calling me to narrow my focus a bit, and specifically, get back on the writing band wagon.
I said goodbye to a few things, including a consulting job and my previous literary agent.
But I also said hello to indie-publishing by publishing my first novella, and said hello to a new literary agent who is amazing!
I finished writing two books, almost three, and started another one.
Overall, it was a good year, even though definitely not without its struggles.
This year, however, my word is HOPE.
Although, that definitely was an inspiration for it! I feel like this year holds a lot of hope for our family.
–Annabelle should say bye-bye to tube feedings and saying hello to potty training, and might even start kindergarten this year!
–My oldest will turn 15!!!!! this year which means *gulp* starting high school and getting her driver's permit! HOLY COW!
–My next oldest will start MIDDLE SCHOOL this year.
–I should publish my last two novellas and maybe even another full-length novel. I also have another full-length novel we'll be shopping to publishers, with the hope of another traditional book contract.
I'm also hoping that this will be the FIRST year Annabelle has NO hospitalizations.
So yeah, I'm clinging to hope for this year. For God to infuse strength and love and unity and peace into our family. That we can grow in love and grow in HIM and just have a really fantastic year.
Do you have a word or a verse or resolution or goal for 2015? How did you do on 2014's? I'd love for you to share it!!

Playing "How Spilled is this Milk" with the Northwestern Women's Lacrosse team
By Rodger Sherman Jun 7, 2010, 1:19pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Playing "How Spilled is this Milk" with the Northwestern Women's Lacrosse team
So, Northwestern women's lacrosse lost a women's lacrosse game. As I wrote the other day, they're still one of the best teams in the world, they've won five rings, they've lost less than six games in the last six years, and they should be extraordinarily proud of all their accomplishments, as should NU sports people in general.
Saturday, word broke via the Chicago Tribune that the team was protesting the loss to the NCAA. You see, Pat Dillon (a woman, btdubs), a referee and Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductee, is partner of Maryland's head athletic trainer, Sandy Worth, and has been known to support Terrapin athletics. This has caused the ACC to disallow Dillon from reffing ACC games due to her potential bias, but it didn't stop the NCAA from having her ref the NU-North Carolina matchup in the Final Four, and Dillon purportedly spoke with all the officials before and during the championship game, something which could have influenced the judgement of those actually officiating the game.
People have differing viewpoints on this: some see this as NU crying over spilled milk, some see this as NU standing up for an egregious case of potential bias that would never pass in more popular sports.
It's a tough case. So after the jump, we'll be determining precisely how spilled this milk is.
Option 1: Hella spilled.
Come on now, Jim Phillips. Your squad lost. Get over it.
First off, even if this woman did ref the game, she's a hall-of-famer, and the fact that her partner happens to be employed by the University of Maryland likely wouldn't have influenced her decision making. She's a ref. It's her job.
But that's not the scenario. She reffed one game between UNC and Northwestern. First off, if she's such a big Maryland fan, wouldn't her bias have helped NU in a matchup against another ACC school? Secondly, what effect does this have on the game you lost? None. Even if she talked to other refs during the game. I'm sure Danny Crawford has talked to Ed Hightower at some point in his life before, does that mean Hightower is going to start call a foul every time somebody tries to handcheck Drew Crawford? Probably not.
Dynasties are great because they're great, not because they whine their way to success. Getting all uppity about this just tarnishes the legacy that NU lacrosse should be trying to make for themselves, whereas if they simply lost with grace - and five national championships and a national runner-up is nothing to scoff about, people - nobody would think any less of them.
But when you try to cover up a game that this team had every chance to win but ended up losing by blaming it on the refs, you make yourself look bad.
Option 2: Mad unspilled.
This is a legit controversy. The ACC banned this ref from reffing UMD games for a reason, the fact that she's allowed to be involved with crowning NCAA championships is a disgrace.
NU didn't just bring this up because it's convenient: they've been pointing out the ethical dilemma presented by the situation for years, apparently having originally brought it to the NCAA's attention in 2007, and reportedly delivering a letter to the NCAA before the tournament requesting she not be allowed to ref.
Multiple sources cited in the story see the ref's position as unethical; judging from their history of calling Dillon out, NU is possibly less interested in having the game result overturned than they are in making sure everything is fair. It's less a selfish plea for a trophy than it is a plea for future justice to be served.
Option 3: Condensed milk, that pretty much isn't milk at all
It's finals week, and I'm in the midst of a thousand-word treatise about a women's lacrosse refereeing controversy over a game that happened a week ago. I can think of legitimately ten thousand better things to do, including but not limited to watching the entire film "Pootie Tang", which is especially a big waste of time considering I watched the entire film "Pootie Tang" less than six hours ago.


20 years later, what are the best ideas and next practices in brand marketing?
In some ways not much has changed. The challenge for most brands is still about making that shift from inside-out to outside-in thinking, to build a brand around their customer's world, defined by a relevant purpose that in some ways makes life better. But its also fundamentally changed, from a world where broadcast push of average messages (advertising) has been replaced by new types of social, personal engagement. Some brands do it perfectly, like RedBull, others still struggle, like Coke.
Brands in a customer-centric world … How do brands work at a higher level to create more value for customers?
The customer-centric brand narrative, is therefore about a bigger idea, about more than communication and devices … our opportunity is to engage people in this bigger context (e.g. Red Bull's Air Race is not about energy drinks, but adrenalin experiences), Nike's events are not about shoes (but Rockstar Workouts, or whatever engages the target segment), similarly all content, promotions etc.
The customer-centric brand experience, is also therefore about a bigger idea – its not simply "the touchpoints with the organisation" but the experience which the customer has in doing what they do (e.g. making mobile payments, taking better photos, finding new friends, monitoring business operations etc).
2. Making monolithic brands relevant and personal … How to connect brands to multiple segments/propositions?
How this makes the brand more multi-dimensional, more pull than push, and how to retain the consistency of a brand strategy whilst also multiple meanings and executions. Specifically what it means for brand identity, brand messaging, and service styles online, and within stores and call centres.
3. Communicating content in fast and social markets … How do we connect all the content together for more impact?
Connecting the brand stories together so they become "liquid and linked" – learning how Coca Cola turn all these fragments Facebook posts, Tweets, Instagram messages, online blogs, sponsorship activities, multi-channel, activities into a coherent and progressive story that has structure and progress. In particular, when most of the content is created from outside not inside.
4. Brands in action, building brand communities … How do we use the power of networks, to achieve more together?
What is brand trust and loyalty … Trust is low, loyalty is rare … so how do we engage people, build relationships that endure retention and advocacy amongst our audiences? – Today's winning brands, Lego to Snap, Google to IBM, is facilitate relationships between them, rather than try to have relationships with them (the old CRM) … a community with a higher purpose, to achieve more together.
Bringing more brand partners together to achieve the higher goals of the community, and for a brand to take a lead facilitator role in being that – like Rapha brings together the passion of cyclists – more than bikes and clothing, it gives them a place and a club, stories and dreams, to share. This community becomes the gateway to customer-centric solutions, and brand portfolios.
Using the brand community to achieve more – from co-creating and co-selling, to co-supporting and co-empowering … building on previous successes to achieve more – and in particular to fuse digital and physical assets together in more innovative ways – stores, events, bills, phones – whilst also exploring new revenue streams.

Customer Slams N15 Billion Suit On Afribank
A businessman, Mr. Cletus Ibeto and his company, IBG Investment Company Limited, have slammed N15 billion suit on Afribank Nigeria Plc, over an alleged breach of banking facilities agreement existing between the two parties.
Also joined as co-defendant in the ensuing legal warfare is a warehousing agent, Continental Logistics Limited.
In a statement of claim filed before a Federal High Court in Lagos, South West, Nigeria, by Barrister, Joseph Nwobike (SAN), it was alleged that the plaintiffs by reason of banker/customer relationship granted N210 million and $34,130,000 facilities to IBG Investment Company.
The loans were to be utilised in the management and implementation of the production lines of the company which the $30 million import facilities would be used to set up.
There was also mutual understanding between the parties that the repayment of these facilities would be sourced from the sale of the products that would be generated from the production lines which would be established here in Nigeria.
The plaintiffs averred that contrary to the term of the banking facilities, the bank failed and refused to fully disburse to the plaintiffs the value of the loan as contained in the bank's letter, thereby breaching the loan agreement.
Consequently, the penalty arose directly from the bank's failure to disburse the funds adversely affected the company's operations. The defendants still have in its custody 200,083 bags of rice of the plaintiffs valued at about N1.5 billion.
The plaintiffs further averred that when it reviewed its account with Afribank sometime in February this year, it discovered that their lodgment, totaling N768,360,544 were not credited into their accounts.
The plaintiffs demanded for the correction of the anomaly in its account, but the bank refused and continued to compute negative interest and other charges into the plaintiffs' bank account.
Instead of refunding the N768,360,544 and disburse the remaining portions of the value of the $30 million, Afribank allegedly concluded arrangement to wind-up, call in the personal guarantee of Mr. Ibeto and sent petition to Economic and Financial Commission, EFCC.
The plaintiffs contended that they are not indebted to Afribank in the sum of N11,49,957,655.90 as alleged and for the breach of agreement between them and that of the judiciary duties owed the plaintiffs by the bank, they have suffered collateral losses which now stands at about N15 billion.
Consequently, the plaintiffs urged the court to declare that Afribank failed to exercise due care and thereby breached the judiciary duties owed it by the mismanagement and unlawfully manipulation of credits and debits into the plaintiffs account.
The plaintiffs also prayed the court to restrain the bank and its agents from selling or dealing with his properties situated at Osan Crescent, Maitama District, FCT, Abuja and order the bank to pay the plaintiffs N15 billion for the general damages caused by its several breaches of agreement between them.
Therefore, Justice Okon Abang has restrained the defendants, their agents or their solicitors from selling, transferring or dealing whatsoever with the plaintiffs properties in Abuja pending the determination of the substantive suit.
Justice Abank also restrained the defendants from selling or dealing whatsoever with the plaintiffs consignment of 200,083 bags of rice in their possession
He has adjourned the case till September 29, for the hearing of pending motions.

'It's All About Time': New Video from Eaton Demonstrates 9x Faster Metering Installation in new MCCB Panelboards
Following the launch of its new Memshield 3 MCCB panelboards, Eaton has created a video which demonstrates how the easy-to-fit plug-and-play metering facilities in the new panelboards makes installation up to 9x faster than before. Entitled 'It's All About Time', the video shows two electricians side by side racing against the clock to install panelboard metering in an old-style panelboard and the new Memshield 3 panelboard. The video reveals how the plug-in connections in the new panelboard mean the metering is easily wired in in less than 10 minutes, whereas the traditionally wired version takes over an hour.
Eaton's Memshield 3 MCCB panelboards have set new standards for versatility and for fast, convenient installation by offering these easy-to-fit plug-and-play metering facilities, as well as offering provision for incorporating surge and lightning protection, the ability to accommodate four-pole incoming devices with optional earth-leakage protection, and enhanced mechanical construction.
Instead of having to make up to 42 individual connections to wire an energy meter – a task that typically takes around 90 minutes and is error prone because of the large number of connections – users of the new panelboards only need make a few simple plug-in connections. The risk of errors is eliminated, and a meter is easily wired in less than 10 minutes and up to nine times faster.
The panelboards can be supplied in versions that accommodate incoming devices rated up to 800 A and outgoing devices rated from 16 A to 400 A. They are available with 6 and 12 outgoing ways in all ratings, with selected ratings also available in 18 way versions. At the low-current end of the range, 250 A incomer boards are additionally offered in 4- and 8-way versions that provide convenient and cost-effective solutions for small installations. All models meet the requirements of IEC 61439-2, with Form 3b, Type 2 separation.


We investigate the causes of genetic differences within and among species, and the basis of variation in phenotypic traits.
The development of molecular techniques has transformed the way evolutionary biology is studied. Genetic variation can be studied in virtually all organisms, providing insights on their mating behaviour, effective population sizes and population structure. Recent genomic approaches such as next-generation sequencing and gene expression profiling also provide a powerful way to study local adaptation and identify genes controlling variation in phenotypic traits.
We are using molecular techniques such as microsatellites, gene expression analysis and next-generation sequencing to study mating preferences, population structure, phylogeography, speciation and the genetic basis of fitness traits in species ranging from Drosophila and crickets to marine turtles and mammals.
We also have a keen interest in conservation biology. Some of our recent projects include studying the effects of habitat fragmentation on gene flow in the ornate dragon lizard, the maintenance of genetic variation in the western rock lobster and population structure in an endemic freshwater fish. Current projects include investigations on the genetic consequences of translocation, hybridisation in freshwater crustaceans and the impacts of reduced heterozygosity in natural populations of guppies.
