DOJ: Trump Jr., McGahn Did Not Testify Before Grand Jury in Mueller Probe
The Justice Department confirmed Sunday that former White House counsel Don McGahn and President Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., never testified before a federal grand jury during the Robert Mueller probe.
The details were revealed as part of an ongoing court battle between the House of Representatives and the Justice Department.
"Don McGahn did not testify before the grand jury. Indeed, none of the witnesses for whom the Committee requested FBI Interview Reports in Volume II of the Mueller Report, testified before the grand jury, with the exceptions of [redacted]," the DOJ notice states, The Hill reports. "Donald Trump, Jr. also did not testify before the grand jury." ry
Details of why McGahn and Trump Jr. didn't testify are still unclear. The Mueller report indicated Trump Jr. declined a voluntary interview.
McGahn agreed to private interviews, which played a major role in Mueller's report.

Grand Juror Who Leaked Information about 'Snitch' Sentenced to Prison
A grand juror who leaked secret information about a "snitch" involved in a federal investigation was sentenced Thursday to one year and one day in prison for obstructing justice.
Leslie Lynn Heburn, 37, of Miami tracked down on social media the girlfriend of a man recently indicted to tell her that her boyfriend had been set up by a confidential informant.
Grand jurors are routinely warned they are prohibited from divulging information they learn during the grand jury proceedings.
Heburn, who earlier pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, acknowledged to a judge that she and other jurors had been warned about leaking information about the proceedings but did so anyway.
Assisting the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida was assisted by the FBI Miami Area Corruption Task Force, Miami-Dade Police Department and the ATF.

Mueller's Investigation of Trump Broadens to Influence-Peddling by Foreign Governments

George Nader, an adviser to the United Arab Emirates with close ties to various associates of President Trump, is cooperating with prosecutors and testified before a grand jury last week as part of the evolving special counsel investigation of Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election.
Nadar's cooperation comes at a critical time for special counsel Robert Mueller, who has expanded his investigation beyond Russia's election interference and now appears to be examining whether foreign governments funneled money to the Trump campaign to influence the president's policies, the New York Times reports. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/06/us/politics/george-nader-special-counsel-mueller-cooperating-seychelles.html
Nader, a frequent White House visitor and a Lebanese-American businessman who served as an adviser to the UAE's ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, was stopped and questioned by FBI investigators after landing at Washington Dulles International Airport in January. Nader was in the U.S. to meet with Trump and his associates as part of a celebration of the president's first year in office at Mars-a-Lago, the president's Florida getaway estate.
Mueller's team has questioned potential witnesses about allegations that Nader helped funnel money from the UAE to Trump's presidential campaign to buy political influence. Foreign entities are barred from making donations to political candidates in the U.S.

Thirteen Russians Charged with Interfering in Election to Help Trump Win
Thirteen Russian nationals and three Russian organizations have been criminally charged Friday on allegations of interfering in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump win.
Special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating whether Trump's campaign colluded with Russia to undermine the election, announced a grand jury in Washington D.C. has indicted the Russian nationals and organizations.
The sweeping, 37-page indictment alleges the Russian operation "included supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J Trump … and disparaging Hillary Clinton."
They are accused of using social media to pose as Americans by operating bogus social media accounts, buying advertisements and even staging political rallies. The indictment alleges they stole the identity of real Americans to wage a propaganda campaign on social media and built computer systems in the U.S. to conceal Russia's participation.
Trump has dismissed his own intelligence agencies' conclusions that Russia interfered in the election.

Bannon Issued Subpoena to Testify Before Grand Jury in Trump-Russia Probe
Steve Bannon, the former White House chief adviser to President Trump, has been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury as part of the special counsel investigation into possible collusion between Russia and Trump associates.
The issuance of a subpoena, which compels testimony from Bannon, was a rare move by special counsel Robert Mueller, who has been interviewing dozens of former and current Trump officials in more informal settings that don't require a subpoena, the New York Times reports.
A notable exception was Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafot, who was subpoenaed and later indicted on various federal charges, including money laundering.
Why Mueller opted to subpoena Bannon, who joined the Trump campaign team in August 2016, is open to speculation.
On Tuesday, Bannon testified behind closed doors before the House Intelligence Committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Bannon was subpoenaed last week, just days after the release of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," an explosive book in which Bannon raised serious legal questions about a June 2016 meeting at the Trump Tower between the president's son Donald Trump Jr., his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and a Russian lawyer who reportedly offered to release compromising information about presidential rival Hillary Clinton.
Bannon, who was in the campaign's inner circle when most of the alleged collusion with Russia took place, also predicted the special counsel probe is far from over and will focus on money laundering.
"By forcing someone to testify through a subpoena, you are providing the witness with cover because they can say, 'I had no choice — I had to go in and testify about everything I knew,'" said Solomon L. Wisenberg, a prosecutor for the independent counsel that investigated Bill Clinton when he was president.

Trump Allies: Mueller's Grand Jury Is Unfair Because It's Predominately Black
File photo of President Trump protesters in Ypsilanti, Mi. Photo by Steve Neavling.
The sputtering campaign to discredit the Trump-Russia investigation opened up a new line of attack – the demographics of the grand jury charged with handing down indictments for Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
An unnamed Trump associate and witness who "recently testified" grumbled to a New York Post columnist that the grand jury was mostly African American and looked like "a Black Lives Matter rally."
The only white man in the room was a prosecutor.
"The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally," the source said. "Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matter rally in Berkeley."
Eleven of the 2o jurors are black and two were wearing "peace T-shirts," making it impossible for Trump to get "a fair shake," the witness complained.
Following the New York Post column, Fox & Friends c0-host Brian Kilmeade joined the attack.
The grand jury is "not even emblematic of something that might be, perhaps, demographically pursuing justice," Kilmeade said.
The demographic makeup should be no surprise. The grand jury meets Fridays in Washington D.C., where nearly half of the residents are black.
Since Mueller impaneled the grand jury in August, it has handed down indictments against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner Richard Gates on charges of money laundering and conspiracy and failing to register as foreign agents.
As the investigation intensifies, so too do the attacks. Trump has referred to the probe as a political "witch hunt."

Special Counsel Probe of Trump, Russia Ties Nets First Criminal Charges
The special counsel appointed to investigate possible collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia has produced its first charges in the early stages of what has become a wide-ranging inquiry, CNN reports.
A grand jury in Washington D.C. approved the charges Friday, and an arrest could come as early as Monday.
Details were still murky Friday because the charges are still sealed by judge's order. It wasn't immediately clear, for example, who is being charged and what crimes were allegedly committed.
As of late Friday evening, Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office has declined to respond to questions about the charges, but top lawyers in the probe were seen entering the grand jury room earlier in the day.
In May, was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to lead the investigation into escalating questions about Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. The appointment came shortly after Trump abruptly fired then-FBI Director James Comey, who testified before Congress that the president pressured him to end the investigation of his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
The special counsel probe has broadened in scope and includes inquiries into whether Trump obstructed justice or whether some of his campaign team violated foreign lobbying laws or had financial ties to Russia.

What a Grand Jury Means for Special Counsel's Investigation of Russia, Trump Team
Special counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury as he and his team of 16 prosecutors dig deeper into allegations that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia to meddle in the 2016 presidential election.
The grand jurors, who are responsible for examining subpoenaed documents and listening to witness testimony, will ultimately decide whether charges are warranted.
That's significant because it means Mueller is exploring the possibility of pursuing criminal charges.
The grand jury gives Mueller the power to issue subpoenas and compel witnesses to testify.
The scope could easily grow as subpoenas and testimony comes in.

Abyss-A-Mania Is Running Mild
"Abyss is awesome and he's my next John Cena"
The above quote was uttered by none other than Hulk Hogan, who said it on the radio show of his longtime lickspittle Bubba the Love Sponge, on January 29, 2010, which was not even three months ago.
As I see it, there are two ways of looking at this quote. With objectivity in mind, I've looked it at from both sides and have seen the pros and cons of the statement.
On the positive side, I'm quite fond of Abyss. Ever since he donned the mask in 2003, looking like the 'Super Shredder' version of Mankind, he's had a rather noteworthy run in TNA. Initially booked as a monstrous mute, save for guttural growls and screams, Abyss became one of the first "TNA originals" to carve out his own niche.
While not the greatest brawler who ever lived, Abyss found his calling as the classic horror movie villain. In his arsenal was a rather hefty collection of power moves, which are befitting of someone playing a mutant basement dweller with rage issues. To compliment those high impact moves, Abyss showed a willingness to take hard bumps. He's gone through hundreds of tables. He's landed on enough thumbtacks to make a case for them to be used as a holistic exfoliate.
If you want to take a good look at Abyss at his beastly best, his run from 2004-2006 has no shortage of evidence. The Full Metal Mayhem match with Jeff Hardy. The World Title match with Raven. But the one that stands head and shoulders above the carnal fray took place at TNA Lockdown 2005.
It was there that he and AJ Styles stole the show, ending the night with a brutal steel cage match. Never before had Abyss had an opponent who could sell his superhuman power by bouncing off the canvas and the chain link with such athletic gusto. With Abyss able to take hard bumps as well, it made AJ's comeback satisfying and amazing to watch. It was like a modernized Sting vs. Vader match-up.
Styles won the match to send the fans home happy, but I remember feeling that the bout had MADE Abyss. It was one thing to hold one's own with the likes of Jeff Hardy, Monty Brown, Kid Kash, among others, but to emphatically close out the night with AJ Styles in what really could have been an outside 'match of the year' candidate is a good thing to have on one's career resume.
At his best, Abyss is a reliable heel monster who's willing to do anything to sacrifice his body in order to enhance the performance, as one dimensional as that can be at times.
Unfortunately, that's also his negative.
In the modern world of professional wrestling, not just anyone can be "John Cena". Whether you love the man, whether you hate the man, or whether or not you want to jam barbecue skewers into his eye sockets, there's no denying that Cena is the standard for what a main eventer "has to be" in 2010 and beyond, whether we like it or not.
John Cena has the following qualities that make him WWE's cash cow. In order, it goes: personality, appearance, 'big time' wrestling ability, media savvy, credibility, behavior.
So let's compare, shall we?
PERSONALITY: John Cena connects with the audience, either for better or for worse. He comes off as self-assured, confident, never stumbles over his words, and can sell the conflict with a variety of opponents, enough to the point where he can suck in more than enough fans to buy the shows, buy his merchandise, keep ratings up, and continue to justify his push.
Abyss, however, wears a mask, which hinders his ability to connect with fans to a certain degree. He doesn't have much experience on the mic, so he comes off, at times, as a blithering fool who's in awe of Hulk Hogan. To that respect, he's Lenny Small from "Of Mice and Men", except in a pseudo-bondage mask. In other words, Abyss has a long way to go to reach Cena's level.
APPEARANCE: John Cena is in excellent shape and keeps himself extremely fit. Women seem to love him, and I, as a secure heterosexual, would agree that he's what would be considered "handsome".
Abyss looks like Hugo Reyes on Nutrisystem, but still with love handles. Need I say more?
'BIG TIME' WRESTLING ABILITY: This isn't about hurrachanranas and shooting star presses. This is about the "main event wrestling style", which is the ability to work a 15 minute main event with anyone, without it looking the least bit hokey. Cena's had plenty of experience, performing in main event matches for over five years with a variety of opponents, so he has it down to a science. Even people who HATE him will admit that he's had his share of "four star" matches.
Abyss is confined by the LSD-induced booking of TNA, but the big man has performed well with the likes of AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, and many others. Granted, a lot of his matches rely on the usual hardcore tripe, but we'll go "yay" for Abyss here.
MEDIA SAVVY: John Cena's done movies, appeared on prime time TV shows, and can be interviewed on Entertainment Tonight without looking like a goof. In other words, if Vince McMahon had to send one wrestler onto the interview circuit to represent him, Cena might be his first choice. Cena held his own on talk shows during the Chris Benoit fall out, and he didn't look stupid. Mission accomplished.
Abyss….umm….I guess this would get an incomplete. I mean, he's appeared on "Blue Collar TV" and "The Best Damn Sports Show Period", but then again, haven't we all?
CREDIBILITY: John Cena's name is synonymous with being a famous wrestler. You can make the claim that his very name cracks the pantheon with Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Andre the Giant, etc. If you say his name to a school teacher or a co-worker or even your parents, and none of them watch wrestling, there's a 70% chance that they know who John Cena is. Granted, a lot of that has to do with WWE's well-honed form of marketing, but still.
Abyss is nowhere near a household name. Ask the aforementioned people in your life. Maybe your teacher will say "Like "Seasons in the Abyss", the Slayer album?". First off, that's as close as you're going to get to Abyss being recognized right now, and second, your teacher is awesome.
BEHAVIOR: The ability to be a law abiding citizen, as well as avoid being a cancer among the boys in the locker room. Cena stays out of trouble, although the lack of backlash against him may be due to others fearing for their own careers, should they speak out against him. But still, Cena seems like a nice man for the most part.
Abyss seems to be the same way. He's worked closely with TNA's creative staff during the early Spike TV run, and you never hear a bad thing about him. He seems eager to please, and has proven to be a reliable hand in a promotion where turmoil is common. So, good on Abyss.
But, of course, a lot of these qualities that are required of a main event-caliber superstar tend to hinge upon how management and bookers set the table. After all, WCW once had Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, and Chris Benoit under contract in the same three year stretch, and none of them came anywhere close to the heights they'd see in WWE later on.
So, now that we've established that a power player like Hulk Hogan thinks SO highly of Abyss that he's willing to make a somewhat reaching comparison between Abyss and John Cena, you'd think that Hogan would do everything imaginable to put "The Monster" on the fast track and protect him, right?
Hogan's grand scheme to make Abyss into the next John Cena, apparently, is to make him a starstruck doofus with a limited intellect.
In other words, Eugene with a mask.
The trouble began when Hogan saved Abyss from a massive beatdown at the hands of several heels, including everyone's favorite camera-hogging non-draw, Eric Bischoff. Hogan took Abyss aside and explained that he had to stop being such a basket case because, damn it, Abyss was once a feared monster who used to rip opponents apart like wrapping paper. Abyss had better shape up, and recapture that old monster spirit, sayeth Hulk.
That was good.
So Hogan gave Abyss his WWE Hall of Fame ring, and indicated that the ring would help give him the guidance and ability to become the top star of TNA.
That was not good.
(Quick sidenote: does every WWE Hall of Fame ring have mystical powers, or just Hogan's? Because TNA could do a segment where Ken Anderson disrupts the funeral of recently deceased Hall of Famer Baron Mikel Scicluna, and have him snatch the ring from the corpse's body, so that he can combat Abyss' power! Or they can become tag team partners with wonder twin rings. I know, bad idea, bad….wait, hang on, I think Eric Bischoff's faxing me a job offer….)
The problem I have isn't so much this wondrous hunk of finger metal that Hogan offered Abyss. The problem I have is their association. I mean, I recognize that Hogan is possibly the biggest draw in wrestling history, and that it's a good idea to try and use some of his rub to make somebody a bigger star, and Abyss is as good a choice as any.
But Hogan, let's face it….is not cool. Granted, we all mark out when he makes one of his nostalgic one-time appearances in WWE, but that's not because we want to see him vanquish some villainous title holder and become champion again. We cheer for Hogan out of time-earned respect. He's a relic from the 1980's who, if he didn't have a semi-famous daughter and a forearm tattoo, would be so far removed from "hip and relevant" that his agent would be fielding calls from "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here".
About 85% of us who watch wrestling would at least agree that Hogan is welcome as a fun diversion who's entitled to pop the fans, since he helped build the industry. As far as his current presence within TNA, let's make a comparison to another entity.
In the NBA, who would the Hogan equivalent be? I guess Michael Jordan, right? After all, they're the biggest stars of their eras, and their eras were roughly at the same time, so it works. Both men are certainly world famous, to be sure, and neither one of them can act, so let's go with that.
If the NBA, much like TNA, found themselves desperate to build its stars, they could re-associate Jordan with their product. Moreso than his ownership of the Bobcats, obviously. So let's say Jordan was brought in to make, say, Kevin Durant a bigger star. Not a bad idea, since Durant has "future star" plastered all over him.
If Durant fawned over Jordan, generally acted slow intellectually, and his eyes bugged out when Jordan handed him his 1991 NBA Championship ring, would you take Durant seriously?
Of course not. Besides, Kevin Durant would never lower himself to that.
Neither would John Cena.
If Hogan is serious about turning Abyss into John Cena, then he needs to step back and realize that he could never give off a healthy rub by teaming with Abyss, all the while running through his slow 1980's paced offense.
Abyss needs a fresher look, more time to work with good opponents, and a chance to gain footholds with media outlets before we can make any sort of comparisons between him and the Doctor of Thuganomics.
Sound difficult? It is. Not just anyone can perfect the formula like Cena has, and that's why he's a mega star. That's also why Hogan's comment about his goals for Abyss looks so incredibly short-sighted and stupid.
Sadly, Abyss is about to learn the hard way that just because Hulk anoints you with "a-mania" doesn't mean you're coated in Teflon.
Pastamania, anyone?

Right now, my vocation is being a medical student at UIC College of Medicine. I am past my pre-clinical years so I actually spend a lot of time in the hospital and a lot less time studying. I am graduating medical school in a year and I have decided that I want to pursue a career in obstetrics/gynecology. One issue that I have been struggling with this year and probably in the years to come is abortion.
Here are some basic stats: every year in the U.S, there are 1.3 million abortions, most performed before 12 weeks of life. 10 years after their abortion, at least 70% of women regret their choice. But abortions performed today are relatively safe and only about 1 in 100 women suffer complications. Since Roe v Wade legalized abortion in 1973, more women have sought abortions while significantly less have died from them.
Abortion is an issue that has polarized politics and even the medical profession. Since the time of Hippocrates, there have been codified values that every medical practitioner should follow. They are as follows: 1) autonomy, the patient has the right to refuse or choose their treatment; 2) beneficence, the practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient; 3) non-malfeasance, first do no harm; 4) justice, scarce resources should be distributed equitably; 5) dignity; 6) truthfulness and honesty. Is abortion ethical based on those guidelines? Like several other hot button topics in medicine, there is no clear answer because abortion can be understood to violate some principles while respecting others.
The Bible does not explicitly address the issue of abortion. But Genesis 1:27 clearly states: "So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him, male and female he created them". God has a plan for all life, even from the moment of conception. In reference to John, Luke 1:14 writes: "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb". An early Christian treatise, The Didache 2.2 (c. A.D. 85-110) commands, "thou shalt not murder a child by abortion nor kill them when born." Another non-canonical early Christian text, the Letter of Barnabas 19.5 (c. A.D. 130), said: "You shall not abort a child nor, again, commit infanticide". It is clear that LIFE is part of God's awesome plan and the taking of life is SIN, a deviation from God's perfect plan.
In struggling with this issue, God has forced me to acknowledge my rebellious heart towards Him. I am distracted by what the medical community defines as ethical but I must be bound by God's laws. As 1 Cor. 3:19 clearly states: "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness." Even though I may swear an oath to my profession, my identity comes from my relationship with Christ. A passage that I have been meditating over is Dt. 30:10: "If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, [and] if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul…" It is not a burden to follow God's commandments but instead a glad acknowledgment that He is a merciful God with a plan to redeem his people. In this specific situation, I must have faith that abortion is not the best way to love these women. By performing an act that is so in violation to God's plan, we hurt them more than we can hope to help them.
This winter, I will be doing a "trial residency" at UCSF. UCSF has a great OB/GYN program but it is best known for their family planning curriculum (which includes contraceptive counseling, sterilizations, and 1st trimester abortions). Please pray that I will love and serve my patients and follow God in everything that I do.
Our next schedule will be for the summer period (May 16ththrough August 22nd). If you are available and would like to serve in any of these areas and/or want more information please email Daniel Matlack at drmatlack@gmail.com by May 2nd. Please send a message to Daniel even if you are currently on a team.
I've been a member of Immanuel for about two years and am grateful to be a part of this community. I am discovering that it is important to surround myself with Christians because on my own it's very difficult and a struggle for me to live the Christian life.
Currently, I work for MidwesternUniversityMedicalSchool in Downers Grove, IL. We have programs in Dentistry, Pharmacy, Clinical Psychology, Physical Assistant, Podiatry, and Physical Therapy. I serve as an eResources Librarian which means I make sure people are getting access to information they need and want. Also, I manage a portion of the University's web site. I work pretty closely with faculty and students. Many of our students are awesome and bright. They keep me feeling younger tooJ I'm also learning a ton related to the Health Sciences which is pretty cool.
I have an undergraduate degree in History and a Master's in Library and Information Sciences. In the role I am in now, it requires me be detail oriented and is pretty technical, so I am always looking for ways in which I can be creative. I believe God designed us as creative beings.
In 2008, I graduated from Harrington College of Design with a degree in Interior Architecture. I love beauty. I love creating beauty and being surrounded by it not in a superficial way, but more so in a real, raw way… (if that makes any sense). I am hoping to venture out and do something with this degree eventually and put it to good use.
I am not 100% sure that God has me where I am right now for his purpose. I am learning to trust in Him. I do know, however, that over the years, God has humbled me, and as a result, I am able to relate to others in a more real and genuine way. I like to appear as if I have it all handled, look good, and am in control, but the truth is I'm not in control as much as I'd like to think I am. It's really comforting to know that He is and has a plan for all of us. I continue to pray that God will help me and use me to service his purposes.
Don't forget that the next MISSION CLASS is this Sunday after the second service.
Growing up in Singapore, home-schooled by my missionary parents, I learned to read early and read often.
Education wasn't too hard for me.
I pick up concepts quickly; I remember facts and logic always fell into place. I'm not so good with names and dates, but always tested well. Spiritual gift, maybe, should thank my mother's excellent educational foundation, perhaps, blessing certainly.
So in high school I got myself into a college-level engineering program. I really loved… the people there. Some of the best years of my life, for some reason! And I was good at it: graduated second in my class. Turns out there's a word for that: salutatorian. Yeah, I wouldn't have known it either. (Curse you, William McClendon) Did enough math in high school that I never had to take another math class again. And (shame on me) I didn't.
But I didn't… enjoy engineering.
So I went to college for art!
Computer graphics: just as spacial, just as geometric, none of that 'math' nonsense and nothing collapses on innocent people if I'm goofing off at the computer.
Computer… animation. Do some story telling, why not, in the process. Wasn't so good at it, not the 'art' stuff. Oh the computer was no problem, and I didn't lack for ideas… just didn't have that endless drive to create. Too content to view, to read, to play.
I had no trouble graduating (despite World of Warcraft's best efforts), what I did not have was a portfolio. Ended up… drifting awhile. Unsure.
Cousin invited me to stay with him. Figured there'd be more for me in Chicago than in Richmond, Virginia. No one needs someone with computer skills who thinks spatially to relive the Civil War.
Then my uncle asks me, out of the blue, I do 'computer things', right? Well, sure. Need something?
Turns out his company, where my cousin works, a small investment firm, had a graphic designer who was out sick for a long while. Needed someone to help, just once a month, get their performance reporting formatted and out the door to investors and potential clients. I knew some, but not all of the software, and learned the rest on the job. Started part-time as a consultant and was hired, maybe a year later for a full-time position.
Data, you see, is not information. Information is not knowledge. After knowledge comes understanding and wisdom, but those are quite beyond my power. What I do is take data and wrap it in context and present it such that it's easy to read. Sounds simple, but has been very challenging for me. I've learned Adobe InDesign like the back of my hand, I've dabbled in typography, and sampled branding. I taught myself XML (convincing the computer that this number, right here, is the December_Return_2009 in all it's glory) and Excel.
I love my job. I learn new things constantly, no two projects are the same and I feel genuinely helpful.
More importantly: my uncle runs a Christian business. There are prayer meetings every week and everyone is a joy to work with.
It's not what I hoped to do. It's not even what I thought might happen. But once again God knew best. My vocation? To communicate, clearly, the complicated.
How I got here? Grace alone.
Daniel H – a member of Immanuel and Moody Junior – is doing an internship this summer with the church plant. He wanted to check if anyone at Immanuel needs (or knows anyone who needs) house sitting this summer at any point between the beginning of May and beginning of August or maybe had an extra room for a boarder. Contact him with leads.
Saturday Night Prayer Meeting is tonight at 7:00 PM at The Meeting Place.
Peter Hong, long-time member of Immanuel, and his wife Lydia have been in Thailand for the last year or so and are preparing to go back next month.
This Sunday in both services they will be sharing a little bit about what they will doing and their needs for prayer and financial support. For those interested in hearing more, there will be lunch provided after the second service where you can talk more with Peter and Lydia and find out ways you can partner with them in their ministry.
If you know you want to attend that lunch, please RSVP to info so we can have a rough idea of how much food to order.

Q: UWP Customized Splash Screen Sample I want to create a splash screen in UWP. I want do more than just center an image in the screen. I thought it would be a lot more straight forward. I saw these articles:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/apps/hh868191(v=win.10)
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Splash-Screen-in-Universal-42c0b57a
When I first opened up this sample, I thought that it worked... But, it doesn't actually do anything. It's actually just a furphy. If you look carefully at the screen, it actually just shows an image (defined in the manifest) for a second or two as the app is starting up, and then when the app is loaded, it switches to the extended screen with a progress ring. I've seen samples where people turn on the splash screen image, but that's not want I need to achieve. Part of the problem is that UWP app startup time is terrible even on fast machines. Even blank apps with nothing in them take several seconds to start up.
Is there a UWP sample floating around that actually a) cuts out the splash image from the manifest, and b) allows us to replace it with something else?
Note: I do not wish to remove the splash screen. I want to customize it.

A: The main splash screen (centered splash screen image defined in the package.appxmanifest) will always be displayed unless you make it optional - while even in this case it will be shown to the user when the app doesn't load immediately.
To make the splash screen optional, you have to open the manifest file as XML, add the following namespace declaration:
<Package
  ...
  xmlns:uap5="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/uap/windows10/5">

And then add the uap5:optional attribute to your splash screen:
<uap:SplashScreen ... uap5:Optional="true" />

You can implement an extended splash screen, which is described in the articles you linked. If you postpone all initialization for the extended splash screen, it is quite likely that the optional default splash screen will not display at all.
However, although the samples only show the same image with progress ring, you can put any content you want on the extended splash screen, you are in full control of it because it is a normal Page.

Floor pads - continual development
17th of May 2013
Floor pads have come a long way since they were first developed in the 1950s. Richard Jones, market manager for floor & surface care for 3M – the company said to have invented the floor pad - talks about the evolution of the product and considers the impact that the continued development of the floor pad has had on the market today.
When the first floor pads were developed by 3M in the 1950s they actually evolved as a by-product of other inventions. But the real story of the floor pad actually began long before that.
It was in 1938 when Al Boese, an employee at 3M's tape lab, was told by his boss that the company was seeking an inexpensive, non-corrosive, non-woven backing solution for its electrical tape product. However, the only non-corrosive backing that anyone knew of at that time was a synthetic acetate cloth that had not been covered by a 3M patent.
So Boese spent many months studying fibres and conducting various experiments aimed at binding them together without weaving them. Eventually he hit on the solution of applying heat and pressure to the fibres.
The product that Boese developed in 1950 on the back of this discovery was not, in fact, an improved backing for electrical tape but a strong decorative ribbon with a surface sheen. This was an immediate hit when it was first introduced and meant 3M had not only created a new product - but also a new market for gift-wrapping materials to go with it.
In 1958 3M went on to combine an evolved version of this non-woven material with its own abrasives, which were distributed uniformly throughout the pad to produce Scotch-Brite scrubbing and polishing pads. And the rest, as they say, is history.
This 'accidental' development of the floor pad is typical of 3M's strategy to explore new technologies and come up with innovative products as a result. The company has a policy of allowing its employees to experiment and develop new products they were not necessarily looking for. Another example of this is Tambocor, a major heart anti-arrhythmic drug introduced in 1982 purely because the company began exploring new applications for its proprietary fluorochemical technology.
Of course, floor cleaning machines did exist before the 1950s but these tended to be fitted with pads made from steel wool. This was not an ideal material to use since steel wool is both aggressive and prone to rust while offering limited durability. 3M discovered that by combining a durable, non-woven material in various formats with a range of different abrasives, an entire line of floor pads could be created for various cleaning and polishing machines that could be used on many different types of floors.
Three parts to a floor pad
There are three main elements to a floor pad: the non-woven fibres; the abrasive surface, and the adhesive that binds the two together. The fibres are key to determining the application of the pad and various materials are used in their construction. These include polyester, nylon and polyamide as well as several types of natural fibres. The size and length of the fibres within the non-woven material and the diameter of the pad itself also help to adapt the pad for use in different applications.
Abrasives - the scouring particles – were originally only available in powder form. These are carefully selected for their size, shape and hardness and can be made of a huge variety of substances including corundum, silicium carbide and talc. The abrasive surface is made up of these particles of varying sizes that are mixed together and glued into the resin.
The adhesive, or resin, links the fibres together and strengthens the entire structure. A good resin will adhere strongly to the fibres and offer a high level of water resistance. It will also provide a coating to protect the fibres from chemical cleaning agents since harsh chemicals may stiffen the fibres and reduce the life of the pad. Another key function of the resin is to adhere the abrasives
to the fibres.
In the early days, 3M's first range of non-woven abrasive floor pads consisted of three products: a tan-coloured pad for polishing, a green pad for scrubbing and a black pad for stripping. These colours have now become the industry standard but over the years 3M and other floor pad companies have developed an increasingly sophisticated range of pads to cope with a wide variety of floor surfaces and various different applications.
To provide some idea of the differences between floor pads, a product designed for polishing would be made up of thin fibres since this would maximise the number of points of contact it would have to the floor surface. This, in turn, helps to improve the polishing effect. A black floor pad for stripping applications, on the other hand, would comprise coarse fibres that would also need to be strong enough to withstand the tough, abrasive action required when stripping down floors.
Floors would need to be stripped, for example, if sealants or contaminants had to be removed from the floor surface before cleaning or polishing could take place. The ideal black pad would have an aggressive action and an open construction in order to prevent any clogging.
Original elements remain
Despite the many developments and new products in the floor pad market, some of the original elements remain and black is still synonymous with stripping. 3M's own black pad uses a blend of synthetic fibres laid out in an open textured non-woven construction. This helps to increase friction on the floor while providing the ability to remove black marks and stains.
The green pad for scrubbing consists mainly of nylon fibres in an open-textured construction bonded with a synthetic adhesive. The pad can be used with standard-speed rotary floor machines or automatic scrubber dryers and can be employed for the daily wet scrubbing of non-protected hard floors. The green pad is also used to prepare hard floors for recoating with floor finish and for stripping soft floors such as linoleum or soft vinyl.
Tan floor pads are still used for polishing, and our tan pads use a blend of natural and synthetic fibres to remove scuffs and marks while also providing a good gloss finish.
However, polishing today has become a much more complex business and instead of simply offering one pad, manufacturers now offer a whole array of floor pad options depending on the type of floor in question and the level of gloss required. For example, we at 3M have a pink floor pad that removes scuffs and marks from harder finishes in high traffic areas plus a blue pad for the frequent burnishing of dull floors and purple and sienna pads for polishing floor surfaces such as marble, concrete and terrazzo.
Choosing the right floor pad
The advent of floor pads that work without the use of chemicals has possibly been the major recent breakthrough in the floor pad market. Such pads enable stone, tile, marble and terrazzo floors to be maintained and polished without the use of floor finishes and strippers. Eliminating the use of chemicals provides huge benefits since it not only improves the sustainability of the cleaning system, it also increases staff safety and removes the chemical cost element from
the equation.
However, customers must be careful to ensure that they choose the right floor pad for the floor in question. Sometimes the reasons for this is obvious since an aggressive black pad for stripping would potentially scratch a delicate floor surface beyond repair, while a floor pad for polishing would have little effect on a badly damaged floor from which sealants and black marks would need to be removed. But in some cases – for example, when it comes to the differences between polishing pads – the variations between each are more subtle. Here an expert in floorcare would be able to advise the customer on which pad to use where for optimum results and cost-effectiveness.
It is true to say that at first glance many customers might be confused at the fact that floor pads literally come in a complete spectrum of options. But the tradition of colour-coding floor pads in industry means that cleaning and maintenance operatives quickly become accustomed to which colour to use where, even when the language barrier may be an issue. Many manufacturers offer an illustrated guide to their products and include information on which types of floor each pad
should be used plus the speeds at which the relevant machine should be set and the type of floor finish that can be expected afterwards.
Floor pads are evolving all the time. In the 1980s, for example, 3M Philippines designed a Scotch-Brite cleaning pad in the shape of a foot after discovering that Filipinos tended to polish floors with their feet. New products are also constantly being introduced such as our 3M Scotch-Brite Surface Prep Pads that can be used with either water or neutral detergent,
and the 3M Melamine Floor Pad made from high-strength melamine foam for cleaning shopping centres and other large open spaces.
As new types of flooring continues to be developed and as new trends in floor finishes evolve, the floor pad market will continue to grow and innovate at a similar rate. And we at 3M intend to continue as we started and remain at the forefront of that innovation.

Unit HomeAboutOur HistoryHistory of the Assistant DirectorsDale L. Harpham
Dale L. Harpham
Joined July 8, 1935, as a trombonist
Assistant Director May 1, 1955-April 17, 1972
Director April 18, 1972-October 31, 1974
Twenty-third Marine Band Director Dale L. Harpham was in sixth grade when, at his brother's urging, he purchased his first trombone for a single dollar. With the trombone in hand and the aid of mail-order music lessons and extraordinary talent, he began to excel on the instrument. While still in sixth grade, Harpham attended a concert by the United States Marine Band in a nearby city during the band's concert tour. In his own words, he "promptly fell in love with the organization" and resolved to become a member.
Harpham's first music teacher was Worthy Tuttle, a retired circus cornetist and conductor of the Pleasant Lake, Ind., town band. Under Tuttle's instruction, Harpham's abilities came to the attention of David Hughes, instrumental supervisor for the county schools. With coaching from Hughes and, later from Hughes' brother, L. Rush Hughes, Harpham advanced so rapidly that he was sent to Fort Wayne, Ind., for further study with music professors Angelo Cafaro and Vern McDermott.
By the time Harpham graduated from high school in 1935, his brother Dee had joined the Marine Band as a trombonist. At Dee's suggestion, Dale moved to Washington, D.C., where he was tutored by Robert E. Clark, principal trombonist and soloist with the band.
On July 8, 1935, Harpham was accepted to the Marine Band by then-Director Captain Taylor Branson. At that time, members of the Marine Band were required to perform on both wind and string instruments; Harpham performed cello with the then-fledgling Marine Chamber Orchestra in addition to playing trombone with the band. He was frequently featured as a soloist on the band's radio and television broadcasts, and was soon advanced to the position of assistant principal trombone with the Marine Band. His versatility also included serving as vocalist and concert moderator, as well as narrator for such features as Peter and the Wolf, Tubby the Tuba, and The Man Who Invented Music.
After years of concerts, tours, and White House ceremonies, Harpham began playing a leadership role as leader of the Marine Band's dance band, as well as conducting the band, orchestra, and brass choir at numerous events. He was appointed Assistant Director of the United States Marine Band May 1, 1955, a post he held until his appointment as 23rd Director, April 18, 1972.
As Director of the United States Marine Band, Harpham served as musical advisor to the White House and conducted the Marine Band at numerous White House and State functions, including the inauguration of former President Richard Nixon, a special performance by the orchestra in Yugoslavia at the President's request, and a performance at President Nixon's home in San Clemente, Calif.
Harpham's musical and interpretive abilities were often showcased when on tour with the Marine Band or performing at the White House. On one occasion at the White House, Harpham's conducting came to the attention of the distinguished conductor Leopold Stokowski who later wrote, "You have trained a splendid orchestra and I know what it costs in effort and thought in order to do that. Your performance that night was unusually vital and had a kind of electricity that is rare."
Harpham retired as a lieutenant colonel on Oct. 31, 1974, after 39 years of service. Following his retirement, Harpham devoted his time and talents to guest conducting young musicians. It is through this facet of his work that he became known and loved to hundreds of young musicians with whom he came in contact. Harpham once commented, "I am a member of the Marine Band today because of the warm understanding and assistance of the public school music teacher." Throughout his life, Harpham did his best to return the favor by sharing his musical gifts with young people. Possessed with penetrating musical insight and a keen sense of humor, Harpham brought to his musical appearances the most precious of all musical gifts: the innate ability to inspire.
Harpham was a longtime member of the prestigious American Bandmasters Association and had served on its board of directors as well as on the committee for its research center. He also was a member of the Gridiron Club, the Alfalfa Club, and the Military Order of the Carabao.

Facebook Aiming For $5bn IPO As It Prepares To Float
By Andrew Robertson February 2, 2012 February 2, 2012
1 Comment on Facebook Aiming For $5bn IPO As It Prepares To Float
The main news story across the social media and tech world today is obviously the Facebook IPO. The world's largest social network was originally thought to float for around $10bn, but Facebook have said it would seek to raise $5bn (£3.16bn, €3.8bn).
There was some interesting information to come from the documents provided by Facebook as it filed its intention to float with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Up until now, Facebook has been a private company, and as such was under no obligation to publish detailed accounts.
But as it moves towards an IPO it has been revealed that Facebook's net income in 2011 rose 65% to $1bn, off revenues of $3.71bn. It was also disclosed that founder Mark Zuckerberg owns 28.4% of Facebook, and also that the network now has 845 million monthly users and 443 million daily users.
A letter from Mark Zuckerberg explained where he saw the company going, and reminded potential investors of just what exactly they were buying into:
"Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission – to make the world more open and connected… We think it's important that everyone who invests in Facebook understands what this mission means to us, how we make decisions and why we do the things we do."
If Facebook reaches it $5bn target – which is pretty much a given – it would be the biggest IPO for an internet company since Google and its early backers raised $1.67bn in 2004. However, while acknowledging Facebook's achievements thus far, Kathleen Smith – principal of IPO at investment advisory firm Renaissance Capital – does wonder where the giant social network goes from here. She said Facebook's numbers were "very impressive," but pondered "What new areas of business is it expecting to pursue beyond display ads?"

"Although I'm a lawyer and lawyers are known for being hard to deal with, picky, and difficult, I pride myself on being a deal maker, not a deal breaker. The art of putting a deal together is the ultimate skill and it is what I do for a living. Making things overly complicated doesn't help anyone. If someone can't read and understand a contract then it does no good. A real estate transaction is often the biggest deal of a person's life, but that doesn't mean that it can't be made simple and reasonable to understand."
Blake moved to north Florida in 1990 from his native Charlotte, NC after graduating from engineering school. His first job in Jacksonville was working for Unison Industries as a Mechanical Engineer designing aircraft ignition systems. His permanent magnet alternator and ignition exciter box project designs are on the Boeing 777 (GE90 Engine), Canadair Regional Jet (Rolls Royce RB211 Engine), Allison 250 jet helicopter engine, and the Saab Grippen fighter jet.
He earned his Certified Flight Instructor Rating in 1993 and paid his way through law school at U.F. working as a flight instructor and charter pilot. While at U.F., Blake was proud to win the Trial Team competition his freshman year, and then place 4th in the nation in the ATLA National Trial Team competition. He graduated with honors in 1996 from U.F. and entered private practice in real estate law that same year with the predecessor firm of Briley & Deal.
An entrepreneur at heart, Blake has owned several small businesses including Sterling Flight Services Air Charters and Flight Instruction at Craig Airport, Ocrakoke Investments real estate development, and Briley & Deal. Blake's engineering background coupled with experience building houses gives him an in-depth understanding of the needs of both builders and clients who are building houses. Blake also has experience in land development, having been a managing partner in the development of the Ponte Vedra East and Payasada Estates communities in St. Johns County. During his almost two decades of real estate law practice he has successfully handled over 10,000 closings ranging in value from $100 to $72,000,000. His experience has covered almost every aspect and area of real estate transactional law. He is an Airline Transport Rated Pilot with over 8,000 hours flight time and is rated in the Sabreliner and Cessna Citation Series business jets.
Blake enjoys flying, fishing, the islands, boating, traveling, and snow skiing. He is an active member of Crosswater Community Church where he serves as a missionary and as a teacher for the Awana Sunday School program. He is a proud and loving father of his two children- Ian born in 1999 and Julia born in 2001. He has two brothers, Darron and Michael, as well as his parents Blake & Shirley- who all live in the Statesville, NC area.
