It's impressive how cars can cover miles when reaching a destination. But you know what's more impressive? When cars go the extra mile and insist they're more than just the rolling receptacles they're designed to be.
In today's blog, APW looks at some fairly amusing but definitely amazing cars that were successful in expanding their primary role to roll.
We're not so sure how this will fare against its sturdier counterparts, but when a Beetle says he can go to battle, missiles and all, we listen and acknowledge the boldness. Such a cute war machine!
We'll just go ahead and say it—carpool! Two friends from Los Angeles decided they'd take carpooling to a whole new level and ended up with this car…pool. It's a sweet-looking, operational Cadillac tagged as the World's Fastest Hot Tub.
Fun fact: The car's original V8 engine is used to keep the water temperature perfect. Just one of those days wherein science wins!
Bring that Cadillac-turned-hot tub to the parking lot with this Hummer and it's an instant pool party. With that booming sound system installed, this tricked-out SUV won't just be humming but hollering for everyone in the 'hood to come out and rave till the crack of dawn.
Definitely one of the most iconic cars ever to grace the silver screen. By that alone, the car doubles as a piece of history. But the more obvious reason it's here on the list is because this winged DeLorean, as we all know, is a banging time machine we have, for once in our lives, wished we could've piloted.
To most, especially the younger generation of future drivers, this guy based on a Chevrolet Corvette (C6) isn't just an anthropomorphic stock car—it's childhood.


"In Style – Hong Kong", the largest trade, investment and lifestyle promotion event ever held in Vietnam, kicked off in Ho Chi Minh City on September 20, attracting thousands of Vietnamese and Hong Kong firms.
Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council Vincent HS Lo said "In Style – Hong Kong" introduces unique culture, cuisine and entertainment of Hong Kong to the Vietnamese public.
According to him, two-way trade between Vietnam and Hong Kong (China) increases by nearly 12% each year, reaching US$18 billion last year. Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia and the largest importer of Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Hong Kong serves as a gateway for trade between Vietnam and China, and between Vietnam and many other Asian markets.
Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Paul Chan Mo-po said the event offers a wide array of Hong Kong's world-class products and professional services to Vietnamese partners and friends, adding that via the event, Hong Kong wants to further boost economic and trade ties as well as people-to-people exchange with Vietnam.
During the two-day event, thematic seminars on the potential of cooperation in investment, trade and logistics will also be held.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung said Vietnamese and Hong Kong businesses put high hope on their future ventures.
He said Vietnam is now the largest trade partner of Hong Kong in ASEAN while Hong Kong is the ninth largest trade partner and the sixth largest foreign investor of Vietnam. As of the late August, Hong Kong invested in 1,353 projects worth US$19 billion in Vietnam.
As a dynamic and most free economy in the world, Hong Kong is the third largest supplier of foreign direct investment in Asia.
Vietnam welcomes Hong Kong firms to expand operations in the country in fields of strength such as infrastructure, support industry, and finance-banking service, Trung added.

Planning an auction for farming equipment might seem daunting when you first consider it. A number of things need to be planned in advance, and there are multiple unknowns to anyone new to doing an auction. If you're thinking about organizing a farm equipment auction, then keep reading to learn four helpful tips you can use.
Arrange for the right professionals to inspect all the items you're considering selling. Your items should only be appraised by a reputable business with a proven history in situations such as industrial equipment auctions. You're not going to get good advice on pricing for your farm equipment if it is appraised by a jewelry expert. You need to know what things are worth in advance of your event, so hire the right professional for optimum results.
If you want to attract prospective buyers, then your farm equipment auction needs to be publicized. Be sure to let any industry friends know about it, as they might help you spread the word. Don't feel like you need to allow certain folks the possibility of buying some of your inventory prior to the event. If you wind up selling a half dozen of your best pieces prior to the auction doors are open to all, then you run the risk of word getting out and no one showing up to buy the rest.
You need to secure any sale items securely. If someone asks for a preview in advance of the auction, be mindful of equipment value and take any precautions you can against theft. A lot of folks do like to preview items prior to attending the actual auction. How you handle any preview process is entirely up to you, but just be certain you're equipment is staying safe.
Always practice honesty when dealing with attendees, and follow any advice your auctioneer gives you. A farm equipment auction can prove stressful, just as much as any other kind of auction, but don't let that stress get you down. With enough prior preparation and the assistance of the right professionals, you have a good chance of a successful auction of farm equipment.
A number of factors determine the odds of success of good buying and selling happening at an auction for used farm equipment.

The College Database Names UNF Top Florida College for Return on Investment
Media Contact: Joanna Norris, Associate Director
Department of Public Relations
The College Database, the most current and comprehensive source for U.S. college and university data, has named the University of North Florida to its top colleges for highest financial return on investment in Florida. UNF is ranked No. 5 on the list-dubbed the Florida 20-30 Club-for providing a high-quality education at an affordable price.
The 19 Florida schools-public and private not for profit-that made the list have annual tuition rates below $20,000, and recent graduates who earn more than $30,000 per year on average. UNF students enter the workforce earning an estimated $40,400 per year after graduation.
UNF was the only Jacksonville college to make the list, just behind the University of Florida and Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. Flagler College in St. Augustine was ranked No. 18.
"Our goal with the 20-30 project is to highlight the colleges and universities offering students the greatest return on their financial investment," said Wes Ricketts, vice president and general manager of The College Database. "As a college student, it's important to know that your educational decision will pay off and pay off soon."
The College Database is a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to provide free information about educational options both nationally and locally to students, parents and other interested parties. This goal is accomplished by making all information and tools on the site free and easy to access. The website uses only the most highly respected, authoritative data sets from the federal government and the Carnegie Foundation.
More information about the Florida 20-30 Club can be found at http://www.onlinecollegesdatabase.org/online-colleges-in-florida/#high-starting-salary-colleges-Florida.
UNF, a nationally ranked university located on an environmentally beautiful campus, offers students who are dedicated to enriching the lives of others the opportunity to build their own futures through a well-rounded education.
The University of North Florida's Student Union has been recognized by the Florida Chapter of The American Institute of Architects (AIA Florida) as the best educational building and voted the top building in the state by architects' votes. UNF's Student Union was also voted by the public as the No. 4 building overall in the state and is the only local building in the top five.
"We're thrilled to have been voted as the No. 1 educational facility in Florida and to be selected as the top pick by architects," said Zak Ovadia, director of UNF Campus Planning, Design and Construction. "It's also an honor to be among the buildings recognized by AIA as the top 100 buildings that have beneficially added to the unique architectural fabric of Jacksonville and Northeast Florida."
In March, AIA Florida launched the Top 100 Buildings statewide online competition, inviting the public to vote for their favorite Florida building. This year marks the 100th anniversary of AIA Florida, recognizing the important contributions architects have made in the Sunshine State. The competition identified 100 structures across the state that represents the best in architectural achievement. The public was encouraged to vote online and more than 2.4 million votes were cast overall.
Designed by Rink Design Partnership Inc., the 150,000-square-foot Student Union was completed in 2009. The $40.1 million facility was programmed to be the focal points for student activities and programs, dining facilities and offices for Student Government as well as the Division of Student and International Affairs.
The Student Union is in two parts separated by a student plaza, called Osprey Plaza, with a sunshade feature, which along with the curvature of the building, creates a most distinctive visual effect. Both buildings are three stories and are comprised of a steel structure with brick and metal cladding.
The east building is mostly administrative and houses all Student Government functions, Student and International Affairs offices, a bank, a Starbucks and snack store, the game room and studios for Osprey Radio and Osprey TV. The west building contains a food court with five fast-food outlets on the main floor, the UNF Bookstore (two stories), the Boathouse restaurant and various meeting rooms on the second level, four ballrooms on the third level along with numerous student lounges and meeting rooms of various capacities.
One of the most unique elements of the Student Union is a 108,000-square-foot grass amphitheater with a permanent stage. Located behind the west building, the Coxwell Amphitheater, which can seat 6,000 spectators, is constructed with a nine-degree elevation for optimum viewing by crowds attending concerts, performances, fairs and other events.
The Student Union follows the University's other new buildings on campus as a certified "green" building, meaning it uses energy-saving measures, recycled materials and natural light to improve the work environment.
The Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects, headquartered in Tallahassee, represents the interests of more than 3,600 members in Florida and the Caribbean. Members adhere to a code of ethics and professional conduct that assures the client, the public and colleagues of an AIA-member architect's dedication to the highest standards in professional practice.

I've held in my review of Black Panther long enough. I gave you all ample time to go see the movie and now it's time to talk about this film. I will talk about the pros and cons in addition to my own theories on the upcoming Marvel films. So here's your final warning before the spoilers happen.
First and foremost, one time for the culture. I loved that aspect. Having a superhero that looks like me is amazing. I didn't think it made a big of a deal until I actually saw the movie. So for the culture is was amazing.
The action scenes were great. The car chase seen was dope and the battle inside WaKanda was also visually good.
Wakanda's technology is on a whole new level.
The supporting characters steal the show. Killmonger is an amazingly awesome foe to T'Challa. Mbaku was menacing yet fair. Nakia and Shuri were both great.
The Black America/ African struggle was finally addressed. There's always been this thing amongst us and for good reason. I'm glad it was a central point of the movie.
The ending was hella cheesy bro! Like you end with a spaceship in the hood? I also hated the fact the kids at the end wanted to break down the ship and sell the scrape parts. Like damn could you not make us look that bad?
Killmonger's death. Man, I really didn't want him to die because the character was played perfectly. He was very relatable and had good intentions. He just wanted to go about it in a bad way.
T'Challa is a very boring character. Everyone overshadows him and he's not a very aggressive or brash person. He tends to just be in the scene while not owning it. Every other character is more momorable. Hell his mother, played by Angela Bassett, was more memorable.
The story is just ok. It seems to be worse if Killmonger is in fact dead. I also felt Klaue died a little too soon.
The CGI wasn't as good as other Marvel movies. I get the budget was probably smaller, but it wasn't up to the level of recent Marvel flicks.
Some of the fans are a bit extra. I totally get dressing up for the movie. I dressed up for Star Wars so I get it. Calling whites colonizers or making ape sounds when they speak is a bit much. I think this movie had a clear agenda and it will cause some to take it a bit too far.
Killmonger lives. I think T'Challa takes him back inside and brings him back hoping for a change in Killmonger.
Bucky will become the White Wolf. It seems Shuri has cured Bucky and cured his Winter Soldier issues. I also think this spells the end for Steve Rogers as Captain America. Bucky eventually become Captain America in the comics.
Wakanda definitely is sitting on top of the Soul Stone and Thanos knows it. He coming for that Infinity Stone first. He will also have access to vibranium. We are kinda tipped off to this in the trailers.
I don't think we will see Storm any time soon. I really like Nakia, but I know she will eventually turn on Black Panther. I think to see Storm there will need to be another lead up X-Men movie. Maybe Black Panther just makes a cameo in that film.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and pricy who I believe dies in the first Infinity Wars film. I believe Drax definitely dies and probably first. I believe Hawkeye finally did as well. I have a feeling Vision dies and his Infinity Stone is taken. I also believe Steve Rogers hands over the Captain America title to Bucky. For shock value, I think Loki dies as well.
Those are my thoughts and theories. How did you like the Black Panther movie. Send me a comment and let me know!

Jessica Kalb enjoys "kangaroo" bonding time with her triplet daughters.
It had been 18 long months of fertility treatments with no success for Jessica Kalb and her husband, Justin. But at the last treatment, doctors discovered two viable embryos and implanted them in Jessica's uterus. At her check-up the following month, the couple got the surprise of their lives – Jessica was pregnant with triplets – all girls!
"We were a little nervous at first, but we were also excited!" says Jessica. Her pregnancy went smoothly, and Jessica went into labor on her own at 32 weeks. The babies were safely delivered on February 15, 2015, via C-section at Summerlin Hospital, ranging between three and three and a half pounds each.
NICU Clinical Supervisor Jennifer Hufano, RN, says they started a campaign promoting kangaroo care after learning about the benefits. "As soon as the baby is stable enough, parents can hold them skin-to-skin. This type of contact between parent and baby has been shown to improve the baby's vital signs, keep their temperature and blood pressure stable, and provide valuable bonding time," says Jennifer.
The babies stayed in the NICU for five weeks. Once the triplets were off the tubes, Jessica was able to "kangaroo" with all three babies at once. The girls, now almost nine months old, continue to thrive and are over the 100th percentile on the preemie growth chart.
For more information about the NICU, visit The Birthplace at Summerlin Hospital.

How do you say "home run" in Hebrew? Yale grad helps launch new Israeli baseball program
By Cindy Mindell
Israel has been home to the "great American pastime" since 1986, when a group of ex-pats founded the non-profit Israel Association of Baseball (IAB) to promote and develop the sport in Israel. Home of the Israeli National Baseball Team, the IAB is a member of the Israel Olympic Committee, the Confederation of European Baseball (CEB) and the International Baseball Federation (IBAF), the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), Major League Baseball International (MLBI), and Little League.
Now, in January, the first-ever cohort of American Jewish baseball players will land in Israel to kick off the Israel Baseball Experience (IBE), a new sports internship program created by Masa Israel. Yale graduate Josh Scharff, 25, is helping to coordinate the program.
Three decades after the sport was first introduced to a soccer-crazed country, the Israeli National Baseball Team is ranked 22nd in the world and sixth in Europe, and is preparing to compete in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in 2016. The team draws American Jewish greats to its roster: Israel's 2015 WBC team included former MLB All-Star Shawn Green and current MLB Rookie of the Year candidate, Joc Pederson, of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 2016 WBC team will include former Red Sox superstar Kevin Youkilis.
The sport is popular enough now that Masa Israel is launching its first-ever sports internship program, the Israel Baseball Experience. Founded in 2004, Masa Israel is a joint initiative of The Jewish Agency for Israel and the Israeli Government, which creates and facilitates internship, service, and study programs in Israel. To date, Masa Israel counts 100,000 alumni around the world.
The 18- to 29-year-old Israel Baseball Experience participants will spend five months in Israel, playing in the Premier League, the country's top baseball league, and helping to promote and develop the game by working with Israeli coaches and kids in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Bet Shemesh, Ra'anana, and Modiin. The program is sanctioned by the Israel Association of Baseball.
"There are many Jewish players in Major League Baseball today and over 200 in various development leagues, so there's no shortage of talented American Jewish baseball players who can compete for Israel on the world stage," says Andy Bloch, who designed the IBE program. "With some of the negative news coming out of Israel, we have an opportunity to make a very positive statement to the world about our athletes in Israel."
"As soon as I could stand up, my dad put a bat in my hand and I couldn't get enough of it," says Scharff, a native of St. Louis, Mo. who grew up in a mixed-faith family. "Baseball and Judaism went hand-in-hand: from an early age, I was involved both in religious school and baseball." A first-baseman, Scharff played through high school and was then recruited to play for Yale, where he studied Hebrew and majored in history. After graduating in 2013, he took his first trip to Israel on a teaching fellowship in an elementary school.
"That is when my passion for Israel really flourished," he says. Last year, while living in Boston and working for The David Project, Scharff decided to find a way to make a second trip. He offered his services to Nate Fish, national head coach of the Israel Association of Baseball. His timing was perfect: IAB needed help spreading the word about the fledgling Israel Baseball Experience program. Scharff arrived in August and has been steeped in the Israeli baseball scene ever since.
In addition to helping to organize the Masa Israel Baseball Experience, Scharff coaches Little League teams for 10- to 12-year-old Israeli children. He works with the Israel Baseball Academy, which is sanctioned by Major League Baseball, to develop Israel's best baseball prospects into college and professional players. He also plays for and manages the Jerusalem Lions, one of the teams in the Israel Premier League, the adult league. And he brings baseball into elementary schools as a way of recruiting new players.
Scharff says that he sees a range of Israeli Jews on the field, Ashkenazi and Sephardi, religious and secular. He hasn't yet heard baseball terminology expressed in Hebrew; instead, players tap into English words like "slide" and "block."
Amos Kamil, brand marketing director at the Jewish Agency for Israel, helped envision the IBE program in its early stages, and sees it as an effective way to bridge the culture gap with American Jewry.
"Baseball is the great American pastime," he notes, "so promoting the sport in Israel encourages increased interest in Israel from Jews in the U.S. — both those who are already concerned about the affairs of the Jewish State and those who may be more disconnected."
IBE is still recruiting participants for January 2016. For information visit www.masaisrael.org.

Sailor Hat for Raspberry Pi v2 Development Update
The original Sailor Hat for Raspberry Pi had some success as a marine embedded computer power supply and interface board, but the global semiconductor shortage has made it difficult to obtain the required components, and no boards have been manufactured since August 2021. Even though multiple interesting Raspberry Pi CM4 base boards have appeared during the past year, none have provided similar power management features as the SH-RPi. Due to frequent inquiries about the SH-RPi availability, I (Matti Airas) have decided to continue the development of the SH-RPi v2, which will be a completely redesign new version of the Sailor Hat for Raspberry Pi.
The SH-RPi v2 is a Hardware Add-on Top (HAT) for the Raspberry Pi that provides advanced power management features: wide 10-32V voltage-range input with current limiting, controlled shutdowns, uninterrupted power supply functionality for power glitches and voltage drops, as well as wake-up timers and hardware watchdog features, resetting the Raspberry Pi if the operating system crashes. The new version is a complete redesign of the original SH-RPi, and it is intended to be a more robust and reliable product, with a wider range of applications.
In contrast to the SH-RPi v1, the new board does not include an NMEA 2000 (CAN bus) interface. Instead, additional add-on boards such as the Waveshare Isolated CAN HAT or the Waveshare 2-CH RS485 HAT can be used to add NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 interfaces, respectively, to the Raspberry Pi. This configuration still allows powering a Raspberry Pi over the NMEA 2000 network, if desired.
SH-RPi v2 PCB design in KiCad. Fitting everything into a RPi HAT form factor was a challenge!
Intended Use Cases
With the SH-RPi v2, a Raspberry Pi (or any other similar embedded computer) can be used as a generic appliance device. The power can be switched on and off, and the device will automatically shut down in a controlled manner when the power is switched off. Users don't have to worry or even know about having to manually shut down the device, as it will be done automatically.
In addition to the original marine embedded computer use cases, the new device revision also excels in automotive applications, 3D printer control, digital signage, home automation, and many other applications where reliable and robust power supply and shutdown capabilities are required.
Features and Design Goals
Continuous input voltage range of 9-32 V allows for powering the device from a wide range of power sources, including automotive and marine 12 V and 24 V nominal systems, as well as regular 12 and 24 V power supplies.
Input current can be limited to 0.8 A, 2.0 A or 3.0 A. Without current limiting, the initial supercapacitor charging current could be large enough to overpower many power supplies or require impractically large fuse ratings and/or wire sizes. An 0.8 A current limit is suitable for most applications with regular 12V power supplies, and also allows for powering a Raspberry Pi via an NMEA 2000 interface. Higher current limit settings can be used for faster supercap charging at cold startups, and in automotive and marine applications when dedicated power wiring is available, or when exceptionally large steady output current is required.
SH-RPi voltage output is 5 V, with a current capability of up to 5 A. Continuous current capability is dependent on the input current limiting setting. Even on the 0.8 A input setting, high momentary currents can be supplied by the supercapacitor.
Power output can be supplied via the Raspberry Pi GPIO header, or via a separate 2.54 mm pitch screw terminal block.
Three supercapacitors are used to provide uninterrupted power supply functionality for power glitches and voltage drops. They are able to provide last-gasp power for up to 30 s at 5 V and 1 A. This, together with the auxiliary service software, allows for safe shutdowns when the input power is cut off.
The power management logic is implemented in an Atmel ATtiny1616 microcontroller. The microcontroller is connected to the host computer using the I2C bus. It provides the host computer with input voltage and current measurements, as well as the supercapacitor voltage and other status information. The microcontroller also controls four LEDs that indicate the power supply status and charge state.
SH-RPi v2 includes an on-board real-time controller which can be used for accurate timekeeping while the Raspberry Pi is powered off. The RTC can also be used to start the Raspberry Pi at a specified time.
Additionally, there are two external input lines that can be used for external wake-up events or for attaching an external power button.
All of the above features are implemented in a compact HAT form factor, which allows for easy integration into existing Raspberry Pi based systems. Additional HATs can be stacked on top of the SH-RPi v2, for adding extra interfaces or other functionality.
Finally, even SH-RPi v2 has been designed to be used as a Raspberry Pi HAT, it is also possible to use it as a standalone board for non-Raspi use cases. In such use cases, output power is delivered using a screw terminal block. Communication with the host computer can be done using the I2C bus, or by simple digital signalling.
The initial board design was completed in October 2022, and the first 2.0.0-a1 prototype boards were received from the manufacturer in early November 2022. Other than some trivial connector footprint design snafus, the board could be brought alive without major issues. This allowed for adaptation of the existing SH-RPi v1 firmware to the new board, and for testing the basic functionality of the new board.
As things tend to go with analog electronics, the current limiting circuitry proved to be very difficult to get working reliably. Either the limiting functionality was too weak, or the first step-down switching regulator was unstable and would oscillate. Simulating switching regulator circuits is not trivial, and especially stability issues are difficult to predict. In practice, a lot of trial and error and manual iteration was required to find suitable component values. Given that the a1 design didn't have facilities for easy component swapping, the repetitive process of replacing 0402 size (1.0 mm x 0.5 mm) lost its appeal quickly, to say the least!
Each individual board lasts only so long before it is destroyed in the name of science.
Several weeks were spent in testing and debugging the current limiting circuitry, but persistence paid off, and the current limiting functionality is finally working reliably.
Initial EMI testing was also performed, and the results were very promising. A common-mode input filter was added to further reduce the EMI emissions. This necessitated the removal of the auxiliary 5 V output, which was not really needed anyway.
Additional test findings resulted in some minor design changes to the board, such as remapping of the ATtiny pins to allow for PWM output on all LED pins, and minor board layout changes, which resulted in an avalanche of trace rerouting.
A thermal image of the a1 proto. The hottest components on the top right are the second stage switching regulator and its switching diode. The diode was subsequently swapped to one with a lower forward voltage!
The next proto version, 2.0.0-a2, is currently being finalized. It will be manufactured with two different variants, one with the original RT6365 buco converter, and one with Texas Instruments' LMR14050 converter, which is again available in smaller quantities.
The a2 boards have unpopulated larger component footprints on the bottom side of the board. This allows for easier component swapping and final verification of the analog design. Otherwise, the a2 boards should be feature-complete and hopefully identical to the final production boards.
The a2 board orders will be placed before the end of December 2022. Once they arrived, typically within 14 days of the order, the boards will be tested again. Full EMI pre-compliance testing will be performed, and the board will be further tested both in the lab and with actual Raspberry Pi hardware.
Once the a2 boards are deemed to be working, the final production board design will be finalized.
A rendering of the v2.0.0-a2 proto.
This will hopefully consist of only removing the test footprints. Then, the final production board design will be sent to the manufacturer for a small-scale production run.
Several other tasks remain to be done before the SH-RPi v2 can be sold. The Raspberry Pi software installation script needs to be updated to support the new board features. The SH-RPi daemon should also be updated to support inter-process communication, so that the board can be controlled using external software.
For QA purposes it is essential to have a test jig, which can be used to automatically test the manufactured boards. The test jig needs to test the current limiting and power output functionality, communication with the host computer, RTC functionality, and all external interfaces.
In large-scale production, design and manufacturing of the test jig can be a significant challenge and may take a lot of time. For Hat Labs designs with somewhat smaller production runs, good results can be achieved with 3D printed test fixtures, pogo pins and testing electronics built with a Raspberry Pi or an SH-ESP32, and simple bread-boarded circuits.
Some additional tasks include updating the online documentation and the quick start guide as well as preparing the packaging.
My initial estimation was that the SH-RPi v2 would be ready for sale at the end of 2022. Obviously, this didn't happen, partially due to the longer-than-expected testing and debugging time, but probably mostly due to over-optimistic initial estimates.
If no major issues are found in the a2 boards, I hope to have the SH-RPi v2 ready for sale in the first quarter of 2023. But no matter what, they will be ready before the beginning of the sailing season on the northern hemisphere!

Victory in Lawsuit for Bicyclist Injured in "Right Cross" Crash
The Illinois Bicycle Lawyers at Keating Law Office won a strongly contested lawsuit for an injured Chicago bicycle commuter who was struck by a motorist on northbound Central Street near its intersection with Elston. The bike crash occurred when the bicyclist was traveling along with traffic on northbound Central Avenue near its intersection with Elston on the Northwest Side of Chicago.
As the bicyclist approached the intersection of Central and Elston he passed the defendant's Mercedes on the car's passenger side. This position put the bicyclist appropriately between the parked cars along the curb and the northbound lane of traffic. Illinois law requires bicyclists to ride "as near as is practicable" to the curb. However, as traffic moved forward along Central and the Mercedes approached the intersection with Elston, the defendant driver pulled to his right and hit the cyclist. This is known as a "right cross" collision.
As a result of the crash the bicyclist suffered a head injury and back injury. Upon obtaining the case, the Illinois Bicycle Lawyers at Keating Law Offices attempted to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company for the driver of the Mercedes. Our position was simple: this was a "right cross" collision that was 100% the fault of the motorist. But the insurance company did what insurance companies often do: they blamed the bicyclist and refused to compensate the bicyclist with a single penny.
Our response was strong and immediate. We filed a lawsuit on behalf of the bicyclist in the Circuit Court of Cook County. The bicyclist luckily escaped this collision with "relatively minor" injuries to his head and back. But these injuries required a period of recuperation, lost time from work, extensive medical treatment including physical therapy, and lost time from work. To the bicyclist the phrase "relatively minor" was mere semantics. He deserved justice.
Even after filing the lawsuit and taking the depositions (sworn statements under oath) of the Mercedes driver and his passenger, they stuck to their story that the car was traveling straight and the bicyclist caused the bicycle accident. The judge handling the case ordered the parties to participate in a Mandatory Arbitration. An arbitration is a form of "alternative dispute resolution," meaning that the parties present their cases to three arbitrators and those arbitrators issue a ruling. The ruling is non-binding, either party can continue to trial if they wish. But the goal is that by participating in a non-biased arbitration that the parties will be able to sort out the case prior to the trial.
The bicyclist in this case won the arbitration with a unanimous ruling by all three arbitrators. Our team won at arbitration by getting the defendant driver to agree on cross examination to a few separate points that when put together proved the motorist was undeniably at fault:
Agreed that immediately before the crash his lane became wider due to the end of the parking zone.
Agreed that it was always safest to travel in the center of his lane.
Agreed that he always steers to the center of his lane as soon as the lane gets wider.
Agreed he had a clear and unobstructed view of the right side of his vehicle immediately prior to the impact.
Contrary to the motorist and his insurance company's assertions, the motorist actually broke several laws in causing this collision:
Section 11-1003.1 of the Illinois Rules of the Road requires that drivers of vehicles exercise due care to avoid colliding with any person operating a bicycle.
Section 11-703 of the Illinois Rules of the Road which prohibit motorists from "buzzing" bicyclists as the motorists pass a bicycle and requires "3-Feet" between the motor vehicle and bicycle.
Chicago Municipal Code 9-16-020 also prohibits motorists from turning right in front of a bicyclist.
Once faced with a favorable arbitration ruling, the insurance company was put in a position where its only reasonable option was to settle the case. Attorney Michael S. Keating of Keating Law Offices said the following about the result in this case:
"I like to think that this case is a great example of our commitment to doing what we can for any bicyclist injured anywhere in Illinois at any time. Many firms, including others claiming to be "bike lawyers," probably would have not taken on this case because of the hard line set by the insurance company. But that isn't what we do at Keating Law Offices. What we do is put forth every effort we can to get results for our clients. At the end of the day it's all about the results you get for victims of bicycle crashes. Actions always speak louder than words."

6288 new cases dampen the Christmas spirit
With thousands in isolation after contracting COVID-19 and scores more unable to see loved ones thanks to cancelled flights and closed borders, the 'most wonderful time of the year' is looking grim in NSW.
Those still able to celebrate are unlikely to get a normal Christmas Day either, with 6288 new cases reported on Saturday as infections continuing skyrocketing.
That's a rise of 676 on the number reported the day before and a new record for NSW.
No new deaths were reported.
Testing numbers dropped significantly, with more than 149,000 people being swabbed, about 15,000 fewer than the day before.
The number of people in hospital with the virus nudged slightly higher, to 388, an increase of six.
But one fewer person is in intensive care, taking the total to 52.
Most of those hospitalised are unvaccinated, NSW Health says.
But the good news is that the state is now all but guaranteed to reach it's goal of 95 per cent vaccination coverage, with the share of people with at least one dose hitting that target on Saturday.
The spiralling outbreak is swamping contact tracers, overwhelming testing sites and affecting flight schedules as authorities reintroduce mask rules.
Dozens of Jetstar and Qantas domestic flights out of Sydney were cancelled on Christmas Eve as frontline staff deemed close contacts were forced to get tested and isolate as the virus spreads through the city.
The situation has also prompted the government to reintroduce some restrictions that were only wound back on December 15.
More than 30,000 people have been diagnosed with the virus in NSW in the days since.
Masks are again required in indoor settings, with hospitality venues to return to the one person per two-square metre rule and QR codes to be compulsory again from Monday.
While no restrictions will impact Christmas gatherings at homes on Saturday, those still able to celebrate are encouraged to take COVID-19 precautions where ever possible.
Revellers should undertake rapid antigen tests before gathering, should prioritise ventilation and should ask elderly visitors to sit outside on the verandah, NSW Health says.

Sierra Creative Sexual Harassment and Retaliation Lawsuit Settled
Sierra Creative Systems, Inc., doing business as Addressers, a Paramount, Calif.-based printing, mailing and fulfillment company, has agreed to pay $690,000 to settle a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.
The EEOC's lawsuit charged Sierra Creative with subjecting female employees to sexual harassment and retaliation at its North Hollywood facility. The alleged harassment included unwelcome touching, sexual comments and derogatory statements about women. The EEOC further asserted that Sierra Creative failed to adequately respond to complaints of discrimination made against one of its supervisors. In addition, the EEOC alleged that those who complained were denied hours and subjected to retaliatory harassment.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Sexual Harassment and Arbitration Clauses In the Office
Gretchen Carlson is both extraordinary—in her cultural visibility, in her multimillion-dollar career, in her personal accomplishments—and utterly ordinary. When she filed a lawsuit in July alleging sexual harassment during her tenure at Fox News, she became part of a disturbing statistic: at least 25% of American women say they have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, according to a 2016 report from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She also faced an obstacle that blocks an untold lot of them: an arbitration clause in her employment contract.
There is no reliable data on how many Americans have ceded their rights to a court hearing through arbitration clauses; one academic study estimates, using projections based on narrow data sets, that as many as a quarter of nonunionized American workers may be subject
N.J. pays out millions in sexual harassment cases
Soon after joining New Jersey's corrections officer academy, Gina Marie DiPasquale was taken aback by what she saw as blatant harassment of female trainees.
DiPasquale, an instructor at the Sea Girt academy, complained to her superiors about sexually offensive cadences used in training, verbal obscenities, inappropriate touching of female trainees by male instructors and other issues, according to court documents.
As a result, she was called a "psycho-b—" and "snitch" by co-workers. She was also subject to on-the-job retaliation, sex and gender discrimination, sexual harassment and a hostile work environment, according to court documents.
Fed up, she filed suit against the state in 2005 and resigned. Last year, she agreed to accept $415,000 from the state to settle the case. As part of the settlement,

The exhibition include an original video as well as a series of both black and white photographs and color photographs, the latter being created with photographic emulsion. Lisa Strömbeck focuses on how people find comfort in animals and trees.
For the exhibition, Consolation, at Galleri Image Lisa Strömbeck presented original video work entitled The Oldest Tree in the World. This piece depicts the oldest living tree in the world which is in possession of a 9550-year-old root system at Fulufjället in Dalarna.
In addition, she showed a unique selection of black and white photographs of trees produced through a liquid photographic emulsion technique on heavy paper. In the exhibition Strömbeck addresses how trees and pets provide a level of comfort and refuge in a society that is moving away from nature, and where people to a greater extent live alone.
Strömbeck also presented an extension of the photo series In bed (2016) that focused on the physical relationships between humans and other mammals. Strömbeck utilizes the latest research in neuroscience and anthropology, describing the neuro-chemical processes that strengthens the link between humans and animals. Research indicates that body contact between humans and animals lowers stress hormones levels and relieves both physical and mental pain.
Lisa Strömbeck is born in 1966 in Andrarum, Sweden, graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1999 and works primarily with photography and video. She lives and works in Denmark and Sweden. Her artistic practice is, among other things, focused on the soothing contact between humans and animals. Since 1999 she has exhibited her works in several galleries and museums in Europe and the United States. Strömbeck is represented in large public and private collections, including the Modern Museum and Uppsala Art Museum in Sweden, the Swanljung Collection in Finland, the Danish Art Foundation and the Danish Film Institute in Denmark.
Saturday March 2nd at 2 pm, Lisa Strömbeck will do an artist talk at Galleri Image.
This was an opportunity to experience Lisa Strömbeck gave an introduction to her art practice. During this talk, Strömbeck addressed the themes and works in the exhibition, as well as providing insights in to her darkroom-work practices with liquid photographic emulsion. Additionally, she discussed her response and experiences in engaging with the world's oldest tree at Fulufjället in Dalarna.
The exhibition was supported by Danish Arts Foundation.

Q: Windows 2003 R2 file permissions I have an existing Windows File server running Windows 2003 R2. I want to upgrade this to Windows 2008 R2. The server has a lot of other unnecessary software installed, so I thought the best way for me to just install from scratch.
Currently the OS sits on c:\
Files sit on D:\
What could I use to save or copy the file permissions on all folders on the D:\ so that once the new OS is installed on the c:\ drive I could replicate those permissions back?

A: There are several ways.  Using xcopy with the /I switch will copy ACL information.  Robocopy and the /SEC or /copy:DATS will include ACL information as well.  Of course, you could leave the disk in tact and the data & perms will be fine.
One big caveat!  If these ACLS are associated with local accounts (not AD accounts), the ACLs will be useless after a rebuild from scratch as the new accounts will have different SIDs.

A: As uSlackr already mentioned there is a big different depending on whether your server is a member (standalone) server or in a domain with permissions only set to domain accounts.
If you are in a domain, you don't have to do anything, because the DACLs on your files have ACE with Domain SIDs in them, they are still valid after you installed a new OS.
If you have a standalone server, it is more complicated. Even if you create users and groups with the same names, the ACEs will no longer work. Copying files including they DACL information will not help you because the DACL on the source files are broken.
If you only have a handful of different permissions at the top folder levels, it may be easiest to clear all permissions and set them new from scratch using a script which then also acts as a documentation for your permission policies.
If you have lots of different users/groups with many different permissions on different folder/files, you have to create a program or PowerShell script to replace the old ACEs with new ones. You would use a mapping table between the old SIDs and the new ones and then
replace all ACEs on all files/folders recursively. I can image there are already tools out there that do this, but I don't know of any of hand.

A: I agree with previous answer but would use robocopy instead with /MIR (stands for MIRROR).

Tell Your Brazilian Friends: No, Trump Wasn't Poisoned
A conspiracy theory about the president's unexpected visit to Walter Reed has taken off abroad.
ReporterBio
AJ Vicens
Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images
Trump's recent and unexpected trip to Walter Reed Hospital just outside of Washington, D.C. kicked off a new round of online misinformation that, despite not catching much traction in America, has gone viral in Brazil, ending up on the Twitter feed of Eduardo Bolsonaro, a son of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
A high-profile government official making an unexplained, surprise trip to a hospital is the exact kind of health scare that conspiracy theorists feed on. When in 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared unsteady on her feet while on the campaign trail some two months before Election Day, it immediately became the subject of ludicrous speculation and misinformation among right-winger hoaxers about her health.
The episode underscores how political hoaxes too outlandish to land in America can be exported.
Trump's trip to Walter Reed also set off conspiracies, but not about his health ailing: Instead, right-wing conspiracy theorists declare Trump's health was fine, but baselessly claimed that a food taster who makes sure his meals aren't tampered with had been poisoned. According to them, the real reason Trump went to the hospital was to make sure he had not also eaten any of the poisoned food.
Infowars published the first story making the claim on Monday, citing an "inside source." Despite having disparaged the use of unnamed sources in the past, far-right troll and former Infowars editor-at-large Paul Joseph Watson tweeted the story shortly after it was published, where it garnered almost three thousand likes and one and a half thousand retweets.
"Um, I am speechless with this," White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham wrote in an email to Mother Jones seeking comment on the theory. "No—this is not true. I put out two statements Saturday, Dr. Conley released a memo yesterday, and the President himself addressed this today."
Despite the White House's disavowal, hyperpartisan, right-wing click farm sites began posting their own versions of Infowars' story, often citing the original. While some were moderately shared around social media, the story took finally gained real momentum on Monday when the Brazilian far-right picked up on it. Several prominent Brazilian Twitter accounts reposted the Infowars story including a pro-Bolsonaro blogger, Eduardo Küster, whose tweet about the hoax garnered almost 17 thousand likes and over four thousand retweets, making it the most popular tweet about the story according to analytics from the CrowdTangle app.
Küster's tweet appears to be how Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of Brazil's far-right president, noticed the hoax. At some point on Tuesday morning, Bolsonaro retweeted Küster's tweet about the poisoning hoax to his 1.8 million followers, ensuring that it entered the mainstream in Brazil.
Brazilian right-wing politician Bia Kicis also blasted the story to her nearly half a million Facebook followers on Tuesday, garnering over 1,000 likes and hundreds of shares. Several other pro-Bolsonaro pages also shared the story to their collective hundreds of thousands of followers. Kicis shared an image spreading the hoax on Instagram to her over 200 thousand followers. At least one other right-wing Brazilian meme account that has over 77 thousand followers also shared the image. A few smaller Portuguese language outlets in Brazil also ran with Infowars' reporting, reposting versions of the story.
Google searches for Trump poisoning ("Trump envenenamento" in Portuguese) spiked to all-time highs in Brazil, according to Google Trends. Searches for the term peaked within several hours of Küster's tweet.
The episode underscores how when political hoaxes are even too outlandish to land in America, they can be exported to other countries that are less familiar with American politics or media. Fabio Zanini, editor at large at Folha de Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest newspaper, said that Infowars being an American site may have helped it become a vector to spread misinformation in the country.
While major American media outlets have credibility in Brazil, the vast majority of people likely have no idea what Infowars is, Zanini explained. "Brazilians tend to have an admiration for the United States, they may think 'Oh, if it's on an American website it must be good.'"
This isn't the first time Paul Joseph Watson has likely been a node connecting the American far-right and the Brazilian far-right. In June, Watson tweeted out an out of context clip about the Hasan Piker, a journalist and commentator for the Young Turks which falsely made him seem like a misogynist. It was eventually tweeted by Bolsonaro's son.
Zanini said that Brazil's far-right has been trying to make inroads with and model itself after the American right. Eduardo Bolsonaro, for example, has cultivated a relationship with Steve Bannon. Bolsonaro, Küster, and others also regularly peddle misinformation as a political tactic. If they're ever called out on it, Zanini said, they give a light apology, or like the American far-right, claim it was a joke and keep moving.
"They use misinformation and fake news quite often and they just don't care about it," Zanini said.

Teenage apprentice loses finger while on work experience
A landscaping company has admitted to failing to properly train and supervise work on a dangerous machine after a teenage boy on work experience had a finger amputated while working unsupervised on a log splitter.
Ed Rogers Landscape Construction and Maintenance Ltd of Jericho Street, Thorverton, pleaded guilty at Exeter Magistrates Court to the offence under Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, has been fined £6,000, and ordered to pay costs of £1,017.
The company had employed the 16 year old for just three weeks when the incident happened. The apprentice was shown how to operate a log splitter by the company owner, Edward Rogers, and then left to work alone on site.
While the teenager was operating the log splitter unsupervised he held a log in place and started the machine. The hydraulic blade of the log splitter came down onto the log and severed his finger.
The incident was investigated by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) which found that while the boy was working alone on site at the time of the incident, there was no first aid given. The teenager was later taken to hospital but his injuries were too severe to save his finger.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE Inspector Simon Jones, said:
"Work experience for young people is incredibly valuable and is to be encouraged but companies taking on apprentices must take into account the young person's inexperience. As a result they should be fully supervised when operating dangerous machinery.
"The boy being isolated made the situation worse when there was no one on site to help him after suffering this appalling, life changing injury."

Washington DC's Ward 3's Push for Millennials
This year's midterm elections are not only important on the national level but on the local levels as well. Ward Three, known for its beautiful landscaping and palatial homes, has found itself in the conflicting race for new ANC leaders with varying agendas. In 2014, only 20% of millennials voted. As a result, there has been a major push for a greater involvement of Millennials and college students in not only ward3 but the nation. Three millennials share their experience from Election Day and tell HU News Service reporter Tia Humphries why they think it is important to vote.

1.	Insert a wooden skewer into the lobster tails to prevent them from curling.
2.	Fill a large saucepan with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt for each gallon of water.
3.	Once the water has reached a fierce boil, drop the tails in and cook for 4 minutes.
4.	Drain the tails and position them on their backs once they have cooled slightly.
5.	Using a sharp knife, split the soft top shell of the tail lengthways down the middle, but leave the hard shell underneath intact.
6.	Pour some melted butter and lemon juice over the meat of the tails or brush a marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, salt pepper, garlic powder and paprika over the meat and place shell side down onto a pre-heated grill.
7.	Grill for approximately 7 - 8 minutes with a medium-hot heat, or until the meat is opaque, no longer transparent and firm to the touch.
8.	The tails may be turned over halfway through cooking if desired.
9.	Remove from the grill and serve hot with lemon and melted butter.


This is increased pressure in the eye causing optic nerve damage. The "cup" of the optic disc is the central region where there are no nerves, hence when damage occurs ("cupping") the cup enlarges, which is seen on ophthalmic inspection as a thin neuroretinal rim.
This is the commonest type. It arises due to reduced outflow of aqueous humour through the Canal of Schlemm. Risk factors include: age, family history, myopia, and being black. The condition manifests as gradual painless loss of the peripheral visual field (an arcuate scotoma), whilst the central vision remains intact.
Drugs: topical beta blockers, topical prostaglandin analogues (latanoprost), carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (acetazolamide).
This is an emergency. a sudden increase in pressure arises when reduced drainage of fluid occurs, due to an ageing lens pushing the iris forward against the trabecular meshwork. The clinical features are: a sudden "aching" painful red eye, nausea, vomiting, headache, and severe ocular pain. Patients might see "halos" with a rainbow pattern around lights. The pupil is fixed and dilated. Risk factors include age, hypermetropia, women. Unlike closed angle glaucoma the condition is not familial.
Prompt treatment to preserve sight: acetazolamide and pilocarpine (which constricts the eye, improving drainage).
Definitive surgical treatment, which involves making a hole in the periphery of the iris of both eyes.
This is a systemic vasculitis. Because of its potential to cause irreversible blindness, it is an ophthalmological emergency.
The disease is an inflammatory granulomatous arteritis of large arteries associated with polymyalgia rheumatica. The visual loss occurs due o arterial inflammation and occlusion. Clinical features include a severe headache, tenderness of the scalp, claudication of the jaw which is worse on eating, and "coming and going" vision. Symptoms of the associated polymyalgia rheumatica include sudden onset pain and stiffness of the the shoulders/neck, and hips/lumbar spine.
This causes loss of visual acuity.
Drusen are seen on ophthalmoscopy. These are variably sized white or yellow spots scattered throughout the macula.
This has the worst prognosis. Neovascularisation and leakage of serous fluid or blood occurs. Retinal detachment is a complication.
This is sudden unilateral painless loss of vision that often occurs on waking. The retinal veins are engorged, flame shaped retinal haemorrhages and cotton wool spots are seen. The optic disc is swollen. Risk factors include diabetes, hypertension and glaucoma.

Why Black Lives Matter
By: Rebecca Jamieson, Substitute Staff
The woman standing across the cash register from me was starting to cry. As I had begun to ring up her groceries a moment earlier, our conversation had started in the usual way: "Hello, how are you?" But instead of responding to that question with the routine "Fine, thanks," we had each told the truth: our hearts were hurting. This was the week that two more unarmed Black men, Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, had been killed by police. This was not a week for "fine, thanks." What had happened was not fine, and neither were we. In our brief conversation, the woman shared that she was terrified her two young sons would be in danger their whole lives, simply because they were Black. As tears filled both of our eyes, all I could do was ask her if she wanted a hug. She said yes.
Hugs are a good start, but they aren't enough. The magnitude of the racism our country is grappling with is apparent to anyone who reads the news. Racially influenced, state-condoned shootings of innocent people continue, with no justice for the victims or their families. Unfortunately, these larger systems of oppression are the repercussions of the often-unconscious racial conditioning that we all receive as people living in the U.S., with its long history of genocide, slavery, and oppression. As a White person, I've come to realize over and over again that if I want real change, I have to work not just to heal racism on an institutionalized level, but on a very personal level as well. And that personal healing and unlearning of racial conditioning is a lifelong process.
Something I deeply value about working at People's Co-op is our commitment to anti-oppression work and social justice. Two of our Ends statements directly address this, striving to be: "a safe, welcoming community where all are valued," and "a passionate community working together for human rights and social justice." People's has been working to address issues of oppression in many different areas for a long time. In the last few years, we've been working even harder to address the systemic forms of oppression that affect our community, our store, our staff, and shoppers, whether they show up in obvious or more subtle ways. We've brought in speakers, held anti-oppression trainings for staff, and formed ongoing "caucus" groups that serve to educate staff around issues such as White and male privilege. Caucus groups also exist to support staff who deal with oppression on a daily basis, including groups for those who are women-identified and people of color.
The reason People's has been working harder to address oppression is that we've seen how our own oppressive conditioning, if left unaddressed, creates an environment that is not "a place for all people" - another thing we strive for. Our increased effort to address how privilege and oppression affects us was largely spearheaded by People's staff who face the most oppression, even though it is not their responsibility to educate those of us who have more privilege, or are less aware. Just like me, People's still has room to grow in learning how to address these painful patterns. But this work can't be done alone. We need each other - for learning, for healing, for support, for inspiration, for change.
In the spirit of learning from and supporting each other, and taking meaningful action in alignment with our Ends, People's will be holding several events and actions coming up soon:
During the month of August, we'll be holding a donation drive at the registers to support the Portland chapter of Black Lives Matter. Just tell your cashier you'd like to make a donation, or round up your purchase. More information about Black Lives Matter can be found here. This article is a good place to start if you are wondering why saying "All Lives Matter" is so upsetting to many who are working for racial justice.
People's will host letter writing sessions in support of Campaign Zero to end police violence. The sessions will take place on Friday August 12th 5:30pm-7:30pm, and Sunday August 21st 3:30pm-5:30pm in our community room. Snacks will be served. Everyone is welcome.
People's will be partnering with the Portland Underground Graduate School to offer a class in our Community Room called: Elegizing Black Lives. This class will explore how African American poets elegized victims of lynching and state violence, as well as celebrating acts of resistance. The class will run on Wednesdays August 10-31, from 6-8pm in the People's Community Room. Space is limited. Read more and register here.
Starting in October, People's will offer an ongoing yoga class for people of color. Details to come.
Also in October, People's will start a White privilege discussion group. Details to come.
Black Lives Matter buttons are available for all shoppers at the registers!

Is God Just an Emotional Experience?
Today I wanted to start off by saying thanks. Thanks for being a part of what the Lord is doing through #ShareJesus. It's incredible that we have over 500,000 views of our #ShareJesus videos to date. The point of this project though isn't about view counts of the videos; it's about real people encountering God in new ways. You guys are doing a great job of sharing Jesus. I love hearing your awesome stories and feedback about the #ShareJesus videos, whether it how its how you are using them (like showing them in classrooms,) how they've personally inspired you, or how your friends and family are using the videos to encounter Jesus.
But perhaps, you haven't really jumped into #ShareJesus just yet. It's not too late to get started. Remember the goal of #ShareJesus isn't to just watch a video, but to find opportunities to evangelize. Commit to sharing Jesus this Lent.
I have talked to people who have said to me, "I am loving the videos, but I don't do social media." That's really okay. The point of #ShareJesus isn't to convince people that they need to get a Twitter or Facebook account. You don't need a social media account to evangelize your family, friends, and neighbors. If you don't have social media, I want to encourage you to use our taking it offline suggestions. You've got plenty of opportunities to #ShareJesus that don't involve social media.
In today's #ShareJesus, Sarah Swafford talks about discovering a love that's greater and richer than anything you've ever felt. What do you when the God high is gone?
Evangelize today by being social with the Gospel. #ShareJesus today on Social Media. Aim for at least two posts today: One with the video, one without always using #ShareJesus.
Let the Holy Spirit guide you in sharing Jesus.
The Good News is really good. God loves you perfectly and completely. It's a love worth sharing.
How do you believe in God in difficult times? What sustains you?
Don't forget on Facebook, please share the video from our Facebook page. This way you'll get a lot more views than if you share a Youtube link on Facebook.
From Twitter please use the Youtube link http://youtu.be/X6mc_iiA6-s with your posts and don't forget to RT our tweets.
Take some time to pray about what it means that God loves you.
Reach out to someone you know who is going through a difficult time.
Write down your story about how you have encountered Jesus. Pray for an opportunity to share it with someone this week. Look for an opportunity to do this.
God has done great things. He is doing big things. Continue to be a part of it. #ShareJesus today.
Invite someone new to join #ShareJesus today!
The question of "who is Jesus" is a question we all must answer. It's not just something we answer with words, but by the way we live our lives. Why would we #ShareJesus if he was just a nice guy or a great philosopher? We share Jesus because he is the Son of God.
In the Gospel on Sunday, we hear the voice of the Father affirm Jesus, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him." If he truly is God what does that really mean? Why does He have a mother, why does He weep, and why does He die?
Who in your life needs to know Jesus this Lent? How are you purposefully sharing Him with those people? #ShareJesus is not just about inspiring your Lent, but about sharing Jesus with other people. Be deliberate. Be bold. #ShareJesus!
The Holy Spirit has your back. Ask Him for help and guidance.
The Good News is the best news you can share with a person today.
What's one way you've seen God's presence in your life this week?
From Twitter please use the Youtube link http://youtu.be/1TiK-8fi1Ks with your posts and don't forget to RT our tweets.
Ask God for a divine appointment with someone you can talk to about him.
Surrender to God today in prayer. Give him the things you are still holding on to.
Connect with a family member you haven't talked to recently and share about #ShareJesus with them.
Watch a #ShareJesus video with someone.
If you are in school, have a conversation with a teacher about your relationship with God or ask them if you could pray for them today.
Do you want a rich prayer life?
If you are anything like me, it can just be finding the time to pray that's tough. When you've got little children, your time and your day just never seem to go as you plan. Perhaps the things that distract you from prayer aren't kids. Distractions come in all shapes and sizes; they come before prayer calling us away from the time we desire to set aside. They also come during prayer, taking away our attention and focus.
The Lord is patient. He is waiting for you today. He doesn't just want to give you stuff. He wants to share his heart with you.
In today's #ShareJesus, Michael Gormley shares about prayer and gives you 3 tangible ways you can grow in prayer this Lent. Don't just listen to today's message. Take it to heart and spend some time in prayer. Then share it on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or email it to a friend who needs to hear it.
#ShareJesus daily goal: two posts: one with the video and one without. Don't forget to use the #ShareJesus with each post.
The easiest way to start evangelizing and sharing your faith is to take the jump. Share from your heart and don't be ashamed of the good news in your life.
People are hurting. They need Jesus. Will you share with those you love today?
What's your biggest challenge in prayer?
How do you overcome distractions in prayer?
Share some of your prayer requests today.
From Twitter please use the Youtube link http://youtu.be/baQTRG231W0 with your posts and don't forget to RT our tweets.
Share a prayer request with 3 people today.
Take some extra prayer time today.
Spend some time listening in prayer today.
If you are married, make it a point to give your spouse a few extra minutes to pray today by watching the kids or taking a chore off your spouses plate.
"Prayer can truly change your life. For it turns your attention away from yourself and directs your mind and your heart toward the Lord." Saint John Paul II. Let your life be changed today. #ShareJesus!


Last week was crammed full of last minute e-mail carpet bombing to industry bods for the London run of Zeus' Pamphlet. We holed ourselves up in our usual haunt The Hen & Chickens Theatre in Islington for three nights to show off our finely tuned sketch show to the London folk.
Show went off without any major hiccups and we got some great feedback, with one audience member coming straight up to me after the show saying how much his face hurt from laughing! We showed the audience our trailer at the end of the show for our pilot which we have recently submitted to Channel 4's comedy lab. You can view it HERE.
Been doing voice-over's for Cadbury last week. Again, top secret but I got to be a chocolate cowboy for the afternoon – much fun!
I got some new photos done for the ol' McCusker branding. My pal James Royall did them. He's a top editorial and film stills photographer who I met on the Samsung Galaxy shoot… really nice bloke too.
