Why nit-pick every Scripture and command of God? I will obey God to the best of my ability, you do as you like.
This is a simple answer. Because Jesus taught us to. I will obey God to the best of my ability, you can do as you like.
I'm sure God does not want any of His children to be nit-picking, fussy, pendantic, fault-finders over tiny or unimportant details.There's nothing wrong with focusing on the details, but someone who is pedantic makes a big display, as you and Hill-Top often do, of knowing obscure facts and details.
I fully agree. In my opinion, things that are unimportant are not a good use of time.
Politics and Christians -- I believe this one of the many "disputable" points with the Christian faith. Neither side of this discussion can point to a clearly stated scripture that tells believers not to vote. I'm not even sure "voting" was a thing when the Bible was written. Yes, each side can make implications, they can read into scripture something, but the implied is always to be interpreted in light of the explicit. There are examples throughout scripture of people that support heathen rulers. Paul even tells us that all authority is given by God and we are to respect and honor that authority. (that doesn't mean that all authority is used in a godly way.) Yes, there is scripture that teaches us to "be ye separate" and to come out from among them. Then other scriptures tell us to work for the welfare of our community wherever we are.
For this, I will heed the scriptures found in Romans 14... and allow each to their own course of action. Neither is sinful in and of itself.
Here's a pedantic, obscure fact for you...We CAN love God above all else and our neighbors as ourselves.
It isn't impossible, though many teach otherwise.
Good thoughts to follow. There is always so much in God's word that can be attained if one peruses it carefully. Voting is like paying taxes. The scripture indirectly has much to say about these things. Often you hear people say Christians are commanded to pay taxes, but that is incorrect.
The saints of the kingdom are exempt as Jesus stated, however what He did say in a nutshell was as to not offend pay them... This is important, of course everything He said is important. What would the offense of not paying taxes bring about during that time that He made the statement?
I would not have wanted to be there during those days (I think living was tougher than we have it now), but can you imagine having recordings of the conversations that went on during those times when Jesus dealt with all these things?
How do you all respond to this statement?
Any one that votes or supports the Democratic party is an enemy of God.
Nothing will convince me otherwise.
The Democratic party is anti-Christ.
And, sadly, the Republicans aren't much better, if they are better at all.
In my opinion based on some facts from knowing some folks heavily involved in government and politics, reps, dems, and most of government is a cesspool. There are things that are done that we are never made aware of. Some things boil to the surface and some stay buried.
In days of old before the Internet became a way of getting quick info, there was much veiled darkness in government. I think the level of integrity and honesty is close to nil and only exist with a small select few that really desire to make a difference.
We like to hold out hope, but the writing is on the wall for man's government. We really should not be surprised at anything that happens.
Power corrupts. One of the reformers wrote that while Peter was poor, the Pope lavished in riches. While Peter was not worthy to wash the feet of Jesus, the Pope wanted people to bow and kiss his. You can say what you will about the RC church, but for years it was not this way, but power corrupts.
It looks like the Social Democrats just tried to kill off your President and put the Speaker in his place.
I cannot understand why people are so stupid.
I think this is part of the answer!
1 John 4:1 1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

One of our favourite records of the year so far. We first heard this when George 'Reference Point' played it at Spiritland. A superb album from New York percussionists Sameer Gupta and friends, 'A Circle Has No Beginning' fuses Jazz with Indian classical music and goes on a deep journey.


Location Labs, formerly WaveMarket, announced some exciting changes last week. You may remember WaveMarket as our Mobile Incubation Week winner in Washington, D.C. last fall. Their new Universal Location Service allows developers to locate 180+ million phones across tier-one carriers. ULS promises to simplify the effort involved for developers to build across multiple operating systems and devices and gives an instant entry point into the feature phone space.
By tapping into the carrier networks, Location Labs offers a single remote API with no download required. Location Labs is also launching a geo-fencing API that can trigger a notification if a friend is in the area. The company plans to leverage its platform, already running AT&T's Family Finder and Sprint's Family Locator, to bring the same low-cost location service to developers. Social apps might allow people to check in via SMS or mobile browsers, increasing the footprint beyond smartphones.

Practicality of using R Lenses on CL?
I have 35mm, 60mm Macro & 90mm Elmarit-R's plus the 21-35mm Vario Elmar for use with my R5 and occasionally via the R Adaptor M on my M240. In considering the purchase of a CL, I wonder how practical in terms of focus, balance and handling using such lenses on the CL would be? The change in focal length in that they would become 52mm, 90mm, 135mm and 32-52mm respectively is also a factor. Obviously I would have to stack the R Adaptor M onto a M Adaptor T/L, adding weight and length to the assembly. Anyone with relevant experience?

Russells paradoks er udviklet af filosoffen Bertrand Russell som kritik af Gottlob Freges bog, Grundlagen der Arithmetik. Paradokset er altså ligeledes opkaldt efter sin ophavsmand. Formelt lyder paradokset:
Mængden R indeholder alle mængder som ikke indeholder sig selv. Indeholder R sig selv?

I en populær version nævnes en barber i en by som kun barberer alle dem der ikke barberer sig selv. "Hvem barberer da barberen?". Barberer barberen sig selv, barberer barberen jo en der barberer sig selv, og bliver barberen barberet af en anden, barberer barberen ikke alle der ikke barberer sig selv; barberen ville jo mangle at barbere sig selv. Derfor er eksemplet et paradoks. Hver person skal forstås som en mængde der indeholder alle personer ("mængder") som personen ikke barberer. Barberens mængde indeholder alle de mængder ("personer") der ikke indeholder sig selv (ikke barberer sig selv): ergo er dette ækvivalent med Russels paradoks.

Paradokset
Betegnelsen "klasse" er et vigtigt ord, som man både bruger i matematikken, logikken, samt i hverdagssprog, og det er dette ord der ender med at volde logiske problemer i dette paradoks. Man kan betegne en klasse ved f.eks. klassen af antikkens filosoffer, klassen af anarkistiske samfund, eller klassen af pattedyr – altså er en klasse altid en klasse af noget, og dette noget angiver de egenskaber som medlemmerne af den pågældende klasse nødvendigvis må have for at kunne tilhøre denne klasse.

Spørgsmålet er så om en klasse kan være medlem af sig selv. Hvis man f.eks. siger klassen af alle pattedyr, så ville medlemmerne af denne pågældende klasse være nødt til at besidde egenskaben "pattedyr" for at kunne være medlem af denne klasse, og her ville det virke uberettiget at sige at klassen af pattedyr selv skulle være et pattedyr. Derfor ville det være ulogisk hvis klassen af pattedyr skulle tilhøre sig selv. Anderledes står det derimod til med klassen af abstrakte begreber, da klassen selv i dette tilfælde lader til at besidde de egenskaber (nemlig egenskaben af abstrakt begreb) som man må have for at tilhøre denne klasse. Er denne klasse da medlem af sig selv? Man kunne her indvende at man må skelne mellem klasser der er medlem af sig selv, og klasser der ikke er medlem af sig selv. Men så må man også tale om klassen af klasser der ikke er medlem af sig selv – og er denne klasse nu medlem af sig selv? Problemet opstår her netop i at man ender i en modsigelse uanset om man svarer ja eller nej.

Hævder man at klassen af alle klasser der ikke er medlemmer af sig selv, er medlem af sig selv, siger man både at den er medlem af sig selv og at den ikke er medlem af sig selv, da betingelsen for at være medlem af klassen af alle klasser der ikke er medlemmer af sig selv, jo netop er at være en klasse der ikke er medlem af sig selv. Og siger man at klassen af alle klasser der ikke er medlem af sig selv, ikke er medlem af sig selv, siger man også på samme ti, at den er medlem af sig selv, da alle klasser, der ikke er medlem af sig selv har de egenskaber der gør at de nødvendigvis må være medlemmer af alle de klasser, der ikke er medlemmer af sig selv.

Løsning
Russell forslog også en løsning på paradokset. Løsning bestod i at man kan dele alle mængder i typer. Type-0 er den type af mængder der kun indeholder tal. En mængde af type-1 indholder kun type-0 mængder og tal. En mængde af type-2 indholder type-1 mængder og tal. Og så vidre. Type-uendelig (f.eks. mængden fra Russels paradoks) er altså en mængde som er umulig at arbejde med (ligesom det at dividere med 0).

Man fandt dog hurtigt ud af at denne løsning er tung at arbejde med, og derfor foreslog man Zermelo-Fraenkel-systemets 6. aksiom som løsning. Denne løsning er meget nemmere at arbejde med.

Gosh, posts get boring when work gets busy! I drove for 30 minutes to a meeting to give a 10 minute speech, but of course things were running behind so I sat around for 45 minutes waiting to speak. Almost two hours wasted. Oy vey. I did skip the pastries they had out for the 20 minute break that I had to sit through. It's so annoying to waste time! I have to admit, skipping food at events like this isn't so hard. I feel like if I were to give in it would just support a stereotype of overweight people.
So, onto the foods. A Mango Mix1. These have to be the best flavor.
I don't know what happened, but the super charge me cookies taste better than they did when I first made them. I love the combo of chocolate and dried fruit!
The watermelon is just meh. Can't wait to try the next melon!
These chicken breasts were perfectly cooked and a tasty way to get my protein in at lunch!
I also had an Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin, but I forgot to take a picture. It was a tasty addition to my meal though!
Dinner was hubby's specialty pasta. As always the mix includes Parmesan, oregano, and olive oil.
The house is a wreck because hubby is leaving tomorrow for a week and a half and two races. To make things more interesting, he has to have different bikes for each race, so our living room looks like a war zone!
Do you eat at conferences or meetings? Or do you usually pass on the pastry options?

A 2016 report by the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) compounded the realization that African-American MBAs are severely underrepresented at business schools across the US.
Of all US-origin GMAT examinees in that year, only 8% were African-American. The knock-on effect of that is that industry suffers further down the pipeline—a trickle of African-American MBA graduates account for just 3% of executive and senior-level positions within private industry.
However, in response to this issue, a number of organizations, institutions, and individuals have committed to working against this widely-recognized uniformity in business schools, and the marketplace that absorbs the MBAs they produce.
What is the criteria for this list? What metrics are being used to rank this? Or is this more story based?
We've picked out these 5 US business schools that are making a real impact in boosting numbers of African-American students. This one's more story-based than metric-based. And that's not to say there aren't other schools out there doing great work too.
If you know any we've missed, please leave a comment in the box below.

CU men's basketball: Buffs add Wofford to…
CU men's basketball: Buffs add Wofford to 2016-17 schedule
Ray Thompson / Associated Press
Guard Eric Garica and Wofford have been added to the 2016-17 home schedule for the Tad Boyle's Buffs.
The 2016-17 nonconference schedule for the Colorado men's basketball team is starting to round into shape.
This week CU finalized plans to bring Wofford to the Coors Events Center, adding to a ledger of teams that already appears as if it will be improved over the Buffs' solid-but-not-spectacular 2015-16 nonconference slate.
Wofford, based in Spartansburg, S.C., went 15-17 last season but has built a solid mid-major reputation under veteran coach Mike Young. In 2015, the Terriers set a school record by going 28-7 while winning the Southern Conference regular season and tournament championships. Wofford's NCAA Tournament berth that year was its fourth in sixth seasons.
The Terriers graduate three of their top five scorers from 2015-16 but are set to welcome back Fletcher Magee, considered one of the top mid-major freshmen in the nation this past season, and 10 points-per-game scorer Eric Garcia, a Colorado native who graduated from Grandview High School as the program's all-time leader in points and assists.
The addition of Wofford bolsters a nonconference home slate that already includes national power Xavier, a team that spent the bulk of the 2015-16 season ranked in the top 10. CU also will host state rival Colorado State in addition to two teams among a group that includes Louisiana-Monroe, Bryant, Seattle, and Eastern Washington — most likely the latter two — as part of the Legends Classic.
While dates have yet to be finalized overall, the Buffs will complete the Legends Classic in Brooklyn on Nov. 21 and 22 with contests against two programs from a pool that includes Northwestern, Texas, and Notre Dame.
CU also will have additional road games against Portland and BYU as return dates from home-and-home sets from this past season, plus a trip to Air Force. The Buffs also are likely to add another regional Division II program to their home slate.

Berkeley is in the north of California and lies east of San Francisco Bay. To the south you will find Emeryville and Oakland and to the north are Albany and the Kensington community. Located in Alameda County, Berkeley are the homes of the infamous University of California, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and Graduate Theological Union. This city is known as being politically liberal. It's the third most liberal town in America.
When the first Europeans arrived in Berkeley, it was inhabited by the Ohlone Tribe. Today, you can still see remnants of the tribe's existence, such as pits in rock forms, which were used as tools for grinding acorns. A shellmound can also be found along the San Francisco Bay Shoreline; most of it is covered up today. In the '50s and '60s, the city witnessed moderate growth. Activism began to take place in the '60s on the U.C. campus -- in the 50s, the professors were demanded to take a loyalty oath. Some of them decided to resign instead of signing the oaths.

Q: Can Amazon Elastic Transcoder convert a sequence of images into a video? I have sequence of images that must be converted to video:

image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg, etc...

Can it be done using AWS Elastic Transcoder ?
If not, what would be your preferred AWS tool for this kind of job ?

A: No. Amazon Elastic Transcoder converts (transcodes) media files from their source format to versions that will playback on devices like smartphonese, tablets and PCs.
Amazon Elastic Transcoder
I am not aware of another Amazon tool that will meet your objectives. You will need to look into a third party product for this. Most home movie video software will take images and convert them into a video slideshow.

Family fun vacations are a good chance that you should bond together with your children along with other family people. Lots of people have very fond recollections of the childhood which often focus on enjoyable family vacations. In the current economy it's not easy to pay for the price with flying a household to a lot of destinations but you will find affordable alternatives which are just like fun as traveling far far from home.
Theme parks can be quite fun family trip spots. Most states have a theme park that's for the most part a couple of hrs from where you reside with the family. You need to investigate the theme parks you want to go to before deciding to go to them. You need to make certain you realize check in prices, policies, and restaurants and hotels which are in you are wanting to help make your family trip a weekend or long time vacation.
Family fun vacations may also be fun when you attend the shore or perhaps a lake. Visiting the beach or even the lake is an extremely fun vacation idea for families. Children enjoy playing within the sand, build sandcastles, and go within the water and play. Deciding to visit the shore or even the lake is an extremely cost-effective vacation choice. It is because normally the primary expenses are gasoline, supplies, and quarters for that parking meter.
The planetarium is a superb vacation place. Adults and children can learn simultaneously. The planetarium is fun because adults and children can bond over their curiosity relating to the stars, heaven, the moon etc. It may be great to provide your loved ones an academic vacation.
The zoo is definitely an educational and fun vacation place for families. Zoos are ideal for children, especially youthful children nobody love creatures. There's an admission cost to get involved with zoos but it's often a reasonable admission cost. Zoos permit you to show your kids close up and private creatures they only find out about in magazines or perhaps in videos. It's really a thrilling vacation place for kids and families alike.
Anywhere you go on holiday with the family just be sure you enjoy and relax yourself. Don't concentrate on spending lots of money in your family trip. Recollections can't be bought and also the simplest family vacations will be the most enjoyable. So many people stress themselves out over family vacations. It truly does not matter in which you use a family trip, it just matters what you are with when you are on holiday. You must have an optimistic attitude and then try to make families activity exciting and fun for your kids along with other family people. Hopefully, these pointers on family fun vacations can help you decide where you can bring your family in your next vacation.

Things to Be Careful of Before you sign up for a team - Welcome to Lethbridge Cheer Association - Home of Cheer Sensation!
Are You 100 percent Sure you are joining the right team? Make sure before you sign up for the whole year!
There are many cheerleading teams in our Lethbridge community. All will offer different perks to attract athletes to commit to their team, but before you do, make sure you are joining the right one. Our advice at Extreme Cheer Sensation is to be sure you have done your research about all of Lethbridge's teams. Make sure you are committing to the one that is right for you! Each team, whether school or all star, will have different dates for try outs. Some will be earlier than others and you want to make sure that even if you do try out for more than one team, you do not sign a year long commitment to a team, before you are 100% sure it is the right place for you or your child to be! It is always better to explore your options than make an uneducated decision that you might regret. Cheerleading is a big commitment and at Extreme Cheer Sensation, we stress the importance of fulfilling all commitments to practices, but we want all of our Lethbridge cheerleaders to make sure they are committing to the team that is best for them! Do not sign a financial obligation until you know for sure!
- Are my coaches ACA & USASF, first aid and respect in sport certified ?
- Do they have experience coaching this sport? Training in this sport?
-Am I comfortable with the customer service and policy procedures?
-Do the events and travel plans for the upcoming year meet my expectations?
-Am I joining an organized and efficiently run team?
-Are the parent and athletes okay with the level of commitment required?
and potentially miss out on something better!
If you have any question please contact us...we'd be happy to answer!

One of the best ways to keep your family outta court is through mediation. It's a process where you and your spouse meet with a neutral third party. Sometimes you have attorneys that represent you and sometimes you don't. More often you do, and you and your spouse work through all of the kinds of issues that a judge would normally decide. So for instance, how to divide your property, how to handle parenting time with your kids, how to handle finances with regards to the support of your children. It also allows you to control the pace at which you are processing the information. It depends on what you and your spouse think is best in terms of making decisions for your family. The agreements that are made in mediation, if you sign off on them, they are binding. They are actually a contract that the court must enforce. The best part about a binding mediation is that even though there may not be a divorce decree that's in effect yet, you now know the rules in which you and your spouse are gonna follow post-divorce. So it allows you to know exactly what you're gonna do with your children and exactly how the money is gonna be divided, so that you can build your life post-divorce in the best way possible for you.

Here you will find information on how to ensure you are aware of and able to access statutory supports for living with autism.
Pre and Post diagnosis support and access to services – but only if you ask!
Consider self referring to Social Work under Section 12 Social Work Scotland Act (1968) – call in to local office or call to duty worker. This will allow you to get the ball rolling and find out what supports might be available e.g. early Nursery placement, Early Bird course or equivalent, discussion of child's needs.
Post diagnosis- Request full benefits check via Social Work or directly with Welfare Rights.
Carer's support plan is likely to supersede section 24 Assessment in 2017 with introduction of Carer's Bill (Scotland).
Sadly when pursuing statutory entitlements from local authorities many obstacles are usually encountered. It is often worth making contact with your local councillor(s) and or MSP for support early on in the process.
Family Fund, Take a Break.
Many families are put off because of a lack of Social Work reaching out to families in many authorities and because of perceived stigma around benefits.
Remember however as a parent your ability to work is likely to be curtailed and services like respite are often harder to get later on. (and your child may cope better in the long term with an early introduction). Caring for a disabled child is a task that is likely to get harder as life goes on. In Scotland alone Carer's save the public purse around £10 billion per year.
Make sure the time and place is suitable and comfortable for you.
Try not to go alone to reviews especially multi disciplinary reviews. Consider finding an advocate or knowledgeable and supportive friend. CAB, Mindroom.org, local independent advocacy project., I.B.A.
Ask for an agenda before hand and contribute to it in period leading up to . the review. Always ask what care speak and acronyms mean.
Go with a plan or idea of what you want to achieve. (be realistic but not afraid to state your case).
Ask for a little more than the basic you can survive on. e.g. Respite – ask for 25 nights when 20 would be ok ish! This is ok as they are likely to reduce what you ask for anyway.
Take a list and some "prompt" words on it – respite, transport, assessment to keep you focussed and avoid being side tracked.
Take some of your own notes – this is allowed – it's your review!
Never agree to anything you are not entirely comfortable with, you would take a cooling off period prior to a major purchase, this is much more important!
Keep phrases up your sleeve like "I would like a few days to consider this" or " I would like a chance to discuss this with my significant other" etc.
Remember many parents feel intimidated in this type of situation. You are normally outnumbered and vulnerable as your family life is dissected often by relative strangers. It is normal to feel like this. Prepare, Plan, Take Support, Try not to be pressured and don't forget YOU ARE THE EXPERT ON YOUR CHILD.

Firstly, I apologise for the dodgey photos, they were the best from a bad bunch! Secondly, how cute is this smock dress?! I really wanted the elephant smock dress from ASOS that the lovely Tor was wearing at the FABB Bloggers Event in Manchester a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not the biggest dress wearer and wasn't too sure if the smock style would suit me. As everyone knows, ASOS have the most amazing sales so I had a look in the sale section for some smock style dresses and I found this little beauty! It was only £15 so I thought I'd give it a whirl and if I didn't like it, it wasn't the end of the world. Luckily, I adore it! I got in from the petite section in a size 4 as most size 6/8 dresses are always too long and make me look shorter than I actually I am, I was a bit worried it would be too small but it isn't at all and it is a bit longer than I hoped but I still love it! It's so comfortable, airy and light; perfect for this hot and humid weather we seem to be having! The photos don't give the dress any justice (again, sorry!) and you can't really see the shape of it unfortunately! Also from ASOS, I bought the Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipstick in 107, a gorgeous dark pinky berry shade (not very summery - I know) it was also in the sale for only £3.50 which is amazing! Not that they are expensive at full price either! Because the UK is currently experiencing a heatwave I have been wearing these tortoise shell wayfarer type style sunglasses from primark.
Hope you have a fab weekend, thank you for reading!
37 comments on "Outfit of the Day: Aztec "
The sunglasses are adorable, and the dress looks so cute on you!
Cute dress - love the pattern & it looks floaty and light. Perfect for this crazy heat wave.
You have amazing taste! The lipstick looks so good on you!
Love the pattern on the dress & the lipstick colour, think i might have to purchase this colour!
really pretty patterns and outfit idea!
Great blog, i think i will be using some of your outfit ideas, there just to good.
I love the print of the dress, so cute and summery!


The Fifth Latin American Regional Dialogue of the Mitigation Action Implementation Network (MAIN), sponsored by CCAP and hosted by the Peruvian Ministry of Environment, was held in Lima, Peru through the generous support of Germany ICI, the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Building, and Environment Canada.
This dialogue in Lima built on previous meetings of the MAIN network and went substantively deeper into two sectors in particular: waste and clean energy (renewable energy and energy efficiency). It included interventions by sectoral and finance experts, case studies from other countries, roundtable policy discussions, and interactive breakout sessions that address sectoral barriers and options for overcoming them. Building also on the success of CCAP's recent Global NAMA Financing Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Peru dialogue included presentations of promising developing-country NAMAs in these sectors and provided contributing countries and representatives of financial institutions an opportunity to learn about evolving waste and clean energy actions in participant countries.

Last week we showed you an (updated) overview of all gold Speedmaster Moonwatch models from 1969 till 1995. Let's continue with these gold Speedmaster watches from 1995 onwards. This article goes back to 2015, but since then, a number of watches in gold have been added to the Speedmaster family. We will keep it Moonwatch only though, so no gold Speedmaster Racing or other 9×00 caliber models.
A gold Speedmaster (Professional) Moonwatch is a rarity, even though some models have been produced in relatively high numbers or not as a limited or numbered edition at all. The fact that there is no regular gold Speedmaster Professional (with the exception of the limited Apollo XVII) in the current Omega collection is most probably based on lacking sales numbers. Truth to be told, I've never seen a gold Speedmaster on the wrist of someone outside our Speedy Tuesday GTG events or outside the inner circle of watch friends we have.
Without further ado, below you will find a full overview of all gold Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch models from 1995 till today.
This 1995 Speedmaster Apollo – Soyuz 20th anniversary commemorative version is limited to 200 pieces only. On first sight, it doesn't look very much different from the regular production gold Speedmaster Profession from that time. Upon closer inspection, you will notice that the sub dials have the gold trim, like on the MIR version that I discussed in last week's article.
The strange thing is that it has case number BA145.0052 and PIC number is unknown for now. Moonwatch Only refers to it as 3691.50, but that reference number is also used for the 1992 Jubilee 27 CHRO C12 on a leather strap. However, it might also be the case that Omega just used the same reference number for this model, as it was for the Italian market only and just in 200 pieces.
Inside, this watch has the Omega caliber 863 movement. WatchFinder.co.uk sent us an image of the caliber 863 in the 3691.50 (although this one does refer to the 27 CHRO 12 model limited to 999 pieces, the movement is identical).
Don't confuse this model with the new 2015 introduced First Omega in Space in Sedna gold, that can be seen directly below. This 1997 model was introduced especially for the Japan market. It is a 'regular' Speedmaster Professional model with 'panda' dial, in yellow gold.
Japan is a Speedmaster country, many specific models have been made for that market only in the past. The most recent model was the 2004 Speedmaster Pro Racing, but before that, there were quite a few others. Like the Mitsukoshi dial (panda in stainless steel) and this Speedmaster Perpetual Calendar.
The image below was taken with permission from LunarOyster.com. The golden Panda for the Japan market was limited to just 40 pieces.
This model was also available with a gold bracelet, with reference number 3193.50. Below, an image of the gold Speedmaster Broad Arrow on a leather strap, reference 3693.50.81. List price, at the time of introduction, was CHF 7600 Swiss Francs and the full gold version retailed at CHF 16500 Swiss Francs.
In 1999, Omega introduced this white gold Speedmaster Professional Moonphase. Based on the same Lemania movement with moon phase complication (add-on module) as the 1985 Speedmaster Moonphase models, but in a white gold Speedmaster Professional case. When it was released I was under the impression it was meant to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Apollo XI mission, but there is no such reference on the watch itself. This watch was in production for just a few years, but you don't come across them very often. This model was only available on a leather strap with folding buckle. Inside, the caliber 1866 movement was fitted. The white gold case back had the standard NASA engraving, like the regular Speedmaster Pro production. Rumor is that there are less than 300 pieces of this watch produced, this is unconfirmed though.
The Apollo – Soyuz mission has been commemorated a lot by Omega, in total 4 times, with two stainless steel models (the 1975 model with mission logo at 12 o'clock, the 2010 model with meteorite dial, the 1995 gold edition and this 2000 edition). Except for the Apollo XI mission, it is the most commemorated mission by Omega. On the third place we find the Apollo XIII mission, with one 1995 mission patch model and two Speedmaster Snoopy Award editions.
Anyway, in 2000 Omega commemorated the historical mission from 1975 with a gold Speedmaster Apollo – Soyuz 25th Anniversary edition, limited to 50 pieces only. This time, the gold Apollo – Soyuz Speedmaster was a bit more bold than its 1995 pre-decessor. Not only the printing of the Omega logo and 'Omega Speedmaster Professional' wording was done in gold colored font, the sub dial at 6 o'clock had the mission 'Apollo – CHO3' name printed in gold as well. The case back didn't have the usual NASA inscription, but also the mission name and the limited edition number engraved. This watch was available on a gold bracelet (reference 3195.59) but also on a leather strap (reference 3695.59).
Below you will also find an image of the rhodium plated caliber 1863 movement, successor of the caliber 863 movement.
In 2017 (January 16th), astronaut Gene Cernan passed away. He was the Last Man on the Moon during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Before that, he flew on the Gemini 9A and Apollo 10 missions. So last year, Omega introduced the 3rd Speedmaster Apollo XVII limited edition. In two flavours: in stainless steel (1972 pieces) and in gold (272 pieces). In the second picture below, you will see the limited number at '72', this is because it is a prototype and Omega realized that this number was too low for the demand. The retail price of this model was €18600. An in-depth write-up on the gold Speedmaster Apollo XVII was done last year here on Fratello. Due to the relatively high price you might come across one at your Omega dealer still. In the pre-owned market, only a few of these popped up at retail price.
It is a bit of a cheeky addition to this article, as the Starmus model is not on the market. Only three of these gold Speedmaster Starmus watches have been made for the winners of the Starmus Festival. Winners of the Starmus Festival 2017 are musician Jean-Michel Jarre (no further explanation needed), Neil deGrasse Tyson (might not ring a bell for people outside the USA immediately, but he is an American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. He also hosted a number of space-related TV shows and known for TV Series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey) and last but not least, the creators and cast of The Big Bang Theory. I would be very surprised if any of these Starmus watches will come on the market in the near future.
As you can see, Omega produced quite a high number of gold Speedmaster watches in the 1990's and that ended around 2000. Even though the white gold Speedmaster Professional Moonphase model was in production till the mid-2000's. The regular Speedmaster Professional in gold that I showed you in the previous article, was in production till 2011/2012. Even though it was regular production, it is still a rarity, as explained earlier in this article. Except for the Apolo XVII (and if it is still available), there is no gold Speedmaster Professional in the collection right now. Of course, with my ever-increasing interest in gold watches, I hope this will change in the future.
I hope this article changed your interest a bit in the gold models, hopefully for the good. This article also showed you that you don't have to bring a ridiculous amount of money to buy a gold Speedmaster watch on the pre-owned market. Especially compared to some vintage models in steel, or some of its competition in gold (like the Daytona), these watches are relatively affordable.
What this article did not show are the platinum models (Omega did a couple of them, even recently) like this Apollo XI 2009 commemorative model or the skeleton models (like the one we covered in 2012). We did cover them extensively in other articles (click the links) though. I also didn't cover some 'specialty' versions of gold Speedmasters, packed with diamonds and rubies.
In case we missed a gold Speedmaster Professional model, please let us know so we can add it to this article.

Cubs sign ex-NL MVP Bellinger to man center field
Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Cody Bellinger celebrates a home run against the Atlanta Braves during the seventh inning in Game 7 of the 2020 National League Championship Series in Arlington, Texas. Associated Press/Oct. 18, 2020

Updated 12/6/2022 10:02 PM
The Cubs filled their hole in center field on Tuesday, signing free-agent center fielder Cody Bellinger to a one-year contract.
The New York Post's Jon Heyman first reported the deal. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the contract is worth $17.5 million pending a physical.
During his six-year run with the Dodgers, Bellinger was the National League's MVP in 2019 while hitting .305/.406/.629 with 47 home runs and 115 RBI.
The left-hander fell on hard times the last two seasons, batting .165 in 2021 and .210 this year.
Bellinger, who had major shoulder surgery following the 2020 season, was non-tendered by Los Angeles in November.
In 2021, he was on the injured list with a left shin fracture, left hamstring tightness and a left rib fracture.
"Obviously, it's been a unique path for Cody as he's battled through injuries and worked diligently over the past few years to return to his all-star-caliber performance," Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. "However, it hasn't played out as we all would have hoped or expected and therefore, we had to make the difficult decision to non-tender."
While he is also a standout defender at first base, the 27-year-old Bellinger is expected to spend most of his time in the middle of the Cubs' outfield, between Ian Happ in left and Seiya Suzuki in right.
"I remember when he first got in the league, first base, smooth hands," Cubs manager David Ross told reporters at the winter meetings Tuesday. "A dynamic center fielder, great outfielder. Hasn't had the success he had early on, but definitely a lot of potential for a great player. He's a really good fit from a perspective of it is great defense, great baserunning, left-handed bat with the potential to have an uptick offensively if that works out."
A healthy Bellinger undoubtedly has a better chance of producing instead of underperforming.
"I think that's got to play a part in it," Ross said. "Playing through an injury, trying to come back and learning how to balance, wanting to be out on the field and actually getting fully healthy I think is what a lot of players in my experience deal with and try to rush back and maybe not getting all the way there.
"And getting into a space where you've got a leg issue, you've got a shoulder issue, you get into some bad habits. Bad habits create mistakes or make it tougher to hit, and then you get into this rabbit hole of chasing the feeling that you used to have and where you're at mechanically. There's a lot of freedom of getting a full off-season to get healthy and recognize that, and a change of scenery sometimes is a benefit for a lot of guys."
Marquez back:
After being non-tendered by the Cubs on Nov. 18, left-hander Brailyn Marquez is returning on a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.
The 23-year-old starter was once a top pitching prospect, but injury issues sidelined him the past two seasons.

Q: Executing gradle build tasks in custom tasks I have a custom task in gradle Called release and I want this task to execute the clean and build tasks:
task release
{
    //do something
    clean
    build
}

I know it is possible to call tasks from command line like
gradle build release

But I want to know  wether it is possible to execute build tasks within custom tasks?

A: You can simply use 'finalizedBy' feature either by configure it inside 'release' task:
task release
{
    finalizedBy clean, build

    // Do some stuff
}

or configure it after 'release' task:
release.finalizedBy clean, build

Note that this feature is currently in incubation and may change in the future.

I'm trying to get the record that I made at my birthday party last year, trying to get that out, and the lawyers are diddling around with it and it probably won't be out until next year. I don't know.
Marian McPartland
Marian McPartland's quotes
Baldwin is sort of getting to be a bit funny. I don't know what happened, but a few years ago they suddenly went bankrupt and Gibson bought the whole outfit. Since then they haven't seemed to be doing an awfully good job of providing pianos.
Nowadays it seems to me nobody takes trouble about anything, especially writing songs.
At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don't have a computer; I don't have e-mail; and I really don't need something in my house that I would be sitting in front of for hours.
So I have a friend who works for me once a week. She's got e-mail, so anybody that must send an e-mail, they send it to her and she faxes it to me. Sounds like a long way of doing things, but it works for me.
Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.
I like minor tunes.
I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.
Boy, I'm just quietly doing my thing, and I hope they'll look around and get my record out.
I would really hate to have e-mail. It's bad enough with all the mail I get.
There are a million good tunes.
I'm not too fond of changing things into waltzes, but sometimes that works.
I'd just as soon be on a good Steinway or Yamaha just as well.
I love to play in the different keys like B or F sharp, or keys that most people don't play in, because they have a better resonance or something. I'm really not fond of F and C. I just stay away from those if I can.
So if I think of something in my head I don't have to do it. If I can't do I don't do it, I do something else.
As long as I can still be on my own and do my own thing and be working full time, it's great.
The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.
Although I do feel that with a show like ours we ourselves are getting a lot more young listeners at concerts.
It's awful to have to, but I've started thinking about that, you know. 86. I'm thinking, well, maybe I might make it to 90. At least I'd like to have my brains.
That's something Mary Lou Williams used to tell me: If you're not feeling right about what you're doing and you play a minor tune it all comes back, falls into place. I don't know if that's true, but I do it.
By the way, I got a Grammy, which was a big thrill.
I have a West Coast rhythm section and a New York rhythm section. I've got them spread out all over the place.
My hands look terrible but I can do anything I want to do, so, you know, I just think I'm playing all around with more good taste and not dashing up and down the piano.
A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.
I had been offered a Hollywood contract before my 18th birthday. It gave me the spark I needed.
I told my father I wanted to play the banjo, and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday, and between that time and my birthday, I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.
I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera, which I bought for his birthday.
Sarah Sutton
The best way to remember your wife's birthday is to remember it once.
E. Joseph Cossman
It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.
Well, I started conducting kind of by accident. I wanted to give myself a special birthday present for my fortieth birthday, and I was living in San Francisco at the time and I started attending some of the concerts and then simply dropping hints.
This is a wonderful way to celebrate an 80th birthday... I wanted to be 65 again, but they wouldn't let me - Homeland Security.
You know, we'd just had a birthday, he was... you know, he still had a future out of him, and all I can is he was just one of the most beautiful people in the world... a very gifted man, and it's a loss to the world, not just for us.
It is ironic that the one thing that all religions recognize as separating us from our creator, our very self-consciousness, is also the one thing that divides us from our fellow creatures. It was a bitter birthday present from evolution.
Annie Dillard
With a recent birthday, I've been acting now for twenty years.
Thayer David
On my birthday, I was in Milan for the collections.
I crashed my boyfriend's birthday when I was 12 years old. He didn't invite me and so I showed up.
I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.
Jill Clayburgh
I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday.'
My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday, so I said I wanted to read poetry with her.
Guy Johnson
The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday.
I had arranged a birthday party for him and my children, who are all Aquarians. Instead, we got married. I ran out of excuses. It was just us and my children.
My second play, The Birthday Party, I wrote in 1958 - or 1957. It was totally destroyed by the critics of the day, who called it an absolute load of rubbish.
Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new.
My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing.
I had a birthday one night on a farm we were shooting on. I walked into the tent, and there were 150 people waiting for me, all wearing masks of my face.
I play PC and Xbox games at home, and I just got a PSP as a birthday present.
Uwe Boll
I trained to be a priest - started to. I went to seminary school when I was 11. I wanted to be a priest, but when they told me I could never have sex, not even on my birthday, I changed my mind.

"I want to give audiences an elevated viewing experience": An interview with Disappearance at Clifton Hill director Albert Shin
Musanna Ahmed
Albert Shin makes the point with his feature Disappearance at Clifton Hill that he can produce high-quality work on a low budget, offering a mystery thriller that weighs a ton in intrigue and atmosphere.
The movie, which follows a distressed woman returning to her hometown of Niagara Falls to find answers to a brisk kidnapping she witnessed as a youth, is brought to life by its star Tuppence Middleton and is nicely embellished with a unique portrait of the Falls. We spoke to Shin about how he developed the story from a memory he had as a child, the resistance he faced during production, his collaborators and the films that inspired him.
The film is based on a real memory of yours when you witnessed a kidnapping as a child. How did you develop the narrative from this image in your head, especially the idea of going back to a place to reconstruct the memory?
Albert Shin: There were multiple factors that turned it into the elixir that is this movie. It all started from my own personal experience in Niagara Falls. My parents owned a motel, very much like in the movie, and the prologue that happened isn't beat-for-beat but it is a reconstruction of my own memory and we shot it in the exact same place where I experienced it so there's a surrealness to it. Jumping from there, I wanted to make a film that would reflect the town and make the city a character, build the world in the way a movie can do. I don't know how much you know about Niagara Falls but it's a very interesting city. It's a border town between Canada and the US, a tourist-trap town, and calls itself the honeymoon capital of the world. It has a motel culture to it too – I don't know how much of that there is in the UK but it's a very different kind of city, a very different vibe to wherever you'd go in North America. It's where you're trying to lure tourists, but they never come back. I thought this hall-of-mirrors facade would make for an interesting setting for a mystery movie and, by using an unreliable narrator as the protagonist, there was an interesting combination of things that I could do. At some point, the imagination took over.
I think one of your biggest strengths is building the world. The detailed mise en scène and eclectic characters give it a strong sense of location and atmosphere. How much of it was constructed versus how much of it was natural?
AS: It was a combination of both. We shot the film in Niagara Falls – that was a very big component for me because, generally speaking, you're always trying to build sets or shoot in Toronto or any production hub, but for me, it was important to shoot on location. Plus, it obviously would have been awfully hard to reconstruct some of these locations on a small budget, like the UFO Diner. However, while we were getting ready to shoot there, the city was very protective of itself about people coming in and changing the narrative of the tourist-trap, family-friendly, shiny town. In reality, Niagara Falls is not like how they advertise it and that's what this movie is very much about. We had to adjust as well. We couldn't get access to some places we wanted to shoot at and there was some resistance from the powers that be, so we had to build some sets instead. Kind of like in the movie, there's another layer of people who aren't the government or city council that run the town.
You gave an interview in which you described how you faced resistance from various local businesses regarding production. It seemed like they'd been confronted with this scenario before. Why do you think filmmakers are drawn to making dark stories in the Falls?
AS: Well, I think there are a few reasons. For anybody that goes there, it conjures certain imagery with its uniqueness and how it differs from your preconceptions. Your imagination takes over from there. The city itself has an interesting history going back to its inception, such as the War of 1812, which was a battle between the British and the Americans. It has a bloody, stark history with the first natives and indigenous people of America and European settlers too. Even to this day, because it's a border town, there's a lot of organised crime, however, the city itself is always trying to present something different. The honeymoon capital of the world with its wax museums and promenades and arcades – that contradiction and dichotomy are always good for dramatic storytelling.
So, it seems like a lot of your story is drawn from the presented image of Niagara Falls versus the reality of the city from your own experience. But are there any particular films you looked to for inspiration too?
AS: Yeah, for sure. I thought a lot about gumshoe detective, noir movies – Chinatown is an easy comparison. Water, power, that kind of stuff that affects a city. But more than that it was playing with the idea of a restricted narrative – this whole movie is told through the perspective of one character. You only see what she sees, and you only know what she knows. It's also about obsession and there's a Korean film, Memories of Murder, directed by Bong Joon-Ho, that's one of my favourite films of all time. People also bring up Videodrome because of the way we played with analog film and obviously because [Videodrome director] David Cronenberg is in my film. The subtext of this film revolves around trauma and memory and I wanted to play with the tropes of mystery thrillers in a fun way to find my own music within the genre.
I think one of the ways in which you make the audience enjoy their exploration of this unique world is through the great central performance of Tuppence Middleton. Could you speak about working with her?
AS: Tuppence is an amazing actress who can do almost anything. I'd felt that from the work of hers I'd seen in the past but I didn't think she had done anything like this and, as a filmmaker, you're always trying to find a role for actors that they haven't exactly done but that they could do and open up a new avenue. Working with her and getting to know her, she's also just the nicest, kindest person so it was a great collaboration. She's in every scene of the film so if she wasn't a talented performer it would've been a much harder film to make! She was a great partner throughout the entire production and it's important to have an amazing performer be the visual representation of a small-budget movie.
How did you rope in David Cronenberg for a fun little role?
AS: We were looking for an actor that brought an inherent persona to the role and it was hard because it also had to be an actor of a certain age. We were getting really close to production and hadn't been able to cast that role. Then it got so late in the game that we had to find a local actor – originally, we were scouting in L.A. – and David is a Toronto legend. My producer and my casting director knew him personally and they threw out the idea. In my mind, he was probably going to say no but we sent him the script and he responded immediately and within a week he was on set and we were throwing him in the middle of the river. It was a very serendipitous scenario.
Ultimately, what are you hoping for people to take away from the viewing experience?
AS: Obviously, I want people to have a fun time – it's a film where I want to give audiences an elevated viewing experience that would have the facade of the horror, mystery, thriller genres but was more prominently an exploration of character that subverted conventions. Something memorable, fun and strange.
If they tell you they want to go to Niagara Falls after seeing it, have you done your job?
AS: For sure! The way I've talked about the city, it makes me sound like I'm trying to slag the place off but [the film] really is a love letter to Niagara Falls. I wanted to make the city feel cinematic – it's not a neo-realist portrayal of the city but rather depicts a certain feeling of it. Hopefully, it's an interesting representation in the cinematic universe of what Niagara Falls is and the ethos of the place. I certainly want to get people interested in this quirky, peculiar place.
What are you working on next?
AS: I'm not allowed to say anything specifically but I'm definitely working on another project right now. Obviously, because of the current state of the world, it's hard to know how it'll play out because, originally, we planned to shoot it later this year but I have no idea when it's going to happen now. It's a vastly different type of film to Disappearance at Clifton Hill – I'm always trying to jump genres and offer different cinematic experiences.
I look forward to seeing it and hope you reunite with your cinematographer Catherine Lutes and composers Alex Sowinski and Leland Whitty because they contributed strongly to the effect you went for in Disappearance at Clifton Hill.
AS: I had never worked with any of them before. They were all people I admired and wanted to work with and thankfully they all came on board. Catherine is a superstar – I'm not sure I'll be able to get her again because she's so busy now shooting things and on her way to Hollywood. I'm gonna have to beg her to keep shooting my movies! Alex and Leland are part of a band called BadBadNotGood. They had never done a movie score before and I was looking for someone who didn't have a single bag of tricks or muscle memory when it came to composing. They didn't – they just brought their inherent genius and created such a memorable and interesting score that I'm sure might be strange to audiences who aren't used to hearing this sort of approach to this kind of film but for me, it was the final key to unlock the movie. The soundtrack is one of the things I'm most excited about and I hope people feel the same way.
Everybody should be listening to BadBadNotGood.
AS: Absolutely. Really great guys and their new album is on the way too. I was very lucky to have them.
Thank you so much for the interview, Albert, we appreciate you giving us the time.
Disappearance at Clifton Hill is released in the UK digitally on demand on 20th July 2020.

If you've been following President Trump's Twitter page you are probably aware that the photo he was using on his profile matched the one above.
What you might not have realized is that the photo was actually taken during President Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration ceremony.
While Trump was attempting to steal from Obama, the former US President was spreading united on his own Twitter page.
Trump, realizing he was caught in a lie, quickly changed his Twitter background.
The page was later changed to show a picture of Donald Trump inside the Oval Office.


Each Monday I post a picture on Instagram with a snapshot of something we do because marriage matters. You can read more about why we do this on my first Marriage Matters post. Having a strong and happy marriage doesn't just happen – it takes work! The things I share each Monday aren't things we've mastered. We certainly have our rough days, but the good ones are so good that they make the rough days worth it!
Here's a recap of my #MondayMarriageMatters posts from October!
I hope you'll join in the #MondayMarriageMatters challenge – of course you don't have to post it on Instagram unless you choose to do that, but I love seeing what you share! There are over 175 posts under the #MondayMarriageMatters hashtag – head over there for some great marriage encouragement!
I'm happy to have you follow on Instagram! Thanks!
I think you always have such great ideas in these posts! Marriage DOES take work, 110%.
Yep – my Papa says that marriage works when both people give 100% – it's not 50/50!
Cinnamon Rolls from scratch are definitely a labor of love! I would definitely call that a win too!
While I'm not married, I've witnessed the good/bad days with my parents and other family/friends. Marriage takes effort, that's for sure! Having those good days gives you something to hold onto through the rough patches.
That's wonderful that you've had such a great example in your parents!
Yes! The good days make the rough days worth it. Thanks for sharing your encouragement and inspiration each week. I missed the last one you shared on Instagram. That is too funny!
Taking time to work on your marriage is time well spent.


Protection System Analyzer (QT-PSATM) | Quanta Technology, LLC.
The growing complexity of modern protective devices and the evolving nature of power grids have posed several challenges to transmission system operators. To maintain the reliability and resiliency of the grid, power system protection engineers need to simulate and analyze protection system behavior using modern protection simulation software applications (CAPE,ASPEN,etc.), which can be configured to conduct comprehensive automated protection studies. These studies produce extensive amounts of raw data that can become very overwhelming and is one of the main barriers protection engineers face in conducting advanced automated studies.
