Seeking Spirituality in Nature
By Rachel Sturges
For many, the clearest path to seeing God is through the natural world (Travis Bara).
In the house I grew up in, my brother Justin kept a turtle pond in his bedroom. He slept on the floor next to it. He also had an incubator. Once, he hatched two eggs taken from an abandoned nest—at least, he said it was abandoned. More likely he disturbed the nest, then carried home the eggs, smelling of grass and feathers, against his skin. He shouldn't have done it; it's illegal to keep mallard ducks as pets. (Those ducks would eventually be rewilded by a conservation agency.) Now, thirty years later, I think about how he slept next to those painted turtles, and woke to the chirping sounds of the new life he'd helped hatch.
At the age of thirty-seven, my brother died from complications related to alcoholism. I've struggled in the past few years to make sense of his life and my connection to him. Though we had the same sandy hair and blue eyes, we were opposites. Justin was wild: I was studious. During middle school, he brought home novels which he never opened: Robert Lipsyte's The Contender and Jack London's The Call of the Wild. I hungrily read those boy books on the dock behind our house, and set them back in his room before he ever noticed.
Justin hated attending mass. My father always chose a pew close to the front of the church; he made us sing hymns. All that sitting still, rising, then kneeling bothered Justin. Through the stained glass windows, he could see no sky, no trees, no vistas beyond what the priests offered in their homilies.
My parents didn't know what to do with him. They bought him a child's swimming pool to use as a pond and an extra-large filter that ran continuously; the sound of moving water eased his troubled sleep. They bought him surf-fishing equipment and seine nets, killie traps and tackle boxes of lures. They invited the wild in, and encouraged Justin to go outside. They signed him up for sailing lessons and fly-fishing camp. But it was the animals he collected as pets that gave him the most solace. Why?
In The Spiritual Child, psychologist Lisa Miller argues that kids "identify deeply with animals, not only as their protectors but as kindred spirits. Animals have traits that we also have—ferociousness, fear, tenderness, vulnerability—and children naturally find in them an embodied vocabulary for their own emotions and energies." Encountering the other in the mysterious demeanor of a wild animal or pet can help children cope with the parts of themselves adults so often reject. Miller also writes that caring for animals is a way to address "spiritual concerns: understanding ourselves, understanding our place in the world, understanding our emotions and ways of being."
Encountering the other in the mysterious demeanor of a wild animal or pet can help children cope with the parts of themselves adults so often reject.
When we were teenagers, my brother often fished in the ocean at night. Late one evening, my father turned the dial on the radio to the weather report. A big storm was coming up the coast. We had heard stories of people being struck by lightning on the beach. My dad didn't want to wait until morning to pick Justin up. He asked if I wanted to come with him.
We followed the Toms River inland through several towns, crossed one bridge, and turned again toward the coast. (Although Justin was on a barrier beach just two miles across the bay from us by water, there was no direct route on land to get to him.) We then crossed a mile-long bridge that spanned the Barnegat Bay. Finally, we took the road that ran parallel to the Atlantic Ocean for six miles before we reached the place where Justin had been left earlier that day.
My father stayed in the car, and I ran onto the beach I knew so well. The wind rose. Raindrops splattered my face. The clouds moved quickly, and the surf crashed. All I could smell was brine. I remember standing anxious, excited, and alive on the beach, calling out to Justin. In the rush of the waves, and in that dark sky, in what I could and couldn't see of that early storm, I felt immensity within and before me. Eventually, Justin saw me, and came to me. He must have, though I don't remember that part.
Only recently have I come to see my brother's attachment to the natural world as a form of spirituality. His faith came from crust, current, and starlight. I try to see God as he did, studying the inside of an old turtle shell. In the dull, brown sanctum, I imagine sky, a flash of wings.

This Doctor Has Written Thousands of Postcards to Get Health Advice to India's Poor
Posted 22 August 2015 11:25 GMT
Dr. Aaraveeti Ramayogaiah, a government doctor in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, says he wrote 27 thousand postcards about preventive medicine during his career. Credit: Rahul M
This article and radio report by Daniel Gross for The World originally appeared on PRI.org on August 19, 2015, and is republished here as part of a content-sharing agreement.
High-tech hospitals are now commonplace in Indian cities. But they're also expensive, putting them out of the reach of the poor.
So one Indian doctor found an ultra low-tech approach to delivering health care: writing postcards.
Over the course of his career, Dr. Aaraveeti Ramayogaiah wrote about 27,000 postcards to patients and acquaintances. Most of them explained preventive health care practices, like washing hands and boiling water. The postcards were intended to help thousands of people who couldn't afford or easily get to a physician.
In an interview with the Indian journalist Rahul M, Dr. Ramayogaiah said he came from a poor family and became a government doctor at the age of 27.
"He started seeing how health in India was driven by the profit motive, which was largely linked to the pharmaceutical industry," says Rahul.
The high costs of care inspired Ramayogaiah to take a different approach. He collected the postal addresses of thousands of patients and even strangers. In his postcards, he explained that some health issues — like diarrheal diseases — can be avoided without medical treatment.
He argued that in communities where doctors are difficult to access, residents should focus on improving sanitation and the environment.
His postcard campaign and editorials made headlines in Indian newspapers. But he told Rahul that some outlets didn't take him seriously, because of his rigid stance against high-priced corporate hospitals.

Recently, Ramayogaiah's opposition to expensive health care became deeply personal. "He's suffering from cancer right now," says Rahul. A brain tumor has left him bedridden and weak.
Yet even in his poor health, Ramayogaiah remains skeptical of India's for-profit hospitals. "He doesn't want to go to a good hospital to treat himself," says Rahul.
"He has fought his whole life against the system of corporatization of health," Rahul adds. "Which is the only system that can help him extend his life a little longer. In some sense, for him, his principles were more important than life itself."

No questions came in this month, so I thought I would give you an update on some recently published research that gives women another reason to get regular mammograms.
On July 9 a study was published online in the Annals of Surgical Oncology. It demonstrated that if a woman got regular mammograms and, unfortunately, did develop breast cancer, the treatment for that woman was markedly less extensive and less radical than for those women in the study group who did not get regular mammograms, and even worse yet, for women who did not get any mammograms at all.
The study looked at women age 40 and over, but in particular addressed the controversy of women in the age range of 40-49 years of age. It found these women also had the benefit of early detection and less radical treatment, if they developed breast cancer.
Yet another reason to begin getting yearly mammograms at the age of 40, and tell your girlfriends to do the same.
Join us again next month. In the meantime, if you have questions, feel free to e-mail me: michael.ulissey@cdirad.com; And remember: friends don't let friends skip mammograms.
Michael J. Ulissey, M.D., is a partner at the Breast Diagnostic Centers of Auburn and Federal Way. In addition to taking care of patients locally, he continues to participate in research as an adjunct professor at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center.

A private declaration is a special sort of article you compose generally when you're applying to school or applying for scholarship or grant programs. Individual statements tend to be designed to inform a bit about who you really are and usually reveal to the admissions committee why you are a great fit for their academic program.
Sometimes, you are provided a topic that your particular personal statement is supposed to talk about. In other cases, you are going to you should be asked to share your self or the reason why you will be a great fit.
One type of personal declaration this is certainly generally written is a statement outlining the reason why you would certainly be a great fit for a particular academic program or around why you'll would you like to go to that program.
For entry to a graduate system in training: "When I had been a child, I was always looking for part models and my fourth class instructor stepped up to fill the role. My fourth grade teacher took a personal desire for me and her belief that I could achieve success changed my entire life. I wish to have the ability to give back and provide other kids with the same motivation that We got."
For entry to a health school system: "I believe that physicians can shape a society which help a society to grow. Healthcare is one of standard and fundamental of personal legal rights and my goal is always to be a doctor and so I could work to ensure no one is rejected accessibility the health they require."
For admission to a legislation school program: "My first encounter using legal system was whenever my friend's parents had been wrongfully evicted from their apartment. Legal counsel helped all of them for their money back and to obtain back to their house, and the attorney provided all of them hope. We, too, want to be able to go after a noble profession that enables us to give the person with average skills a voice within the appropriate system."
For admission to a certain university: "It offers been my dream to review journalism, and College X has the training course program that will enable me to go after my interests and also to develop my skills."
Sometimes, your individual declaration will likely to be concentrated not on why you need to go to a college program but rather on who you are and exactly why you would certainly be just the right fit. As an example, some individuals might concentrate on the battles they overcame in order to be able to go to the college. Other individuals might discuss just how their particular perspective will make them a valuable inclusion to the course.
Given that very first individual in my household to truly have the opportunity to go to college, I will appreciate the opportunity to attend your school because i am aware essential training is within orifice doorways."
As an immigrant who stumbled on the usa once I ended up being 15, in my opinion I have a distinctive perspective on social issues that will allow us to make valuable efforts during my law college classes.
These types of individual statements tend to be dedicated to showing that you would be an invaluable addition towards the class therefore the admissions committee is eager to perhaps you have go to.

Towards the Mountain: A Story of Grief and Hope Forty Years on from Erebus (Trade Paperback / Paperback)
By Myles, Sarah
On 28 November 1979 an Air New Zealand plane crashed into the lower slopes of Mount Erebus in broad daylight while on a sight-seeing trip to Antarctica, killing all 257 souls on board. This was New Zealand's greatest peacetime tragedy. Not only was the crash deeply shocking for o...ur small country (it is said that everyone knew of someone on board) but the legal and political aftermath wreaked its own trail of debris. The poor conduct of airline management in the months that followed the crash was described as 'a litany of lies' by a Royal Commission of Inquiry who found the airline at fault rather than the pilots. In the aftermath, the stories of the families involved were forgotten, until now. Sarah Myles has researched extensively into the recovery and identification process that brought her grandfather and so many others home. She weaves through this her family's traumatic experiences and her own memories of that time, discussing the legacy of grief and the possibility of hope.

A Long Petal of the Sea (Hardback)
By Allende, Isabel
That September 2, 1939, the day of the Spanish exiles' splendid arrival in Chile, the Second World War broke out in Europe. Victor Dalmau is a young doctor when he is caught up in the Spanish Civil War, a tragedy that leaves his life - and the fate of his country - forever change...d. Together with his sister-in-law, the pianist Roser Bruguera, he is forced out of his beloved Barcelona and into exile. When opportunity to seek refuge in Chile arises, they take it, boarding a ship chartered by the poet Pablo Neruda to the promised `long petal of sea and wine and snow' over the seas. There, they find themselves enmeshed in a rich web of characters who come together in love and tragedy over the course of four generations, destined to witness the battle between freedom and repression as it plays out across the world. A masterful work of historical fiction about hope, exile and belonging, A Long Petal of the Sea is Isabel Allende at the height of her powers.

From Taranto to Trieste (Paperback)
By Mallinson, Jennifer
Taranto to Trieste is an account of the author's fascinating journey to retrace the actual path of the 2nd New Zealand Division in Italy from its arrival in October 1943 until the end of the European war. Although a personal journey with personal reflections, the real story is ab...out the largely off-the-beaten track places which the troops passed through, what they saw and experienced along the way and, in some cases what they missed. To complement the Division's story, the historical context and military actions are explained with many maps as well as war-time photographs and colourful quotations from official military histories. As the author says, "There are many people of the post-war generation, and their children, with direct connections to the Italian campaign, who would like to know more about the small, mysterious places the Division passed through which appear in diaries, letters and on the back of photographs, but many of which do not appear on maps." The author's own photographs, descriptions of the places visited, the landscapes travelled and the roads followed will delight those wanting to follow in the footsteps of the 2nd Division in Italy.

A City Possessed: The Christchurch Civic Cre che Case (Paperback, 2nd edition)
By Hood, Lynley
Originally published in 2001, A City Possessed is the harrowing account of one of New Zealand's most high-profile criminal cases - a story of child sexual abuse allegations, gender politics and the law. In detailing the events of the 1990s that led up to and surrounded the allega...tions made against several staff of the Christchurch Civic Creche, author Lynley Hood shows how and why such a case could happen. A City Possessed won the Montana Medal for Non-Fiction at the 2002 Montana New Zealand Book Awards. Her penetrating analysis of the social and legal processes by which the conviction of Peter Ellis was obtained, and repeatedly upheld, raises major issues for our justice system and the way we see ourselves. Peter Ellis served seven years of a 10-year jail sentence for abusing seven children at the Christchurch Civic Creche. He has always maintained his innocence, and has gained widespread support for what many see as a miscarriage of justice. This paperback edition comes at a time when Peter Ellis and the Christchurch Civic Creche case have returned to public attention. In July 2019, a terminally ill Ellis was granted a final appeal to the Supreme Court, scheduled for November 2019.

Anne Marie von Ziegler, née en 1545 à Pillnitz et morte le  à Wolfenbüttel, est une alchimiste allemande condamnée pour escroquerie.

Biographie
Anne Marie von Ziegler est la fille de Caspar von Ziegler et de sa femme Clara von Schomburg. Sa famille appartient à la noblesse de Saxe, la famille von Ziegler, sise à Pillnitz où elle passe son enfance dans l'ancien château de Dresde. Âgée de 14 ans, elle est enceinte d'un junker et noie l'enfant peu après sa naissance, ce qui lui vaut de devoir quitter la Cour. Sa famille arrange pour elle un mariage qui dure peu de temps, son époux mourant brutalement d'une chute de cheval. Accompagnée de quelques serviteurs, elle part pour Gotha rejoindre son frère Hans von Ziegler. C'est là qu'elle est mariée, contre sa volonté, avec Heinrich Schombach, serviteur atteint de strabisme et bouffon du duc Jean-Frédéric II de Saxe.

Tandis que son mari aime à se livrer à l'espionnage, Anne Marie von Ziegler se tourne vers l'alchimie, à laquelle elle est initiée par un de ses admirateurs. C'est à Gotha que le couple fait la connaissance de Philipp Sömmering, alchimiste qui a conclu un contrat avec le duc Jean-Frédéric pour composer une teinture permettant de changer les métaux en or. Les trois protagonistes profitent des troubles qui éclatent en 1566 et 1567 dans la région et des combats qui s'ensuivent, pour s'enfuir avec l'or avancé par le Duc pour les recherches de l'alchimiste.

Séjour à Wolfenbüttel
Le trio s'installe dans la ville de Brunswick où il œuvre à gagner la confiance du duc Jules et est finalement accepté à sa cour à Wolfenbüttel. Ils sont censés y fabriquer la teinture changeant les métaux en or, teinture permettant, une fois réduite, d'assurer aussi la jeunesse éternelle. Philippe Sömmering s'est lui-même décerné le nom grec « Thérocycle » et se vante de maîtriser la fabrication de l'or. Pendant quelque temps, le duc Jules se laisse berner par le trio. Sömmering assure en outre essayer de concevoir des mousquets qui ne ratent jamais leur cible. Anne Marie von Ziegler réussit à maintes reprises à persuader le duc par ses charmes et son esprit inventif. En conséquence, celui-ci nomme Sömmering Chambellan et conseiller aux Mines et à la Métallurgie, bien que son entourage essaie de l'en dissuader.

Anne Marie Von Ziegler affirme au duc Jules qu'elle est née trois mois avant terme et qu'elle a survécu grâce à la teinture secrète, ou bien qu'elle est une protégée du duc Carl von Oettingen, un des fils de Paracelse, également détenteur du secret de la teinture et qui en aurait tiré une immense fortune, et qu'elle a l'intention de lui en soutirer la composition. Les trois associés sont également impliqués dans d'autres affaires, comme l'assassinat de serviteurs ou de complices, ou la tentative d'empoisonner la duchesse Edwige qui se méfiait d'eux. Cette tentative échoue, Anne Marie et son époux doivent fuir et partent pour Goslar. Ils ne parviennent cependant pas à se réfugier dans l'Électorat de Saxe, un courrier qu'Anne Marie a expédié à un admirateur ayant été intercepté. À la Pentecôte de l'an 1574, la bande et ses complices sont emprisonnés. Ils avouent sous la torture et sont condamnés à mort. Le , ils sont exécutés à Wolfenbüttel, soumis au supplice des tenailles et brûlés dans des chaises métalliques incandescentes.

Le couple Schombach résidait à Wolfenbüttel dans l'ancienne pharmacie au sud du pont situé devant le château, maison qui servait de laboratoire à Sömmering. Anne Marie von Ziegler y avait son propre laboratoire où elle préparait des poisons, dont celui qui devait permettre de rendre la duchesse grabataire si on en déposait sur le seuil de sa chambre.

Q: Windows XP VM or Windows 7 VM? I've got an HP laptop with 750 GB ROM,4 GB RAM,a dual-core processor with 2.4 GHz and it's running Ubuntu 12.04.
I want to use VirtualBox to make a Windows XP/7 Virtual Machine,but I don't know which one of them is better for gaming.
I think Windows XP SP3 (64-bit) would run almost any game perfectly with 3512 or 3252 MB of RAM allocated to it,because I don't really care about how my VM looks,I want top performances.
Windows 7 is very good too,but it consumes more resources so...What do you think?What should I choose?

A: Gaming in a Virtual box will not give you a good experience. 3D resources (e.g. GPU RAM) will be shared with your 12.04 host. Some games will probably work, like Minecraft. But running heavy programs like recent DirectX games will not work.
So my suggestion will be to run a XP Virtual machine for old games and dual boot Windows 7 for recent games.

Twin Cities Academy Staff Build 'Little Food Shelf' To Keep Students, Families Fed During Pandemic

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Staff at a St. Paul school decided to help their students during the pandemic by making sure they have enough to eat.
(credit: Betsy Lueth)
Twin Cities Academy (TCA) says they serve about 70% of its families with free or reduced priced lunch. And although the east side charter school delivers over 1,500 breakfast's and lunches weekly to its students, the teachers and mental health team knew that wasn't going to be enough.
This gave TCA teacher Samantha Berg and the school's social worker Lisa Dennis an idea to build a "Little Food Shelf," inspired by the "Little Library," where people can drop off shelf-stable food for families in need.
"Teenagers need a lot of food, and so many of our families rely on more than the daily breakfast and lunch we serve — the 'Little Food Shelf' is for any families on the east side who might just need a little more," Dennis said in a statement.
"A lot of our students use our food shelf at school and we know this is going to be a time of need for them," Berg said.
Now the bright blue waterproof box sits next to the "Little Library" in the courtyard at TCA, and people can drop off or pick up non-perishable food at any time of the day.

Thank you, again, for a superlative lunch yesterday: I knew it would all be perfect. You'll have to tell your butcher the beef was good. You, yourself, had cooked it to perfection. Every one of us enjoyed our meal. The beetroot was full-flavour and slightly al dente (that's a good thing!). The cheese provided the right contrast and balance to the dish.
As for the puddings – well – again, great! To have the sponge served straight from the oven makes a huge difference. I don't regret having two helpings.
So, ten in all departments, including the chef patron and her warmth of welcome.
I hope you'll let us come again next year some time?

After a hard-fought battle, Illinois residents next month can begin applying for permits to carry concealed guns in public. But those who do could face another challenge: figuring out where it's legal to carry a firearm and where having a gun could land them in jail.
While the Illinois statute lays out nearly two dozen places where guns are prohibited — including schools, public parks, government offices and hospitals — it also includes caveats that might seem confusing, even contradictory, particularly to novice gun carriers.
For example, the law prohibits guns at events where there is a large gathering of people, like neighborhood street festivals. But it allows people with guns to walk through a public gathering on the way home, to work or to their car.
That means, according to some firearms instructors, that people could legally walk through the crowd at the South Side Irish Parade with a gun tucked in their belt but they couldn't hang around and watch the performances.
And although the law forbids guns in public parks, nothing in the statute prohibits someone from carrying a gun on a trail or bike path that goes through a park.
In other words, firearms instructors said, it's OK to arm yourself while riding a bike through the Cook County Forest Preserves, but you'd better not get off your bike to use the bathroom.
In most cases, permit holders can leave their gun in the glove compartment or the trunk of their vehicle in the parking lot when they go to the Field Museum, Brookfield Zoo or other entertainment venues where firearms are prohibited. But when they go to the post office, they'd better park on the street. Under federal law, firearms aren't even allowed in the parking lot of a post office in Illinois and most other states.
Though instructors are required to teach the basics of the Illinois and federal statutes during the16-hour training course, Lawson and others said it is inevitable that inadvertent violations will occur. So it is important that permit holders be as familiar as possible with the laws.
The new law also could pose a challenge for law enforcement, according to Cook County sheriff's officials.
"There is going to be a learning curve for prosecutors and law enforcement as people carrying concealed weapons on our streets in Illinois becomes a reality, particularly in Cook County," said Cara Smith, spokeswoman for Sheriff Tom Dart.
"We are very heavily populated and also home to a tremendous amount of gun violence. … It will be a challenge on multiple fronts," she said.
There are serious penalties for violations. The first offense is a Class B misdemeanor, which has a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $2,500 fine. A second violation is a Class A misdemeanor, which could result in up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine and a six-month suspension of the concealed carry license. A three-time offender could get the same jail sentence, the same fine and a permanent revocation of the concealed carry license.
Lawmakers were forced to cobble together the new law after the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the state's long-standing concealed carry ban in December 2012.
Some gun rights supporters said the law is needlessly complicated because legislators had to try to appease the anti-gun lobby in Chicago as well as the pro-gun lobby Downstate in order to get it through the General Assembly. Gun supporters point to discrepancies in the law, such as firearms being off-limits in Cook County Forest Preserves but legal in forest preserves in the rest of the state.
For anti-gun advocates in Chicago, prohibiting guns on public trains and buses was an important issue. But David Lawson said such restrictions place an unnecessary burden on gun carriers.
As an example, he described a scenario in which an armed person goes to a restaurant for a meal and decides to take a CTA train home. In that case, the permit holder would have to unload the gun and put it in a purse, backpack or other encasement. But the trick is removing it from the holster and unloading it, he said. That can't be done in public view.
"You can't even go to a restroom inside the station and do it," Lawson said. To do it legally, the carrier would have to find a place nearby that allows firearms and go there to unload and put away the gun, he said.
Todd Vandermyde, an Illinois lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, said this is what happens when a bill is rushed through the legislature in 24 hours. But he said he is confident that the law won't be as difficult to follow as some people might fear.
Lindsay Nichols, an attorney for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said there is no reason permit holders can't comply with the law. Her concern with the law is not so much where you can or cannot take a gun but who is allowed to carry one.
One of 19 states with a so-called "shall issue" rule for residents and non-residents, Illinois must issue a license to any applicant who meets the requirements, without determining whether he or she has a legitimate reason for carrying it.
While people on both sides of the argument agree that it is unlikely the state will reverse its "shall issue" status, lawmakers likely will have to confront other issues in the next couple of years.
In December, Sheriff Dart publicly raised concerns about the law, saying the application process was flawed and could lead to guns ending up in the hands of the mentally ill and people arrested for domestic violence or gang crimes. He said the law needs to be more stringent, barring people with a single arrest for such offenses.
He said he would consider filing a lawsuit to stop what he called an "absolutely absurd" approval process that would force his office to file individual objections to applications his office deems unacceptable. Such a legal move could affect more than 150,000 applications the Illinois State Police expects to receive from Cook County residents alone beginning Jan. 5.
The state has 90 days to process the applications, meaning it could be April before most licenses are issued.
Other states have grappled with questions about guns in the workplace, both inside the building and in the parking lot, and the thorny issue of carrying guns on private property, such as in retail stores and movie theaters.
While Illinois law allows businesses to ban guns on their premises by posting a sign, some business owners have said it places too much of the burden on them. They said it forces them to make a political statement and to take too much responsibility in protecting their employees and consumers.
One of the most high-profile cases involved Starbucks, which in September asked customers to stop bringing firearms into its stores and outdoor seating areas, creating a firestorm of protests from pro-gun advocates. The coffee store chain stopped short of banning guns but made it clear that guns were unwelcome.
As far as gun control advocates are concerned, there are two key issues: keeping guns out of places where alcohol is consumed and sensitive areas where children and families gather. But pro-gun advocates said that would make firearms illegal just about everywhere.
One of the things Pearson and other gun-rights advocates tell people is to be patient as the public gets used to the idea of concealed carry. In time, they insist, laws will loosen up in Illinois, just as they did in other states.
Brian Malte, national policy director for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said the NRA has a track record of getting states to gradually ease up on requirements, often after initially throwing its support behind tougher standards.
Pearson said people are worried about the criminal misuse of firearms and want to unfairly punish the law-abiding community.
"If you're walking through an outdoor art show and you can't stop and take a look at the art, it doesn't make sense," Pearson said. "The legal permit carriers aren't the problem. The people who are the problem are the gangbangers, the illegal carriers of firearms, the drug dealers.


The achievement of an aim or the gain of wealth and status is the state that most people prioritize. This state is termed as the success state. Success is the lover of everyman but as trophies, battles are to be won to gain them.
In life, before one attains the success state that s/he longs for, there are many battles to be won. One of the very first battles on the road to success is the battle of self or the battle to be self-disciplined.
Temper: it is said that the man who does not rule his temper can never achieve success that belongs to him. There are a lot of biblical examples to buttress this reality.
Loose talk: It is a fact that practically all injury that is done to a character, business, home and country etc is done with words. This is what I call the tongue work. We can never underestimate the power of the tongue. According to research, the efficiency of an office task force is reduced sometimes to 50% just by idle, unkind words. When one realizes that his words can be a cursing influence, or a blessing, he will learn to value the gift of speech. Control your tongue or it will control you. There are lots of people who say "Well! I speak my mind" (that is fine only if you have a good mind). Your words may carry fortune in them. Let's learn to be masters of our conversations and not slaves.
Limited thinking: Whenever you tell yourself you can't handle something, the least hope sublimes. Instead of muttering to yourself, "I can't do this; it's too big for me", rather ask yourself "How will I handle this?" or "How should I do this?" Negative self-talk tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Self-discipline is one of the most important features of any life. It is essential to put ourselves on a mental diet. Unless we do that, we'll never develop the forces in us which might have absolute commercial value. Success, victory and achievements are in us. "The exceptional people are those who develop what they have within them" -E. W. Kenyon. There are countless records of how people with pure talents never developed these talents and ended up in wrong states in life or as hermits.
The waterfall is simple and naturally beautiful but it has no commercial value until it is developed. Develop your resources and keep at it. It takes hard work to develop ourselves. A lot of people chase better jobs but lack what it takes to do these jobs. Let's make time to take personal development exercises. Let's train our minds and hands to become the cultivated, trained and as genuine as our creator wants us to become. Let's develop our competence and this will make us confident wherever we go.
"The battle of life is never for the thoughtless, heedless guesser or the idealistic dreamer. It is for the man who works" E. W. Kenyon. Let's proceed right away with this personal development exercise otherwise we would automatically enroll in the short cause of failure.
It is very easy to become a failure. The secret is becoming an idle dreamer - dreaming with no plans and directions. Someone rightly said that to turn your dreams into reality, give your goals plans, and your plans strategies, your strategies directions and then your directions action. Then you will be left with your dreams realized.
It is the one who wills and keeps on willing who wins. As leaders or potential leaders, it is expedient for us to train ourselves by working constantly with determination. We need to have in mind that determination is an essential key and persistence is golden. Winston Churchill said well that mountain tops inspire leaders but the valleys mature them. Let's see ourselves in the valleys of development and keep climbing till we get there - the Top. "The creative mind is always at work" A. Nana Boakye.
Finally, let us all make our brains work at this age. It will sweat but will not die. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Philippians 4:8.
Make it a point to develop yourself to be of commercial value. Have creative moments. There are lots of treasures in you. Bring them out, polish them till their uniqueness stands out. Remember! There are generations pending to be served with what you have within you.


A hunting knife is an invaluable asset for anyone who is in the wilderness and needs to skin and clean game. Hunting without a good knife to transform game into meat is like having a race car without a steering wheel. Without the ability to transform your work and skill into food, your hunting ability goes to waste. A quality hunting knife makes sure that your work is never in vain.

Now that the NFL's rosters have been trimmed down to 53 players, it's time to take a brief review of where OTC's projections for the 2017 compensatory picks stand. This year, there have been very few changes from the update from May, therefore I won't repost the table in this article, and instead direct you to view OTC's main draft page, as well as the cancellation chart. Instead, I'll just quickly review some of the new things to watch out for.
The only change to the list is that Buffalo's 6th round comp pick for Nigel Bradham was demoted to a net-value 7th that falls below the 32-pick limit. This is due to the fact that Lorenzo Alexander, on a 1-year minimum salary benefit deal of $885,000, is now above the new minimum qualification threshold of $870,000 that emerged after this weekend's cutdowns. On the one hand, I expect that threshold to go up again as more players end up on injured reserve and are replaced with new low-level replacement. On the other hand, it appears that due to IK Enemkpali going on IR, and first round rookie Shaq Lawson starting the season on PUP, Alexander is poised to start, and thus receive a high number of snaps that would increase his value in the compensatory formula. Alexander is likely to remain on the qualification bubble throughout the regular season, so there will be continual doubt as to whether Buffalo will receive a compensatory pick or not.
The beneficiary of a demoted Buffalo comp pick would be Arizona, who for now gets its 7th round comp pick for Sean Weatherspoon elevated above the 32-pick limit. Also, with Weatherspoon slated to start for Atlanta, and Antwon Blake not in such a position for Tennessee, it's quite possible that after snap count adjustments Weatherspoon will pass Blake in the order, which could push Pittsburgh's projected 7th round comp pick for Blake outside the 32-pick limit should Buffalo's 6th round comp pick return.
Another possible team to watch out for is New England. After free agency wound down, it first appeared that it was highly unlikely that the Patriots would receive compensatory picks in 2017, as they had only lost two CFAs and signed five. However, Nate Washington, Terrance Knighton, and Markus Kuhn all failed to make the team, bringing them to an even 2/2 difference. The final name to look out for is Clay Harbor, who did make the team. If Harbor were to be cut before Week 10, New England would pick up either a 5th or 6th round comp pick for Akiem Hicks.
San Francisco exposed themselves to a very minor, but still existing, threat to their 4th round comp pick for Alex Boone when they traded for Rod Streater, who signed as a UFA with Kansas City in the offseason. If a team trades for a CFA, that player is added to their list of CFAs gained, and is removed from the team he originally signed with. Originally at a $810,000 salary, of which San Francisco will only be liable for $760,000, it's highly unlikely that Streater would qualify, but if he did, because San Francisco did not lose any other CFAs Streater would have to cancel out Boone.
Seattle has been dramatically reshaping its offensive line, and among the new faces are two CFAs, Bradley Sowell and J'Marcus Webb. However, should the Seahawks change their mind on either of them, cutting each one of them before Week 10 would free up 6th round comp picks for Brandon Mebane and/or Russell Okung.
Some of that also had to do with the fact that we had compensatory picks that we're projected to have next year after what happened in free agency. We'll still potentially have a fourth-round pick next year that's a compensatory pick. We just used it a little bit earlier this year. We didn't actually trade the compensatory pick. We traded our actual draft pick we have in the fourth round next year.
However, I have projected that the Jets will get nothing more than a net-value 7th round comp pick that's below the 32-pick limit. This is because while the Jets did lose Damon Harrison, Chris Ivory, and Demario Davis, who respectively have 4th, 5th & 6th round values, they also signed Matt Forte, Steve McLendon, and Jarvis Jenkins to cancel them out. I cannot say for sure why Maccagnan expressed confidence in receiving 2017 comp picks. One possibility is that he counted Stevan Ridley, Darrin Walls, and Antonio Allen among UFAs that the Jets had lost. But not only did I project that none of them had large enough salaries to qualify, all three of them failed to make the rosters of their new teams. Perhaps Maccagnan knows something about the relevant contracts that I don't, but unless such information becomes known, my projection of the Jets' CFAs lost and gained shall remain.
As we enter the regular season, the final piece of the puzzle will be adjustments for playing time and postseason honors. The list of 2017 compensatory picks will be adjusted weekly with snap count data. You may notice some odd changes after Week 1 due to small sample sizes, but I anticipate that sort of data noise to normalize as the regular season progresses. Once the regular season is over, I will offer my final projection on this set of compensatory picks. In the meantime, you can check with my account on Twitter if there are any major changes that occur to this list from now until January.

In 'Red Hot Design,' Shasta Smith turns scrapheap throwaways into edgy treasures for the home.
August 11, 2014, 12:31 p.m.
For 15 years, designer Shasta Smith has been beautifying homes and workplaces with the junk she finds at salvage yards, transforming castoffs into objects of interest and beauty at her Sacramento, California, workshop and HQ, The Vintage Monkey. Beginning Aug. 11, the flame-haired motorcycle rider brings her unconventional, sustainable aesthetic to the FYI series "Red Hot Design," which follows Smith and her four-man crew as they find solutions to tricky design problems.
In the first of seven episodes, Smith is hired to create a "tiki but not tacky" backyard entertaining space and ample storage for a small living room. In the second, she turns a salvaged motorcycle into a candy cart and bowling pins into a chandelier for a game room and replaces a tattoo parlor's ugly metal security gate with a welded work of art. Later, steel mesh and pipe become lamps, and barbed wire is transformed into wreaths. And that's just the start.
"You will see the up-styling of guitars turned into an outdoor feature, bamboo made into walls, antique Chinese coins used within chandeliers, airplane wing tips for ceiling lighting, steel beams turned into exceptional furniture, a 1954 scrapped Cadillac as wall art, a piano made into a water feature, ammunition surplus containers turned into wine displays," says Smith.
But her favorite project for the series was the unique curtain she created for a theater that was formerly an armory. "I took 7,000 empty bullet shells and strung them 12 feet high to create a stage curtain. I then designed it to be piped for water, with water cascading down it. It looked like shimmering elegance when it was finished, and will be a conversation piece for years," she says. "I like design that has a good story behind it, especially the way I end up finding the material or the connection it has to the client/project, finding items that are destined to end up in a landfill, that I then design and give new life to. Plus they are just plain badass!"
Smith, who has had "a long time love affair with all things vintage," describes her design esthetic as "exceptional eccentric design that is not bound by rules. I take clients' ideas and bring them into focus by introducing them to unconventional ideas, and eccentric concepts, often creating thing from scratch in my shop in conjunction with their renovation. When a client hires me, they rarely do it because they need help picking out a white paint color!"
Her biggest challenge? "The sheer size of the designs I create," Smith responds. "The weight and measurements alone can cause issues. At times I believe I don't know how to design small." What sets her apart from other designers, she believes, is her DIY ingenuity. "If I want a particular feature or element in my design plans, odds are it doesn't exist in a store, so I make it. Function meets fashion! Not to mention, people get a kick out of my overzealous hobby of designing and building vintage motorcycles. As gritty as I get, I do all of this with style and grace."
Smith, who works with clients throughout California and nationally, plans to expand to a second Vintage Monkey location. She advises those who'd like to try unconventional design to "Start small, for example, taking a chandelier and replacing all the crystals with antique skeleton keys. Keep it fun and creative."
She's excited about the opportunity to represent a woman running a successful business in "Red Hot Design." "I want the viewers and clients to see that it can be done with class. The feedback I get from people is 'watching you do this is a breath of fresh air.' It's a great feeling to get messages from women simply saying, 'Thank you, you are an inspiration' and from men saying, 'Keep doing what you are doing!'" she says. "I'm enjoying every minute of this wild ride that is my design life!"

Students' Choice Awards
Bowling enrollment spikes, earns award as best one-credit class
Course allows students physical activity, fun skills to learn
STEPHEN MURNANE | THE DAILY EVERGREEN
Bowling instructor Jacob Herriges speaks about his background in bowling and explains how he came to teach the one credit class on Wednesday at Zeppoz.
ISAAC SEMMLER, Evergreen reporter
WSU offers numerous one-credit courses each semester that are all unique in their own way. However, the one students voted best for on-campus is bowling.
Yes, that's right. You can take bowling at WSU.
It is Instructor Jacob Herriges' first semester teaching. He said he had all of his classes fill up, which is something that hasn't happened in previous bowling courses before.
"I'm honestly kind of shocked to see how many students signed up," Herriges said. "This semester, I have four full classes. When I took it last semester, we just had one or two full classes."
Herriges said it's great to see more people are interested in taking the class. He said the class is a way to get out of the classroom and not only have fun, but become a whole lot better at the sport.
"When they come in against their friends and family members, I don't want their scores to be in the 50s or 60s," he said. "Hopefully by the end of the semester, everyone had a great time and can now bowl in the 110-130 range."
This course is meant to teach you the basics of bowling and improve your game. Whether you're new to bowling or have a lot of experience, this class is for everyone.
Herriges said he has been bowling ever since he could remember and is thrilled to teach and hopefully expand the class.
As a member of the bowling club and someone who has competed professionally, Herriges said he believes he can teach everyone the necessary skills to become a much better bowler.
"I've bowled a couple professional tournaments," Herriges said. "I travel down to Vegas and through the Midwest, and it's just great to be able to pass some bowling skills onto people that want to get better."
Herriges looks forward to future semesters teaching the class and feels honored to receive the award for best one-credit class in the 2019 Student Choice Awards.

Coding theory is the study of properties of codes and how good they are for a use in the real world. Codes are used for data compression (where data is made smaller), cryptography (where data is changed into a form that not everyone can read), and error correction. Codes are studied by different scientific disciplines for designing data transmission methods that are efficient and reliable.

We're not sure what happened when my friend Ron died in a car crash. Did the car malfunction? Did Ron have a stroke or a heart attack? We don't know. It could also be that Ron was drunk or on drugs or even that he crashed on purpose.
If so, it would mean that Ron had sunk into misery again. It would mean that after our small group of believers there stopped meeting, and after his friend Andy died, Ron fell back into old patterns of despair and old methods of coping.
You might say, "Well, if so, then Ron went to hell." Other people might conclude that sanctification is a cruel pipe dream. If sanctification is just a matter of trying and trying but continuing to fail, then what's the point?
But no! Don't buy any of that. Get rid of those thoughts. Sanctification in and through Christ is God's work, by God's power, according to God's vision. We are treasures in God's eyes, even in our worst moments. A gold mine is mostly mud, but the treasure is there. And God doesn't forsake his people, in spite of the mud.
Read the whole book of 1 Corinthians, and notice all the mud. Yet Paul calls the people sanctified brothers and sisters.
This is how God sees it. And this is how God saw it at the moment of Ron's death, no matter the circumstances. In Christ, nothing separates us from the love of God.
Faithful God, according to your love, remember me. Today again I rest in your hands. For Jesus' sake, Amen.


AFTER RALLYING ALMOST NONSTOP for nearly two years, the junk-bond market has had a rude awakening.
First, it took a hit when the Federal Reserve warned of inflation last month. Then General Motors (ticker: GM) warned of a surprising first-quarter loss of $1.5 billion, which might force the rating agencies to slap junk ratings on GM's $301 billion of debt in the near future. More recently, a number of companies have found themselves in special situations that may hurt their credit quality. J.C. Penney (JCP), for instance, is rumored to be the target of leveraged-buyout investors, which would increase its debt load. Penney's junk bonds already have fallen by 19 points, to 96.
All this has only reinforced Michael Lewitt's view that the credit cycle is turning for the worse and that the junk, or high- yield, bond market is overvalued. "You'd be insane to start buying here," says the 47-year-old junk-bond investor. "The adjustment is still in its very early stages."
Lewitt, a portfolio manager at Boca Raton, Fla.-based Harch Capital Management, has watched the junk market's booms and busts since 1987, when he dropped a career as a tax attorney to join Drexel Burnham Lambert as an investment banker. When the doors of the House of Milken closed, Lewitt teamed up with fellow Drexel alum Joseph Harch and moved from Los Angeles to Florida to form Harch Capital in 1991. The highly regarded Harch, 51, headed Drexel's junk sales and syndicate in 1988-1990.
"There were three people who Michael Milken told me to get to know when I joined Drexel, and one of them was Joe," says David Feinman, now a managing director at Havens Advisors, a hedge-fund firm. "He has one of the best credit minds on the street."
Harch Capital, with four seasoned professionals, has generally had $500 million to $1 billion under management. And its returns have often sparkled. A proprietary trading account had annualized returns of 40% from 1995 through 2004. A separate cash-management account, investing in short-maturity bonds, returned 8.8% annually from 1994 through 1998.
Lewitt's concern about the junk-bond market began last year -- a bit early but right on the mark if recent price action persists. Junk-bond spreads -- the difference between their yields and those of risk-free Treasuries-tell the story. The spreads fell to near-historic lows over the past two years, reflecting heavy demand as investors hunted for yield. But the spreads, as measured by the JPMorgan High Yield Index, have widened about half a percentage point over the past month, to 3.6 percentage points, as prices have taken hits. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Lewitt suggests the spread widening still has considerably further to go.
"Anything less than a 5.50 [percentage point spread on single-B-rated debt] doesn't compensate you for the equity-like risk involved," warns Lewitt.
Signs of overheating have also been evident in new-issue market. Sixteen percent of the junk bonds sold in January and February were rated triple-C-plus or lower, up from 6% in 2003 and 2% in 2002. That's alarming because such bonds have a 29% chance of defaulting within the first year of issuance and a 48% chance of defaulting within five years of issuance, according to Diane Vazza, head of global fixed income at Standard & Poor's. Triple-C credits are the lower tier of junk, which are bonds rated double-B-plus or lower.
The deterioration of new issues' credit quality implies that the junk-bond default rate, currently at 1.96%, should climb as the new bonds age over the next few years. After reaching an all-time low of 1.3% in 1997, the default rate climbed to a peak of 10.75% in 2002.
Lewitt suggests avoiding lower-rated junk debt. One-third of the HCM Second Hegemony Fund, a $10 million hedge fund, is in short positions in single-B and triple-C rated bonds, or bets that their prices will decline. The rest is long positions in bank loans sold to investors.
That strategy, also used in several individually managed accounts at the firm, should produce 6% returns if the economy changes little. And if the junk market falls further, returns should be substantially boosted by the short sales.
Lewitt's short position includes a bet against triple-C-rated bonds of Granite Broadcasting, which owns U.S. television stations. To Lewitt, it doesn't make sense that its 9¾% debt due in 2010 trades at 94, since Granite has negative cash flow, operating losses and a hefty debt load. Its shares trade at 32 cents.
Lewitt is also betting against some bonds of broadband-provider Knology . He's shorting the unrated 12% senior notes due 2009, which trade at 94½, because he questions the company's strategy -- building cable systems in towns that already have a cable provider. "This company is hopelessly losing money," he says. It had an operating loss of $42.6 million in 2004, and Lewitt expects a cash crunch this year.
Another disconcerting development: Numerous junk bonds have been sold in the past year or so to pay a dividend to a company's equity holders, which often is a leveraged buyout firm. For example, Cypress Merchant Banking Partners bought Communications & Power Industries for about $300 million in January 2004 using $200 million of debt and $100 million of equity. But Cypress has little economic interest left in the company because in February the tech firm's parent, CPI Holdco, sold $80 million of notes and used about $75 million of the proceeds to pay a dividend to Cypress and a handful of company executives.
"A sure sign of the top in a market is guys are cashing out. It's no different than insiders selling stock," says Lewitt.
So how did the junk bond market become so overextended? Much of the blame lies at the door of the Fed, which kept interest rates too low for too long, Lewitt opines. By doing so, the Fed allowed investors to borrow money inexpensively and leverage portfolios. Historically, low rates have prompted investors to reach for yield, making them willing buyers of triple-C debt.
Excess liquidity encouraged record junk-bond issuance: $140.8 billion in 2004, topping 1998's record of $138 billion, according to Thomson Financial. The search for yield allowed financially strapped companies to raise cash and live another day. Think Qwest Communications International , Calpine and Level 3 Communications .
Junk yields were also depressed by hedge funds, which often enter complex trades not based on bonds' intrinsic worth. For example, a hedge fund might buy a junk bond and short the company's stock or sell derivatives that offer credit protection. The bond's yield becomes less important than the trade's overall return.
Hedge funds are also active in credit- default swaps, contracts where one investor pays a periodic fee to an investor who agrees to make a payout if a default occurs. Originally, these were used as insurance to protect bond positions. But now the credit derivatives market is so big -- growing by more than 50% in just the second half of 2004 -- that many investors simply buy the contracts rather than bonds.
The large credit-default market hasn't been tested by a market blowup. "HCM believes that the proliferation of credit-default swaps, much like the spread of nuclear arms, is one component of an environment of mutually assured destruction that is leading the Federal Reserve to broadcast its every move to insure that a nuclear financial accident is avoided at all costs," writes Lewitt in a monthly newsletter.
Put it all together and you have a bubble no less overblown than the stock market's of 1998 to 2000, Lewitt maintains. And we all know how that ended.
The high-yield bond market faces risks akin to stocks in 2000, says a top market pro.

Q: Username and Password fields automatically filled with phpMyAdmin credentials I am facing something weird, the moment i hit my login page having a simple code in html with two input fields (username and password) shows automatically the credentials of phpMyAdmin. Here is my code..

Q: CustomMessage tag content not being displayed in IntelliJ I'm trying to use the RegexChecker, along with a custom error message, in IntelliJ. I've defined my check similarly to this in scalastyle_config.xml:
 <check level="warning" class="org.scalastyle.file.RegexChecker" enabled="true">
  <parameters>
   <parameter name="regex">hello</parameter>
  </parameters>
  <customMessage>Code should not contain "hello"</customMessage>
 </check>

When adding "hello" to a file, I get the following message in IntelliJ:
Regular expression matched "hello"
But what I really want is for the contents of customMessage to be displayed. Is there some setting that I'm missing?


Dreaming of red may also mean that you are accident prone, some emergency has taken place in your life, or that you should balance out your passions with safety.
If you are dreaming of a red physical attribute, such as your heart or blood, then you are probably currently involved in something exciting and impulsive. However, if you feel angry, frustrated, or hot in your dream, then it may mean that you are in need of more love and stimulation during your waking hours.
