Welcome to Penned Without Ink, a blog about story.
Everyone has a story. A unique one-of-a kind story. Penned without ink, your story and mine resemble a book in process. The people with whom we rub shoulders read our stories every day as they observe our behavior and interact with us.
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts (2 Corinthians 3:2, 3).
The lives of these Corinthians spoke transformation from the inside out. Formerly worshipers of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, they embraced faith in Christ alone for salvation. Their penned-without-ink-stories caught the attention of their families, friends, and neighbors who could "read" the difference. No letter of commendation could top the credibility of the gospel when revolutionized lives were "known and read" in the marketplace, at home, and in their worship.
I want this same transformation to make a difference in my story. Every day. Lately, I've been thinking about what J. I. Packer wrote in his book Your Father Loves You. "God . . . guides our minds as we think things out in His presence." It seems to me this is a vital link in the process of inviting God to author our life-stories.
Posts on Penned Without Ink will feature stories, books, poetry, and responses to what God impresses on the pages of my story. I hope you'll join me as the plot progresses. Together, may we grow in our trust in the Master-Writer.
Special thanks to my daughter who spent hours patiently clicking away with me to set up Penned Without Ink. Love you, Jana.
I'm so looking forward to reading along as this story unfolds!
Sarah, "The Epistle" is wonderful! What a thought-provoking word-picture of our lives as living letters. Your work is fluid and eloquent, and I look forward to reading more! Thanks so much.
I love the design of your blog, and your first post is thought provoking. Thanks for including a link to my blog.
We love the name of your blog and look forward to reading it all! Much love.

[![Travis Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nosinovacao/name-registry-api.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/nosinovacao/name-registry-api)
[![AppVeyor Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/urejv3w2ir1l8rkh/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nosinovacao/name-registry-api/branch/master)

NAME Registry is the service designed to provide Central Registration for applications running the NAME SDK. It fully implements the [Central Registration protocol](https://github.com/nosinovacao/name-sdk/wiki/Central-Registration).

Its goal is to provide users with information regarding the lifecycle of services and its dependencies in a queriable, machine-friendly way.

The Registry API keeps the services in three fundamental entities:

* **Registered Service:** Unique representation of an application in a specific machine and version. This is kept across service restarts.
* **Service Session:** Represents the state of a service since it was started. E.g. when a service restarts a new session is created.
* **Manifest Snapshot:** Represents the manifest of a service session at a certain time.

### Main Features
* Zero dependencies
* Services storage
* Service lifecycle information
* Manifest snapshots
* Cross-platform
* Query APIs

You can use our [existing Web UI solution](https://github.com/nosinovacao/name-registry-ui) to access the data in a human-friendly way.

## Getting Started
### Running on docker
The Registry API is provided as a docker image, to spin up a container listening on the port 80 use the following command.
```bash
docker run -d -p 80:5000 nosinovacao/name-registry-api
```

Since the API uses [LiteDB](http://www.litedb.org/) to keep state, when the container is deleted the data will be lost, to keep the data consider mapping the database file in a volume.
```bash
docker run -d \
    -e "ConnectionStrings:RegistryLiteDB=/data/db/name-registry-api/Registry.db" \
    -v /data/name-registry-api/db/:/data/name-registry-api/db/ \
    -p 80:5000 \
    nosinovacao/name-registry-api
```

The environment variable `ConnectionStrings:RegistryLiteDB` sets the path of the database file.

## Building and testing
We define our build using [Cake](https://github.com/cake-build/cake/), this allows us to define a common ground for developers on different operating systems, but it requires .Net 4.5 or Mono 4.2.3, so make sure you have those dependencies setup.

Bootstrap scripts are provided for both Windows and Linux environments.

To build and run unit tests on Windows execute the command:

```cmd
powershell ./build.ps1
```

To build and run unit tests on Linux execute the command:

```bash
./build.sh
```

## Contributing
We really appreciate your interest in contributing to the NAME Registry API. 👍

All we ask is that you follow some simple guidelines, so please read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on our code of conduct, and the process for submitting pull requests.

Thank you, [contributors](https://github.com/nosinovacao/name-registry-api/graphs/contributors)!

Zhang Daoling became the first Celestial Master and founder of the first organized Taoist school of thought.
Who was the founder or leader of Daoism?
The founding figure is Laozi, who flourished in the 6th century BCE but about whom little else is known. The Daodejing ("Classic of the Way to Power"), the earliest work of Daoist philosophy, is traditionally attributed to him but was probably composed after his death by many authors.
Who leads Taoism today?
He lived from 1904 to 1969. Chang Tao -ch'en: Chang Tao -ch'en is the current, 64th Celestial Master of Orthodox Unity Taoism, though several other people (all surnamed Chang) claim to be the rightful heir to the title. He was born around 1967.

Do Taoists believe in an afterlife?
Taoism places great value in life. It does not focus on life after death, but on health and longevity by living a simple life and having inner peace. It is said that the human body is filled with spirits, gods, or demons.

It's been a while since my last Jordan update, so here's something from one of the coolest and most chilled out days we spent in the country. Our fourth day was spent in Aqaba. After previously getting wowed by the light show at Petra by night and after sleeping under the starry skies in Wadi Rum (more on that later!), we had a day of leisure planned in Aqaba which is the only coastal city and a port in Jordan. When I read the itinerary, I merely thought a cute little boat ride meant a chance for me to relax and unwind and sip on something chilled.
Since I'm not a geographical expert (even though I'd love to be one), I was unaware of how the Gulf of Aqaba merged into the Red Sea. So it was pretty exciting to wander off into the Red Sea and of course, our expert boat navigator who also cooked us an amazing meal and doubled up into our lifeguard when we anchored, encouraged us to go snorkeling to view the famous Red Sea corals that were round 30-40 metres away from where we anchored. The only catch, we were going to have no life jackets. I've never swam in open sea before, and this was an exciting offer I definitely could not resist.
But not so much, because after my failed swim, I decided lounging around on the boat was good enough for me. Soon, we were treated to grill fish and chicken that was prepared right there in the middle of the sea. Quite an amazing moment. Not to mention the cellular network and connectivity on my local sim was so good, that I actually managed a Facebook video call to my family where I made them envious of the gorgeous views around me.
Soon after out little cruise, we were checking into Movenpick Aqaba, which has some amazing decor that will leave you in complete awe, we had some down time where I decided to edit some pictures (because Instagram!) but my room was blessed with such an amazing view of the sea that beckoned to me, that I almost forgot I spent half the day swimming and already swallowing sea water. So I headed out for a swim again. This time I was faced with a dilemma. I could either go soak in the sea or to one of Movenpick's many pools. Surprisingly, the pool won, because someone texted me and told me there was a hot tub. Not to mention, the pool was partly shaded and I really needed some of that. So I hung out with a few friends and made a few others in the hot tub (not as awkward as it sounds) and had nice evening.
After I was done shriveling up like a prune, it was time to get ready and head to a fancy dinner. The Royal Yacht Club is not only a top choice in Aqaba (and featured in Lonely Planet) but it also overlooks the pier, has a distant view of Israel and serves Italian and Mediterranean food. It's safe to say, we ate the night away. And we weren't done there of course. As we walked the short distance back to Movenpick, some decided to drift towards the marketplace in search of spices and a few others to take pictures. I decided to look for alcohol and that's where I came across Jordanian Araq (which is really strong) which was pretty different to what I usually drink. I'd recommend a shot of it especially if you're a fan of anise. I ended up picking a couple of bottles that I stashed into my checked in luggage, because why not?
Again, one day was not enough, but was a great preview of what the city has to offer. Aqaba was not as conservative as I thought it would be, I packed full coverage swimsuit but I saw a lot of local women, and women from neighbouring countries, all in bikinis. The people were really friendly; I mean I did manage to make friends in the hot tub and even had a random stranger advice me on which Jordanian wine was better. So it was definitely a really great and eventful day!
Great post and the way of sharing your moments really inspiring...a best visiting place ever..


When Zuffa purchased Strikeforce a few weeks ago, one of the biggest questions that continued to come up was the future of women's MMA. It's no secret UFC president Dana White has never been a huge fan of women's fighting, and with him now in control of the future of Strikeforce, many people were concerned for the direction of women's MMA in the promotion.
White has said time and time again Strikeforce will be run 'business as usual' and that CEO Scott Coker has the final call when it comes to women's MMA in that promotion.
Strikeforce hasn't really skipped a beat, but there has already been some Zuffa influence. Specifically, there have already been some changes in the PR department and some influence over production. While the future is always uncertain to some extent, Coker has reiterated that both Strikeforce and their television partner at Showtime are committed to women's MMA for the long haul.
Ratings are a key point to women's MMA. The fight in 2009 between Gina Carano and Cris "Cyborg" Santos pulled in some of the largest ratings in Strikeforce history, falling only behind Herschel Walker's debut and Fedor Emelianenko's fight with Fabricio Werdum.
The biggest surprise to some MMA loyalists might be the recent news revealed by Coker regarding the fights in March on Showtime featuring Dan Henderson vs. Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante, and Marloes Coenen vs. Liz Carmouche.
The ratings overall for the card were down from recent Strikeforce shows with the average viewers coming in around 412,000, but still for a women's title fight to outdraw a title bout involving an MMA mainstay like Dan Henderson still speaks to the volume of growth in women's MMA.
The concern about the future of women's MMA resonates amongst the fighters as well. Top 135-pound contender Miesha Tate took the news of Zuffa purchasing Strikeforce as a bad sign to the future of her career and women's MMA as a whole, but she believes UFC president Dana White's opinion could turn like so many have before him.
"People can change, people's opinions can change, their minds can open up, and I mean that's already happened a tremendous amount when you think of how far MMA has come as a whole and particularly how far women's MMA has come. I'm hoping this could be a really good thing for the women as well because maybe Dana will give it a second though finally," Tate told MMAWeekly.com recently.
Women's fights have become a big part of Strikeforce and with the return of Gina Carano touted for the June 18 card, it's undoubtedly going to get another surge forward.
Of course there are always uncertainties, but it appears for now Strikeforce, along with Showtime, are behind women's MMA and hope to see it grow.

Empower Peace: My Grounding Purpose
My Grounding Purpose is to empower peace on Earth.
That's the short version. I've said there's a longer version. It begins with me clarifying that the way I repeat my purpose to myself is actually with these words: to empower shalom on Earth.
"Shalom" is the Hebrew word for peace, but it means much more than the end of hostilities between warring peoples. After all, the hostilities can cease but there might still be no real peace. We are all too aware of this after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Shalom is a holistic peace, referring to wellbeing of body, mind, and spirit. The word encompasses nuances of harmony, wholeness, completeness, and tranquility, as well as the prosperity which comes when everyone has what they need to live.
Shalom and its Arabic counterpart, salaam, are used as both "hello" and "goodbye" greetings in many parts of the world. I learned to say salaam aleikum to my Muslim neighbors and colleagues during my time in Bangladesh. My first time saying the phrase was awkward, but it became more and more significant to me. I was in Bangladesh as a Peace Corps Volunteer, after all! How appropriate to be greeting the people around me with "Peace be with you."
My favorite vision of this kind of peace comes from the Bible. In Isaiah 11:1-9, the prophet offers a poetic description of what's often been called "The Peaceable Kingdom." My favorite verses are those which captured my imagination as a child, when I heard them at church:
"The wolf shall live with the lamb,
the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
the calf and the lion and the fatling together,
and a little child shall lead them."
I love this imagery because it joins together what Western-influenced thinkers have so often separated after the Enlightenment: the human and the natural world. The wolf or leopard, the lamb or calf, are reconciled somehow from their predator and prey relationship to new harmony. And the "little child," the vulnerable human being, becomes a wise leader to empower and facilitate this harmonious peace.
The little child, for Isaiah, was the leader who would return the Jews in exile to their homeland. Christians have seen in these prophetic words the leadership of Jesus. But I believe that human beings were made to be in this kind of relationship with the rest of Earth's creatures, using Spirit-given wisdom to facilitate a reality of harmony between all beings on the planet.
I've been drawn toward this purpose from my birth, but it's taken me a long time and a lot of spiritual support to hear, accept, and have courage to commit to embodying this purpose in everything I do.
Now that my purpose is clear to me, I can return to it again and again throughout the day to reorient my energy and action. It is a source of resilience and direction for me, day after day.
What is your Grounding Purpose?

It doesn't take long under communism before pie-in-the-sky fantasies about classlessness turn into tyrannical rule by party elites, bogus elections, collapsing economies, and then repression and escalating state violence.
In what was once Latin America's richest country with the highest GDP per capita and the world's largest proven reserves of oil, Venezuela today — after nearly two decades of blundering rule since 1999 by the collectivist regimes of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro — is in a catastrophic meltdown that's cut the GDP in half and produced an economy that's incapable of delivering adequate supplies of food, safe drinking water, electricity and medicine.
The socialist promise of economic equality and guaranteed health care that was propagated by Chavez and Maduro didn't make its way into the reality of the streets.
"Here in the Caribbean port town of Barcelona, two premature infants died recently on the way to the main public clinic because the ambulance had no oxygen tanks," reported Casey. "The hospital has no fully functioning X-ray or kidney dialysis machines because they broke long ago. And because there are no open beds, some patients lie on the floor in pools of their blood.
"It is a battlefield clinic where there is no war," Casey wrote.

Experimental approaches are widely considered as the main source of information for predicting the physical behavior of fluids. However, due to the complexities in fluid behavior, especially in the case of multi-physical flows where the time and length scales vary significantly, experimental means become either extremely expensive or in some cases impossible. Under these constraints, scrutinizing physical phenomenon seems to be possible only when alternative tools are available, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
This Research Topic welcomes the comparisons of conventional CFD techniques such as Finite Difference (FDM), Finite volume (FVM) and Finite Element (FEM) simulations of complex flows to elaborate on their differences, similarities, advantages and drawbacks. The development and validation of less established, novel numerical methodologies such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Discrete Element (DEM), Moving Particle semi-Implicit (MPS) and Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) methods also fall within the scope of this Research Topic.

Q: Trying to do an output while a choice from each listbox is selected I am trying to do 1 of 3 options when selecting from 2 different listboxes with the same measurement words.
The user enters a number into a textbox, then selects one of 3 units in the FromList listbox (the units are Inches, Feet, and Yards), then selects one of 3 units in the ToList listbox (the units in this are also Inches, Feet, and Yards).
When the calculate button is clicked it will either convert the measurement inches to inches (Do no math and just spit out what they entered to the label) or inches to feet or inches to yards if the FromList has Inches selected, and display the output to a label. It would also do feet to inches, feet to feet(do no math), and feet to yards. Lastly, it would do yards to inches, yards to feet, and yards to yards (do no math).
Both listboxes have SelectionMode set to One so user can only pick 1 item from each listbox. I can set the first listbox to a value with SelectedItem, but the 9 errors in the code it is highlighting is if I try to set it if an item in the 2nd listbox is selected.  Here's what I've tried so far:
    public frmConverter()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    private void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.Close();
    }

    private void btnClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        txtEntered.Text = "";
        lblOutput.Text = "";
    }

    private void btnCalc_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string Fromlist;
        string ToList;
        double Entered, Output;

        Entered = Convert.ToDouble(txtEntered.Text);

        if (FromList == "Inches" && ToList == "Inches")
        {
            lblOutput.Text = txtEntered.Text + " Inches";
        }
        else if (FromList == "Inches" && ToList =="Feet")
        {
            Output = Entered / 12;
            lblOutput.Text = Output.ToString("N2") + (" Feet");
        }
        else if (FromList == "Inches" && ToList == "Yards")
        {
            Output = Entered / 36;
            lblOutput.Text = Output.ToString("N2") + (" Yards");
        }
        else if (FromList == "Feet" && ToList == "Inches")
        {
            Output = Entered * 12;
            lblOutput.Text = Output.ToString("N2") + (" Inches");
        }
        else if (FromList == "Feet" && ToList == "Feet")
        {
            lblOutput.Text = txtEntered.Text + " Feet";
        }
        else if (FromList == "Feet" && ToList == "Yards")
        {
            Output = Entered / 3;
            lblOutput.Text = Output.ToString("N2") + (" Yards");
        }
        else if (FromList == "Yards" && ToList == "Inches")
        {
            Output = Entered * 36;
            lblOutput.Text = Output.ToString("N2") + (" Inches");
        }
        else if (FromList == "Yards" && ToList == "Feet")
        {
            Output = Entered * 12;
            lblOutput.Text = Output.ToString("N2") + (" Feet");
        }
        else if (FromList == "Yards" && ToList == "Yards")
        {
            lblOutput.Text = txtEntered + " Yards";
        }
    }
}

A: One of your problems is you're using the assignment operator,=, instead of the equality operator,==, in your if statements.
if (FromList.SelectedItem.ToString() == "Inches" && ToList.SelectedItem.ToString() == "Inches")
{
    lblOutput.Text = txtEntered.Text + " Inches";
}

Also Entered is never given a value.
Something you might want to consider, is using an enum to simplify your code and get rid of all those if statements:
    enum Conversions
    {
        Inches = 1,
        Feet = 12,
        Yards = 36,
    }
    double DoConversion(string from, string to, double quantity)
    {
        Conversions convertFrom = Conversions.Inches;
        Conversions convertTo = Conversions.Inches;
        if (Enum.TryParse<Conversions>(from, out convertFrom) && Enum.TryParse<Conversions>(to, out convertTo))
        {
            return quantity * ((double)convertFrom / (double)convertTo);
        }
        else
        {
            return 0;
        }

    }

This function takes the From/To units as strings and a double for the quantity and does the conversion.  Instead of different algorithms for multiplying or dividing, it just multiplies by the division of the 2 conversion values

A: The issue is you have taken FromList and ToList as string and you are trying to polulate SelectedItem propert from FromList/ToList but there is no such property exists in FromList/ToList as you have taken them as string in your code. May be you required to use your Listcontrols defined in desigining rather than taking string objects in code.
private void btnCalc_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string Fromlist; // this is string so will not work for you
        string ToList;  // this is string so will not work for you
        string Inches;
        string Feet;
        string Yards;
        double Entered, Output;
//as FromList and ToList are string defined above below logic will not work as there is no property like SelectedItem in string.
 if (FromList.SelectedItem = "Inches" && ToList.SelectedItem = "Inches")
        {
}

A: Ok, so I recoded it using switch and parse and it works as intended now. Thanks for everyone's help!Here is the working code :
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    private void btnClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        txtEntered.Text = "";
        lblOutput.Text = "";
    }
    private void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.Close();
    }
    private void btnCalc_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        string From;
        string To;
        double Entered, Output;

        Entered = double.Parse(txtEntered.Text);

        if (FromList.SelectedIndex != -1)
        {
            From = FromList.SelectedItem.ToString();
            To = ToList.SelectedItem.ToString();
            switch (From)
            {

Brentford boss Dean Smith gives update on transfer hunt
The club are keen to bring in replacements for Toumani Diagouraga and Jota in the final week of the transfer window
Brentford boss Dean Smith
Brentford are looking to bring in a midfielder and a winger before the January transfer window closes.
The Bees have allowed wideman Jota to return to Eibar on loan in order to help the Spaniard overcome personal issues; the popular 24-year-old penned an emotional 'see you later' message to supporters.
The club also sold holding midfielder Toumani Diagouraga to Leeds United, who Brentford face at Griffin Park tonight with the Frenchman expecting it to be the hardest game of his career.
And Brentford are keen to bring in replacements for the pair in the final week of the transfer window.
Head coach Dean Smith said: "We're looking at bringing in players. I said it wouldn't be before Tuesday but, before the window closes, we're keen to bring people in.
"I'm looking to be a couple in still – a midfielder and a winger. We've got two young lads on loan there. We're looking to strengthen that area and a midfielder as well."
2016 January Transfer Window
Will close in
He added: "We've been in talks. We lost out on George Evans and we're talking to others and talks can be pretty slow until you get closer to the deadline and they get rushed through very quickly.
"We would be looking for permanent deals to strengthen the squad. If anything else happened, we'd be looking at loans."
Jamie Paterson has been linked with a move to Griffin Park over the past few days.
Smith worked with the 24-year-old at Walsall, first during his role in charge of the youth team then as manager.
Paterson moved to Nottingham Forest in July 2013 for an undisclosed fee and scored a hat-trick against West Ham in the FA Cup.
However, he has now been loaned out to Huddersfield on a season long loan with a view to a permanent deal with the Terriers and may be seen as an early summer transfer given the fact he represented the Tricky Trees before his departure.
Rumoured target: Jamie Paterson
Brentford, though, are reported to be keen on signing the 24-year-old, although Smith played down those rumours.
He added: "Jamie Paterson is a kid I had in the youth team at Walsall. He's at Nottingham Forest on loan at Huddersfield.
"I don't know anymore than that. He's a player I like but he's not my player. It's not one I'm pursuing at the moment."
Smith is hopeful that his squad won't be further weakened by departures and believes what he has at his disposal can be competitive in the Championship.
He explained: "I hope the squad won't be weaker but I can't see what's happening. The squad we've got is competitive in this league."
Were another player to depart though, Brentford would look to bring in further reinforcements in that area.

The Sarasota Orchestra Youth Program consists of seven orchestras, affording students the opportunity to participate in an ensemble comparable to their skill level.
Students audition each year for a position in one of these orchestras. Each ensemble rehearses weekly, from September to April in the Beatrice Friedman Symphony Center at 709 North Tamiami Trail in Sarasota.
A full orchestra ensemble consisting of middle and high school students with more than 3 years of experience and the maturity to participate in a full orchestra. All students demonstrate solid technique. String students are developing extended positions. Repertoire includes many standard masterworks expertly arranged for educational ensembles, as well as many original compositions and popular music straight from the movies. Basic technique and artistic vocabulary is reinforced during sectional rehearsals with professional coaches who are among the finest performers and teachers in the area. Youth Symphony provides an opportunity to continue developing the ensemble skills needed to advance to standard symphonic literature.
Made up of talented wind and percussion students with 1 to 3 years of experience. Rehearsals concentrate on performance standards, tone production, precision, musicality, individual and group style, and practice habits. Similar to a weekly honor band, this ensemble provides experience with literature, preparation, and performance that the students can take to their own band programs and exposes students to literature that they may not play in their school programs.
Designed for intermediate to advanced string students with 3 or more years of experience. This ensemble focuses on cross-listening between sections, blend and balance, expressing various styles of music, and pursuing detailed, mature music making. Members demonstrate advanced shifting and bowing technique and are introduced to challenging string literature.
Composed of students who have progressed to the intermediate level of performance on their instrument. Students will solidify and further develop the first and third positions through performance of repertoire. Having mastered the basic skills level (generally after three years of instruction), the focus is on developing proper tone quality, mastering bow techniques, refining ensemble skills, and the exploration of different musical style periods.
Designed for students who have had some orchestral experience (2 to 3 years) and who are confident in their bow and left hand technique. Students should be comfortable playing in first position and will have already started exploring third position. This ensemble builds solid orchestral skills including ear training and continued sight-reading abilities. The ensemble continues to develop rhythmic confidence.
Designed for students who have had limited orchestral experience (2 to 3 years) and who are working on mastering their reading ability. All students should have basic note-reading skills, including the ability to identify pitch names and play various rhythms using whole, half, quarter and eighth notes. Students should be comfortable playing in first position the keys of G and D. This ensemble builds solid, fundamental rhythmic and orchestral skills including improved sight-reading abilities, expanding first position and starting third position.
Designed to introduce string students to the fundamentals of ensemble playing. Students must have 1 year of experience or completed our Summer Music Camp. All students are beginning note readers and can demonstrate a good foundation in playing technique. The emphasis in rehearsal will be establishing good posture, technique, sound production, rehearsal discipline, rhythmic and note reading skills as well as understanding harmony in ensemble music.

Ash Center Introduces 2018-19 Technology and Democracy Fellows
Cambridge, MA – The Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School is pleased to announce its newest cohort of Technology and Democracy Fellows— six technology and digital leaders from around the country committed to improving the health of American democracy. This year's fellows have demonstrated a deep passion for using technology to strengthen our democracy through citizen engagement, social empowerment, and government transparency and accessibility.
Beginning August 2018, the Ash Center welcomes as Technology and Democracy Fellows:
Deepti Doshi, Community Partnerships Director, Facebook
Zach Graves, Head of Policy, Lincoln Network
Sofia Gross, Political & Non-Profit Partnerships, Public Policy, Snap Inc.
Victoria McCullough, Social Impact and Public Policy, Tumblr
Devin Murphy, Digital Strategist, Priorities USA and Founder, DTM Strategies
Jess Morales Rocketto, Political Director, National Domestic Workers Alliance
Under the direction of Archon Fung, Winthrop Laflin McCormack Professor of Citizenship and Self-Government at Harvard Kennedy School, the Technology and Democracy Fellowship and affiliated workshop series is designed to build connections between Kennedy School students and the worlds of technology, policy, and government. During the course of the academic year, fellows will undertake a number of projects. Previous projects have included research on the role of artificial intelligence in government, the development of cutting-edge tools to increase open data literacy and usage, and the creation of a digital toolkit to allow local election officials to better distribute nonpartisan election information in their communities.
Technology and Democracy Fellows also design and lead a series of hands-on workshops for Harvard Kennedy School students on a broad range of technological skills and concepts. Through participation in the workshops, students gain a deeper understanding, for example, of how to effectively utilize telecommunication APIs to connect with constituents, employ design thinking for technology and public policy, quickly build and maintain a website, and track data about key communities.
Harvard Kennedy School students interested in attending a Technology and Democracy workshop are encouraged to signup for the Ash Center's "Technology and Democracy" mailing list and contact Teresa Acuña, Associate Director of the Ash Center's Democratic Governance program, Teresa_Acuna@hks.harvard.edu, to ensure they receive notifications about upcoming events.

The 1971 New York Jets season was the twelfth season for the team and the second in the National Football League. It began with the team trying to improve upon its 4–10 record from 1970 under head coach Weeb Ewbank.

Disaster struck before the regular season started and the Jets finished 6–8. Joe Namath was injured in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions and required knee surgery, All-Pro WR George Sauer unexpectedly retired at the peak of his career, and All-Pro defensive end Verlon Biggs exercised his option and signed with the Washington Redskins.

After missing nineteen consecutive Jets games in 1970 and 1971, Namath returned to action against the San Francisco 49ers in the third quarter (November 28, 1971) and threw for 258 yards and three touchdowns, but was intercepted by Johnny Fuller in the end zone on the final play of a 24–21 loss. He then started the final three games, and the Jets won the last two after suffering a 52–10 loss in a nationally televised game to the eventual Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys.

Franz Karl Remmel (n. 5 septembrie 1931, Periam, județul Timiș-Torontal (interbelic) - d. 7 mai 2019, Timișoara) a fost un etnolog, jurnalist și scriitor de limba germană din România.

Franz Karl Remmel s-a născut ca fiu al proprietarului de joagăr și comerciantului de lemne Franz Remmel și al soției acestuia Anna Antonia, născută Jochmann.

După naționalizarea întreprinderii părintești, familia s-a mutat în Transilvania.

Franz Remmel a studiat pedagogia și jurnalistica. După absolvire a lucrat întâi ca profesor, până în 1966, și apoi a fost corespondent din Hunedoara a ziarului de limbă germană Neuer Weg.

Debutul literar în 1978 prin publicarea cărții Über alle sieben Meere ("Călătorind peste șapte mări", carte bazată pe jurnalul de călătorie al lui Franz Binder) la Editura Albatros din București.

După anul 1990 a început să fie preocupat de situația și istoria țiganilor din România, scriind mai multe cărți pe această temă, unele cu sprijinul fundației Friedrich Ebert și al Departamentului Pentru Relații Interetnice din București.

În data de 7 martie 2007, la Hunedoara, ambasadorul Republicii Austria, Dr. Christian Zeileissen, i-a înmânat lui Franz Remmel distincția die Goldene Verdienstnadel der Republik Österreich (Medalia pentru merit, de aur, a Republicii Austria) pentru activitatea sa meritorie de expert în problemele romilor. Ambasadorul a declarat că, în calitate de redactor la Allgemeine Deutsche Zeitung für Rumänien Franz Remmel a reușit ca prin cărți și conferințe să ilustreze viața țiganilor și, prin aceasta, să înlăture unele din clișeele și prejudecățile încetățenite.

After a 36 hour roadtrip with lots of life lessons along the way, we've made it to our new home in Las Vegas, Nevada!
October will be filled with NEW BEGINNINGS and learning our way around – but that challenge can only change us for the good, right?
Gary and I have been together for over 5 years. Right out of the gate, he knew I loved to travel. That has always been the one part of our lives where we 'splurge' … we're not THINGS people, but EXPERIENCES PEOPLE.
Movers came on September 19, and we started our trek to Las Vegas on September 28… Jaeden, Gary, myself, and our friend Lex!
We stopped in Monroe, LA on Day 1 and then in Albuquerque, NM Day 2 … we were ready to get to our new home! Luckily our friend Lex was along for the drive and was my workout partner EVERY morning – NO EXCUSES, right?
Gary and I have wanted to relocate for quite some time now. We wanted to live somewhere to explore new surroundings, be outside more for hiking and new trails…Vegas was also within a price range where we could rent somewhere and try living out on the West coast. Initially we thought Austin, TX but that area soon outgrew itself and we decided to follow our intuition with the Vegas steps lining up perfectly for each of us!
How has a BIG MOVE changed your life for the better?
From Portion Control to Margaritas, The Gramercy Delivers!
Congrats on taking the risk and making the big move! I'm not a huge risk taker whatsoever, so the idea of just picking up and moving to an unknown place is completely scary to me. But yay for rediscovering your love for running again!
So glad you are loving your new home!
So happy for you two! It sounds like you are loving your new home!!!

BOSLIT
Bibliography of Scottish Literature in Translation
The Bibliography of Scottish Literature in Translation (BOSLIT) was a collaborative online resource hosted by the National Library of Scotland. From October 2018, that service has ceased.
We have retained BOSLIT as a dataset, and it is available in MARC XML format at https://data.nls.uk/.
Background to BOSLIT
With the assistance of the Scottish Arts Council, BOSLIT was set up in 1994 by the University of Edinburgh and the National Library of Scotland.
It identified and created records for translations of Scottish literary works and brought them online together in a central database.
The BOSLIT database was administered jointly the University and the Library. Work was overseen by an Advisory Committee, comprising academics, writers, poets, librarians, literature administrators, and teachers from different areas of Scotland.

Interim Executives: Easing A Community Hospital's Transition

Home > News > Interim Executives: Easing A Community Hospital's Transition
By Laurie Breedlove, SVP Human Resources November 6, 2020 Operational Improvement, Hospital Management
Managing organizational change presents extraordinary challenges, particularly when the change involves replacing a chief executive officer following their departure. For smaller community hospitals in transition, interim leaders can help fill this gap. An interim executive may be someone close to retirement, a leader seeking a different work-life balance, or an experienced, skilled executive unable to relocate for a permanent role where travel is an option.
An interim can devote time and attention to their role alleviating work overloads on others, bring objectivity to a new assignment through an unbiased perspective, and bring experience, enthusiasm and optimism to the job. A leader with a desire to effect change and improve financial and clinical outcomes on a temporary, full-time basis can be a valuable change agent, positioning the hospital for success moving ahead and laying the groundwork for recruitment of a permanent CEO.
An interim executive often brings to the role decades of experience, especially helpful when working to improve areas of operational, financial and clinical performance.
Kaye Marantette, Chief Nursing Officer for Geary Community Hospital, Junction City, Kansas, was Interim CNO for a few months before recently accepting the permanent position. During the prior four years, she served as Interim CNO or CNO at other CHC client hospitals. She shared, "There's often lots of work to do, and I'm honored to call upon my experience to help." Her tenured experience, advanced degrees (RN, BSN, MSN), and positive attitude bring value to each role.
Understanding how to select and prepare for an incoming interim – a CEO or another executive – will help ensure a smooth leadership transition. Here are some "must-have" tips to follow.
Finding the interim you need
CHC has a long tradition of helping hospitals locate and place experienced interim executives to fill key leadership positions until permanent candidates are in place. This support is invaluable to hospital Board members, who often have business careers in the community that are not healthcare related. CHC specializes in finding an interim executive with just the right combination of talent and skills to address an organization's need. The result? The hospital benefits from a renewed sense of commitment with a new leader, along with the varied experience they bring to the table.
Support for an incoming interim
Candidates should clearly understand the expectations of the role. The hospital Board should be engaged in clarifying the role of the CEO for an incoming interim; for other executives such as a CFO or CNO, the hospital CEO should take the lead in communication. Hospital leaders and managers must perceive the interim as part of their team, not a "temporary" person.
Communicate regularly with key stakeholders
Steady, ongoing communication between an interim executive and hospital managers is critical, including regular meetings with individual managers and monthly department manager meetings.
Although change can be challenging, following these ideas can help ease the transition as a new leader arrives. In the long run, the hospital and the community both benefit.
CHC Consulting offers Hospital Management Services including the placement of interim CEOs and other executives, along with operational assessment services to identify opportunities for operational, clinical and financial improvement.
When hospitals also engage CHC Consulting for Permanent CEO Recruitment and/or Operational Assessment services in conjunction with Interim CEO services, the new CEO coming in will have an improvement plan in place that allows him or her to hit the ground running.

Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) founder and CEO Mark Zuckerburg has reportedly survived a leadership vote
HEFFX
Many of the company's largest shareholders insisted that Zuckerberg step down as chairman of the board and focus solely on his other role of managing the company's day-to-day operations.
However, given that the Facebook founder holds 60 percent of the board's voting power by himself, dissenting shareholders were unlikely to get their way anyway.
Should Mark Zuckerberg Step Down?
Speaking with the BBC, senior vice-president of Trillium Asset Management Jonas Kron expressed concern over Zuckerberg leading two full-time positions.
Given that Facebook is one of the world's largest companies, Kron suggested that Zuckerberg cede his position at the board to another individual. He also pointed out that Larry Page of Google and Bill Gates of Microsoft both left the board position to an individual better equipped for the task.
Trillium Asset Management is a major shareholder of the company, with approximately $7 million worth of Facebook stock to its name.
Overall, the bias in prices is: Downwards.
The projected upper bound is: 186.18.
The projected lower bound is: 169.24.
The projected closing price is: 177.71.
A big black candle occurred. This is bearish, as prices closed significantly lower than they opened. If the candle appears when prices are "high," it may be the first sign of a top. If it occurs when prices are confronting an overhead resistance area (e.g., a moving average, trendline, or price resistance level), the long black candle adds credibility to the resistance. Similarly, if the candle appears as prices break below a support area, the long black candle confirms the failure of the support area.
During the past 10 bars, there have been 5 white candles and 5 black candles. During the past 50 bars, there have been 25 white candles and 24 black candles for a net of 1 white candles.
A falling window occurred (where the bottom of the previous shadow is above the top of the current shadow). This usually implies a continuation of a bearish trend. The two candles preceding the falling window were black, which makes this pattern even more bearish.
Three black candles occurred in the last three days. Although these candles were not big enough to create three black crows, the steady downward pattern is bearish.
Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period. Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices. This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 31.3774. This is not an overbought or oversold reading. The last signal was a sell 25 period(s) ago.
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 40.15. This is not a topping or bottoming area. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a sell 17 period(s) ago.
The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas. The current value of the CCI is -185.This is an oversold reading. However, a signal isn't generated until the indicator crosses above -100. The last signal was a buy 4 period(s) ago.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a sell 17 period(s) ago.

This is a large and fun bottle whimsy of a tricycle contained in a one gallon bottle. It is in very good condition and sturdy for shipping. The bottle is 12" by 6" in diameter. The tricycle is glued in place so the bottle can be upright. The construction does not seem too old, maybe done within the last 20 years or so. It certainly is unusual. The price is $125.00. Inventory Code: TTRA. Tricycle in bottle whimsey ... The other side ... Bottle upright ... Another angle ... From above ... From below ... Top of bottle ... Bottom of bottle.
Here is a space ship drawing by Robert E. Gilbert. From the 1950's through the '70's Robert E. Gilbert (or REG, as he often signed himself) was a prolific contributor of art to science fiction fan magazines, and an occasional author. In addition, from the 1940's through the 80's he did a lot of non-science fiction art, experimenting with traditional and non-traditional styles. Gilbert lived in Tennessee, and died in 1993.
One of the most striking things about Gilbert's work is the strong sense of the alien. Landscapes are strange and unexpected. Even when humans are depicted, they look eerie somehow, as if they were just one more bizarre species in a weird galaxy. His experimentation with technique is also very interesting, and the detailing, especially of the black and white ink drawings, is fascinating. For more of the art of Robert E. Gilbert, please visit the pages we have set up, beginning at His home page.
This scene is a planetscape, with red spaceship, mountains and strange clouds. It measures 9" by 11 3/4", and is drawn in pastels on light textured paper, dated 1980. The price is $250.00. Inventory Code REG78. Image.
Here is an extraordinary collection, assemblage, and display of eight sports bottle whimsies. Each of the one pint whisky bottles contains a large hand made wooden frame containing a sports trading card. All of the bottles are set on a raised shelf in a hand made, semi-circular, lighted, metal display - like a hall of fame. There is a light in front of each bottle whimsey. The base is covered in red and green felt, trimmed with black braid and brass knobs. This assemblage is 26" across, 13 1/2" deep, and 13" high. The cards include Arnold Palmer, George Foreman, Wayne Gretzky, Wilma Rudolph, Jesse Owen, Joe Montana, Pete Rose, and Michael Jordan. It is signed by the maker, Richard Kopp, on the bottom, is in excellent condition, and was constructed in 1994. The price is $1600.00. Inventory Code: AORH. Image ... Closeup ... From above ...

This is a tall and thin carved man by Kentucky artist Lloyd "Hog" Mattingly (1923 - 2003). Like many of his people, it was made from a root or forked branch, with the head, arms, hands, and feet carved separately then attached. The eyes are beads and the hair is foam insulation. The figure was coated with something like gesso and then painted. There is some cracking and loss to the gesso surface, and the base and walking stick have been replaced. It is 42" high by about 9 1/2" wide by 8 1/2" deep, from the last quarter of the 20th c. We have more carvings by Mattingly here. The price is $375.00. Inventory Code: CTTR.

This is a man carved from a forked branch by Kentucky artist Lloyd "Hog" Mattingly (1923 - 2003). He has a cedar walking stick, and is mounted on a slab of log. The hands and feet were carved separately then attached. The eyes and buttons are beads and the hair and beard are foam insulation. The figure was coated with something like gesso and then painted. The condition is very good with some minor cracking and loss to the gesso surface. It is 27" high by about 10 1/2" wide by 12 1/2" deep, from the last quarter of the 20th c. We have more carvings by Mattingly here. The price is $275.00. Inventory Code: CTTK. Carving by Lloyd "Hog" Mattingly ... Two more views ... More angles ... Side and back views ... Closeup of head ... Closeup of middle ... Closeup of feet ... From above ... With a soda can for scale.
This is an old hand carved and painted Chinese stick puppet once used in street theater. The head, neck and hands are carved, they are manipulated with sticks from below. The figure is 15" high from the top of his head to the bottom of his robe. The head is fully 3 dimensional, measuring 2 1/4" wide by 2 3/4" deep. An opening on the top back of the head provided a place where hair or a headdress could be attached. The costume is from about the 1960's or 70's, but the wooden head and hands are quite a bit older. It is in very good, used, old condition, and has lots of personality. The price is $225.00. Inventory code: AOAR. Image. We have several more of these puppets.
This is a nice, good sized tramp art frame made from cigar boxes over a crate wood base. The exterior is about 23 1/4" by 18 1/2", while the opening is around 14 1/2" by 9 3/4". It is built in up to 5 layers, and is about 1 1/2" deep including the base. The chip carved corners each have crescent moons applied. The outside of the frame is decorated with many carved pieces that were set in under the long pyramids. The inside of the frame is also decorated with some nice larger notching. There are a variety of shades of woods making up this piece. These all seem to be original, their differences coming from using a variety of cigar boxes. Some of the labels are visible on the back, including a NJ tax stamp. The entire frame has a lacquer surface. This piece is in extremely good condition with a few small chips and perhaps the loss of a tiny bit of the tip of one moon. It was likely made in the early 1900's. The price is $475.00.

Here are two funky whimsey carvings. They are somewhat crude - or perhaps were never finished as there are still a few pencil marks here and there. Both are carved from pine, and are probably only about 20 years old. They are in excellent condition.
The first is a rectangular cage with a knob on top. Inside the cage is a link fixed to the top, with a free-moving link attached. It is 3 5/8" high by 1 1/2" by 1 1/8". The price is $45.00. Inventory Code: AOKA. Image ... A second view ... A third view ... From above ... From below.

Our mission drives what products we make and how they function. Everything we do shines through this prism.
We make the products in-house. That way we can control quality and consistency.
We will strive to produce the best in class products that combine functional benefits (soothed, clean skin) with usability (not too thick, not too thin) and brilliant experiences (pleasing fragrances).
Washing your skin can be harmful. Our wash products will not strip the skin of oils, but support and cleanse it. We will develop products that support and strengthen the skin's integrity and biome. Our products will include active ingredients that heal and promote skin regeneration.
We see this are our niche. When washing the body there is the most potential to both damage and heal the skin. It is here we can help most.
Our tag line for UXB is "The application of nature™" because we see great value in using natural oils and active ingredients on the skin while it is wet and semi-permeable in the shower or bath.
We will choose ingredients and suppliers that are sustainable and will not damage the ecosystem, communities or the planet.

When you use /server -6, mIRC binds to an IPv6 adapter, this overrides the Global mode for that connection only.
This means you cannot use IPv4 on that connection, even /dns -4 will not work, this is because IPv4 is simply disabled.
In this mode, using /sockopen with an host that resolve to an IPv4 IP address will not work as well.
If you want to use IPv6 while still having IPv4 support, you must use the Global mode, see below.
Remember, this option can be enabled/disabled at alt + o > Connect > options > ports button > Enable IPv6 support and prioritize IPv6 over IPv4 connections.
In this mode, IPv6 has priority but IPv4 is not disabled.
This mode is recommended. Use /server -6 only if you want to disable IPv4 for anything happening from that connection.
