North American Inclusion Month
Countries & Cultures
What's the hashtag?
#NorthAmericanInclusionMonth
North American Inclusion Month (NAIM) was created by the Yachad/National Jewish Council for Disabilities. Now some five years old, the North American Inclusion Month was established as a way of recognising the need for more opportunities for people with disabilities, including in both employment and education. February 2nd, 2010 saw a U.S. House of Representatives resolution, which acknowledged the goals of NAIM.
NAIM is an opportunity for society to be more inclusive regarding people with disabilities. Regardless of an individual's disabilities the North American Inclusion Month aims to make them feel every bit a part of society as an able-bodied person. The month is not in place to create a better understanding of a disabled person's needs and aspirations for just four weeks. The North American Inclusion Month is used as a way of galvanising a more positive approach, concerning people with disabilities, for the whole year.
Making society more inclusive for people with disabilities can begin with simple individual actions during NAIM. Going out of one's way to interact more with people with disabilities is one example. Often people will not interact with people with disabilities because they are nervous about saying or doing the right thing. However, not feeling part of society is what will often hurt a disabled person most of all.
From children to adults, people with disabilities can feel part of things throughout North American Inclusion Month. Sport should also be inclusive, and this can be achieved by adapting aspects of that sport where necessary. Children at school, who are affected by hearing or sight problems, can be helped by aids, which will make them able to enjoy a lesson just as much as their classmates. For elderly people with disabilities a nostalgia night, which includes a sing-along, can help bring back happy memories.
Also in February ...

Palin covers digital tracks in US election
By Gareth Mason 17 September 2008
Pythonesque subterfuge over Troopergate
Tech-savvy creationist
Hockey mum and US Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is not looking as transparent in her political dealings as she would like us to think.
The woman with whom Republican nominee John McCain hopes to lead the US in some direction or other is refusing to hand over more than a thousand emails in connection with an investigation into 'Troopergate'.
The latest 'gated' controversy concerns her allegedly prominent role in the firing of her former brother-in-law, and his boss. Both sackings appeared to be motivated less for professional reasons and more for the temerity of falling out with the Palin clan.
Let there be transparency!
Pro-reformer Palin is claiming executive privilege despite the fact that many of the emails were clearly nothing to do with sensitive state business. Using unofficial email accounts such as gov.sarah@yahoo.com and devices such as BlackBerries, she is seeking to avoid letting the courts see them as public records.
This is a tactic that was taught by the angels of the lord, the Big G himself. We refer, of course, to White House aides protecting George Dubya from prying investigators over the allegedly political firing of government lawyers.
The same administration 'lost' millions of emails after an 'upgrade' to the White House system shortly after George Bush 'won' his first election. (We should point out the excessive use of qualifying speech marks in this article is entirely beyond our control).
Lipstick on an elephant
A lawsuit launched by Republican state legislators is designed to delay the Troopergate findings until after the election. The present brouhaha highlights the difficulties of holding people in public office to account when they know that leaving incriminating evidence on official channels could bring them down.
Admittedly, this didn't stop Richard Nixon from recording his own dodgy dealings on the office tape recorder. But he was the exception that made the rule and had a few devious plans to back up his machinations such as getting his secretary to tape over the bad bits, and pretending not to understand the question.
Palin, who supports the teaching of creationism, and believes living in Alaska gives her a good grounding in foreign policy, will no doubt have ample opportunity to exercise her imagination even more in the coming months.

Do you dream of catching a hot wave and riding it all the way to a sunny white beach? Then our Surf Camp Sri Lanka is the place for you. Regardless if you are a beginner or experienced surfer you will have a great time in Sri Lanka, which offers unspoiled surf-spots and is free of big hotels and overcrowded beaches.
At Bering Travel, we know that the perfect surf holiday is about more than the quality of the surf-spot. You can expect skilled and friendly instructors, beautiful surroundings, a great and relaxed atmosphere, and many friendly people from all over the world. As you can see from the photos above, the surf camp could not have a better location. You are literally staying on the beach!
A typical day at the Surf Camp Sri Lanka: You awake to the sound of breaking waves; you open your eyes and check the surf-conditions through the window. Then you decide if you want go surfing right away or if you want to wait a while.
Regardless if this is your first time surfing or if you have surfed many times before, our instructors can help you reach the next level. The surfing is always done in small groups of surfers on the same level and modern advantages such as video-analysis of style and technique are used to ensure that the fundamentals are in order. As an extra bonus, you can get a copy of the video footage to take home! The easy access to the waves also means that there is virtually no waiting-time - when you want to surf, you go surf.
You arrive at the Airport in Colombo where you are picked up if you have decided on getting a transfer. There will be a person with a sign, waiting for you. If you have decided to take the train instead you get a taxi to drive you to the train station. The private transfer takes around 2½ hours and the train takes roughly 4-5 hours.
Once you arrive at the Surf Camp Sri Lanka, you are shown to your room and depending on when you arrive there might be time for some surfing.
Today is all about surfing, hanging out, and getting delicious food.
Sadly this is the end of your one-week surf holiday in Sri Lanka. You head back to the airport in Colombo and fly home (or some other fantastic place).
You are resposible for finding your flight to Colombo.
Important: Once you have booked the tour, you need to wait until we send you a confirmation email before booking your flight.
Remember to send us your flight details, so that we can arrange the transfer and remember cash to pay the driver (euro).
Every day there are 2x2 hours of surf tuition. It involves 2 hours before lunch and 2 hours after lunch. In between you will have plenty of time to surf on your own.
You will need a visa to enter Sri Lanka. You can get one for 30 USD here: http://www.eta.gov.lk/slvisa/ or you can buy one in the airport for 35 USD upon arrival.

The Dead Sea is an absolutely beautiful body of water. Sitting, sunken in the middle of a desert wilderness, the Dead Sea is called dead because its high level of salinity makes it impossible for life to flourish in its waters.
It is a stagnant body of water that is also susceptible to drying up during the months when the Jordan River provides very little and infrequent inflow.
I have been around many "Dea Sea" leaders. I have also been one myself. How do we get to this "dead" place spiritually as leaders?
Nothing goes in and nothing goes out. How do we maintain spiritual vitality when so much of leadership exhaust our finite energy levels, spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally etc? How we avoid "Dead Sea Leadership"?
Let me offer two encouragements for leaders who are weary.
I start here because of many leaders, including myself, struggle with finding time to be poured into. Leaders tend to have a false sense of their own strength and even good leaders lack the discipline to step away from the crowds and busyness to drink in the Gospel. Practically speaking fill your tank with increased Scripture reading, dedicated time alone with God in prayer, stay connected to Gospel community in your local church, lunch with a fellow leader, old friend or mentor, attend a good conference etc. Be as intentional about your own development as you are about the development of others.
While some leaders are drying up, others are growing stagnant. The "outflow" issue here happens when we confuse busyness with fruitfulness.
It is entirely possible to "lead" a team of people you are not investing in.
If your interactions with those you lead are 50% giving tasks, 25% reminding them of those tasks and 25% criticizing them for not completing the tasks then there is an "outflow" problem. Ask yourself these questions: Where is this team member currently at in their life? What can I do to encourage them with the Gospel in this unique season of life? In order to lead "while pouring out", we must be willing to be interrupted from time to time. Be willing to stop and have a conversation with those you lead. Ask them how they are doing and how you can pray for them or serve them this week.
As a leader, we must leverage our influence in the lives of others for their good and the glory of God. Spend 10 minutes at the start of your week making a list of 5 people on your team and commit to encouraging all 5 people by the end of the week.
Leadership is hard. It requires an inflow of Gospel and outflow of Gospel.

The party you love has no chance of winning the General Election, and here's why
Your vote is pointless. The party you're rallying behind is doomed to fail. The election has already been decided, and not in your favour. Well, unless you're a Tory, that is.

The devil tried to bury me, but he didn't realize I was a seed.
This was a quote I saw on Instagram this morning and I was struck by how appropriate it was for today. Because today, June 8th, 2016, is the one year anniversary of the day my husband lost his career.
Yes, I meant to say career, not job. You see new jobs are fairly easy to get after you've lost them. Specific careers? Not so much.
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago the door to my bedroom opened and I looked up to see my man with a look of complete and utter devestation on his face. Our lives as we knew it were completely over.
Of course we didn't know that for sure yet. We only feared. We figured there was still hope for some future in my husband's chosen profession. All we needed to do was not give up, right?
So we tried and tried and tried some more, until rejection just became expected. Application after application was denied, interviews with no phone calls back were the norm, and at the end of every day we were left begging for answers that no one was willing to give.
Many people suggested that this was a sign that God was closing the door on this chapter and perhaps my husband should pursue a new career. Very well meaning suggestions of course, but this was never "just" a career for him. This was his dream. This is what he believed with every fiber of his being God had created him to do. He had spent his entire life working and preparing for this one goal, and to just let it go felt like more than giving up, it felt like a lack of faith. And what if that was what God was asking of us? We found ourselves asking. What if we just need to trust Him to provide as we waited and persevered in faith?
So we had faith. Faith that our plans would line up with God's and the prize was worth fighting for. I believed in my husband and supported him spending the next several months doing absolutely everything he could think of to earn his career back. We both knew it would take an investment of time, but we felt the end outcome was worth the patience and perseverance that it would take to get there. I was proud of the determination of my man. I was so thankful that he wasn't a quitter and was willing to get back up no matter how many times he was knocked down. I desperately didn't want to see him lose his dream, and I believed that it was was just a matter of time before someone saw all he had to offer.
But how long must we wait before God's silence is translated as a no? How many rejections does it take before perseverance becomes stubbornness?
The answer is different for everybody and every situation, and only God can answer that. But for us, it was 11 months.
We had both reached the end of our rope. He was at the limit of all the defeat he could handle and I was at the limit of all the believing I could muster up. After spending almost an entire year praying for either a door to open, or a clear sign that it was indeed time to close the door on this chapter forever, he received a phone call from someone who cared enough about him to give the answers we had been searching for the whole time. This was our sign, our answer to prayer. God was gracious enough to let His "No" be as spelled out as you can get, and as extremely painful as it was to hear, we were so grateful to finally have closure and the freedom to let go without feeling like we were giving up.
So why are we celebrating today, a day that marks extreme pain and loss for us?
2) The future God is building for us is good Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." The other day, someone said that my husband's old place of employment ruined his life. And I'm not gonna lie, there have been many, many days when we have echoed that statement in our hearts over the last year. We have both gone through all the dark emotions of anger, resentment, fear, grief, and hopelessness that come from being unemployed. But even though they may have ruined his career, they don't have the power to ruin our lives. God is so much bigger than any decision man can make over our lives and the plans He has for us are so much bigger than any one career! What we do, does not define us, contrary to what we all tend to believe most of the time. Now who He says we are? That's what defines us! And He calls us, chosen, beloved, and His. He is a good father who knows how to give good gifts to His children. He has designed us all with unique gifts and abilities that He doesn't plan on wasting! So even if the career that my husband had planned for his whole life isn't meant to carry him through the rest of his life, it's not like God used up all my husband had to offer and He doesn't have anything better for him to do. My husband is an extremely gifted man! And God has got big plans for him, whatever they may be. Our story is not over yet.
3) Our darkest days can be redeemed for good. This year has been hands down the hardest year of my life. I'm just being real with you, here. And I know my husband would say the same thing for himself. In addition to the pain of losing both his career and his dream, I delivered our second son three months early and he spent two months in the hospital. We've gone through the stress of finances, health concerns, caring for two children under three, family stresses, and the pressure that all of this has put on our marriage. I'm not trying to make it out like our suffering is the worst imaginable, because it totally isn't! There are so many people who are facing trials infinitely worse than ours! We really do consider ourselves to be incredibly blessed and have been well provided for in so many ways. But with all that said, it's still just been a crappy year!
However, even with all the pain, and regardless of how difficult our circumstances may be, or how unknown the future may look, this is what I know to be true: Our days are never so dark that they are without hope, and our circumstances are never so broken that they cannot be redeemed. This has been my anchor and what has given me the strength to keep going this year and it's what gives me the hope and courage to face the unknown. Our God is in the business of redeeming things, people! It doesn't matter what we've done or had done to us, or how far gone we think we are, or how impossible things may seem. God takes our brokenness and creates beauty. Isaiah 43:18-19 says, "Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Nothing is too broken for Jesus.
My husband and I were talking yesterday and we decided that we weren't going to let misery and loss define June 8th, so we decided to call it "New Chapter Day". We have spent enough time mouring what is past and we are hopeful for what is ahead! For the first time in a long time, I can honestly say that we feel excited for our future, and we thought it would be cool to mark this significant day in our lives! So after hearing that quote from earlier, we decided to plant a tree to symbolize the new growth that is springing forth from all that the devil tried to bury us with this year. We won't be defeated. We've got lots of fruit to bear! And that is something to celebrate!
That doesn't mean that sorrow won't still exist. I know even when my husband has moved on and is rocking it in some new career,there will still be a part of him that will always grieve the loss of his dream. But I am learning that not only is it possible for joy and sorrow to co-exist, but we can still thrive in the complex interweaving of the two. You see, the fact is, that going through suffering of any kind leaves a person changed. There's no going back to who we once were. Our new person might look quite different. We might carry some battle scars, or have a little bit of innocence gone. But that doesn't mean we can't have joy. No, not at all. We can still be whole. We can still be glorious.
So here is to new chapters and new dreams and new life! May you spring forth new life in whatever season you are in!
And while you're at it, go ahead and tell the devil where to go and how to get there, for me, will ya?
I understand my friend, and my heart and prayers have been with you. I remember how devastated I was to lose my job at the church, my dream job, the thing I thought was God's plan for my life, not to mention my husband's unemployment and now unable to work due to disability. One thing I know for sure is that God is good and will never leave us alone. Hugs my friend! Thank you so much for sharing. You wrote so beautifully.
Your caring heart is so beautiful, Barbie and has always touched me! Thank you for your encouragement and for thinking of us in your prayers! I will continue to pray for you as well!
Thank you for letting God use this season in your life so powerfully. This was beautifully written and filled with hope and promise. I'm praying for where God will lead you and I thank God for what he's done in your heart. I am blessed to have you in my life as my sister in Christ.
I am so blessed by you too, Rachel and have loved getting to know you more these past few months! Thanks so much for leaving a comment! It means so much when my in person friends comment!
A new blog post! And a really good one! I love your idea for a "New Chapter Day" Praying for you and the next step in your journey.
Thanks Amanda! You're such a awesome and supportive writing friend!
great post heather:) i can still picture the day my husband walked home and straight into the bedroom (very uncharacteristic!) i followed him in to find out what was wrong only to discover he had lost his job! it was my birthday and he didn't want to tell me!
i still remember the shock that this man in his 40's had lost his job…and he hadn't done anything wrong! all the methods of recourse were closed to him because if he used them, he would immediately lose his job. otherwise, he had 6 months to find one. so devastating! i was furious and frustrated as well.
i came to learn many of your lessons over time. it happened about 30 years ago!
I can so relate to that feeling, Martha! Thanks so much for sharing!
Heather, what a beautiful post! This last year has been very trying for me and my husband. He, too, lost his career and we have had to start over in a new career and a new community. We have suffered the loss of a grandchild, and our family has walked the same road as you have with his and his brother's early arrival at 27 weeks, 6 days. After 142 days in the NICU, that family is finally under one roof, minus one. I had to leave a place I had dreamed of for years, people I was starting to deeply care for, and a sense of place and establishment (after 37 moves since I married) and had to start over. I know God put us where we were for a season and reason, and maybe someday will know the answer. I love your idea for the tree planting, and may just have to borrow it for July 31. Thank you for your lovely spirit and words.
Wow, Monica, 37 times! I can't even imagine! You are such a strong woman! You have been so heavy on my heart this last year, and I feel blessed to be able to relate to each other's experiences! Thank you so much for reading and commenting!
Time for a coffee date!
Agreed! I'll call you this week!
I LOVE these beautiful words and the fight simmering beneath. You are a Hope Warrior, my friend, fighting for hope in the midst of darkness and unknown. Your post is so encouraging. Thank you (and your husband) for being so vulnerable! Sharing our stories is so powerful and yours is going to inspire others for sure!
I don't know how I missed this comment before, but thank you so much for your encouraging words! I so appreciate them, and only hope I can be a hope warrior!
Welcome! I'm a wife, a mother, and a passionate Jesus lover stumbling through ordinary life and finding grace in every struggle. I write to remind you that no matter what you are going through, there is always hope.

Brian Bromberg's "Hands" Now Available in U.S.
by Kevin Johnson Sunday, October 9th, 2011
Jazz bassist Brian Bromberg's solo acoustic bass album Hands is now available in the U.S. via his website. The 15-track disc features a variety of tunes ranging from straight-ahead jazz standards like "Stella By Starlight" to classic rock like Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog," all done with one bass in one take.
Though he admits he was skeptical to make a completely solo bass album, Bromberg took the opportunity to stretch out and be spontaneous. He engineered the album himself, only picking the songs once he became inspired.
"When I recorded this CD, I recorded nineteen songs over the length of the project… Of the nineteen songs there were only two songs that I knew wanted to do in advance of this recording," the bassist noted. "The remaining seventeen songs that I recorded I picked while I was recording this CD and in the studio. I really wanted the spirit and vibe of this project to be as live and unrehearsed as possible. There are also no overdubs on this recording, just live bass playing in the studio."
Hands Track List:
Stella By Starlight (Victor Young)
Cute (Neal Hefti)
Solar (Miles Davis)
Beatles Medley Day Tripper-Yesterday-Eleanor Rigby (John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Black Orpheus (Luiz Bonfa)
In A Sentimental Mood (Duke Ellington)
King Of Pain (Gordon Sumner)
Teen Town (Jaco Pastorius)
Susumu's Blues (Brian Bromberg)
Black Dog (Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones)
In Your Own Sweet Way (Dave Brubeck)
Use Me (Bill Withers)
Recordame' (Joe Henderson)
What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? (Michel Legrand)
Yeah (Jonathon Smith, La Marquis Jefferson, James Phillips)

The notion that current Quarterbacks Coach Kellen Moore will be promoted to Offensive Coordinator has divided many Cowboys fans. The idea is growing on some, but others remain very opposed. Is he really the right guy to help Dallas' offense get to the next level?
Yesterday, one of my fellow Inside The Star writers gave his reasons why Moore's promotion could be a positive for the Cowboys. I decided to play devil's advocate today and give three reasons why it would not be a good move.
For the record, I'm not opposed to the move. I don't want some retread like Todd Haley or Mike McCoy, who have been fired from more than one NFL team in their past. What innovation can they offer at this point?
But at the same time, do you really want a guy whose never held the job at any level before now? That leads us to my first reason for being against Kellen Moore.
Even Sean McVay spent three seasons as the Redskins' OC before he got his job in Los Angeles. Moore was playing QB just a year ago and has spent one season in a true coaching role. I know he was credited for being an assistant to the coaches during his playing career, but you'd still like a guy whose spent a little more time with a clipboard in hand.
Kellen could be a genius, and there are often reality checks that come whenever you step into a larger role. We often see something being done and think we understand, even thinking we could do it better, but then discover nuances and challenges that we didn't recognize before.
Most of the greatest QBs to ever play the game didn't have strong rookie seasons.
Of course, there's talk that Moore's role as OC would be supplemented by a lot of experienced assistants. Tight Ends Coach Doug Nussmeier has been a coordinator on the college level for high-profile programs like Alabama, Florida, and Michigan. We could even see Jason Garrett gets more hand-on with the offense again.
Perhaps Kellen would give a fresh approach and outlook that would push the Cowboys' offense forward in 2019. But you have to be concerned about his lack of experience, regardless of how highly you rate his potential.
If you didn't like Linehan's work with the Cowboys then you may be concerned that he's had a lot of influence on Kellen Moore's offensive philosophy. Between Dallas and Detroit, they have been together for all but one of Moore's seven years in the NFL.
Linehan was the Lions' OC when Moore signed with them following the 2012 draft. When Scott was fired by Detroit after the 2013 season, he came to Dallas while Kellen played one more year with the Lions. In 2015, Linehan played a key role in getting Moore signed by the Cowboys.
That said, we have no way of knowing how much Linehan has shaped Moore's ideas about football. It's only a hypothetical, but one that shouldn't be ignored.
It's entirely possible that Kellen may have learned some good things by observing Linehan, too. "What not to do" can be valuable experience. Perhaps Moore was shaking his head at some of Scott's calls and decisions as much as the rest of us.
I take some confidence in the fact that Jason Garrett, who knows offense, would be willing to make this move. His job is on the line and the willingness to give Kellen Moore increased responsibility means Jason must see something he likes.
It also would mean he doesn't blame Kellen for our third reason.
This is the clearest and most concerning evidence against Moore's ascension on the coaching staff. In his one year as Quarterbacks Coach, there was no sign of development in Dak Prescott's performance from his rookie season. Also, Cooper Rush's play in the 2018 preseason was a clear regression from last year.
But only insiders know how much of this is about the coach as opposed to players and other factors around them. Was Kellen wanting to coach things that didn't align with Linehan's offensive strategy? Was Moore really getting to do things his way?
Most would agree that Prescott's play got better as the season went on, and perhaps that's a feather in Moore's cap. In fact, it could be a sign that Kellen also improved in his role over time.
As for Rush, we've seen plenty of one-hit wonders in sports. Guys can get hot and cool off, and perhaps what we saw last August was closer to reality than his 2017 play.
But as smart and savvy as Kellen Moore has been praised to be as an offensive mind, there's no denying that it didn't seem to rub off on the Cowboys quarterbacks this year. Communicating and teaching what you know to others is a separate skill.
Ultimately, we don't know what kind of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore could turn out to be. But there's evidence on both sides of the argument, and the Cowboys will be taking a serious gamble if they elect to promote such an inexperienced guy to such an important role.
But in this era when everyone is looking for the next creative and innovative offensive mind, maybe it's the exact move this team needs.

Without the filter, the reflections on the pizzas, table, and glasses of water just destroy the scene. I'm glad I happened to have brought the my polarization filter that day. In the "Without Polarizer" picture, the filter is still actually on the lens, but rotated so that it doesn't comb out the reflections.
Normally, the individual waves that make up light are not "oriented" in any particular direction, so a filter designed to comb out light waves having a particular orientation doesn't do much except dim the whole scene a bit (because it removes the few percent of waves that happen to have that orientation). However, in some situations, all the waves of a particular light find themselves oriented at the same angle – it's polarized light – so filtering for that angle stops all that light, while only slightly dimming the rest of the light.
In the scene above, the background glare reflected from the pizzas, table, and water glasses was polarized, so I simply rotated the filter in front of the lens until the reflections dimmed... they dimmed because the angle of the filter "comb" matched the orientation of the waves making up the glare, thereby blocking it.
Wikipedia has a detailed discussion of the physics of polarization, but for practical photographic applications, Light — Science and Magic is excellent.
Without the filter, the glare just destroys the picture, but with the filter at full effect, the pizza looks dull and lifeless. Well, it's a pizza, so it is lifeless, but it need not be dull, so if I had been serious about making a portrait of the pizza instead of eating it, I'd likely have tried rotating the filter such that a touch of glare was left to enhance the 3-D look of the surface.
In this wider shot, though, where the pizza is not the whole image, I'm happy to forego sparkle in the pizza in order to reveal the richness of the table's wood grain... richness that without the filter the glare blows away.
I was just playing around with the filter prior to more important tasks (eating), so I didn't notice that the focus point slipped between the two pictures, and that focus difference has a greater effect on the overall feel than the glare or lack thereof.
Well, okay, it was my composition that destroyed these shots because both are pretty pathetic, but you can see how much more interesting a well-composed shot would be with the reflections of the snowy branches left in tact.
In these cases, you do have to physically remove the filter from the lens in order to avoid the patterns, because they appear to some extent at all rotations of the filter.
This is an amazing post. I thought I understood polarizers, but I learned a lot today.
My Bro-in-law sent this post. Great examples. I also have to say the pizza looks amazing! The tables and glasses…also amazing! I wish I was back in Japan right now, so I could find that place and eat some pizza!
These are great examples, thanks! In these situations I would use fill flash which works well for managing some glare, but now i've added a polarized filter to my TOBUY list.
Really useful post, I'll have to use my filter a little more often. do you have a UV filter that you have experimented with as extensively?
Your mum seems to be funny, too. Great family you have!

France Fights Back, Shutters Mosque After What Imam Allegedly Said
By Abby Liebing December 29, 2021 at 1:22pm
France is shutting down the Great Mosque of Beauvais in the northern region of Oise after authorities said the imam's radical sermons "defended jihad," the BBC reported Tuesday.
The Beauvais mosque will remain closed for six months.
The outlet said France has been checking on mosques and Islamic places of worship that have suspected links to terrorism.
Local authorities said sermons at the mosque referred to jihadists as "heroes" and incited violence and hatred, the BBC reported.
France's interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said two weeks ago that the imam was "targeting Christians, homosexuals and Jews" in his sermons and started the process to shut down the mosque. Authorities gave the mosque 10 days to respond.
The document outlining the closure of the mosque said that "the terrorist threat remains at a very high level" and the closure had "the aim of forestalling acts of terrorism being committed," France 24 reported.
The BBC reported that a lawyer for the group managing the mosque told a local newspaper the imam was "speaking on a voluntary basis" and his remarks had been "taken out of context."
However, the lawyer said the imam had been suspended from his duties.
France shuts mosque in Beauvais after imam accused of inciting hatred and violencehttps://t.co/o53HUNgniN
— BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) December 28, 2021
France has struggled for the past several years with Islamic terrorist attacks that have killed hundreds of people.
In 2015 alone there were a series of deadly strikes in Paris, including the massacre of 129 people in November and the infamous shootings at the office of Charlie Hebdo magazine that killed 12 people.
The crackdown on places of worship was spurred by the October 2020 murder of Samuel Paty.
Paty was a civics teacher who was targeted for having shown students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that were published by Charlie Hebdo, France 24 reported.
Since then, authorities have been watching different mosques throughout the country.
Donald Trump Threatened with Death in Disturbing New Video: 'Coming Soon ...'
"The interior ministry said this month that around 100 mosques and Muslim prayer halls out of France's total number of more than 2,600 have been investigated over recent months because of suspicion that they were spreading 'separatist' ideology," France 24 said.
While it makes sense that the French authorities are monitoring mosques and trying to keep an eye out for terrorist activities, they must be careful not to damage the right to freedom of religion and speech in France.
Of course, the threat of terrorism by radical Islamists has to be monitored, but shutting down a mosque could be an infringement of the right to freedom of religion, which is explicitly laid out in the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
Do you agree with the decision to shut down the mosque?
Yes: 97% (1139 Votes)
"No man ought to be molested on account of his opinions, not even on account of his religious opinions, provided his avowal of them does not disturb the public order established by law," the declaration says.
"The unrestrained communication of thoughts and opinions being one of the most precious rights of man, every citizen may speak, write, and publish freely, provided he is responsible for the abuse of this liberty, in cases determined by law," it continues.
Of course, an imam's teachings that promote terrorism or jihad could rightly be seen as disturbing "the public order established by law."
But even if closing down the mosque in the name of fighting terrorism is lawful and sensible, it is still important to beware the slippery slope of giving the government the power to decide which religions and speech are allowed and which are not.

Deal Casino was an American alternative rock band formed in Sparta, New Jersey in 2013. The band consists of members Joe Parella (lead vocals, guitar), Jozii Cowell (guitar), Jon Rodney (bass), and Christopher Donofrio (drums).

History
The members of Deal Casino originally started playing together in elementary school, eventually forming a band called Something About January. After a lineup change and some massive changes in their writing process and their approach to music, the band renamed itself after the well-known Jersey beach club, The Deal Casino Bathing Pavilion, after an episode in which they waited for hours there in preparation for the 2013 Bamboozle Music Festival. The Deal Casino gets its name from an infamous shore town whose residents include people like movie theater magnate Walter Reade and Genovese crime family underboss Willie Moretti. Deal Casino has averaged a show a week since their formation in 2013.

Joe Parella, the band's front man, provides lead vocals and plays guitar. The rest of the band consists of Jozii Cowell (guitar), Jon Rodney (guitar), Christopher Donofrio (drums). All are from Sparta, NJ, and were barely 20 years old when they formed the band. All decided to move to live and work in the heart of the Asbury Park music scene. Joe Parella works at the recording studio where they practice and the others work in restaurants/florists. Deal Casino played The Saint for 12 weeks in the Summer of 2014 during their initiation to the Asbury Park, New Jersey music scene. The shows were recorded, and the band reported watching them the next day, taking notes, analyzing them, and planning their improvement like a sports team.  By December 2014, Deal Casino dominated the Asbury Park Music Awards, drawing comparisons with early Smashing Pumpkins and winning more awards than any other group, including Best Pop/Rock Band, Best Vocalist, and Best Live Performance.

The band's sound has been described as "urgent, groove-heavy" and a "boisterous, bouncing rock sound not so far from Neon Trees or Young the Giant," though some object to this characterization. Parella's style has been described as similar to Trees vocalist Tyler Glenn. They have kept the sound very raw to achieve a live, stark, but polished sound. Their early sound was characterized by contrasts between subdued, mellow, and loud, anthem-like sounds. Their lyrics have been described as raw, confessional, and picturesque, similar to those of Arcade Fire and Klaxons. Deal Casino has been described as "an explosive live act, ramping up and tearing around the stage as if possessed."

In September 2020, Parella announced via a post on the band's official Instagram page that, as of early 2020, Deal Casino was no longer a band, with Cowell and Rodney going separate ways, albeit "on good terms and as friends." Parella continues to make music independently.

Parella, who performs under the name Joe P, released an EP titled "Emily Can't Sing" in 2021. The fifth track, "Off My Mind," sits at over 11 million streams on Spotify.

Personnel

 Joe Parella — lead vocals, guitar (2013–2020)
 Jozii Cowell — guitar (2013–2020)

Sebring, FL (September 16, 2017) – Emotional and spiritual care during disaster and emergency situations is why The Salvation Army stands out after the unthinkable happens. Not only do survivors need their physical needs taken care of, but just having someone to talk to can make all the difference.
Meridian, Mississippi Corps Officer, Major Young Soon Kim, on deployment in Sebring, Florida, takes a unique approach. She makes prayer bracelets from yarn and hands them out as she ministers to those coming to canteens for food and water.
Turns out her forethought was correct. Major Kim noticed a family of three waiting in their car for a hot meal as the mobile feeding truck set up to serve.
Major Kim showed the family her bracelets…blue, red, and yellow interwoven together. Major Kim explained they are Salvation Army colors but also represent the Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
So, they got out of their car, held hands and Major Kim prayed one more time, this time with the daughter.
Major disasters, like Hurricane Irma, can turn lives upside down. We know feeding the body is the immediate need, but feeding the spirit makes all the difference in putting lives back together.

I had such an awesome weekend. I am going to end up posting a blog on each thing that happened. First on the list is, I am officially a college graduate! Me! I still can't believe it. I handed in my last assignment last week (June 26th) and It was such a relief but at the same time I have no idea what to do with myself until I get a job in my field. I posted my last assignment on this blog because it is really important. This is going to be my five year plan. Will it happen? Maybe. But at least I have a plan of action. I am going to do whatever it takes to drive my nose into this industry. I know I'm worth it for an employer to have and hopefully someone will realize it too. I have a goal, that is all that matters. Actually I have a couple of goals that I know I will be able to reach eventually. I just need to keep looking to find that job to give me an opportunity to spread my wings so that I can fly. I got this, I know I do. But It is still unreal that I am a graduate. I have been waiting to say this for 10 long years, since I graduated high school. I can now attend my 10 year reunion with a BFA in Creative Writing under my belt. Makes me ecstatic to say that, it's crazy, I still can't get over it. I will find that job that will suit me. Watch out real world, here I come.

Q: How to assign value to a Lazy Loading object? I am new on lazy loading, but I want to be able to fill my lazy loading objects after it was created too. Is it possible?
I am getting this error when I want to define a "Lazy loading list" as a normal list I created:
Cannot implicitly convert type: 'System.Collections.Generic.List' to 'System.Lazy>'
Here is the code:
List<Currency> currencyOfMids = new List<Currency>();
 obj.Merchant.CurrencyOfMids = currencyOfMids;

I tried identifying my list as a Lazy list too, but this time I can't fill it with "Add" command:
 foreach (ListItem currencyItem in selectedCurrencies)
                currencyOfMids.Add(new Currency() { Code = currencyItem.Text, Id = int.Parse(currencyItem.Value) });

'Lazy>' does not contain a definition for 'Add' and no extension method 'Add' accepting a first argument of type 'Lazy>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

A: I think you are looking for the Lazy<T>.Value property.  The Value property is how you access the T object (in your case, a List<Currency>.  The Value is automatically initialized the first time that you access it (which is what makes it lazy).  You can't assign to value, but you can loop through currencyOfMids and add each value to obj.Merchant.CurrencyOfMids.Value.
foreach (ListItem currencyItem in selectedCurrencies)
            currencyOfMids.Value.Add(new Currency() { Code = currencyItem.Text, Id = int.Parse(currencyItem.Value) });

A: You can assign to a Lazy<T>, passing it the code that will create the list lazily when needed:
obj.Merchant.currencyOfMids = new Lazy<List<Currency>>(
   () => ... code to generate currencies ...
);

Now when you want the list you access currencyofMids.Value and if it hasn't already been generated it will generate it.

One of the best parts of doing what we do at Universal Plastic Mold is getting to provide a solution for our customer's needs. It's both an honor and a responsibility, and not one we take lightly. We know that achieving the full potential of our capability directly affects the capabilities of the companies we provide solutions for, so we take it seriously when a company trusts UPM enough to help bring its idea to life. A real pleasure for us is getting to work with companies that are starting at the beginning with an idea that we're able to participate in creating. Getting to partner with these innovative companies to bring form to something that hasn't yet existed requires all our creativity and skill and is a full team effort, which we experienced with our latest partner when we took on the task of helping produce a state-of-the-art mall kiosk by Norwegian company BubblyGroup.
BubblyGroup's product, called Bubbly®, is the latest concept in consumer feedback collection. Put simply, Bubbly is a highly designed kiosk intended for store use, particularly malls, to collect real-time customer surveys from consumers in the store. The motivation for the store is to gather market research about what consumers want and need so they can better tailor their products. Consumers agree to participate because Bubbly rewards each survey taker with a prize of some sort, as well as coupons based on what they identified with being interested in. BubblyGroup spent considerable time testing the kiosk in Scandinavian countries with great success, enough to move their headquarters to New York, where they're now planning to launch Bubbly in American retail locations.
BubblyGroup came to us, ultimately deciding to partner with us after seeing the size of our machines, the capability of our facility, and our commitment to customer service. They also related to being a family owned company, as they are as well, so we hit it off quickly and shared enthusiasm in getting the product to market. They brought us a prototype initially, and our designers modified it slightly to make it more suitable for injection molding. We collaborated until we found a design we were all happy with and got to work making several parts ranging in size. Essentially, our role was needing to build the majority of the kiosk itself so that it was both functional and attractive in retail locations.
Our partnership with BubblyGroup has been exciting and creatively inspiring, and they're planning to have 300 units out for beta testing by October 2017. The Bubbly kiosk is expected to become a popular, widespread means of improving customer satisfaction through immediate consumer feedback, converting store visitors into buyers. Larger production is expected not too far in the future, and the company received acclaim for being a finalist in the 2016 national level Nordic Startup Awards. UPM is pleased with the parts we were able to build, and we wish BubblyGroup much success with the Bubbly product.

Moon Size UFO Exits From Earths Sun July 18, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
This UFO was found by UFOvni2012 of Youtube by using the the free Helioviewer online site. Its a great site, and easy to use. This is a really big UFO near our sun.
You can see the Earth scale beside it that Helioviewer provides. So this UFO is about the size of our moon. There is a giant trail behind it, and I wonder if anyone at NASA even knew about it, or are they too busy with other things to notice it? Wow, just a really strange shape, but it clearly a ship and its leaving some kind of trail. It must take a lot of force to move a moon size ship. This is more evidence that ships do enter and exit our sun.

Listen To Lady Bee And Noise Cans Bring The World To You With New Video For "Bucka"
Amsterdam + Bermuda + Jamaica = party.
By Emer Hughes
Lady Bee—hailing from Amsterdam and coming off a year of touring—and Noise Cans—the sound system described as "badman rave" by its anonymous Bermudian frontman—have teamed up on new song "Bucka" to pay tribute to Jamaica.
The result of this collaboration—also featuring vocals from dancehall artist Mr. Vegas—is a global mix that ensures the song feels both fresh and somehow familiar. The video is unabashedly fun, serving to sneak the viewer into the best dance party going.The accompanying video is as glitchy as the song's trap heart, and the snippets of Noise Cans' signature suited and masked figures keep it on the right side of interesting.

"The fact that we could capture Jamaica in some of its purest elements is a dream come true for me," Noise Cans told The FADER, speaking on the collaboration. "'Bucka' is the first installment to the masquerade madness to come from Noise Cans."
The song is out now on Dim Mak Records.

Why Slovenia Should Be On Your Bucket List
21st February, 2020 in Travel Inspiration
Sandwiched between Croatia and Austria in the heart of Europe you'll find stunning Slovenia. It has just 47km of coastline on the Adriatic Sea and although it might not boast beautiful beaches like its neighbour, the country's landscapes are a sight to behold and it has a little something for everyone.
So, if you're yet to visit this little gem here's exactly why it should be next up on your bucket list.
The scenery is jaw-dropping
Slovenia is known for its glacial lakes, picturesque mountains and baroque style towns and cities but pictures don't do this place justice. One of the most alluring things about this country is its inescapable natural beauty and this shouldn't change anytime soon as approximately 60% of the country is covered by forest and 1/3 is protected land.
You'll feel like you've stepped into a landscape painting because as soon as you arrive the country's demanding vistas capture your attention. Not only will you experience azure lakes and encompassing snow-topped mountains but the varied landscape also brings dramatic valleys, gorges and aquamarine rivers cutting through the Soča Valley.
Lake Bled is a real-life fairy tale
Lake Bled is Slovenia's most famous beauty spot and draws visitors from all over the world, which is no surprise because the spectacular setting is like something out of a fairy tale.
The lake is surrounded by the snowcapped Julian alps and Bled Island sits tranquilly in the middle of the water, which is barely disturbed apart from the swans and traditional wooden boats that take visitors to and from the island.
The total distance around the lake is 6km and makes for the most scenic walk taking around an hour and a half. Along the way, you'll find pretty swimming spots, gorgeous views perfect for picture stops, cafes where you can indulge in the acclaimed Bled Cream Cake and you'll also come across the toboggan at Straza Bled. Take the chair lift to the top of the hill and enjoy the views as you ride down the side of the hill.
For the ultimate breathtaking view of the lake and surroundings climb up to Blejski grad (Bled Castle) or take a steep hike up Ojstrica to find a secluded spot that offers the most magnificent panoramic view of the lake.
It won't break the bank
In Slovenia, you'll be able to relax and enjoy your holiday knowing that your bank balance won't suffer. Although Slovenia's currency is the euro, the country is quite cheap compared to nearby countries such as Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
Things are priced much lower in Slovenia, wine, beer and coffee are remarkably cheap and you can dine out for as little as £10 a meal. In terms of food, transport and accommodation, Slovenia is amazingly affordable and your budget will stretch a lot further.
It's infamously safe and clean
Slovenia is one of the safest countries in the world with extremely low crime rates. It's ranked as the 8th safest country according to the Global Peace Index and ranks higher than both Japan and Norway. Life remains divinely undisturbed in Slovenia, parents still let their children play in the streets without worry and people feel safe enough to walk almost anywhere, even late at night.
Not only is the country safe but it's also incredibly clean. The country isn't just green in colour but it's also green in attitude and the preservation of Slovenia's land is a result of the respect that the Slovenes have for their environment. The streets are surprisingly immaculate, there are very low levels of litter, buildings are pristine and you won't find any chewing gum on the pavements. Virtually all major and minor roads have designated cycles lanes and the centre of the country's capital, Ljubljana, is car-free obligating National Geographic to name Slovenia the world's most sustainable country in 2018.
It's still an undiscovered country
This Central European country remains a secret that many are yet to discover. If you're the kind of traveller that prefers to explore off the beaten track free of crowds and surrounded by serenity, then head to Slovenia before it becomes overrun with tourists. You'll be astonished at how quiet and laid back even the most popular of places are.
The charming capital is captivating
Ljubljana is Slovenia's charismatic capital and its easygoing, reserved atmosphere is sure to steal your heart. Ljubljana's striking hilltop castle is perhaps its most treasured and visited landmark. You can reach the castle by funicular, walking paths, or public transport and once you're there you can enjoy the stunning views of the city from the Outlook Tower, delve into the Slovenian history or dine in one of the two award-winning restaurants.
The city has lots more to see and do such as; numerous museums, strolls along the Ljubljanica River, and bike rides around the attractive Tivoli park. The very centre of the city is car-free and means you can wander through the cobbled streets at ease whilst breathing in the fresh air or dine by the river without disturbance.
The locals are friendly and inviting
The Slovenes are very kind, friendly, welcoming and helpful. The majority go out of their way to assist anyone who needs it. Around 59% of Slovenians speak exceptional English and they are always keen to engage in conversation, however, it's always respectful to learn some key phrases before beginning your adventure, this will also help in lesser-known areas where it can be slightly more challenging to communicate.
If you're taking a taxi ride you can expect a good chit chat on your journey, waiting staff in restaurants are extremely hospitable and hotel/accommodation staff are always willing to go above and beyond.
Now it's time to start planning your trip just make sure you remember your Single Trip Insurance or Annual Travel Insurance policy.


VUCA – an environment of relentless Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. How do you get your HR function to lead your organization through a VUCA world?
For a decade now, HR has been undergoing a process of transformation. For many organisations however, this process has increasingly failed to produce the results expected of it. During these times of rapidly changing economics, HR is faced with a stark choice. It can either evolve and make a significant contribution to the business or be diminished and dispersed into the business and other functions.
Introducing the HR Business Partnering Model. In South Africa, many organisations have implemented the business partnering model which is seen as key to accelerating the evolution of the HR function. Most organisations are however struggling to understand how HR Business Partners should contribute to the business.
HR Business Partnering: A Custom Approach looks at the key challenges for HR Business Partners as trends associated with organisations that have implemented successful HR Business Partner models.

I am excited. We got our tickets today to go see the Rayados (stripes) play Atlas. The Rayados are actually named Monterrey, but their shirts are striped so they are also known as the Rayados. I have been told that being a Rayados fan is similar to being a Chicago Cubs fan. Since I have been a Chicago Cubs fan for many years, I think that I will fit right in with the Rayados fans.
I have been told that the games are usually televised on Galavision. You might be able to see me there. The game starts at 1700.


Development is about change. Change for the better. And all governments, irrespective of levels of development or political ideologies are interested in bringing about such change within their social and political systems. This may mean changing a health care system to benefit more poor and the elderly, or providing access to primary education for all. To do this, countries use all strategies and tools at their command to accelerate this process of change.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are among the powerful tools that nations seek to deploy. Sometimes, the link between ICTs and development goals appears clear; at other times, it seems fuzzy. Yet, across the world, billions of dollars are spent every single year by the governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector in ICT projects with the hope and intention of succeeding. Some succeed some fail. To know the reasons for their success or failure require an understanding of both ICTs and development. This primer seeks to provide an introduction to and preliminary understanding of the linkages between ICTs and the achievement of the human development goals in society. Today, this newly emerging academic discipline is called ICT for Development (ICTD or ICT4D).
We will use the term ICTD during the discussion in this primer. This primer is designed to provide background information that students in undergraduate and graduate programmes can use as a starting point in the exploration of the various dimensions of the linkages through case studies of ICT applications in key sectors of development in Asia- Pacific countries. The aim is to foster a better multidisciplinary understanding of how ICTs can be used for social and economic development, and to equip students of different fields, from engineering to the social sciences with the understanding needed to use ICTs to meet a country's development goals and needs. This primer can be used by all students, it does not focus on any aspect in detail; and it seeks to avoid the technical jargon that a specialized study of any aspect of ICTD may entail.

"Celtic Music for Guitar" by Allan Alexander contains 31 songs transcribed for guitar, most of them originating from Ireland and Scotland. The book also includes three charming original pieces written in the Celtic style by Allan. The music is presented in both music notation and guitar tablature (for people that do not read music). Play the beautiful haunting melodies of the Irish Harper O'Carolan, take a musical journey with dances that were written more than 400 years ago and experience Celtic traditional music that is the mainstay of modern players.
If you are learning and looking for great music, this is one book that you will not be able to put down. If you are a performer looking for high quality material, these great pieces, expertly arranged, will become part of your permanent repertoire.
The CD, played by Allan Alexander, gives the musician the advantage of being able to hear how these songs should be played by an expert in this genre of music and will make the learning process easier. Many of these pieces were written for the lute, however Allan has found that they work very well on guitar. Being an accomplished player of both lute and guitar, he has the knowledge to make accurate, musical transcriptions. Other pieces are traditional tunes that have been arranged specifically for guitar. Many of the selections have variations on the original melodies. This adds another dimension to pieces and enhances a performance. Allan is a professional performer and these selections are part of Allan's permanent repertoire.
I own several collections of celtic gutiar music, including the Mel Bay "Complete Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar book" but if i could only keep one, this would be it. Allexander's arrangements are excellent as is the selection. From well known carolan pieces to beautiful tunes from the Scotish and Irish traditions, from dance tunes to slow airs. The pieces also range in difficulty from the relatively simple to the intricate, though unlike many other books, the simple peices in here, like the Queen's Dream, are beautiful and worth playing no matter how good you are. The three original pieces in the book are not served well by their description as charming. "Heartland Air" doesn't look out of place in company with Carolan's tunes.The cd is excellent.

A couple of months back, I changed jobs. Previous: some ten years for Altera, on embedded drivers, cpu tests, and mostly on Java-based authoring tools. Current: working at Skype in Palo Alto, mostly on Java server-side stuff.
I showed up, and everyone was speaking backwards, with strange customs and habits, and mysterious acronyms. Going on about "artifacts" and "continuous integration" and "maven" and "ivy" and "nexus".
Maven = "Yeah... we should have just used Ant."
Ivy = "We have to use it for Nexus"
Nexus = It was the name of his sled.
Anyway, perhaps I'll check in from time to time with pithy observations about software engineering and testing and such. And occasional technical trivia.
The other day I was coding. I wasn't sure if it was afternoon or maybe evening… A single ray of red sunglight (dusk? dawn?) somehow found its way to a patch above my ergonomic chair. And my computer was strange. I had to put scrabble letters and plastic fish onto the screen just right, but they kept falling down. Also, my desk was sloped so the keyboard and mouse kept falling heavily into my lap, if I wasn't careful to keep holding them up.
I looked around the office, and all my coworkers were happily, frantically typing away. And also, putting scrabble letters onto their screens, and sometimes reaching into the screen to squishily adjust something or other. Far away someone shouted, "101100101!" and was rewarded with scattered polite chuckles.
They were all very old.
"Yes, yes, a feature!" offered another in a nearby cube.
"And we have frozen burritos!" a fourth added.
More conversation ensued in this odd fashion, voices chirping from nearby cubes. But I didn't understand. I wandered the aisles. One cube was decorated with a collection of old action figures, another with tiny bicycles, another with foam palm trees. And then I saw, posted in the break room, The Menu.
I was terrified. I would be discovered, and I'd be billed. I knew I'd done all these things. And then I thought, well, it is warm in here… it's better than being outside, in the rain, without a burrito.
I work in corporate setting, on a large team producing (essentially) a narrow-market shrinkwrap title. And we're getting very close to our ship-date.
This part of the development cycle is full of surprises. The basic code works, it's been demonstrated now and then to roomfuls of people. But. All the little niggling details you were hoping would just go away shall now come back as a barrage of little crises. (Or do they? I think some of them did just go away.) It's all about breaking or not breaking the build, urgent interdependencies discovered of a sudden, and… what about documentation.
Tiny details of this or that ripple up and down the directed acyclic org-chart graph as urgent phone calls, frantic emails. Executives suddenly take an interest in the placement of semicolons, recalling their own youths misspent as engineers. They just want to share the fun a little.
And somehow, branching the source tree just never becomes routine. You ever notice that? Every release is just a little different than the last one, and managing the branch is always an innocent experience, a rebirth. Everything old is new again.
The bugs roll in, the bugs roll out. Fixing a well-defined bug is so easy! It's a task and you can just do it and then it is done. Bug closed. So satisfying. Sure, maybe it's midnight, but heck, it's always midnight someplace.
And late stage architectural rejiggerings because… well, last chance before you ship. Heck. We're professionals, we can do it. I bet it'll work… yeah… I know: we'll write a unit test first!
This is the home stretch, the relentless passage of hours between Alpha and Beta and Shipping (always known by their local names), the deferred features and misfeatures, the awesome impact of integration. Aah, invigorating, no?
Yes, well… you know. Humor is how we deal with pain. Slapstick and ultraviolence. I'd say more, but I really gotta fix these bugs or Blevins upstairs will have my head.
Some time ago at the recommendation of a friend I perused a book called "On Dialog" by David Bohm. I never did quite figure out what his trip was. Physicist who meandered into the realm of the touchy-feelie later in life.
"On Dialog" was about how to establish and maintain… um… ur… an ongoing dialog. Like I said, wishy-squishy stuff. But one bit did stick with me, perhaps the one bit I was actually equipped to assimilate: Geometry matters.
Now, nobody would accuse me of being a master of social discourse and subtlety. And rightly un-so: I'm not. Figuring out how to even barely communicate with my fellow ape has been a conscious lifelong struggle. So you can trust me when I tell you I've thought this over and I think it's right: Mr Bohm claims that the best shape for a meeting is a circle. Amazing!
Hippies figured this out a long time ago, when they, aah, invented hacky sack (in 1972).
The concept scales reasonably well.
I vaguely recall something about English Knights sitting in a circle, say what?
The purpose of those trapezoid tables you sometimes find is at last revealed. They can be assembled in straight lines for standard authoritarian presentations, or arranged in swoops and arcs to facilitate more equal communication.
And this concludes my geometric pet-peeve weakly disguised as an informative posting.

Patrol Gearbox noise??
Member - craig W (NSW)
Hi ya all!! Ive got a rattlle in the gearbox Manual 4.2 deisel,It started after i had the usuall Blown 5 th gear fixed,as well as new clutch. Its at its noisyest when cold ,and when you press the clutch in it stops??? Any help would be appreciated, its been like it for 6 months now!! Just not to keen to travel to far away with it at the moment!! Cheers, Craig

Sounds more like a thrust bearing if it stops when you put the clutch in

Criag, I tend to agree with Graham here. This should have been sugessted to be changed while the box was out though, in my opinion. $20 bearing but $600 in labour to get to it if box is still attached to motor. Talk to your repairer Craig, as many would have just replaced this part as a standard "service" and included it in your bill. If this is the case you are obviously looking for something else causing the noise.
Trevor.

My GQ gearbox does the same.
Had the box out to replace flywheel and clutch and bearings about 3 years ago.
It is not a thrust bearing noise but a full blown rattle when cold. Sounds like there is a rock rolling around inside the box. Been like that for the past year. After while, when everything is warm, it goes quiet. Maybe a Nissan thing...lol. I just ignore it.
Reply By: Waynepd (NSW) - Wednesday, Apr 16, 2008 at 20:47
I get a similar noise at idle when pushing in and releasing the clutch,
My mech told me to get the bearing done when i get the clutch done, that was four or so years ago still haven't done the clutch hehehehehehe. No ill effects at this stage

G'day Waynepd
I wouldnt be to concerned about it mate, my old GU used to do it as well, i had the box rebuilt and that stopped it for a while , but after that it started again so i was concerned and had the bloody thing checked again by a different gearbox specialist, he told me it was a common thing with the patrol boxes.
Cheers.......Dave
sorry Wayne that reply was actually meant for Craig....

If this rattle sounds like the way Willem described it then it could be the same noise we used to hear in new 60 series diesel Cruisers when I was working on them years ago. The technical boys at Thiess Toyota, the State distributor for Toyota commercials, called it "roll over" noise and said it was caused by the clearance between the unloaded gears as they spun freely while the engine was idling in neutral. I can't remember it being a problem in petrol cars but it was very noticeable in diesels probably because it was amplified by the normal rattling of a diesel engine.
They said it was normal and would not cause any problems but it was very hard to convince some customers. One particular one would not accept it so Thiess authorised us to replace everything except the input and mainshaft. I rebuilt the box myself taking more care on it than I had ever done before but the noise came back halfway through a short test drive.
I have not worked on cars since those days so I don't know if later Toyotas, Patrols or anything else suffer from it.
There are a lot of things that can cause transmission noises but it is hard to work it out without hearing it.
Does the noise occur only in neutral while idling or can you hear it on the road? Will a slight touch on the clutch pedal stop it or do you have to push it right down? Does holding, moving or trying to lift the gear lever have any affect on it? If you can hear it on the road, does it get worse when slowing down in the lower gears while using engine braking?
It might not be a bad idea if you get two or three different opinions on it. I would not be too keen on getting too far away either until I knew exactly what it is.

Thanks for the input guys,probably not as concerned now,seems its just one of those things!!As willem said it sounds like theres a rock in the box!!My mate did the replacing 5 th gear job,hes a good mechanic has a patrol him self, at first i thought it was a thrust bearing,he got under it and straight away picked it to be coming from the box. Cant seem to hear the noise when on the road and moving! Only 1 things got me stumped now,It never did it untill the box was fixed after the blown 5 th gear??? Thats the weird part??He replaced all bearings & Clutch!! thanks 4 the help all!!! Craig!! I,ll just turn the c.d up higher!!!

You sure someone hasn't slipped a RoadRanger in while you weren't looking, that would explain the rattle.

I was extremely proud of "Why So Sidious," which I initially had as "Why So Serious" until I realized I was missing a prime gag. Googled it and realized about 100 people have used it before, including one particularly terrific piece of artwork by artist Joey Marsella*. I left it in only because it seemed the kind of thing "DS_Truth" would be all about. But for the record, I realize I'm not the first to make that particular connection.

International Soccer, ook bekend als Cup Final, is een videospel uit 1983 ontwikkeld door Andrew Spencer. Het spel werd verdeeld met videocassettes en spelcartridges. Het werd uitgegeven door Commodore.

Overzicht
International Soccer is een voetbal videospel voor de Commodore 64. Het kan gespeeld worden door twee spelers of door één speler tegen een AI-tegenstander. Elk team kan een aantal gekleurde outfits kiezen, en de AI-tegenstander is onderverdeeld in 9 verschillende moeilijkheidsniveaus. Het is een relatief simpel voetbalspel - er is geen buitenspelregel en geen mogelijkheid om een overtreding te maken op een tegenstander.

Elk spel is onderverdeeld in twee helften helften van 200 seconden. Er zijn geen verlengingen of penalty's. Er zijn zes kleuren waaruit een speler kan kiezen: rood, geel, blauw, grijs, wit en oranje. Het winnende team krijgt na het spel een gouden trofee overhandigd door een vrouw in een blauwe jurk.
