We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, inspired, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that the salvation of lost and sinful man and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and that by His in-dwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead and the eternal judgment of the just and the unjust.
Christian Center Church operates on the belief that every single person has a God-given purpose that they can achieve. Our goal is to point people to the risen Lord Jesus Christ and help them trust His guidance to achieve that potential on a daily basis.

Art Fair Preview, July 15
It's Art Fair time! The Ann Arbor Art Fair is a collective of four award-winning art fairs that take place every July in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. The event attracts over 500,000 visitors annually. The 2015 Art Fair will take place July 15-18, 2015. Together, the fairs attract over 500,000 attendees from across the nation. The Original Fair was named the Number One Art Fair in the country by AmericanStyle Magazine readers survey (October 2004) and has made the Top Ten Fairs and Festivals list every year since.
In addition to art exhibits, the fair also features music performances and Art Activity Zones, which are family-oriented stops offering special projects designed to engage and challenge even the youngest of fairgoers. Ann Arbor's downtown restaurants and retailers add to the festivities by tempting sidewalk sales and outdoor dining.
Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, The Original is the oldest of the four Ann Arbor Art Fairs and was established in 1960 by collaboration between the Ann Arbor Art Association, the University of Michigan, and two business groups. This fair is held around the Burton Carillon Tower, a clock tower on the central campus of the University of Michigan, and features almost 200 artists, along with a number of other hands-on activities and performances.
Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair transforms Ann Arbor's Main Street area into an impressive outdoor art festival showcasing the best in fine art and fine crafts. This award-winning, juried fair features ceramics, painting, jewelry, sculpture, photography, glass, wood, fiber and much more! Fairgoers can also enjoy lively street corner entertainment, artists' demonstrations, children's activities and the distinctive shops and restaurants of Ann Arbor.
State Street Area Art Fair is a nationally recognized and award winning art fair that combines the talents of 325 artists with a host of merchant displays along the vibrant streets of Ann Arbor's campus area.
Ann Arbor's South University Art Fair features almost 150 artists and is where the past meets the future. Cutting edge creations blend with traditional styles, and local and international artists combine to produce the unmistakable flavor that epitomizes the youngest of the Ann Arbor Art Fairs. Great ethnic restaurants, hip and quirky stores, and plenty of easy access parking at the Forest Parking Deck make South U. the best possible starting place for your Art Fair adventure.

Then the nun Uppalavaṇṇā, having dressed in the morning time, after picking up her bowl and robe, was entering Sāvatthī for alms. After walking for alms in Sāvatthī, and returning from the alms-round after the meal, she approached the Blind Man's Wood to pass the day, and having entered Blind Man's Wood, she stood at the root of a Sāla tree in full flower.
I will stand between (your) eyelashes: Comm: between (your) eyelashes means on the bridge of (your) nose, between (your) two eyes, I will stand, and you will not (be able to) see me.04 (even there) you will not see me.
Then the Wicked Māra (thought): "The nun Uppalavaṇṇā knows me!" and pained and depressed he vanished right there.

Living here in Minnesota next to the "Great White North," flights to and from Canada are a daily occurrence. Many of my clients have cabins in Canada. My charter clients fly passengers to the various lodges during the prime Canadian fishing season. One issue that has been discussed with greater frequency lately is the effect a driving-while-intoxicated ("DWI") or driving-under-the-influence ("DUI") conviction has on a person's ability to fly to and from Canada.
According to the Canadian Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, if you have committed or been convicted of a criminal offense, you are considered "inadmissible" and may not be allowed to enter Canada. If you have a criminal conviction and you fly to Canada without rehabilitation, as discussed below, the immigration officer who meets you at the airport of entry may advise that you will not be allowed to enter Canada and ask you to return immediately to the U.S. or the officer may arrest, detain and/or remove you from Canada. (Not a good situation in either event).
Criminal offenses include both minor (shoplifting, theft, assault, dangerous driving, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of illegal substances, etc.) and serious (theft, assault, manslaughter, dangerous driving or driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol) offenses. Canada regards DWI/DUI convictions as extremely serious offenses. (A list of criminal offenses in Canada is available here).
If you have a DWI/DUI conviction, you are, upon initial review, considered to be "inadmissible". However, depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding the conviction, the time elapsed and your behavior since the conviction, you may no longer be considered inadmissible to Canada. You may be permitted to fly to Canada if: you are able to satisfy an immigration officer that you meet the legal requirement to be deemed rehabilitated or you have applied for individual rehabilitation and your application has been approved.
Even if you have a DWI/DUI conviction, through the mere passage of time following the conviction, you may be "deemed" rehabilitated and allowed to fly to Canada. (You are rehabilitated if you lead a stable life and you are unlikely to be involved in any further criminal activity.) In order to be "deemed" rehabilitated, at least 5 years and as many as 10 years must have passed since you completed the sentence imposed for your conviction. The clock only starts ticking after the sentence has ended. As an example, if you were sentenced to 12 months in jail but only served one month, the rehabilitation period would not start until after the 12 months had elapsed, rather than after the one month you actually served.
Deemed rehabilitation also depends upon whether you have committed one or more offenses. In all cases, you may only be deemed rehabilitated if the offense(s) committed would be punishable in Canada by a maximum term of imprisonment of less than 10 years (which is quite likely with a DWI/DUI). You do not need to apply to be deemed rehabilitated. However, you may want to contact a Canadian embassy or consulate before you depart to avoid any confusion or problems with a Canadian immigration officer upon arrival at your airport of entry.
If you are inadmissible and are not eligible for "deemed rehabilitation," you may still be able to overcome the inadmissibility fly to Canada. However, you will need to apply for "individual rehabilitation". To apply, at least five years must have passed since you completed all your criminal sentences. You must submit a completed Immigration Form 1444-Application for Criminal Rehabilitation to the Canadian visa office in your area and pay a processing fee. The application requests personal information including your name, family members, addresses and employers for the last 10 years, purpose of your visit to Canada, the criminal offense for which you were convicted and a detailed description of the events and circumstances leading to the conviction, reasons why you consider yourself to be rehabilitated and why you do not present a risk to public safety.
In addition to the information you disclose on the application, you may also need to supply court records relating to your conviction(s), reports of probation or parole officers, a copy of the statute under which you were convicted and three letters from persons of standing in the community who know you and can attest to your rehabilitation. Also, a fee of either $200 or $1,000, depending upon the severity of the criminal conviction and whether authority from the Minister will be required for approval, must be submitted with the application for individual rehabilitation.
Upon receipt of your application, an immigration officer will review it and any supporting documents. When reviewing your application, the immigration officer will consider (1) the number of offences and the circumstances and seriousness of each offence; (2) your behavior since committing the offence(s); (3) your explanation of the offences and why you are not likely to re-offend; (4) any support you receive from your community; (5) why you think you are rehabilitated; and (6) your present circumstances.
If you are eligible to apply, the officer will make a positive or negative recommendation and forward the application to the authority who can approve or refuse applications for rehabilitation. For less serious offenses, the authority is usually the manager of the local office. For more serious offenses, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration will make the decision. In either instance, the authority is not bound by the immigration officer's recommendation.
Applications for rehabilitation can take over a year to process. The Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration will notify you in writing of the decision it makes on your application. If you receive Approval of Rehabilitation, this will permanently remove the inadmissibility caused by your conviction.
Canada has some spectacular fly-in opportunities to enjoy truly beautiful scenario, whether you are hunting, fishing or camping. If you are planning to fly to our northern neighbor and you have a DWI/DUI conviction, plan ahead to ensure you will be able to reach your destination and enjoy the opportunities Canada has to offer.

Top UNITE HERE Labor Leaders Slam Trump Honduran TPS Termination : UNITE HERE!
Washington, DC – Today as the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status for Honduran immigrants, UNITE HERE called for immediate congressional action to create a pathway to citizenship for these TPS holders who have lived and worked legally in America for decades.
UNITE HERE represents thousands of TPS holders across America, including many Honduran, Haitian, and El Salvadoran immigrants. TPS holders have largely lived in America for decades, and are central fixtures in their communities as homeowners, dedicated employees, and parents to American-born children. The hospitality industry has a disproportionately large number of long-time TPS workers from various nations, and would face devastating economic consequences if this year's TPS terminations are not reversed. The union has played a central role in the fight against TPS terminations.

888sport, the online sports betting brand of 888, has entered a partnership with RB Leipzig, marking its first deal with a football club in Germany's top-tier Bundesliga.
The partnership will run until at least 2023, with 888sport to serve as an official partner of the club.
888sport branding will appear on various surfaces around the team's Red Bull Arena, as well as on the club's digital channels.
The operator will also become the presenter of the RBL predictor game, which gives fans the chance to win prizes such as signed shirts and tickets over the course of the season.
"As in the rest of football, we are always looking to strengthen in the area of partnerships, especially those who fit our philosophy and orientation," RB Leipzig chief commercial officer Matthias Reichwald said.
"We have found one of these in 888sport and we're proud that 888sport sees us as a suitable partner for their first entry into the Bundesliga. 888sport is an established brand which would like to grow further on a national and international level, which exactly corresponds to our vision, and now we can take on this challenge together."
888's vice president and head of sport, Kieran Spellman, added: "We can't wait to support the club with their future development and do our part to help RB Leipzig continue to establish themselves as one of the top three teams in Germany.
"This comes alongside the regulation and successful licensing for 888sport in the German online sports betting market. This partnership is a signal of 888sport's long-term commitment to Germany."

If the meaning of yoga is understood as the practice of nirodha (mental control), then its goal is "the unqualified state of niruddha (the perfection of that process)",[147] according to Baba Hari Dass. In that context, "yoga (union) implies duality (as in joining of two things or principles); the result of yoga is the nondual state", and "as the union of the lower self and higher Self. The nondual state is characterized by the absence of individuality; it can be described as eternal peace, pure love, Self-realization, or liberation."[148]
Yoga is discussed in the ancient foundational Sutras of Hindu philosophy. The Vaiśeṣika Sūtra of the Vaisheshika school of Hinduism, dated to have been composed sometime between 6th and 2nd century BCE discusses Yoga.[note 14] According to Johannes Bronkhorst, an Indologist known for his studies on early Buddhism and Hinduism and a professor at the University of Lausanne, Vaiśeṣika Sūtra describes Yoga as "a state where the mind resides only in the soul and therefore not in the senses".[120] This is equivalent to pratyahara or withdrawal of the senses, and the ancient Sutra asserts that this leads to an absence of sukha (happiness) and dukkha (suffering), then describes additional yogic meditation steps in the journey towards the state of spiritual liberation.[120]
The origins of yoga are a matter of debate.[44] There is no consensus on its chronology or specific origin other than that yoga developed in ancient India. Suggested origins are the Indus Valley Civilization (3300–1900 BCE)[45] and pre-Vedic Eastern states of India,[46] the Vedic period (1500–500 BCE), and the śramaṇa movement.[47] According to Gavin Flood, continuities may exist between those various traditions:
Organized interventions to improve health based on the principles and procedures developed through the health sciences are provided by practitioners trained in medicine, nursing, nutrition, pharmacy, social work, psychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy and other health care professions. Clinical practitioners focus mainly on the health of individuals, while public health practitioners consider the overall health of communities and populations. Workplace wellness programs are increasingly adopted by companies for their value in improving the health and well-being of their employees, as are school health services in order to improve the health and well-being of children.
a technique for entering into other bodies, generating multiple bodies, and the attainment of other supernatural accomplishments; these are, states White, described in Tantric literature of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as the Buddhist Sāmaññaphalasutta;[41] James Mallinson, however, disagrees and suggests that such fringe practices are far removed from the mainstream Yoga's goal as meditation-driven means to liberation in Indian religions.[42]
Sandow was so successful at flexing and posing his physique that he later created several businesses around his fame, and was among the first to market products branded with his name. He was credited with inventing and selling the first exercise equipment for the masses: machined dumbbells, spring pulleys, and tension bands. Even his image was sold by the thousands in "cabinet cards" and other prints. Sandow was a perfect "Gracilian", a standard of ideal body proportions close to those of ancient Greek and Roman statues. Men's physiques were then judged by how closely they matched these proportions.
Many non-competitive bodybuilders choose not to adopt this conventional strategy, as it often results in significant unwanted fat gain during the "bulking" phase. The attempt to increase muscle mass in one's body without any gain in fat is called clean bulking. Competitive bodybuilders focus their efforts to achieve a peak appearance during a brief "competition season".[citation needed] Clean bulking takes longer and is a more refined approach to achieving the body fat and muscle mass percentage a person is looking for. A common tactic for keeping fat low and muscle mass high would be to have higher calorie and lower calorie days to maintain a balance between gain and loss. Many clean bulk diets start off with a moderate amount of carbs, moderate amount of protein, and a decently low amount of fats. "Gaining lean muscle means going for leaner cuts of meat, like flank steaks and fillets, chicken, and, of course, fish," says White[who?]. "Enjoy your meat with some starch: rice, beans, quinoa, whole-grain couscous, or sweet potato, for example".[20] To maintain a clean bulk it is important to reach calorie goals every day. Macronutrient goals will be different for each person, but, it is ideal to get as close as possible.
Yoga may have pre-Vedic elements.[45][46] Some state yoga originated in the Indus Valley Civilization.[51] Marshall,[52] Eliade[10] and other scholars note that the Pashupati seal discovered in an Indus Valley Civilization site depicts a figure in a position resembling an asana used for meditation, Mulabandhasana. This interpretation is considered speculative and uncertain by more recent analysis of Srinivasan[10] and may be a case of projecting "later practices into archeological findings".[53]
The Bhakti movement was a development in medieval Hinduism which advocated the concept of a personal God (or "Supreme Personality of Godhead"). The movement was initiated by the Alvars of South India in the 6th to 9th centuries, and it started gaining influence throughout India by the 12th to 15th centuries.[177] Shaiva and Vaishnava bhakti traditions integrated aspects of Yoga Sutras, such as the practical meditative exercises, with devotion.[178] Bhagavata Purana elucidates the practice of a form of yoga called viraha (separation) bhakti. Viraha bhakti emphasizes one pointed concentration on Krishna.[179]
^ "Sidang Media – Fatwa Yoga". Islam.gov.my. Archived from the original on 6 January 2009. Retrieved 5 September 2010. Quote: The Fatwas of Religious Council in Islamic affairs on Yoga. After carefully studied various reports and factual data, the Council unanimously agreed that this ancient India religious teachings, which involves physical and mental exercises, are Hinduism in nature known as wahdat al-wujud philosophy (oneness of existence; the realization of identity between the Self in man, Atman; and the Divine, BRAHMAN: 'Brahman is all, and Atman is Brahman'). It is prohibited (haram) for Muslims to practice it.
The first known appearance of the word "yoga", with the same meaning as the modern term, is in the Katha Upanishad,[10][95] probably composed between the fifth and third century BCE,[96][97] where it is defined as the steady control of the senses, which along with cessation of mental activity, leading to a supreme state.[67][note 13] Katha Upanishad integrates the monism of early Upanishads with concepts of samkhya and yoga. It defines various levels of existence according to their proximity to the innermost being Ātman. Yoga is therefore seen as a process of interiorization or ascent of consciousness.[99][100] It is the earliest literary work that highlights the fundamentals of yoga. White states:
The Bhagavad Gita ('Song of the Lord') is part of the Mahabharata and also contains extensive teachings on Yoga. According to According to Mallinson and Singleton, the Gita "seeks to appropriate yoga from the renunciate milieu in which it originated, teaching that it is compatible with worldly activity carried out according to one's caste and life stage; it is only the fruits of one's actions that are to be renounced."[109] In addition to an entire chapter (ch. 6) dedicated to traditional yoga practice, including meditation,[113] it introduces three prominent types of yoga:[114]
According to Georg Feuerstein, Laya yoga (yoga of dissolution or merging) "makes meditative absorption (laya) its focus. The laya-yogin seeks to transcend all memory traces and sensory experiences by dissolving the microcosm, the mind, in the transcendental Self-Consciousness."[276] There are various forms and techniques of Laya yoga, including listening to the "inner sound" (nada), practicing various mudras like Khechari mudra and Shambhavi mudra as well as techniques meant to awaken a spiritual energy in the body (kundalini).[277]
A yoga system that predated the Buddhist school is Jain yoga. But since Jain sources postdate Buddhist ones, it is difficult to distinguish between the nature of the early Jain school and elements derived from other schools.[89] Most of the other contemporary yoga systems alluded in the Upanishads and some Buddhist texts are lost to time.[90][91][note 12]
Alexander the Great reached India in the 4th century BCE. Along with his army, he took Greek academics with him who later wrote memoirs about geography, people and customs they saw. One of Alexander's companion was Onesicritus, quoted in Book 15, Sections 63–65 by Strabo, who describes yogins of India.[107] Onesicritus claims those Indian yogins (Mandanis ) practiced aloofness and "different postures – standing or sitting or lying naked – and motionless".[108]
The bulking and cutting strategy is effective because there is a well-established link between muscle hypertrophy and being in a state of positive energy balance.[19] A sustained period of caloric surplus will allow the athlete to gain more fat-free mass than they could otherwise gain under eucaloric conditions. Some gain in fat mass is expected, which athletes seek to oxidize in a cutting period while maintaining as much lean mass as possible.
The Gita consists of 18 chapters and 700 shlokas (verses),[118] with each chapter named as a different yoga, thus delineating eighteen different yogas.[118][119] Some scholars divide the Gita into three sections, with the first six chapters with 280 shlokas dealing with Karma yoga, the middle six containing 209 shlokas with Bhakti yoga, and the last six chapters with 211 shlokas as Jnana yoga; however, this is rough because elements of karma, bhakti and jnana are found in all chapters.[118]
The first Hindu teacher to actively advocate and disseminate aspects of yoga, not including asanas, to a western audience, Swami Vivekananda, toured Europe and the United States in the 1890s.[204] The reception which Swami Vivekananda received built on the active interest of intellectuals, in particular the New England Transcendentalists, among them Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), who drew on German Romanticism and philosophers and scholars like G. W. F. Hegel (1770–1831), the brothers August Wilhelm Schlegel (1767–1845) and Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel (1772–1829), Max Mueller (1823–1900), Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860), and others who had (to varying degrees) interests in things Indian.[205][206]
Alexander Wynne observes that formless meditation and elemental meditation might have originated in the Upanishadic tradition.[93] The earliest reference to meditation is in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, one of the oldest Upanishads.[67] Chandogya Upanishad describes the five kinds of vital energies (prana). Concepts used later in many yoga traditions such as internal sound and veins (nadis) are also described in the Upanishad.[59] Taittiriya Upanishad defines yoga as the mastery of body and senses.[94]
Equipment required? No. You don't need any equipment because you'll rely on your own body weight for resistance. But you'll probably want to use a yoga mat to keep you from sliding around in standing poses, and to cushion you while in seated and lying positions. Other, optional equipment includes a yoga ball for balance, a yoga block or two, and straps to help you reach for your feet or link your hands behind your back.

Weight loss can cause low blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus who also take medicines used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (such as insulin or sulfonylureas). You should check your blood sugar before you start taking Qsymia and while you take Qsymia.

Monier-Williams, A Sanskrit Dictionary (1899)
The tantra yoga practices include asanas and breathing exercises. The Nyingma tradition practices Yantra yoga (Tib. "Trul khor"), a discipline that includes breath work (or pranayama), meditative contemplation and other exercises.[190] In the Nyingma tradition, the path of meditation practice is divided into further stages,[191] such as Kriya yoga, Upa yoga, Yoga yana, Mahā yoga, Anu yoga and Ati yoga.[192] The Sarma traditions also include Kriya, Upa (called "Charya"), and Yoga, with the Anuttara yoga class substituting for Mahayoga and Atiyoga.[193]

Archived 16 June 2013 at the Wayback Machine [accessed 19 September 2013] pgs. 2 "The earliest references to hathayoga are scattered mentions in Buddhist canonical works and their exegesis dating from the eighth century onwards, in which it is the soteriological method of last resort."
In the early 2000s, the IFBB was attempting to make bodybuilding an Olympic sport. It obtained full IOC membership in 2000 and was attempting to get approved as a demonstration event at the Olympics, which would hopefully lead to it being added as a full contest. This did not happen and Olympic recognition for bodybuilding remains controversial since many argue that bodybuilding is not a sport.[11]

Looking tired and sallow and drained of her customary glow, Lindsay Lohan marches grimly through this mechanical tween comedy as if it were a particularly tedious homework assignment. Which it is.
Lohan is a disappointment. The liveliness and charisma she displayed in previous efforts like Freaky Friday and Mean Girls is not in evidence here. Too often, her performance is flat and routine - a by-the-book reading that could be accomplished by any actress in her age range. There are also scenes in which she looks tired (consider the early elevator sequence where she meets Mr. Rich Guy With Great Hair). Usually makeup takes care of this sort of thing, but not here. It's too early to write off Lohan, but she needs to bring more to future roles if she wants to stay in the spotlight.

Growing so fast
A popular Bandra destination helmed by Chef Boo Kim will soon open its doors at Worli, your diarist has learnt. Shilpa Shetty-Kundra, a director of the hospitality firm behind the project, is just as excited about the stylish interiors at this venue as Chef Kim is about the menu. "It's a labour of love resulting from many months of painstaking effort from a very creative, award winning team," shares Shilpa. She also hints at another outlet opening in Delhi soon. After such a lull, it's great to see a rejuvenated hospitality business.
Much to look forward to
RACHEL Goenka announced her pregnancy a few days ago. The talented chef and entrepreneur told your diarist she's "been busy baking", and that the baby is due in April 2021. "We couldn't be happier," said Goenka, who is married to Karan Khetarpal. The couple's son Kabir, who will turn three in January, is super excited and can't wait to have a sibling. "He keeps asking questions about when the baby's going to come," said Goenka, happily.
THE world was taken in by the news of celebrations in this household in London this festive season. We hear the reality is far from what it was made out to be. Not only is the relatively-new daughter-in-law still unwelcome because of her past, we are told that a joint celebration would be next to impossible, given the ill-will between family members. The environment is so toxic, it's barely liveable, we hear. The senior brothers refuse to even share the same elevator, let alone a puja thaali.

Agony is a fitting name for Madmind Studios' troubled debut. The developer's first swing at a AAA title surmounts to nothing more than a proving ground for gamers with limited patience. With high expectations set for its backers and a few goals beyond the studio's ability, Agony is a glitch riddled torture device that the developers couldn't have imagined.
We all have a universal understanding of Hell, but Madmind Studios wants to add their own surreal twist with agony. Structures crafted with blood and bones surround you as the souls of the damned wallow as you delve deep in to the underworld and your only objective is to escape. With no memories, you'll pursue the rumoured Red Goddess, a demon that's rumoured as the saviour of the damned, to escape this waking nightmare you've found yourself in.
It's Madmind's commitment to the most ludicrous and outlandish looking Hell in games doesn't go unnoticed. Mutilated bodies are abundant, the demons repulsive, and ramblings are scrawled into the wall in blood, creating sights that you won't soon forget. Whilst the crude nature of Agony's Hell draws you in, it's the encroaching darkness that hinders your progress and ultimately dilutes its visual prowess. Light sources are scarce, with the exception of some sporadic torches, and it makes Agony a chore to explore. The lighting was so poor that I had to play with the settings and increase the gamma to a point in which the visuals suffered further for the sake of visibility.
Beyond its unique approach to Hell, Agony follows the trends of all the popular survival horror titles, like Outlast and Alien: Isolation. Players have no means of defence and must rely on their ability to run and hide from enemies to progress. The monsters that inhabit the world are faster, tougher, and will kill on sight, forcing you to outwit them through distractions or avoiding them completely. It's just a shame that stealth is an absolute nightmare thanks to your foe's heightened senses. Many of the corridors within Hell are one way passages and are near impossible to navigate thanks to the extremely capable demons.
Audio queues are meant to alleviate the stress of stealth by signalling enemy movement with heavy footsteps, but the Xbox One version is plagued with audio bugs. Humming over the ambience noise of Agony is a constant static that's only surpassed in annoyance by audio fragmentation. This static, on more than one occasion, reached a pitch so high that it was physically impossible to continue playing and required a full hard reset and power cycle of my Xbox One to rectify whatever was happening. It's a massive detriment to Agony's design and there appears to be no solution or patch to fix this seemingly unstoppable bug at the time of writing this review.
Thanks to ongoing bugs and punishing design, you'll rack up countless deaths in Agony and indulge in more torment in the form of its horrendous checkpoint system. The checkpoints are based on lives and for every 3 deaths you revert to the previous checkpoint. It's frustrating and unbelievably tedious at times, not to mention the bugs that come with failing a checkpoint in which enemy placements bug and prevent any further progress – especially when it comes to the stealth sections.
In an attempt to spice up the gameplay, Agony also introduces puzzles that require you to collect a set number of offerings and place them at an altar or sigil based mix'n'match type ordeals. The puzzles are often very limited in scope and never stray from the two types, other than wading through complete darkness without a torch – which is more of a design flaw than it is a puzzle. Either way, the puzzles never quite sit right and they more than outstay their welcome.
Progression takes a great deal of patience, patience that I don't have for Agony. Problems surfaced with every iota of success. Even the graphics themselves seemed to give up as areas failed to render and textures became ropey. There is a noticeable divide in graphic quality when comparing the design of the Onoskelis and Baphomets to the other enemies in Agony and its environment, the most notable of which being the Red Goddess who appeared to be rendered incorrectly. Everything just seemed to slowly deteriorate as the water slowly faded and the shore became indecipherable from the walls, it was almost as if the Devil himself was experimenting with tie-dye paint. And then you have a whole load of excessive screen tearing to add on top of the actual visual complications, completing Agony's transition from game to assault on all senses.
My only reprieve from this suffering was when I decided to step away and look at what could have been in the safe confines of the extras menu. It's here that you get a far better glimpse of what Madmind Studios had intended to create. That's a tonne of concept art, prototype models, and a plethora of notes to wade through. I actually feel like I got more enjoyment out of the additional content than I did the main game.
I could talk ad infinitum about the bugs and frustrations of Agony, but continued flagellation would serve no purpose. Agony promised cloven hoofed nightmares chasing you through the underworld, but delivered a totally different kind hell for its players. It's not fit for human, nor monster, and in dire need of an update before it can be described as playable thanks to its diabolical bugs.
Puzzle are bland and repetitive.
Plagued with graphical and technical bugs.

in 1970s, Pedro Lazaga
Vente a Alemania, Pepe (Come to Germany, Pepe – 1971)
Directed by Pedro Lazaga
Written by Vicente Coello and Vicente Escrivá
Starring: Alfredo Landa, Tina Sáinz, José Sacristán
BY RAQUEL MARTÍNEZ
Economic crises and unemployment have caused Spanish natives to find work abroad in different periods of recent history. For Spaniards, top European economies (specially Germany) are often regarded as promised lands ̶ places where virtually anyone can get a fairly paid job. Recent films such as Perdiendo el norte (Off-course – Nacho García Velilla, 2014) and Un franco, 14 pesetas (Crossing Borders – Carlos Iglesias, 2006) have provided diverse perspectives on Spanish emigration to Europe. Within this context, the 1970s comedy Vente a Alemania, Pepe (Come to Germany, Pepe – Pedro Lazaga, 1971) is considered the 'protofilm' in the popular Spanish imagery.
The film tells the story of Pepe (Alfredo Landa), a young(ish) Spaniard living in a tiny rural village in Aragón. Pepe works as electrician, altar boy, farmer, and whatever job that comes his way. When show-off Angelino (José Sacristán) returns from Germany for a short holiday, Pepe is stunned by his friend's stories (i.e. lies) about the Teutonic land. Angelino lives in Munich, owns a Mercedes, dresses in a coconut fibre suit and, most importantly for Pepe, is a true Don Juan for the German ladies. None of it, of course, is true. In spite of his girlfriend Pilar's opposition (Tina Sáinz), Pepe decides to move to Germany. Once there, Pepe realises that the life prospects for Spaniards working abroad do not entirely match Angelino's over positive description.
For years, Spanish critics have referred to Vente a Alemania, Pepe as an españolada – a pejorative term for popular Spanish films often associated with Francoism. The choice of Alfredo Landa seems to justify this idea. After all, it was due to the frequent screen appearances of this comic actor that the term landismo was coined. In his sexy comedies, Alfredo Landa usually portrayed an average-looking, stereotypical Spaniard with an insatiable thirst for European girls. Indeed, there is a touch of landismo here, as Pepe chases German females tirelessly. Most times, though, Pepe falls victim of his own misfortunes, as greed and lust are (expectedly) punished.
More than four decades after its release, Vente a Alemania, Pepe reveals more nuanced sub-meanings. The comedic tone that characterises the first act of the film merges with melodramatic touches as the plot moves forward. This is highlighted by a group of secondary characters who are staying in the same boarding house as Angelino and Pepe. A young couple, María and Miguel (interpreted by real-life partners Gemma Cuervo and Fernando Guillén) are saving up to open a petrol station near their village. Their dreams come to an end when Maria finds out that she is pregnant, and she and Miguel are forced to give up on their dream. As most characters, Miguel and María are overcome with nostalgia (the Galician word morriña stands for an irremediable longing for the native land). Aware of the vicissitudes that the unexpected future may bring, María and Miguel return to Spain to bring up their child in a more familiar environment.
More interestingly, the character of Don Emilio (Antonio Ferrandis) provides a subtle political tone to the film. Don Emilio is a political exile unable to return to Spain due to his involvement with the Republicans during the war, although this is never made explicit in the film. This character becomes more relevant if we consider that Pedro Lazaga, who directed the film, was a Republican survivor himself. After spending a few years in a Francoist concentration camp, Lazaga paid his dues by joining the Blue Division (Franco's special platoon of 10000 volunteers who were sent to fight Stalin's troops in Russia). Taking this context into account, the character of Don Emilio could be interpreted in two ways. Is he being punished for opposing the Establishment, thus forced to remain in exile? Or is he a Republican hero who would not give up his ideals even if that entails never going back? To contemporary audiences, the warm treatment of Ferrandis' character may suggest the latter.
In spite of this possible interpretation, there is no explicit mention of Spain's political or economic situation at the time. The reasons for travelling to Germany are always down to the main characters' urge to finance their projects, and not to social and economic difficulties in Spain. This is emphasised by Pepe, who has more than three jobs in the village, but dreams about having his own dairy. Controversial aspects remain ambiguous, as the finger could never be pointed at Franco's Government. The fact that there were so many Spaniards abroad is never questioned in the film.

UT Athletics Receives $2 Million Gift Toward Proposed Indoor Tennis Facility
Former University of Texas at Austin men's tennis player Graham Whaling has contributed $2 million to UT Athletics to be applied toward the construction of a proposed indoor tennis facility.
AUSTIN, Texas—Former University of Texas at Austin men's tennis player Graham Whaling has contributed $2 million to UT Athletics to be applied toward the construction of a proposed indoor tennis facility.
"We thank Graham Whaling for stepping up and providing this major gift for what should be a very popular sports facility in Austin," said UT Men's Director of Athletics DeLoss Dodds. "The proposed tennis center is still in the planning and fundraising stage. Once the necessary funds are secured, the project will be presented to UT President Bill Powers and the Board of Regents for their approvals."
Whaling's relationship with the university dates back to 1972 when as a freshman he played for former coach Dave Snyder in his first season as the Longhorns' coach.
Whaling, who heads an investment banking advising firm in Houston, played at Texas from 1972-76 and compiled a 44-25 singles record. He served as the team captain during his senior season.
"I developed a close relationship with Coach Snyder," Whaling said. "I continue to feel an allegiance to the program and an appreciation for what Coach Snyder did for the program and what Coach (Michael) Center continues to do for the program today."
Although Austin's typically pleasant weather provides ample outdoor practice opportunities throughout the fall and spring tennis seasons, those opportunities are occasionally halted due to inclement weather. Mindful of the need for an indoor tennis facility, Center joined in to help existing fundraising efforts upon his arrival at Texas in 2000.
"I was approached by other former players and Coach Center regarding the need for an indoor tennis facility," Whaling said. "A portion of the required funds had been raised, but UT needed additional funding. I began speaking with Coach Center regarding this facility about a year ago. I'm happy to be able to make a contribution."
It is a contribution that ultimately will benefit the Central Texas tennis community in addition to the Texas men's and women's tennis programs.
"Graham Whaling has made a contribution that will impact Texas tennis and the entire Austin tennis community for years to come," Center said. "I can't say how appreciative we are to have someone like Graham to be involved in this project. I am very thankful to Graham and happy that he found our indoor tennis project something that he was so passionate about to offer his support.
"Our tennis programs are greatly indebted to Graham Whaling," added UT head women's tennis coach Patty Fendick-McCain. "An indoor tennis facility would help our programs immensely, and Mr. Whaling's contribution goes a long way toward making this a reality."

Hooray for Harry
Harry T. Lewis Jr. grew up in Denver's Park Hill neighborhood, earned an MBA from Dartmouth, served as a leader in the investment world and spearheaded numerous projects that addressed Denver's growth, planning and future development.
On Nov. 1, Colorado Bright Beginnings honored him for these contributions and more at a dinner held in the Donald R. Seawell Grand Ballroom.
"Harry truly understands the value of early childhood development and the
importance of providing parents with support and encouragement to shape
their children's lives," observes Kyle Seedorf, vice chair of the Bright Beginnings board. "We are honored that he is helping us get the message out about the power parents have to influence their children's
Founded by then-Gov. Roy Romer and the late Brad Butler, a retired chief executive for Procter & Gamble, the nonprofit organization provides Colorado parents with guidance, knowledge and tools to create a bright beginning for their children during the critical first three years of life.

The tradition continues
By The Denver Post
Even though the Blizzard of 2006 paralyzed much of Colorado, it couldn't stop a holiday tradition that has taken place every year since 1956: the Denver Debutante Ball.
We described the lengths to which some of the principals had to go in order to make it to the Dec. 22 presentation, dinner and dance held at the Brown Palace Hotel in a story that appeared both in print and online (the online version can be seen below this post), so today we'll focus on the debs themselves, their activities and achievements. Read more…


At first glance, it may look like an innocuous metal triangle more suited for art projects than for home projects, but a Speed Square can be your most powerful ally in so many home remodel projects.
Nearly a century old, Speed Square is a renowned measuring tool patented and trademarked by the Swanson Company, which still manufactures the tool from its Frankfort, Illinois headquarters. Stanley, Irwin, DeWalt, Empire and a host of other tool companies produce similar products, but only the one made by Swanson is called a Speed Square.
How can a single piece of heavy-gauge aluminum with no moving parts attract so many fans? Speed Square's true secret lies in the dense congregation of information and features packed on its face: a lipped fence, deeply incised numbers, holes, notches and cut-outs.
It's these features that make this a highly functional yet very low-cost tool for scribing, marking and cutting. The accompanying 59 page "Swanson's Little Blue Book" is legendary in fine carpentry and roofing trades for helping translate Speed Square measurements into the real world.
As a do-it-yourselfer, don't be put off by Speed Square's emphasis on laying out stairways and roofs. Even though few homeowners will ever cut their own stair stringers, and even fewer will install roof rafters and trusses, this doesn't mean that your Speed Square is off-limits to casual DIYers. Speed Square does do a couple of things that no other tool can do, but Speed Square's greatest advantage is as a fast, easy-to-read substitute for other tools that are bulkier or more difficult to pull out and get working.
You Need to: Cut two pieces of flat trim or any material each at 45 degree angles. You want to form a 90 degree angle with those pieces.
Example Applications: Installing door or window trim.
How to: You can always haul out your electric miter saw or hunt for the manual miter box, but with Speed Square next to you in your toolbox, you can lay the square against the trim and create quick 45 degree pencil marks with the square. Do not cut directly against the square. Instead, remove the square and cut by following the line.
You Need to: Find out if something is level and if not, exactly how many degrees out of level it is.
Example Applications: Use for hanging cabinets, installing countertops, doors or windows or just about anything in your home that must be dead-level.
How to: If you don't have or can't find your bubble or laser level, you can use Speed Square for this. Remarkably, it's almost preferable to using a bubble level because you can measure the exact deviation down the degree.
On the Speed Square, locate the groove marked as 'Pivot." Place the Speed Square on the material with the pivot end up. Drape a string (such as a chalk snap line) over the Speed Square, resting in the pivot groove. Weight the hanging end of the string with a light weight such as a bolt. If the work material is level, the string will hit the 45 degree mark.
You Need to: Lop off a 2x4, yet do it quickly and perfectly square.
Example Applications: Cutting 2x4s is one of the most common activities in home improvement, which you'll use for finishing basements, building walls, etc.
How to: The ability to squarely cut 2x4s is a classic Speed Square maneuver and is well worth the price of the tool just for this. Rest the square's lipped fence over the 2x4. Hold the square firmly. Cut against the square with a power saw, making sure that the saw's own fence slides along the square's fence. Do not let the saw blade run against the square.
You Need to: Draw long pencil marks down the length of a board prior to ripping. Ripping means to cut a board along its length, not width.
Example Applications: Cutting laminate or engineered wood floor boards.
How to: Speed Square provides you with the ability to run long pencil marks parallel to the edge of the board. These marks can be between 3/8 of an inch to 3 1/2 inches from the edge of the board.
Lay Speed Square on the board, with the lipped fence over the edge. Place your pencil in Speed Square's so-called Diamond cutout (for 3 1/2 inches) or in one of the ten notches located in the triangular cutout (for 3/8 of an inch to 3 inches). Use a regular pencil, not a carpenter's pencil. Slide the square down the length of the board, drawing the line as you go.
You Need to: Find out if something is exactly perpendicular to another thing.
Example Applications: Squaring a kitchen cabinet against another cabinet or against the wall. Bathroom cabinets, too, need to be squared.
How to: Because Speed Square is so versatile, you may forget that it is still a square. Speed Square is best as squaring up smaller, shorter things rather than walls, because it is only 7 inches long (though Swanson also does offer a 12 inch version). For squaring up walls and rooms, you need at least a carpenter's square. Better yet is a laser level that casts an "X" mark.
Place the Speed Square against the two elements (such as wall and cabinet). If there is a gap, this means that the two elements are not square with each other.
You Need to: Adjust a circular saw so that its blade runs squarely at 90 degrees again.
How to: Speed Square isn't just for squaring up work materials; it can be used for checking square on tools, as well. There are times when you have adjusted your circular power saw so that its blade runs at an angle other than the usual 90 degrees. Adjusting the saw back to 90 degrees by consulting the saw's markings isn't always accurate, especially for older tools.
With the tool unplugged, rest one side of the Speed Square against the side of the blade. The other side of the square should rest against the bottom of the saw. Readjust the saw so that it is square against both sides of the Speed Square.

Gender Based Violence March 4, 2013
Policy Matters: VAWA and TVPRA
by Diane Fender
Photo Courtesy: CNN.com
After much debate and controversy, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was finally passed through the U.S. House of Representatives with a vote of 286-138 for the bi-partisan Senate version of the bill. The VAWA was originally passed in 1994. The purpose of the VAWA is to recognize the pervasive nature of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking among girls and women. The VAWA helps support organizations who are offering comprehensive support services to those affected by these crimes.
The VAWA has historically improved the criminal justice systems response to:
Hold rapists accountable by strengthening federal penalities
Increase rates of prosecution, conviction and sentencing of offenders
Ensure that police respond to crisis calls and that judges understand the dynamics of domestic violence and sexual assault
Improve safety for victims by supporting a coordinated community response
Focus on the needs of girls and women in underserved communities
This critical piece of legislation is now set to be signed by President Barack Obama. CNN reports that Obama is ready to sign the VAWA.
"I look forward to signing it into law as soon as it hits my desk." declares Obama.
This victory is one for victims of violence, as well as, service providers daily fighting for the rights of girls and women. The bill has been reauthorized for another five years which will contribute $659 million dollars to organizations that are addressing these critical issues.

House Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi spoke with fervor and passion in support of the VAWA. Many democrats and republicans were in favor of the bill. Despite the political controversy centered around the bill, the fact that it passed proves that no girl or woman deserves to be abused.
Regardless of our political affiliations, we must take a stand against violence towards girls and women.Together we can unite and raise our voices to enforce stricter policies and support organizations that are valiantly in the fight.
Included in the VAWA, was a second victory with the passing of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA). The TVPRA exists to monitor and combat the issue of trafficking in persons. The passing of the TVPRA sends a hopeful message to the 27 million people who are currently enslaved around the world.
The effect of the VAWA being passed will reach far greater heights for girls and women. For those of you who spent the past several months calling your congressmen and women I salute you! Without your support, these bills wouldn't have been passed! Your voice matters. Policy Matters.

Pelican a migratory bird in Nalsarovar, who migrates from northern breeding areas to Nalsarovar lake as its southern wintering grounds. Pelican bird is one of the rare birds who travel thousand kilometer from their native place to Nalsarovar once in a year. There are almost 200 different species along with Pelicans who fly hundreds and thousands of kilometers to Nalsarovar lake in Gujarat, India for feeding, breeding and raising their young. Nalsarovar is a bird watcher's paradise; tourists coming to Nalsarovar enjoys watching Pelican bird during the Indian winters.
Nal Sarovar is a Bird Sanctuary, with shallow waters (4-5 ft) which contains 36 small islands. Nalsarovar-Ahmedabad distance is about 60 km located near Sanand Village, in Gujarat. Nalsarovar is a Bird Sanctuary since April 1969 and Nalsarovar is a Ramsar site since 24 September 2012. Pelican a migratory bird in Nalsarovar can be seen in Nalsarovar from time to time.


There is an optimal soil aeration as well as percolation as well as chunk size for different plants. I think a really big acoustic transducer could reach more than 20cm deep to aerate, particulate size, and optimize soil.
Right now there are meter or partial meter graphic visualizations of differences in soil type and measured yield [link] I think supercustomizing soil texture with a sonic transducer could support this microarea production amplification.
Is it possible to vibrate length mostly empty new soil tubes or lumens a few inches from the soil surface? this could possibly optimize water transport and retention to benefit plants, and thus people.
It is possible that well engineered acoustic transducers could last as long or longer than mechanical tilling methods.
Also imagine a spiffy sonic transducer wiggling little pellets of fertilizer to depth uniformity, an improvement over partial mixing.
Might work... can't see the bugs and worms digging it much though. You ideally want them to do your aerating for you.
How would this not just pack soil down for suboptimal air content?
I agree with [Voice] the transducer would have to be under the soil facing up to go against gravity and lift the particles into a freer space, rather than push them down into a denser space.
A buried pipe designed to oscillate might be interesting though. A brown note for worms.
Nah. The moon is a ~380nHz transducer.
//The moon is a ~380nHz transducer.// Only if its orbital period has increased to about 30 days.
Hmm. I appear to have spontaneously posted some complete nonsense to the halfbakery. I do apologise.
To simplify, let us assume that the moon is stationary. Under this assumption, clearly it transducifies at about 11.6uHz. The 380nHz spectral peak is caused by intermodulation with the frequencies of the immediately adjacent transducers.
So that's where all the biros go.

AHRI members and staff meet with California regulators
Meetings were held with the California Air Resources Board and the California Energy Commission, association says
CCME Content Team | Follow @ccmenews | Oct 2, 2018 | 3:20 pm
Arlington, Virginia, USA, 2 October 2018: A group of AHRI members and staff travelled to Sacramento recently, to attend meetings with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the California Energy Commission (CEC), the association announced in a Press communiqué.
The meeting with CARB focused on the ongoing hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Rulemaking #2 regarding the short-lived climate pollutant strategy to reduce HFCs, the communiqué said. Using the September 14 letter – signed by AHRI, various member companies, and the Natural Resources Defense Council – as a starting point for the discussion, the group covered a wide variety of topics that need to be addressed, prior to the issuance of a draft rule, the communiqué further said. Specifically, members of the AHRI CARB Working Group explained the challenges of meeting the state's goal of reducing HFC emissions by 40% by 2030, and recommended reducing leak rates, improving end-of-life collection, encouraging the use of reclaimed material and focusing less on sectors with low leak rates, the communiqué also said. Members also discussed logistical challenges, such as the sell-through period, distribution from California to non-regulated states, and the importance of adopting necessary code changes in time for a 2023 implementation date, the communiqué added.
According to CARB, Rulemaking #2 will be split in two, with air conditioning equipment addressed first. Prior to the scheduled October 24 public workshop on the rulemaking's scope, the agency agreed to participate in a series of meetings to address AHRI's concerns, the communiqué said. AHRI plans to share a list of priority topics with CARB, including the aforementioned challenges, the communiqué further said.
AHRI staff and members also met with CEC staff to discuss implementation of S.B. 1414 and the much-debated topic of Serial Number Tracking (SNT) as a method to increase permitting compliance and energy efficiency, the communiqué said. AHRI members outlined many of the challenges associated with SNT from the manufacturers' perspective and suggested alternative solutions for increasing permitting compliance, such as a state-wide online permitting process, point-of-sale inspections, contractor and homeowner education and increased enforcement, the communiqué further said. The CEC will release a draft plan in November to allow sufficient time for the required 45-day comment period, prior to producing a final report by the January 2019 deadline, the communiqué added. According to AHRI, it will continue to engage and provide manufacturer input as the plan is developed.

BAROODY: "There should be a rapport between governments regardless of their ideologies. And the young, who I must say, like many of us are the victims of the industrial and technological revolution-not the physical aspects of the revolution-but the impact it has had on the community, and the family. Should we neglect them and not take into account in any draft resolution? This problem, neglecting it altogether? This is why I thought at an early stage I would like my colleagues to give thought to the future.
Now the Germans, and rightly so, are happy because they succeeded. But if those who have the seeds of martyrdom, whether the martyrdom is for a cause with which we agree or do not agree, take things into their hands with one deadline, will our hasty action have served the purpose?"
Background: The United Nations General Assembly has agreed to put the problem of hijacking on its agenda. It will be decided by the Assembly's 149-nation special political committee at a date to be fixed. The agenda item entitled "safety of international civil aviation" was proposed by more than 40 countries following the hijacking of a West German Boeing to Mogadishu in Somalia. On Tuesday (25 October), the assembly approved a recommendation by its steering committee on Monday (24 October) to include the item on its agenda. The International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations had threatened to begin a 48-hour strike on Tuesday (25 October) but called it off-following assurances that the assembly would deal urgently with the hijacking menace.
