On Friday , August 16,eters and a width of 59 metres, this vessel is by far the largest container ship in the world.
At that moment, a few other massive ships will be present in the port. The Ti Europe will be moored at Dolphins 80 in the Calandkanaal. With a length of 380 meters and width of 69 meters, this white tanker is the largest oil tanker in the world still in operation (DWT 420,000 metric tons). In addition to this, the Vale Rio is expected at EMO in the Mississippi haven on the morning of Friday, August 16. This ship, the largest iron ore vessel in the world, measures 362 meters by 65 meters. Two years ago, the ship succeeded the Berge Stahl as the biggest iron ore carrier. The Berge Stahl will also be in the port on Friday, at EECV. The vessel measures “only” 343 meters by 63.5 meters.
The Berge Stahl has been sailing between Brazil and Rotterdam since 1986. For years, the ship was by far the largest vessel to call at Rotterdam, apart from a few massive oil tankers. The arrival of the new generation of iron ore vessels and container ships confirms the huge increase in scale that has taken place in shipping in recent years. This is also reflected in the port statistics. In 2006, the first container ship with a capacity of more than 10,000 TEU arrived; in 2011, 362 of such container ships called at the port. Last year, this number had already risen to 487. Despite the steady increase in throughput to over 440 million metric tons, the number of ships arriving in Rotterdam has fallen in recent years from 35,000 to 32,000.
portofrotterdam.com </s>  – Following the call of the Party to PROLETARIANISE THE PARTY IN THE LIGHT OF MAO TSETUNG THOUGHT, a group of four Canadian Revolutionary Youth immediately formed a group to put the call of the Party into practice. They considered the call of the Party to be timely and correct and  assist the proletarianization of the Party in the light of Mao Tsetung Thought.
Soon after they formed the group, they got together to discuss what to study and where to begin. They vigorously exchanged views on the question and boldly participated in dealing with the problem. One said: TO PROLETARIANISE MEANS TO DESTROY WHAT IS IN THE WAY OF PROLETARIANISATION, FIRST. The rest of the comrades agreed that this was the correct guideline and they adopted it as the first principle of their group. After a lengthy discussion on WHAT IS IN THE WAY OF PROLETARIANISATION, they agreed that WE SHOULD LOOK INTO THE REAL WORLD TO FIND OUT which meant that WE SHOULD ESTABLISH WHY THE PARTY GAVE THIS CALL AT THIS TIME. Going into the reasons for the Party’s call, they isolated what is in the way of proletarianisation. The Party has given this call at this time to weed out certain bourgeois fraudulent characters and liberals who are corroding the Party from within and causing disruption. So, TO means to hit at the bourgeois fraudulent characters and liberals.by ARMING THE MINDS OF THE COMRADES WITH MAO TSETUNG THOUGHT and CONSCIENTIOUSLY SUMMING UP THE EXPERIENCE OF THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE TWO LINES IN THE PARTY. They decided to begin their contribution by summing upstudy only to destroy the bourgeois fraudulent characters.
Going over the general features of the bourgeois fraudulent characters, they found that these individuals 1. Refuse to come under the discipline of the Party, oppose working in Party units, branches and committees and undermine the leadership of the Party in the units, branches and committees. 2. Oppose summing up by using democratic method of discussion, debate and exchange of views on the collective basis. 3. Actively oppose uniting with other members and supporters of the Party on the basis of criticism-self-criticism. 4. Oppose study and application of Mao Tsetung Thought and 5. Have no faith in the revolutionary capacity of the masses. Concretely, they showed laziness towards summing up and changing the situation, and active interest in building their own feifdoms and were extremely egocentric and nasty about safe-guarding their selfish interests over and above the interests of the Party and the people. Thus the concrete analysis of the activities of the bourgeois fraudulent characters and liberals showed that they were communalists and sectarians, worshipped their own sects and patriarchs and upheld no principles. After isolating the characteristics of the negative line in the Party, they picked up quotations from the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO and studied the negative line in the light of these quotations. These quotations mainly dealt with such questions as: 1. The class basis of laziness. 2. Putting personal interests in command to oppose the Party and the people, and 3. The bourgeois habit of serving a sect in opposition to serving the majority. Studying these quotations instilled in them tremendous class hatred againsand they pledged themselves never to be lazy and complacent about wiping these characters outAfter the discussion they named their discussion group DOWN WITH BOURGEOIS HANG-UPS STUDY GROUP.

Several works provide evidence that TASK channels could be much involved in Ehrlich cell regulatory volume decrease (RVD; Hoffmann, 2000). In these cells, the swelling-activated K+ conductance presented functional similarities with TASK2 currents. The recent work of Niemeyer et al. (2001a) provides further evidence that when expressed in HEK 293 cells, TASK2 is modulated by changes in osmotic variation. According to these authors, the osmosensitivity of TASK2 suggests that it could participate in volume regulation in epithelial tissues where this protein is predominantly expressed.
In the different segments of the nephron, the cells are submitted to osmotic shocks either by accumulation of active osmolytes inside their cytoplasm (proximal tubule) or by dilution of the tubular fluid (distal tubule). These cells are capable of RVD in response to such osmotic stress, but the molecular identity of the Cl− and K+ channels activated to achieve this regulation remains unclear. Therefore, TASK2 channels could be involved in K+ efflux during RVD. In a previous work in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) in the murine kidney, a decrease in tonicity activated a current that, shown apparent open channel Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz rectification, was insensitive to TEA, CTX, and 293B, but blocked by quinidine and low concentration of clofilium (Belfodil et al., 2003). This current was Ca2+-insensitive, but highly sensitive to external pH. This pharmacology pattern of the swelling-activated K+ channels suggested that K+ channels implicated in the control of cell volume could belong to TASK2 family (Belfodil et al., 2003). To verify this hypothesis, we developed primary cultures of renal tubules microdissected from kidney of either control (TASK2 +/+) or TASK2 knockout (KO) (TASK2 −/− mice). In these cells, K+ and Cl− channels activated by a hypotonic shock were measured using whole-cell clamp technique. The present results show that TASK2 is mainly expressed in proximal tubules in situ. Moreover, TASK2 K+ channels are clearly functional in primary culture of proximal cells. Because KO of TASK2 completely abolished volume regulation in proximal cells, it is concluded that TASK2 K+ channels are responsible for the K+ efflux that occurs during RVD process in this segment.
Mice wereAll the animals used in this work were of the N5F1 or N5F2 generation. Mice genotype was assessed by quantitative dot blot analysis on genomic DNA from tail biopsies using a neomycin probe according to the method described previously (Skarnes, 2000).
Gene-trap vector insertion was located into KCNK5 mRNA using RT-PCR. Sense primer was designed to mTask-2 cDNA (5′-TCACCTCGGCCATCATATTC-3′; GenBank/EMBL/DDBL accession no. AF259395) and antisense primer (5′-AGTAGACTTCTGCACAGACACC-3′) was designed to the CD4 transmembrane domain sequence located in the 5′ region of the gene-trap vector. Sequence analysis of the PCR product demonstrated insertion of the trap vector at position 188 of the mTask-2 cDNA, corresponding to the exon1–2 bounda1996; National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC), with the guidelines of the French Agricultural Office,animal studies.
Proximal, distal, and collecting tubules were microdissected under sterile conditions. Kidneys were perfused with Hank's solution (GIBCO BRL) containing 700 kU/liter collagenase (Worthington), and were then cut into small pyramids thatperfusion buffer containing 160 kU/liter collagenase, 1% NuSerum, and 1 mM CaCl2. They were continuously aerated. Pyramids were then rinsed thoroughly in the same buffer devoid of collagenase. Individual nephrons were dissected by hand in this buffer under binoculars, using stainless steel needles mounted on Pasteur pipettes. After rinsing in the dissecting medium, tubules were transferred to collagen-coated 35-mm Petri dishes filled with culture medium composed of equal quantities of DMEM and Ham's F12 medium (GIBCO BRL) containing 15 mM NaHCO3, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 1% serum, 2 mM glutamine, 5 mg/liter insulin, 50 nM dexamethasone, 10 μg/liter epidermal growth factor, 5 mg/liter transferrin, 30 nM sodium selenite, and 10 nM triiodothyronine.  water-saturated atmosphere.

Whole-cell currents were recorded from 6 to 20-d-old cultured cellsce 2–3 MΩ) were made from borosilicate capillary tubes (1.5 mm OD, 1.1 mm ID; Propper Manufacturing Inc.) using a two-stage vertical puller (PP 83; Narishige) and filled with appropriate solutions (Table I) . Osmolarity of bath solutions was adjusted to 350 mosm/kg with mannitol, and pH for both solutions was maintained at 7.4.with a stage equipped with a water robot micromanipulator (WR 89; Narishige). The patch pipette was connected via an Ag/AgCl wire to the headstage of a patch amplifier (model RK 400; Biologic). After formation of a gigaseal, the fast compensation system of the amplifier was used to compensate for the intrinsic input capacitance of the head stage and the pipette capacitance. The membrane was ruptured by additional suction to achieve the conventional whole-cell configuration. The cell capacitance (Cm) was compensated for by using settings available on the RK 400 amplifier. The series resistances were estimated by the equation Rs = τ/Cm, where τ is the time constant of the exponential relaxation. The series resistances (Rs) of 100 experiments averaging 8.7 ± 0.9 MΩ were compensated, but experiments in which the series resistance was >20 MΩ were discarded. Cell membrane potentials (Vm) were measured at zero membrane current in the I0 mode of the amplifier (current clamp to zero current). Solutions were perfused in the extracellular bath using a four-channel glass pipette, the tip of which was placed as close as possible to the clamped cell.
The relative cell volume was monitored by image analysis with Fura2 as the fluorescent volume indicator as previously reported (Rubera et al., 1997). 6–20-d-old cell monolayers grown on a Petri dish were loaded with a solution of 2 μM Fura2 containing 0.01% pluronic acid for 20 min at 37°C, and were then washed with an NaCl solution. The fluorescence was monitored with a 360-nm excitation wavelength. At 360 nm, the variations of the signal emitted by the probe are directly proportional to the variations of cell volume. In a typical experiment, the cells were first perfused with an isotonic NaCl solution containing (mM): 110 NaCl, 5 KCl, 1 CaCl2, 90 mannitol, and 10 HEPES, pH 7.4 (osmotic pressure [Posm] = 300 mosmol/kg H2O) at 30 ml/min, and images were averaged eight times and recorded every 5 s for 15 min. Once the fluorescence was stabilized, a hypotonic shock was induced by perfusing the NaCl solution without mannitol (Posm = 200 mosmol/kg H2O). The estimation of the relative change in cell volume from the fluorescent signal was made, assuming that a 30% decrease in osmolarity caused a decrease of the fluorescent signal corresponding to a maximum swelling of 30% compared with the initial volume. The means of relative volume changes were obtained by analysis of 10–20 zones in each ofThe optical system was composed of an inverted microscope (model ICM-405; Carl Zeiss MicroImaging, Inc.) and a 40× objective (Carl Zeiss MicroImaging, Inc.), which was used for epifluorescent measurementa narrow-band filter centered at 360 nm mounted in a motorized wheel (Lambda 10–2; Sutter Instrument Co.) and equipped with a shutter to control the exposure times.

Fluorescence emission was selected through n intensified camera (Extended ISIS; Photonic Science). The 8-bit Extended ISIS camera wasproceeded to an image processor integrated in a  PC.

To further characterize the pH-sensitive K+ current in PCT cells from TASK2 +/+ mice, the effect of different K+ channel blockers was tested on K+ conductance measured at a pHe of 8.6. As shown in Fig. 3 A, 0.5 mM quinidine and 10 μM clofilium inhibited the K+ currents at 100 mV by >60%. In contrast, 1 mM TEA, 10 nM CTX, or 10 nM apamin did not significantly modify the K+ currents.
Fig. 3 B shows the strong pH dependence of the inward and outward K+ currents. Varying the pHe values between 6.0 and 8.6 indicated that the currents were very sensitive to extracellular pH within the physiological range.
To study the effect of changes in osmotic pressure on the development of K+ conductance, currents were induced by osmotic shock. In these experiments, whole-cell currents were recorded with Ca2+-free pipette solutions containing 125 mM K+ and maintained at an osmolarity of 290 mosmol/kg H2O and a pH of 7.4. Fig. 4 A shows K+ currents observed in cultured PCT from TASK2 +/+ mice with an extracellular solution osmolarity of 350 mosmol/kg H2O and at a pH of 7.4. The voltage step protocol elicited small time-independent outwardly rectifying currents that had a reversal potential of −72.2 ± 4 mV and a maximal slope conductance of 3.3 ± 0.9 nS (n = 20).
The monolayers were then perfused with a 290 mosmol/kg H2O solution. Fig. 4 B illustrates the development of the currents obtained 4–5 min after the onset of the hypotonic shock. These large, outwardly rectifying currents reversed at −73.1 ± 2.0 mV with a maximum slope conductance of 17.8 ± 1.3 nS (n = 20). When the cells were reexposed to the hyperosmotic solution (350 mosmol/kg H2O), the currents returned to the control level within 2–3 min (Fig. 4, C and D). To characterize more fully these swelling-activated K+ currents, the effects of several inhibitors known to affect different K+ channels were tested. The data are reported in Fig. 5 A. As reported in the previous paragraph for K+ currents recorded in isotonic conditions, quinidine strongly inhibited, whereas TEA and CTX did not significantly modify, the swelling K+ conductance. Additionally, 10 μM clofilium also blocked these conductances and 293 B remained without significant effect. This inhibitory profile indicated that the K+ channels implicated in the increase of the K+ conductance induced by hypotonicity belong to the TASK family. To confirm this observation, the effect of hypotonic shock was studied at different external pH values. As expected for TASK2 channels, the hypotonic-stimulated K+ currents were significantly increased at a pHe of 8.6 (maximal slope conductance 26.3 ± 2.9 nS, n = 6) and decreased at a pHe of 6.0 (maximal slope conductance 6.6 ± 1 nS, n = 9) as compared with the currents measured at a pHe of 7.4 (maximal slope conductance: 11.8 ± 2.9 nS, n = 15; Fig. 5, B and C).
In previous work (Belfodil et al., 2003), it was postulated that TASK2 could play a role in cell volume regulation. Therefore, we studied this possibility in our cell models. For this purpose, relative cell volume was determined in monolayers by fluorescence video microscopy. The data are illustrated in Fig. 8 A. As expected, the reduction of osmolarity of the perfused solution caused a rapid increase in relative cell volume. This cell swelling was followed by an RVD in PCT cells from TASK2 +/+ mice. 2 min after the hypotonic shock, the relative cell volume reached 130.1 ± 2% (n = 4 monolayers) of the initial volume and returned to 105. 2 ± 1% (n = 4 monolayers) of the original volume within 4 min. In these cells, the efficient RVD process was completely blocked in the presence of 100 μM NPPB or 10 μM clofilium, indicating that Cl− and K+ channels were probably involved in this process. In contrast, the RVD phenomenon was completely impaired in cells originating from TASK2 −/− mice; when perfused with the hypotonic solution, these cells never returned to their initial volume (Fig. 8 A).
The effects of extracellular Ca2+ on the RVD process were tested in PCT from TASK2 +/+ cells. Fig. 8 B shows that when hypotonic shock was performed in the absence of bath Ca2+, the RVD was significantly impaired. The PCT cells exhibited a similar increase of relative cell volume after 2 min of hypotonic shock in the presence or absence of bath Ca2+; respectively, 129.9 ± 1.2% (n = 4 monolayers) and 132.0 ± 1.0% (n = 4 monolayers). In the presence of extracellular Ca2+, the cells returned to their initial volume within 6 min after the induction of hypotonic shock (98.1 ± 1.2%, n = 4 monolayers). In contrast, in the absence of external Ca2+, the cells did not regain their original volume (122.1 ± 1.1%, n = 4 monolayers). The necessity of the presence of Ca2+ in the extracellular bath was tested on the swelling-activated currents during hypotonic shock. As shown in Fig. 9 A, the absence of extracellular Ca2+ completely impaired the swelling-activated Cl− currents. As concerns swelling-activated K+ currents, they were not altered by the absence of Ca2+ (Fig. 9 B). Together, these results indicated that TASK2 currents are insensitive to external Ca2+, whereas for swelling-activated Cl− currents, Ca2+ was required for activation. As previously reported in rabbit kidney cells in primary cultures (Rubera et al., 2001), extracellular Ca2+ was required to induce the swelling-activated Cl− currents (Fig. 9 A).
To prevent the development of Cl− conductance, the effect of hypotonic swelling was tested in the presence of 0.1 mM NPPB in the bath solution. Control currents were recorded using an isotonic-free (290 mosmol/kg H2O) Ca2+ (1 mM EGTA) solution in the pipette and a hypertonic (350 mosmol/kg H2O) solution containing 1 mM Ca2+ in the bath. In DCT cells, the voltage-step protocol elicited small time-independent currents that changed linearly with the membrane voltage. The values of currents at 100 mV were 126 ± 16 pA (n = 20 cells from five different mice) in DCT cells. Because of their small amplitude, the nature of these currents was not analyzed further. To produce a hypotonic shock, the monolayers were then perfused continuously with a 290-mosm/kg H2O solution. In 75% of TASK2 +/+ cells, an increase in whole-cell current was observed in 3 min. In the two cell types, the currents reached a maximum in 4–5 min. Fig. 10 A (b) and Fig. 10 B (b) give the currents recorded in DCT cells from TASK2 +/+ and TASK2 −/− during hypotonic shock. In TASK2 +/+ cells, the currents recorded in each cultured segment showed virtually no inactivation during the 400-ms pulse, and the channels involved in this conductance were activated at depolarized potentials. The slope conductances measured at 100 mV were 12–16 times the amplitude of those calculated at −60 mV. The reversal potentials were near to the equilibrium potential for K+ ions in DCT segment (Erev = −80 ± 4 mV, n = 13 cells from five mice). Whatever the cell type, the swelling-activated K+ currents were strongly blocked when the cells were reexposed to hypertonic solution (350 mosmol/kg H2O) as shown in Fig. 10 A (c) and Fig. 10 B (c).
As concerns TASK2 −/− mice, the effect of hypotonic shock always induced swelling-activated K+ currents in DCT cells (n = 4; Fig. 10 B). Overall, the results indicate that TASK2 protein could be implicated in the control of swelling-activated K+ conductances only in proximal segments of the nephron.
To confirm the fact that TASK2 was not implicated in cell volume regulation, we measured relative cell volume in monolayers by fluorescence video microscopy in DCT cells from TASK2 +/+ and TASK2 −/− mice. As expected, DCT cells swelled in response to a hypotonic shock (Fig. 10 C). This cell swelling was followed by an RVD in both cell types. 2 min after the hypotonic shock, relative cell volume reached 120 ± 1% (n = 8 monolayers) and 123 ± 2% (n = 4 monolayers) of the initial volume in DCT cells from TASK2 +/+ and TASK2 −/− mice, respectively. These cells recovered their initial volume within 2–3 min.
Although renal tissue expressed abundant mRNAs encoding the two-pore domain channel (TASK2), nothing is known concerning the physiological role of this channel in the kidney. It is indeed well known that TASK2 generates K+ currents that are activated by physiological increases in external pH, suggesting that these channels could be particularly efficient in epithelium implicated in pH regulation. Therefore, in the present work, we developed primary cultures of nephron segment microdissected from mice carrying null mutation of the TASK2 gene.
Replacing the TASK 2 gene by the gene encoding β-galactosidase allowed an indirect localization of TASK2 protein. Surprisingly, we found that TASK2 was expressed in cortical PCT in situ and in cultured proximal cells in vitro. This localization is at variance with that reported by Reyes et al. (1998). They identified TASK2 mRNA  human adult kidney using in situ hybridization (Reyes et al., 1998). Apart from a difference in the techniques used to detect TASK2, a species difference could explain these conflicting results, but we have no formal arguments to sustain this hypothesis. Nevertheless, the results that we obtained using whole-cell clamp technique clearly indicated that PCT cells from wild-type mice exhibited a K+ conductance that closely resembled TASK2. Thus, this conductance was insensitive to Ca2+, unaffected by known K+ channel inhibitors such as TEA or CTX, but was markedly blocked by clofilium and quinidine. Furthermore, these currents presented a strong dependence on the external pH, being activated at alkaline pH in the physiological range variations. The loss of pH-sensitive K+ currents observed in PCT cells from TASK2 −/− mice definitively indicated that TASK2 is functional in the PCT from wild mice. The TASK2-null mutation not only abolished the pH dependence of the K+ conductance, but also decreased the control K+ currents measured at a pH of 7.4. Therefore, it is probable that TASK2 currents could participate in the control of the negative resting membrane potential. Consequently, absence of this current in the proximal cells of TASK2 −/− mice could result in a slight cell depolarization. The effect of this depolarization on overall renal function is not yet known. However, recent experiments by Warth et al. (2002) using clearance measurements in TASK2 KO mice show an increase in urinary flow rate and salt loss. This could decrease the ability of the proximal cell membrane to repolarize during NaHCO3 reabsorption (Warth et al., 2002), leading to a reduction of electrogenic Na+/HCO3− cotransport.
To further analyze the role of TASK2 channels in the tissue, we addressed the possibility that these channels be implicated in the swelling-sensitive K+ conductance that was previously found in PCT cells (Belfodil et al., 2003). In these series, the control experiments (pharmacological pattern, pH sensitivity, and the effect of external Ca2+) were performed in TASK2 +/+ mice. These animals exhibit the same genetic background as the one of control mice used for CFTR study by Belfodil et al. (2003)in these experimental series are confirmatory to those previously shown by Belfodil et al. (2003). In fact, several studies in Ehrlich cells provided some evidence that among the K+ channels involved in the RVD process, TASK2 could be a putative candidate (Hoffmann, 2000). Moreover, a recent report by Niemeyer et al. (2001a) clearly supports this hypothesis by demonstrating that the transfection of TASK2 into HEK 293 cells induced swelling-activated K+ currents. Interestingly, the K+ conductance activated by hypotonic challenge in PCT cells from wild-type mice shared many characteristics with the K+ currents flowing through TASK2 channels. These swelling currents were resistant to conventional K+ blockers, although they were inhibited by clofilium and quinidine. They were also Ca2+ independent. Moreover, increasing the extracellular pH resulted in a strong increase of conductance for the duration of the hypotonic shock. The observation that the null mutation of TASK2 completely suppressed the development of the swelling-activated K+ conductance further demonstrates that TASK2 is responsible for the overall K+ currents activated by hypotonic shock in PCT cells in primary culture. In fact, in PCT (as in many tissues), RVD is mainly mediated by a parallel activation of K+ and Cl− channels (Tauc et al., 1990). Thus, the lack of swelling-activated K+ conductance in PCT cells from TASK2 −/− mice could explain why these cells did not exhibit RVD process, because swelling-sensitive Cl− channels were unaffected by the null mutation. Although TASK2 currents are quite insensitive to Ca2+, it should be noted that in the absence of external Ca2+, the RVD was completely impaired in PCT cells from TASK2 +/+ mice. This loss of volume regulation was mainly due to an inhibition of the swelling-activated Cl− channels, the activation of which depends on external Ca2+ (Tauc et al., 1990; Barriere et al., 2003).
Different types of K+ conductances are activated during cell swelling (le Maout et al., 1990; Hoffmann and Hougaard, 2001; Niemeyer et al., 2001b), and it is interesting to know whether various swelling-sensitive K+ channels could be activated in the same cell. Recently, Hoffmann proposed a very stimulating model to explain the RVD response in Ehrlich cells (Hoffmann, 2000). According to her hypothesis, hypotonic swelling could result in the activation of two types of K+ channels: the cells could undergo a standard RVD due to the activation of TASK2 K+ channels, followed by a potentiated RVD due to the activation of Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels. However, in renal epithelial cells, the K+ channels involved in RVD are probably different from one segment to another. In PCT, our data indicate that RVD corresponded to the "standard type" and was mediated by TASK2 K+ channels, whereas in DCT and CCT cells that do not express TASK2 protein, RVD was mediated by Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels belonging to Ca2+-activated maxi K+ channels and Ca2+-activated small K+ channels (Belfodil et al., 2003).
In conclusion, the present report clearly demonstrates that TASK2 K+ channels are functional in PCT cells. At rest, these channels could participate in the control of the membrane potential. Importantly, TASK2 is the main K+ conductance involved in the RVD process in PCT.

A new passion I have is creating Pinterest boards with images that inspire me. On my board "Words I Love" I pinned "Get Addicted -- To Loving Yourself" with the title: Whatever the question, love is the answer. Words from me to me.
In the 10 years that I held the vision that March 15 be celebrated annually and globally as International Forgiving Day, the primary intention was to open the conversation on forgiving.
Why? Because at that time, forgiving was a hard sell. Forgiving was seen to be a way of "letting people off the hook," free to transgress again. For example, you could go to confession on Sunday, ask for forgiveness from God, then sin all over again and go back to confession next Sunday. There was an apparent lack of personal accountability. Nothing really changed.
The experiencrue personal transformation happened when a genuine and felt expression of forgiveness took place.
Have you ever heard it said that perfect vulnerability offers perfect protection? Vulnerability does not always come naturally or easily. To open your heart and honestly express your mistakes, fears or doubts seems counterintuitive. And yet, when you do so, you touch and awaken other hearts to do the same.
Obviously, there are occasions when it makes sense not to offer vulnerability -- diving into a pool of hungry sharks, or entering a cage of lions, for example. We do need to be able to open, and it is those that are sometimes the most difficult to face with our truth.
Many of the barriers we erect to shield our pure love come from judgments, often toward ourselves, that we are deep down not good enough and have no real value, that we are shameful or worthless in some way, or are unlovable, bad, you name it. Were you ever told anything like that when you were growing up, or assumed it for yourself?
What if, at all time? What if when you know better, you do better?
HuffPost Blogger Judith Johnson writes very clearly on "Why You Should Break the Habit of Snap Judgments."
What if we could become addicted to forgiving? It starts with being aware of when you get emotionally out of balance -- resentful, angry, guilty, fearful, ashamed, or holding "shoulds" against yourself or others, for example. You are seeing less than the total picture because those negative emotions shut us out from the truth.
I highly recommend the exercise on "Compassionate Self-Forgiveness" written up in detail by HuffPost bloggers Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick in their book, Loyalty To Your Soul, on page 212.
So if you could choose an addiction, why not be addicted to forgiving yourself?
How have you experienced forgiveness making a difference in your life? Have you ever found it hard to forgive yourself? I would love to learn from you. Please

Jon was fighting tears. "Maybe I have to believe that somebody who died from drugs can go to heaven to be able to live with what happened," he said. "But I know that Dougie had a close relationship with Jesus when he was little. Even when he got into his rebellious period, there were times when he would talk about God. In fact..." He took a deep breath. "After Dougie died we found drug paraphernalia and other things that, had we searched and found them earlier, would have tipped us off to how serious his problems were. But...we didn't, so . . . Anyway, we found a diary, too. Dougie really liked to write, and apparently he only expressed his innermost thoughts and feelings on paper. It was hard to read it and realize how much he'd been hurting before he died, and how blind we were to his pain. But throughout the pages we found him crying out to God for help, pouring out his heart to the only One he seemed able to trust. Just before he died, he had written out a prayer asking for God's forgiveness. I have to believe that God heard that prayer and that our Dougie is safe with him now."
Ben continued to look into Jon's eyes. "So," he said finally, "you think God can even forgive something as bad as drugs." "Definitely," said Jon, "God not only can but does. He's much more anxious to forgive us than we are to ask Him for it. And there's nothing—absolutely nothing—that He won't forgive."


That is Twenty Years to cut and stack 2.3 million blocks2, (average weight five thousand pounds average thickness four feet), to stack to a height of almost four hundred and fifty feet: twelve hours per day, seven days a week. That is twenty-six blocks per hour, (with copper and wooden tools?) now double that amazing feat because there was the Second (red) Pyramid next to the Great pyramid that was only two and one-half feet shorter and was built at the same time as the Great Pyramid. Even so, those structures construction was far easier than what you have been expected to believe. The Egyptian used simple engineering techniques to do their amazing feats. Techniques that are surprisingly still used today, concepts that have never been lost; nonetheless, those techniques have never been applied to the building of the Pyramids, by the Discovery or, History Channel, and certainly not by Wikipedia.
To interpret the riddle of the construction techniques, you must understand the basic laws of physical science, which includes the tools’ of Archimedes. However, these techniques were Egyptian “TOP SECRETS” so they were locked in a safe place hidden from their “Enemies” and from the “Common Folk” in Riddles. Making sure that the ignorant saw only what the Egyptians wanted them to see Fairy Tales. The process of quarrying the stone for the Pyramids has been as BIG a mystery as the Pyramid itself. How could a Copper Age society use its copper tools to cut and finish rocks some of which were harder that the copper tools themselves? This baffled the Scholarly World for hundreds of years and was “hard to explain” (a crux, riddle). The answer should have been in plain sight. And it was “with a handle” (ansala), because, the Egyptians used cruxansalas and sunshine to quarry the stone.
To understand this riddle, we will need to go back to my Great-Grand-Parent’s time. Many of those folks were poor. There were times that they needed just one more drinking glass. As it happens, my folks had no money to buy an extra drinking glass and sitting down to supper with an old beer bottle when the visiting pastor came by was a little tacky. So what is a poor woman to do? Have Grandpa make a glass. Forget your visions of a blast furnace and a pipe with a glob of glass on the end. No. What the Old Man did was, take that beer bottle and put a kerosene-soaked sting around the bottle and then tie the kerosene string tight. He would then light the string on fire all the way around. Then he would stand the bottle up straight then in a few seconds he would hear a PING. Then Grandpa would blow out the string. The bottle now separated in two pieces. The top makes a handy dandy new funnel and the bottom is Grandma’s new drinking glass. Now why did that happen? The heat from the flames heated the top and the neck of the beer bottle. Below the flame stayed cool when the differential in temperature was high enough between the top (from the flame and above) and the cool bottom (below the flame) a fracture would start and run around at the point of the temperature differential separating the glass bottle into two pieces.
Now let us go back to my child hood and when I was in the Cub Scouts, and one of those many Christmas presents that children would make. Some of those projects would have pretty colored clear glass marbles that looked nice just by themselves. Nevertheless, my Den Mother said, “West, it is your job to add some value to those marbles.” The scout leader heated these round pieces of glass in the oven as hot as that oven would go. Then the leader pulled the clear colored marbles out, and each child drops his marbles carefully into a glass of water SNAP, CRACKLE, and sometimes POP. Now those marbles have pretty hair line fractures and are very fragile if you drop one of those fractured marbles it would break into a thousand pieces, all mine did!
Those two little experiments are the foundation for cutting the stone for the Great Pyramids, surfacing the site and tunneling the passage for the Bottomless Pit. Because, there is sufficient evidence that Ancient man used heat or fire and water to break stone in his mining operations of the past.3 Even so, there was a lack of precision, (though the process was a lot easier than mushrooming your copper tools) in fact that is how the Caliph Al Mamaun broke through the stones of the Great Pyramid to gain access to the interior.
The Caliph Al Mamaun broke into that structurehe Great Pyramide just like my Den Mother’s oven heated the marbles. Next at the right time the Caliph’s minions threw water and vinegar against the stone fracturing the stone into . The Caliph was the first man in centuries to enter The Great Pyramid of Gizeh back in the year 840 of the Christian era. T below.5. This system of breaking rock with fire and water is fine for a slow mining operation. However, wood has never been that abundant in Egypt and when you have millions of precision stones to cut the process would be impossible to do in the allotted time of twenty years.
The Egyptians used Mercury and Golden Mirrors to do their Magic. However we must first go back to Syracuse, Sicily to the year 209 before the Christian era and look at one of the many innovations of our old friend Archimedes. King Hiero had Problems; ships of the Roman Navy, which were full of troops, were on their way to besiege his kingdom. So king Heiro called for his most trusted scientist, Archimedes.
And those mirrors did just that. Now let us apply that knowledge to our riddle of the stone quarry.
The process goes all the way back to Enoch Chapter 8 and the Watcher Azazyel.
However, if the Egyptians use sunshine and mercury mirrors to quarry those stones: where is the Historical evidence? All over Egypt on its temple walls, its papyrus’s, its jewelry and especially Karnakh: Sadly, the process has been misinterpreted for centuries. Let us go back to the Hittite Sun disk; that is the basic design: a mirror in the center of two wings for precision targeting and a tail to sit on the ground to allow vertical alignment. In its simplest form, elongate the tail; move the wings down and the mirror up and what have you got? The Ankh also known as the cruxansalas, the riddle with a handle, Amenophis IV also known as Akhenaten showed Aten as a solar orb, a sun-globe with rays which end in tiny human hands holding an Ankh, this tool was the genesis for Archimedes’ mirror defense of Syracuse.
To the Ancient Egyptians the Ankh was a symbol and a tool of power.9 The loop of the cruxansalas is where the mirror went. A funny thing about mirrors they can seem transparent at times giving the illusion that you can see right through them. Therefore, the Egyptians left out the mirrors in many ceremonial Ankhs to give that effect.
However, there are also many pictures of Ankh with golden mirrors in the loop and as you know gold is the best reflector of sunshine. You also know that you can redirect the light and heat from the sun to another location with a mirror. Now if you take a second mirror and redirect its reflection of the sun to the same point you double that heat and light. If you keep doing that with more mirrors you can produce some real heat you can use the power of the sun that is easy to harness with a few magic mirrors. A form of energy that is fresh and clean with no cost of production, a power to the common folk as magical as Alchemy. In fact Barstow, California has a solar furnace system that can produce ten megawatts of electric power out of thin air using one thousand nine-hundred mirrors. The system uses Steam electric turbines’ not solar electric cells to produce the power.
Now that we have the Ankh with a mirror on the top and a central shaft to rest on the ground, This shaft also stabilizes its movements for long periods, which allows that mirror to be tilted to catch the sun and its vertical movement. The cross handles or wings of the cruxansalas allow for horizontal precision targeting over shorter distances. Now put a few thousand men of your 100,000 men to targeting a mirrored Ankh, now you have some real heat. To reduce the area needed for all those men and give a higher concentration of light: make some of the Ankhs taller and some shorter, and have the men stair-step them: and this enables you to concentrate the heat on a smaller target when needed. An example would be the tunneling of the Bottomless Pit, because this process is lot cleaner that a brush fire.
Yes, the Ankh was thought to be a symbol of great power and the cruxansalas of Aten were, nevertheless, what will people think of our “computer and mouse” of today in 10,000 years?
The limestone of Egypt was important in the quarrying process, because of its sedimentary origins; Limestone is a stratified rock, with individual layers ranging from the thickness from laminate to beds measuring several feet from top to bottom. Granite in the Aswan area of Egypt occurs in dikes and sheets which magma has injected between layers of older rock: A type of magma emplacement known as lit by lit (bed-by-bed) injection, forming two flat surfaces, tops and bottoms, and, many times forming large square crystals.
The most common stone in the Great Pyramid is limestone, though Granite is cut in a similar manner, when the large crystals had not been pre-shaped by GOD were used. The limestone is stratified rock from thin layers to several feet thick. These layers have a consistent thickness for hundreds of feet to miles and are as flat as a calm mountain pond at dawn. That gives the quarry men two perfectly flat working surfaces to work with that need no detail work to be used in the pyramid.
However, to accomplish this quarrying of stone, we must first call in the string pullers or the chalk linemen to lay out the stone: and then the spaldings would chisel the line that the string pullers had laid out, the line would go between two natural fault lines in the stone. As the spaldings worked, the quarry men would remove the under burden back parallel to the line that the spaldings had chiseled out on the top of the stone. The nice thing about fresh limestone rather than cured limestone is that it is softer: the longer that it is out of the ground the harder the limestone gets (to a point)3.per-heated the stone.
Tplay in wet ashes, like the Caliph’s minions did. After the fractured rock had cooled, a copper headed battering ram that was suspended by an A-frame was used to break loose the fractured rock. Nevertheless, as soon as possible, wooden supports would quickly be installed to stabilize the upper layer of rock. The different strata of rock would buffer the heat and allow for a smooth transition between layers of rock. The scrap rock was important too, but more on that later in this book.
When the under burden was removed to the point of the chiseled groove, the whole section of rock that was cantilevered would be blackened with charcoal and behind the line the stone was covered with wet sand. The blackened stone was then heated with the sun and the hundreds of Ankhs mirrors. Under the stone a thick layer of sand was placed for the stone to land and a fire to help heat the stone from the bottom. Moreover, at just at the right time, the supports were pulled, and wedges were driven down at various places. Because of the weight of the stone and the heat differential of the rock, the long slab would snap. Crackle. BOOM!
On the bed of sand, if the slab was at least the second cut, now lies a long slab of stone with two smooth perfect and flat sides. The other two sides will lock into the slabs that had been cut just before and just after as if they were one: because they were one once, and every piece fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle: because they are all the same thickness, each layer stays flat without deviation. Now that, the long slab of rock weighing hundreds of tons is lying on a thick bed of sand and rubble.
What next? Lay out the cuts to offset the last row of blocs that had been cut. Next, undermine the slabs at the point the stone has been scored and place a fulcrum, and then remove the sand to the fulcrum. The Quarry-men placed log rollers under as they remove the sand. And by, positioning a support under the black end block, the quarry-men then would put wet sand on top of the rest. By this means heating of the stones with the Ankh, solar furnace system and a fire below the stone; when they pulled supports at the right time, wedges were driven down at various places and snap, crackle, BOOM. You now have a block ready for the pyramid. The next block will fit together as if they were one because they were one once. Then the stone was sent down the hill on the log rollers to the river. Yes the quarrying was done with soft metal tools more quickly than with modern high tech equipment .

Four score and seven gallons of ice cream ago, it was Saturday, February 10, 2018. I didn’t know when I woke up this would be a pretty big deal of a day. It was a whopper of a big deal day.
Here comes the ice cream part…
That Saturday morning, after loving my husband and offering the olive branch of forgiveness and compassion and understanding, I sat down at our family computer and saw yet another notification pop up from Susan. Susan. Who is this Susan? I clicked on the notification and from there it’s a downhill story. My husband was having an emotional affair over the phone and internet with his high school girlfriend; Susan.
We’re 52 years old, have been married for 32 years, and have raised five children together. It was an unbelievable gut punch. All emotions raged in me that Saturday. Fear. Anger. Heartbreak. Guilt. Sadness. Shame. Humiliation. Grief. Strong sense of grief. But mostly sheer fury, which I squarely sat on for the rest of that particular Saturday.
I’m not a professional writer. I haven’t taken journalism classes. I’m not an expert blogger. I’m not a husband-basher. I’m not a doctor, or a trained therapist, or even someone who has had years of therapy. I just think I have a story that’s (unfortunately) completely ordinary, yet worth sharing for so many reasons. When we share our stories, breaking through our isolation to connect with others, we can heal. We can learn and grow and have better days today, than our yesterdays.  or can relate through their own experiences. Birds of a feather… ha! (Last of the bird references for this blog post.)

Parents stormed this Kenyan school after student was raped by a stranger

One of Kenya's girls' schools was shut down late Saturday after it was revealed that a student was raped in the school compound.
Parents had stormed the school to question how a stranger was able to access Nairobi's Moi Girls school compound and sexually assault the student, and why the school management had done nothing about it.

How to force calling function asyncData?

As you have seen already in the code: The Vue meta plugin uses the metaInfo method to provide tags. The Product component again calls upon a computable getCurrentProduct computable, which again calls upon the Vuex getter product/getCurrentProduct. And again this requires the asyncData() method to be executed so that data is loaded from ElasticSearch or GraphQL.

Essentially by passing transpileOnly: true to ts-loader it'll disable type checking and by using the fork-ts-checker it'll just work inside your dev environment in a separate process, so you can get most benefits from TS.

Safe and Sound and SadAngela
The Philippines is a nation made up of 7,107 islands. It is located on the eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean, and typhoons come through several times a year.
But super typhoons don’t get their names lightly. And they don’t tread lightly.
Many are dead and many others are starting the process of recovering. Please pray that relief will come quickly amidst destroyed airports and damage that blocks roads. Pray that those who need medical care will get it and that supplies will get to hospitals.
For reports from those on the ground, check out an interactive map here.
Thank you to everyone who has checked in on me. Manila was sunny this morning; yesterday; yesterday afternoon, the sky had puffy white clouds on a blue sky. School was canceled on Friday due to the unknown nature of the typhoon and the storm signal over Metro Manila. It’s impossible to see that a super typhoon came through this country just 48 hours ago, and yet the sadness is almost palpable. Reports have been slow to come out because of the damage to phone lines and cell towers.

Fun Friday @ Faith Academy →
One thought on “Safe and Sound and Sad”
Angela, we are so relieved to see your note today. Praising God that you are safe and sound. Our prayers are with you and the people of the Philippines. May the Lord sustain you with health, strength, and inspiration during this time of restoration in the country.

Recent review: These two were the perfect find for our ceremony & cocktail hour music. They were very easy… </s> There is this girl and we really like each other. We are both 18 years old. We just started dating together and everything is pretty cool. This is the first time she actually dates a guy and I'm glad I'm the lucky one. However, her parents are quite strict. Her mother brought us to eat breakfast last night and literally asked me to stop dating her. She told me that she doesn't mind if we be friends and focus on our studies together. Since my girlfriend was with us, of course her mother didn't actually told me to leave her daughter alone but I kinda get her message through what she said. My girlfriend said that everything will be okay in the end but I find it hard to believe.
My parents didn't like my wife and said it clearly, not only to me. :( :(
We're still happily married. :)21|10|0

During the late 19th century Vienna experienced a rapid population expansion, and a modern system of public transportation became essential. The city’s leaders engaged urban planners to draw up metro lines to connect the suburbs with the city center along the Ringstrasse. The architect chosen for this assignment was Otto Wagner. From the beginning, his aim was to create a metro design that would be iconographic, easy to recognize, and highlight Vienna’s cosmopolitanism. It was not surprising that he chose to work in the international avant¬-garde Art Nouveau style. On this 3-hour guided tour you’ll visit 2 of the remaining stations, where you’ll begin a discussion about Viennese Art Nouveau and its ideological underpinnings. Starting out at the beautiful pavilion at Karlsplatz, you’ll visit the small Wagner Museum and then walk to the Stadtpark station, which is the best-preserved of the original metro stations still in use. Your next metro stop is Kettenbrücke station. Along the way you’ll visit the famous Sezession House, the icon par excellence of Viennese Jugendstil. You’ll also see 2 beautiful apartment houses designed by Otto Wagner. Learn more about the philosophy behind Art Nouveau and consider the symbols and materials favored by its practitioners. From Kettenbrücke station, step onto the metro for your last stop, which is a visit to the imperial station. This outstanding building was erected outside Schönbrunn solely for the emperor to use. The crown jewel of the line, this station had a symbolic meaning as well, namely to show critics of Vienna’s metro that the emperor supported the line. Note the methods used by Wagner to translate the generally bourgeois style of Art Nouveau into an aesthetic with imperial grandiosity.
No better way to explore Vienna... Seen a lot, learn a lot and had lots and lots of fun. Our guide Horst was very informative and got to know everyone on the tour and included everyone and made it a trip to remember.

We're not planning on stopping at SEPA & UK Direct Debit, either. Our vision is to create an international Direct Debit network to power simple payments for the Internet. Expect more announcements soon!
You can do this by opening up the GoCardless add-on, selecting ‘Unpaid Invoices’ and double-clicking the invoice you’d like to cancel upcoming payments for. Then simply select ‘Cancel all scheduled payments’ - this will cancel all ‘Scheduled’ payments for that invoice.
It constrained our designs - we didn't have the resource to implement entirely different designs for desktop and mobile. This restricted us to simpler designs that could work for both formats. In some cases, this even led to compromised designs which weren't great for either format.

The focus of the GA was to discuss progress and challenges relating to the data collection process for each Work Package. There is a vast amount of work to be done in each of the 14 case study regions but expectations are high that the final result will provide a comprehensive picture for specific non-wood forest products (NWFP) as well as an overview of what others are available in each of the regions. A State-of-the-Art report will be produced by the middle of next year, compiled of knowledge and information already in existence and the wealth of findings acquired through the StarTree data collection process.
The field trip took partners to Coruche county, where they spent a day learning about the NWFP of Alentejo, the StarTree case study region in Portugal. The morning included a visit to stone pine and cork oak stands, with a presentation in the field from Forest Association manager, Conceição Santos Silva. Then followed a visit to Europe's largest cork mill, Amorim, with a detailed and informative visual demonstration of the cork production process, including how wine stoppers are manufactured.
Coruche is described as the World Capital of Cork, with 50% of the county covered by cork oak. Participants spent the afternoon at the Coruche Cork Observatory, which cork sector, linking universities, regional actors and businesses for innovation and economic development.

It's free. It has new stuff, like chain-saw carving and a watermelon eating contest. It has popular repeat stuff, like a huge car show, kids' pet parade, food, art show and live music.
Welcome to the 26th annual Belfair Summerfest. Most of the events will occur on Clifton Lane, which is conveniently located near several parking lots.
The action starts quietly Friday evening with an art show and silent auction from 6 to 9 p.m. at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, 1171 Sand Hill Road, southwest of Belfair.
Saturday will be crowded with events from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Highlights are the Lions Club breakfast from 8 a.m. to noon, the new chain- saw carving session from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., a two-age-category watermelon-eating contest at 1 p.m. and the kids' pet parade at 2 p.m. Live music suitable for all ages will be played by the Windjammers, Dan Page Group and The Drive at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively. Family Safety Day will include a bike rodeo, demonstrations and a mock ladder-truck rescue from a smoke-filled house.
The day will end with an all-ages dance to recorded music from 7 to 10 p.m. It replaces the fizzled swing dance.
On Sunday, pancake-flippers and chainsaw carvers will return. But the big draw usually is the car show, which attracts from 250 to 300 motorcycles, trucks, street rods, classic cars and antique vehicles between 10 a.m and 4 p.m. Belfair's own Tami Perry Band will play at noon.
Attractions both Saturday and Sunday on Clifton Lane include an art show and booths with grilled oysters and burgers.
The festival, which started as a church fundraiser, has evolved through various locations and sponsors. The current sponsors are the North Mason Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club and Fire District 2.

Another part of me kept my story carefully tucked away. It was safer this way…
When I read, Maya Angelou’s memoir, Gather Together in My Name, something inside of me woke up. I was stirred beyond belief. I thought, “Here’s someone I have so much admiration and respect for who shared some of the darker periods in her life. If she can do it, so can I.”
Yet, something inside of me had woken. I reached a point where I could no longer hide out. I could wait no longer to tell my story. It was one of those, “I don’t want to carry my story to my grave.”
Will I achieve my outcomes?
I’ve enjoyed reading your posts all month. Thank you for such relevant information!I just sent my non-fiction book proposal to my editor. She suggested that I change the voice from academic (I’m writing about a variety of spiritual practices) to conversational – add my own experiences and opinions. I realized that, in so doing, it becomes more personal and I become more vulnerable. But, what is artistry without vulnerability?
Kudos to you for being brave to reveal yourself to the world!I ass. I have no secrets I’m afraid to make public, but I do worry about naming names of people who were no help to us and instead are the “villains” in the story. They are dead now, but I do not want to upset the family. So I’m not using their real names, but everyone in this small town will know who they are anyway. I haven’t decided if I am going to publish it, but rather just let my kids and family read it. But if I do pub, I will use your plan to promote it. I WILL use your plan NOW for my upcoming mystery release in November. Thanks so much!
