the overall weight of the duvets. The fillings used as the insert will help in increasing or decreasing the weight. Please consider the tog ratings of the duvet too; these ratings indicate the ability of the cover to trap the warm air within itself.
The covers that come with natural fillings will have better thermal properties than the ones that come with synthetic inserts. This is why we would recommend you to buy 100% pure cotton doona covers for your bedroom. Not many people know that they can now invest in all-season covers. If you think about it, these all-season duvets will come with better versatility and flexibility. Feel free to ask more about the overall volume occupied by the inserts when you are trying to buy these covers. This is because of the fact that the thermal efficiency of the cover is dependent upon the above-mentioned insert volume. </s> By […].
Fukushima children start new school after f leeing radiation

Rivera plays Claire Zachanassian, the world’s richest woman. Returning to her birthplace, the impoverished European town of Brachen, she has a grisly proposition. In exchange for billions of marks, the townspeople are tasked to kill Anton Schell, the former lover who impregnated, then deserted her so many wealthy husbands ago. At first, the people rebel; later, greed gets the best of them.
H’s killed: “I”
John Kander and the late Fred Ebb, who furnished scores for Cabaret,” “Chicago” and “The Kiss of the Spider Woman” (the last two also starring Rivera), are obviously no strangers to serious, even degenerative theater. Having dealt with Nazis, mobs and discrimination, they’re right at home with grotesqueries.
Written in 1956, only a few years after World War II, Dürrenmatt’s drama has a thematic connection to that conflict. Half-Gypsy, half-Jewish in this version, Claire, once an outcast in the town, has amassed enough wealth through a series of husbands to insure her power, giving people what they outwardly reject yet secretly desire. If she is not granted justice, she will buy it. Power rests not in loving but conquering, as the oppressed becomes the oppressor. “I can afford a new world order,” she says, a remark not far removed from what the Nazis promulgated.
Rivera, looking smashing in designer Ann Hould Ward’s fur-trimmed outfit, is commanding. When, as Claire, she says, “I’m unkillable,” it’s Rivera who reaps a huge round of appreciative applause. No, the 81-year-old Rivera can’t do those high kicks anymore, although choreographer Graciela Daniele has given her a shimmering pas de deux with her younger self. Further, her husky singing voice could use repair. But her stage chops have not diminished, even though the original material has been romanticized by Terrence McNally and is less chilling than when the Lunts so magnificently acted the parts of Claire and Anton.
Credits are top-notch, from Ward’s costumes to Japhy Weideman’s creepy lighting, Dan Moses Schreier’s sound design, David Loud’s conducting of Larry Hochman’s orchestrations and, especially, Scott Pask’s ominous setting: a series of massive, diminishing columns, reminders of a decaying railroad station. Tendrils crawl up its façade, punctuating its forbidding solidity. It’s the perfect metaphor for a tale that is both real and surreal, optimistic and pessimistic, resilient and despairing. Much like life.

Dr. Alexander’s NDE is important because he isn’t just some random guy who drowned and was resuscitated; it is important because he knows about “endogenous glutamate blockade with excitotoxicity,” the limbic system, the lateral amygdala, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) “dumps,” cortical function, etc.
Thanks! I haven’t had a chance to review as many books this summer… Time flies.
We surely don’t live in an age of discovery and wonder about God’s work, we are lost in morass, trying to explain away what they don’t understand…and obeying political masters who will only fund if they think right.
Me and a close friend use to argue these points while working at a jet engine test system, those long days working hard both mentally and physically (complex pressure and flow calculations, heavy fuel hoses and heavy equipment) gave us a lot of warm up for discussing such things. For him, the fact the universe had order and that we could perceive it with the sciences was proof that there was no God. For me, as a former atheist, it was irrefutable proof that there is. The only real difference between us was that I saw the possibilities in what we did not know yet, while he dismissed them as irrelevant. The Atheist always argues that we should only believe what we can see and touch…when even insects can perceive our world better than we can and most of the world we live in is unseen. I won the argument…but I guess one person at a time.
This sort of book has a bad reputation these days because of the rash of “heaven tourism” stuff put out by (usually) Pentecostal people claiming their 3 year old kid saw heaven. There was a big one a few years back (written by a guy actually named Malarkey, no joke), and the son who allegedly died, went to heaven, saw rainbow horses and sat on Jesus’ lap, repudiated it once he was a young adult. He said he had made it up, then elaborated on it as he saw how happy and excited it made his dad and others.
I stick with the Resurrection of Christ. It’s not as jazzy as rainbow horses, and more of an argument from reliable authority, but the authority is very reliable.
Even if one tries to totally dismiss Dr. Alexander’s NDE, the medical story is fascinating. From a scientific point of view, he should have never had such an experience in that coma because his brain was, for all intents and purposes, fried. And when he did come out of his coma, he should have never recovered like he did. He should be a shell of his former self — but that didn’t happen. He’s perfectly fine. In fact, he was transformed for the better. It’s a very thought-provoking story.

Get a Quote from Desjardins Insurance – Win Gas for a Year:


The elk rut has begun.
Yet, within ten years, efforts were underway to reintroduce the species back into the region. In 1918, seven Rocky Mountain elk (two bulls and five cows) were brought in from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and released in southern Cheboygan County near the Sturgeon River, between Wolverine and Vanderbilt. The area was cut over, burnt over and wide open, while also providing good thermal cover, making it a prime environment for the new herd to thrive.
This year, conservationists, nature lovers and tourism leaders celebrate the 100th anniversary of the monumental act that brought elk back to Michigan. A poster contest was held, the state’s wildlife license plate was redesigned to feature a bull elk and a new Discovery Center was opened to display historical artifacts for the region.
The new Pigeon River Country Discovery Center opened on Memorial Day weekend and is located on Twin Lakes Road, behind the forest headquarters. According to Sandy Franz, this seven-room historic log cabin——features “original documents and photographs, quotations and recorded interviews which educate visitors about the forest’s history, the people who loved it, the controversies that shaped it and its many recreational offerings.” The center is open Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, from spring through fall, from 10 aPigeonRiverDiscoveryCenter.org.


Working from home is a double-edged sword. It saves the employee sometimes a very long commute, and gives them more opportunities to work in positions they might not otherwise have available in their locations. However, the temptation of having a work station in their home, there is a temptation to work 12-14 hours per day. It's easy to justify "donating" work time since you would normally waste those hours each day sitting in traffic. But that leads to thoughts of, "Hey!I've got insomnia; I'll just log on quickly and finish my presentation or paperwork." "I might as well stay logged in and finish my charting; I'm already saving 3 hours per day not sitting in traffic." The next thing you know, you haven't moved in hours, and your ankles are swollen. My last position, I logged in at 3am since I had insomnia, and my manager and supervisor were logged in and working from the previous day!It was insane!
The health plans are terrible when you consider you're working for the insurance company!


Medication Reconciliation Opportunities and the Medicare AWV
The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is an ideal time to talk to your senior patients about preventing adverse drug reactions.
Do you knowur patient is taking? The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit requires you to review a list of all their medications from all their providers.
A recent poll by the John A. Hartford Foundation found that 33 percent of patients did not have a regular review of their medications.
Medication errors occur in nearly one out of every five doses given to patients. ADRs cause more than 100,000 deaths a year, one of the top five causes of death. If eliminated, ADRs could save the United States $2 billion a year.
Seniors who are eligible for the free AWV take the most medications and therefore are at the most risk for an ADR. For example, interactions among prescribed medications result inby seniors (Budnitz et al, 2007) and one in four seniors receive a medication they should not have been prescribed (Aparusa & Mort, 2004; Salazar et al 2007).
Seniors often see more than one provider and take OTC medications they hear about from the media and friends. Medication reconciliation from a basic drug-to-drug interaction analysis can be provided by most EHRs and pharmacists, but only when they know all the medications a patient is taking.
More complete analysis is provided by the newest science known as "personalized medication prescribing or personalized medicine" which uses pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetic testing.
The patient's DNA is analyzed to determine the patient drug metabolizing gene variants. The most studied enzymes are the members of the Cytochrome P450 family of about 50 liver enzymes. They account for about 75 percents, such as the 2C19 effect on Plavix (clopidogrel). The FDA is so committed to using genetic information to better tailor therapeutic dosing that it has required a "black box warning" on Plavix that says mutations in a patient's genetic profile may render them unable to respond to the drug and placesThey list over 100 other drugs and combinations on their site which could indicate ineffective treatment due to genetic profiles.
The AMA has been developing resources that aim to enhance physicians' understanding of pharmacogenomics. Among those are a CME course on pharmacogenetics, plus a brochure on the genetic variation that influences warfarin dosing.
The most effective analysis of medication interaction is to analyze not only the drug-to-drug interaction, but also the drug-to-DNA interaction. More effective still is to conduct cumulative interaction testing on the effect of each drug as a combination with the genetic profile.
Patients can be separated into genetic classes of poor, intermediate, normal, and ultra-rapid metabolizers of drugs based on their enzyme variations. When a patient who is a poor metabolizer of a particular drug, like a patient with a poor CYP2C19 taking Plavix, he/she will process the drug more slowly or not at all, resulting in increased levels of the drug in his bloodstream and the potential for side effects and toxicity. For an ultra-metabolizer, the standard dose may be ineffective as the drug is processed too rapidly to have its full effect.
Genelex Corporation , a CLIA certified genetic lab in Seattle, has a thorough software program to provide pharmacogenetic analysis, including cumulative testing, which is covered by Medicare. They provide testing supplies direct to the physician and assume the full cost by charging insurance and Medicare.

En geografía, una cuenca endorreica es un área en la que el agua no tiene salida fluvial hacia el océano. El término tiene raíces griegas, endo, "interior" y rhein, "fluir". Cualquier lluvia o precipitación que caiga en una cuenca endorreica permanece allí, abandonando el sistema únicamente por infiltración o evaporación, lo cual contribuye a la concentración de sales. En las cuencas endorreicas en las que la evaporación es mayor que la alimentación, los lagos salados han desaparecido y se forman salares. Las cuencas endorreicas también son denominados sistemas de drenaje interno.
Si bien, en teoría, las cuencas endorreicas se pueden dar en cualquier clima, en la práctica son más comunes en zonas de desierto cálido. Nótese además que, por definición, cualquier lago situado bajo el nivel del mar (p.ej., mar Caspio, mar Muerto) debe ser endorreico y drenar una cuenca hidrográfica endorreica.
Causas de endorreísmo
El carácter de una región cuyas aguas no se vierten al mar puede tener múltiples causas. Puede tratarse del relieve cuando existe una depresión endorreica (cuenca cerrada, bolsón, etc.). En otros casos la causa reside en el clima (evaporación excesiva respecto a la importancia de las precipitaciones) o en la naturaleza del terreno, que, de ser muy permeable, permite una infiltración rápida de las aguas pluviales. A veces concurren ambas circunstancias: la rápida evaporación del agua y el volumen excesivo de la que se infiltra hacen disminuir progresivamente el caudal del río a lo largo de su curso. Queda así agotado antes de que llegue a juntarse con otro río de la red hidrográfica o que alcance la orilla del mar.
Evolución de una cuenca endorreica
En zonas de mayor pluviosidad, el agua se acumulará inicialmente en la depresión rodeada por colinas, en la medida en que el nivel se va elevando, podrá alcanzar el punto más bajo de estas colinas circundantes, y comenzar a salir agua superficialmente en este punto, creando un surco, que podrá evolucionar hasta transformarse en un río. En la medida en que este "surco" se va profundizando, el nivel inicial del lago se irá también reduciendo, hasta crearse un nuevo equilibrio. De esta forma una cuenca endorreica, en tiempos geológicos, se puede ir conectando con otras, y finalmente llegar hasta el mar, en cuyo caso dejará de ser endorreica. Este proceso se puede observar muy claramente en el sistema endorreico del altiplano boliviano-peruano. En efecto, las oscilaciones del nivel del lago Titicaca, en tiempos geológicos, e incluso en tiempos históricos, es determinada por la capacidad del río Desaguadero, el cual discurre por un valle donde pueden producirse deslizamientos de tierra que obstruyen parcialmente el río, lo que limita su capacidad de evacuar las aguas desde el lago Titicaca hacia el lago Poopó. Prueba de esto es que en la década de los 90 se han encontrado ruinas sumergidas de la cultura Tiahuanaco, en la Isla del Sol.

Susanne Sundfør (The Barbican, London, 21/05/18)
At long last, I finally saw her live. This has been a long time coming.
I e ‘Accelerate’… *sigh* ). Still, I wasn’t’t As it turned out, yes I would, at the Barbican Centre when she brought her stunning Songs For People in Trouble AV Show out of her native Norway for the first time, during which she would perform the titular album in its entirety. The performance had quite a blurb to live up to. It was described as follows on Susanne Sundfor’s website – “For this tour I want to take you to an alternative universe. I want to tell you a story you haven’t heard before. Me and some amazing musicians and light designers will take you into a musical dreamworld”. That was bold, but damn was it accurate.
Visually the show was stunning, as the band performed behind a translucent projector screen. The band were perfectly visible under the right light, and images could float around them. At times this was both terrifying and hypnotic. I won’t soon forget watching the real Susanne at her piano, before I jumped out of my skin when her 30ft face suddenly appeared in front of me.
y ‘The Sound of War’’re actually doing it!
The show was well worth the wait, and I can’t wait to find out what form we will see Susanne in next, considering that this was a show unlike anything she had ever done before, considering she was shaking her booty in her past album era. Whatever it is, I’ll be there next time she pops by.

by Sean Axmaker, Film Festivals, Film Reviews, Silent Cinema
Curating a silent film festival takes a special kind of art. Apart from rediscovered and newly restored films, there is none of the urgency of discovery and representation that drives the selection in the rest of the film festival world. And while 80-90% of all silent films have been lost to time and neglect, that still leaves thousands upon thousands of features and shorts available to programmers at any given time. So how do you choose a dozen programs that balance the known and the unknown, masterpieces and curiosities, while suggesting the scope of thirty-some years of silent cinema from all over the world? I don’t know the secret alchemy, but the programmers of SFSFF have found it. The features of this fest are firmly in twenties, the golden age of silent cinema (the exception is the 1932 Wild Rose, from China’s own golden age of silent cinema), with shorts spanning nearly thirties years. The result is not just an appreciation of the greatness of the art across genres and cultures, it is testament to the state of the art of cinema from the mid-twenties to the dawn of sound, and of the Hollywood filmmaking machine where every cog was a professional at the peak of his profession.

My main issue with the room I had 210 was that late on at night the bar was emptied which created a lot of noise at around 01:00am it was then emptied again/filled i dont know which at around 06:00am. I was not happy with that obvioulsy, also the shower did not work properly, I was in a rush in the morning as had a 3 hour drive ahead of me, followed by 7 hour drive after that. When I got there it was late at night and all I wanted to do was have a quick drink then go to bed!
The room was way to stuffy, we opened the window but the traffic on the main road was incredibly loud (lots of farm vehicles seem to frequent this route) The most irritating issue was the water pressure which was ridiculous. A little more than sprinkle came out of the shower, impossible to wash hair or really feel clean which was not cool after a long day of travelling. The handle on the toilet took three flushes to get any water to come through....


Street art defies the conventional approach by directly opening a conversation with the public and cutting out the middle man; which is usually a gallery or museum.
Street art is a new approach in the Kingdom that is receiving plenty of support from the public, according to Jordanian artists.
“Jordan is a newborn child; it is still adapting as people are trying to get into street art. Generally, it is a golden age for the Jordanian art community. In street art, there is no closed community that controls the buyers and the sellers.” Attar said.
Attar, who started his career as a street artist in 2012, believes that public art has more responsibility than institutionalised art, as the public has a say in the content displayed.
Qudah added that what makes street art significant is that it is a meeting point between architecture and visual art.
“Both worlds collide to produce another dimension. I have respected the idea that you do not have to have a certain background to be welcomed into this world and that is what I wanted to be part of,” Qudah told The Jordan Times.
“People have their own measures for what they will accept on their walls. If they don’t like the output, they might destroy the work or draw over it. In a sense, it is their right to express acceptance or rejection. People’s interaction with the work affects its life span”, Raed Asfour, director of Al Balad Theatre said.
When an artist is painting a mural, residents sometimes come out to help as well, according to Asfour, who said that in many cases, children assisting the artist gain credit for their work.
The Jordanian art scene is being pushed forward as youth continue to gain exposure. However, in many cases, such progress is being limited to the capital city.
“Amman is a collective society, all activities in Jordan happen in Amman because it is the only place that has exposure to... globalism,” Qudah added.


Cyclones have an answer for WVU
Wednesday night the Cyclones made not only the outside shots they missed at the Coliseum, but became the third straight team to abuse West Virginia in the paint, as well.
The result? The Cyclones took a lead over the Mountaineers early, let them get close, but always had an answer in an 83-66 win over WVU.
"We let them score in the paint and guys who didn't make shots [in Morgantown] came home and made shots,'' said West Virginia forward Remi Dibo. "That's really all there was to it.''
"The first time we made shots and spread them. This time, they made shots and spread us,'' West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. "Yeah, it pretty much comes down to that.''
The loss was the third in a row for West Virginia (15-13, 7-8 Big 12) and almost certainly ends any chance the Mountaineers had of making a late-season push with a strong finish and working it's likely now that anything short of winning out and then perhaps even winning the Big 12 tournament won't be enough.
It wasn't the only difference in the game, though. Iowa State battered West Virginia inside, just as Texas and Baylor had done in the last two games. The Cyclones outscored WVU 46-24 in the paint, making the total over the last three games 130-50.
"We have no one to throw it in to,'' Huggins said. "But I've said that from the beginning.''
Harris, booed every time he touched the ball after he was ejected from the teams' first game in Morgantown, missed five of his six 3-point tries.
Iowa State got 24 points from Georges Niang, 17 points and 11 rebounds from Marshall transfer DeAndre Kane and 15 each from Dustin Hogue and Long.

Renato Civelli (born 14 October 1983 in Pehuajó) is an Argentine football defender who currently plays for OGC Nice.
Civelli started his career at Banfield in the Primera Division Argentina. After 2 years with the club he was signed by Marseille in January 2006, during the European winter transfer window. He returned to Argentina on a one year loan contract after the 2006-07 season, joining Gimnasia at the start of the 2007 Apertura. From Feb 2009, due to the Julien Rodriguez's injury, he has played as central defender for several matches and has gained respect from the manager and the supporters.
Without a place in the team and after becoming Free Agent, Renato returned to Argentina to play in San Lorenzo de Almagro during the 2009-2010 league after refusing several offers made by English, German, Spanish, Italian and Belgian teams. He is the new purchase of OGC Nice, the Argetinean of Olympique Marseille with right of ransom, will be introduced to the press this morning.

Whatever the original trigger for the arrest, apparently this time reason and the suasion of a large savvy crowd with cameras won out over one cop's overzealous flag-worship or an imagined wound to his prerogative. His superior officers (there were plenty on the scene) must have seen the senselessness of this particular arrest, but in the end it was more likely that Nerolla was released because "it was too much


This resurrection spell allowed the caster to bring back a person from the dead. However, despite its name, it was arguably closer to a reanimation spell.
After suffering badly from Joyce's death, Dawn decided to perform a resurrection spell. After reading secretly from the History of Witchcraft and stealing from The Magic Box, she was eventually caught by Spike, who then promised to help her complete the spell. Spike brought Dawn to Doc, who, while skeptical at first because neither Dawn nor Spike were adept at magic, said that Joyce's DNA was strong enough for the spell to pull through. Doc helped them identify the missing ingredients for the spell. He also provided the incantation that must be recited, as well as the steps to follow to complete it, and in the case of any mistake, to reverse it. Dawn was apparently successful in completing the spell but eventually ended it when Buffy convinced her that the spell was not the right way to solve their problems, leaving it unclear if she performed it correctly.
Presumably based on the real person's memories, a cyborg duplicate of Roger Wyndam-Pryce told Winifred Burkle that his son Wesley, at age 7, tried to perform this spell to resurrect a bird who had flown into his windowpane.
The spell required the dirt from a grave, the egg of a Ghora demon and a photo of the person being resurrected. Once all the materials were completed, they were placed inside a sacred circle.
The caster must then recite an incantation three times for the spell to take effect. The incantation is as follows:
Taker of life, god of gods, accept my offering. Bone, flesh, breath. Yours eternally.
Bone, flesh, breath. I beg of you, return to me.
Doc mentioned that the target of the spell would not appear immediately, but would come to the caster eventually.
The only way to reverse the spell was to destroy the image or picture of the person being raised.


The Hampton Assembly #2 Installation of Officers was great!  Not only was their theme wonderful but this Assembly had amazing decorations. I was so happy to be able to go their Installation and meet their new Worthy Advisor Alexis with her amazing Disney theme which included Minnie and Micky Mouse,  I just want to wish them the best term and let them know that Richmond Assembly #10 is only one call or text away.  But still, congratulations to Hampton and we love you all so much.

A Conversation with @Atheist_Deity
It was during a back-and-forth with some guys on Twitter that I had the idea to write”Is God a Jerk?”
After Part 3 was published, one of the gentlemen I debated with chimed in with his response to my conclusions. I’ve really appreciated his and my interactions as they’ve lacked the vitriol that so often accompany God-debates.
Maybe you’re thinking, “Why is he wasting his time?” I just want to be faithful to the command we have to be salt and light and to the example given to us by Paul. In Acts 17, “Paul was waiting for [Timothy and SilasIf the Bible appears to have contradictions, those should be called out. Unfortunately, what happens is someone will address what appears to be an inconsistency, then a highly qualified individual will explain in very clear, logical, and scholarly ways how the apparent contradiction is, in fact, not one at all . . . but then people ignore the data and continue to propone the falsehood! That’s what I was arguing needs to stop. Though I may not have all of the answers myself, I am not aware of a single biblical critique that actually reveals a flaw in the Bible. So, 1. If there’s an issue, address it. But 2. If the issue is put to bed, drop it. And since there are no attacks that have been levied against the Scriptures that are actually, verifiably legitimate, I wonder when people will finally get tired of losing that battle and try to argue God’s inexistence some other way.


Pentecost 4A
I understand twin brothers, since I am one and have one. I understand both the friendly rivalry and bare-knuckled competition between twin offspring.
Growing up we’d wrestle and fight. We’d tussle. We’d race. We once we competed for the same girl (I won). And when we started our careers we tried to “one-up” the other in terms of salary and status.
Esau was Isaac’s favorite because he probably lived vicariously through his son’s ultra-masculine accomplishments. Jacob was Rebekah’s favorite perhaps because she saw a lot of herself in him.
Jacob and Esau never got along. Rebekah could feel the fist fights in her womb. And at the moment of their births, Jacob grabbed hold of Esau’s heal in an apparent attempt to “trip” his brother on his way out the door. Which is why Isaac and Rebekah named him “Jacob” which means “heel” or “leg puller” or “tripper-upper.”
They were as different as wine and petroleum. They fought because they wanted to show the other whose path was better.
And today’s Old Testament story tells us just how far their competition and animosity went.
“I’t,” Jacob offers, which is quite the stunning condition to put on a simple bowl of lentils.
The birthright, which traditionally went to the oldest son, was their inheritance; the majority of land and wealth that was promised to them after their dad died.
And not only the land and wealth, but position and power. Esau was in line to take over the leadership of God’s people after Isaac went to his grave. Esau, presumably was being groomed for this job, since Isaac showed such favoritism toward him.
But as you read the story, the narrator clearly wants to the birthright to go to Jacob. The narrator can’t FATHOM Esau taking over the reigns from Isaac. Jacob is clearly the right one to lead.
“What good is a birthright if I die today of hunger,” Esau says. And that’s the punchline.
Esau is clearly not up to the job. He’s not interested in living up to his family and community obligations. He find comfort in the present moment, and lacks the capacity to envision a new and better life for himself and those he is called to lead.
I keep staring at him because I see something of him in me. And in us. He’s like a mirror reflecting back at us those parts we’d not admit about ourselves.
For me it’s the constant struggle of living according to my appetites rather than according to the vision of life and health that God wants for me. W Of being in constant competition with those who are supposed to be my partners.
For us I see in him our sense of worry for the coming years. Overall church decline. The battle to include all people  Decreasing influence in society. Diminishing resources. We’re slowly and painfully fading away.
Conversations about our future are often more about bringing back what once was rather than building something new. We keep to see what God has in store for us. We’re looking for restoration or resuscitation, rather than resurrection.
That’s what I hear from certain sectors as we prepare for the national convention. “If those motions are passed that will mean the end of the church!” they scream, as if God is waiting for a certain amount of moral purity to restore our church to it’s former glory. As if God chooses only the holiest and most righteous saints to build Christ’s church. As God will be boxed into a corner from which God cannot escape. As if our birthright was born from our obedience.
Jacob didn’t receive the birthright, the opportunity to lead God’s people because he was handsome, smart, and smooth-skinned, where his brother was ugly, hairy, and dumb.
Nor did Jacob receive the birthright because he was the virtuous one and his brother was a moral midget. This was a game both of them lost.
And this isn’t easy. Especially when world is changing so fast and we have trouble seeing what’s coming next.
Some see change as unbridled chaos and long for a simpler time when everything seemed fixed. When our lives were fixed and ordered, we knew our places, and the future looked just as stable as the past.
But instead of mere change, others see creation unfolding faster than in any other time in history. And we have been chosen to witness to God’s future vision here today.
This is OUR time to bear witness to God’s love for the world. This is OUR time to tell God’s saving story. This is OUR time to be God’s healing presence.
This is not a time to stop the clock or to turn it back. God is calling us to march forward into the future, proudGod’s reign of justice, of mercy, of forgiveness, of freedom, of peace, and of healing is HERE - right now - in Jesus Christ.
That is our calling. That is our birthright. May this be so among us. Amen!
Amen indeed! This is excellent, Kevin. Thanks for it.

HomeUpcoming: CALIFORNIA by Edan Lepucki (Little, Brown)
I’m a huge fan of Stephen Colbert, and I’ve always found his show amusing. A few years back, I believe, he first mentioned the phenomena of the “Colbert Bump”, which saw some authors and musicians enjoying a spike in sales after appearing or featuring on his show. Last night, while checking Facebook, I came upon a mention of Edan Lepucki’s novel, California, having received a bump, too. I’m sad to say I hadn’t clocked the novel before I saw the article – whether this is an example of how well celebrity endorsements work, or just my general oblivious aspect, who knows. Anyway, it sounds interesting, so I thought I’d feature it here. It appears to be another recent example of “literary dystopia” fiction. Here’s the synopsis…
California will be published in the US in early July 2014, by Little, Brown. It is not available on Amazon, as they continue to strong-arm all Hachette US imprints. I couldn’t find any details about a UK publisher. Here’s hoping it comes to these shores soon, though. It’s available for request via NetGalley. The author is on Goodreads and Twitter.

Q: What is the use cases for Azure file storage? .
So when the user request I need to get the data from 100 files in a single call.
At first, I was accessing the files using native file IO methods after mounting the fileshare in the Azure VM. But it was slow due to file IO. Then I changed the native file IO to Azure Rest API and it was slightly fast.
What was the exact use cases for file storage?
If you want to upload a lot of data you should look into azure blob storage. Depending on your scenario it might be more cost effective

–Anthopoulos said catching prospect J.P. Arencibia has nothing left to prove in the Minors. He has earned a shot in the big leagues. Will it be as a starter or backup?
I'm all for Jose Bombista at third full time. Good corner outfielders are a lot easier to find than good third baseman. is it too early to go after a Carl Crawford or a Jason Werth?
Congratulations, to Paul Beeston for getting the plan and budgets approved and to Alex Anthopoulos, the scouts and player development group for implementing a solid plan….Going from 29th to 8th in one year with Baseball America is a solid achievement and proves the people and plan put into place is working well…
It probably also suggests in a year or so, the Jays minor league system will be back to the top 2-3 systems in baseball, where it belongs…


Alice Cunningham Fletcher Facts
Fletcher's first field work was undertaken in 1881, when on a camping trip with a missionary party she visited some Native American settlements in Nebraska and South Dakota. She then took up concentrated research of the Omaha tribe, who remained her primary interest, although she studied other Plains groups and published important works on them. Her best-known work, The Omaha Tribe (1911), was written with the assistance of Francis La Flesche, an educated member of the tribe

Rothesay Primary School held their first ever Eco day on Monday 9th May. It was a huge success. The Eco committee worked with teachers to organise lots of different activities and all 255 pupils took part. Some of the favourite things were making (and eating) fruit kebabs, making bird feeders, parachute games, Eco art, making Earth mobiles, and singing Eco songs. We also picked up every scrap of litter from the playground. The whole school learnedability, too.
Nobody got lost because the Eco team made signs to carry that showed endangered animals, and Rothesay Academy's Eco committee were on hand to help us. We wore Eco colours and raised £96 towards Eco funds.
The day raised awareness of Eco issues in the whole school community, and was great fun at the same time!

used when talking about or calculating the MTM, meaning the Mark-to-Market
or the value of a trade.
Meaning that this term described when talking about the greeks. The word greeks is often shown as lower
case because it is referring to the Greek letters used in the field of risk
management and not the Greek people. The greeks are often uses for analyzing options.
used when talking about or calculating the PnL, meaning the Profit
and/Loss, meaning the change in value (MTM) from one day to the next.
used when talking about or calculating PnL Explained
In the context of PnL Explained, cross effects are the
changes in value of a portfolio of trades from changing two things (e.g.,
prices and volatilities) simultaneously versus the cumulative effects of
changing each item separately.
Gamma PnL Explained
Changes in the value of a trade from changing multiple
prices simultaneously versus the cumulative effects of changing each price
Price/Volatility PnL Explained
Changes in the value of a trade from changing prices
volatilities simultaneously versus the cumulative effects of changing each
For example, if a trade is valued at $100 on one day and
valued at $110 if you just change the prices (to the next day's prices) and
valued at $105 if you just change the volatilities then the cumulative effect
would be $10 from price changes and $5 from volatility changes = $15 in
total. However, because of
price/volatility cross effects you might find that the new value is $116.50
and not $15. The $10 is 'Impact of Prices'

At Home: The pink pass me down...
Beau is a metro sort of guy. He has inherited his big sisters pink 'onesie'. I love the new term, 'onesie'. These all in one sleep suits have been a staple winter sleep suit in our house for years. They are a great invention for kids, and perhaps adults too.
Heating oil is so expensive these days. Its around 67p a litre, and I am guessing other heating options are not much cheaper for other people either. We are lucky to have a the wood burner, which is often left to work on a large log late into the night. It is enough to take the absolute chill off the house.

At many places on Xi's route slums have been covered, but leaders of Asian nations have no reason to hide the stark realities, reports Sheela Bhatt/Rediff.com from Ahmedabad.
Ahmedabadis are awestruck to see the government machinery bending over backwards to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Ram Singh, an assistant in a local NGO, lives opposite Sabarmati ashram where in a few hours Prime Minister Narendra Modi will give a guided tour to President Xi. Singh has taken leave because of the heavy security around the place. More than 5000 security personnel are guarding the venues Xi will visit today.
On Tuesday Modi had strongly recommended that world leaders who visit India should also see its small states and towns. It’s an excellent idea whose time has come as there is more real power in state capitals now than ever before.
Locals are overwhelmed to see the cleanliness drive undertaken on the route to be taken by Xi, with DDT sprayed everywhere as Ahmedabad is notorious for mosquitoes, like most small towns are. Vastrapur, the Sabarmati riverfront area, and Ashram road have been spruced up. The scores of speed-breakers on the route from the airport to the city centre have been removed so that Modi and Xi's cars can glide across.
However, allpalaces on Xi's route the slums have been covered, image, left. In fact, therealities but in Ahmedabad, in many places, the slums are covered up. One would like to think that such a reality check should not have been avoided for two great nations.
Problems abound in both nations in their urban areas, towns and villages. In smaller places like Ahmedabad huge halls are not available as easily as in Delhi. Gujarat government officers says there was no space in a small hall in the Hyatt to accommodate journalists for the Modi-Xi a signing ceremony so the media has been left in the lurch.
Only a few weeks earlier Hyatt hotel was raided by the Ahmedabad municipal corporation as the tomato puree in its kitchen was outdated. Such are the petty problems of hosting great leaders in smaller places where there are not so many alternatives.
Also, since the SPG doesn't have much experience of small places, they go paranoid to see things working at a slow pace.
However, as is the case with Gujaratis, they like business-friendly people and leaders. Gujarat and China have a quite promising business relationship. From Saurashtra, cotton, groundnuts and chillies are exported. Morbi town has quite a warm relationship with China and many of its ceramic exporters’ offices also show Beijing time. Gujaratis export goods worth Rs 5000 crore to China but the imports are much more, particularly of wall tiles and vitrified tiles.
Since the Modi-Xi relationship will have more emphasis on business than strategic, it makes sense to start Xi’s tour from Gujarat. Ahmedabadis would not mind a few traffic restrictions so long as the China Development Bank brings in loans at lower rates.

age extends back even further. Tspeak about when the Earth was young. Even though the Americas' early inhabitants had a complex astronomical knowledge, advanced mathematics, and sophisticated architecture, writing never developed in the Americas as it did elsewhere. Scholars overlooked the Native American spiritual traditions in favor of Judaism, Christianity, and Buddhism, which left behind written records. For example, while Western theologians have been studying Buddhism for more than two centuries, it has been only in the last forty years that any serious interest has emerged in the study of Native American spirituality. The study of shamanism was left to anthropologists, who, with notable exceptions such as Margaret Mead, were poorly trained to study the spirit.
> The wholesale destruction of the North American Indians by the European settlers drove the remaining Native Americans into disease-ridden reservations, where the elders carefully guarded the spiritual traditions. Understandably, the elders g dominators. The Indios in Peru fared no better. The Spanish conquistadors came to Peru seeking gold and therefore left the Inka spiritual traditions largely undisturbed. Yet what the conquistadors overlooked, the missionaries sought to obliterate.
> The scraggly band of gold seekers that arrived on the South American continent brought a set of beliefs that were incomprehensible to the Indios. The first was that all of the food of the world belonged by divine right to humans—specifically the Europeans—who were masters over the animals and plants of the Earth. The second belief was that humans could not speak to the rivers, to the animals, to the mountains, or to God. And the third was that humankind had to wait until the end of all time before tasting infinity.
> Nothing could have seemed more absurd to the Native Americans. While the Europeans believed they had been cast out of the mythical Garden of Eden, the Indios understood they were the stewards and caretakers of the Garden. They still spoke with the thundering rivers and the whispering mountains and still heard the voice of God in the wind. T"What kind of god is this that does not speak?"
>———the phallus, or tree of life. Church steeples rose to heaven. The feminine Earth was no longer worshiped or respected. The trees, animals, and forests were available for plundering.
> Today we still live in the grip of this disconnected worldview. We believe that if it does not breathe, move, or grow, it is not alive. We view energy from sources such as wood, oil, or coal as a fuel that we employ. In the ancient world, energy was considered the living fabric of the Universe. Energy was creation made manifest. Perhaps the most important contemporary expression of this belief was formulated by Albert Einstein when he din his equation E = MC2. In the West we identify with the side of matter, which is by nature finite. The shaman identifies with the side of energy, which is by nature infinite.
>ancient Americans and the modern ones. Today we are people of the precept. We are a rule-he Ten Commandments, or .  of the concept. They were interested not in ruleswas nothing as powerful as an idea whose time had come. Shamans are people of the percept. When they want to change the world, they engage in perceptual shifts that change their relationship to life. They envision the possible, and the outer world changes. This is why a group of Inka elders will t their grandchildren to inherit.
> One reason why the practices of energy healing have been kept so closely guarded is that they are often mistaken for a set of techniques, in the same way that Western medicine is sometimes regarded as a set of procedures. We

Based on what counselors often say, being away from home evokes a sense of freedom to most people. It's as if you can eat or do anything that comes to mind without much care in the world. Many also forget their diet and exercise routines, thinking they can accomplish both once they're back.
Before hopping on to the vehicle that'll take you to your holiday destination, therefore, read these seven ways to stay healthy while traveling.
If we base our opinion on how the folks mentioned above think of stress, we can tell that people are either annoyed or afraid of it. It makes you restless; it keeps you from having quality time alone or with family. Not to mention, stress is known as the ultimate factor that triggers many physical and mental disease out there. That's why it undoubtedly has a bad reputation in the eyes of everyone.


The Washington Nationals have been poking around the market looking for a top-tier relief pitcher and indications are they have talked to the Cincinnati Reds about Aroldis Chapman and the San Diego Padres about Craig Kimbrel, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.com.
Chapman, 27, is arguably the best closer in the game. Before writing this article I asked a couple players about their thoughts on Chapman and one of them quickly responded with the fire emoji. Having Chapman and Storen close out games pitched by Max Scherzer, Jordan Zimmermann or any one of their pitchers would be virtually unfair. That said, the Reds’ asking price for Chapman is three “higher-level prospects in return,” Stark adds.

Once she gained more confidence, Villanueva was determined to get her GED and apply for nursing school at Grayson College. Lance said she saw her student mature quickly over the two months she worked with Villanueva.
Since Taylor has been with the HOPE GED program, she has seen more people joining the program to get their GED because more jobs require a high school diploma or GED than did not before.
Villanueva’s daughter has been her biggest motivation and going to school has brought them even closer together.
Villanueva said she would like to work in a psychiatric hospital to assist doctors and help patients one day. With a job in the nursing field, she hopes to help her husband pay the bills and give her children everything they need.

exercise to illustrate ritual replication and expansion. It does not take away from the significance of other public ceremonies, such as those conducted at the community level. Community rites took place in open areas near water sources, small plazas, and ball courts and leave less obvious evidence; further, archaeologists seldom excavate these areas (e.g., Davis-Salazar 2003; Fox 1996; LeCount 1996; Robin 2002). Evidence for dedication, ancestor veneration, and termination rites, however, abounds. And if it can be shown that these rites were replicated and expanded, it follows that other traditional rituals also were, especially water ceremonies.
The Ethnographic Record:Syncretism
The material expression of Maya rituals has continued from prehispanic times to the present (Deal 1988). Beliefs have not. There have been dramatic changes in the last millennium, including the abandonment of Maya centers and parts of the southern Maya lowlands in the AD 900s, Spanish conquest in the 1500s, forced settlement nucleation, conversion to Christianity, and depopulation due to foreign diseases. Today we at least can record people's beliefs revolving around present rites even though they themselves can vary, as Lee (1998, 2000) illustrates in the Mennonite case. For example, in the Lacandon village of Najá in southeastern Chiapas, Mexico, the Maya are still largely non-Christian and practice the "old" ways (McGee 1990:6–7); however, on their list of principal deities (1990 :Table 6.1) is at least one new god, Akyantho, a postconquest addition (p. 22). Akyantho "is the god of foreigners and commerce.... he looks like a light-skinned foreigner wearing a hat and carrying a pistol.... He is also responsible for the existence of foreign objects such as medicine, hard liquor, cattle, horses, and disease" (p. 65). Jesus Christ (Hesuklistos) is recognized as a minor, though foreign, deity (p. 70), but not one to be worshiped by the Lacandon (p. 126).
Most Maya, however, have converted to one form of Christianity or another. Consequently, many of their rituals, while materially the same as those of prehispanic ones, serve as the expressive core of a different ideology and religion. For example, in the Yucatán village of Chan Kom, Robert Redfield and Alfonso Villa Rojas (1934:83) note that traditional agricultural ceremonies are tied to the religious calendar of the Catholic Church, especially saints' days. Shamans ( _h-menob_ ) lead ceremonies and use ritual equipment from the past, including crystals for divination and gourds for drinking a sacred alcoholic drink ( _balche_ ) (pp. 74–75). They also still believe in "pagan" gods, including _balams_ ("guardians of the milpa and village"), _chaacs_ ("gods of rain"), and _kuilob kaaxob_ ("deities of the forest") (pp. 112–113).
Shamans are also involved in the "new house" or dedication ceremony (e.g., Redfield and Villa Rojas 1934:146), a practice found throughout the Christian and non-Christian Maya world. Dedication rituals are performed to animate new houses and other objects. Part of such rituals includes the caching of objects under house floors. For example, Evon Vogt (1993:52–55) describes the two stages of the dedication ceremony during and after house construction for the Catholic Zinacantan Maya of highland Chiapas. During construction, builders bury the heads of sacrificed chickens in the floor with other offerings. Afterward, a shaman performs rites to compensate the Earth Lord for the materials he has provided as well as to "summon the ancestral gods to provide the house with an innate soul" (Vogt 1993:52). Again, more offerings are buried in the floor of the new house (Vogt 1970:78, 98; see also Wauchope 1938:143). Part of the rite includes reciting prayers to the gods, including references to the Christian God, the Virgin Mary, and Jesus Christ (Vogt 1993:53–54).
In Chichicastenango of highland Guatemala, Ruth Bunzel (1952) notes similar syncretic practices. The Quiché Maya, while mostly Catholic, also still conduct "housebuilding" ceremonies (p. 37) led by a shaman (p. 77). They classify power into at least nine realms, which involve both Christian and non-Christian elements (pp. 266–267): "The World"; phenomena of nature; saints; "idols" (ancient); "forces of destiny.... The 'twelve-thirteen moons and stars' (i.e., time and destiny); the 260 days of the sacred... and the life-token animals of individuals"; death bringers—"The Lord of Sickness and Pain"; masters of useful activities, including the patron deities of agriculture, weaving, business, industry, writing, midwifery, medicine, divination, and sorcery; Lords of Justice (e.g., deceased _alcaldes_ or leaders); and souls of the dead—the "first people," the common souls, and one's own ancestors.
The ancestors are the most important supernatural component in the life of the Quiché Maya, however, as well as among other Maya groups. "The powers whose influence on human affairs is continuous and unremitting are the ancestors, who represent the great moral force" (Bunzel 1952:269). Bunzel details the importance of ancestors in everyday life (p. 18) and their role in the continuance of fertile land, rain, plentiful crops, and good health (p. 56). Among the Zinacantecos, ancestral gods are even more important than the Earth Lord (Vogt 1970:6). Ancestor veneration rites are thus performed to honor and thank ancestors. Part of such rituals involves keeping an ancestor's remains close to home and making offerings. Although ancestors live in sacred places such as caves or mountains, at least through colonial times their physical remains and offerings were kept close to home, buried in the floors of houses, as Bishop de Landa describes for colonial Yucatán (Tozzer 1941:130). In the ethnographic present, most people are buried in cemeteries or in plots near the home; but as R. Jon McGee (1990:117, 1998) describes among the Lacandon, the dead are still buried with grave goods; "A variety of grave goods including both food and the deceased's personal possessions are left at the gravesite" (1990:117).
Termination rites are part of the renewal ceremony—for the new year, for example, or after the death of a family member when life must begin anew. For example, in the Lacandon village of Najá, if a dead person's spirit does not leave people in peace, the family moves to a new house (McGee 1990:115). Termination rituals also are performed to deactivate or deanimate houses or objects, thus releasing their soul before being renewed. Part of such rituals includes breaking objects, partially destroying houses, and burning incense. For the new year in colonial Mexico, Bishop de Landa notes, "To celebrate it with more solemnity, they renewed on this day all the objects which they made use of, such as plates, vessels, stools, mats and old clothes and the stuffs with which they wrapped up their idols. They swept out their houses..." (Tozzer 1941:151) and deposited old items as contaminated sacred trash outside of town (p. 152). Similarly, among the Lacandon, a feature of the renewal ceremony is the manufacture of new incense-burners, the building of new fires, and the use of new utilitarian goods (Tozzer 1907:106). Old incensarios, jars, and other items are "terminated," taken out of habitation areas to a nearby cliff, and deposited in a specific place below a ledge, thus


We’re going to see in this tutorial a few basic operations with the images using Opencv with Python.
Watching the video we will understand:
How the computer sees the image.
How to select a specific area of the image
How to print or change the value of a pixel
We load the image and we get its shape. Getting the shape means tha we get the rows (the pixels in height of the image), the columns or cols (the pixels in width of the image) and the numbers channels.
If the channel is one it means it’s a grayscale image, if the channels are 3 (blue, green and red) it means it’s a colored image.
rows, cols, ch = image.shape
Roi stands for Region of Interest. In this next line of code we select a specific region of the image. The first two numbers “[100: 200,” defines respectively the starting end ending row. The last two instead define start and ending of the colomn.
roi = image[100: 280, 150: 320]
We can print or edit a specific pixel. When we print a pixel we get it’s value. To change the value of a pixel we need to specific the new value.

Poured out 100% solid black and that is the end of a good review. The taste, the mouthfeel and the aroma are all very average. First time Ive had a beer from Bells this average really subpar for Bells.
Pours a deep opaque sable with a fairly thick tan head. Aroma is rich and smoky with undertones of coffee, cherries and unsweetened chocolate. Smoky, slightly sweet flavor has a firm and slightly sour cherry tone as well as hints of coffee and chocolate. Silky smooth texture is just a little tingly.
I had this beer at Beamer's in Roanoke, VA. Here's the thing - it's a cherry beer but it was WAY OVER THE TOP. There isn't much I don't like by Bells but this was REALLY hard to drink.
Pours medium brown with a tall, tan head. The aroma boasts roasted coffee and chocolate, the cherry kicks in as the beer hits room temperature. The flavor is chocolately with a ton of cherry-sourness. Kind of a thin, full-body with strong carbonation. Decent but doesn't really live up to the Bell's that I know and love.
pours a dark brown with lighter brown highlights with a small creamy tan head forms with sticky foam on the sides, leaving virtually nothing a top. The aroma has a plenty of chocolate malt and a slight metallic note. A fleeting whiff of cherries. The taste is tart, sour cherry. This dominates until the finish, where some mildly bitter chocolate finishes things up. The mouthfeel is smooth and a little velvety, though there is a tartness that creates a puckering reaction.
Finally bought this brew after years of skipping it at Riley's. Pours a dark reddish brown body, nice brown head. Aroma is tart fruit, fermented fruit and oak. Taste is creamy, tart cherries, chocolate, and brown sugar flavors. Lots of little spritz in the glass. An inexpensive desert like beer.
Kind of like a stout meets a sour, the stout starts the experience but then is overrun by the sour cherries. Aroma is mostly roasted malts and cherry.  Not really the best beer experience out there.
bells continues to impress. seems to be a polarizing beer, but i thought it was quite good. the sweet tart cherry aspect was subdued in the aroma til it got to room temp. lots of chocolate and roasted malt. big aroma, flavor, and full thick feel for a 7% brew. vinous. cool balance of sweet malt, chocolate, roasted grain, a touch of hops, and tart cherries with a semisweet finish.
Sampled this right after trying the Kalamazoo Stout for the first time. Wishing I got extra Kalamazoo instead. I have been wanting to try this for a while, so grabbed a single to preview. I liked the Kalamazoo a lot better. This actually reminded me of the Kalamazoo as far as the base goes, but the added cherry juice didn't do it for me. I think I it is official, I like my beers brewed with fruit....not with juice added. The appearance is still thick and dark, with an added red tint cause of the cherry and all. It was kind of cool at first, but in the end I think it was a little odd and took away the awe that a midnight black gives. I'll repeat, can't wait to buy a 6'er of the Kalamazoo though!
In my beer run earlier today, this one caught the eye. Pours like a syrup, richly dark with mahogany tones. A big richly tan foamy head rises above. Some hang time, settling eventually into a thickcap atop the body. I get notes of coffee in the nose. The body is thick and nicely carbonated to provide a smooth ride down the olde gullet. The tart cherries take front stage in the tasting with a backdrop of chocolate and the coffee that was in the nose. Bell’s delivers again.


A precarious video has crept up on the Intarweb that claims that Sony and its Santa Monica studio are deep in production on God of War III. While we don't doubt that production has started in some fashion, the video shows a pixilated figure that claims that it will be coming out sooner than later.
For starters, Cory Barlog's very own blog refutes the video. A contact from Sony told us that "the video is a hoax." We immediately doubted its believability as Kratos' head does not quite match what we've seen before, and the following concept art could have easily been created by anyone.
