en | N/A | N/A | Our cooling systems offer a wide range of solutions for each application
Minimal running costs and extremely low start-up current are just two reasons that favour using Geoclima units in commercial buildings. In the case of comfort cooling, our units ensure high level energy efficiency ratio (EER) and with control optimisation of the condenser fans, energy savings up to 50% can be achieved. Large commercial buildings in built up areas are often penalised by stringent maximum load tariffs, and it is often the chiller plant that causes the maximum limit to be reached resulting in high cost penalties for the owner/occupier. A conventional compressor on a chiller plant can have a peak starting current of 600 amps or more, whereas a Turbomiser compressor, for example, has a starting current of only 5 Amps reducing the risk of hitting the maximum demand meter dramatically.
Paint shops, wind testing tunnels and environmental test chambers all require cooling of one type or another. Geoclima chillers can be effectively applied no matter what type of cooling system is required, be it air cooled, water cooled, remote air cooled etc. There is also the possibility of heat recovery to further increas factory.
Control of space temperature and humidity is vitally important in this industry. Clean rooms in particular must be designed with utmost care and have to be cooled reliably and efficiently. Our chiller are the perfect solution with their v, total immersion evaporators, micro-channel condenser coils and over-arching intelligent controls. It is clean technology perfectly designed for the Pharmaceuticals industry. |

I spent the first night with my bestie in SLC, laughing and eating and drinking all of our favorite things. I taught a fun class to a packed house of my dearest friends and former students.

en | N/A | N/A | Even if you’re not into the genre, you have to admit that Don Diablo is probably one of the biggest influences to everyone when it comes to Future House.
He’s said that he has always been very passioned about dance music and by starting his own podcast, Don Diablo’s Hexagon Radio, he envisioned sharing that exact same passion with everyone else.
In fact, he started the weekly show over 3 years ago and has now just celebrated its 200th episode.
For this edition he said he wanted to do something special and he totally outdid himself this time. As he said ‘’You wanted something special, we’re doing something special…we have a special guest… and who’s more special than…my mom?’’.
That’s right, on the 200th episode of Hexagon Radio, Don brought his already iconic mother to join both the DJ and the listener through a ride on the Don Diablo’s story. This time he played some of his lesser known tracks and told the story behind them on a 2 hour episode, where he goes from some of his older house tracks to his even older projects.
The most touching moment of the whole show comes in minute [1:02:31] where the dutch DJ and producer plays the never heard before version of his song The Artist Inside in memory of his father. This is a very special track for everyone who’s lost someone and that’s the main reason why Don’s mom asked him to skip to the next one. Music can take the listener into a journey through feelings and as he said, ‘’that’s why this song will forever be the most special song in my life’’.
You can now watch and listen the full episode and as Don would want, share love and peace with everyone around you. |
en | N/A | N/A | Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Dec. 9 promised citizens that their lives will not be affected by the state secrets protection law, but he failed to explain how this will be achieved.
Instead of announcing safeguards against possible abuse, Abe essentially asked the public to place trust in himself, the government and bureaucrats to do the right thing.
“” Abe told a d. “”
Abe mentioned media reports that said private citizens could face severe punishment by blogging about stories they hear from their friends, and that free creative activities, such as filmmaking, will be limited.
“But such things will never happen,” Abe said.
The law was enacted last week amid widespread protests from the public and opposition lawmakers that its vague wording could lead to arbitrary designations of state secrets of any information. Criticism was also lodged at the lack of any independent organization to oversee whether the designations are appropriate.
Abe acknowledged that his efforts to win public support for the bill were lacking.
“ions,” Abe said. “’s concerns.”
The prime minister and the ruling coalition were criticized as ignoring public opinion in their determination to railroad the bill through the Diet.
Abe said that move was needed for the good of Japan.
“It was necessary to enact (the law) as soon as possible, along with establishing the national security council,our citizens,” Abe said.
The state secrets protection law covers four areas: defense; diplomacy; prevention of spying and other harmful activities; and prevention of terrorism. Its purpose, ruling coalition officials say, is to prevent leaks of information that could jeopardize Japan’s national security.
“There have been no rules on how to handle specified secrets so far,” Abe explained.
The prime minister said the security referring to China’s new air defense identification zone that covers skies abov“,” Abe said. “at.”
The Abe administration has vowed to set up monitoring bodies to check the appropriateness of state secret designations. But those organizations will be established within the government, and bureaucrats--the same people with the power to designate state secrets--are expected to play a central role.
The prime minister also did not touch upon how much information will be kept secret after the law takes effect and for how long.
For private sector people allowed to manage state secrets, governmental agencies will be allowed to delve into their personal information, including drinking habits, loans and family members’ nationalities, after obtaining their consent.
Abe said he will make sure everything is on the up and up.
The same day it will be difficult to allow a body completely independent from the government
Although the legislation states that the new law will go into effect within a year, Abe did not give a definitive timeframe.
“I hope to enforce it at an appropriate time, after providing sufficient explanations,” he said. |

en | N/A | N/A | I hate to drop this bombshell on all of you, but I also hate when the government BS's us, especially when lives could be lost due to their misinformation. Almost everything we've been told about Ebola since the beginning of the outbreak is wrong,nd available treatment methods have all been misrepresented.
Amedia can ultimately make the Ebola pandemic worse, because the public isn't being told the truth about how the virus spreads and how to help prevent transmission.
The CDC, media, and that it cannot not spread through the air. This outrageous medical lie could cost the lives of millions of innocent people. This statement is absolutely false, and the U.S. government has known that it's false for YEARS now.
Surface Contamination & Transmission
Ebola can also spread via contaminated surfaces, which is why many victims in Africa have become infected. By riding in taxi cabs or any form of public transportation like airplanes, ambulances, subways, these can all
When an infected patient makes contact with a surface such as a doorknob or ATM keypad, they may leave behind the virus which survives for many minutes or even hours in the openn when another person touches the same surface, they could then become infected by touching their own eyes, nose or mouth (mucus membranes).
In 2010 a study entitled "" was conducted by the BritishHERE). The study found that Ebola can be infectious in an "aerosols state".
Actually Stopping The Virus
Whether or not Ebola is really a serious public threat is debatable by many, however the virus is real. That said, something the public should know is that the virus can be killed in a number of clever and simple ways. The government should be urging the publicnatural defenses against Ebola, but instead we are told to "wash our hands" and wait for the drug companies to create a vaccine.
Start by consuming more antibacterial foods. Ebola is a virus, so lessening the amount of bad bacteria in our bodies will leave more energy for the immune system to fight off other pathogens. If we really want to stop the spread of this viral pandemic right now, the government and the media should be urging citizens to boost their immune system by consuming more nutritious foods, herbal spices, superfoods and anti-virals like the items listed below:
Antiviral Herbs:
- Una de Gato (Cat’s Claw)
Ditch These Foods or Behaviors That Suppress the Immune System:
- Refined Flour, Pasta, Rice intake
The following is a list of things that immediately kill the Ebola virus:
Soap & Bleachin an “Information to Travelers” alert, “Ebola virus is easily killed by soap.” It goes on to advise that travelers should “wash hands regularly, using soap or antiseptics.” Yet again, the problem is that Ebola and other viruses can enter through small skin cracks before an individual washes their hands. Wcient enough to prevent transmission, but is still an effective supplemental practice to add into everyone’s daily habits.
Glutaraldehyde is an extremely pungent, oily liquid and a product containing 1-2% of it can kill the Ebola virus, according to both the PHAC and a fact sheet created by the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, Glutaraldehyde in small amounts is often found in wart removal products.
Simmering & Boiling
medical solutions to the market that might address this pandemic, but there's technology available right now that killsUnder development now is a virus-killing robot called “Little Moe.” It's a Xenex Germ-Zapping Robot invented by a team of Texas doctors based on San Antonio. This R""
Because ultraviolet light destroys"dead." (Viruses aren't really alive in the first place, technically speaking, so the correct term is "nonviable.") Ebola, just like most other viruses, are quickly destroyed by UV light. That's why it spreads well in dark places that sunlight doesn't reach. (It's like a "vampire" virus that feeds off human blood but shuns sunlight...) The robot destroys Ebola on surfaces in just two minutes, zapping them with a specific wavelength of UV light at concentrations that are 25,000 times higher than natural sunlight.
Like all viruses, Ebola is destroyed by sunlight. But it can remain alive for a very long time in environments where sunlight never reaches, like underground subways that are perfect breeding grounds for viral transmission..
Lie #3: Health Authorities Have Everything Under Control
"Don't worry, we have it under control!" Of course they DON'T, the fact is that an infected Ebola victim was able to fly right into the country, then walk around the city of Dallas for 10 days. In truth, Ebola is completely out of control which is precisely why its sudden appearance in a Dallas hospital surprised almost everyone.
The modern-day version of Ebola that's so aggressively circulating today could actually be a bioengineered virus, according to one scientist who wrote what became a front-page story in Liberia's largest newspaper, the Liberian Observer.has declared. He explained:
This patent means that the U.S. government claims all control over Ebola research, making any research project involving replication of the virus a violation of the government's patent. In fact, many people are convinced that this new strain is a "weaponized" variant due to its vastly improved transmission ability. Many feel that the virus either broke through containment protocols. |

en | N/A | N/A | O-East Asian community needs to “lookda”, said SEAPA President Kavi Chongkittavorn at the September 22 conference hosted by SEAPA and the Society for Online News Providers (SONP). The online media in South-East Asia continues to face censorship and legal restrictions limiting freedom of expression.
Despite state promises, laws can still be used to harass journalists and stifle online freedom of expression, said Kuek Ser Kuang Keng from malaysiakini.com. The government has followed a pattern of intimidation and politically motivated persecution of critics of the ruling party. Recent cases against Malaysiakini itself, in which it was charged for posting a citizen’s video on its blog, and ordered to hand over the details of one of its anonymous readers, have raised issues of source protection and intermediary liability. There is a possibility for legal reform in Malaysia, he said, but in order to achieve this the online community needs an ‘effective, independent, united and representative body’ to fight for their right to freedom of expression.
Creating a coalition of online news providne of the main topics discussed. Coverage of regional countries’ issues is important to provide a sense of community, said Chavarong Limpattamapanee, president of the Thai Journalists’ Association. This coverage must have concern for the culture and politics of our neighbours. Treatment of human rights issues is particularly essential to giving a balanced news perspective.
The state of Thai law regarding the online media was also examined, particularly in relation to Freedom House’s press freedom ranking downgrade of the country from 124th to 138th. Paiboon Amornpinyokiat, legal advisor to SONP emphasised that rankings such as these needed to be based on factual reporting, and that the number of cases against journalists had been exaggerated by the foreign press. Journalists operating in Thailand have a certain amount of protection under Provision 329, which acknowledges the people’s right to know the truth, but must still be mindful of defamation and lese majeste laws.
Paolo Ferrer, of GMA News, demonstrated innovative techniques such as a map interface for citizen reporting of election violence in the Philippines. Online media offers new opportunities in the field of content generation. The important thing for news providers is to create a two-way relationship or ‘conversation’ with the consumer. Social media like Twitter and Facebook are an effective method of harnessing the power of citizen reporting and creating new and dynamic online content.
However, in countries like Vietnam no restrictions are placed on copying online content, said Le Thu Luong of VietNamNet.com. Here a new generation of ‘salon journalists’ is being created – journalists who use other news articles as convenient sources, sometimes copying entire stories, rather than doing their own investigative reporting. Online censorship and database hacking is also an important issue for news websites in Vietnam. Thu Luong called for the press law to beprotecting the exclusivity of online content.
“What happens in one country affects all of the countries in the region”, said Kavi Chongkittavorn. Online providers around South-East Asia face many similar challenges and can share common experiences and practical solutions. Creating a regional alliance of online news providers will help to ensure the free flow of information in South-East Asia. |

en | N/A | N/A | These are the opening words from the new biography of Dr. Ernesto Cofiño just published by Scepter Publishers. Written by Thomas A. McDonough, it recounts the life of the well-known Guatemalan pediatrician who worked tirelessly for many years to assist sick and malnourished Mayan children while raising four children of his own with the help of his wife Clemencia.
With Guatemala on the brink of civil war, Ernesto made an urgent trip to the United States on June 8, 1954, to visit his son, Jose Ernesto, who had been hospitalized while“I left the country in troublesome moments. In anguish I left my wife and children behind.
“It was plain on the outside but richly decorated on the inside. I was the only one attending Mass that day. Tears gushed from my eyes and streamed down my face. They blocked my sight. Yet, through them, I contemplated a life-size image of Christ Crucified above the altar. He seemed to want to come down from the cross to which he was nailed in order to offer me his chest and, in it, the wound from the lance, enticing me to take refuge there.

en | N/A | N/A | GAZA – In light of the ongoing tragic events in the Gaza Strip, Caritas Jerusalem has been working with international and community based medicalservices and health care for the poor and the injured.
Caritas Jerusalem has been managing four mobile medical teams and emergency trauma clinics dispersed throughout the Gaza Strip, where they provide medical services and health care to patients who suffer from cancer, gunshot wounds and intestinal parasite infestation.
I and local community based organizations, Caritas Jerusalem treats wounded Palestinians who had been shot by Israeli forces during the protests of the “Grand March of Return” that started on March 31, 2018.
In the north of the Gaza Strip and Gaza City where intestinal infestation is very high, two of the four Caritas mobile medical teams administer deworming treatment and provide fortified biscuits to about 6000 refugee children, whose ages range from three to six years old.
“They cannot get out of Gaza for treatment”
According to the World Health Organization, five cancer patients died in August 2017 while waiting for security permissions to seek treatment outside of Gaza.
“One of the most distressing things I have to deal with is people coming to the clinic asking for help to buy cancer drugs not available in government centers,” Ameen told Sr. Bridget during her visit to Gaza last May.

en | N/A | N/A | The research focus of Marina R. Walther-Antonio, Ph.D., is on the role of the human microbiome in women's health, in particular gynecologic cancers. Her goal is to use microbiome signatures to predict the development of malignancy and eventually intervene before it materializes.
Microbiome role in endometrial cancer. Dr. Walther-Antonio found a particular microbiome signature in patients with endometrial cancer. She is now developing host-microbial tissue culture studies to determine the role of these microbes in the disease.
Single-cell microbial platform. Dr. Walther-Antonio is developing new technology that allows the manipulation and isolation of microbial cells. This allows the study of rare species in complex or low abundance communities, and the study of their impact on the host environment.
The work Dr. Walther-Antonio is developing in endometrial and ovarian cancers may lead to predictive and early detection tests, as well as intervention before cancer develops. Because manipulating the microbiome is less challenging than manipulating our own cells, this is a very promising therapeutic target. |
en | N/A | N/A | This is an invitation for a third panelist for a panel proposal for the 2The Genre in Perspective.” In this panel we set out to explore the notion of the genre and its utility in thinking about various aspects of knowledge-production in South Asia. Rather than approach the notion as a fixed form, we observe the genre as both the creation and the continuing existence of diverse expectations in literary, social, and historical contexts. The genre functions as the sometimes necessary and oftentimes imaginary resolution to specific socio-historical problems. Our aim in this panel is to draw upon the genre as a set of conventions employed to give shape to responses to emerging social contingencies, in order to explore aspects of various cultural processes and products--from colonial urban architecture to the colonial glossary, to name a few --and consequently to demonstrate the value of this notion by thinking about the social in its terms. We invite papers at the broadest level fromexplore this idea.
The deadline for proposal submissions is the 3rd of October. |

Justification The removal of heavy metals with biomass of the microalgae Chlorella sp. Immobilized in alginate beads, it is a valuable tool for the bioremediation of metal-containing wastewater. This immobilization technique has advantages in the management of microorganisms that have the ability to remove metals in aqueous solutions, since their biomass can be reused and easily separated from water. The potential use of Chlorella microalgae to remove metals is very useful due to its great bioremediation capabilities and also to the harmlessness of this microorganism, unlike what can happen with otherbut are pathogenic. as can be the case of Pseudomonas. When analyzingthe microalgae Chlorella sp. immobilized in alginate beads under different parameters, results will be presented that could potentially be used in bioremediation processes in industries or processes that generate this type of contaminants, additionally scientific information will be generated on the effects of these parameters on the metal removal curves by action of Chlorella sp. which will be disclosed by different written and oral means. |

en | N/A | N/A | Some Bill C-311 demonstrators said to be professional activists
By Stephanie Dearing Oct 27, 2009 in Politics
Anywhere from over 100 to 200 protesters disrupted Question Period on Monday afternoon. The noisy group was urging parliament to pass Bill C-311. The Bill was proposed by the New Democratic Party in 2008 and if adopted would see Canada adhering to strict limits to greenhouse gas emissions. Now it is alleged that Jack Layton said he met with the protesters, but had nothing to do with organizing them. One protester, Joe Cressy, has been fingered as the leader of the flash mob as well as belonging to the NDP. While Cressy denied that allegation, the NDP confirmed he is a member. The NDP provided a statement to a reporter that reads: "The protest was not organized or endorsed by the NDP.
Joe Cressy is an environment activist, and as many environment activists, he joined the NDP because it is the best political vehicle to make progress on environmental issues.
This does not preclude the fact that, as environmental activists, they do their own thing with other groups that are not affiliated [by] the NDP."
The NDP has said that it will use it's time in legislature Wednesday to push the government again to adopt Bill C-311. The Bill has been opposed by the Liberal and Conservative parties, but has been supported by the Bloc.
Bill C-311 had almost been adopted in 2008, having had three readings, but Primer Minister Stephen Harper called an election. The bill was re-introduced to parliament in February 2009 and has had two readings.
Joe Cressy is alleged to be affiliated with both Sierra Club and the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition (CYCC). The CYCC put out a statement Tuesday distancing itself from the protest in the House of Commons. CYCC said youth who were in Ottawa attending a conference on climate change called Power Shift had gonefor Question Period Monday.
Joe Cressy has been involved with the group Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP). Cressy is affiliated with the Polaris Institute.
Six of the protesters were banned from Parliament for one year. Two officers and at two protesters incurred minor injuries in Monday's protest. The police removed protesters to a hallway and refused to allow the press entry to that area.

en | N/A | N/A | Business Day|He’s Hoping for a Brown Christmas
By TRACIE ROZHON DEC. 9, 2006
Both since 2002, Michael L. Eskew is known as a plain speaker. Yet Mr. Eskew, 57, is also a cautious speaker, who, when asked to compare his company with the competition — namely FedEx — demurs. “I’m not that kind of guy,” he says.
He is also reluctant to engage in conversation about the price of gasoline, which, after all, must be a constant anxiety to the man who runs the biggest package delivery system in the world: planes and trucks fueled by guess what. Finally, badgered by questions, he says the company is trying hybrid cars and “we’ve done a lot with compressed natural gas.” Oh, and, he says, those brown vehicles you see clogging up the city streets, they are emphatically not trucks.
In a telephone interview this week, Mr. Eskew discussed friction with some of his franchisees, advancing technology and, of course, the Christmas season, when, on the company’s peak day, Dec. 20, he expects to deliver 240 packages a second. Following are excerpts:
Q. So what can you predict about this Christmas?
A. Well, you know each Christmas is a little different, each one has a different personality. This year, we’ll have almost the biggest span of shopping days possible: Thanksgiving fell on the 23rd — the earliest it could fall is the 22nd — and as we move through that last week, we are gearing up for huge volume.
A. It could be; it depends on the weather.
Q. Isn’t your company — along with the other carriers — benefiting enormously from Internet shopping?
A. Yes, it’s so different now, it’s so efficient; just point and click.
Q. And it affects your international business?
A. Oh, yes. This is our 30th year in Europe; for the last eight or nine years, we’ve had double-digit growth in Europe.
Q. How does the rising price of gasoline affect you? Prices have moderated now, but they are still tremendously high compared with those we all grew up with?
A. Our concern is that the cost of gas and energy eats into the pockets of the average consumer.
A. We do our best to minimize those costs; we’ve made our routes more efficient and we’ve put two men on our package cars.
A. Yes, we don’t consider ourselves truckers; we’ve considered ourselves service providers since the days when I was delivering packages.
Q. What is your most recent major change in the company?
A. Within the last year, we’ve made significant refinement in the way packages are tracked. Now, you can go to the same tracking page on the Web, and see any kind of U.P.S. shipment movement. We made an acquisition of a trucking company and that has made it all much more simple.
Q. I read some angry letters from some of the Mail Boxes Etc. franchisees, who didn’t want to change the name of their store. What was that dispute about?
A. Yes. We bought Mail Boxes Etc., and we’ve converted most of those franchises to UPS Stores. There are now over 5,700 UPS Stores and Mail Boxes Etc. stores, where before there were a little over 4,000. We test marketed the two brands — U.P.S. vs. Mail Boxes — and found that the U.P.S. name was much stronger. In the end, some of the Mail Box franchisees decided to end the contract. Part of our takeover included redecorating stores with our brand, which has been great for us.
Q. How do you think U.P.S. stock is doing? Looking at its history, its price has seemed relatively stable, even in erratic times. It closed yesterday at $78.11.
A. We like the way it’s doing. We’ve only been a public company for six or seven years — and we think the stock has room to grow.
Q. Is FedEx your biggest competitor?
A. We trade at a slightly higher price/earnings ratio, but we have a much larger market cap. We’ve been trying to expand the kind of things we do, they’re concentrating more on individual products.
Q. Are there any specifics you want to brag about? Like how U.P.S. has year-over-year revenue growth of 15.8 percent, compared with an industry average of 4.2 percent?
A. I don’t do that. The best part of the business is the people in the brown suits: they’re better than anHoping For a Browe |

By ERIC A. TAUB MAY 31, 2004
Sony Electronics hopes that the digital projector it will demonstrate at the Digital Cinema Laboratory in Hollywood this week will become the new industry standard as movie theaters gradually shift from film to digital projection.
The company says its new projector can create images with four times the resolution of the current digital.
Motion picture industry analysts have long predicted a shift to digital projection because using a hard disk, rather than a film projector, to serve up a movie produces a superior image.
Sony's 4k projector creates an image that is 4,096 pixels across and 2,160 high, and has four times the number of pixels delivered by Texas Instruments' 2k DLP Cinema projection chip, which projects an image 2,048 pixels across by 1,080.
If the difference between standard film and a digitally projected print were ''as great as the difference between a VHS tape and DVD, we'd have much more consumer interest in this technology,'' saidr's technology committee.
Only 67 movie theaters in North America use digital projectors, all with the Texas Instruments imaging chip.
Eastman Kodak, another rival, is developing its own 4k digital projector, which it expects to bring to market next year or in 2006. Texas Instruments, however,on, said Doug Darrow of the company's cinema products division.
Mr. Darrow also said that the most advanced Texas Instruments projector, which has 2k resolution, ''a.''
Digital Cinema Initiatives, an industry group financed by seven motion picture studios, is evaluating technical issues and the best way to pay for the shift to digital projection. While projector prices will eventually come down, movie theaters initially may have to spend $150,000 per projector, five times the cost of conventional film projectors, which last up to 30 years.
said his organization recognized that studios need to help pay for the purchase of digital projection equipment. ''The proportion of financingnjoyed by each party,'' he said.
One proposal is for studios to contribute to a fund, in proportion to the money they save by not making prints. Those funds would then be distributed to theater owners to buy the new projector many questions remained to be answered, like who will get the money, when the money will be collected and the tax implications of the fund. Meanwhile, any delay in the transition to digital may be good for Sony, which stands to benefit if theater owners wait for another version of the technology. |
en | N/A | N/A | As I was driving my motorbike home from aerobics one night, I had to stop abruptly for something in the middle of the road. As I stopped, I realized it was a bleeding dog. At the same time that I stopped, a crying woman was crossing the street. She picked up the dead or dying dog (only about 2 feet in front of me) and carried it into the house just on the left of the street. (Houses in Thailand are very close to the street.) I heard both her and another woman wailing. I don’t know if she hit the dog, or if she saw it happen, or what. I don’t know either of those women, but I pass by this place every day. What should I do? I was filled with indecision. Both women saw me. In the end, I decided to go home, where the scene was imprinted on my mind.
A day later, I was listening to a sermon, when God convicted me. Job 2:8-13.
Job’s friends get a bad rap, and rightly so. But there are a few things that they did right! What?! Susan, are you serious?! They did everything wrong and in the end were rebuked and Job had to pray for them. Yes, that is true, but there are still a few things they did right.
The first thing they did right: THEY CAME. They visited Job. They didn’t just come for a few minutes or a few hours, but for days and weeks. How often do we visit someone in distress, whether it’s physical or emotional, say a few platitudes, pray for them, commit to pray for them (and rarely ever do), end of story? For me, it’s much more often than I would like to admit. We think we HAVE to do something for them. But all we really need to do, is just be there, let them know that we are hurting with them. Let them know we care. Let them see God’s love in us by just being available. But that doesn’t always fit into our neat and ordered lives, does it?
The second thing that Job’s friends did right was they sat in silence. For how long? 7 days. Wow, that’s a long time! We have a hard time handling even 5 minutes of silence. They were willing to sit in silence and they listened. This, I think is one of the hardest things to do. To listen, to REALLY listen rather than trying to formulate a response in our heads while the other person is speaking. When we spend time listening, we earn the right to speak Christ into a hurting life.
Going back to the above story: Why didn’t I stop that evening? There are two reasons: The first is that it wasn’t on my agenda. I had planned to get home, take a shower and spend time doing coursework for my online classes. Stopping to comfort and help two hurting women wasn’t part of that plan. The second reason is that I thought I had to DO something, and I didn’t know what to do. Now I realize that I didn’t really have to DO anything, just be there. What kind of open doors for sharing the gospel in the future have I now missed because I didn’t stop? The interesting thing is that God used something that would get my attention. He used a dog, something that I can empathize with and a hurt that I understand.
Finally, I would like to encourage us all to just be present. What does that mean? That means to be present in the moment, to be willing to forgo our own agenda for God’s agenda. There are hurting people all around us. Will we let God use us?
Just a little encouragement from my time in Israel. Enjoy!!

"He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun." Psalm 37:6
You don't have to be big and powerful to do great things for the Lord. Just "be". As the Jordan River here is not big, it just does what it does. That's all we need to do - just be and do who and what God created us to.
"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." Isaiah 1:18
Even when we feel dry spiritually, we can still lift your hands and voice in praise to God!
"I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water." Psalm 63:1
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. This is indeed a prayer that God will honor.
It's ok to be different. The yellow flower is different and stands out. So should our lives as believers stand out among everything else.

Mai pen rai. Roughly translated it means "never mind". Mai pen rai is the Thai answer to pretty much everything. It's used for "you're welcome", "it's ok", etc. In a culture that values "jai yen", or cool heart, i.e. laid back and relaxed, this phrase is heard quite often. I've heard many a Christian testimony along these lines: Before I knew Christ I was "jai ron" (hot heart, i.e. frustrated/upset/angry) quite often, but now that I know Jesus, I am jai yen. Upon sharing a personal struggle with a Thai friend, it can be disconcerting to hear "mai pen rai". End of story, next subject. But, I must say that other than "Praise God" mai pen rai is now probably the one Thai phrase that comes out of my mouth the most.
This week as I was reflecting on my time in Thailand, especially this last year, I can see God working in my life in many ways that I never realized before. There are many everyday things that I used to freak out about and many long standing hurts that I can honestly say from my heart....mai pen rai. I can say this because God has healed my heart, because I'm learning to struggle less in and of myself and more in my prayer life. The battle we fight is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers and authorities of this dark world. I believe one reason why we're not seeing victory over personal sins and past hurts is because we're not spending TIME with God. We think that if we come to Him a few times for a few minutes, He must do what we ask. But we don't KEEP ON crying and praying and seeking and knocking and asking. I shared in a recent prayer letter about a situation in which I literally spent 3 days crying before the Lord. And God changed my heart, not the circumstances. After those 3 days, I could honestly say mai pen rai. Why? Because it honestly wasn't an issue for me anymore. God had changed my heart. I was just chatting on FB with a former student who used to live at the boys house in Chiang Khong. He told me to drive carefully and not to cry. It used to be an on-going joke because one time I was trying to back the truck up in a narrow alley that was only slightly wider than the truck. I was scared and started to cry. The students thought that was hysterical. As I was typing "HAHAHAHA" I realized that getting into tight spots while driving in Thailand no longer freaks me out like it used to. I can say "mai pen rai". God is with us. He's still in control. We give lip service to that, but do we really mean it? We tend to live our lives like we ourselves are in control. When things don't go according to OUR plan, OUR schedule, OUR wants/desires, we get frustrated with God. When others don't do what they're supposed to, when others hurt us, we keep it inside or we turn to anything and everything except God. You see, praying is not necessarily to make God do something, but it changes us, from the core of our being to be more like Jesus. And that glorifies God.

Trust in God. It’s amazing how trusting in God can be so simple and yet so profound at the same time. God tells us to trust Him. We know that He is trustworthy. We desperately want to trust Him. We know we should trust Him, we need to trust Him. But how much do we REALLY trust Him? “Some trust in chariots and some trust in horses, but we trust in the Name of the Lord our God.” Psalm 20:7
I thought I did trust God. I thought I was ok. My goodness gracious, I’m a missionary. I was serving God. I was doing all the right things, wasn’t I? Then why did I feel so hopeless, so helpless, so distraught? Why did I want to just crawl in a hole and stay there? Why did even the thought of talking to people, spending time with others make me cringe inside? Why was I tired all of the time? Where was the zest for life, the desire to see people come to know the Lord? Where was the desire to press into Jesus? Why did God seem so distant?
I first realized that I felt like this in December 2013, although I had been feeling like that for quite some time prior to that. I just continued plodding on. What else was I going to do? Leave the girls that I loved? Leave the ministry that I had been serving at for the past 10 years? Go back to the States and do what exactly? A dear friend suggested that I go back to the USA on furlough. So, I went.
On the way back to the States, I stayed at the Juniper Tree in Dolphin Bay, a resort specifically for missionaries for 10 days. For the first time in I don’t know how long, I spent all day just seeking God and enjoying Him in His creation. For the first time in I don’t know how long, I started to relax and find my way back to God. Or maybe I have that backwards. God drew me back to Himself.
Over the next 5 months in the USA, God started to minister to my heart. He gave me a new perspective on things. He began to challenge me in a way that I hadn’t allowed Him to do in my life for a long time. He began to show me that He had a plan to do something new in my life. God showed me very clearly that I was not to go back and work in the same ministry I had been working at for the past 10 years. He had something new for me. But God didn’t tell me where specifically He was leading me. God wanted to know if I would obey Him whether or not I knew the next step. I can honestly say that was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve had to make in my entire life. I loved that ministry. I loved the girls, the people. I loved the city I lived in. I loved my house and my comfortable life. And then it hit me. It was TOO comfortable. I wasn’t relying on God. I was relying on myself. It was too easy. I didn’t need God. I could do it all on my own.
Would I trust God and take the leap of faith to leave my comfort zone? Even up until the day I arrived back in Thailand I was still going back and forth in my head – stay or go? Even though I had been telling people I was leaving, I confess there was a part of me that really wanted to stay. But I knew I couldn’t stay and be in God’s will at the same time. I took the leap of faith.
I arrived back in Thailand on September 9th, and it wasn’t until the first week of November that I knew the next step. It’s amazing how one day I would be overflowing with praise to God and would be sure of His leading. The next day I would be filled with fear - fear of the unknown, fear of the “what if’s”. Why couldn’t I just trust God everyday all day? “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” Prov. 3:5-6
You might think that as soon as I had the confirmation from God that Destiny Rescue was the next step, that it was smooth sailing. It was and it wasn’t.
I say this quite literally: God worked every detail out.
God provided the paperwork and the money for a new 90 day visa. I had the paperwork for the visa in one day. I left for Laos the following day. Two days later I had the visa and came back to Thailand – no problems whatsoever. Then I had to find a house. I found one within 5 days. There were two other houses I wanted to rent, but I was told to wait by Destiny staff. Not something I really wanted to hear, but I said ok, Lord, I’ll wait. Literally, within minutes of me telling both God and Destiny staff that I would wait, we got a call about a house, and this house was THE PERFECT house, and my landlord is a believer. Then I had to move all of my stuff to the new city I’m living in, an almost 2 hour drive. God provided a dear friend’s family to come help who brought some awesome Khmu people (Khmu people are a tribal group living in northern Thailand). We had a total of 4 trucks and they are amazing packers. They amazingly got all of my stuff on the back of all 4 pickup trucks. (I so wish I had pictures of this incredible feat, but at the time I couldn’t remember where I had packed my camera. One truck with a high backed camper shell had 4 bookcases on their sides with a mattress on top and a desk on the tailgate.) We made it safely to Chiang Rai in one trip.
At every step in this process, I freaked out. Not visibly for anyone to see. At night, when I was trying to sleep, I’d talk to God. Sometimes I wouldn’t talk to God – I’d just talk to myself. (No, I didn’t answer myself, so we’re ok on that one!) I’d think “what if”. I was scared they wouldn’t approve my visa. I was frustrated at having to spend money on a trip to Laos for the visa because I didn’t realize ahead of time that I’d have to leave the country. I was terrified I’d spend 4-5 days going back and forth between Chiang Khong and Chiang Rai to move all of my stuff. I was afraid no one would help me move. I just wanted a house, any house would do. I didn’t want to wait. I was frustrated that I didn’t have a house the first day of looking. “I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation.” Isaiah 12:2b
When God would work out a certain detail, I’d praise God and then I’d start worrying about the next detail. God worked that detail out, and then I’d worry about the next detail. I’d say God, if you’d only do such and such, everything will be ok and I won’t worry anymore. God would do such and such, and I’d praise Him. Then I’d worry again.
So, as we move into 2015, the big issue that’s on my heart is TRUST. I look at my life from the perspective of where I was at spiritually and emotionally a year ago, and there is no comparison. I look back and ask myself why didn’t I trust God? He’s so obviously been working and leading me every step of the way. I can truly say from the bottom of my heart: God is trustworthy. He and He alone holds the future in His hands. He is my Rock and my Fortress. I WILL NOT, NO NOT be moved. It’s a conscious decision to trust God. It’s not a feeling. As I look back, I realize that I’ve relied on my feelings more than the truth of God’s Word. I want to challenge all of us, including myself, to make a conscious decision to trust God. Trust God when what you see with your eyes tells you something different. Trust God when you can’t see the outcome. Trust God when it’s not convenient. Trust God when others tell you not to. Trust God when your flesh tells you not to. Trust God when you don’t understand. Trust God and He will bring you through the eye of the storm.

A DAY OF SOLITUDE
What comes to your mind when you think of the word solitude? Have you ever taken an entire 24 hours as a day of rest and solitude to seek God? What do you believe the benefits would be?
As part of the leadership matters course that I just finished we spent one 24 hour period of time in solitude. We didn't talk to anyone. We had the freedom (without guilt) to sleep in or take a nap, jump in the swimming pool, go for a walk, etc. The purpose was to seek God in a special way and to well, just rest. How important it is in our very busy lives to take time out to rest and seek God! I want to encourage all of you to do this as well. I'm committed to doing it once a month. I don't want to be at the place of burnout like I was the beginning of this year. That is not from God. Jesus calls us to take up His burden because His burden is light and easy and He promises that we WILL find rest for our souls.
This water is very stagnant. Our lives can become stagnant when we're not seeking God (although we may still be having our daily devotions) and resting in Him
These leaves are a clear picture of what it looks like to be connected to the vine. They are vibrant and alive. We need to examine our inner man on a regular basis and ask ourselves if we are living and vibrant and connected to the vine. Jesus said "Abide in me and I will abide in you. Apart from me you can do nothing."
This is a picture of something that is still alive, but starting to decay. It's not getting enough nourishment from the vine. I've noticed in my own life that when I start to be like this leaf spiritually, I don't even realize until I'm much browner than this leaf.
Notice how the branches hanging down from the tree are brown and appear not to have a lot of life even though the tree is still alive? When we isolate ourselves from others like this rock is isolated from the rest of it's environment, we start wasting away little by little.
This second picture is a close up of the tree in the first picture. How many blessings do we miss out on because we're not really looking or watching or waiting expectantly on God for those blessings. We're so busy going about our daily routine that we miss these wonderful things that God has for us along the way.
We are to be a clear reflection of God's glory.

How to sum up 5 months in the USA? That is the question before me. In the 12 years I’ve been in Thailand, this is the longest I’ve been back in the States. Before coming back to the USA, I prayed for a car and for money to sightsee around AZ, and to see many things that I haven’t seen in a very long time. In the end, I didn’t sightsee around AZ, but God took me to CA and to CO and I saw things I have never seen before. God far surpassed my expectations!!
New and wonderful cultures, (if I may be so bold as to use the word culture) I’ve been introduced to:
God’s creation that I’d never before seen:
Things I can now cross off my bucket list:
Milked a goat; got licked by a cow; fed squirrels from my hand;
Rode the tram at Palm Springs, Sky Harbor Airport and the Phoenix Metro Tram
After many of years of living with teenage girls in Thailand, I find myself relating more than I ever dreamed of with friends who have children of their own. Who would’ve thought??
I got to share about Thailand with a Teen challenge group.
I’ve shared about Thailand with twice as many groups as I ever have before, and God is working, even when we can’t see it.
I saw “God is not dead” and I now have a crush on Michael Tait of the Newsboys.
I’ve stayed at 13 different homes throughout these 5 months and each family I have stayed with has enriched my life in some way. I’ve taken something away from each place I’ve stayed.
A time of personal reflection is a good and profitable thing.
My collection of postcards is increasing by the day. I’m so happy!
Finally, after 2 days of tears, I learned how to use an I-pad.
I have regained a sense of adventure and zest for life. I’m excited about leaving my comfort zone, believe it or not. I’ve learned more about HOW to rest in God. I’ve learned that I can be busy and still be at peace in my heart. My circumstances don’t need to control my emotions. I CAN have victory over my emotions and my sin when I remember who God is and who I am in Christ. Christ has already won the victory on the cross. The same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at the right hand of God in the heavenly realms is available to me as His child. I am adopted into His family and am co-heir with Christ. But too often I forget that and dwell in my own little disgusting world, allowing free reign to my fleshly thoughts. The apostle Paul said that we are to take captive every thought to the obedience of Christ and to let our thoughts dwell on things above. All of those little irritations and frustrations of everyday life are minor in comparison to the glory that awaits us. Oh God, let us truly be able to say from our hearts “It is well with my soul.”
Let us wallpaper the walls of our minds with Scripture!!

It's been an amazing 2.5 months since being back in the States. God's love and grace that He consistently pours out on us is overwhelming. This is my first trip back "home" (our real home is in heaven and we are only strangers and sojourners here) in 4 years and the first time in the 12 years that I've been in Thailand that I've been back longer than 3 months. I will be here for a total of 5 months, and I've been here for a 2.5 months already. I pray that everyone who reads this will be blessed and encouraged to continue on in faith in our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ. I personally have nothing to say, but I pray that God will take the few things that I do say to encourage each and every one of us. God has allowed me to rest, relax and spend time with friends.
Fellowship with many of you has been one of the highlights of this trip. Getting to see where everyone is at and praying with you and for each other is a blessing. The church is believers, not just a building, and it's been great to just be with the church and have fellowship, food and fun. (I've already gained I don't know how much weight! My clothes are not fitting anymore, and I know that when I go back to Thailand, they're all going to say "Susan, you're really fat!") But the food has been out of this world!
I've spent 2 months in AZ and 2 weeks in North Carolina. One of my goals while I'm here is to do things I've never done before. We have a tendency to get in that rut of "same ol' same ol'" and forget that there is excitement and adventure out there if we only look for it. Never be afraid or to busy to do something new. I believe that God meant us to walk with Him on a daily basis and EXPECT Him to do new, great and wonderful things in our lives. Our problem is that we aren't looking and we get sidetracked by many different things. Here are a few of the NEW things that's happened to me and that I've done since being back:
Seeing alpacas up close and personal
riding both the Sky Harbor tram and the Phoenix metro tram (downtown Phoenix is an AMAZING place!
Painting a house, or at least part of one!
Experiencing the Billy Graham center (library)
I was struck by how God can take an ordinary person who is humble and sold out for Jesus Christ and use him/her for God's glory in a great way. God wants to use each of one of us right where we're at. Are we willing to seek God's plan and His glory rather than our own??
For the first time since I was 12 years old, 2 of my brothers and my sister and I were in the same place at the same time. Anyone who doesn't believe that God still works today, this is proof my friends. Also, (unfortunately, no picture as of yet) my other brother (who is not pictured above) have renewed our relationship after 23 years of no contact whatsoever! God does indeed work miracles!
As this tree provides a sort of covering for whoever, whatever is underneath it, so God provides a covering for us, shelters us from the storms of life. But we can always decide on our own to walk away from the covering/protection that God provides. We do that when we willfully sin, disobey God and seek our own path. God's covering/protection is for our own good. Under His shelter, we find safety, love and grace.
It's ok to be a little weird and different!!
The live tree is next to the dead tree. The live tree is a picture of us clinging to Christ during the dry times while the dead tree is a picture of us apart from the Living Water.
One of the things I have struggled with since being in Thailand, is that I always feel like I'm in a fishbowl. Everyone watches everything I do and they see the good and bad. I can't just be anonymous. As I was admiring all of the beautifully colored and shaped fish in this aquarium, God spoke to me. He told me that I'm to shine forth His glory to those around me so others can see God's light in me and admire Him just as I was admiring the fish. An incredible sense of peace enveloped me as I sensed God's nearness and His presence with me. He's right there with us through the calm and the storms.
God reaches down to us (upper picture) and we reach up to Him - the picture of a personal relationship with Christ.
The power of God is an incredible thing to behold! God's power is the mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly places. That is the same power that is available to us who believe Him! Eph. 1
I love this sign! You have to keep your sense of humor!!!!!!!!!
A big thank you to each of the churches that I've shared at or just visited! I have been truly blessed to be part of the fellowship and to worship with you! A big thank you to my coffee and 24 buddies. You know who you are! A big thank you to everyone who has opened their house to me! Your hospitality is beyond description. Thank you to 2 very special people who have sacrificed much of themselves and leant me their car to use for 2 of the 2 and a half months that I've been here. A BIG thank you to everyone for the great food.

I am a native Arizonian. I got saved when I was 18. I always thought I would go to heaven because I was a good person. One day, a friend invited me to church. I was amazed when everyone opened their Bibles together. A few weeks later I was encouraged by a song that spoke of a God who is real and who listens and cares. I said, "God, if you are really there, do something, anything." Immediately I was filled with a sense of peace and knew that God was in that room with me and that He loved me. I began to understand there is absolutely NOTHING I can do to earn my way to heaven. I observed that if an American wanted to hear about Christ, he/she could. I saw there are many places around the world where there is NO opportunity for people to hear about God, and He began to break my heart for these people. I have been living in Thailand as a missionary for 7 years. I have been in Chiang Khong working with Hmong people for 5 years. I have a hostel for Hmong teenage girls, a place where they can come and learn about Jesus while getting an education. Some are orphans, some have family problems and others come from very poor families who can't afford to send them to school. |

en | N/A | N/A | Did you realize that your Controller has a headphones socket ? But the sounds comes through the speaker though you plugged in Headphones ?
So I decided to write a small applet, which would make me able to switch headphones manually via a menu:
this applet is tested and working with a 7.3 to 7.5 firmware
You then have to go back to the menu to switch again.
BEWARE: going to bed with headphones turned on and your wife sleeping beside you maybe isn't a good idea as long as you didn't test for sideeffects. I don't know if and under what circumstances the controller decides to switch back to speakers
By the way: If you face the issue, that headphones aren't switching automatically, before you use this applet, PLEASE take the time, create a bugzilla account and vote for the bug !
I think it also makes sense to leave a comment there.
open WebUI of SqueezeboxServer, there open settings.
go to the 'Advanced'-Tab, select 'Extension Downloader'
under 'Additional Repositories' add 'http://www.stagessound.de/bluegaspode.xml' and apply. It looks as if nothing changed, but the fun part now is at the controller
take your controller, select 'Settings->Advanced->Applet Installer', there you will find the 'Headphone Switcher'.
select it and start the install, your controller will restart and you will find the applet under 'extras'-menu
Again on SqueezeboxServer go the the settings, this time to the tab 'Plugins'. At the lower end you will find 'Additional repositories' where you can add the URL from above.
On the Controller the menu-structure for installing applets changed a bit as well. Again go to 'Settings->Advanced->Applet Installer', select the Headphone-Switcher and then select the option 'Install'.
No go one menu up where you will find a button 'Install/Remove 1/0', if you press it, all selected applets will be downloaded and installed. Your Controller then restarts.
On the 7.4 firmware the 'Extras' menu doesn't show by default. You have to activate it under 'Settings->Home Menu'.
Tips for better playback
If you are not satisfied with the playback of your controller (pops, crackles) the following tips might help:
Try to turn of the 'Now Playing' Screensafer while playing music (you can configure this under the screensafers setting). This screen draws some computational power which should be better used for playback
Try to use low-bitrate mp3 first (192kB/s). You might also try to have your server automatically transcode the music on the fly to lower bitrates (if it sends streams to the Controller only of course). Go to the Settings-Screen on the Web-UI, choose the Controller and than audio -> there you'll find appropriate settings.
30.08.2009: added instructions for running under 7.4
31.08.2009: full feature set under 7.4 (>r7335), automatic detection of 7.3/7.4 firmware
30.09.2009: updated 7.4 install instructions
01.10.2009: fixed unaligned popup-texts on 7.4

Great work on the applet!
The "automatic" headphone switching worked for me once or twice, but usually didn't. I voted for the bug quite some time ago. At one point I modified the settings to force the output to the headphone, but I like having the audio feedback on the speaker, so I reversed the change. Your applet is a nice solution. Hopefully you can figure out how to get it to work under V7.4 by the time I'm ready to switch version!
PS- I'm listening to some Stevie Ray Vaughan on headphones through my controller as I write this!
Yes, this is a great little applet.
I took the liberty of adding localisation so it would speak danish to me.
EDIT: And now I just realised that the english I have added is different that yours. Sorry I will change it back

The current version is uploaded to the wiki.
Does this Applet make the headphonejack active, also when playing from SB???
Because then it would solve my problem, with listening to Internet radio through Squeezenetwork. That function is not available anymore, when I am using The Controller as a player.

The applet should route all audio-output to the headphone jack.
I just fixed all issues under 7.4 FW. Now all popups turn up in the new UI-style and I really like it
7.3 style of course unaffected, applet automatically detects firmware version.
Also this night a 7.4 firmware-bug was solved (hey this was fast!), so the applet will run out of the box now - no more extra tweaking needed.
Latest version uploaded to the wiki as always.
I installed this yesterday (7.3.4) It works brilliantly. My only grief is the tedious manual installation.
Thank you, Logitech erhm... I mean bluegaspode for making my controller work as a player as well.
Is this applet an embarrassment to Logitech? Yes, they are busy rolling out new devices and probably under a huge economical pressure making resources sparse. But still... |

To me, having social influence means being a credible and trusted industry expert. Social media is designed as a share and engage the community. If you are going to sell, you need to establish yourself as the expert and you need to provide more than just a product or a service. Focus on building real relationships, provide engaging content that will be beneficial to the user, and ultimately gain trust.

Each time we make a choice, we pay With courage to behold the restless day, And count it fair.

Scam Victims. In some cases, the celebrities themselves were scammed; in others, their fans were targeted by unscrupulous individuals. But regardless of who was victimized, the result was the same: the celebrity's reputation was damaged, and their fans were left feeling betrayed. The most famous recent example of a celebrity Scam Victim is a pop star, Justin Bieber. Bieber was the target of an online death hoax in early 2013, and later that year, he fell victim to a phone-hacking scandal. But he's not the only one; other celebrities who have been Scam Victims include Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and even President Barack Obama. With fame comes scrutiny, and unfortunately for these celebrities, that also means that they are prime targets for scammers.

By: A.J. Rusli

"Ei Emotional Intelligence Complexity Theory"
The topic of Emotional Intelligence (EI) has never failed to attract attention, and this is based on the popular assumption that emotion is the antithesis of intelligence. In each one’s life, there has surely been at least one occasion where one has been told to ‘not be emotional’, and to ‘use your head instead of your heart’. Under this assumption, to use emotions means to be ‘soft’ and to be lacking in logic and reason, and that the term ‘intelligence’ is only applied to the cognitive process. Some definitions of intelligence may even include job skills and vocational skills (defined in the paragraphs below as ‘domains’), thereby adding further confusion.
As time goes by however, the rapid growth in the literature and research on EI by various writers and psychologists/scientists from the 1990s onwards have provided some compelling arguments to indicate that emotions and intelligence are not at opposite ends, but are complementary to each other. In terms of brain structure, the neo-cortex (responsible for the logical or cognitive process) sits on top of the limbic area. The proverbial ‘heart’ in romantic literature is not located in the physical/biological heart but rather, in the limbic area of the brain. Both parts of the brain work more closely together than one may assume, and if not for the inter-working between the neo-cortex and the limbic area of the brain that provides a nurturing response, mammals would also most likely devour their young instead of protecting them (Goleman, 1997).
Regarding a clear definition of the term ‘intelligence’, Gardner (2006) has provid terms ‘domain’ and ‘intelligence’. He stated that the confusion in defining intelligence was due to the fact that most people thought that ‘intelligence’ and ‘domain’ are inter-changeable (whereas they are not), and this causes an activity or area under a domain to be incorrectly categorized as an intelligence. Gardner (2006) explained that a domain is ‘any organized activi. Any occupation, art, craft, or sport is a domain’ (p. 65).
Therefore, the term ‘intelligence’ refers to the human computational capacity and the ability to utilize this facility to solve problems and apply them in the environment in which the individual is residing. However, computation doesn’t only apply to numbers but also to other types of information requiring selection and discrimination such as music, words, self-awareness, and social relations. Gardner (2006) further stated that intelligence is a bio-psychological construct, while a domain is sociological in nature.
As a whole, a good basic definition of EI is ‘the expansion of the conventional view of intelligence and IQ to include social and emotional aspects’ (Coleman, 2006). This means that the term ‘intelligence’ does not apply solely to the human cognitive process, but it also involves the emotional aspects of the mind that can be used to assist and clarify the thinking process. Emotions can be used to ‘facilitate cognitive activities pursuits’ (Grewal and Salovey, 2006, p. 107), and therefore can be used to enhance, rather than to disrupt one’s thinking process.
EI has also become a popular topic due to the attention and coverage given to this subject by various psychologists, writers, and institutions. However, EI is not a new area of study as it was researched back in the 1920s by E.L. Thorndike under the term ‘social intelligence’ (Goleman, 1997, p. 42) although at that time, social intelligence was thought to reside under the area of human communication and is not regarded as an intelligence in its own right.
Within the context of today’s organizations, EI is crucial as it needs to be taught, implemented and practiced by all the members of the organization. It all starts from the fundamentals, and since an institution is nothing without its people, this means that EI starts with the core of the organization; its staff and the administration/management team.
I believe that EI is a crucial component in leading people in organizations based on the increasingly complex and uncertain nature of life today. If there are too many external forces pulling at the fabric of the system itself and its boundaries, theoretically the system will have to be flexible enough to withstand the pressure from the changing demands, otherwise it will be torn apart into chaos. EI will be able to provide this resilience.
I am also fascinated by the fact that as the world advanchat we need to go back to the basics regarding human beings and their interactions. These interactions create relationships that form dynamic human networks and interconnections, and these networks hold the real competitive advantage to a better future. It is not to say that other factors such as material wealth and technology are not important, but the cultural network and interconnections that use the technology and wealth as the ways and means to achieve certain goals are the ones that are holding the real value for the future.

Step 3: Identify target Restaurants
Does an asset sale mean the business is failing? In many cases, yes -- today. If you’re going to buy a restaurant with no money down, you need to be ready to take on the risk to “flip the restaurant” and take it to the next level. How do you decide if it’s the right one? Investigate the business. Visit as a customer. Check out the surrounding area. Pull the demographics on the trade area and figure out if the market is good and the concept is bad. You can change the concept. You can’t change the location.
Identify where the seller has missed the mark by reviewing his financial picture, checking out his marketing (or lack thereof) or understanding the quality of the assets. Fit your business plan to this situation and see if your ideas have traction in this location.
Final Step: Negotiate a deal with no money down.
Once you have identified your target, approach the seller or the broker with a proposal for acquiring the business with no money down. Demonstrate that by taking over today, you will remove the current seller’s liability for the lease or franchise. – A seller who is currently not making money is often willing to walk away provided you address his obligations. That includes the personal guarantee on the lease or the franchise agreement. Sometimes he has equipment that has a remaining note. See if you can take over his payments. The point of the negotiation is to remove the pressure of staffing and running the business today. He needs to see you as his solution in order to sell you the restaurant with no money down.

The risk in any field has a different meaning, for example, “risk” in economic fields refers to both benefit and loss [6, 8]. The term “risk” in technological fields is defined as a deadly threat , so that in the industrial countries if the risks of various chemical plants left unmanaged, besides deadly pollutions to the water resources and the environment, the economic losses will be enormous . This issue has made risk assessment and appraisal one of the important aspects of the industrial management, because incidents due to safety breaches, especially in Industrial technologies (for example, in the oil and gas industries) left catastrophic effects on human and environment [5, 12].
This term in some areas, such as traffic accidents is used as a risk factor (risk factors such as age and gender) affecting the occurrence of adverse event (the crash) that usually has drawn little attention . McNeil believes that the word “risk” means uncertainty, because the occurrence of major crises such as hurricanes, global economic crisis, earthquakes, floods and multiple fires, are partly associated with conditions of uncertainty, in a way that humans cannot fully predict the time of their occurrences . The important challenge in the field of health is the different perception of this term in the industrial sciences and health fields in the events and disasters. Sometimes words like danger and hazards are used differently [6, 7]. Therefore, risk definition seems simple and understandable, but in reality it has its own complexity. Although accepting danger is due to the nature of the job and social responsibilities, such as fire extinguisher, police, rescue teams; outweighing benefits over losses, or seemingly slight danger, but one of the most important reasons of accepting danger and risk is the lack of sufficient awareness [8, 9].
Hyogo framework for action (2005) has introduced knowledge and education one of the five components needed to reduce the dangers of disasters and consolidate the resilience of societies . Education andcommunities is so important that it has been considered one of the domains of Sendai framework . However, the level of danger knowledge (level of awareness) depends to a large extent toas well as people’s different perceptions of the danger. Danger perception is the important and decisive component of people’s behaviors in time of dangers. Public awareness of disasters and disasters knowledge has direct influence on people’s attitudes and behaviors Russian vodka producers distilled 9.61 million decaliters in June.
Brandy production soared 80 percent over the same period, the RBC report said, while Russian winemakers also corked more bottles, producing 6.83 million decaliters of wine, doubling the output figure of June 2011.
June usually sees low output for Russian liquor producers, while November and December are the peak months, according to RBC Daily.

en | N/A | N/A | A Swedish company by the name of Soundracer has developed an innovative new engine sound simulator that is more than capable of making your second-hand sedan sound like a veritable automotive monster fitted with an aggressive V10 engine.
While Soundracer has developed engine sound simulator products before, what makes the new Electric Vehicle Electronic Engine Sound System (EVEESS) unique is the fact that it has the ability to be mated to your electric vehicle, as its name suggests. Oney're often so silent that they can catch pedestrians of guard. The EVEESS engine sound simulator therefore solves two problems, as it doesn't just ealso gives motorists the thrill of producing an engine snarl that will capture pedestrians' attentions for all the right reasons.

It feels so impersonal and not tailored. There’s no consideration of so many of the factors that impact a business’ marketing or the wider business goals, including the internal skills you have and time you can commit to marketing.
Instead of blindly trying to spend a predetermined percentage of turnover, and trying to figure out what tactics to spend it all on, you should be working from the other end and reverse engineering a budget from the tactics you think will best help you achieve your goals.
In this episode, we take a look at how you can easily do that and then have confidence that the budget will support the best tactics you’ve chosen to achieve your goals. |

Welp.....we all know how hard prom is.......
At a fund raiser we do for home games, we run a stand (my class) and we use this money to pay for the decorations and everything. So we were having a down time and we were sitting in a little group talking about who we were taking to prom, so it slowly works around to me (only without a date) and turns out I don't have a date. So first thing said, "Oh dude I know this girl from Tarkio (Different town) and she's really nice...." All I could say was...."No!
About that time this girl walks in the stand and says "Wait, who's going with who to where?", I simply responded, "I need someone to go to prom with me, and it's making me nervous......" First thing this girl says, "Oh hey I've been having the same problem, wanna go with me?" and Ray responds with "I guess so, but I don't even know you....

Canopy Adventures, a company with over 10 years’ experience in Costa Rica, has installed a circuit of 11 different zip lines spanning the valleys and hills above Mindo. Securely harnessed to the cable, you literally zip along, at a height varying from three to 120 meters (9.8-394 ft), just above the treetops, from one platform to the next. For an extra rush, try doing the headfirst “Superman” or the upside-down “mariposa" while harnessed to a guide. The total length of the circuit is 3,500 meters (11,483 ft) and takes between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on the crowds. The ride is open to kids from age 5 and up.
Follow the road to the cascadas for 2.5km, entry is indicated by a large yellow sign.

Biggs and wife Jenny Mollen celebrated a "barkmitzvah" for their poodle, Teets, who turned 13 on Thursday.
"Guess who is 13 today!!!!??? #teets #mazeltov #Barkmitzvah," wrote Mollen to caption an Instagram shot of her and her pooch wearing matching blue outfits, the pup's decorated with the Star of David.
Teets does perk up in a snapshot in front of the temple (perhaps since he's outside?) and appears active at the after-party, which was complete with challah for the dogs.
Mollen concluded her Instagram party with a bang: Teets photoshopped into a few tourist destinations around the U.S., with the caption, "Theme: 'Around the World with Teets.' "
That prompted a hilarious repartee of what to name their son. Biggs suggested Cy or Sebastian, both of which Mollen shot down. Then she mused, "What's he gonna look like? Me?"
"Or me?" Biggs answered, to which she responded, "But we're hoping me, right?" |

en | N/A | N/A | Weeks after the midterm elections delivered a putative referendum on the former president and his future, barely anything has changed.
Soul-searching, backbiting, recriminations, denunciations: This is the usual stuff of postelection seasons, though few would have predicted a month ago that all of it would be happening on the right. The “red wave” many expected never materialized; Republicans might have won the House, but they utterly failed to win it “bigly,” to borrow a term of art from the man being widely blamed for their underperformance. And there are signs that Trump himself may be looking to switch gears. In his speech announcing a 2024 campaign last week, there were, to be sure, a few references to the cultural wedge issues that shaped—and tanked—MAGA-approved campaigns this cycle, including swings against critical race theory and trans athletes. He spoke about putting drug dealers to death (a provocation in keeping with the tone of his 2016 campaign) and Hillary Clinton. He whined about voting methods and the Steele dossier.
While Trump’s speech was widely framed as an underwhelming salvo in the fight for the soul of the Republican Party, the familiarity of much of the platform he laid out suggests the substantive gap between him and the Republican elites loudly denouncing him again—never very large to begin with—is shrinking further still. At least one of the elite’s preferred standard-bearers, for his part, has spent the last few years moving in Trump’s direction. In all probability, we’ll find the future of the Republican Party in the places where the two meet. And we have every reason to believe the party’s future bodes poorly for our politics, whether or not Trump wins out.
Over the course of his first campaign and presidency, Trump’s vision for bringing “glory to America” shifted from an erratic and occasionally heterodox pseudo-populism toward the familiar platitudes of conservative orthodoxy. Every indication is that the transformation has held—the next campaign, as Trump renders it in his remarks, will be a fight between “freedom, values, individual responsibility, and just plain common sense” on the right and “an extreme ideology of government domination and control” on the left.
What does “better than Trump” really mean? The candidate who fits the bill for most of the GOP’s anxious donors and bigwigs at the moment is Ron DeSantis, a man who spent the campaign season stumping for candidates who backed Trump’s election claims and who vowed to take on nonexistent voter fraud within Florida. The GOP partially owes its House majority to DeSantis’s insistence on pushing through a more aggressively gerrymandered congressional map for the state than Republican lawmakers had intended. He inveighed against critical race theory and transgender people as or more aggressively than the party’s Trumpiest candidates in the rest of the country; sending migrants off to Martha’s Vineyard was as wicked and depraved a stunt as anything Trump has ever pulled.
There’ll probably have to be more where all that came from if DeSantis hopes to win over enough Trump loyalists and party activists to make the 2024 primary a real race. Trump, after all, is less an independent font of right-wing extremism than a particular, replaceable conduit for energies that have been shaping Republican politics for decades now. And the establishment’s bet that DeSantis might present a less threatening face to voters troubled by Trump will be undermined if the primary is particularly hard fought—returning Trump to his not-so-old self—or if Republicans in the House capture a large share of the public’s attention. Right now, the new majority, as narrow and fragile as it is, seems poised to antagonize the Biden administration and the Democrats in much the same way Republicans did when a much larger majority swept into the chamber under Obama: a flurry of investigations, a looming fight over the national debt, and sociocultural dog whistles aplenty about decadent cosmopolitans subverting American values.
Conservative media deserves most of the blame for emboldening the party’s fringe, but the right’s hacks have had a hand from some of the right’s putative critics. In the weeks and months before the election, predictions that Republicans would sweep into Congress on the basis of progressive cultural overreach were issued not only by the likes of Fox News but by The New York Times. For three straight elections now, Republicans have staked their campaigns on the exaggerated, imagined, or invented excesses of the left.
For three straight elections, the institutions of the mainstream press have covered Democratic campaigns and policymaking with the expectation and implication that the right’s messaging on cultural issues would largely succeed. And for three straight elections, the anticipated general backlash against cultural progressivism has utterly failed to materialize. Standing against all available evidence—the proof, in surveys and election results, that the electorate had moved measurably left on issues like racial justice, LGBT rights, and immigration over the last decade, the clear tendency of Republican politicians, unlike their Democratic counterparts, to embrace their party’s least popular ideas, like overturning Roe—the center and the right have been locked in a cycle of mutual delusion.
But measured by the onslaught of anti-trans measures Republicans have advanced across the country and the hatred conservative activists have stoked over the last few years, it’s hard to say that Republican messaging hasn’t worked, in the sense that the party has succeeded in making life more difficult and more dangerous for LGBT people. The motive of the recent mass shooting at a LGBT nightclub in Colorado Springs is still being investigated; it’s possible the attack might soon be appended to the list of massacres against Jews, Latinos, and African Americans that right-wing politics has inspired over the past few years.
The Republican Party understands the climate its rhetoric and strategies have created kills people and will continue to do so; it remains important to Republican politicians that the men being provoked to murder have the right tools at their disposal. It’s of some comfort that many Americans have come to see the right’s degeneracy for what it is and that Republicans continue to pay an electoral penalty for it. But given the mounting structural advantages the GOP enjoys within the federal system, this election barely qualifies as a setback. The 2024 campaign will be hard fought no matter who winds up on top of the Republican ticket. And even if it loses at the polls, we can rest assured that the right will snatch whatever victories it can manage from the jaws of political defeat. |

“We had art sessions between 10 and two,” Kim said.
On Thursday, the library will again have art sessions with a professional art teacher. Those drop-in art classes will occur between 10 a.m. and noon.
A library card is not required for the children participating in any programs held at the library.
In a release sent to the Telegraph on behalf of Highland Superintendent Mike Sutton and Board Negotiator Stephanie Jones, it was noted that the HEA made a multi-year offer for the first time since negotiations held on Sept. 8.
The cost of this offer to the board totalled $731,498. The board stated that it appreciated the willingness of the HEA to move from a one-year proposal. The board also believes, however, that they must hold firm on other financial commitments including whether teachers will make up days due to the strike or if they will be docked. |

en | N/A | N/A | Healthy Results: 6 Ways Employee Wellness Improves Productivity
By loans-one Last updated Jan 13, 2021
There’s very little chance that you’ve missed the social media posts of employees sharing their fitness scores and ranks. Even before FitBit made it cool, employee wellness programs have become a regular part of any company’s employee engagement strategies, as well as a way to attract top new talent to the company’s rosters.
And, no wonder. With 80% of employees in companies with well-designed and managed health programs reporting that they feel engaged in their work, and feel valued by their employers.
But, what about productivity when it comes to the work output? Well, wsix ways employee wellness programs boosts your employees’ productivity and cranks up their engagement.
1.The Key Benefit of Employee Wellness Programs: Happier Employees
Alright, so we know that the definition of happiness can be a bit tricky to pin down. However, when we speak about happy employees, we mean they’re enjoying higher rates of endorphins, which is known as the ‘happy’ hormone.
In the simplest of terms, any through the body. Therefore, even a tiny bit of exercise, like a short walk during the day can truly boost your employees’ moods, which has a concrete effect on their productivity.
2.Healthier Employees
There’s no denying the direct relationship between our nutrition, exercise, and the effects they have on our health.
By integrating employee wellness programs into the company culture, you’re indirectly creating an atmosphere where healthier lifestyle choices are desirable. In addition to increasing your employees’ awareness of the importance of healthy eating, it also highlightsa run every morning.
A workforce, and a healthy workforce won’t cost you millions of dollars due to health care costs, as well as countering the epidemic of absenteeism.
Therefore, healthy employees are more productive than ones who aren’t.
3.Friendlier Employees Who Enjoy Teamwork
One of the greatest perks of wellness programs is creating this sense of community and friendship in the workplace. By working together, whether during workouts or group exercises, gives your employeesbe healthier.
This model will mimic the way these same employees will be working together on projects and other tasks that require a degree of teamwork. You can also have department-based events, or team events like athletic leagues, which will give them some safe space to let off some competitive steam, as well as spend more time together outside of their workday.
After any sort of wellness event, you’ll find that more and more staff members are forging friendships and bonding in an organic way, without any of the awkwardness that tends to cling to any company-operated ice-breaking events.
4.Employees Who Are More Confident
Take a quick look through any social media platform, and look through health or fitness-based posts. You’ll find that many of them revolve around being fit, losing excess weight, or being an athlete.
The common factor in all of those posts is the sheer confidence portrayed by the people in those pictures. The same idea applies to your employees. Once they work on becoming more fit and healthy, you’ll start seeing an obvious boost in their confidence levels.
Confident employees tend to go about their day with great enthusiasm, which directly affects their productivity. Also, they’re less likely to shy away from sharing new ideas and thoughts with their coworkers. All of those factors lead to the creation of better leaders, who aren’t afraid to think outside the box.
Furthermore, it isn’t only about confidence, but also raising morale. When you have more confident employees on hand, they’re more inclined to look at problems and other situations with positive attitudes. An increase in positive attitude in the work environment is the definition of high morale.
5.Employees Who Are Money-Savvy
We’ve covered a lot of benefits of the physical and fitness-based employee programs. However, wellness can include other types of programs that still affect the well-being of your employees.
For example, providing financial literacy courses and access to resources like the payactiv platformappy and healthy employees equal employees that are grateful to their company for those opportunities.
This means that these employees have a higher chance of sticking to your company for the long haul. After all, employee retainment is a critical factor to a company’s reputation, business growth, and even the employees’ productivity levels.
You won’t have to invest more in new employees at the drop of a hat, which is a great return-on-investment, considering that most employee wellness programs are rather small and low in costs.
6.New Employees of Talent
Once you showcase your solid wellness programs, you can use them to attract prospective employees. Most workers will say that they consider wellness programs to be huge perks, so they’ll go out of their way to try and join companies that offer them.
It might sound a bit shallow on the part of prospective employees. However, it’s not only about free exercises and healthy snacks for them. Wellness programs are a strong indicator of the health of a company’s culture, and the company’s willingness to support its employees.
Ready to Boost Your Business’ Productivity?
We know that employee wellness programs might seem a bit too complex and draining for small businesses to establish. h.
Hopefully, our little guide of the top six bterms of productivity rates was enough to change your mind.
But, for now, you’ll want to keep up-to-date with the latest business tips and strategies for business growth and financial wellbeing. So make sure to check out our ‘business startup’ and ‘loan tips’ secti to not only run your business but to also increase its growth by tenfold.

Roseman (photographed by Carl Socolow ’77) 1 [ Dickinson matters ] Tools to engage the world Nancy A. Roseman, president T his June, I attended my first Dickinson Alumni Weekend. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet alumni from across the decades, all having experienced Dickinson at different points in its evolution. Among the many constants — from those celebrating their 50th reunion to those celebrating their fifth — was a deep affection for Dickinson, and for one another. The first Dickinsonian I met in a long receiving line on a stellar afternoon outside the Stern Center for Global Education clearly had thought carefully about what he would share with me in the few minutes we had together. He warmly welcomed me and quickly told me how Dickinson had shaped his life. The structure of this encounter was repeated as each person after him sought to give me a glimpse of why they loved Dickinson so much, how much it had affected their lives and created opportunities for them and why they were counting on me to be a good steward of their beloved college. That very first conversation among hundreds has stayed with me. It was an intensely related account of how the skills he had developed at Dickinson while studying foreign languages and cultures had opened a. He wanted me to fully appreciate how well Dickinson had prepared him for his future, personally and professionally. This theme, about the impact of language and d ic k in s on ma g a z i n e Fall 2013 2 cultural competency in our alumni’s lives, was repeated as the long line of well-wishers had their say. Dickinson provides a rigorous intellectual environment, with our language requirement being one of many impressive examples. The foreign-language program, combined with our global-studies initiatives and study-abroad programs, is a great strength of the college. Students in our foreign-language program, whether they are majors or simply fulfilling our language requirement — and by the way, over 60 percent of our students go beyond our requirement and take additional coursework — are developing not only language skills but also an appreciation and deep understanding of the associated culture. In fact, cultural competency, being able to navigate outside one’s comfort zone, Dickinsonians, particularly in a world increasingly without borders. A query to our language faculty on my behalf resulted in a chorus of faculty members proudly describing their curriculum and students’ accomplishments. Many pointed to theit the college. A deep culture of collaboration among our faculty is a constant source of new ideas and opportunities for our students. In fact, we pride ourselves on teaching in a way that connects the dots between seemingly disparate fields. This kind of synthetic thinking and doing is part of the power of a liberal-arts education, but ours is a distinctively Dickinsonian approach. Where else would a student majoring in Russian studies be able to assist our earth scientists in monitoring and studying a recent volcanic eruption in Russia? Our alumni constantly tell us of the remarkable career paths and life experiences that their study of foreign languages and cultures made possible. Our graduates’ language facility and their ability to navigate and thrive among cultural differences have opened doors to countless people and opportunities. Our language requirement, something that many liberal-arts colleges do not have, allows our graduates to live and work around the globe. Ultimately, they depart Carlisle fully equipped with the desire and the tools to engage the world. [ ask the archivist ] Instead of discussing just one item, I’m going to mention a whole category. For me, the most interesting items are among the rarest — those things that show u selves. What is in relatively short supply among our varied collections are letters, journals, scrapbooks, photographs and What is other memorabilia that show us what you r favor i t e students were thinking, how they were item in the spending their free time and how they archives? were growing as individuals during A l l i s o n Sc h e l l ’ 1 1. du. 3 [ our view ] New class, new momentum Stephanie Balmer, vice president f o r e n r o l l m e n t , m a r k e t i n g a n d c o mm u n i c a t i o n s a n d d e a n o f a d m i s s i o n s • There are 36 states, including Washington, D.C., and 18 countries, including the U.S., represented in the class. • Public-school students (60 percent) outnumber privateschool students (40 percent). • Domesticconstitute 15 percent of the class, international students represent 8 percent and alumni legacies 8.5 percent. • Recruited athletes constitute 24 percent of the class. Recruited squash players in the class of 2017 will likely play on our new varsity men’s and women’s squash teams in 2014–15, which will bring our varsity sport count to 25. • Fifty-five percent of the first-year class has been awarded need-based financial aid, totaling more than $10 million dollars. A s we welcome our 28th president, Nancy A. Roseman, and new leadership this academic year, we also welcome a new class — the class of 2017.college partner institutions, arrived this academic year. Moreover, the academic profile and diversity of this class are impressive: • For those submitting standardized test scores (approximately 69 percent of the class, as Dickinson has had a test-optional policy since 1996), the average SAT Critical Reading and Math score is 1288 (includes converted ACT scores). Of those reporting class rank (27 percent of the class), 4d ic k in s on ma g a z i n e Fall 2013 4 highereducation and consumer client work. 160over90 has developed [ your view ]. Although other recent classes have used social media to research and select a college, the class of 2017 has used this platform — whether it was Facebook, Twitter or Instagram — with regularity and learned much more about the college (and one another) prior to their August arrival. I was pleased in reading the summer 2013 issue of Dickinson Magazine to see how similar thinking guided both President Nancy Roseman and parent Hugh Howard inin preparing liberalarts graduates to respond to the challenges of living intelligently and creatively in our increasingly complex, information-saturated world. President Roseman wisely notes the importance of “intellectual flexibility and breadth across disciplines” as an essential part of a liberal-arts education, and Mr. Howard celebrates his daughter’s and her peers’ collaborative experience in curating the senior art show at The Trout Gallery. Any education that ignores the lessons that students may learn from taking on meaningful tasks that are important to them, as well as to sample areas of knowledge that broaden one’s outlook and ultimately participate in a capstone project that provides solid evidence of lessons learned, is an incomplete education. I am pleased to see that both our new college president and a parent of a new graduate of Dickinson share this perspective.
