Alliance High School and Alliance Middle School students showed off their science projects at the annual Science Alliance on Feb. 8.
Nineteen of those students earned superior ratings on their projects and will advance to the District 13 Science Fair at the University of Mount Union on March 16.
The following students received superior ratings on their projects: Matthew Everdyke, Alyssa White, Kevin Zurbrugg, Grant McGeehen, Jack Penturf, Kyleigh Ferrell, Kelly Deane, Natalie Hinkle, Kamryn Bondoni, Taylor BoschInI, Meghan Frazier, Elisabeth Davidson, Kemarie Evans, Julia Schwartz, Alexandra Cox, Mikalena Grewe, Sean Kelly, Michael Fagan and Devin White.
Deane and Hinkle won the Behavioral Science Award. Grewe and Kelly won the Physics Award.
Cox won the Environmental Science Award and Best of Show Award.
About 60 students are required to complete a science project for class, and between 30 and 40 students usually attend the fair.
Students benefit by participating, explained Nancy Holub, science teacher and coordinator of this event for the past 29 years.
"They have to be organized and know their projects," she said.
Science Alliance has been held at Alliance High for more than 35 years.
The judges consist of hospital workers, retired professors, Mount Union students and members of the community.
State testing has resulted in the science fair becoming smaller over the years. Teachers must spend more time on required materials to prepare students for state tests, allowing less time to do science fair projects.
Charlie Miller, a 7th grade science teacher, brought some of his students to participate in Science Alliance. He said in the 14 years he has guided students through the science fair, he feels the projects have improved in recent years.
"Project focus has improved and the students enjoy participating," he said.
Senior, Cox's project was titled "Can the Combination of Cow Manure Compost and Furrows Be Used to Reduce Erosion in Hydrophobic Soil?" Cox has been participating in this fair since she was in 7th grade. She chose this project because "it's very important for us to protect our soil," she said.
She also explained her favorite part of Science Alliance:
"I really enjoy science and learning new things. I do like to see the projects come together. Learning from other projects is really cool."
Junior, Maggie Ledbetter's project was "Does Color Boost Your Memory?"
"I heard that colors boost your memory, especially the color blue," she said. But tests she did for her project proved that isn't true.
Junior, Kelly's project was "Using a Laser to Measure the Speed of Light in Gelatin." This was his first year participating in the science fair.
He's liked lasers since he was a little kid and did some research on them before deciding on this project.
"The different laser beams and light is really cool," he said.

As Metro Manila's residential communities become increasingly saturated, people are moving to the peripheries of this mega city for more peace and quiet. And for those looking for a community where they can get the best of suburban life and still have all the modern comforts they enjoy within easy reach, Sta. Rosa, Laguna might just be the sweet spot to move into.
Sta. Rosa is approximately 40 kilometers south of Metro Manila and is in the first district of the Province of Laguna. It lies 50 kilometers northwest of Sta. Cruz, Laguna's capital. Sta. Rosa's boundaries are Biñan in the northwest, Cabuyao in the south and southwest, and the Province of Cavite in the west. Laguna de Bay is in the northeast.
Getting Around*
Sta. Rosa is accessible via the South Luzon Expressway. It has two exits: Santa Rosa (KM 38) and Greenfield City – ETON City – ABI (KM 42).
A four-lane national highway passes through the city, starting from Alabang, Muntinlupa City to Pagsanjan, Laguna. Driving along the Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay Road is one of the easiest ways to reach Tagaytay City, a popular weekend getaway.
Jeepneys, buses, and tricycles are readily available for commuters who want to travel within and around the area.
Why You'll Love The Place
Sta. Rosa offers a laid-back suburban lifestyle with the conveniences of modern living. Several suburban communities like this 25-hectare development are being built to meet the growing demand from residents relocating to this highly urbanized city.
Prestigious Metro Manila-based schools have established branches in and around Sta. Rosa, enticing young families with children to establish roots there. Being just a few minutes away from where they live, kids won't have to endure long bus rides to get a quality education.
In Sta. Rosa, the learning goes beyond the four walls of a classroom. With mountains and beaches of Laguna and Batangas at their doorstep, kids can enjoy the outdoors and develop an appreciation for nature.
Weekends are always a family affair at Sta. Rosa, with major malls, community malls, and commercial centers offering hundreds of dining and shopping options. These commercial centers are known for their outlet shops, where branded apparel are sold at more affordable prices.
Mention Sta. Rosa and the Enchanted Kingdom, the country's biggest theme park, comes to mind. Other leisure activities one can enjoy in the city are playing golf, wakeboarding, mountain biking, and running.
Contributing to Sta. Rosa's growing appeal is the presence of special economic zones and industrial parks, which in turn have provided employment opportunities to the community. Job seekers need not venture to the mainstream commercial business districts to look for work and stay close to home.
Japanese car giants Nissan, Toyota, Honda, and Mitsubishi have assembly plants in Sta. Rosa. Food and beverage powerhouses Monde Nissin and Coca-Cola Philippines also have sprawling manufacturing facilities in the city.
And with companies like Convergys, KGB, Teletech, IBM, Concentrix, and Ubisoft, Sta. Rosa is also making a name for itself as an IT hub.
Sta. Rosa has drawn retirees and expatriates who are looking for a quiet and relaxing haven. Professionals from the manufacturing and BPO industries, as well as young families, happily call the city home.
And as one of the provinces with the highest number of college graduates, residents of other Laguna towns and municipalities are flocking to what is considered as the "Makati of Southern Luzon" in hopes of better professional prospects.
Laid-back yet progressive, Sta. Rosa can be considered as a city that champions work-life balance.
Here, residents can look forward to a productive day at the office and still come home to their loved ones with a lot of energy remaining; after all, they aren't stressed by the chaos of regular city life. That Sta. Rosa can have the best of both worlds is something communities across the country can learn from and aspire for.

Canadian Common Ground Alliance
The Canadian Common Ground Alliance (CCGA) strongly supports Bill S-229, An Act respecting underground infrastructure safety, introduced by Senator Grant Mitchell, which entered Second Reading debate on October 4, 2016. This legislation will reduce the costs and increase safety associated with damages to our underground infrastructure by addressing the need for a mandated comprehensive call/click-before-you-dig notification system across Canada.
The members of the CCGA, which include the Canadian Gas Association (CGA), the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA), as well as other industry associations representing excavators, locators, road builders, telecommunications, railroad, water, landscapers, construction, engineering and design, encourage all Senators and Parliamentarians to support Bill S-229 and for the federal government to mandate a comprehensive notification system for locate requests before digging.
There is a system of underground infrastructure that delivers and transports the services that support us in our daily lives, including energy, television, telecommunications, water and sewage. As Senator Mitchell stated in the Senate "It's a web of wires, pipes, fibre optics and oil and gas pipelines that are at the root of our quality of life and our standard of living."
This legislation is in response to a report published by the Senate Committee on the Energy, Environment and Natural Resources in December 2014 that recommended all jurisdictions mandate the use of this type of notification system. While currently there are Call/Click Before you Dig systems in Canada, there is no legislation, except in Ontario, to require its use. Bill S-229 would ensure the system is comprehensive and effective for underground infrastructure on federal lands.
There is a significant amount of cost and damages from people who hit underground infrastructure when they are digging, whether it is from major construction projects or homeowners digging in their yard. In 2015, there were more than 10,000 voluntary reports of damage to underground infrastructure in Canada, of which 79 per cent caused a disruption to services.
According to a report conducted by CIRANO, an organization based in Quebec, entitled Socio-Economic Cost Assessment for Damages to Underground Infrastructures, there are more than the obvious direct costs, including the cost of the materials, labour costs and administrative costs related to the damages. There are also indirect costs related to the damage, including intervention of emergency services, evacuations, loss of products, environmental impact, economic impact on businesses and risk of injury or death.
While Bill S-229 covers underground infrastructure that is federally regulated or on federal lands, it is a positive step in the right direction. As Senator Mitchell stated, "this federal initiative can contribute to momentum for a national system. It is an opportunity for positive, collaborative national leadership."
The CCGA's vision is to be Canada's unified damage prevention voice and attract members from all Canadian national organizations and associations who share common damage prevention and public safety solutions.

We just hope we don't have fire like the one we had on up the hill a few years ago. It was a close call.
I sat out back today, and at Nancy's suggestion, put something together to commemorate the 4th. It isn't much, but it was fun working on being looser and painting in layers.
Happy Fourth Ya'll

La India Tickets
Linda Viera Caballero or 'The Princess of Salsa' is all set to make you sway with her salsa beats this season. La India or India, is a famous salsa and house music singer. She has won great acclaim for her brilliant studio recordings and passionate live salsa. La India tickets give you a chance to enjoy her live side. Get hold of them soon.
La India began her career in early adolescence as a member of a Latin freestyle group called TKA. She remained with the group until its second album Come Get My Love, after which she left TKA and shelled under Reprise Records. The record company made her into the Latin Madonna; soon she released her first solo studio album Breaking Night. However, the singer chose not to go towards this genre, in turn changed her route towards salsa music.
The singer got a chance to work under John Benitez a.k.a. Jellybean. This apprenticeship was the start of her career as a house music artist. Under Jellybean's direction, she re-recorded his song 'Dancing on the Fire' which succeeded more than the original number. Once India became popular in the house music circles more and more doors opened to her. She got a chance to collaborate and work with names like Louie Vega and Kenny Gonzalez. As a part of this trio she sung two house anthems 'I Can't Get No Sleep' and 'When You Touch Me'. These songs were later featured in Masters At Work a 1993 release by Cutting Records.
India's salsa career began in 1992 when she released her first salsa album Llego La India produced by Eddie Palmier. The album was a hit and was also celebrated as the 'Best Salsa Album of the Year' followed. The album also earned India a nomination in the 1993 Lo Neustro Awards in the category of the Best Performer.
The artist further mastered her salsa and house music skills by releasing another house-music single with Vega in 1994. Soon after the release this album titled Love and Happiness became a hit because of 'Dicen Quo Soy' a single featured on the album. It was a Billboard hit, and an acclaimed two-fold gold-certified single. India also teamed up with Marc Anthony for the duet titled 'Vivor Lo Nuestro', which became a part of the album Combinacion Perfecta.
La India further brought in more spirited music by releasing 'Jazzin'. This 1996 collaboration with Tito Puente was mix bag of Latin and mainstream pop. Later in the same year, she sang for Voces Unidas, an album dedicated to the Summer Olympics of 1996. The album featured songs of a number of famous artists, however India's single 'Banderas' was one of the best on the album. She teamed up with Celia Cruz the Queen of Salsa for 'La Voz de la Experienca'. The single 'Sobre el Feugo' was the first single that she sang with Kevin Ceballo and won her a Grammy nomination.
In 1999, Sola became her first album to get commendable critic response. Walking into the new millennium with more zest and energy than ever, the artist kept delivering musical hits one after the other. She also received her second Grammy nomination for the single 'Seduceme' featured on Latin Songbird: Mi Alma y Corazon. This single was a No.1 hit on US Billboard Hot Latin Tracks and Latin charts. Her album 'Soy Differente' earned her the Best Tropical Album of the Year and Latin Dance Club Play Track of the Year Awards in 2007. She also paired up with Gloria Estefan for a beautiful duet titled '90 Millas'.
Apart from recording and releasing some brilliant solo and collaborative songs, India tried hands on both live salsa and new house. Once India went live, she was turned out be more versatile and talented than ever. Her concerts in US and especially Puerto Rico were sold out. La India tickets were very hard to find.
In 2005, India became a part of a memorable tribute to Selena Quintanilla-Perez. However after this she became relatively inactive in the recording scene. She made a comeback with her single 'Estupida' and her ninth album 'Unica' in 2010. Fans were delighted to hear a fresher new side of her music. She went back to duets landing with Isaac Delgado in 2011 for a brand new house track 'Tacalacateo'. India was also featured on UNITY: The Latin Tribute to Michael Jackson.
La India will be promoting her latest release on this tour. Grab your tickets to watch her live, out and loud. Enjoy!

Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) defended on Thursday her previous claim that President Trump has somehow coerced Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) into publicly supporting him through blackmail.
"He is somehow compromised to no longer stand up for the truth and is fighting to protect the oath that he took in serving the American people," Omar said on CNN, reiterating a claim she first made in a Tuesday tweet, sent in response to a video of Graham denouncing Trump in 2015.
Asked to expand her upon her tweet, Omar suggested the president might be threatening to stifle Graham's political career if he continued the public derision he leveled at then-candidate Trump during the presidential campaign.
"I am pretty sure that there is something happening with him, whether it is, you know, something that has to do with his funding when it comes to running for office, whether it has something to do with the polling that they might have in his district [sic], or whether it has to do with some sort of leadership within the Senate," Omar said when the segment began.
Asked by CNN's Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto to provide evidence substantiating her claim, Omar admitted that the statement represented her opinion and was not based on any proprietary knowledge.
"The evidence really is present to us. It's being presented to us in the way that he is behaving," Omar asserted.
"But that's not evidence," Harlow responded. "That's your opinion, but now as a sitting member of Congress, you have tweeted, 'They got him on this.' Again, just based on what evidence?"
"My tweet was just an opinion based on what I believe to be visible to me, and I'm pretty sure there are lots of Americans who agree on this," Omar conceded.
Omar leveled the accusation at Graham just hours after MSNBC's Stephanie Rhule appeared to endorse the theory on-air.
"It could be that Donald Trump or somebody knows something pretty extreme about Lindsey Graham," Ruhle said before abruptly ending her segment on Tuesday. "We're gonna leave it there."

I have a list of foods that I have to eat while I'm here, and one of them is a big fat Chipotle burrito. Chipotle is possibly the only fast food joint that I'll walk into because I know I can get a vegan burrito there no problem, and what makes it even better is that it's no longer owned by McDonald's, so I don't have to feel guilty about supporting it. And , whaddya know, since I left, a Chipotle opened up right by my grandma's house!
My sister and I shared a 'Vegetarian burrito' with chips. It soooo satisfied my burrito craving. Someone should seriously bring a Chipotle to Seoul! They would make a fortune from all the expats (and even Koreans too who are catching on to Mexican food), and give Dos Tacos a run for their money.
Moving on... In general, I don't crave packaged snacks, but I will admit to missing Doritos. I thought I would forever have to live without, and then I heard snippets through the blogging grapevine that there were supposedly vegan Doritos out there. However, I didn't let myself believe it for fear that it was just another vegan urban myth, like the one that Clint Eastwood is a vegan (he's not). Plus, denial helps when you're all the way in South Korea with access to only one Doritos flavor. But then I came here, and sure enough, there it was, radiating love and sunshine in the middle of the packaged snacks aisle at Pavillions.
Ohhh yes. Better believe it.
Like I said, I'm not a huge snack lover, but if I see one that's vegan, I'll try it out, just for novelty's sake, and I might keep buying and eating it, for the sole satisfaction of knowing that I can. And there are so many vegan snacks here in the US, whether intentional or not, that I'm pretty sure I would gain a ton of weight if I moved back. Anyway, here's another bag of vegan chips my sister and I bought.
It was aiight, but not as good as the vegan Doritos!! I'm already trying to think of how I'm going to explain to the customs inspection agent at Incheon Airport why my suitcase will be filled with nothing but Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos chips.

Amir Khan keen to represent Pakistan at Olympic Games in Rio
By Rory O'Callaghan
Last Updated: 02/06/16 6:24am
Amir Khan says he "would love" to fight for Pakistan at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Khan's comments came after the International Boxing Association (AIBA) announced on Wednesday that professional boxers would be allowed to compete in Brazil this summer.
Bolton-born Khan shot to fame after winning a lightweight silver medal for Great Britain at the 2004 Olympics in Athens as a 17-year-old.
Khan subsequently turned professional and in 2009 outpointed Andriy Kotelnik to win the WBA world super-lightweight title.
The 29-year-old - whose most recent fight ended in a brutal knockout defeat to WBC middleweight champion Saúl Álvarez - hailed the ruling by boxing's governing body.
"It's a decision which I welcome," Khan said at a press conference in Karachi.
"It will help boxers and if I am permitted as per rules and from my promoter then I would love to compete for Pakistan. I will be very happy if I can compete in the Olympics. I want to serve Pakistan."
Khan's father, Shah, hails from a village close to the capital Islamabad but migrated to Britain, where Amir was born in 1986.
Pakistan Boxing Federation secretary Iqbal Hussain said he was thrilled at the prospect of Khan representing the country.
"I have to check the rules whether Amir can compete or not but it would be a huge boost for us if it happens because he is our hero," he said.
Khan's younger brother, Haroon, was blocked from representing Pakistan at the 2012 London Olympics as he had represented Great Britain at junior level.

insurance policies
Cyber-insurance: What you need to know?
A question that I often get from clients is one about cyber-insurance. In light of the recent passing of Bill S-4, better known as the Digital Privacy Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Act has now been amended to include mandatory breach notification provisions. While these mandatory breach notification provisions are not yet in force, it is a good time to review your cyber-insurance coverage.
Steps companies can take to protect themselves from data breaches
The malevolently-inclined are getting more ambitious (a 2014 study by the Ponemon Institute that evaluated security-breach costs in the retail sector suggests that average size of a breach is about 30,000 records) and more damaging (average loss is now about $105 per stolen record). The same study estimated that the average cost of a cyber-crime for the retailer is about $3.15-million. These are average numbers only: recent large-scale retail breaches have involved records in the millions, with costs similarly increased. Although the article was written before the holidays, the tips provided are still very useful to manage the risk of security breaches.
Protecting your business from legal risks: a brief overview
For any business owner comes the responsibility to protect your assets and the reputation of your business. As you may know, reputation is everything when it comes to generating new clientele and keeping your existing clients. The implications to a business because of false or legitimate claims can be significant and in some cases can cause it to close entirely. Protecting your business and reputation from any such claims therefore needs to be considered at the planning stage, and regularly reviewed.
Minimizing risk by having the proper insurance coverage and risk management practices
You can purchase business insurance for nearly every operation and risk your business faces. However, navigating the particularities of insuring your organization can seem daunting. Investing in insurance coverage is a necessary part of operating a sound business, whether your organization is for profit or not.

Brockville – Environment Canada has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our entire region for today.
Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts and heavy rain.
Conditions will be favourable for severe thunderstorms late this morning into this afternoon. A cold front will move through Eastern Ontario, triggering numerous thunderstorms across the region.
The main threats are damaging wind gusts of 90 to 100 km/h, and torrential downpours giving 25 to 50 mm of rain in under an hour.
Fast-moving water across a road can sweep a vehicle away. Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles. Intense lightning is likely with any thunderstorm that develops. Remember, severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management recommends that you take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to email@example.com or tweet reports using #ONStorm.

The main differences between free and paid themes are in the option panel. Free themes are mostly free because people who are making them get back-links from the theme when someone uses their theme. Therefore, their main aim is to get back-links, not to provide what is needed for your site or blog. Ya, it is true that they will try to make an attractive template, but I do not need an attractive template. What I need now- is something that will give me more comfort and power of modification.
Here is the time when you should choose a paid template. I have used several free themes once and seen that they are a little bit unhealthy for modification for a novice user. In addition, paid themes like thesis, genesis or woo themes already has so many option in their theme panel that you can choose at there what you want to modify.
There is no problem in using a free theme from a reliable source like WordPress, but often the free themes from unreliable location contains iframes and codes that you won't want to have in your blog. Now they encrypt the code in such a way that most people cannot remove it. If there are suspicious codes in your theme then you should check it carefully- there is always a chance to get hacked.
These are some reason why I choose paid themes over free themes. Template editing might be a problem for some people who do not know how to do it or do not have the time. Paid theme is a better option for them.
For SEO purpose I always recommend to use paid themes. Using Meta tags for each page and categories, custom title and some other on page SEO options it is always very much easy with the paid themes. Whereas, if you are not an expert you can't put them in your free theme's template.
It is not an option (free theme) for a professional blogger or the person who are willing to do business. For security, flexibility and for the sake of your business you should use a paid theme. Paid themes developers offers updates and support for their themes, as they have been paid for that. Most of the free themes will not offer this.
Another thing – be sure about that the design offered by a free theme is never comparable with a paid theme. Paid theme developers spend plenty of hours and their valuable research on how to make their theme best. This is their business and they do not want to let it go down. So you can get the best from a paid one.
If you have to use the free themes then use the ones WP directory is hosting. You can find them here: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/. Also some paid theme sellers provides free themes with less functionality, but it is always better to choose a paid one.

Inducing autoimmune disease to treat cancer
For many years, visions for development of successful immunotherapy of cancer revolved around the induction of immune responses against tumor-specific "neoantigens." However, as demonstrated in a recent paper in the Proceedings by Overwijk et al. (1), the generation of tissue-specific autoimmune responses represents an approach to cancer immunotherapy that is gaining momentum. Thus, a new principle in cancer therapy states that the ability to induce tissue-specific autoimmunity will allow for the treatment of many important cancers.
The original focus on tumor-specific neoantigens derived from a number of findings. Vaccination-challenge experiments performed between carcinogen-induced murine tumor models typically demonstrated that autologous tumors vaccinated much more effectively against themselves than against other independently derived tumors even of the same histologic type (2). These results were taken to imply that unique antigens specific to a particular tumor were more "immunogenic" than shared antigens that would be expressed by multiple different tumors. This implication appeared to be corroborated when T cell clones raised against murine tumors were found to be specific exclusively for the tumor against which they were raised and failed to recognize other tumors derived from syngeneic animals (3). The revolution in cancer genetics provided an apparent molecular basis for these experimental findings. As it became clear that cancer was a disease characterized by genetic instability (4), the tremendous array of genetic alterations unique to each tumor could provide unique peptide sequences, which when presented on a tumor's MHC molecules would represent tumor-specific neoantigens capable of being recognized by T cells. Such a view of the tumor-specific antigen was quite distinct from the majority of tumor antigens recognized by antibodies, which tended to recognize ubiquitously expressed cell-surface antigens whose structure was modified in tumors by posttranslational events, most commonly altered glycosylation (5).
From the standpoint of immunotherapy, the concept of targeting unique tumor-specific antigens provided two fundamental advantages. First, immune responses targeted against unique antigens theoretically would be exquisitely tumor-specific and produce no collateral damage to normal cells. Second, it was imagined that immune tolerance to tumor-specific neoantigens might not be particularly stringent as these would have arisen subsequent to development of the mature adult immune system. Thus, tolerance to neoantigens could be broken or superceded more easily than tolerance to self-antigens. These potential advantages are balanced against a significant disadvantage, namely that immune therapies targeted against unique tumor-specific antigens would by necessity be individualized rather than generic, thereby dramatically increasing the cost and labor intensity of treating large numbers of patients.
Over the past 5 years, a set of surprising experimental findings from studies of human antitumor immune responses has led to a shift in emphasis from unique tumor-specific antigens to tissue-specific self-antigens as promising targets for immune therapy. This shift began in 1994 when Coulie and colleagues (6) discovered that the target for a melanoma-specific CD8+ T cell clone grown from a melanoma patient was wild-type tyrosinase, a melanosomal enzyme selectively expressed in melanocytes and responsible for one of the steps in melanin biosynthesis. Subsequently, a number of investigators found that their melanoma-specific CD8+ T cells indeed recognized melanocyte-specific antigens rather than melanoma-specific antigens (7–10). Most of these antigens appear to be melanosomal proteins, and a number of them, including tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2, and gp100, are involved in melanin biosynthesis. Other melanosomal proteins such as MART1/Melan A have no known function but are nonetheless melanocyte-specific tissue differentiation antigens. As the experience in identifying antigens recognized by melanoma-specific T cells expanded, it appeared that recognition of these melanocyte-specific differentiation antigens by melanoma-reactive CD8+ T cells were not spurious events but rather represented the dominant target of immune responses. In contrast, recognition of peptides derived from unique tumor-specific mutations represented infrequent reactivities identified among melanoma-reactive CD8+ T cells grown from melanoma patients (11–13). Regarding MHC, class II restricted CD4 responses, whereas the majority of these seemed to recognize unique antigens (in contrast to CD8 responses) responses against wild-type tyrosinase peptides were nonetheless identified from among panels of MHC class II-restricted CD4+ melanoma reactive T cells (14, 15). Additional evidence for the relevance of tissue-specific antiself responses in melanoma immunotherapy came from the finding that patients whose tumors responded to IL-2-based immunotherapy occasionally developed vitiligo (autoimmune depigmentation of patches of skin), whereas vitiligo was essentially never seen among melanoma patients whose failed to respond to immunotherapy (16).
These findings generated both surprise and excitement among the cancer immunology and autoimmunity communities. They created an important scientific linkage between the cancer immunology and autoimmunity fields in that antitumor immune responses and autoimmune responses now could be viewed as opposite faces of the same coin (17). Stated more practically, given that so many of the common cancers are derived from dispensable tissues (e.g., melanoma, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer), induction of immune responses against tissue-specific antigens shared by these tumors might represent an immunotherapy approach whose autoimmune side effects would represent acceptable collateral damage. Thus, principles learned from the dissection of mechanisms by which tolerance is broken to cause autoimmune disease could be applied to the generation of cancer immunotherapy targeted toward tissue-specific autoantigens. Indeed, investigators have identified a number of important factors in the activation of autoimmune responses. Certain MHC types predispose to susceptibility to spontaneous as well as experimentally induced autoimmune disease, presumably the cause of their ability to present particular self-epitopes. One of the holy grails in the autoimmunity field is the identification of the initiating antigenic targets for autospecific responses. An underlying hypothesis in the field states that initiating autoantigens represent "cryptic" epitopes, which, because they are not normally presented at high density, do not induce active tolerance within the immune system (18). Induction of autoimmune responses is believed to occur when these cryptic epitopes somehow become presented at higher density and also are presented in the context of active immune responses induced by infection with a foreign pathogen (19). Thus, as the scenario goes, a susceptible individual is exposed to an infectious agent that expresses epitopes that mimic self-antigens. Inflammatory signals such as cytokines and other signals provided by T cells reacting to foreign epitopes on the virus lead to a cascade of responses that activate latent T cell responses against the self-antigen. If these latent T cell responses can become appropriately activated and sustained, they are capable of recognizing lower concentrations of the self-epitope on normal tissues and therefore can initiate an autoimmune reaction.
Recently, there have been an increasing number of examples of antigen or epitope mimicry between antigens on infectious organisms and self-antigens that are candidate targets for associated autoimmune diseases. One of the best examples with demonstrated physiologic relevance is the reported mimicry between an epitope from the spirochete causing Lyme disease and LFA-1, a candidate target for immune responses in Lyme-associated arthritis (20). An important feature of either spontaneous or experimentally induced autoimmune disease is that the ability to break tolerance and induce autoimmunity is highly dependent on the particular autoantigen. By analogy, it follows that attempts to induce autoimmune responses against tissue-specific self-antigens as a strategy for cancer immunotherapy would depend significantly on which antigen was chosen.
The experiments reported by Overwijk et al. (1) indeed represent a dramatic example of this principle. They set up an antigen mimicry version of cancer immunotherapy by producing a panel of recombinant vaccinia that incorporated the murine homologues of each of the defined melanocyte-specific differentiation antigens targeted by T cells from human melanoma patients and analyzed each of the recombinant vaccinia for their ability to induce vitiligo in C57BL6 mice as a measure of induction of tissue-specific autoimmunity. This finding was correlated with the different recombinant vaccines' ability to induce protection against challenge with the C57BL6-derived B16 melanoma. This system holds all variables (strain of mouse, immunization vector, and tumor challenge) constant while varying only the melanocyte-specific antigen incorporated into the vaccine. In so doing, they found that only recombinant vaccinia expressing TRP-1 induced vitiligo or protected against B16 melanoma challenge. These experiments add to the growing list of approaches that are inducing autoimmune disease and concomitant antitumor immunity. The study by Overwijk et al. represent the most clear-cut and dramatic demonstration of the importance of the particular antigen in the ability to break tolerance and cause autoimmunity and a therapeutic antitumor response.
A number of additional interesting findings fall out of these experiments. One of the most important outcomes is the lack of correlation between induction of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) specificity and autoimmunity or antitumor immunity. Indeed, the dominant melanocyte-specific antigen recognized by B16 reactive CD8 T cells is not TRP-1, but rather, TRP-2 (21). CTL against a second melanocyte antigen, gp100, could be elicited by immunization of mice with human gp100, which fortuitously generates a heteroclitic response against the corresponding murine gp100 epitope (22). However, neither vaccinia-TRP-2 nor vaccinia-gp100 immunization induced any vitiligo or antitumor immunity. Furthermore, the ability to induce vitiligo and antitumor immunity by vaccinia-TRP-1 relied not on the presence of CD8 cells but rather on CD4 T cell responses. This finding, together with recent experimental data demonstrating the central role of CD4+ T cell responses and antitumor immunity (23–28) should help to cure the cancer immunology field of its tunnel-vision obsession with CD8+ CTL as the only relevant immunologic antitumor effector. These findings also correlate with the general principle that MHC-linked susceptibility to autoimmune disease usually maps to MHC class II rather than MHC class I loci.
A final point worth considering in the discussion of harnessing autoimmunity for cancer therapy relates to the relative importance of the antigen chosen for vaccination versus the adjuvant or vehicle for antigen delivery during the immunization. In the Overwijk et al. studies (1), the immunologic "adjuvant" was the vaccinia virus in which the TRP-1 gene was incorporated. Recombinant viral vectors represent one of an ever increasing array of approaches to create inflammatory or "danger" responses that will enhance the activation of a cryptic T cell repertoire specific for these antigens (29). To determine the relative importance of antigen vs. adjuvant, one would need to hold the antigen constant and instead vary the adjuvant or vaccine vector used to initiate the immunization. It is likely that both the specific antigen as well as the form of immunologic adjuvant will be critical in defining the qualitative and quantitative nature of immune responses generated. One might imagine a scenario depicted schematically in Fig. 1 in which the level of immunity against a particular tumor or self-antigen is viewed as a potential energy diagram. Under normal circumstances, the level of endogenous immunity against this antigen is below a critical threshold necessary for clinical autoimmunity or antitumor immunity. A successful autoimmune or antitumor response would require the elevation of immunity against a particular antigen above a critical threshold. The stringency of tolerance against a particular antigen is represented by the "distance" of the endogenous immunity level below the reactivity threshold level. If one chooses an antigen against which immune tolerance is maintained relatively nonstringently (such as TRP-1 in the Overwijk experiments), then it will be easier to elevate the level of immunity against that antigen above the critical threshold. In such a model, the correct choice of both antigen and adjuvant is critical. Furthermore, synergistic approaches to interfere with immunologic checkpoints that down-regulate immune responses (such as blocking CTLA-4 or FASL-FAS interactions) might further enhance the elevation of antitumor immunity (30, 31). The next decade will indeed see an increasing number of attempts to harness autoimmunity as therapy against cancer.

Inspiration for
House of Joe
House of Joe (HOJ) was founded October 12, 2012; inspired by the 17 year partnership with Joe McPeak. The original HOJ consisted of not only Joe (McPeak), but also his dog Joey and cat Josie. Every card sent from him home was lovingly signed "House of Joe". The "House of Joe" was always filled with love, laughter, compassion, spirituality, and hope.
After a long battle with AIDS, Joe McPeak died on December 13, 2010 and within a few months Joey and Josie also passed. It was then that the dream began, to see the loving memories live on and the "House of Joe" continue to thrive through a nonprofit.
It was Joe's life that gave rise to the idea of turning his strength into a mechanism to continue his life. House of Joe was founded by Joseph Walker and with support of family and friends, the dream is coming true.
Often, many basic needs of individuals living with HIV/AIDS are overlooked. Joe McPeak was blessed in that he never had to worry about toiletries, paying for medication, household items, or support from his family. The mission of House of Joe is to improve the quality of life of individuals living with HIV/AIDS. We believe that everyone should have the basic necessities to live a healthy, happy, and full life.
We support agencies that work everyday to feed and provide medical treatment to those living with HIV/AIDS by providing needed items. Please note we do not provide housing or direct assistance to individuals.

A WEATHER warning for rain has been upgraded from yellow to amber over East Lancashire, the Met Office has confirmed.
The amber warning- which brings the "potential risk to life and property" the forecaster says, will be in place from 3pm on Saturday to 3pm on Sunday.
The warning means Storm Dennis is likely to bring very heavy rain, flooding and disruption to travel over the weekend.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Homes and businesses are likely to be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.
"Fast flowing or deep floodwater is likely, causing danger to life.
"Delays and some cancellations to train and bus services are likely.
"Spray and flooding probably leading to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.
"A good chance some communities cut off by flooded roads.
"Power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses likely."
The amber warning covers areas of Burnley, Padiham, parts of Rossendale, Pendle and the Ribble Valley, going north and east into Yorkshire.
A yellow weather warning for rain and wind will be in place across the rest of Lancashire.
A Burnley Council spokesman said: "Storm Dennis is on its way this weekend and people are being encouraged to prepare for further rain and stormy conditions.
"There is currently an amber rain warning from the Met Office for heavy rain at times, with the chance of flooding and traffic disruption over an area including our borough.
"Residents and businesses, especially in those areas previously hit by flooding, are being encouraged to take whatever measures they feel appropriate to prepare for the weekend's rain in order to best protect their properties, including preparing any flood prevention measures they have ready to put them in place if necessary.
"During Storm Ciara some premises suffered flood water coming up from the ground and into cellars and basements - it may be worth considring moving property out of reach of any flooding if possible.
"The council is planning and preparing its response and staff and equipment are on stand by ready to assist in any flood-hit areas."

EPS power flow, or EPS flow, was the flow of power in the electro-plasma system.
In 2369, after it was learned that Odo and Lwaxana Troi were trapped in a turbolift, there was a diagnosis of the turbolift power net and the transporter was checked, too. Though both systems were operational, they were not receiving the power needed for their functions. So, Chief of Operations Miles O'Brien was attempting a reroute of the EPS power flow to these systems. He expressed his lack of confidence in the station's computer, stating that if he was aboard a Federation starship, he could complete the rerouting in two hours. Later, to the surprise of O'Brien, the EPS power flow was rerouted in less than an hour. However, the turbolift circuits were not activated, a condition to which O'Brien had no explanation for. (DS9: "The Forsaken")
In 2370, Data assisted Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge in his friendly power conversion efficiency contest with Donald Kaplan of the USS Intrepid. He requested from Data that he keep the flow consistent while he remodulated the power taps. Data noted that this procedure would only increase the conversion level by .8%. This procedure raised the power conversion levels to 97.2%, beating the 97.1% set by the Intrepid. (TNG: "Force of Nature")

I was configuring the Team Foundation Server 2010, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 with SQL Server 2008. I was searching a way to enable the "logon as service" policy to apply TFS Users. Initially it was hard for me to find the way to enable the same and finally figured it out. 🙂
First add the users in your active directory.
after that please follow the steps.
1. On the Windows Server 2008 domain controller, click Start, type gpmc.msc in the Start Search box, and press Enter to open the Group Policy Management console.
or else you can naviagate to console via administrative tool as below:
2. In the Group Policy Management console, expand <You Domain>\Domain Controllers, right-click Default Domain Controller Policy, and click Edit.
3. In the Group Policy Management Editor window, expand Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Right Assignment, and then you will see the security setting log on as a service in the right pane.
4. Double-click the security setting log on as a service, click Add User or Group tab, click Browse, type domain users in the box, click Check Names, and click OK three times to apply the settings.
5. On the Windows Server 2008 domain controller, run command gpupdate /force to apply the policy.

Tess Martin's travel blog:
I arrived in Berlin on Friday, and stayed at an acquaintance's lovely flat in Kreuzberg, near Oranienplatz – a very busy street filled with cafes, middle eastern restaurants, and fruit stalls – and a popular street for protests – there were two large marches in the three days I was there. My hosts took me out to an art walk of sorts in the Hermannstrasse neighbourhood, and I spent one whole day walking around and learning the layout of the city. Berlin seems very big, with wider streets and sidewalks than most European cities. But still quite…gritty. Lots of graffiti, no elevators, and old fashioned stamping machines to 'validate' your subway ticket before boarding. But definitely a lot of art happening, and lots of international people.
The Lichtblick Kino is a funky 36 seat cinema in the Rosenthaler area in North Berlin – the same day as my screening they were showing Wings of Desire (Der Himmel uder Berlin), and a French Inspector Lavardin mystery. Despite all the cute fliers and posters advertising the Inter-Action screening (animations from Seattle), unfortunately, not many people attended – must have been the Sunday 10PM start time and the cold night.
But it was still a wonderful experience – thank you to Heinz and Hedda for making my stay much more enjoyable!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Mission Trip to Yucatan No Ordinary Senior Class Trip for Livingstone Students
Livingstone Adventist Academy's seniors came home from their mission trip to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico with good memories and lasting relationships. The class of 12 went to an area in Cancun where Hurricane Wilma destroyed much of the already rundown area. This was not the Cancun you see in travel magazines.
The purpose for the trip was to help the church family build a roof, which would hopefully be the base of their second floor some day. Church of New Hope, or Iglesia de Esperanza, had four cemented walls standing on dirt ground. It was a small church of about 30 members. Many of them came and worked side by side with the students every day. It was difficult work, hauling and lifting bricks and shoveling and dumping cement. It was far from an easy process, but all the seniors agreed it was well worth it.
Seeing the project completed was one of the most satisfying things they accomplished. On Sabbath they relaxed and worshipped in the newly roofed church. Leading out in the service, the seniors felt touched to be considered members of the church they had helped to build. They agreed it was no theme park, it was no luxury hotel and entertainment, it was no ordinary senior class trip...it was better!

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death in the U.S., taking the lives of more than 300,000 people each year. On average, this is more than the total amount for breast cancer, lung cancer, stroke, and HIV/AIDS combined.
During SCA, heart function ceases abruptly and without warning. In contrast, a heart attack, which is caused by "plumbing" problems, such) as a blocked artery, is customarily preceded by warning signs such as chest pain and other symptoms.
When SCA strikes, the heart is no longer able to pump blood to the rest of the body, and the victim loses consciousness, resulting in death more than 90% of cases. SCA is an "electrical" problem, whereby an arrhythmia prevents the heart from pumping blood to the brain and vital organs.
When SCA strikes, immediate defibrillation is the only reliable means of restoring the normal heart rhythm necessary for life. As survival rates drop precipitously after a victim's collapse, it is vital that this life-saving shock be delivered within 3 minutes or less. As such, the presence of an onsite AED along with a comprehensive emergency response plan is imperative to saving lives.
Every two minutes someone in the U.S. dies from SCA, which can strike anyone, anywhere, regardless of age.
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device used to administer an electric shock to the heart and restore the heart's normal rhythm. AEDs are very affordable and very easy to use. In addition, they incorporate a number of safety features that prevent misuse and ensure that a shock can only be delivered to a victim requiring it.
AEDs are more affordable than ever with units available for less than $1,200.
Smaller than a laptop computer, state-of-the art AEDs are lightweight and highly portable.
With features such as voice prompts and visual cues, AEDs are also extremely easy to use. In a study involving 8th grade students, more than 87 percent of participants were able to proficiently deploy an AED in a mock cardiac arrest scenario. Importantly, AEDs contain microprocessors that analyze the victim's heart rhythm and have safeguards embedded to prevent administration of a shock to a person that does not require one.
If AED programs are not properly designed and implemented, staff and others may not know how to properly respond in an emergency. Additionally, if programs are not maintained and documented, batteries and pads can cease to be effective, and organizations can face regulatory sanction and other penalties.
Each of the 50 states in the U.S. mandates usage of AEDs across various business classes; However, laws and requirements vary from state to state.
CardioReady is the only company using a patented process to offer turn-key Certified Cardiac Emergency Response Programs to organizations nationwide. CardioReady's life-saving solutions provide organizations with a comprehensive suite of services – starting with evaluation, procurement and installation through training, monitoring, and certification – that simplify and improve the process for rescue readiness and compliance. An effective CardioReady Cardiac Emergency Response Program can drastically reduce the devastating impact of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), the leading cause of death in the U.S.. Studies show that prompt defibrillation via an AED can increase survival rates from less than 8% to more than 70%. In addition to the obvious benefit of protecting and saving lives, CardioReady Certification and ongoing support improves risk management, promotes compliance with laws and regulations, enhances brand position, and boosts employee morale.
CardioReady deploys a highly-experienced, dedicated Medical Board representing the full spectrum of knowledge, capability, and experience required for cardiac emergency response and a nationwide support network of more than 1,500 professionals consisting of registered nurses, EMTs, paramedics, and other similarly skilled personnel. Additionally, we retain physicians to provide oversight for all customers with CardioReady Certification status. These strengths are complemented by a seasoned management team with vast experience in the risk management, services, and logistics industries
CardioReady's integrated solutions have two main components:
CardioReady Certification is a patented accreditation that affirms a location's capability and commitment to protect the lives of its customers, staff, and visitors.
Time is of the essence with SCA—minutes can literally mean the difference between life and death, as survival rates tend to plummet by approximately 10% each minute following a victim's collapse. With so much at stake, can you accept anything less than state-of-the-art best practice? CardioReady Certification is the seal of approval that ensures that your location meets the standards necessary to save lives, foster compliance with laws and regulations, and protect your organization's reputation.

Bridgepoint is one Europe's most respected private equity companies. Impressed by our work on the previous year's Annual Review, they commissioned us to create the 2015 version. Our goal was to show how Bridgepoint's small number of highly integrated, expert teams differentiated them from their competitors. This structure enabled them to connect ideas and capital in a way that builds stronger businesses with real potential for growth.
A fresh perspective
We wanted to give readers a new insight into Bridgepoint that was informative, inspiring and reassuring. Working with key individuals within the business we decided that the most effective way to meet this challenge was to build the Review around profiles of their six key areas of expertise – media and technology, consumer, healthcare, business services, financial services and manufacturing. Crucially, as well as profiling these six individual areas of expertise we would also show their close integration and shared purpose.
Eye-catching and appropriate
We made sure the document had a strong visual identity that would help it stand out in the conservative world of equity management. To achieve this we art directed top photographers Richard Moran and Lindsay Broadley during shoots at Bridgepoint's London and Paris offices, and commissioned illustrations in a bold, contemporary style that captured different aspects of Bridgepoint's business model. With a vibrant colour palette and carefully crafted copy, the final report felt more than the sum of its parts.
Not business as usual
Focusing on Bridgepoint's six areas of expertise was the key to the report's success. This approach gave us the opportunity to highlight both specific skills and the depth of their interconnection. Bridgepoint themselves are delighted with the result, particularly the fact that it presents them as an organisation that never settles for 'business as usual'.

It's decided. Time for a fresh start; but is your company ready for a new look? Maybe you have products that are not selling as well as they should be. Perhaps a change is long overdue. If this sounds familiar, it is probably time for some rebranding. Historically, rebranding has been very expensive, but giving your brand a new look can be easy and affordable. When you are ready to try new packaging, you can start by ordering smaller quantities as you try on new looks. A shorter run means less money, less storage space, and most importantly, less risk.
Even if your first try is a success, don't settle with that decision as there is always room for improvement. Find any mistakes that you have made or try something new. Change is very important and necessary to stay competitive. Map out new goals. Figure out what your time frame is and communicate it with your staff. Listen to what they have to say. Figure out what already works and find room for improvement. Change your way of thinking and change the way people think about your company.
Figure out what message you are trying to convey. What do you want others to associate with your company or product? What changes can be made to integrate this into your branding? Try new things. Don't do the same thing over and over again; take chances. If it seems scary, start by taking small steps and move forward from there. As you move forward, continue to do what is working and make changes along the way to find a solution for what isn't working. With FoldedColor helping you along the way, you can make your brand stand out.

Who would be the right type of person to talk to the court to about wanting to change the laws for adult guardianship?
It's county based in my state
This is coming from someone with developmental disabilities that is their own guardian, I vote, have a driver's license, and I have a job. I like to get political and stand up for people with disabilities. The disability I have is asperger syndrome. I see a lot of people with disabilities that I think should be their own guardian and I'd like to help themThis is what I think needs to change1. If someone with disabilities wants to be their own guardian I think they should at least be given a chance2. Their right to vote should not be touched at all period. Even if they don't know what voting is I still think they should have the right to vote.3. For Marriage I think one or two things needs to happen for them to get married, 1. The guardianship gets terminated or 2. The guardianship should have to be transferred to the spouse to be.

You don't seem to understand guardianship. You had your chance to be your own guardian. When you were "assigned" a guardian, it was decided and proven that you "needed" a guardian, that you could not handle things on your own. After that evidence was provided to the court, it was then decided that a guardian would be appointed. 1 and 2 will and should never happen. What does and should happen is the spouse should apply to be the guardian. Guardianships, like any court order DO NOT just terminate, nor should they automatically just be transferred to anyone. The system works well as is. You will not be successful trying to change it, for legal and other reasons. Voting - you would have to read the law on it and see WHY that right was taken away from the disabled. In fact, it was NOT taken away from the disabled. I know a disabled person and he has been voting for years.Source(s): Certified Paralegal, with 25+ years' experience.

Of course it's County based in Arizona. It's County based everywhere. One of my best friends is married to (and has 3 children with) a CPA who has asperger syndrome. His only difficulty is that he's very shy around people, tends to almost panicked if addressed directly. He "warms up" to people on his own timetable. He had NO special help in college, no special help in college. He works for a practice, makes VERY good money, has little client contact and does not need a guardian.
And then there's your question, your posted history.
I trust you want an honest answer. I've read your questions. You very obviously don't understand the how/why of guardianship. For starters, you are NOT "your own legal guardian." You are a person who doesn't have a legal guardian. For that matter, I don't have a legal guardian. Most adults don't have a legal guardian.
You insist on attempting this? RETAIN an attorney who specializes in disability law. In my area they are charging between $250 and $300 an hour.
Want to change things? Go to the Guardianship Hearings with the people who don't need guardians. Convince the Court - through EVIDENCE - that those people don't need a guardian. Agree that you will take any/all financial responsibility for anything untoward that those specific people do or say. Agree to do this outside the guardianship.
People ARE given a chance. It's called a "Guardianship Hearing." If the autistic person has a history of irresponsible actions, that's the testimony. In general autistic people have until they turn 18 and become a legal adult to PROVE that they don't need a guardian. It's too late to change history when they get to the hearing. A guardian isn't to punish the person. A guardian's JOB is to keep the person safe from fraud, misrepresentation, discrimination.
Even people who don't know what voting is should have the right to vote? That explains the state of Politics in the U.S. This comment isn't worth the time it would take to respond. For that matter, are you in favor of children voting? That's a thought. Still a Clinton fan?
Marriage is not legal grounds to end a guardianship. AGAIN, the person can very easily schedule a hearing to determine whether or not there is a continuing need for the guardianship. The person takes PROOF why he/she doesn't need a guardian. The Court may or may not agree. The guardianship CAN be "transferred" to the spouse to be. That's not an issue IF the spouse is a responsible person. In your world, what happens when one autistic person marries another autistic person? They become each other's guardians?
I would suggest that the "lot of people with disabilities that you think should be their own guardian" find another spokesperson. Why? Here's just some of your thinking: "what should I do if the car doesn't come back for an accident? I was just in an accident that was my fault and I waited for the person to return to the scene so I just left. and they didn't there was no damage to my vehicle. I waited for about 5 minutes for the person to come back. what should I do. should I contact the police? and show them the video on my dash cam"
Or how about - "Do you have to show proof of injury in an insurance claim? I'm in Arizona and when I was going to an event and stopped at a red light my foot slipped off the brake then I rear ended them at like 1 mph and they started faking their injuries no damage to either car not even a scratch or a mark, they called paramedics for their fake injuries. And a couple days later they made a claim with my insurance claiming their fake injuries, how can rear ending someone at 1 mph injure someone? I was not even sited because there was no damage. I know this is a common insurance scam"
A person who DOESN'T need a guardian knows the law when there's an accident

Assuming this is a state law you would have to get at least one of your state representatives to introduce a bill to change the law. That would probably take years. If a court can make a reasonable case that a law is illegal in some way they can attempt to nullify or modify the law. A court, however, does not otherwise have the authority to change a law.

Why I am grateful?
The theme of All-Staff Retreat is "With Grateful Hearts," so the songs and speakers have focused on being people filled with gratitude. It's been fun to spend some concentrated time focused on one topic, but I'm glad I'm not the last speaker who has to find a fresh angle! 🙂
Yesterday, I came to a realization in the middle of the song (appropriately titled) "Give Thanks."
And now let the weak say, "I am strong."
Let the poor say, "I am rich"
Because of what the Lord has done for us.
Give thanks.
Why am I grateful? Generally, I think about being grateful because of some good thing that has happened- something that aligns well with the way I think the world should operate. And that's all well and good, until things don't go my way. This song (and correct me if I'm wrong) seems to be saying that in the midst of the bad- the weakness, the poverty- we can give thanks, because of what God has done for us. It reminds me of Romans 4:18-20, which basically says that Abraham and Sarah's chances of having a son were about 0%, but Abraham was strong in faith anyway, "giving glory to God" (vs. 20).
There must be something beyond good circumstances, then, as a basis for gratitude, if we are to give thanks in everything (1 Thessalonians 5:18), and I think it just might be not only what God has done for us, but also who He is. We could say, "Thank You that You are my strength when I am weak" and "Thank You for the hospitality of the Hendersons because You are the ultimate welcome to those who are alone" and "Thank You for that fun conversation on educational theory because You are the source and giver of all truth as well as the great teacher."
So that's my goal- to build a habit of being thankful both for what God does but also the way the little things show Who He is. If you try it out, let me know how it goes! I'm having a lot of fun!
"Thank You, Lord, that You are creative and give me fresh ways to worship You. Thank You that all joy and delight are ultimately found in You."

Singapore — Russian Sibanthracite Group is looking to replace Australian coal as it boosts its export infrastructure to meet growing coal demand inAsia, an executive said Friday.
That came as the world's largest anthracite coal exporter finalized details to construct a new 15-km Severomuysky-2 railway tunnel withUS-based builder The Robbins Company.
It will be the second tunnel on the 4,264 km-long Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) railway, which travels from Taishet in Eastern Siberia to Vanino in Russian Far East where it links to the Asian markets.
"Asia is our key market and we see a steady increase in demand for Russian metallurgical coals and anthracite to replace Australia's coals," Cory Bougoure, CEO of Sibanthracite Overseas Pte, told S&P Global Platts.
"We should also take into account the logistic proximity of Russia [to Asia] as a supplier of these metallurgical coals," Bougoure said.
The main demand for Sibanthracite products, he noted, is concentrated in Asia, with its key markets in China, India, Korea, Japan and other countries in Southeast Asia.
However, logistic restrictions on cargo delivery including railway and port capacity at the Far East have been limiting the volume of the company's exports, Bougoure said.
The existing Severomuysky-1 tunnel has an annual throughput limited to 16 million mt which Sibanthracite Group said it takes up much ofit.
That capacity was insufficient to meet growing demand for its anthracite in the Asia, the company said. With the construction of the new tunnel, annual freight volume will see an increase from the current 16 million mt to 100 million mt, it said.
The $1 billion project is scheduled to start late in 2020, and was expected to be completed by the end of 2024, Bougoure said.
Sibanthracite produced around 23 million mt of coal annually, of which 15 million mt is anthracite, with the rest include PCI and thermal-type coal, said Bougoure.
Meanwhile, major spot market buyer China has increased its imports of Russia's metallurgical coal.
From January-September, China imported 4.34 million mt of coking coal from Russia, up 17% year on year, according to China customs statistics.
Russian coal accounted for 7% of China's imports over January-September, compared with Australia and Mongolia which each accounted for 45%.
However, India has seen a surge this year in Russian pulverized coal injection as steelmakers look to lower their cost of production, sources said.
According to India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry, India imported 2 million mt of Russian PCI from January-August, up 94% year on year.

All Informations About Luxury Cars
Cool and vibrant Barcelona, Spain's second city, has such a wealth of attractions that it's small wonder it has become Europe's most popular short break destination, and a common stop for Mediterranean cruise-liners.
Barcelona is also the heart and business/commercial sector of the popular holiday coastal region known as the Costa Brava, the northernmost Mediterranean seafront in Spain, as well as the Costa Dorada to the south.
This coast area is lined with popular resort towns, many retaining their traditional charm. The capital of Catalonia is unequivocally a Mediterranean city, not only because of its geographic location but also and above all because of its history, tradition and cultural influences.
The documented history of the city dates back to the founding of a Roman colony on its soil in the second century B.C. Modern Barcelona experienced spectacular growth and economic revival at the onset of industrialization during the second half of the 19th century. T
Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate, with sub-mediterranean influence. Thus, it is not the "classical Mediterranean climate" with mild, humid winters and warm, dry summers.
Barcelona is located on the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, so Atlantic west winds often arrive in Barcelona with low humidity, producing no rain. The proximity of the Atlantic, its latitude, and the relief, are the reasons why the summers are not as dry as in most other Mediterranean Basin locations.
In a privileged position on the northeastern coast of the Iberian peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean, Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain in both size and population. It is also the capital of Catalonia, 1 of the 17 Autonomous Communities that make up Spain.
Barcelona has seven beaches, totalling 4.5 km (2.8 mi) of coastline. Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches, both 1,100 m (3,610 ft) in length, are the largest, oldest and the most frequented beaches in Barcelona.
The Olympic port separates them from the other city beaches: Nova Icària, Bogatell, Mar Bella, Nova Mar Bella and Llevant. These beaches (ranging from 400 to 640 m/1,300 to 2,100 ft) were opened as a result of the city restructuring to host the 1992 Summer Olympics, when a great number of industrial buildings were demolished.
Barcelona contains 68 municipal parks, divided into 12 historic parks, 5 thematic (botanical) parks, 45 urban parks and 6 forest parks.They range from vest-pocket parks to large recreation areas. The urban parks alone cover 10% of the city (549.7 ha/1,358.3 acres).The total park surface grows about 10 ha (25 acres) per year, with a proportion of 18.1 square metres (195 sq ft) of park area per inhabitant. The old city is a twisting maze of narrow streets and ancient mansions, overlooked by the soaring spires of the flamboyant Gothic cathedral. Beyond it sprawls the elegant grid of the 19th-century new city, thickly clustered with the greatest concentration of Modernist monuments in the world.

Introducing for the very first time: a larger sized Dapper Notes notebook. You've all requested it (like, a lot), so I made a small run of bigger notebooks as part of the Live Dapper collection. They're sized 5.5 x 8.0 inches (roughly A5), and have 64 pages inside.
This edition contains: A screen printed pattern on the outside, bright red inside, 64 dot grid pages on 70lb smooth white, and a white thread finish.
See the full Live Dapper collection
Edition fray:
Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use.
Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you guage how much fraying to expect from your notebook.
