Scripture Reading: Luke 22:24-27
One of the reasons the quest to be a leader is on the increase is to the satisfaction of the human being to be seen as great, to be on top, and to exert authority. In other words, the one who will dictate what will happen and what will not happen. It was this aspiration that the Lord had to dissuade among the disciples, thereby teaching us what leadership should be among the children of God. He therefore clearly pointed out the difference between leadership in a Christian society and leadership in the civil society. This is the reason the Lord faulted the request made by the mother of James and John in Mathew 20:20. Jesus admonished His disciples not to bring in secular leadership methods into the Christian parlance. Secular leadership has its characteristics, and when applied in the spiritual environment, will suffocate the mission of the gospel.
Below are some analyses of the two styles of leadership: In a secular leadership, leaders try to gain influence through the use of power. They are influential because they possess power. But in spiritual leadership, leaders became influential by showing love to the people of God. In Philippians 2:6-11, Jesus became the greatest by dying to redeem us from sin. Spiritual leadership builds confidence by depending on God. They realized that they can only attain such position through God's help and not by their personal ability to compete and win. And so they will always consult God. Secular leaders lord it over the people they lead. They always intimidate the people with rights and position. But in the spiritual leadership style, authority is attained by serving. This is why Jesus taught His disciples that greatness is attained by the ability to serve. This is the reason Pope Francis always stresses the spirit of servant-hood whenever he speaks to spiritual leaders. Spiritual leadership ensures the development of the people to greatness. Jesus transformed the lives of mere fishermen into great preachers and speakers of God's word. But the secular leader uses the people to achieve his own goal; they are treated as slaves. The vision that drives the secular leadership style is temporal benefits, while the spiritual leadership is driven by eternal gain. Spiritual leadership measures success by doing what the Lord has asked and not by any human estimation of success. Our Lord Jesus was honoured by the Father because He did the will of the Father. Spiritual leadership style is like that of a caring father, whereas in the secular leadership style is bossy.
Beloved in Christ, Our Lord Jesus Christ took the pains to explain leadership styles to his disciples and advised them in Verse 26 not to allow secular leadership to exist among them. Quite disturbing, the struggles, the conflicts, the misunderstandings and the superiority spirit in the Christian leadership style today shows that we have not taken the advice given by our Lord. The Lord is inviting us today to adopt spiritual leadership styles in our Christian gatherings, homes, churches, and wherever we find ourselves as Christians. Remember, the Lord is willing to work with only those who have the servant attitude because they recognize that it is God that is in charge.
Prayer Points:
- Thank God for today's reflection.
- Pray for all those who are battling for superiority and causing disharmony in the body of Christ that their steps would be ordered by the Lord.
- Pray for all leaders of the world that they may adopt Jesus' leadership style.
Exercise: Access your leadership styles and make amends where it is contrary to the expectations of the Lord.
Memory Verse: John 13:5.

Lindsay Lohan Hospitalized
The actress suffers an asthma attack while in Miami for New Year's
Jeff Vespa/WireImage
Lindsay Lohan was admitted to a Miami hospital Monday night after suffering a severe asthma attack and is now "resting comfortably," a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE.
The Mean Girls star celebrated New Year's Eve in Miami, hosting a party at Prive Nightclub.
Lohan, 19, is set to begin shooting her new film, Chapter 27, in two weeks. The movie, about John Lennon's killer Mark David Chapman, stars Lohan as a Lennon fan who befriends Chapman (played by Lohan's once-rumored beau, Jared Leto) just days before he assassinates the musician in New York.

There is no class around it to simply hide it so it is kinda forced to show them.
Am I missing a setting here or does everybody wants the dots?

DCS will be presenting their plant level solution of QDM SPC Software at booth 334 at the BIG Manufacturing Convergeance June 2nd through the 4th at Cobo Center, Detroit, MI, USA.Will you be in Detroit this June? If so, you should come to Cobo Center and found out today's manufacturers address the issues of global manufacturing enterprises and reduced cycle times.
Advanced Manufacturing Solutions. Building the Future NOW.

- Find emerging technologies and process improvement solutions
- Learn key trends and new applications from industry experts
- Build the future through networking and student engagement
DCS will be showcasing QDM Plant Level SPC Software
Three Levels to Fit Your Company
QDM is a modular system that can be implemented at three distinct levels in an organization. The system can be scaled with additional modules as the organization's need grows.
At the Inspection Labe/Measurement Cell Level
At the basic level, QDM Analyst provides translators for mining and producing quality reports utilizing CAD graphics. This graphical reporting puts the information into decision making context, giving engineers and manufacturing professionals the ability to quickly understand production issues and the means to solve them.
At the Plant Level
At the plant level, QDM Plant Based System builds upon QDM Analyst to interconnect the manufacturing lines. The system allows for a graphical user interface at the shop floor data collection points to capture part by part inspection data entry, and automates the data processing of any inline or CMM results. This gives plant managers the ability to set up real time stations with graphics, giving the plant floor second by second understanding of product quality, while also providing QDM Analyst based reports and metrics. Utilizing the QDM System's web based drill downs and root causing analytics lets Quality Managers dive deep into their data and find the information they need for continuous quality improvement and to validate lean manufacturing processes. In addition, with a few clicks, professionals can create reports from any set of data to see how specific machines, locations or shifts are performing, or to drill down into issues to identify problems.
Enterprise Level - Multiple Plants or Sites
Connecting plants together forms the Enterprise Level of QDM Systems. This level leverages multiple QDM Plant Based Systems with a web based method of interfacing the manufacturing information across multiple plants and global locations. Through the QDM WEB module, executives, plant managers, and engineers can all monitor product quality through dashboards that track inspection data analytics at the part, assembly, plant and enterprise level.
The latest version of the QDM System makes interconnecting an organization easy, and provides the means of connecting engineering and manufacturing through feedback loops throughout the product life cycle. The system allows different levels of users to mine for any shop floor data and create decision making reports with a few button clicks. This communication utilizes quality information as the standard language, helping engineers continually improve the product design while empowering manufacturing to identify the source of problems to quickly fix and resolve them. By implementing a QDM System within current processes and systems, companies can leverage the cost reductions in scrap and rework without changing their standard processes and current systems.
Through the use of QDM, major manufacturers across the world are gaining clear insight into their production, identifying and solving issues faster and more efficiently while improving process comprehension across the organization.
Come Chat with Us at Booth 334
Join DCS at booth 334 at this year's Big M Convergence conference to find out if QDM can help your organization increase insight into its manufacturing quality. Need passes? DCS has free passes to the event (a $75 value). Just Contact Us to get the code by phone or email.
Learn more about DCS's plant solution by joining the free webinar shortly before the event on May 28th, 2015. The webinar will walk through a virtual plant floor, highlighting how QDM modules can be interconnected to form a complete system.

Pink Poodle - Rapidshare Executor
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
5 .0
Pink Poodle 0.1 "Rapidshare Executor"
(c)2008 Dennis Nikomanis
License GPL Version 2 or later
Pink Poodle "Rapidshare Executer"
is a tool to manage recursive multifile/splitted RAR-archives
which contain videofiles from rapidshare or any other downloadsite.
It unrars the selected archive, checks if it contains
further RAR-files and unpacks them as well.
If the archive contains a video, the file will be
renamed to a chosen filename and is then moved to your primary videofolder.
If there are two or more videofiles in the archive
"Pink Poodle" creates a specified moviefolder and places the files inside.
Optionally it deletes the unpacked archives, if you don't need them anymore.
So you either have a single videofile in your primary videofolder,
or if there is more than one file, have them moved to a new moviefolder.
This makes it easy to keep track of your downloaded videos,
manage them on an internal or external HDD and to ditch your
dispensable files.
"Pink Poodle" has an deletion-routine and is an early alpha,
so NEVER have important documents or files in the sourcefolder
or in the destinationfolder. This is serious. Really.
Pink Poodle 0.1 is a test-version of the comming version.
The comming version will have a GUI as well and will be configurable.
This Version of Pink Poodle only works for Avi-files!
You must configure it by editing the .sh-file, where you have
to enter the correct path of your Movie directory.
Expl.: /media/myhdd/mymovies/ poodle.sh /media/HDD1/Downloads/dr-house-xvid.part1.rar password "Dr House Season 1" Episode1
This will recursively unrar dr-house-xvid.part1.rar
Then a Folder named "Dr House Season 1" will be created on your specified location
and the extracted files will be moved into that folder.
Finaly the file will be renamed to "Episode1".

Height: 188cm
Weight: 84kg
Position: HBF/Wing
Potential: 6-7.5/10
Style like: Jason Gram
> Provides very good run and drive off half back – only decent pace off the mark at best, but seems to have good pace over distance and is a hard runner with an excellent engine – loves to carry the ball in straight lines over distance off HB
> Good attack on the and strength over the ball and whilst his style is primarily an outside runner – he will put his head over the ball and win contested footy when it's his turn
> Reads the play very effectively across half back in a sweeping role and is a good all-round ball winner with 20dpg at U18 Championships level
> Strong OH mark and doesn't mind going back with the flight
> Doesn't have great awareness when running with the footy and is prone to getting run down by quicker players
> Hands can be very inconsistent at ground level – prone to the fumbles too often
> Offers little defensive pressure
> Very lean and powerful build
> Decent ball user by foot that is capable of very good depth, needs to improve reliability, but I don't think he is as bad as his reputation suggests
> Reach disadvantage for his height
> Played in 2 U18 Championships series and has senior experience in the TSFL – could potentially play AFL next year with good form at stage league level as he is physically ready
Davies is a very capable rebounding half back prospect, but needs to work on improving his ball handling, awareness with the ball and developing a more rounded game defensively. He should at least be a serviceable back up/emergency player for his team as I'd expect him to be a very strong performer at VFL/SANFL/WAFL, at best he could be a solid half back rebounding defender. I'd expect him to go in or beyond the 3rd round.

And...I saw...the art supply store. I love it. I have been going to a succession of craft stores, which, while not to denegrate crafts in any way, just ain't the same. An art supply store, for example, has illo board. And gouache. And paintbrushes that are not endorsed by Bob Ross. And racks of paper handmade from mulberry pulp chewed by Tibetan virgins and impregnated (the paper, not the virgins) with ginko fibers and red thread or whatever. And books on making egg tempera (not that I plan to, but it's nice to have options.) And the aisles of canvas, the glorious aisles! Aeeeiii!
Also, has anyone ever tried watercolor on gesso? According to one of the guys at the store, if you lay down two or three coats of gesso, you can actually watercolor on the surface. Seemed crazy to me, but I'm willing to try it--the notion of being able to watercolor on Masonite or canvas made my heart sieze up, so I may experiment.

More competition should be good for wind power. After all, the industry has not fared well in most of the world's traditional power markets, dominated as they are by monopoly suppliers who are resentful of the competition. Moreover, wind energy is proving popular with many consumers who for the first time will be able to choose their electricity supplier. And even in pure economic terms-without accounting for wind's environmental savings-wind is broadly competitive with fossil fuel plants.
But creating a strong, stable market for wind power is far more complex and difficult than most policy makers seem to realise. Many policy documents, including the recent Working Paper of the European Union (Windpower Monthly, May 1999), underestimate the challenge in translating binding targets or goals for renewable energy into stable markets that will allow the kind of steady growth, ease of financing, and reinvestment of profits that are needed to make the new industry thrive.
Simply throwing the wind industry onto the "free" market without first removing a thicket of obstacles that currently exist could well lead to a setback rather than the great leap forward that so many hope for. Even at $2.5 billion a year, the wind industry is hardly a global business. In fact, it barely exists in most countries-including many of those with the greatest potential. It is only by addressing the myriad details required to make monopoly power markets open and competitive that policy makers will find workable strategies for integrating wind power into increasingly competitive but still diverse turn-of-the-century electricity markets.
Understanding markets
No matter how low its cost, wind power does not integrate easily into electricity markets that were designed with large suppliers and baseload thermal plants in mind. One hurdle is that when compared to combined-cycle gas plants-the current industry favourite-wind projects cost four times as much per annual kilowatt hour to build, which means that even if all else is equal, the developer has far more capital at risk.
In addition, wind power has the disadvantage of being intermittent, which raises thorny questions of grid access and pricing-problems that are magnified in the minds of utility engineers who are educated in the norms of large baseload plants, and tend to spurn generators that are not "dispatchable." These barriers are compounded by the fact that wind technology is still in its early adolescence. Although reliability has steadily improved, the current generation of machines only has a few years or less of operating experience, which makes investment financially risky for owners and lenders.
Moreover, the scale of wind technology is one for which today's power markets are poorly structured. With individual modules generally sized at 500-1500 kilowatts, wind plants can be installed at a wide variety of sizes, with only modest cost advantages in building larger installations. In recent years, most wind projects have ranged from 1 MW-30 MW in size, compared to the 50-500 MW that is typical for combined cycle projects. Electricity lenders are accustomed to the larger projects, and generally charge much higher interest rates for smaller ones. The experience of the home mortgage industry shows that it is possible to have simple, low cost financing for investments under $1 million, but a large organised market is needed.
The potentially small scale of individual wind projects is particularly important in the initial stages of market development, as the experience of Denmark and Germany shows. With early costs and risks being high, investors prefer to start with small projects rather than large ones. But the market conditions established by government policy in some countries, such as the UK, have precluded the orderly development of a first generation of small projects, which may be the main reason so few countries have a market today.
The wind industry is changing with the entry of large conglomerates such as Enron and Babcock Borsig, but the relatively small scale of most wind energy companies is another unique feature of the industry and arguably one of its chief advantages. Smaller firms are generally more entrepreneurial and innovative-the personal computer revolution would not have occurred had it been left to IBM-but small companies have their own vulnerabilities as well. They lack deep financial pockets, and can be quickly driven out of business if markets dry up or they have to wait long periods due to regulatory delays or difficulties in financing. Renewable energy policies that shift wildly-as in the United States-and those that make it hard for small firms to compete-as in the UK-often lead to early and frequent bankruptcies.
Despite expansive hopes for a liberalised free market in electricity and the work devoted to bringing it about, most governments are on a pace of reform that will not yield a truly open market for many years. Some barriers are relatively obvious-discriminatory pricing and unnecessary interconnection requirements, for example-but many are subtle or deeply rooted, such as the historic subsidies that have put existing baseload coal and nuclear plants in position to dominate electricity markets for decades into the future. The vested interest of the traditional power suppliers in keeping these barriers in place will inevitably delay their removal.
Lessons of the nineties
As governments in Europe and around the world look to build a legal regime that will support rapid development of wind power within the context of increasingly competitive power markets, they will need to understand the reasons that certain policies have worked well for wind power while others have not. The "electricity feed laws" introduced to stimulate a market for renewable energy, now in effect in Germany and Spain and previously in California and Denmark, have played a role in over 80% of the global wind capacity installed to date. These laws are often characterised by their system of premium prices, but they have structural characteristics quite apart from their price levels that have proved supportive of wind energy.
In Denmark and Germany, standardised interconnection requirements for renewables and stable prices have minimised transaction costs and lead times and allowed developers to easily and quickly obtain bank loans without spending years seeking a power purchase contract. This has made it easy to develop small projects and has lowered the risk to the small and medium sized firms and small investors that have dominated the industry to date. The electricity feed law (EFL) system has also been easy to integrate with a systematic planning permission process, in part because it reduces the number of variables the developers must face.
The German EFL is criticised for its failure to push wind energy prices down when advances in wind technology have cut the cost of wind power. This portrayal of a lazy, subsidy cuddled industry does not hold up under close scrutiny, in part because it fails to distinguish the impact on developers from that on manufacturers. A recent study by the Institute for Solar Energy Technology in Kassel shows that the German market is characterised by vigorous competition among manufacturers who must compete for wind contracts from developers. As a result, the cost of wind turbines has fallen steadily in Germany since the early 1990s-though not as much as in other countries (Windpower Monthly, April 1997). This is in part because federal and state subsidies have been reduced or eliminated in the last five years, even as the feed law price has fallen to DEM 0.16/kWh.
The German EFL not only created the largest wind power market so far-over one-third of the world total in the late 1990s-but it also stimulated a burst of entrepreneurialism and a market place that is far more diverse than the rest of the German power industry. Wind power in Germany is a dynamic and rapidly evolving industry, with a wide variety of business structures and financing mechanisms-unusual in a country where it is sometimes said that the most a German Bill Gates could hope for is to become a mid-level engineer at Siemens. Other countries have benefited from the German wind locomotive, which has allowed manufacturers throughout Europe to move further down the learning curve, and improved the economics of wind technology globally.
In Spain, a similar law, enacted in 1994, has resulted in a similar rapid market take-off, but with a very different market structure. The Spanish wind industry is characterised by hybrid public/private development companies with strong links to the utilities, and indigenous manufacturers that build factories in each region with a sizeable wind market. The market is not a particularly competitive one, but it has given the wind industry another strong economic and political base-one that is fuelling steady advances in the technology. If it weren't for its local roots-and jobs-it is unlikely the Spanish industry would ever have got off the ground.
Fixed supply quotas
The other main approach to creating a market for renewables in the last decade is the quota model developed in the UK. Under the Non Fossil Fuel Obligation (NFFO), introduced in the early 1990s, regional power suppliers are required to buy fixed amounts of renewable energy. The contracts for this supply are allocated via an auction that is administered by a government regulator. The premium payments to the generator are funded by a fossil fuel levy that is paid by all electricity users.
The UK's NFFO has led so far to a series of five competitive auctions. The prices of the winning bids have steadily fallen, but less than one-third of the winning wind projects-just 334 megawatts-have actually been installed. This is just one-tenth the pace of development in Germany, not terribly impressive given that the UK has Europe's richest wind resource. Efforts to fine tune the auction system have so far had little effect-just 10 MW of wind were added in 1998. The meagre market has meant tough sledding for the British wind industry, and has driven most of its manufacturers out of business.
Studies by Catherine Mitchell of Sussex University in England show that the NFFO's failure is linked to fundamental structural flaws. The UK auctions, carried out by the government on behalf of the regional suppliers, have turned into complex and lengthy processes with high transaction costs that largely preclude small projects. In addition, the peaks and lulls in wind energy development that result from the UK's periodic auctions have led to tight bottlenecks and managerial problems both for public officials and private companies. Finally, price competition has led wind developers to site their projects where the wind resource is best, on prominent hills and in scenic coastal areas where local opposition has prevented two-thirds of the projects that received contracts from being installed.
Even the main achievement claimed for Britain's NFFO-pushing down wind's prices-is said to be partly a function of gamesmanship by developers working to beat their competitors by low-balling their bids. Since the UK market has represented only 4% of the world market during the 1990s, it has done little to spur either R&D or scaled-up factories, the two main drivers of cost declines. To the extent that the UK's "virtual" prices reflect falling costs, those cost declines are in part a function of the booming wind markets in continental Europe, which are advancing the technology being deployed in the UK.
Which way forward?
Given the steady improvement of renewable energy technologies-and the rapid evolution of electricity markets-it is probably safe to say that none of the support systems in place today will continue unchanged for many years to come. The most immediate challenge is to reconcile the desire to increase competition in electricity markets with governmental commitments to dramatically increase renewable energy deployment in the next decade.
Analysts and policy makers around the world seem to agree that such goals-including the deployment of 40,000 MW of wind in the EU by 2010-will require government subsidies. This is true less because of renewables' lack of competitiveness against new fossil fuel generators, but because of the heavy subsidies that are embedded in existing fossil and nuclear plants. These generators, whose construction debts have already been paid, could go on producing pollution laden electricity at two to three cents a kilowatt hour for decades-unless there is some incentive to replace them. The challenge is to establish large, sustained markets for renewable energy, minimise the subsidies required, and limit the distortions to the competitive market place.
One approach to this dilemma is a new generation of policy being pursued both in Europe and North America. The governments of Denmark and the Netherlands, as well as several US state governments (page 35), have recently adopted or are considering a modification of the UK's fixed quota system: obliging electricity suppliers to include a certain amount of renewable energy in their supply portfolios, but allowing those obligations to be traded among the suppliers. This is the approach being taken by some of the states adopting "renewable portfolio standards" in the United States, as well as the European nations adopting "green certificate systems." Both are intended to create open, vigorous markets in green electricity, markets that are not controlled by monopoly power suppliers. The hope is that such a system will create an active secondary market and commodity exchange for green power.
How well these systems will work is uncertain. None have been in place long, nor have any yet created a significant wind power market. In principle, tradable obligations have many appealing characteristics, but new policy mechanisms rarely work as perfectly as planned. The relatively small number of prospective buyers in such a market, particularly in the early stages, could make it easy to manipulate. And given the tendency of commodity markets to swing wildly up and down, the lack of stability might make it difficult for small wind companies to survive or expand. These new systems will almost certainly require careful regulation-and repeated fine tuning-if they are to work effectively.
Having expanded fivefold in the last decade, wind markets are clearly ready to step up to a new level. But renewable energy policy making is unfortunately nowhere near as mature as the technology is. Some of the most popular policy options are largely untested, while those that have worked best so far are under attack for their incompatibility with competitive markets. And in far too many countries, including the US, the wind "market" still consists of one-off pilot projects and government mandates that do not provide the industry with long term stability.
Given this state of affairs, it would be naive to lay out a detailed global blueprint for the next generation of renewable energy policy. Governments that have not yet succeeded in creating sustained markets should be encouraged to try new policies. Those that do have functioning markets in place should reform their policy frameworks with care. The danger is that pursuit of free market purism will kill off the handful of thriving wind power markets before it is clear that policy makers have proved that a new approach will work. To navigate this minefield, some basic principles are needed.
Some guiding principles
¥ -----Regardless of the broad support system chosen, the devil is in the details. These details must be accounted for if the system is to work. For a start, standardised interconnection requirements must be established by regulators and enforced; planning and siting laws are needed so that projects are not considered on a piecemeal basis. Tax laws should be adjusted to encourage renewables-allowing rapid depreciation and reasonable credits.
¥-----One-size-fits-all approaches are premature. Different countries have very different electricity markets, industry structures, governmental capabilities, and levels of experience with renewable energy. A policy that works well in a country with an existing vigorous wind market or a strong economy might work poorly in a country that is starting from scratch with a weak regulatory system. It is notable that the United States, which has had a federal government for over two centuries and has recently opened the wholesale power market to competition, still allows-indeed encourages-individual states to promote renewables in their own way.
¥ -----Efforts to create a truly competitive market in renewable energy will have to be accompanied by disclosure requirements that ensure that all electricity suppliers inform consumers of the source of their power and the emissions that flow from it, as experience in several US states has shown. Without such requirements-perhaps via the kind of tagging system that has been agreed to by several US states-renewable power will be unable to fully distinguish itself from its more polluting competitors.
¥ -----Feed laws should not be abandoned until some other policy system has proven itself. As a study for the World Bank concluded last year, the feed law approach-which allows for easy market entry-may be most needed in the majority of countries that do not yet have a wind power industry and may find it difficult to start one without a system that allows easy market entry, with minimal bureaucracy and low transaction costs. By starting small, as a feed law allows, the wind power industry will be able to establish local economic and political roots, which have been key to the industry's entry into new markets in the last decade.
¥ -----Countries with feed laws should be encouraged to make them more responsive to market prices, however, perhaps by periodically adjusting them with reference to the wholesale cost of conventional generation, plus both the value of the small generator to the local distribution system and the avoided environmental externality costs. Alternatively, it might make sense to base a feed law price for small renewable projects on the auction prices for recently installed large scale renewables, plus a small premium to reflect distributed value. To minimise distortion of the larger electricity market, the renewables premium could be financed from a non-discriminatory levy on all electricity consumers, as the recent EU working paper suggests.
¥ -----It is time to move forward aggressively with the renewable portfolio standards and green certificate systems that have been adopted so far-and be prepared to modify them if they do not work. Countries that have chosen this route will need to work hard to ensure the systems are as efficient and non-bureaucratic as possible. It is essential that the market be truly competitive-large numbers of buyers and sellers-and that long term contracts be offered on a regular basis. It may also be necessary to segment the quotas, dependent on technology and scale, as regulators in California and the UK are now considering. If purchasing obligations are to be effective, and electricity distributors are to be motivated to make the systems work, steep financial penalties will need to be levied on those who do not come through.
¥-----Some governments may want to consider a hybrid approach: adopt auctions or renewable certificates for projects above a certain size, but allow access to the grid at a standard price for smaller projects that cannot afford delays or high transaction costs. Most governments will be pushed to develop such a system anyway-for the new class of micro-generators like fuel cells and micro-turbines that will enter the market in a big way in the next few years. These generate power economically at scales as small as 10 kW or less and will need some kind of standard pricing system that reflects their additional value in the low-voltage distribution system. It would make little sense to keep renewables out of such a system.
In light of these complexities and the many details that must still be dealt with, the decision of the EU Energy Council on May 11 to take a cautious and flexible approach to a Directive for a single market for renewables in the EU is laudable. Given the dynamic pace of change, and the many uncertainties ahead, strength will come from continued experimentation and diversity. Competition among policy makers may lead to as much progress in the wind industry as competition among manufacturers already has.

Charitable Trust fund raising
The Charitable Trust set up to help Members young and old when they face a period of financial or other difficulty continues to build its capital reserves but, with investment returns still being at modest levels, the fund could always do with more contributions.
The 200 Club is one way of painlessly supporting the work of the Trustees - who provide practical help as well as cash when appropriate; shares are only £10 a year for a chance to win a cash prize twice a year and a number of Members of the Guild have recently recently subscribed to shares, providing a welcome income boost.
In the most recent draw, announced at the Harvest Lunch, Godfrey Brown (former agricultural correspondent of The Telegraph and David Kelsey, whose family supplies the produce for the Harvest Service display, each won £50; retired journalist Denis Frost netted £100, and AgriTrade editor Jamie Day took the top prize of £250.
Read more about the Trust towards the foot of this eAlert or visit the web page.
Sales of raffle tickets at the Harvest Lunch in September also gave the Charitable Trust fund a boost, thanks to the generosity of those who donated prizes and those who dipped into their pockets to buy tickets. Find out who donated and won what in News on the Guild website, where there is also an account of Olivia and Liam Cooper's visit to the Goodwood Festival of Speed having succesfully bid for tickets kindly donated by New Holland Agriculture.
A celebration of livestock
Members of the Guild who enjoyed the new Celebration of British Livestock at Christmas event last year will be pleased to know it is being repeated. This year's celebration is being held on Thursday, December 8, and includes a service of thanks at St Brides Church, Fleet Street, followed by a champagne reception and lunch at the Livery Hall of the Stationers Company nearby.
Last year, two Shorthorn heifers blessed by the Dean of St Paul's were paraded from the cathedral to Fleet Street, much to the intrigue and delight of Londoners!
Event organiser, Howard Venters, a Member of the Guild, says this year's charitable celebration will support the London City Farms; read articles in Sheep Breeder about their work here. Howard emphasises that anyone with a connection to the livestock industry – agri-politicians, auctioneers, trade suppliers, press and, of course, farmers and producers - are welcome to attend. See the booking form here.
Register for IFAJ Congress 2017 - South Africa!
Registration has opened for next year's World congress of agricultural journalists and communicators: IFAJ Congress 2017 - South Africa. Reduced fees are available on bookings made by January 15.
As anyone who attended the Guild-hosted congress in Scotland or any past congresses overseas, these gatherings of more than 200 members of agri journalists clubs, associations and Guilds provide a wonderful experience to learn about farming and rural enterprise in a foreign land while having a great time with fellow writers and photographers from around the World.
As usual, there are add-on programmes both before and after the main Congress. The optional pre-Congress tour from March 29 to April 1 takes in the Kruger National Park; the Congress programme starting in Pretoria runs from April 2-7, ending in Cape Town with tours of the Western Cape; and the optional post-Congress programme on April 8-11 is in KwaZulu-Natal, Namibia and Zambia.
The Congress is three nights longer than usual to provide extra value to members travelling long distances; the fee includes all accommodation and the one-way air fare to Cape Town.
Watch the launch movie here and then visit IFAJ Congress 2017 website for programme details and registration. Speak to the Guild's IFAJ representative Jane Craigie or chairman Ben Briggs for advice on how to get the best from a Congress experience.
IFAJ/Alltech Young Leaders Award
Members of the Guild aged 35 or less can apply for one of 10 scholarships worth €1000 plus cost of travel support from the Guild to attend IFAJ Congress 2016 in South Africa and the IFAJ/Alltech Young Leaders Award boot-camp that precedes it. Read the experiences of past winners in the Congress reports here and the booklet written by 2015 award winners - including the Guild's Ben Pike - here.
To be considered as the Guild's nominee for the award, Under 35 Members need to email Guild secretary Nikki Robertson setting out ambitions for their career and involvement in the Guild, and how they think the personal development Boot Camp and this year's congress might help achieve them.
"While the Alltech award is about personal development of the individual, the key element for the judges is assessing how a winner might use what they learn from the Boot Camp and Congress to contribute to the future development of their home Guild," says Jane Craigie, the Guild's IFAJ representative. "I'm happy to explain to any interested candidates what the judges might be looking for and therefore how the applications might be pitched."

Spotlight on Matcha, the Multitasking Beauty Tea
As a non–coffee drinker, matcha is a big part of my daily routine. To be honest, I'm fairly obsessed with this specially grown and processed form of green tea. I've long been aware of its many rumored health benefits—fighting cancer and burning fat among them. But because there is always something new to learn, I turned to the knowledgeable founders of natural beauty destination CAP Beauty, Kerilynn Pamer and Cindy DiPrima, to glean more about the tea's many powers.
Like me, Kerilynn and Cindy love the flavor of matcha. It's also their go-to ingredient for its many external and internal properties. When used on the skin, matcha is very detoxifying and provides high quantities of vitamin C and chlorophyll, which means lots of antioxidants. Its rich levels of chlorophyll are also a benefit when ingested, along with l-theanine, an amino acid that increases happiness and joy. Drinking or eating it also helps you focus, get an energy boost and a major dose of antioxidants.
The CAP women feel so strongly about matcha, they now source and import their own from Japan with the goal of adding more radiance-promoting foods to their line. They shared a delicious hot matcha tea recipe that features their USDA Organic Certified powder, below. My favorite holistic nutritionist, Elissa Goodman, also passed along instructions to make her fantastic matcha latte, which kills cravings and powers the brain for the day. I've also included the recipe for Sweet Laurel's incredible matcha sandwich cookies. Be careful, they're addictive. XXJKE

More information about poster awards for EB 2021 will be available in late fall 2020.
Poster awards are offered for outstanding poster presentations by undergraduates, graduate and post-baccalaureate students, and postdoctoral scientists attending the ASPET Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology 2020. The goal of the ASPET Student-Postdoc Poster Competition is to showcase and recognize the highest quality scientific work submitted by ASPET's young scientist members. Awards are offered both by ASPET divisions and by the Mentoring and Career Development committee (Dolores C. Shockley poster award for underrepresented groups). Awards include cash prizes; the value of awards varies by category (see "Prizes" below). Qualified individuals from any division may also be eligible to apply for the Dolores C. Shockley poster award for underrepresented groups. For additional information, please view the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section below.
Selected individuals will be asked to present their research at the ASPET Student/Postdoc Poster Competition that takes place on Sunday evening, April 5, 2020. If selected, you will be contacted with additional details about the competition schedule and poster requirements. Please note that the ASPET Student/Postdoc Poster Competition is a separate event and is not the same as the general EB poster sessions on the exhibit hall floor. You will need to transport your own poster between events.
Applications are now closed. Applications were due by the extended early abstract deadline of 12 PM PST on Monday, November 18, 2019.
The following prizes will be offered by each division, with the same structure for the Dolores C. Shockley competition:
Q: Does submitting to the poster competition automatically enter me for a travel award?
A: No, you must apply separately for a travel award. Please visit the travel awards webpage for more details.
Q: When will I find out if I have been accepted to compete for a poster award?
A: Notifications will be sent out in time to take advantage of the early registration deadline, which falls on February 5, 2020 for EB 2020.

A: No; only abstracts submitted by the extended early deadline of 12 PM PST November 18, 2019 are eligible.
Q: I was accepted to compete, but I can no longer attend the meeting. Can another author give the presentation for me?
A: No author substitutions are allowed. If you are unable to attend the meeting, your entry will be withdrawn from the competition.
Q: I am required to display my poster in the EB exhibit hall. Does presenting at the poster competition satisfy this requirement?
A: No, you must present your poster in the EB exhibit hall at your assigned time in addition to competing at the ASPET Student-Postdoc Poster Competition.
Q: How will my poster be judged?
A: Please see the Poster Competition Judging Form (PDF) for details.
Q: If I have won a cash prize, when can I expect to receive it?

Ask Sheila
Sheila will try to answer as many of your English Social Care questions as possible, giving priority to frequently asked questions and questions regarding current events and trends.

- Ask Sheila
- Can we use a CRB from another home?
Can we use a CRB from another home?
Should a person with a two-month-old CRB check, done by another home, be sufficient to employ that person whilst we await another CRB check (bearing in mind that it is only two months old)?
Many thanks,
Dear Vishnu,
Thank you for your question.
Enquiries are always more complex than about almost anything else related to Adult Social Care but there are a number of useful pieces of advice on the internet.
The first is guidance on CQC's own website, page 22 of the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks (formerly criminal record (CRB) and barring checks) says:
"31. Can DBS checks be used for more than one job application? (this is sometimes referred to as portability)
Depending on their role and activities, new entrants to the workforce in services regulated by CQC are expected to obtain a new DBS check where eligible.
People taking up a new position who are currently working in services regulated by CQC can satisfy the expectation that they will have an appropriate DBS check if they can provide evidence of a check, at the right level for their role, that is less than three months old at the point of application.
People supplied by an employment agency can satisfy the expectation that they will have an appropriate DBS check if they can provide evidence of a check, at the right level for their role, that is less than 12 months old.
The portability section of the DBS page on the gov.uk website describes some of the risks and limitations of portability.
Where people take up a new role or go to a new location but stay with the same employer with no break in service, a new DBS check is not necessary provided that a check has previously been obtained at the appropriate level. Some examples where this applies include:
- A care assistant employed by a large corporate provider moves from working in care home A to care home B.
- A consultant with practising privileges who has been checked to work in independent hospital A also starts working in hospital B, which is part of the same group of hospitals owned by the organisation running hospital A.
The DBS will launch the Update Service on 17 June 2013. The Update Service will allow the applicant (the person who the check is about) to apply for a DBS check only once and then, if they subsequently need a further check of the same type, to use their existing certificate. To do this, the applicant would have to subscribe to the Update Service and pay an annual subscription fee. The organisation employing them would, with the person's consent, be able to check online to see if the information on their certificate was still up to date. The intention is to avoid many repeat applications. See the DBS section of the gov.uk website for further details."
Additionally, there is a great deal of further information on the Government's website relating to DBS checks and the update service which you need to combine with the CQC information when deciding whether or not to apply for another CRB check.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes.

I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list. – Susan Sontag
Operation: Stay Healthy While Traveling
Origin: San Francisco, California
Destination: Paris, France
Logistics: 10 days of Travel, 11 hour flight x 2
Limitations: 26 lbs of weight (carry-on + personal item) + possible exposure to germs, definite stomach bloat (due to vacation eating), dehydration due to possible alcohol consumption, crying babies on airplanes and poor airport/airline food
Traveling makes my spirit come alive, however it is not always glamourous. Long flights, cramped seats, delayed flights and the possibility of sickness or hunger pains can truly be a test to an individuals will and immune system. Add on the fact that airport regulations charge for baggage now and limit your personal space. Yes, this doesn't sound glamorous, but with a little bit of preparation and forethought you can actually have an easy-breezy, tip-top travel experience. It simply takes packing key snacks, products and supplements, plus a few beauty essentials to make traveling a healthy experience.
Airport Travel Tip 1: Did you know that you can opt out of going through the x-ray scanner, due to heavy radiation exposure. You can instead request to have a "pat-down" by a TSA member. You can request a female, as well as a private room if you don't feel comfortable being checked in public.
What's in my Carry-On?
The below non-toxic products are the ones I take every time I travel. Each one serves a purpose and together they make life so much more effortless and comforting. They keep my immune system in check, as well as my sanity. If I were to choose just one of these products, I would definitely go with the Digest Gold Probiotic. Not only has this supplement saved me from a mess of a bloat and upset stomach, but it has also saved my travel companions one or more times as well.
Germ-Free Essentials
- EO Organic Essential Oils Hand Sanitizing Wipes: French Lavender – These wipes are perfect to use when you are not near a restroom to wash your hands.
- EO Organic Essential Oils Hand sanitizing Spray: French Lavender – This spray smells amazing and it is the perfect non-toxic solution for keeping germs at bay.
- Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castille Soap Travel Size – I don't like to use public restroom soaps because they are full of toxic chemicals and dry out my hands. I like to carry this non-toxic (environment-friendly), moisturizing all-purpose soap.
- Immune Strength Essential Oil Blend – An essential oil blend that wards off germs. This is also my go-to during cold/flu season. Learn how to make your own here. *Check out "Best Essential Oils & How to Use Them" for more details on the medicinal benefits of essential oils.
Key Supplements & Teas
- Enzymedica Digest Gold + Probiotics – Works miracles on digestion & stomach aches! Plus, it's packed with digestive enzymes to help you break down heavy food.
- Traditional Medicinals Tea: Nettle, Dandelion, Ginger and Echinacea – Nettle & Dandelion detox the liver. Drink these the morning after consuming alcohol. Ginger is great for an upset stomach or indigestion. Echinacea boosts the immune system and helps ward off cold and flu symptoms.
- Country Life Activated Charcoal – Great to have on hand in case of food poisoning. If food poisoning is suspect, take immediately. Apple cider vinegar also works.
- Amazing Grass Original Greens Powder Packets – A green smoothie on the go! Simply mix with water and have before breakfast to keep your energy high.
- Ester C or Mega Food Daily C- Protect Powder – Vitamin C keeps your immune system revving and balanced even when you're not traveling. It's a must!
- Olive Leaf or Oil of Oregano – If I suspect I caught a bug on the airplane or feel sluggish/cold-like symptoms, I take 1 of these 3x day to ward off viruses/bacteria.
- Now Foods Melatonin 3 mg – Got to get my beauty sleep…if I don't sleep, you don't want to be around me. I take this if I'm really sleep deprived or can't fall asleep. Another alternative is ashwagandha or passionflower tea before bed.
Airport Travel Tip 2: Put all your supplements into space saving pill dividers, so you don't waste precious packing space by bringing the bottles.
Healthy Hangry Snacks
- Health Warrior Pumpkin Seed Bars or Nakd Bars – Airport food is not at all healthy! It's so easy to succumb to junk when there is nothing else to eat. I prevent hunger pains and falling prey to unhealthy food by packing delicious, satisfying snacks.
- Once Again Nut Butter Packets or Artisana Nut Butter – Nut butters are full of healthy protein and fat, plus they keep you satisfied for longer periods of time.
- Dried Dates or Prunes – If you are like me, it's hard to go when traveling…you know what I mean;D With the lack of fruit and veg (healthy fiber) + stress, this combination is a disaster for your digestion. Packing dates or prunes is the remedy.
- Brazil Nuts or Pistachios – Full of healthy protein and fat, Brazil nuts keep you satiated. Because they are full of selenium and chromium, they also promote weight loss, so you won't feel as bad consuming a bit more pleasure food/drink — like wine!
Beauty, Body Care & Rest Essentials
- Suntegrity Moisturizing Face Sunscreen & Primer – This sunscreen is the best! I have sensitive skin and it doesn't break me out. It's also a moisturizer + primer.
- Living Libations Best Skin Ever or Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Oil – I can't live without these oils! They have improved my skin + acne scars tremendously. When I travel my skin tends to get dry and breakout. The key ingredient – sea buckthorn – takes care of both these issues and makes my skin glow!
- Evian Mineral Water Facial Spray Travel Duo – Hydration, hydration! It is so important to drink lots of water when traveling. To keep my skin extra hydrated and set my makeup, I use this H2O spray that is the perfect size for carry-on!
- Alba Botanica Soothing Sunscreen spf 45 – It's important to wear sunscreen when outside for long periods of time. However, many sunscreens are destroying our coral reefs, so make sure your sunscreen is free of oxybenzone and octinoxate.
- Dr. Bronner's All-One Toothpaste – This company is just amazing! I use all of their products including, liquid soap, bar soap, toothpaste and their hand sanitizer.
- Tea Tree Therapy Tea Tree Oil – Tea tree oil is so multi-purpose, it takes care of everything–acne flair ups, mosquito bites, weird fungal/wart issues, dandruff, etc.
- Ear Plugs and Sleeping Mask – Trying to sleep on a plane is rough. Blocking out noise and darkening your environment is super helpful when you need Zzz's!
Airport Travel Tip 3: Bring your own empty glass or stainless steel water bottle and fill it up with hot water at an airport cafe. Add your own organic teas or greens powder to your water for extra immune support and hydration on the plane.

I have just run Cricut Sync and have been told that my Expressions 2 is up to date. Where can I find a description of the updates? That is, what can the Expressions 2 do now that it couldn't do before?
The company doesn't provide changelogs or how people call them as updates descriptions. This is a personal preference and sometimes it's not available due to security, a custom habit or something else. If you want to know about the changelogs for a certain version, then you need to contact the developers of the application, because they should provide additional information about it.

Question: I love your column and read it every day. I think you would have made a great replacement for Craig Kilborn. I would love to see you do an "Entertainment News" section on the TV Guide Channel. Any chance of that happening? Lian
Ausiello: Officially, I have no comment. Off the record, I can say that "there have been some very preliminary discussions." But please, don't quote me on that. And if you do, please attribute it to "a source close to TV Guide."
