|Over 450 people celebrated Christ's victory with us on Easter Sunday…God be praised!
First of all, I want to thank all of you who gave special gifts to help me and Sarah get away last week to attend my "Renewed in Grace" 10 year retreat in San Antonio. Your gifts of love enabled us to really enjoy this special time away. And your generosity also allowed us to be generous in picking up the tab for a couple meals we enjoyed with friends on the Riverwalk in between study sessions where we grew together in God's grace through studying Scripture together. We spoke highly of you and your very evident love for your pastor and his family!
All in all, despite Sarah and I both getting the respiratory version of influenza while down there, it was really great to get away and reconnect with classmates I haven't seen in almost a decade—friends from all over the country and beyond. It's amazing that this year marks ten years for me being a pastor, but by God's grace I pray He'll supply me with the strength to carry on for the next ten. God knows how much I need it because the number of new people the last couple weeks to follow up with is incredible!
In recounting among friends and former classmates the joys and sorrows of a decade of ministry, I was keenly reminded just how much credit and praise belongs to God for all the blessings I have experienced here as the pastor of our church—Victory of the Lamb. Our church is so special and unique. I'm also reminded of something I read a couple years ago: "We tend to overestimate what we can accomplish in a year, but we tend to underestimate what God can accomplish through us in ten." To God be the glory!
There are a lot of new ministry opportunities coming up soon so please see below and check them out! I also look forward to continuing our "Greatness" series this coming Sunday based on Romans 8 and our gracious God. And as always, everyone is invited to join us for worship Sunday morning whether at 9 or 10:45. Victory Kids during both.

Update on The Climate Corp and its open platform, invites more apps
Feb. 7, 2018
"There is not one silver bullet when it comes to data," Climate's CTO Mark Young told AgFunderNews in August of 2016. "We need a network of providers to provide value to farmers."
Climate has now recruited at least 19 providers for its platform, FieldView. By capturing and centralizing agtech providers' data and imagery, FieldView offers farmers a way to access important information resources and subscribe to providers' services. The decision to make the platform open, Young explains, was not only part of an effort to bring more value to customers, but also to move the digital ag space forward.
"It's for other innovators in the space to have a cheaper path to market and accelerate their ability to take their innovation to market," Young says.
It is also meant to get rid of redundancies and save time and money in keeping startups from reinventing the wheel, he adds. "We all end up spending money to build the same stuff - accounting and cloud and apps and ground support and how to get paid...," said Young.
The FieldView platform now has more than 100,000 users, though Climate would not disclose how many of these are paying customers. The company beat its target of 25 million paid acres in 2017, reporting 35 million paid acres - that's more than double the 14 million logged in 2016. Young attributes FieldView's recent growth at least partially to the platform model.
"A lot of it has to do with the success of the tool, the expansion of compatibility, and the results that our customers are seeing," he says. "Then as we add additional platform partners, the value proposition becomes that much stronger."
Though the open platform strategy originally drew comparison's to Apple's iTunes, Young explains that integrating new partners is "higher touch" than Apple's platform in practice.
The original plan was "a self-service portal and well-defined APIs enabling developers to sign up and get a developer key to build products for the platform," and for the most part, this is the reality. Climate says that developers do request and receive API keys, but the process could not yet be described as "self-service."
Several Climate partners affirm that the vetting process to sell through the platform is extensive and revenue sharing is agreed on a case by case basis.
Young says the platform gives startups an opportunity to test their technologies and figure out what works in the market while working with Climate to find a revenue-sharing model that makes sense for both parties. "We have to make our partners successful. Locking them into a business model is premature," he explains.
Platform Life
For the startups partnering with Climate, the value of the new model has varied based on the starting position and goals of each company.
Agribotix, which joined FieldView in May last year, is a drone-based agricultural intelligence company whose information supports cost efficiency and crop performance. In its early days, the company spent a lot of time and resources figuring out its own business model, particularly its approach to acquiring new customers. Agribotix's vice president of sales Jason Barton says the company "reinvented the wheel" a lot, by developing its own user interface to integrate data from various sources and services, for example. But, the company soon realized it would be more successful by focusing on its core technology and prioritizing compatibility with other platforms that could introduce the company to new users. Now, Agribotix is integrated with John Deere's Operation Center platform and Climate's FieldView.
While these platforms also include competitors of Agribotix, Barton says there is more value in being part of a space where customers can compare services than trying to go it alone when it comes to customer acquisition. "If we're fighting each other for the 10% of the market that has adopted this technology we're doing ourselves a disservice," he says.
Other partners on the platform agree. "We have direct competitors on the platform and obviously selfishly, we would love to be the one that everyone uses," says Ashwin Madgavkar, CEO of aerial imagery startup Ceres Imaging. "The reality is that there is education and important differentiation between imagery options. Having multiple options on the platform is good in that it allows a constructive discussion around the pros and cons as to what is the best solution."
What FieldView doesn't include is services that compete with Climate's own services. Though Young says these may become available on the platform one day.
"We've got a fertility modeling solution-imagine if a third party developed a nitrate modeling system that was better than ours. It makes sense to have that on our platform," says Young, allowing Climate to then share in the success of its competition.
Gaining Ground
While it is still early days for the open platform strategy, FieldView is already delivering value to its partners on multiple levels. Better visibility has made it easier for Ceres to enter new markets and develop retailer relationships, for example.
"A platform like Climate or other data platforms alone aren't enough when it comes to distribution. Also integral are the retailers that have the last mile relationship with the farmers," he explains. There is, therefore, a huge opportunity in getting relevant information on their services into the hands of retailers.
The retail market is highly fragmented and difficult to develop exclusive relationships with, Madgavkar says. Integrated data platforms reduce companies' barriers to developing those relationships.
Madgavkar adds that both retailers and end-users are more receptive to an all-inclusive solution like an integrated platform, rather than buying imagery and analytics services piecemeal.
For Terravion, an aerial imagery provider focused on plant health and irrigation, the decision to join FieldView was more about pleasing existing customers than acquiring new ones for this reason.
"We don't benefit directly from being a Climate platform partner. We are a partner of Climate Corp because our retail partners and growers want access to the Climate record keeping and analytics with the best in class imagery that we provide as an integrated solution," says Terravion's CEO Robert Morris.
Being part of an integrated data platform like Climate's FieldView also enables surprise discoveries about doing business in agtech. For Agribotix, one of those was discovering new geographic possibilities.
Last year, Climate expanded into Germany, France, and Ukraine, through its acquisition of Vital Fields, and into Western Canada and Brazil. This expansion presented Agribotix with an opportunity to do a pilot program in Brazil, which would introduce Agribotix to a new market on a manageable scale.
"Its probably not quite ready for us, but it's getting closer and having Climate do this pilot with us gives those growers a really good end to end look at the technology" in a market that would otherwise be difficult to navigate on its own, Barton says.
Foward Thinking
What does Climate's platform strategy mean for the future distribution of ag data and imagery? The model is the first sign that the marketplace will likely have both platforms offering fewer, exclusive data partnerships and platforms looking to be all-encompassing home for farm data with a broader, non-exclusive offering.
"We think all ag platforms should be open," Terravion's Morris says. "We promise our growers and agronomists that they can process the data we provide on any platform. We believe open platform approaches like Climate's are the future."
Other leading agronomic software companies that want to win in the 21st century are adopting similar open approaches, he adds.
But there are scenarios where exclusivity is valuable for both the platform and the data provider. AgFunder co-founder Rob LeClerc cautions against predicting whether open or exclusive data strategies will win out because both have value, depending on the goals and position individual partners.
"I'm not sure we can make generalizations," he says. "In some cases, exclusive partnerships give the stability to invest in more innovation, and the platform may be able to deliver a better product. But, exclusivity can also drive an insurgency of competitors who take a more open-platform approach. In the long run, open platforms tend to outcompete closed platforms because they can be more adaptive."
When Climate announced the new platform model in 2016 the company made it clear that it would take years for the concept to reach its final form. As competitors choose between open and closed platforms, the ag data distribution landscape is likely to go through many permutations as digital ag players work to convert the majority of farmers still not using digital ag tools.
"Every technology adoption curve look similar. As we work our way up that distribution curve, we're starting to get into the fat part of technology adoption," said Young who added that he believes agtech has reached beyond early-adopters at this point.

July 17, 2015 - Logicalis Healthcare Solutions, the healthcare-focused arm of Logicalis US, announced formation of a strategic partnership with Ascendian Healthcare Consulting, specializing in medical imaging. Together, the two companies will combine their talents and resources to help healthcare information technology (IT) professionals tackle medical imaging obstacles.
Medical imaging is complex, largely unmanaged, and a hurdle healthcare chief information officers (CIOs) are often unprepared to tackle, yet it plays a pivotal role in the well-being of each patient's diagnosis as well as both short- and long-term care. The challenge is that tremendous numbers of clinical images are captured by a wide array of disparate devices, and many are shared in unpredictable and often unsecured ways throughout a spectrum of specialties within the medical field. Even when these invaluable diagnostic images are appropriately captured within a patient's electronic health record (EHR), they are rarely organized in such a way that physicians can quickly locate the information they need when they need it most.
"We need to get to a place in medicine where HIT is regularly helping physicians make clinical decisions," said Kim Garriott, principal consultant, healthcare strategies for Logicalis Healthcare Solutions. "Today's physicians have to sort through all of the clinical content in a patient's EHR simply to find the information they need. By creating a thoughtful approach to acquiring, storing and surfacing medical images, we can envision a future where, based on the patient's clinical history, the specialty of the provider, and the physician's past behavior, we will be able to predict which imaging studies and lab reports a physician will need to review and present a package of pertinent information to the physician upon entering the patient's room.
She continued, "It's not just about the technology, though. It's also about the clinician's workflow; if it's difficult or time-consuming for physicians to locate the relevant images, they may not use them or, at best, they will be very frustrated. It has to be intuitive and work well within the flow of their day and the amount of time they dedicate to each patient to be meaningful and useful in the clinical setting."
"To healthcare CIOs, medical imaging is just something that should work," said Shawn McKenzie, Ascendian's president and CEO. "It's not something the IT team wants to deal with because it's complex and requires an array of specialized skill sets. This isn't just about radiology or cardiology – imaging is about anything that produces a diagnostic object which means the amount of images being collected is staggering. Savvy healthcare CIOs know they're going to be held accountable for managing this mountain of information, and many have begun to recognize the pain points – they've seen the writing on the proverbial hospital wall. This is real. Medical imaging is the next big summit that healthcare IT professionals will absolutely have to scale, and it's not something they can afford to overlook any longer."
According to both organizations, there are seven reasons healthcare CIOs avoid thinking about medical imaging:
- Imaging's complexity is often misunderstood: Imaging is far more than pictures created by radiology or cardiology; there are a host of other image-producing service lines that significantly raise the bar in gathering, storing, securing, and providing efficient access to these images in both a patient-centric and physician-approved way.
- Imaging has its own language: Even the most sophisticated healthcare IT organizations often find themselves lacking the right skill sets to develop and execute a pervasive imaging strategy. Turning to outside experts is not only prudent, but could save millions of dollars in the long run by avoiding costly mistakes.
- Imaging requires a strategy: Imaging is not a one-time project. It is an enduring effort that will be part of the continuum of care on an everyday basis from here forward. If you haven't started, you're behind. You need a well-thought-out imaging strategy, and the one you implement must both optimize your patients' electronic health records and enable your physicians' workflow today and tomorrow.
- Disparate storage must be minimized: Do you have a legacy picture archiving and communication system (PACS)? A vendor-neutral archive (VNA)? What model best suits your organization – as well as those you share patient files with? While minimizing disparate storage systems will help solve interoperability issues internally, it is also crucial to consider how you will effectively, efficiently and safely move images between your organization and external agencies.
- Imaging requires security: Doctors and patients alike are accustomed to using the technology they have in their hands. Patients are increasingly texting images to doctors via their smartphones, for example, widening the potential for security vulnerabilities as these communications grow. Nonetheless, medical images, acquired via any means, must be routed to the appropriate patient files and protected according to regulatory guidelines.
- Today's plan must include tomorrow's mergers and acquisitions (M&As): Astute healthcare CIOs know their organization is likely to grow both organically and through mergers or acquisitions, something that has to be taken into account when planning an imaging strategy. If M&A activity is a likelihood, a phased approach may be the best way to introduce an imaging strategy throughout the enterprise.
- HIEs require regional participation: If you need to demonstrate value in the health information exchange (HIE) space, you'll need a strategy that incorporates workflows at the regional level where you are exchanging information.

The Quik-Trip convenience store that was looted and burned just hours after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown Jr. in Ferguson will soon be repurposed as a job training center, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The now-charred structure, a daily reminder of the frustration of a community that endured decades of racially biased policing, will be demolished and replaced with a training center for young black men — an effort brought forth by the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis.
On Friday, the Urban League said the center would be "an important extension of its services in North County to further the League's mission of empowering communities and changing lives."
The center will "expand the Urban League's work to broaden access to education/job training, employment and economic self-reliance for residents of the St. Louis metro area," the League said in a news release.
The changes to build a "community empowerment center" will be made possible by several donors, according to the Post-Dispatch. The location will now house the Save Our Sons program — a program created to give 500 young and underemployed men a month of training before matching them with jobs. Following the shooting of Brown, St. Louis area companies contributed $1.2 million to the effort.
From the Post-Dispatch:
As part of the program announcement two months ago, two St. Louis companies — which want to remain anonymous — have promised to hire the first 40 graduates at jobs paying $10 an hour plus benefits. The Save Our Sons program, or SOS, teaches interview skills, how to impress a boss with good work and how to network to find the next job.
Specifics about the QuikTrip's positive rebirth are expected to be released during a press conference Monday. We'll keep you updated with the latest.

3 Excellent Reasons To Purchase A Park Model Home
A park model home is a small home that has most, if not all, of the features of a regular home. There are a lot of benefits that come along with purchasing park models and this article is going to discuss 3 of these reasons in more detail.
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of purchasing a park model home is the fact that it is going to be mobile. Much like an RV, a park model home can be pulled behind a truck from one location to the next. You will simply need to load the model home onto the back of the correct size of trailer and pull it to wherever you'd like to go. This is excellent if you would like a place to call your own, but don't want to be confined to a single area. The model home will have all of the basic things that you need inside of it, and can be hooked up to certain generators and outlets to get the power that you need in order for the home to function properly for you. Something to also keep in mind is that the home can also be placed in a permanent location, if that is what you would like.
Another great reason to purchase a park model home is the fact that it is so affordable. Many people want to get a home, but they don't want to commit to the cost of one. This is understandable, especially since by the time the property is purchased and the home is built, the cost is going to be quite high, no matter where it is that you live. Many people are also quite happy to live in a smaller home, and they see the freedom of doing so. Having more less funds tied into a home can help you feel less stressed about your income, and happier with life overall.
Just like with any other type of home, you can customize your park model home. This is going to include everything from the type of siding you want on the exterior to the type of wood that you would like to use for the cabinets in your kitchen. For example, if you want a park model home that is going to be a small cabin up in the mountains for you, then you can have it created from logs and then add the interior features like wood floors.

Breaking News: Mass Graves of Indigenous Women and Children uncovered in British Columbia; United Nations asked to send Peacekeepers and Forensic Specialists as Trudeau and other leaders summoned to appear before Genocide Tribunal
The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC)
Established on January 1, 2016 under the Law of Nations
Mass Graves of Indigenous Women and Children uncovered in British Columbia;
United Nations asked to send Peacekeepers and Forensic Specialists as Trudeau and other
leaders summoned to appear before Genocide Tribunal
Tuesday June 25, 2019
Vancouver, New York City
Investigators on Canada's west coast have uncovered the suspected mass graves of indigenous women and children at three separate locations. This announcement came today after months of independent investigations conducted by the ITDC that have relied on police, media and aboriginal sources.
According to the report of the ITDC investigators,
"The grave sites are found on the coast and in the interior. According to sources and our initial surveys, these sites contain the remains of many hundreds, perhaps thousands of aboriginal people, including many women and children. One of these sites contains very recent burials laid atop an older mass grave of Indian residential school children. These sites have been known to local aboriginals but the latter have been threatened and silenced by the RCMP and tribal council officials. Local residents claim that RCMP officers and private 'hit squads' are responsible for the killings and burials. One witness observed an RCMP tactical unit burying bodies as recently as late March, 2019."
In response to this discovery, at 10:00 am eastern time today a formal request was issued to the United Nations Security Council and to the UN Peacekeepers Office by the ITDC. That request asked for UN Peacekeepers and Forensic Specialists to be immediately dispatched to British Columbia to assist this investigation and to be present at an International Genocide Tribunal convened under ITDC auspices in Vancouver on September 16, 2019.
Prime Minister Trudeau and twenty other high officials of church, state and business have been publicly summoned to appear before this Tribunal to answer charges of complicity in Genocide. (see attachment)
The September 16 Tribunal was prompted by Prime Minister Trudeau's public admission on June 3 that genocide has occurred within Canada, and by the corollary obligation imposed on UN member states by the Genocide Convention to "prosecute and punish" that crime.
"Our request for UN Peacekeepers and Forensic Specialists is not made lightly, especially in the light of the discovery of these mass graves. They need to be disinterred and examined and charges brought against those responsible, like at any suspected crime scene" said ITDC Field Secretary Kevin Annett today.
Annett continued, "This is a dangerous effort. Seven of our aboriginal eyewitnesses and activists have died of foul play in the course of our investigations of the disappearance of aboriginal families on Canada's west coast. As Human Rights Watch has shown, the RCMP are directly implicated in these assaults and disappearances. Our naming of top Canadian officials as possible co-conspirators in an ongoing genocide makes this danger all the more real."
Further evidence of the recently discovered mass graves will be revealed at a special press conference and gathering on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada on Monday, July 8 at 10 am. The ITDC has asked that UN Peacekeepers be present at this event to protect its public spokespeople, including ITDC Field Secretary Kevin Annett.
Annett has recently faced illegal arrest and detention, and other harassment, at the hands of the RCMP and Canadian Border Services Agency. The ITDC considers these attacks as further attempts by Canada to obstruct justice and derail an international human rights inquiry into its crimes.

Sirc 32 virus
Aha, that explains you other question. NetWare 3.12 may look like "DOS" based, but if you map a drive to it (map g:=sys:) you can then scan that drive from your Win9x client, using any recent virus scanner.
Careful though, as far as I know SirCam (others may have to correct me on this), it indeed puts itself in Windows, and only damages files on other shares, or tries to put rubbish there. As far as I know it does not infect network files as such.
Sirc 32 virus
The recycle folder is on your Windows machine, not the NetWare server. The cheapest way to get rid of the virus is to download the free DOS-based AV program from F-Prot. It works very well. You can also follow the directions available at McAfee.com to manually remove it. But it is not a server issue.

Teenage acne in girls: drug treatment and folk remedies
Good appearance in puberty can mess up teenage acne. Their appearance is quite expected, as there is a change of a hormonal background of an organism. You need to consider why there are teenage acne girls treatment all features and prevention methods.

Alyson Stoner's Emotional Coming Out Essay Will Fill You With Admiration For The Singer
In a touching essay penned for Teen Vogue, former Disney star Alyson Stoner came out, and her words will make you so emotional. Many of us who lived and breathed pop culture circa the early 2000s mostly remember Stoner as the preteen girl who stole the show in most of Missy Elliott's videos. But the 24-year-old actor and dancer recently opened up about her personal life in a very powerful way. In her honest and moving piece that was originally published by Teen Vogue on Friday, the actor discusses the first time she fell in love with a woman and the years she spent struggling to come to terms with her sexuality.
Stoner begins her essay by recounting that her first encounter with the woman in question was at a dance workshop. She wrote,
"There she was, wearing loose jeans and a backward snapback. She flipped and rolled her body around with adventure and total abandon. As a Type A perfectionist, I was mesmerized and intimidated."
She continues,
"After I dizzied myself from doing knee spins, she walked toward me to correct my form. My heart raced wildly and my body grew hot. Was I nervous to fail in front of an expert? Was I breathing heavily from being out of shape? Her smile was the most electrifying thing I'd ever seen.
"I left the workshop and texted my mother and best friend, saying, 'I met a woman today, I'm not sure who she is or what I'm feeling, but I think she's going to be in my life for a very long time.'"
From there, Stoner explains how her relationship with the instructor, who remains unnamed throughout the entire essay, evolved. The Step Up star mentions that she recognized early on that the bond they had "didn't feel quite sisterly or platonic." The two grew closer to each other through texting and talking on the phone, but their relationship later became physical after they began spending time with one another.
She wrote, "She and I continued to hang out and began sending good morning texts. Then we made dinner and watched Orange Is the New Black. Then we vented and supported each other. Then cuddled. Then kissed and kissed some more. OK, we were in a relationship. I fell in love with a woman."
Still, despite having an attraction to her, Stoner revealed that she spent years attempting to fight the feelings that she had for her instructor due to her faith.
"I pursued physical relationships with men to convince myself that my love for her was just a spiritual battle attacking my character and discernment," she explained. Stoner also mentions that, at one point, some of her friends in the industry tried to discourage her from coming out, warning her that her decision to do so could end up having a negative effect on her career. She wrote,
"Some people in the industry warned me that I'd ruin my career, miss out on possible jobs, and potentially put my life in danger if I ever came out. My dream and all I'd worked tirelessly for since the age of 6 was suddenly at risk by my being... true to myself."
As she struggled with her identity, the woman she fell for acted as a constant source of strength and encouragement, eventually helping her come to terms with her identity. She doesn't put a label on her identity, but she does make clear that gender isn't what attracts her.
I, Alyson, am attracted to men, women, and people who identify in other ways. I can love people of every gender identity and expression. It is the soul that captivates me. It is the love we can build and the goodness we can contribute to the world by supporting each other's best journeys.
Stoner's coming out essay appears to go hand in hand with the release or her newest single, "When It's Right." The song is, as Stoner describes it in her essay, "the first painting of a vivid new world I now call home."
"When It's Right" is currently available to stream on Spotify.

I just received my Permanent Resident Visa! Arriving Thanksgiving Monday!
I was able to complete the process at INM in Zihuatanejo when I was there this past June.
It took less than one week- maybe because it was low season and few people were applying for residency.
The Immigration Officer was quite helpful.
Congratulations and Good Luck!

America's Cup: Late but worth the wait
Published on May 20th, 2019
Terry Hutchinson, skipper of New York Yacht Club's team that's challenging for the 36th America's Cup, has been patient. The plan was for American Magic to launch their first AC75 by the first date permitted, March 31st. That was Plan A. So much for Plan A.
What's missing has been the bird-like foil arms that are being supplied by the Defender and Challenger of Record to all the teams. There are a number of one design parts for the 36th edition, and the foil system was among the list, but problems have slowed the delivery. Scuttlebutt editor Craig Leweck checks in with Terry for an update:
Providing one-design parts is meant to save time and money, right?
It is an effort to do that. Certainly with the development of the control system for the foil arm, and for the actual arm itself, it's definitely an effort towards trying to equalize gear and to help reduce some of the cost. It's a complex piece of equipment and what they are doing is not easy, so from our perspective, it's one less thing we have to focus on.
But that has to make this delay frustrating when it is out of your control. What has been the problem?
When they tested the arms back in the early fall, they didn't meet the safe working load requirement – they failed well before it. So the good news is how there was a process in place. It's great that there was suitable representation from all the teams, that nothing got by that wasn't safe.
If you look at it in the glass-half-full manner, which we do, safety is a big one, so they did the right thing and they hit the big red button and stopped the production and everybody got involved to work through the problem for a good solution.
When did you know plan A wasn't going to work?
This was September 2018, and the news was not a complete shocker. As time played on and things were being designed and built, and the foil arms were progressing, the original production and original engineering that was taken on was quite complex and complicated.
We have in our team Silvio Arrivabene and Kurt Jordan who basically did that type of design and construction for Alinghi. They knew the pitfalls of what was being proposed, they thought it was aggressive, they thought it was hard, and that potentially a more conservative approach would be better for the execution.
However, providing these one design parts is not our responsibility and we only gave feedback when asked. Fast forward to where we are sitting here today. We didn't plan for the delay to happen. We had nothing to do with it, but the fact that it did, it is what it is from our perspective.
Jumping up and down and yelling and screaming about it isn't going to change anything, so why even bother? It's a little bit like the class rule. We didn't really have a part in it when the rule was written and so all we have is the document. Instead of being focused on the pitfalls of it, we're focused on dealing with it. Again, it is what it is, so just proceed and do the best job that we possibly can, because all the teams are in the same spot.
Did this allow allow you to pull the handbrake on construction and commit more time toward design? Or were you already too far down the pike at that point?
For us to meet the March 31st launch date, at least in a hull perspective, we had to submit things earlier rather than later. So when we submitted our hull drawings, we made that decision six weeks before the foil alarms were actually tested. The time we had to get that boat designed and built was really tight, but we were always proceeding knowing that the first boat was not going to be our final race boat. The plan was always to build a second boat.
Were you able to benefit at all from the delay?
We haven't been sitting still. We've been able to dedicate this energy elsewhere, which has allowed us to be a bit more methodical with the structure and systems.
With the changes they've made to the approved foil arms, does that impact anything that you've got to do to the hull to strengthen or redesign certain areas?
There has been some changes on the attachments inside the hull, but nothing we couldn't adapt to. The weight has changed, so the class rule has been updated. Again, it's one of those things that we try not to get too fussed about it because it's out of our control. Our only move is to take what we're given.
The foil arms are an immensely vital piece of equipment. Was there ever a time when it was considered to delay the regatta?
Never, but I know there were people on the outside ranting about this possibility, but they were peddling opinion from a position of ignorance. Looking back to 2013, the AC72 was an aggressive design that went through a period that was very, very difficult. Everybody saw the pitfalls of what happened when things weren't done properly, and that was a tragedy, but that's also the game we are playing. With the AC75, we continue to reach further into the unknown, and that is hard to do.
So the situation was never remotely close to being that dire?
No. We go out sailing nearly every day on our 50% scale model boat, the Mule, and I can assure you it's hard. But I can also assure you that it's safe as well. However, that doesn't mean people don't get hurt. The risk of people being hurt, or even worse, is there, but we deal with risk throughout our lives, whatever we are doing, and plan accordingly. So anybody who said the regatta should have been delayed, at the least, had no idea what they were talking about, and perhaps also were serving another agenda outside of winning the regatta.
But this delay had to have been frustrating.
For sure, we're all dying to get our hands on these parts so that we can get our big boats going, but throughout we continued to encourage the Challenger of Record, who had taken on the task, and Persico, who was the builder, to be prudent, to make sure it is safe for the teams when it's delivered.
So yes, the delays were unfortunate, but so be it as this was our one opportunity to get it right, and there still is time to learn how to sail our boats.
I give Persico a lot of credit, because they have not been tempted to speed up the process. They are going about it in the right way. These people are the best in the business, so however long it takes is how long it takes because we can't put the fleet or the regatta in the situation where these pieces of equipment fail. These are no fail items.
You did get people excited when your recent video showed the Mule had capsized.
Yes, these boats do that. We also saw Oracle's AC72 pitch bow in San Francisco Bay in October 2012. This is the high performance game we are playing, and if it was easy everybody would be doing it. But it's not easy. This is incredibly hard, and as the person who's responsible for all of our team members, and accountable to our principles and members at the New York Yacht Club, I take it all incredibly seriously, yet at the same time, we're in a competition to win the regatta.
It would be a mistake to think, even as we're talking right now, that the competition is not happening because it is, and we know it is. So for our team, we can't get bogged down in certain things, and the foil arms is a perfect example, or the cant system not delivered as was detailed to us. These are realities and we can choose to moan about it or we can choose just to work through it and get on with it while maintaining our focus on our sailing team, which we're doing, and our design team, because those are the things we can control.
The good news came last week that the foil arms passed the tests. When can we expect to see your AC75 in the water?
Probably by early August.
How does this delay impact boat number two?
It doesn't impact number two, but as I said earlier, if we'd known about this delay before we had to submit the design for number one, that boat would have been different. Boat one was designed in a very short period of time, and so it's a reasonably conservative boat because we're always targeting the launch on March 31. Since the class rule was solidified in June 2018, I think our design team had only about six weeks to execute. It will be a learning boat to get us going, but given the thousands of hull shapes that have since been run through the computer, the second boat is going to be significantly better.
And the second boat will be launched when?
I don't know yet. We have a little bit of a wiggle room in the fall of 2020. We will decide how long we want to push it and how much time we need to reliably build it.
Have you closed your winter base in Florida?
Yes, we finished our training on Pensacola Bay last week. The venue was beyond ideal and our plan is to return this fall with our AC75 and the Mule for a second winter training program in Pensacola. But now we are back to Rhode Island. Our dedicated construction facility is in Bristol, and we look forward to getting these missing parts so we can go sailing this summer in Narragansett Bay.

Rice pudding with fruit and nutsThis is cooked like a normal rice pudding, but with fruit and nuts added halfway through: toasted almonds and pistachios, sautéed diced apple and strips of dried apricot. These added flavours and textures make an already creamy rice pudding even more delicious.

How to heat milk without it catching on the bottom of the panVery often when you heat milk in a saucepan, it forms at the bottom of the pan (especially if the milk boiled) a sticky and brown bottom of milk that burned and attached. To avoid this here is a very simple and very effective tip.

The UN-Arab League envoy to Syria says that Iran's participation at Geneva 2 is "natural and necessary".
The UN-Arab League envoy to Syria has said that Iran's participation in international peace talks on the Syrian conflict was "necessary", Mehr news agency reported.
"We think the participation of Iran at Geneva 2 is natural and necessary," Lakhdar Brahimi said on Saturday in Tehran at a joint press conference after talks with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.
Brahimi stressed that no invitations have yet been sent out for the proposed international peace conference, which the United Nations hopes to organise for late November.
Zarif, whose country is a top ally of the embattled Damascus regime, said that "if Iran is invited to take part in Geneva 2, we will be there to help find a diplomatic solution."
Brahimi is on a regional tour to drum up support in preparation for the conference, which has already been postponed several times.
He has already visited Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar to try to muster support for the talks on ending the 31-month conflict in Syria.
Prospects for the initiative, however, appear dim as the fractured Syrian opposition has yet to decide whether to attend and as President Bashar al-Assad has said the "factors are not yet in place" for a conference.
The conflict has killed more than 115,000 people since its outbreak in March 2011, when a government crackdown on peaceful protests escalated into civil war.

In some species, the female can store sperm for several weeks<ref name="Bird"/>. In many species, the reproductive system follows an annual cycle, switching on at the beginning of the breeding season, and then shrinking again when the work is done. Female birds usually only have one ovary, which produces eggs like units on a production line<ref name="Bird"/>. Eggs contain all the nutrients that a developing embryo needs, but they do not start to develop until all the eggs are laid, and incubation begins<ref name="Bird"/>. ==Breeding systems== Around 90 percent of all species of bird are usually monogamous: they have one partner. Polygamous birds have several partners in a single breeding season. Most species that are normally monogamous may also take part in extra meetings outside their pair bond<ref name="Bird"/>. ==Anatomy== In birds, the gonads are markedly asymmetrical. The left ovary and left oviduct in the female are functional, however; the right ovary and right oviduct degenerate early in the bird's embryonic development. Both testes or testicles, of the male are both present and functional, but the left testis is usually considerably larger than the right one<ref>Tordoff, H.B. (1961). Aves.

How Do You Publish Your Book?
Does your book have a thing that'll grab your audience in a way no other book will? Figure that thing out, and lead with that.
Over the past twelve months, hell, it's been longer than that, I've been working on Snapshot, a suspense/thriller novel about what happens when a woman discovers her grandfather has a dark secret, by way of finding a blurry snapshot that might or might not be him, burying a body.
There's a whole lot more to it than that, but if you're reading this blog post, chances are you've got a clue or two about the story. It's almost all I've talked about on here over the past year. I love the story. Love the characters, love the way it's written. (Again, if you know me, you know I'm not one to play the modest tortured artist. If I like my work, I'll tell you.) I like this one.
I wrote the novel last November while I recovered from back surgery. I've workshopped the book in a writer's group, I've bounced it off an incredible editor, and I pitched it and queried it to over tens of agents. And over fives of small publishers.
When all those agents and publishers passed on my query, I was sad. I was dumbfounded. This story – it's a damn good story. Maybe I was pitching it wrong? Or describing it wrong? You see, there's a way queries have to be submitted. You get between three and six paragraphs to interest a party in your story.
And I just can't pull it off. I thought about some of my favorite books; The Life Of Pi, for instance. How can you sell that tale in a short space? A ship sinks, leaving a boy who questions all religions stuck on a lifeboat with a tiger. But, does that really tell you what that book is about? It's so much more.
Or what about a movie like Pulp Fiction. How in the hell do you tell a friend about that movie, in just three or six paragraphs? It's an odd number of tales that overlap where a boxer throws a fight, a contract killer has an epiphany, Zed loses his motorcycle, another killer wins a dance contest before his date overdoses on heroin and… and… there's just no way.
If I wrote that story, (Pulp Fiction) and tried to pitch it to agents today? They'd pass on it. Maybe they'd pass because I didn't sell the sizzle well enough, or maybe they'd pass because it didn't include a tween dying of cancer who'd fallen in love with a vampire she met attending wizard school.
Okay, in all fairness, perhaps I'm a little jaded in this process that I barely know anything about.
Back to the topic at hand. How to publish a book, My Way.
I know what you're thinking already. "Wait, so, you self-published your book then, right?"
No. Nope. I did not.
I found that key thing that would make it interesting to a particular publisher. In my case, I found a regional publisher, and pitched it as a regional story about a woman who suspects her grandfather of murder. The publisher wrote back the very next day, and asked for the manuscript, and asked to meet me.
Seven days later, they'd read the entire 60,000-word manuscript (something they'd only done once before) and a deal is in the works. They're excited about it, I'm excited about it. Holy crap I'm excited about it.
So, what have I learned?
First, I believe I suck at pitching/querying a book. I wrote and refined a query letter a hundred times, getting the story's description filed to a razor-sharp point… but what I think I should have been doing was researching every agent and publisher; finding out WHY my book was right for them, and then telling them that.
Second, it wasn't until I considered this book as a product just like my CD that it made sense to me to market it locally. Let it grow here, in Marietta. It'll sell nationally as well, it's not a story with a limited scope, but that local connection will be one of the things that hopefully grabs that first audience.
Does your book have a thing that'll grab your audience in a way no other book will? Figure that thing out, and lead with that.

San Jose, Costa Rica, 28 September 2018: The EU-LAC project (EU – Latin America and Caribbean Cooperation on Civil Aviation), officially opened today its field office in the Latin America and Caribbean region, in the presence of EU Commissioner for Transport Ms Violeta Bulc, EU Ambassador to Costa Rica Mr Pelayo Castro Zuzuarregui and EASA Strategy and Safety Management Director Mr Luc Tytgat. The EU-LAC project is financed by the EU and implemented by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Its office in Costa Rica will strengthen the well-established cooperation between the two regions and support European and Latin American and Caribbean interests in civil aviation.
Ms Bulc said: "With this inauguration ceremony I want to formally reaffirm the long history of cooperation in aviation safety between the EU and Latin America and enhance the solid relationship that joints the Central American and European Aviation Agencies (ACSA/COCESNA (1) and EASA). I have participated to discussions of Central American National Aviation Authorities to reinforce the partnership required to respond to the challenges of rapid air traffic between our two regions".
Ms Bulc, accompanied by the team from EASA and the European Delegation, held a series of meetings with local authorities, a working lunch on urban mobility with the First Lady Ms Claudia Dobles, and participated in the COCESNA Council. She also emphasised the importance of the EASA presence in the region through the field office hosted by the Central American Aviation Safety Agency. EASA and COCESNA/ACSA have a long-standing cooperation, sealed with the signature of a new Memorandum of Understanding.
Luc Tytgat said: "It was an honour to sign today this agreement and always a pleasure to be here at COCESNA/ACSA and witness the success of the cooperation we have developed together. For EASA, today marks a new key milestone in the relationship between our organisations. It will further our joint efforts for the development of a safe, sustainable and more accessible aviation here in Central America".
The importance of setting up a Central American regional aviation regulatory framework is aligned with global best practices, and to be seen as enabler to the development of aviation industry in the region.
About the EU-LAC project:
Through the four-year EU-LAC project, EASA is working with the countries and Regional Safety Oversight Organisations of the Latin America and Caribbean region to enhance aviation safety, and promote the political, economic and environmental partnership between the two regions in the domain of civil aviation.
More information on the EU-LAC project and EASA's technical cooperation activities.
(1) ACSA (Central American Aviation Safety Agency), a division of COCESNA (Corporación Centroamericana de Servicios de Navegación Aérea), is the Regional Safety Oversight Organisation of the six Central American countries (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Belize).

So, what did Trina bring to the sale? My old Gameboy Advance (I have the SP now, so didn't need the other), and MP3 CD playing boombox that never worked flawlessly, some knick knacks, and lots of video tapes. Since I am now a DVD addict, some of my VHS tapes have been supplanted by lovely DVDs. That left quite a few videos I didn't need anymore. Dad looked through them last night and picked up a few for the Lake. The rest I sold for $1 each or 5 for $3. And I managed to sell over half of them! Which really surprised me - my taste in videos isn't very, um, usual. Some of the things in the video boxes: Columbo, Dangermouse, Red Dwarf, Monty Python (Flying Circus & Live at Hollywood Bowl), Monkees, and several movies including some Muppets ones.
Any guesses as to what sold first?
Well, if you would have asked me which would have sold first, if any would have sold, I'd've said Columbo and some of the movies.
Heh - nope, it was the Monty Python stuff! A couple and their daughter arrived early and saw the Python tapes. They immediately started arguing whether the son still owned a VCR and if he'd be interested in the videos. So the daughter called her brother, confirmed he had a VCR still, and bought all the Python. And when it added up to only 8 videos, I threw in two Doctor Who videos to make 10 thinking he might like that. (Which two, you ask? Ghost Light and Curse of Fenric, of course. Only quality videos for my customers!)
The stuff that didn't sell included Red Dwarf and Dangermouse. (The first didnt' surprise me, the second did! All those little kids who stopped by and I couldn't sell them on a cartoon about a secret agent mouse and his hamster assistant!)
During the day, I saw 4 former classmates of mine, two whom I haven't seen in years (I think since maybe graduation!) and one of my sister's classmates. Dad and I spent most of the day outside selling and chatting with folks as they came. Mom preferred instead to run errands (getting mail, getting lunch - yay! Texas Tenderloins from a vendor on main street).
So, how much did I net during the day?
Almost $60! Wow! I did a lot better than I suspected. So now I'm rich! I think I'll go to some town garage sale and spend it all! (Hah, yeah right!)

Christopher John Treacy
More than forty years on, The Who's shows still burst with youthful exuberance. No, it's not quite the fevered pitch of their legendary Woodstock performance, but the crowd at the TD Banknorth Garden last night was plenty pleased.
And really, we're lucky to still have The Who in any capacity. At one time, "lifestyle issues" threatened to take Townshend out of the game permanently. And then there's the fact that the band officially retired in '82.
But of all the various outings since then, this time was different - there was new music to be heard.
While playing festivals around Europe this summer, The Who released its first new material in 24 years, a miniopera called "Wire & Glass." The full-length album, "Endless Wire," is slated to drop on Halloween.
After a forgettable set from Peeping Tom, "I Can't Explain" and "The Seeker" made for riveting openers. Wiry Townshend and muscular Daltrey, now 61 and 62 respectively, truly seemed to be having fun, playing with newfound commitment.
Whether or not Who fans like the new songs, they signify that Daltrey and Townshend feel inspired, and there's no arguing with how that benefits ALL the tunes they're choosing to play this fall. The punky irreverence that fueled their mod-squad beginnings is still a pulsing undercurrent in everything they do.
During "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," Daltrey's gargling rasp came into focus. Although he still packs plenty of power behind those pipes, they occasionally gave out on him. Still, the extra husk added drama to the dejected sentiments of "Behind Blue Eyes."
It seemed at times to be "The Daltrey and Townshend Show," but The Who is a functioning band, and they couldn't have asked for a better match in drummer Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's son). Also on hand were Townshend's brother Simon on added guitar, John Rabbit Bundrick on keys and Pino Palladino on bass.
Starkey's perpetual Keith Moon-inspired pummel provided the glue between the old and new material, ("Fragments" and "Black Widow's Eyes" were particularly memorable) including the six-song miniopera in it's entirety. A pleasing surprise, the new songs echo the band's r & b-seasoned, power-surging classics.
"My Generation" ended with a deliciously bluesy jam that segued into "Cry If You Want" and "Won't Get Fooled Again." They closed with an intimate reading of "Tea and Theater."

The Eubanks and Durham Libraries welcomed New York Times Best-Selling author Stuart Gibbs to speak to their students about his career as an author and what motivates him to keep writing.
Gibbs is well known for his children's book series titled Spy School. The stories feature an awkward middle school kid who knows what he wants to be when he grows up. Ben, the main character, is recruited to an undercover CIA academy for kids and begins the adventure of becoming a spy.
Gibbs spoke on how that idea came to him after viewing his first James Bond film at age seven, and how he immediately started writing stories about a middle school super agent. He knew at that age he wanted to be an author when he grew up. He encouraged the students to chase after any career they are interested in, even ideas as 'crazy' as becoming a kid super agent.
Students at both campuses were given time to ask questions and get their books autographed by Mr. Gibbs.
Stuart Gibbs currently lives in Los Angeles, CA and is working on the next books in both his Spy School series and Waste of Space series which are expected to be released in 2018. For more information about Mr. Stuart Gibbs, click here.

LA Girl wins Rihanna's love, with her Fenty Beauty costume
Rihanna's post of Alicia Alexandria's costume.
We thought someone would rock Fenty Beauty 'Trophy Wife' and bring that highlighter to life, but come through Pro Filt'r Foundation and accept the award for Halloween 2017!
Many people may have worn Rihanna's Fenty Beauty foundation as part of their makeup look for Halloween 2017, but one fan literally and figuratively WORE the Pro Filt'r 450.
Alicia Alexandria is a multifaceted creative. She has a background in photography and is the one woman behind Alexandria Productions.
Already known for creativity in her circles, she posted her Halloween costume with the caption 'Pro Filt'r 450 warm #FentyBeauty #fentybeautyfoundation #glossbomb #profltrfoundation #EdGoodBurger #ayeshacurry #badcop #Doctor'
Her squad comprised herself as the Pro Filt'r Foundation and her friends were dressed up as Ed Good Burger, Ayesha Curry, a bad cop and a doctor. Alicia gave photo credits to @bloverr, Brittni.
Some people commented on the photo and tagged @badgalriri because Alicia herself had not done such.
And her effort, along with their @s did not go unnoticed by the creator of her inspiration – Rihanna.
Rihanna posted Alicia in her costume next to a stick of the Pro Filt'r 450 Foundation and captioned the collage, 'Pro Filt'R 450 Happy Halloween'.
In five days on Alicia's IG account her original photo received 4 661 likes, meanwhile on Rihanna's page her collage has racked up 872 847 likes in just three days.
Ecstatic, Alicia took a screenshot of Rihanna's post and expressed her gratitude in a lengthy caption and she brought clarity as to how she came to step out the house in the costume in the first place.
"The ULTIMATE #RIHpost: Thank you @badgalriri soooo much for the #RIHpost My Life is MADE!
"My vision/design came to LIFEE! I made the costume myself...cut the letters out and pasted them on myself! I honestly wasn't going to even dress up since I had SO MUCH TROUBLE finding a dress in my complexion to fit my vision. I conceived this idea while in traffic driving through DTLA.
"I appreciate Rihanna for creating a product in every shade/skin tone! I am happy to see that my creative vision has inspired soo many to make their ideas come to life!"
And she did miss the opportunity to put her business out there as well like a true entrepreneur.
"I hope to use my black-owned business @alexandriaproductions to promote the awareness of beauty in ALL SHADES through my content I would love the opportunity to collaborate with other creators, esp @badgalriri @fentybeauty Creative team, Art Directors, Designers etc... to further promote diversity and inclusion in all creative content the world sees," she added.
