Beautifully designed ESV Illuminated Bible & a Giveaway
Many years ago, I recall a conversation I had with one of my friends that had just lost a parent. This was such a difficult time in her life, but she sought comfort in something left behind by her father, his Bible. This was not just any ordinary Bible, but this was one that was loved and used. She knew that because it was not new. The cover and pages were worn. Notes were written throughout the entire Bible, as well as many prayers left behind. My friend sought comfort in this Bible and she reflected on the fact that she would once again be united with her father once she got to Heaven.
That one conversation left such an impact on me. It made me consider my own legacy that I was leaving behind for my children and loved ones. Of course, I read my Bible and write notes to myself throughout the margins as I listen to the Word being taught or what God reveals to me in quiet time. Those notes are very dear to my heart. But does it show more than that?
Recently I was given the opportunity to check out the ESV Illuminated Bible. It is absolutely STUNNING! Designed with the full ESV text alongside over 500 elegantly hand-lettered gold ink illustrations by renowned artist Dana Tanamachi, this Bible is so incredibly beautiful! Printed on thick cream-colored paper, the Bible's single-column text setting and wide margins provide generous space for additional notes, prayers, and designs—inviting readers to creatively engage with and reflect on the beauty of God's Word.
This Bible also features:
9-point, Lexicon
Black letter text
2-color printing
64 full-page, custom book opener illustrations
50 full-page verse illustrations
250+ hand-lettered margin verses
100+ other illustrations throughout
Smyth-sewn binding
Packaging: Permanent Slipcase
What makes this Bible so unique is the intricate work that Dana Tanamachi has done. As an American lettering artist, graphic designer, and illustrator, her exquisite typographic murals ignited the worldwide chalk-lettering trend. She has been commissioned by clients such as Instagram, Target, Google, Time Magazine, Nike, and West Elm. You can learn more about her here.
With everything that she has so delicately added to the single most important book in my life, I am eager to begin Bible journaling in it. While may illustrations may not be as gorgeous as Dana's, I know that is the perfect Bible for my kids to be left with so that they can see the love I have/had for my King. I want them to be able to pick up my Bible and see that it was more than just a book on the shelf! They should be able to easily see from the illustrations and text that I write that I used that book to live my life.
What is Bible journaling? It is a way to show your love of the Word by drawing pictures or writing words on the pages of the Bible where you are inspired. It helps you to engage with the Bible and God's word in a powerful and meaningful way. Now I realize this is not for everyone, and that is okay. But if you are the creative kind and want to celebrate God's love in a new and refreshing way, I want to encourage you to consider bible journaling.

"Name me the first three lawmakers who benefit from progress on opioids," one former Hill staffer asked me. "If you didn't name three Democrats, you're not paying attention."
Those who immediately come to mind are Sens. Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), and Joe Donnelly (Ind.), who all face difficult reelection battles in states Republicans are hoping to pick off to retain control of the Senate. The last thing McConnell wants, this theory goes, is those senators going back to their states, which are ravaged by abuse of prescription painkillers, and tell their constituents they worked across the aisle to get something done.
There's a risk to not acting before the election: More than two-thirds of Americans say opioid misuse is a very or somewhat serious problem in their state. And that's consistent among Democrats, Republicans and independents, according to a POLITICO-Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health poll released this week.
On Capitol Hill Wednesday afternoon, McCaskill told me it wouldn't surprise her if politics were holding up opioid legislation, but then acknowledged it could be her bias because right now, in the midst of a bitter campaign to keep her job, "I'm in that mindset that I think everything is playing politics."
"They can't stop us from talking about it," she said, during a brief interview on the train that runs beneath the Capitol. "How many investigations have I done?" She turned to a staffer beside her. "Four? Four investigations? It would be very difficult for them to block us from [campaigning on it.]."
McConnell's spokesman, Don Stewart, pushed back on the assertion that anyone wants to delay a vote on tackling the opioid crisis until after the election.
"This is obviously a priority for the Leader and he's encouraged his chairmen to come to an agreement quickly and I predict they will," he said.
But those who are following the issue closely don't feel there's a true sense of urgency to get an opioid bill to the Senate floor sometime soon, let alone before the election. In June, the House passed overwhelmingly a sweeping package of opioid-related measures aimed at fighting the crisis, which killed more than 42,000 people in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Combined Senate legislation, spearheaded by Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Chair Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) has been waiting for a floor vote. The aims of both chambers' approaches are similar: expanding access to treatment and prevention, as well as cracking down on the distribution of the drugs. President Trump has declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency, though advocates have criticized his approach as lacking teeth.
But the political imperatives diverge in a year when House Republicans are fighting to maintain their majority -- see the number of vulnerable House GOPers who have sponsored opioid legislation -- and Senate Republicans are trying to pick off Democrats. That's a recipe, say some observers, for stalling what may be the most bipartisan issue that exists in Washington right now.
In the Senate, the vulnerable incumbents are almost all Democrats. many from states hit hardest by the opioid problem. "That's the cold, hard reality," one Washington, D.C.-based consultant told me.
"Passing this legislation, it's as close to unanimous as you're going to get," Andrew Kessler, the founder of Slingshot Solutions LLC, a consulting firm that specializes in behavioral health policy, told me. "So, let's make the rhetoric match reality because they're holding up legislation ready to go and ready to pass. If Sen. McConnell, in his heart of hearts, believes the president that it's public health emergency I'd like to know what the hold up is."
But Jessica Hulsey Nickel, founder and CEO of Addiction Policy Forum, took a more optimistic view. She believes a delay until after the election is actually an attempt to save the opioid bills from getting muddied by politics.
"It feels like they've been trying to plot this out to be a little less partisan and not fall in a single pothole along the way," she said. "To rush it or make it one party's versus the other's, would go against the spirit of how this was constructed."
No one we asked in several Senate Democratic offices would openly say whether they believed McConnell was slow-walking the legislation for political purposes. But one Democratic aide told me lawmakers on both sides are trying to work in "good faith" to get it done.
"It would be disappointing if this got caught up in election-year politics,' the aide added, "given how much of a crisis this is around the country."

AHH: A year after the demise of the Republican effort to undo the Affordable Care Act, Democrats are highlighting health care as a key talking point heading toward midterm elections. Our Post colleagues Amy Goldstein and Mike DeBonis write that Democrats see health care "more than any other issues" as their "best chance to persuade swing voters in key races nationwide."
"It's effective everywhere," Charlie Kelly, executive director of the House Majority PAC, told our colleagues. "This is an issue that's been Number One across the board in every election. I don't see that changing, and it's something we're going to be talking about from now until Election Day."
And voters see health care as a key issue on their end, too. A Washington Post-Schar school poll this month found Democrats are leading among voters who say health care is a top issue, Amy and Mike report. Another poll by the Pew found voters trust Democrats more than Republicans by a 16-point margin on the topic of health care.
"Many Republican lawmakers and strategists interviewed this week conceded that GOP candidates are broadly vulnerable on the issue," Amy and Mike write. And Larry Levitt, a senior vice president at the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation said a lack of a different solution from Republicans on health care has further highlighted that concern. "They have tried to unravel protections that people hold dear while not successfully coming up with a replacement plan of their own," he said.
OOF: Attorneys for disgraced former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University team doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing young female gymnasts, is requesting a new sentence, claiming that the judge showed bias and led to Nassar being assaulted, our Post colleague Des Bieler reports.
In a Wednesday filing in the same court where Judge Rosemarie Aquilina sentenced Nassar to 40 to 175 years in prison, attorneys said Nassar was assaulted in prison as a result of "Judge Aquilina's efforts to demonize Dr. Nassar in front of the entire world," Des reports.
Nassar's lawyers filed two motions, one to seek a new sentence for Nassar, and another to seek that Judge Aquilin is disqualified and another judge is assigned to sentence him, the Lansing State Journal's Matt Mencarini reports.
OUCH: Doctors at the Amsterdam Universitair Medische Centra led a trial to find out if the active ingredient in Viagra could be used to help at-risk premature babies survive. But when Dutch doctors gave 93 pregnant women Sildenafil, a generic version of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra, some of the babies started dying, The Post's Cleve R. Wootson Jr. reports.
After they were born, 11 of the 93 babies whose mothers were given the active drug developed a form of high blood pressure in the lungs, and died, Cleve reports. Another six babies developed the complication but survived. The other 90 babies in the trial were given a placebo, three of whom developed the high blood pressure disorder but survived.
"The chance of a disease of the blood vessels of the lungs appears to be greater and the chance of death after birth seems to have increased," Amsterdam UMC said in a release about the trial. Cleve reports researchers noted there were "no positive effects for the children on other outcomes" and "all adverse effects occurred after birth."
The study was halted immediately based on these findings. In a statement, Viagra-make Pfizer said the pharmaceutical company was "not involved in any aspect of this trial, and neither funded nor provided product for the trial," adding "the Principle Investigators at the Amsterdam University Medical Centre have confirmed a non-Pfizer manufactured generic version of sildenafil was used but that no clinical trial participants were administered Viagra, Pfizer sildenafil or any other Pfizer medicine."
— The Trump administration has repeatedly said that migrant parents who may have been deported without their children gave their consent, but Politico's Ted Hesson, Renuka Rayasam and Dan Diamond report Homeland Security officials may have failed to document that consent with as many as three-quarters of migrants removed from the country.
An official told Politico the administration did not document consent in many cases. "That lapse increased the number of departed parents whom officials must now find and contact about whether they wish to be reunited with their children, and, if so, figure out the logistics of how to bring them together," Ted, Renuka and Dan report. "The revelation threatens to delay reunifications one day ahead of a court-ordered deadline to return most migrant children to their parents."
Up to 350 parents may have been deporteds without being given the choice of taking their child with them.
The administration faces a deadline today to reunite all children with their parents after being separated at the border. "The administration had completed 1,012 reunifications by Tuesday out of 1,637 parents it deemed eligible to reunite with their children, with most of the remaining 625 expected to be reunited by the deadline," Ted, Renuka and Dan write.
— Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma yesterday minced no words in criticizing during a speech yesterday the idea of a single-payer health care system that's gaining momentum among Democrats.
"We have all heard the drumbeat for what advocates of a government-run — socialized — health care system call 'Medicare for All,' " Verma said during remarks at the Commonwealth Club of California. "By choosing a socialized system, you are giving the government complete control over the decisions pertaining to your care, or whether you receive care at all."
Verma said she would not grant waivers to states to spend federal money on a single-payer system. She warned that such a program would divert focus from care for seniors, criticized it as "unaffordable" and said it "doesn't make sense for us to waste time on something that's not going to work."
— A new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation further highlights (as our colleagues Amy and Mike write) that health care remains a top campaign issue for voters. Broken down along party lines, Democratic voters were most likely to respond that health care is a top issue: 74 percent of Democratic voters, 64 percent of independent voters and 49 Republican voters said a candidate's position on whether to cover preexisting health conditions is either the most or a very important factor that will determine their vote, according to the poll.
A majority of voters also pointed specifically to the Trump administration as contributing to the instability of the ACA. The poll found 56 percent of respondents said the president and his administration are trying to make Obamacare fail, compared with 32 percent who say they are trying to make the law work. It also found 58 percent say that Republican lawmakers and the president are responsible for the ACA's fate and any concerns with it.
— The Senate HELP Committee unanimously advanced four health-care bills yesterday, including the Patients Right to Know Drug Prices Act, a measure that will prohibit so-called "gag clauses" that block pharmacists from telling consumers when the cash price might be cheaper than an insurance co-pay.
"These clauses have resulted in patients paying double, triple or even more for prescription drugs than they would have if they had paid out of pocket but they just simply don't know that fact," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), one of the bill's co-sponsors, during the hearing.
Collins applauded the Trump administration for specifically calling out "gag clauses" in the blueprint to reduce drug costs, and HHS Secretary Alex Azar for saying he would support such a bill.
The Health 202 wrote earlier this month about legislative efforts in both chambers to do away with such opaque provisions that prohibit pharmacists from sharing cost information with patients.
— House Democrats introduced legislation Wednesday to allow the federal government to negotiate directly with manufacturers over drug prices for Medicare.
The Hill reports that Democrats are setting up the issue now in hopes they'll win back the House in November. It's a position President Trump took during the campaign, but was not included in his administration's strategy to lower drug prices."This bill calls the President's bluff on his drug pricing promises," bill sponsor Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Tex.) told The Hill.
— Yesterday, a major study presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Chicago revealed that for the first time in a large clinical trial to find an Alzheimer's treatment, a drug was able to slow cognitive decline and reduce plaques in patients brains.
It could be the first drug that successfully treats brain changes and Alzheimer's symptoms. "The treatment was administered at different dosing levels. After 18 months, those receiving the highest dose had an 81 percent reduction in amyloid buildup as measured in PET scans and a 30 percent reduction in clinical indicators of early Alzheimer's," our Post colleague Tara Bahrampour reports.
Other drugs have been able to effectively treat the brain plaques but have not slowed cognitive decline, the New York Times's Pam Belluck reports.. A success would be a welcome milestone in the search for a treatment.
"An estimated 5.7 million Americans 65 and over have Alzheimer's, and the Alzheimer's Association predicts that number to mushroom to nearly 14 million by 2050 in the absence of new treatments," Tara writes. "A handful of drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration can alleviate some symptoms, but in the past 14 years no new drugs have been approved for the disease."
"I think it's a big deal, because we've definitely had some disappointments in Alzheimer's drug development lately, so I think we just need some positive news," James Hendrix, director of global science initiatives at the Alzheimer's Association said, Tara reports. "We're obviously very hopeful."
— In a deeply personal speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) laid out her forceful opposition to Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The senator, who also serves as the ranking Democrat on the HELP panel, began by sharing this story from her youth:
"When I was in college, a friend of mine—we were very close and lived together in the dorms—went out on a date. She was raped and got pregnant. She didn't know where to get a safe abortion—and she wasn't wealthy, so she didn't think she could afford it either. The botched procedure she ended up having left her, at a very young age, unable to bear children.
"I saw my friend hurt, frightened, alone, and unable to get the care she needed because someone else's beliefs mattered more under our laws than her health and her future. That impacted me a lot, and has stayed with me to this day."
The senator continued, calling a Kavanaugh confirmation a "threat" that would "roll back reproductive rights women have had for more than four decades."
Democrats have sharpened their attacks on Kavanaugh as Republicans push to get a vote on him before the Supreme Court returns in October. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), during a news conference, said, "In a moral moment there is no bystanders. You are either complicit in the evil, you are either contributing to the wrong, or you are fighting against it."
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) advised Democrats who are "engaged in this kind of superheated rhetoric" to "get a grip, get a grip," our Post colleague Elise Viebeck reports.
Meanwhile, while most Democrats are refusing to meet with Kavanaugh over a dispute regarding the judge's documents. But Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Joe Donnelly (Ind.) broke with their party and announced they'd sit down with Kavanaugh one-on-one in the coming days.
As Politico previously reported, neither man, both in tough reelection fights in states that voted for Trump, say Democratic leadership can influence their vote.
"I'll be 71 years old in August, you're going to whip me? Kiss my you know what," Manchin told Politico.
— GlaxoSmithKline said it would make a $300 million investment in gene testing company 23andMe in an effort to put more resources into research, the Wall Street Journal's Carlo Martuscelli reports.
The British pharmaceutical company signed a four-year deal with the company to research and develop new drugs. GSK's Chief Scientific Officer Hal Barron "said Wednesday the company wanted to leverage genetic data using techniques such as machine learning to discover new medicines, with Parkinson's disease research one area where 23andMe's customer genetic data could be useful,' Carlo writes.

text: The Speed of SoundThe Speed of Sound: The RADiUS Protocol for Evaluating the PleuraButts, Christine MDAuthor Information Dr. Buttsis the director of the division of emergency ultrasound and a clinical assistant professor of emergency medicine at Louisiana State University at New Orleans. Read Dr. Butts' past columns athttp://bit.ly/ButtsSpeedofSound. Emergency Medicine News: May 2014 - Volume 36 - Issue 5 - p 23 doi: 10.1097/01.EEM.0000449782.05976.38 Metrics Image 3: Image 3. In this image, the rib is seen to the left of the image (R), with the pleura just deep to it (arrow). B-lines are seen as thick, hyperechoic, vertical lines emanating from the pleura. "Zooming" out with a low-frequency transducer will reveal these lines extending through the parenchyma.FigureThe RADiUS protocol makes the evaluation of acute dyspnea straightforward by using an approach that evaluates the heart, the IVC, the pleura, and the lung parenchyma. Diagnosing pneumothorax can easily be assessed with high sensitivity by evaluating the pleura. Combing ultrasound findings with the overall clinical picture can identify other diagnoses such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. A high-frequency transducer, such as a linear array, is well suited to evaluate the pleura secondary to its high resolution. The motion of the pleura can be seen with a low-frequency transducer, but it lacks sufficient resolution to identify more subtle findings. Each side of the chest should be examined in a stepwise fashion, typically proceeding from the anterior chest near the mid-clavicular line to the posterior axillary line. The posterior lung fields should be evaluated as well if time and patient stability allows. The normal pleura will appear as a hyperechoic (white) horizontal line deep to the musculature of the chest wall. (Image 1.) Orienting the transducer with the indicator pointing toward the patient's head will reveal the ribs in cross-section, making them a useful orientation point in identifying the pleura line. The presence or absence of a pneumothorax should be the first goal of this section of the RADiUS protocol. I addressed the "sliding" motion of the pleura previously; a detailed explanation of this phenomenon can be found at http://bit.ly/PjVTNU. The lack of lung "sliding" and comet tails are reliable indicators of a possible pneumothorax, but the presence of a lung point adds to the sensitivity of these findings. The lung point represents the spot at which the normal sliding pleura meets a pneumothorax. This can best be visualized using M-mode. (Read about M-mode at http://bit.ly/GD7kLV.) The normal lung will exhibit the "seashore sign" until it abruptly changes to the "barcode sign," indicating the beginning of a pneumothorax.Image 1: Image 1. High-frequency image of the pleura. Identifying the rib (arrowhead) provides a focal point: the horizontal line just deep to the rib (arrow) is the pleura.Image 2: Image 2. In this image, the rib is seen on the left of the image (R), with the pleura seen just deep to it (arrow). A-lines are seen in this image as the repeating horizontal lines deep to the pleura (arrowheads).The parenchyma of the lung can be assessed as well, although not as thoroughly as with a lower frequency transducer.

Well, not really, but once Spring comes with its beautiful weather, for many the dreaded allergy season starts too.
And we all know the symptoms, right? Runny nose, watery/itchy eyes, constant sneezing. The allergy alarm bells go off thanks to the dry, fine and powdery pollen coming from trees like oak, birch and ash.
Also very important to consider is that stress is known to play a very important role in predisposing people to respond allergically.
The aromatherapy approach to allergy is to employ essential oils that have a noticeable physical relieving effect and that at the same time are calming and soothing. While this treatment will not cure the susceptibility to the allergen, the symptoms can be minimized or they can be more bearable.
My favorite oils for allergies are Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Blue Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)and Niaouli (Melaleuca viridiflora) and they are all carefully put together in Aromandina's Allergy Calm essential oil and Allergy Calm Roll On.
Just follow these steps:
- Put 3 drops of Allergy calm Essential Oil on a washcloth. Take the washcloth to the shower.While showering, place the washcloth on your chest and allow the heat of the shower to release the vapors of the essential oil.
- After the shower, mix 1 tablespoon coconut oil with 6 drops of Allergy Calm Essential Oil and apply with massage in the hollow below the collarbone next to the breastbone and your arms, from the wrist to the shoulder in upper movements.
- Roll Allergy Calm Roll On on the face: the sinus area, the side of each nostril, the bottom of the cheekbones and the base of the skull. Press these points with your fingertips.
You can keep your Allergy Calm Roll On at hand and use it freely during the day.
While this treatment will not cure the susceptibility to the allergen, the symptoms can be minimized or they can be more bearable.

The collection comprises Aaron Gan's newest collection, Joy. He is an award-winning artist from Singapore and his innovative painting style has earned him many sell-out shows and collaborations with international brands. Gan graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce (Dean's List) from the University of Western Australia in 2003. He gave up his corporate career in 2012 to fulfill his childhood promise to become a professional artist.
His newest series, Joy, features paintings depicting an adorable and whimsical bird looking back amongst a series of beautiful and auspicious fruits and flowers. The backwards glance symbolizes gratitude and appreciation to the people who have helped in the past and the Joy one gains when giving back to society. The art is being applied to a set of 4 coasters, a round tray, 2 sizes of Goodie Boxes, small round trinket box and tissue box.
Qua presents the Round Trinket Box with the artwork of a bird standing on a bamboo shoot from the Joy collection by Aaron Gan.
This small Round Box is suitable for placing any little trinket and keepsakes. You can use it for your office desk and put small office supplies (paperclips) inside to add a hint of colour in your office. With its subtle and serene background, it would be a perfect gift to many of your friends as well.

Notice to Members - Special Meeting June 27, 9 am, at Portland
Notice to Members - Special Meeting June 27, 9 am, at Portland
Notice to Members of HomeWorks Tri-County Electric Cooperative
A Special Member Meeting is set for June 27, 9 a.m., at the Cooperative's Portland office
The board of directors will consider several changes to the cooperative's rates and tariffs at its meeting on June 27, 2016, to be held at the cooperative office at 7973 Grand River Avenue, Portland, MI. The meeting will start at 9 a.m. and is open to all members of HomeWorks Tri-County Electric Cooperative.
The session will begin with an opportunity for members to provide direct input to the board of directors, without filing a formal request under the cooperative policy. Members are asked to come to the lobby by 9 a.m. and request to speak to the board; staff will direct interested members to the meeting room. Time constraints on each member's comments will be at the discretion of the board president, but members are asked to keep comments to less than five minutes.
The following items will be considered:
1) Revise the cooperative's electric rates to meet current and future financial needs, based on an independent Cost of Service study.
2) Reconcile the 2015 Power Supply Cost Recovery Factor collections. The Power Supply Cost Recovery Factor is applied to Tri-County Electric Cooperative's retail member-customers' monthly kilowatt-hour use. It represents the fluctuating costs of the power supply, as established by the cooperative in conjunction with Wolverine Power Cooperative. The factor is established annually and reviewed monthly.
3) Discuss participation in the State of Michigan's Low Income Energy Assistance program at the cost of a surcharge, to be determined by the state, on each residential customer's monthly energy bill.
Notice of changes or additions to the cooperative's rates or service rules shall be sent to all members, as required by P.A. 167, by publication in Michigan Country Lines at least 30 days prior to their effective date.
Participation: Any interested member may attend and participate. The location of the board meeting site is accessible, including handicapped parking. Persons needing any accommodation to participate should contact HomeWorks Tri-County Electric at 800-562-8232 a week in advance to request mobility, visual, hearing or other assistance. Comments may also be made before the meeting date by calling General Manager Mark Kappler at 517-647-1281, or by email at email@example.com.
Notice of the board meeting shall be sent to all members, as required by P.A. 167, by publication in Michigan Country Lines.

1) telnet is insecure, in that the password you submit through telnet to the target machine travels "in the clear" (ie, legibly). This is an issue because the nature of network traffic is that it passes through a series of intermediate machines on the way from sender to receiver. Software or people at such machines can observe the password.
2) Microsoft has made various small changes to its built-in telnet client from version to version of Windows. Your screen may look a little different than the screenshots below but the basic functionality is the same.
Telnet is a so-called "terminal emulator." It would be nice if you could walk up to the remote computer that hosts your account, sit down at the terminal (monitor), and do your work there anytime you wanted. But you can't. That's what a terminal emulator is for. It emulates (pretends to be) a terminal. You tell it which machine you want to connect to. If that machine offers telnet access, you get the same experience as you would if actually seated at the machine.
The remote computer used by our class does offer telnet access. What's more, a copy of telnet is built into Windows. So now if you have a Windows machine, you have a Unix machine. We set it up that way for this class.
You can't use the remote computer until I give you an account there (although you can get as far as the "login" prompt). But if you want to get the flavor of how you use a remote machine from the comfort of your local one, below are some machines that allow you in even if you don't have a personal account on them. Try it.
Telnet: locis.loc.gov
Password: none needed.
(The Library of Congress Information Service)
Telnet: forsythetn.stanford.edu
Account: socrates
(A Stanford University database)
Telnet bbs.isca.uiowa.edu
At the "login:" prompt, type `bbs' and hit enter.
(run by the Iowa Student Computer Association)
In addition to the built-in Windows telnet (which is limited, though probably sufficient for this class) there are quite a few free telnet programs for Windows and Mac that can be downloaded and installed. The one I use and prefer is TeraTerm. Others (some free, some not) are on offer for download at http://tucows.tierranet.com/term95.html.
Below is a sequence of screens captured from my Windows95 machine when I logged in to a remote computer called vlacc.rexx.com.
You can run Windows' telnet program from the Start/Run dialog box.
It shows up on your screen like this.
Use telnet's Connect/Remote System menu option to tell it what machine you want it to connect to.
It gives you the little dialog box below. Type in the name of your desired target machine (vlacc.rexx.com in the example below). Then press the Connect button.
Assuming your machine is internet connected, contact will be made with the remote machine you name, which sends back some text that shows up in your telnet window. It's asking you to log in by giving it your pre-established account name (called a user id in Unix-speak).
After you give it a valid user id, it demands a matching password:
If you give it one, it completes the login process, presenting you with a command prompt that will wait for you to type commands. You are now operating the remote machine. When you want to stop doing so, the Unix command that will end your session on vlacc.rexx.com, and sever the connection with your Windows telnet program, is "exit".
Please don't expect to get this far until I have set up an account and transmitted the information to you (that is, established a user id and password for you on the remote computer for our class and told you what they are).

Sony is continuing to have one hell of a year. After God of War dominated the first half of the calendar, Insomniac's Spider-Man swung in to pick-up the mantle. So much so that Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 is now the fastest selling first-party game in Sony's history.
After releasing on September 7th, it took Insomniac Games' Spider-Man just 3 days to sell 3.3 million copies. As mentioned above, that's a record for the game's publisher, Sony Interactive Entertainment.
As you may already know, the record was previously held by God of War following the game's debut earlier this year. Kratos' reemergence for Sony sold 3.1 million copies in its first three days.
As impressive as Spider-Man's 3.3 million in sales is, that number still doesn't account for the $399.99 Spider-Man limited edition PlayStation 4 Pro console that released alongside the game. There are also 3 DLC packs coming to continue the game's story with new characters and accessories.
Dubbed "The City That Never Sleeps", each of the 3 episodes will cost $9.99 on their own. Or you can purchase them as a bundle for $24.99. The first episode, titled "The Heist", revolves around Black Cat and is scheduled to land on October 23rd. The following 2 episodes will arrive in November and December.
Stephen Turvey, PlayStation's global senior vice president of sales and head of North America business operations, released the below statement following news of Spider-Man's success:
"Our expectations are always set at the highest levels, bringing Spider-Man back to gaming in a way that you want to experience it. It's met and exceeded all expectations. I think the company, and the campus, and our fans are super proud of it."
All in all, Spider-Man on PlayStation 4 has been a massive success for Sony, Insomniac, Marvel, and perhaps most of all, Spider-Man fans. There's no doubt that a sequel is most assuredly coming our way. In the meantime, for more PlayStation 4 Spider-Man coverage, checkout Nerd Much?'s recent piece focusing on 3 Key Takeaways from one fantastic game.

JUNIOR MENDES has extra work on his plate to regain a place in Town's League I squad.
The 28-year-old hasn't even been on the bench for the last three matches and has dropped down the pecking order with the arrival of loan man Luke Beckett.
Now, manager Peter Jackson has called on the Montserrat international to start sparking in the Reserves - starting against Boston United at the Galpharm tomorrow (2.00).
"Junior has been very disappointed not to be involved, but I'm looking for a big response from him," said Jackson, who is continuing his search for a loan defender.
"He has been pushed back a little bit with the arrival of Luke, who grabbed a couple of goals to help us earn a very welcome win against Bournemouth.
"But it's important Junior keeps his head up and works to force his way back into the first-team planning by giving good performances in the Reserves."
Jackson is delighted that Mendes will be joined in tomorrow's team by David Mirfin, who will play at right-back, and central defender John McCombe, who both trained yesterday after injury. Jackson spent yesterday in his office making calls on possible loan signings while Terry Yorath took training.
Nathan Clarke (groin) is also making good progress, but his place tomorrow goes to 17-year-old brother Tom - who could well keep his place in the senior squad for Saturday's trip to Walsall.
Michael Collins, back from skippering the Republic of Ireland Under 19s to victory in Italy, also plays tomorrow after hearing he and James Hand have retained their Eire places for a tournament in La Manga, Spain, from February 7 to 12, against Norway, the Czech Republic and Denmark.
Reserves - Senior, Mirfin, McCombe, T Clarke, Lloyd, Mendes, Ahmed, Collins, Schofield, A Sodje, McAliskey.

As one of modern Ireland's most successful actresses, comedians, writers and activists, Cork-born Tara Flynn has had an illustrious career that shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. We spoke to Tara about Morbegs, what it takes to make a living in the entertainment industry, and what we can do about the problems we face in Ireland in 2017.
L: I've been told specifically by my editor that I have to ask you about the Morbegs. Any chance of a reunion?
T: I don't think so, we're all scattered to the wind! But I did meet another Morbeg the other day, one who had been inside the suits, so we are sort of around the place. Yeah, there were dancers in the suits and then we would do the voice acting and we'd work the faces by remote control… so I was Molly! There were two teams so that we could keep filming: there was one team would film from nine 'til three in the day, and another team would film from three 'til nine, and the next day the teams would swap, so the morning team would become the evening team. So, in blocks, we would just make shitloads of television.
L: And do you like doing the voice acting or do you like to be, I suppose, centre stage?
T: I love acting, I love doing theatre and love doing telly, but voice acting is another skill that I absolutely adore. It's a different skill; it's very, very different. You have to try and put your physicality into your voice, and Morbegs was different again because someone else was doing the physicality, so it's a very strange one, but I love voice acting. I absolutely love it. Love doing radio, love doing voiceovers, love all that.
L: It sounds interesting! What are you working on currently? I saw that you do a column for HeadStuff (www.headstuff.org) at the moment.
T: Yeah, I do a HeadStuff column and I do that every week. I do a column for Irish Tatler every month. I'm writing a lot at the moment: I'm pitching a TV show and I'm hoping to act a lot more. It's just something I absolutely love, and it's something I backburner-ed when I focused on comedy. Now, I still get a lot of comedy work, because that is the skill that I have, but I love acting and I want to do a bit more. I've done a few things this year where they're sort of at pitch stage, so you just have to keep – I keep saying, fire out a hundred arrows and three might land, so I'm firing out as many arrows as I can. I've draft one of a novel done, so that's fiction; I've draft – draft, like, four or five or whatever of a one-woman show… and I have a pitch of a TV show. We'll see what happens, and in the meantime, God, I'm hoping – Martin Scorsese is in town this week for the film festival. Hoping he'll just swing by and say, "Tara, I've been meaning to run this part past you!"
L: Say in the interviews we do, we tend to talk to people about what they've done once they've gotten the part or once they've gotten the recording contract or whatever, so how would you suggest that people get into, say, writing for television or stage?
T: The thing is to just write. I mean, having been to LA a few times where they're the kings and queens of getting their stuff out there – they have to, because there's so much competition – if you want something, you'll already be doing it in some capacity. You'll be doing amateur dramatics in your own town, you'll be in Dramat at college, or you'll be writing anyway. Just keep writing, keep writing even if you throw it away. Write every day…. Basically what they're doing now is, well, if you're not already making it you obviously don't care. A lot of things are getting picked up from online now…. It takes a lot of resources; it takes getting friends together who can film it for you, or learning to use cameras yourself, but if you want it there are ways to get stories told and out there. My top tip is: do it anyway, don't wait.
L: I like that, that's – what's the word I'm looking for? – inspiring!
T: Oh, God! Not me, I'm an eejit! I am a total mess, so don't anyone be inspired by me.
L: You've gotten into activism recently. Did that kind of start with the marriage referendum, or had you been doing it before that as well?
T: I couldn't point to a start. I've always been very private about my politics and what I think. Especially when your life is a little bit public, I always wanted to hold a bit of something back, and I still do that, believe it or not. No-one could guess my party politics; I don't talk about it. You probably could, broadly, but I don't talk about them. There are loads of issues which I don't speak out. But what I thought was, with marriage equality, there were so many people with money doing sketches or making videos where it was just either non-facts or really insulting to people that I knew and loved, and I was like, ah listen. We can make a stab at that. So I parodied that and just pick apart the ridiculousness of some of the arguments. That was, I suppose, the first time I stepped up and said anything: that would have been the marriage equality referendum.
Then, my husband is black and he got some racist abuse, so I made 'Racist B&B'. It was cathartic for me, and it was something that – he didn't want to go to the police and I just felt powerless to support him, so it was a way for me to support him through my own voice, through the way I work. Then because I was so admiring of people telling their own truths during the marriage equality referendum, even in the face of people lying about them and saying horrible things, I felt like a little bit of a liar not telling my own truth when it came to talk about Repeal the 8th. So when Amnesty asked me to chair their – actually asked me to host – a 'My Body, My Rights' panel at Electric Picnic, I said, well, I have something to tell you and I wonder do you think this would be useful: I have some lived experience in this area, and I think it's time to start saying that I have so that it would just stigma-bust. We all know this: we just won't say it. We all know someone, we all knows lots of people that we watch on TV or that are on our bus or that are in our lectures – it's happened to them already, or it could happen to them soon. We just all have agreed to play a part in colluding in this secret and this pretence that it doesn't happen. It was about puncturing that and going, no, it does happen and it's happened to me and it can happen to anyone. We need to start taking care of our pregnant people in this country, and not lying about it anymore. The activism came slowly but, I suppose, gradually.
People like ARC, the Abortion Rights Campaign, they really have to get a shout-out: they've been doing the brunt work for so long and making things happen and pushing for legislation and… going over to the UN. They've done so much, and the Coalition to Repeal the 8th, of which Ailbhe Smyth is the convenor – they've done such amazing work and Ailbhe's been doing it for forty years or more than forty years. She's unreal. I mean, when I'm a 'face' all it is, is that I've put my face to the story. I'm not technically a campaigner in that way; I'm a campaigner in that I will tell my story and that I have a bit of a profile, and it does affect my life, and of course I've had to get more political: I've had to stand up for myself, I've had to take a bollocking, I've had to do all that…. I go to open meetings when I can, but I didn't join ARC, I didn't join Amnesty… part of that was because I feel like, as an individual, someone lashes out at me and I want to lash back because it is so personal. I don't know that I can be an impartial spokesperson, so I don't think I'm useful in that way…. I am eternally in awe of, and grateful to, ARC and to all their branches, and to the Coalition, even in terms of support. Amnesty, too. The support they've given me when things have gotten tough, even though I'm not technically a member, has been just phenomenal and the support they give to pregnant people every day – they're incredible, just incredible, and I really need to give them all the props.
L: It's another interesting thing, actually – you left Twitter a few weeks ago, didn't you?
T: Yeah, I left for nearly a month.
L: If you want to talk a little bit about why you did it, or what Twitter could do to prevent abuse?
T: I can't answer that, really. All I know is what I can do to make myself safe, and what I did after the Christmas break wasn't just – y'know, trolls are trolls, and if they have access, they're going to come out. I've always rationalised that, like, from day one on Twitter: you open a door to a beautiful vista, and a few slugs will get in…. All I wanted to do on Twitter is start having a say more, and I noticed around the world several comedians have gotten way more serious because the stuff that's happening at the moment to basic humanity and decency is far too serious to be funny. But I went onto Twitter to share cat videos and jokes, that's it.
L: Considering that you've done the videos about marriage equality or Racist B&B, what do you think of comedy itself as a political tool, if you get me? You do find that comedians are getting a bit more political.
T: I actually wrote a HeadStuff column about this recently. I have fallen out of love with satire, and it used to be something I loved to watch. It just leaves me a bit cold at the moment, [but] I'm sure that's a phase. I think one of satire's bits of power was puncturing the powerful, and at the moment the powerful don't seem puncturable. The things they are doing are ludicrous, so there's no point pointing out the ludicrousness if everyone can see it… Then, I find at the moment satire only just reinforces negativity and it's not activism and you're not changing anything if you're just sniping from the sidelines. I'm not sure that's a good function either. I'm not finding it entertaining, which should be comedy's main thing whether it's satire or just pure craic – it should be making you laugh, and at the moment satire is just making me sad. Secondly, I don't find it constructive. It's not offering a solution, and if it's not puncturing or offering a solution I just wonder what that's about, then. I'm… watching more stuff at the moment and reading more stuff by people of colour, by LGBT people. I kind of think at the moment we need to really focus on the work and what's being said or has been said for feckin' years until privileged, white, straight, cis people caught up by people who are marginalised, and so I'm more interested at the moment in terms of… being informed and in hearing voices that I haven't heard enough of. Like I said in the HeadStuff piece, I don't want to watch a guy in a suit impersonate a guy in a suit who's lying anyway.
L: How do you find that we're doing in Ireland on that front, on the intersectionality in entertainment? I feel like we're very much stuck in the last century.
T: We are definitely stuck, we're stuck. When you mention intersectionality, it's still kind of laughed at – people poo-pooing it and, even in our media, they still use 'SJWs' as a derogatory term and it's like, would you ever fuck off? Are you seeing what's happening to marginalised people? There is real threat and danger and either you're on the side of social justice, or you're not. Proud SJW, and piss off – bite me! …I think intersectionality is the only way forward, it's the only way for proper inclusion. It's the only way to not engage in tokenism and still holding supremacy and not addressing equality properly. I'm really interested in the moment, and I'm
questioning myself about it: how do people who have the mouthpiece step aside now and give people who need the mic, the mic? That's way more interesting to me right now than…hearing someone that hasn't a fucking clue pontificating about race issues…. That discourse hasn't been had here, and you're seen as radical for having it… you see the anger of people who think equality is taking from them, because they should have all the privilege. We're way behind, but here's the difference – because the women living in Ireland are all oppressed, because we're all unequal and we're second-class citizens, we've a chance to park our privilege and go "we're all in this together, we can fight this," and our allies there with us, be they male or non-binary or be they all colours and genders and creeds: we have a chance to go, OK, we are far behind, but we can bring up the rear and overtake from the back.

It's been
years, years, years
since this morning
and I'm still lingering on the edge of life.
Like all things
it is guilt and bliss,
speeding headfirst into the train tunnel,
escaping with ecstasy.
Like all things
it is sweet and sour,
leaving these old train tracks and frail railings and broken people behind
but also forgetting a part of ourselves.
But in years years years
if we don't forget
we'll have a perfect round pearl
to place in the memory jar,
remembering the beautiful old lightning shows
while letting go of the pounding rain
It's been years years years
I need to see the world
but I've still found so many reasons to stay.

Acorns and goats milk, honey from the comb,
the small sour grapes and olives of the hills,
he never ate the sort of food that fills
you up, It's not as if they ate at home,
his mother and her sisters. Gods eat cloud
and air and wind, though also pick at stuff
at random in the hills. He never got enough
to eat, poor demigod. He cried aloud
perfect High C from hunger, didn't know
what he was feeling. His wife changed all that.
She found him almost starved, and got him fat.
Their love was flesh, and poems. They would go
eat and make love. And he would lie in bed

By Pension and Benefits Editorial Staff
The key to a company's success is employee satisfaction. Employees who truly embrace coming to work will be more productive. Progressive employers will realize that it is imperative to offer impressive benefits to attract and retain top talent. The following are the top five high value benefits as identified by Clarity Benefit Solutions to present to employees in 2019:
- A focus on family. Companies should be providing benefits that allow employees to care for their families. Dependent care plans allow employees to dedicate pre-tax dollars to pay for family members' care expenses, like child care or adult day care. Additional types of FSAs allow employees to set aside money to spend on various health and care related costs, easing the burden of caring for a family.
- The ability to work remotely. While many employers allow employees to work from home, employers should consider permitting employees to work from anywhere—even when they venture into the office. Let employees carve out a space where they can let their creative juices flow—and reap the benefits. An added bonus is giving them the opportunity to set their own hours.
- Quality coffee and free food. Many companies offer beverages, snacks, meals, and treats free of charge to their employees. This not only saves employees a ton of money but can also be a time-saver for employees who forgot to plan lunch or have a craving while in the middle of a challenging assignment.
- Workplace wellness initiatives. Forward-thinking employers realize that investing in employees' health and well-being is a win-win for both parties. Health screenings, paid gym memberships, yoga classes during lunch, and counseling services will boost both creativity and productivity.
- An abundance of PTO. Employees who work hard should be rewarded with plenty of time off. Some employers offer unlimited PTO; while others give employees their birthday off and an extra week between Christmas and the New Year. Make sure long-term employees earn extra vacation time each year they are employed. Offering Fridays off in the summer is also an exceptional benefit for loyal employees who have devoted many years to the company.

One of Fremantle's pre-season mantras has been to make themselves harder to play against. How long is it going to take to add that they also need to make themselves easier to play alongside?
Two examples from Saturday's 50-point loss to Port Adelaide: a couple of minutes into the third quarter, David Mundy makes an uncharacteristic decision and skill error.
He goes short to Brandon Matera midfield and Port's Justin Westhoff finds a way to spoil the ball. Turnover.
Jared Polec fetches the spill and fires a handball to Riley Bonner.
Bonner by hand to Westhoff, Westhoff by hand to Jack Watts, Watts by hand to Steven Motlop, who gives to Chad Wingard, who flicks the ball to Todd Marshall, who kicks the goal from the line.
Once the turnover happened, Port Adelaide's ball use made it impossible for the Dockers to defend.
Second example: later in the term, Nathan Wilson executes a brilliant kick-in after a point and finds Bailey Banfield inside the centre square.
Banfield's handball isn't perfect but is good enough for Hayden Ballantyne to fetch.
He hits Cam Sutcliffe by hand streaming goalwards with Nat Fyfe isolated one-on-one ahead of him inside the attacking 50m. It's a shot on goal waiting to happen. Somehow the Dockers make a hash of it.
Sutcliffe's kick isn't great but is made harder by Fyfe not coming towards him, placing a Port defender between the ball and its target.
Fyfe's movement wasn't great, but his options weren't helped by Matt Taberner dragging his opponent Tom Clurey into the vicinity as he ran back towards goal.
There is a contest, a turnover and no score.
There is no one thing that matters absolutely in the AFL.
Everything matters. The thing you value less than others becomes a competitive disadvantage that other teams use to beat you.
The goal you stop has an arithmetic value of six points on the scoreboard, but equally the one you should kick but fail to has an arithmetic value of at least minus six points, minus 12 if the opposition kick a goal off the turnover.
When Marshall goaled at the start of the third it was Port's ninth and their seventh from a Dockers turnover.
Fremantle had kicked one off Port turnovers by the same stage. The difference in scores off turnover was 37 points.
The margin in the game at that point was 28 points.
A difference of that magnitude in any area of an AFL game will be the competitive advantage that decides the game.
There is evidence that the Dockers have started to realise their inadequacies with ball in hand. Last year, beset by a plague of turnovers inside their defensive 50m, they elevated Luke Ryan into their team and recruited Wilson at the end of the season. Over summer, realising they fumbled too often, they went to the Perth Wildcats for help in skill and ball-handling drills.
e saw very early evidence of the benefits of this in the JLT Community Series.
But other evidence suggests they continue to tolerate routine skill errors, particularly by foot.
Bradley Hill was a runaway winner in the club's best and fairest last year when his disposal in the back half of the season was average, to put it nicely.
Danyle Pearce, soon to turn 32 and 255 games into a very good AFL career, is another who gets on the nerves of Fremantle supporters who believe he misses targets that he should hit far too often.
Dockers fans lament the absence of a potent forward, but is it actually realistic to expect an attack to score heavily receiving the service the forwards get from players kicking it to them?
In short, Fremantle need to finish their work better.
Otherwise most decent opponents will finish them off as Port did on Saturday.

Early Tuesday morning, the group set out from the ADRA center for our meeting with the municipality. We had three primary objectives: to talk about supplies, money, and to give the municipality drawing designs for Japura and our previous water projects. When we arrived in Pitumarca, we were almost immediately granted an interview with the secretary general and the architect. The meeting was productive, and we covered all three points without issue. The only thing remaining is for the architect to review our final project designs in order to approve the final muni payment.
After concluding our meeting, we headed up to Japura to start construction. To our surprise, there wasn't a lot for us to do! Two locals – one from Suyo and other from Qqelca – had been hired to dig holes, place the solar panels posts, and pour cement. The men in charge knew just what to do, and we didn't want to get in their way. Diana, one of our team members, observed that the man working in Suyo, who is 58, "is in better shape than most of us. He had a task, and he completed the task without a break." We are used to doing more manual labor during our implementation trips, but it's very encouraging to see such a high level of local participation! The more the community is involved in the project, the more likely it will succeed long-term.
Team members spent the day building relationships with the community members, conducting pre-installation surveys (so we can later measure the project impact), taking videos and photos, and aiding in the construction process in any way we could. Quite a few posts were installed all over Suyo, and the plan for tomorrow is to divide into groups and continue construction in Suyo and start in Qqelca. A third group will visit Patiñeque, a community about an hour's hike from Suyo, to assist in maintenance of the water system EWB installed there two years ago. Overall, we had a productive day (especially in our muni meeting), and we plan to be even more productive tomorrow!

The Czech Republic has defied Russia and deported a Russian accused of hacking into the United States. Russia wanted Yevgeniy Nikulin for online theft; in the US he'll face charges of penetrating US corporate networks.
The Czech Justice Ministry confirmed Friday that the 29-year-old Yevgeniy Nikulin had been "flown out" to face charges of hacking into Silicon Valley firms such as LinkedIn, Dropbox and Formspring in 2012.
The charges stem from a probe by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and a 2016 US federal grand jury indictment reached in California. Nikulin has denied any wrongdoing in past comments to Czech media.
Nikulin was arrested in Prague in October 2016.
Czech Justice Minister Robert Pelikan reportedly went ahead with Friday's extradition after the country's top court rejected a last-minute appeal from Russia.
A Moscow court in late 2016 issued a warrant for Nikulin's arrest over the alleged theft in 2009 of $3,450 (€2,000) inside the electronic system Webmoney.
Czech President Milos Zeman, who often takes a pro-Russian stance, had called for Nikulin's transfer to Russia.
However, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis, who is currently trying to form a new Cabinet after losing a confidence vote last month, said he favored the US.

Home of the Great wall of China and titled as one of the scariest travel destinations, China keeps finding new and increasingly nerve-racking ways to attract and entertain tourists.
The 21196-kilometre Great Wall has been in existence for over 2300 years to protect different territorial borders. It also boasts of 70000 people per day, to just one section. This high number of tourists has caused a recurring theme in tourist cites developed in China, even more with the recent opening of the 202-meter-high glass observation deck in Qingyuan City. It extends 72 meters from the edge of the cliff at the scenic spot of Gulongxia.
Since the Great Wall of China, the longest wall in the world, the country has developed seven more outstanding landmarks that keep making headlines for record breaking.
Potential world's longest glass U-shaped bridge, at Fuxi Mountain, Henan
The latest potential record-breaker is a glass-and-steel skywalk at Fuxi Mountain in Henan province, central China. The new bridge extends 30 meters beyond the cliff edge at 360 meters above ground level, trumping other U-shaped wonders such as Arizona's Grand Canyon Skywalk, which juts out a mere 21 meters over the epic US gorge.
Hiking horror at Mount Huashan, Shaanxi
The paths are genuinely terrifying, consisting of modest foot-grooves cut into a 2,090 meter-high (6,857 feet) sheer rock face and rusting metal bars serving as makeshift vertical staircases. The path is just 0.3 meters (1 foot) at its widest.
The three glass walkways of Tianmen Mountain, Hunan
Not content with just one glass-bottomed walkway, Tianmen Mountain in Hunan province, southern China, has three, the most recent of which opened in 2016. For adrenaline junkies, is the world's longest cable car ride, which spans seven kilometers and takes 30 minutes to complete at Tongtian Avenue.
ALSO READ: Check out the longest bridges in the world
The cracking glass walkway in East Taihang, Hebei
Remember the viral video of a man on a cracking glass bridge? This is it.
The walkway is 1,180 meters (3,871 feet) above sea level. Shattered glass fragments were placed underneath solid panels to make the walkway look and sound as though it's splintering when trodden upon. However, the walkway is safe to traverse.
World's longest glass bridge at Hongya Gu, Hebei
The 488 meter-long glass bridge is made up of 1,077 glass panels of four centimeters thickness, strings together two peaks above a drop of 218 meters. Swaying suspension cables add to the fun experience.
Biggest glass viewing platform at Shilinxia, Beijing
Jutting 32.8 meters over the edge of a 396 meter valley, the Shilinxia Viewing Platform stretches a whole 11 meters farther than the Grand Canyon Skywalk and nearly three meters farther than the Fuxi Mountain Skywalk.
The rickety Sky Ladder at Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yunnan
There's no safety equipment whatsoever, and the 170-odd rungs are so narrow, a slick of rain (or a cold sweat) could easily dislodge a white-knuckle grip. Sensible shoes and a cool head are needed while ascending from the abyss from the Jinsha river, which reaches 3,790 meters at the gorge's highest point. Don't look down.

For the second year, HBAS hosted a Promotion Ceremony for 72 students who completed Level 4, our highest ESL class. It's a wonderful way for staff, family and friends to celebrate students promoting out of our ESL Program.
We gathered at Westminster High School on Monday morning. Fengliu Dodson led us in the flag salute and Trung Dung Nguyen performed a stunning cello rendition of the national anthem.
Hearing from our students is always a special treat. Student Speaker Hau Truong's journey at HBAS has been unique: he completed the ESL, Diploma and Pharmacy Technician Programs simultaneously! After a summer trip to Vietnam, Hau will start his Pharmacy Technician externship in the fall and classes at Golden West College next spring.
Student Speaker Michelle Dong expressed gratitude to her "united and loving" evening class at Gothard. She said that all students should be proud because "we will never give up on ourselves. We are thirsty for knowledge; we are motivated to learn new things!"
We couldn't be prouder of our 72 promoters as they step forward with new skills and confidence at work, at home, at school and in the community. Michelle Dong spoke for all of us when she wished her fellow students "good luck on your incredible, thrilling path to a wonderful future."

Corsé Coffee was created by a busy active mom and caring wife for whom coffee has always been a must have in the household to get through the day. However, they've always had trouble finding THE one. She started creating her own blends for their personal consumption. Friends and family always found them to be "too strong". It is not until she was commissioned by other hard workers like herself to take this public, that she decided to launch Corsé Coffee.
"Our coffee has a purpose: get us through the day. Push through till the end of a hard long day of work, and then at home, and then all over again the next day!
We have crazy days, and busy lives. We have tough jobs, work long hours, with often unpredictable schedules.
Our coffee blends are specially curated to achieve the desired kick or boost to get things done.
We like our coffee strong. Strong to the core. And our highly-caffeinated coffee is just that.
It works for us, and we have a feeling it will work for you too. Try it for yourself - this is no joke coffee!"

BMW's powerful 3-liter Twin-Turbo from the 335i is current holder of the International Engine of the Year award, a title the German manufacturer is unlikely to let loose lightly.
BMW's powerful 3-liter Twin-Turbo from the 335i is current holder of the International Engine of the Year award, a title the German manufacturer is unlikely to let loose lightly, and with the 2008 awards approaching on May 7th, lets take a look at the contenders for the crown
This year, current holders BMW will have reason to believe they are well placed to win the much coveted award for 4th consecutive year with two extremely strong entries. First up is the mighty 4.0-liter V8 found in the M3 producing 420hp with torque peaking at 400 Nm, and let us not forget the 2-litre twin-turbo diesel, housed in the 123d boasting a power output of 204bhp which is the first all-aluminium diesel engine in the world with more than 100 hp output per litre.
Now is the time for the contenders to come forward and contrary to last years awards which was dominated by German manufacturers, the Japanese will be banging on the title door. The Nissan GT-R has been producing astonishing performance figures which seem to be going against the laws of engineering so we are sure to see a strong challenge from it's 3.8 Twin Turbo pumping out 480hp. Other contenders from the Japanese shores will be Subaru's much respected first-ever diesel and Mitsubishi's technologically advanced 2-litre turbo from the EVO X.
Not to be left out in the cold, the European and American manfacturers will be looking to get in on the act. Audi brings the twin-turbo 5-litre V10 from the RS6 which packs a monstrous 572bhp, and GM will have high hopes for the 6.2-litre V8 from the Corvette ZR1 and Cadillac CTS-V.
The award is decided by a panel of 65 automotive jounalists from 32 countries and will be announced at the Engine Expo 2008, held in Stuttgart between 6th and 8th of May.

SCOTT DEPOT, Wv. -- 2019 Teays Valley Christian (WV) PF Anderson Mirambeaux spent the end of high school season adjusting to his team and getting comfortable on the court. Now, he's showing off his high talent level on one of the best AAU teams in the nation, Boo Williams 17U. He has been a part of a 7-1 start in the EYBL, one of the 3 major shoe circuits, and coaches are beginning to take notice.
This big fella loves to operate in the post, where he has a variety of moves. He is a straight up killer in the mid-post, and if you sag the help defense off too far, he will score. Mirambeaux has great hands and rebounds like a man in the paint. His body may need some work, but he runs the floor and stays active on the glass. A comparison you won't hear often, Anderson has some Boris Diaw to his game. This kid has a chance to be very good in time.
As he gets older, his body will improve as will his jumpshot. The physical tools and understanding of the game make up for the things he can't do. There aren't many holes in the Dominican Republic native's game and it's only a matter of time before he starts dominating games.
He sports an early offer from Hampton and many other schools are calling about this talented prospect. With the way he's been playing for Boo Williams, more offers are surely on their way. He looks very comfortable playing up in the EYBL and based on what he has done so far, his best basketball is ahead. Many coaches will be tracking Anderson heading into the summer live periods.
"If he gets his body right, he has a chance to be one of the best and most complete players I've ever coached. His basketball IQ and ability to make those around him better separate him from other players at his position." – Ryan Arrowood, head coach at Teays Valley Christian, and formerly at Huntington Prep.
For more Anderson Mirambeaux, stay tuned on Next Up Recruits.

Ad Crucem 2" Sterling Silver Pectoral Crucifix
$ 150.00
An Ad Crucem original Sterling Silver Pectoral Crucifix available in sterling silver or gold (upon inquiry). This Crucifix shows remarkable detail on the corpus. The cross and corpus are both matte, with only the INRI highly polished, which makes for a unique look.
The position of the bale at the back of the crucifix prevents it from flipping backwards whilst being worn.
These crucifixes are machine finished and good value for money. Corpus is shiny.
The crucifix does not come with a chain.
SIZE 2" x 1"
