Web CollaborationWritten by Linda Alexander
Wouldn't it be nice if your company could save thousands of dollars a year on travel expenses? Web conferencing allows people to "meet" in cyberspace and work together on projects. Any number of people can participate in the meeting from different locations. Not only does it save money, it also saves time from not having to travel.
Web collaboration keeps your employees less stressed out and more productive. Instead of traveling across the globe week after week for two-hour meetings, they can now meet with others at their desktops. There is proprietary web collaboration software available, or you can use the services of a web conferencing company.
Some software allows users to see everything through a web browser while others require that everybody have the same software. Collaborating on the Web might involve text messages, graphics, slide presentations, file sharing, and voice capabilities. Often, visual conferences are held at the same time that everybody gets on the phone for a conference call.
Length of Sessions
Web conferences work best when they are between 60 and 90 minutes. That is about how long everyone's attention spans will last and how long people can stay productive in one sitting. In addition to meetings, virtual conferencing technology is also used for training and education as well as help desk support.

We all like to think our buying decisions are totally rational. Yet, according to Professor Gerald Zaltman of Harvard, 95% of purchases are driven subconsciously by our moods.
Similarly, Forrester's Customer Experience (CX) index survey found emotion to be the biggest perception influencer on CX. Yes, efficient service and reduced customer effort scored highly, but both were top trumped by good old-fashioned human feelings.
What does this mean for CX professionals? Can we harness emotions to improve sales and CX metrics?
The first step is to consider building emotion into your CX strategy and planning. Tools are emerging that enable organisations to match customer and agent personality profile-based proof points like call recordings and system interactions. That plays nicely to Genesys PureCloud because much of the heavy-lifting is done by analytics and artificial intelligence (AI)―natively or through tight integration with third-party solutions, greatly simplified by PureCloud APIs.
Additionally, Speech Analytics can be applied to track customer sentiment during the actual interaction. For instance, to spot if the customer's tone changes during a call from, say, neutral to frustrated or upset. At this point the agent gets a cue to help steer the conversation back on track. That could be something as basic as pointing out they're interrupting or talking over the customer and need to let them finish. Genesys software can even be combined with Natural Language Processing applications to detect slang and cultural nuances.
Analytics and AI can also be used to uncover learning from historic contacts by tracking and measuring agent performance and, through targeted coaching and training, addressing actions that result in negative emotions. PureCloud Quality Management can help pinpoint emotional CX areas that require fine tuning―improving understanding of why one agent handles a call better than another and sharing that specific best practice.
Recipe for success
When it comes to creating consistently amazing CX, technologies like AI clearly have a big role to play. Not only in improving efficiency, but increasingly in building empathy too. Helping us sense how customers are feeling and plugging into that fellow-feeling to inspire more emotionally desirable experiences. Making it easier to build rapport and personalise service for customers. Keeping business human.

My name is Jonathan Uhl. I am a third year pediatric resident at Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut. I worked for two weeks at Camp Androscoggin under the preceptorship of Dr. Jill Baren. This experience proved to be among the most valuable of my residency training so far. It reinvigorated my interest in primary care through exposure to primary care in one of its purest forms, and offered a unique perspective on the developmental trajectories of healthy children.
I became interested in camp doctoring during my second year of residency. With no initial leads, I searched Google for opportunities in camp medicine, stumbled upon Camp Health Consulting, and eventually made contact with Dr. Jill Baren who offered to take me under her wing at camp. I drafted a rotation proposal and set of goals, which my residency program's academic office approved.
My clinical responsibilities at camp were fairly consistent day to day. I worked closely with Dr. Baren, camp nurses, and athletic trainers. There were two "sick calls" per day—after breakfast and after dinner—during which campers and staff presented with new complaints or for planned follow-up visits. In addition, athletic trainers saw patients three afternoons per week, managing sports-related injuries such as ankle sprains and patellar dislocations. I was an active learner and participant during these sessions, especially in helping campers with their physical therapy exercises. The camp infirmary housed patients who were admitted during sick-call hours, or by the on-call nurse overnight. Inpatient rounds consisted of bringing the sick campers into the exam room one by one to reassess their dispositions.
Working in the camp infirmary was a challenging and refreshing departure from acute care pediatrics. Aside from sick call and athletic training sessions, I was not obligated to be in the infirmary. I was free to canoe, play basketball, or explore central Maine. But some of camp's most valuable experiences took place when I stuck around. I splinted fingers, exchanged clinical tips and anecdotes with the nurses, and got a glimpse inside a rich camp culture built by a community of thriving children. I saw children make friends, outgrow their shoes, and learn to advocate for their own health. Working as a camp doctor is an experience I encourage all pediatric residents to pursue.

Samsung's Galaxy S8 ($162 at Back Market) a bit too much for your wallet? Cast your eyes on Huawei Honor's new 6A.
This 5-inch Android phone packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core processor, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a capacious 3,010mAh battery. That's all wrapped up inside a metal body. Of course it makes some sacrifices to make to bring that price down: The display has only a 720-pixel resolution, so don't expect high-res images to pop like they do on higher end phones.
There's only 16GB of storage too, which you'll blow through pretty quickly. But you can at least expand that with microSD cards up to 128GB in size.
In the UK (where it's sold only as the Honor 6A) it's available to preorder for an affordable £150. There's stiff competition at the sub-£200 price bracket however -- most notably from the Nokia 5 ($600 at Amazon), which has many of the same key specs but adds a fingerprint scanner into the mix.
Global availability is yet to be announced.
Honor 6A key specs:
- 5-inch, 720-pixel display
- 3,010mAh battery (non-removable)
- 2GB RAM, 16GB storage
- Android Nougat
- Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8937 octa-core processor
- 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front camera

Burmese Classic full MoviesA Burmese classic full of films
Flight to Burma (1955)
Benedict Bogeaus and RKO Radio's Robert Ryan plays in this film as a refugee from the courts, hiding in the Far East tea grove run by Barbara Stanwyck. When the two fell in love, Stanwyck believed Ryan was innocent. Ryan and Stanwyck flee into the insidious Burmese jungle after the advent of stubbornly resolute guard David Farrar.
As many of Bogeaus' 1950' movies, Escape to Burma was staged by Allan Dwan.
Areas of Aung San and Burma - The Reuters Historic Collections of Britain and Burma
Burma is going to the elections on Sunday to vote for a new parliament, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) is likely to do well. Aung San, Suu Kyi's ancestor, was responsible for Burma's liberation from Britain.
In the Pathé Archives in Britain, his recorded explanation (begins at 01:21) explains his desires for his state. As Aung San never saw independency become a real thing when he was murdered by a real heir. The archives also include recordings of the Burmese general's silence film with Clement Attlee and several articles on freedom for which Aung San worked.

In spite of a captivating opening sequence: TCM Errol Flynn Adventures on DVD "I made six or seven good movies - the others not so good". ERRLlRLY: Errol Flynn. I have so many peculiarities here that I only list them directly from the site, but no classic movie story or Flynn needs to be pointed out.
Birthplace of a great oceanologist in Tasmania, Flynn grew up with a deep love of the ocean and a rebellious name. He was big, slender, charming, casual, with a clean-cut mustache, a victorious grin, a heartfelt, self-ironic laughter. These contents are exclusively made public for the amusement of our user.

well, it seems that the Daily Mail has dug up another story about drunk foreigners behaving silly in Pattaya. In this case a man and a woman from the UK were seen having sex in the water of Pattaya beach. They were fined 1000 baht each, which is not very much, but also lost a lot of dignity. they were escorted naked from the beach to the police station on soi 9. maybe not so embarrasing if you are drunk but in the morning you wouldn't want to see your face splashed across the tabloids, as well as your naked buttocks.
Lt. Col. Sombat Kaewmuang, Deputy Inspector of Investigations, said: 'Police received a report at 2.30am on July 23 that one male and one female tourist were naked together on Pattaya beach. Reports were they were having sex.
'Both Thai and foreign tourists had gathered around them. Police checked and both the man and woman were intoxicated.
Personally I wouldnt go in the water at Pattaya bay. it's very heavily polluted with rubbish and glass, not to mention rats and cockroaches. there are many other places in THailand that have far more attractive beaches than Pattaya. I would recommend heading south to one of the popular islands such as Koh Phangan, Koh Lanta, Phuket, … the list goes of on places in THailand with nice clean beaches. Some are even deserted enough that y ou could probably get away with a little amorous activity. even the nearby Koh Larn can provide an easy getaway destination with nice beaches and it's just a short ferry trip from Pattaya Bali Hai pier.
the punishments for tourists are generally small in monetary terms such as in this case, 1000 thb is around 23 pounds sterling. however it remains a common practice to force foreigners to make a public apology in which their full name and picture is published. obviously this could have ramifications for your future career prospects moreso than a small fine. this was the case for example of some backpackers in Chiang Mai last year who were fined and made to apologise publically for disrespectful behaviour around Songkran, that is, they were not wearing shirts. this might be considered normal in many countries however it is not acceptable at the time.
one area where the fines are not small is drink driving. police will ask for on the spot fines of 10,000-20,000 regardless of Thai or foreign nationality, and if going to court, you can also face jail time. the death toll from road accidents in Thailand is high and police are eager to make an example of people who are caught red handed. plus, even if you have travel insurance, any policy will be void if you are driving while intoxicated. it's not worth the risk when songtaews and motorbike taxis are abundant in Pattaya, and elsewhere in Bangkok there are so many taxis even in remote locations you will never have to wait for a ride.
we encourage you to enjoy yourself in Pattaya but always know your own limits or you too might find yourself in the newspaper!!!

Ahmed Ragab
- PhD, École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris
- MD, Cairo University
Ahmed Ragab is The Richard T. Watson Associate Professor of Science and Religion at Harvard Divinity School, affiliate associate professor at the department of the history of science, and director of the Science, Religion and Culture program at Harvard University.
Ragab is a historian of science and medicine, and a scholar of science and religion. He received his MD from Cairo University School of Medicine in 2005, and PhD from the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris in 2010. He is the author of The Medieval Islamic Hospital: Medicine, Religion and Charity (Cambridge University Press, 2015).
Ragab's research focuses on the history of medicine, science and religion and the development of cultures of science and cultures of religion in the Middle East and the Islamic World. He also studies and publishes on gender and sexuality in the medieval and early modern Middle East, postcolonial studies of science and religion and other questions in the history of science and religion. His The Medieval Islamic Hospital: Medicine, Religion and Charity (Cambridge University Press, 2015) was the first monographic study of Islamic hospitals. It analyzed hospitals as central institutions of the medieval Muslim city that conditioned the city's physical, medical and spiritual landscape. The book places the Islamic hospital within localized narratives of need, health and sickness, and discusses how they impacted medical thought and practice at the time. His Piety and Patienthood in Medieval Islam (Routledge Press, 2018) examined the pious construction of patienthood in the early Islamic medieval period. It investigated the deeper history of the prophetic medicine literature uncovering how pious narratives and writings of medical and religious scholars in the classical Islamic period conditioned the ways Muslim patients understood their bodies and experienced diseases, how they approached medical care, and how they perceived their suffering and recovery. Finally, his Medicine and Religion in the Life of an Ottoman Sheikh (Routledge, 2018—in press) traces the life and career of al-Shaykh Aḥmad al-Damanhūrī, who was the rector of al-Azhar university in the second half of the eighteenth century, as a religious scholar with a remarkable scientific and medical career. The book sheds light on the place of science and medicine in Egyptian Ottoman scholarly culture on the eve of colonization.
Ragab is currently working on two new book projects. The first Communities of Knowledge: Science in Medieval Europe and Islamdom (Princeton University Press, forthcoming) is co-authored with Professor Katharine Park (Harvard University). The book looks at the history of medieval and early modern science across traditional boundaries separating Europe and the Islamic world, using objects to investigate the production of scientific knowledge and practice. The book investigates objects as meaning-bearing categories that provoke epistemic investigations, which in turn maintain or disrupt these objects' coherence. The second, Around the Clock: Time in Medieval Islamic Clinical Cultures (Johns Hopkins University Press, forthcoming), investigates the place of time as an epistemic and cultural category in medical thought and practice. It looks at how time is articulated in a variety of contexts, from understanding seasonal variations and astrological and astronomical changes, to aging, to disease progress and to the place of time in defining gender categories.
Ragab's work investigates colonial and postcolonial science, technology and medicine in the Middle East. His work discusses debates on progress and reform in the nineteenth and twentieth century, the establishment of new medical and scientific faculties in the region, and the formation of new scientific elites. His most recent works have paid attention to the affective economies underwriting the making of colonial and postcolonial science and medicine. He also investigates the development of views on science and Islam from the early nineteenth century and looks at how debates on science and Islam were connected to the history of colonial science in the Middle East and Islamic world, how the nineteenth-century processes of selecting, editing and printing medieval Islamic texts contributed to creating a new archive of salvaged materials that emerged to influence the production of modern Islamic discourses centered around the notion of a "Golden Age of Islamic Civilization."

Look for the purpose we are to have in life.
12 For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it—
13 Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven—
Doctrine & Covenants 123:12-13
There are so many people in life who are stumbling around in the darkness of this world. They need you to share the light you have. Whether member or non-member, active or inactive, we all need the light we can share with each other. This is a purpose that we should "waste and wear out our lives" with. We have one shot at this life to make a difference for good.
Today's Takeaway: Whose life does God want you to bless today with a bit of light? I know you are tired and worn out, but do it anyway. Do something today to help someone know God loves them.

If you wait until you're ready, you'll never do anything. It's all about progress not perfection ✨ So start that project, do that workshop, release that song. Send it out into this world.
That one thing you've always been wanting to do, but haven't done yet because you are afraid that it's not perfect – put it out into the world! If you keep on waiting and waiting and never get the things out, you'll never be able to reach those dreams, or improve the thing. The first things you put out in the world – whether that be a workshop, a book, a movie, a song, will probably never be 'perfect'. But because of that first piece you put out, you're now able to learn from that first thing and do it even better the next time, and the next. But if you never put it out, you'll never improve and you'll end up disappointing yourself for never having tried.
It's all about progress, not perfection. See everything you do as a learning opportunity. The first time a child walks, it will fall down so many times. But it does not give up. It keeps trying and trying, until it eventually one day walks.
But so many people nowadays give up so easily, if they feel like they are 'failing'. But there is no such thing as failure, there is only learning that is a spring board for you to become even better.
"If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of your lives"
– Lemony Snicket
Take this as a sign to start that project. Send it out into the world. Begin it, and don't worry about it being perfect. Rather worry about it never reaching the world. Make it, send it out, learn from it and see what amazing things will come your way once you start to send out your creations ✨

When it comes to the season of giving, you might find some people are just too hard to buy for. Maybe they already have everything, or they will never tell you what they want for a gift. If you are struggling for ideas, sometimes an experience is more appreciated than a material item. Here are some experience ideas that you might not have thought of:
Wine tasting
If you know someone who loves their wine but you don't want to simply buy them a bottle of their favorite, why not buy them a wine tasting experience instead? They can sample new wines, learn about their history and how they were made and have a great time enjoying the experience.
Cooking Class
For the foodie who always says 'I wish I could cook this myself', a cooking class for their favorite type of cuisine can help them to learn how to re-create their favorite dishes at home. You might inspire them to learn a range of new cooking skills and hopefully they will demonstrate their newfound skills when they invite you round for a meal!
Zipline Ride
Adrenaline junkies in your family will love a gift that's a bit more exciting than their usual sweater or aftershave giftset. There are some great zipline locations across the US, including Camelback Mountain in Pennsylvania, or you can even do one in New York with the New York Zipline Canopy Tours in Hunter. If you want to buy a once-in-a-lifetime experience for someone then a zipline will definitely tick the box.
Psychic Readings
A psychic reading could be a good gift idea for friends or family who are looking for some insight or guidance in their life. Psychic readings can be emotionally and psychologically rewarding. Having a reading can bring some clarity and answer some burning questions that could be playing on their minds. If they like it, you may be buying the gift of an activity that helps them regularly.
Dining Experience
Another idea that is perfect for the food lovers in your life, a dining experience could put a big smile on their face when you gift it to them. From seven-course taster menus to dining on a river cruise, any experience involving delicious food is bound to go down a treat. Even vouchers for their favorite restaurant will show that you have really thought about what they enjoy the most.
Escape Rooms
If you are thinking of what you can buy a group of people then maybe you could provide them with a set of escape room experiences. Anyone who loves a good challenge and likes to have fun with their friends and family will appreciate a gift like this. There are loads of different escape room activities that are suitable for people of all ages and tastes, so this is an activity for everyone.
Hopefully that will have given you plenty of gift experience ideas that will suit the range of different people in your life. You can't buy a better gift than one that creates special memories.

Kidderminster has some good options for anyone who needs addiction treatment. As well as the medically best options for treatment for alcohol and drug problems there are also self-help options as well.
In most situations the best solution will be for the individual to choose a combination of medical options (for example rehabilitation clinics) combined with some type of self-help group (for example Alcoholics Anonymous).
By mixing different options it can mean that those looking for addiction help in Kidderminster will have the best type of support.
It can be tempting for the individual to believe that they do not need any help in order to overcome their addiction. They may even know other people who managed to become sober without any kind of formal assistance.
While it is true that some individuals do manage to break away from addiction without too much help these people tend to be in the minority. If the person has already tried to end their addiction many times alone but failed then this would indicate that a new approach may be required.
The underlying reason for why many individuals refuse addiction help is that they are dealing with terminal uniqueness. They feel sure that they are a special case and so they will not need the support of anyone else. It is called terminal uniqueness because this type of thinking can get people killed.
Those individuals who are serious about ending their addiction would be better off making the best use of available resources. It is better to have too much support in recovery than it is to have too little.
No matter what type of recovery resource the individual chooses it will still be up to them to end the addiction. Even the best rehabilitation centres in the world will not be able to make an unwilling person sober. These resources can be a vital tool but they are only valuable if the person is able to make the most of them.
When people are fully committed to sobriety then the chances are very good that they will enter lasting recovery. The fact that the individual is combining their willingness with the available resources for recovery means that they are giving sobriety an even higher chance of taken hold.
This means that the person can now begin to enjoy the benefits of their new life. It is important to have realistic expectations but great things can happen when people get sober.
The decision to ask for help with ending a recovery is unlikely to be soothing that the individual ever regrets. It is a sign that they are serious about beginning this new chapter in their life because they are not just talking about it but getting the help they need. This type of decision is actually empowering because the individual is taking charge of their own life.
If the individual is going to enter alcohol or drug addiction centres then it is vital that they have the willingness and capacity to be honest. If they are not able to be open about their life and thinking, it will be unlikely that they will be able to get much out of the experience.
The reasons for why honesty is some important in rehab include:
If people keep on doing the same things they will keep on getting the same results. This seems to be a law of nature, and it has even been suggested that insanity means repeatedly doing the same thing but expecting different results each time.
If the person return home to their old life they are very likely to relapse back to addiction. They need to do things different or they risk getting more of the same. Some of the things to consider in this regard would be:
Rehab 4 Addiction is an organisation offering counselling and referral services to addicts and their families in Kidderminster. We work with private clinics offering drug and alcohol treatment programmes on a residential basis. We also advise clients regarding outpatient rehab services.

With free-will comes both responsibility and strength. You have the power within yourself to shape your destiny with your words. I believe that speaking life all comes down directly to your attitude. You can't always control your circumstances or surroundings. Bad things happen to good people sometimes. You can, however, control your attitude towards these situations. Your attitude will be either an asset, or a liability. There is no in-between.
In every aspect of life, attitude is key. The attitude that you have walking into the office today will determine your level of success tomorrow. The attitude that you hold towards school work, chores, your career, your significant other, or difficult times will play either a positive or negative role in your life.
An attitude can be wordless. You don't need to necessarily voice your opinions or frustrations for it to be felt. An attitude can not only plague your mind, but infect the minds of those around you as well. It is felt without being spoken.

Prof. Anil Raina, Chairperson and Dr. Vipnesh Bhardwaj, Hony. Secretary Chandigarh Chess Association (CCA) called on Shri Pawan Kumar Bansal, Member Parliament and Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs & Water Resources on Sunday to seek his valuable support for the cause of inclusion of the game of Chess in the Sports Gradation List of UT Chandigarh. They requested Shri Bansal to impress upon the UT Administration to examine the issue empathetically.
During the interaction with Shri Bansal, Prof Raina informed the Minister that perhaps Chandigarh was the only UT/state in the country where Chess did not form a part of the Gradation List of the sports department. He also apprised Shri Bansal of the fact that Chess was in the 'Priority A' category of the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports and it has already been provided Gradation by the Punjab Government. In Tamil Nadu, Chess has been included in the regular school curriculum, they informed.
Dr Bhardwaj informed the Minister of the various problems being faced by the chess players of the city due to non-gradation of Chess in the city. CCA also provided the Minister a copy of the Memorandum signed by nearly 85 parents of the chess players of the city.
It was brought to the notice of the Minister that Chandigarh has a large pool of very promising chess players, who were, unfortunately moving over to other games due to the fact that Chess did not find a place in the Gradation List of UT Chandigarh. He was also informed that Indian players were consistently bagging international medals in this game, which is now played in over 160 countries of the world.

RABAT (Reuters) – A man ran towards a car carrying the Moroccan king shortly after the arrival of Pope Francis in the North African nation on Saturday, but he was swiftly seized by security guards, live TV footage from the state broadcaster showed.
King Mohammed VI was standing up in the open-top car waving at crowds lining a street in Rabat, travelling in a motorcade alongside the pope's vehicle. The king's car sped up slightly but there was no other sign of disruption.
It was not immediately clear what the man was trying to do.

The Axion is a weapon in the Revenge of the Fallen game.
The Autobots gave the weapon to the humans, so they could protect themselves better against Decepticons. The Axion weapon itself is a big gun, able to create a shield around it so it can't be damaged.
Note: Though the Axion weapon resembles much of the looks of the Rail gun, it is unknown if it is the same weapon.
- In the Autobot campaign it was the mission of the Autobots to protect this weapon while it was transported by a truck. In the Decepticon campaign it was te mission of the Decepticons to destroy this weapon, now fully active.

And therein lies the problem. Everyone can talk about the funny spam they got -- but only if they read their spam. Looking through the spam for those nuggets of unintentional humor defeats the purpose of teaching people to use their spam filters and to delete spam without opening it. When we get more people reading spam, several bad things happen. People become more likely to read malicious messages with Microsoft software and become infected with spyware or worse. People validate their email addresses with the spam server by downloading "image bugs", which means they get more spam themselves, contributing to the general increase in spam. People will accidentally click on links in spam messages they opened because they were looking for humor. Worst of all, some people will actually be suckered into giving a spammer money.
A secondary problem is that when people see spam as a form of entertainment, they forget that they should be outraged about the way a few freeloading parasites are destroying electronic mail, the oldest and I would say the most socially useful part of the whole Internet.
Thus, the trend of blogging about funny spam messages actually tends to make the problem worse. Each individual blogger who does it is helping the spamers and hurting the Net. In a really small way, to be sure, but the really small things we each do can add up to a lot.
When I started to think this was becoming a trend, and realized that I wanted to speak out against it, I tried leaving responses to the "look at the funny spam" posts saying more or less what I've said here. For the most part, I've been ignored, except for a time or two when I've succeeded in making the blogger mad at me. People don't like to be told what they can and can't write about, and while I never thought I was telling people they couldn't make these posts, some people took it that way. (There's a subtle but vital difference between trying to persuade someone to come around to my way of thinking, and just trying to make them do what I want. It's all too easy for what I mean as the one to be taken as the other.) So I'm trying to talk about it in my own blog.
I think there may be an issue of an assumption of how savvy people are here. I don't think the people who I've seen actually writing these blog entries are the kind of people that will be victimized in major ways (although there is always a hazard of accidentally clicking on something if you open the message at all). They may feel that I'm insulting their Internet intelligence or geekiness by bringing it up, because of course they know better than do do anything but laugh. But the trouble with a fad -- if it becomes one -- is that it's not just my friends, who are pretty smart, who are involved, or even my friends' friends, who are probably still pretty smart, it's all those leet-speaking teenagers that give LiveJournal a bad name. We're not very many degrees of separation from those people, and some of my friends who I'm talking about are people I think of as opinion leaders: If they do it, it is the cool thing to do, and it will spread.
Can I get some feedback from the world at large on this? Have I gone off the deep end? Am I tilting at windmills? Or do I actually have a point? If I do have a point, how can I persuade people to stop reading their spam and to stop telling other people how funny it is if they do read it? It's not good for my ego to be ignored, and it's certainly not productive in any way for me to annoy or offend people.

Reading historical documents without understanding the culture and circumstances in which the actors lived, will often lead us to wrong conclusions. This applies to Old Testament, New Testament, and anything written further back than about … two weeks. (Presentism and literalism will be address in another post.)
LDS Challenge
In the LDS church we have a unique challenge.
The Mormon church was founded recently, less than 200 years ago. By religious standards, we are the new kids. At of the time of the "restoration" paper was cheap, literacy was high, and the making and distribution of records was relatively easy. Consequently, the messiness of church-building is well recorded in journals and printed records; mistakes, contention, turmoil, and flaws are readily evident.
Other faith traditions may not have any significant history, since they were established only a few years ago as an isolated congregation. Or, they are ancient organizations whose old problems have become faded and even adopted as part of their historical journey towards a better faith.

Welcome to Fairy Tale Books
My family and I have always been interested in fairy tales. I grew up with fairy tales and as soon as I had children of my own, I started reading fairy tales to them.
Some years ago, we lived in the mountains in Grison, a region in Switzerland. This area has a rich heritage of fairy and folk tales. At that time I discovered the fairy tales of this region. But in my family we also enjoy reading fairy tales from Poland, Russia, Japan, England – and there are many more to discover!
On this website you can find fairy tales from all over the world. Our books contain no illustrations and that has a reason: We believe the best pictures come from one's very own imagination. And they always fit just right.
Reading fairy tales to your family or to yourself is a good way to spend time.
Fairy tales contain a lot of symbolic language and wisdom, and they are entertaining.
We hope you enjoy our fairy tale books!

His score will now be compared with the rest of the United States with the top three scorers heading to the All-Star game in Miami FL in July.
The Run portion consisted of a timed run from second base to home plate at Citi Field (180 feet). The Pitch portion consisted of six pitches from 45 feet at a 17" by 30" target. The Hit portion consisted of three swings off a tee from home plate with a tape measure stretching from home plate straight into center field. Points are deducted depending how wide from the tape measure you hit . Distance is measured from where the ball lands on the fly.
After winning at Citi Field, Zack's score was tabulated against the 30 highest scores from the United States and Canada, with the top three moving on to the all star game in Miami.
Alas, he did not make the final top three.

Dutch coach Thorwald Veneberg was in Japan to scout the course and posted photos on Twitter. While not officially approved NOS reports that this is likely to be the final route.
The second harder climb is similar to the Sibbergrubbe and Eperheide climbs of the Amstel Gold Race with both climbs coming in quick succession on the loop.
Similar to Rio, the start and finish are separate from the loops, on mostly flat roads. Similar to Beijing the start and finish are in different locations. The start consists of a 24km westward trek from downtown Tokyo out to the loop and the finish is 12km away from the loops, west of Tokyo.
Veneberg said on Twitter the route for the Paralympics will be similar but possibly without the climbs.

Ulster University Festival of Art and Design provides a space within which different perspectives and different intellectual and artistic trajectories meet, generate new ideas and new ways of engaging with the world. This shared enquiry and exchange of work by artists, designers, writers and researchers combined with the real contribution and challenge of artistic and cultural practice is tested by other research communities and by wider publics.
UUFAD 2016 was programmed to meet this ambition, to promote dialogue and facilitate exchange across the interconnected themes – gender justice, place and identity. The eighth edition worked in partnership with staff and students from across the University to create a multidisciplinary festival of installations, publications, talks, screenings and exhibitions. The programme hosted artists, designers and cultural practitioners in Belfast, Ballycastle, Coleraine and Derry / Londonderry.
Working closely with the festival organisers, Seed were commissioned to create a number of touchpoints including the Identity/Invites/Programme/Website/Tees/Totes.

Livingston in Spotsylvania County, Virginia — The American South (Mid-Atlantic)
Union Earthworks
Mott's men left the protection of these works later in the day to attack the Muleshoe Salient, three-quarters of a mile ahead. As they emerged into the open fields leading to the Salient, Confederate artillery tore into their ranks. Many of the Union soldiers had just a few days left in their enlistments. Unwilling to risk their lives, they broke ranks and fled back to these works. Grant later remarked that Mott's men "failed utterly."
Two days later, Union troops again advanced from these works, but in much greater force. This time the result would be different.

The beech tree
I'm one of the trees in a big garden.
Trees do not talk?
They do, but Man does not understand
our language of sounds and smells anymore.
I have been here for many decades.
I have seen many generations of children
come to play in and around me.
I like their playing and happiness.
I used to be a tree everyone adored.
Wide branches and thick dark red leaves.
I provided shadow in hot summers.
I provided protection against the wind.
My beauty is less now.
I'm feeling ill and exhausted.
Branches fall off and my leaves are smaller.
The air that I breathe has become polluted.
Chemicals in the air affect my health.
I'm being invaded by all sorts of parasites.
Of all colours, scents and sizes.
They seem to have forgotten the law.
The law of Nature to be respected by all.
They invaded me to become a pest.
They are affecting my health as well.
They seem to care only about themselves.
They do not care they might suffocate me.
They lack the intelligence to know
that a suffocated tree means
that they will cease to exist also.
Why is all of this happening?
Life used to be so beautiful.
Everyone enjoyed being around me.
The parasites have also chased away
many birds and insects living on me.
The parasites are a pest.
They are threatening to kill me.
Unless someone teaches them
to respect the law of Nature again.
I'm old and my life has been full
but I pity future generations.
What will be left for them
when all trees become dead trees?
Surely this cannot be allowed to happen.

A best-friends-to lovers standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan.
She says she needs some help … in the bedroom.
Come again? No, really come again.
Sweet, nerdy, lovable Keaton.
She's my best friend and has been for years. Sure she likes numbers and math, and thinks doing other people's taxes is fun. And I like … none of that stuff. She's obsessed with her cat and reads novels I'll never understand, and yet we just click. There's no one I'd rather share breakfast burritos with or binge watch hours of Netflix. She's my person. And so when she takes off her glasses and asks me to help her improve her skills in the bedroom, I barely have to think about it.
Of course I'll help her. There's no one better for the job.
I've been there for her through everything, why should this be any different?
But what happens when she's ready to take her new-found confidence and move on?
*****Patty's Review*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}
The embers of attraction were always there, I've come to realize. All it took was one little kiss to blow on the ashes and make them roar to life.
LOVE MACHINE is one seriously sexy and even sweet "friends to lovers" romance. It is one of my most favorite tropes but I feel like lately, I haven't gotten enough. From the moment I saw the cover, I was in hardcore lust!! Kendall Ryan has been raising the bar lately with her book covers. Now, I am a really big fan of hers and this woman seems to be a writing machine. It's almost as if every month she has a new release out. So nine times out of ten I end up loving her stories and there was a moment when I thought I was not going to connect with this book.
The two main characters, Slate and Keaton, have been best friends since college. I just thought it odd that neither had ever felt an attraction towards each other until Keaton asks Slate to be her "sex tutor". The roles are reversed in this story. While Slate is a drop dead gorgeous man who gets all the ladies, it is he who ends up falling hard and doing all the pining while Keaton, the nerdy girl, wants to keep the friendship and is not wanting to venture into relationship territory! I really found her to be annoying and extremely frustrating.
While the sexy times are hot as hell, I didn't feel the chemistry between them because of Keaton and her complete blindness to the situation that was developing between her and Slate. It wasn't till I got almost halfway through the book that things started to work for me and boy did my heart melt for Slate. He absolutely made this book for me.
Here are my overall ratings
Hero: 5
Heroine: 2
Plot: 4
Angst: 3.5
Steam: 5
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 3.5
