The racing marriage between Kyle Busch and Toyota turns 500 on Saturday at Michigan International Speedway.
Busch, who has a bevy of firsts for Toyota Racing in NASCAR, is making his 500th NASCAR start for the manufacturer in the CooperStandard Careers for Veterans 200 at MIS. The Toyota Tundra start is the latest in an impressive run for Busch with Toyota that includes Toyota's first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win in 2008, the manufacturer's 100th NASCAR win with a Nationwide Series victory at New Hampshire in 2009 and its 250th NASCAR win with a triumph at Atlanta last season.
Busch's resume' also includes 114 wins in a Toyota across all three major NASCAR series.
Busch, who came into Saturday's race at Michigan a perfect five wins in five Camping World Truck Series starts in 2014, says that 500 starts is just another notch in his belt.
"It just means I've been running too many races," he said. "But, I'm excited about it. It's obviously a bit of a milestone whether you run just Cup races and reach 500 or whether you run all three and you reach 500. There's been a lot of success in-between those 500 starts and yet some heartache as well. It's exciting to have as many wins as I do have across all three series of NASCAR with the Sprint Cup Series, Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series. In those 500 starts, probably about 115 of those are wins in Toyota vehicles."
Of all the milestones with Toyota, grabbing the manufacturers' first win in Sprint Cup with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2008 is right near the top of the list.
"A lot of the milestones mean a lot," Busch said. "The first Sprint Cup Series win for myself at Joe Gibbs Racing as well as Toyota at Atlanta was a big one. My first win in Las Vegas with it being my home race track and watching that place be built and then winning the Nationwide Series championship in 2009. The Bristol sweep and of course sweeping that weekend with wins in all three series in 2010. A bunch of others, too.
"Winning races at Daytona, whether it's been the Shootout in February or the Duel races or even the July race. We've yet to score a Daytona 500 victory, but we've had some success down there as well as many other places as well."
Here's a look at some memorable Busch moments with Toyota Racing:

The world has fallen head over heals with vocal powerhouse Gallant. Since his singing talents have shined on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, it appears that Christopher Gallant is reaching greater fame than anyone could have predicted and continues to do so. Even his most recent efforts display his momentous talent.
Uploaded online to BBC Radio 1 earlier today, Gallant shared a live cover of the song "Closer" by the Chainsmokers and Halsey. Utilizing his extravagant vocal skills, Galant throws his voice high and low while his band plays an instrument-driven rendition of the EDM-pop track. Check out the video of Gallant's cover in the Live Lounge below.
But wait, there's more!
Aside from his cover of "Closer," Gallant was invited on stage to perform his successful single "Weight in Gold" with none other than British music icon Elton John. After a warm introduction from the legend himself, Gallant took the stage and the two sang a duet that was as incredible as his performance with Seal last year. Elton John takes the lead while Christopher dances to the rhythm of his own creation. Then Gallant creeps in for the second verse and finishes with his loud, soulful energy. It's one of those live takes that just captivates viewers watching it live and fans seeing it on the Internet the next day which makes Gallant one of the biggest artists to watch for the next few years.
Check out the performance below and let us know what you think.

I'm trying to follow the single responsibility principle (SRP) in my applications. I have lots of CRUD classes I just name xxxxxManager.
Following the SRP, I made 4 classes for each one :
xxxxxCreator, xxxxxGetter, xxxxxDeleter, xxxxxUpdater
They end up having only one static method : xxxxxCreator::create(Model $model), xxxxUpdater::update(Model $model), etc.
This is a code smell for me. Am I pushing the SRP too far ?

EXCLUSIVE: Mark Wahlberg's Oscar-nominated feature The Fighter is the inspiration for a docu reality series. Wahlberg executive produces the half-hour project, which has received a pilot order from A&E. Inspired by the scene-stealing, big-haired, loud-talking, punch-throwing sisters of Wahlberg's Micky Ward and Christian Bale's Dicky Eklund in Fighter, the untitled Mark Wahlberg Boston Women Project showcases the real women of Boston, featuring the day-to-day life of four of these tough, hard-as-nails women who juggle family, work, and relationships all while remaining true to their way of life. Wahlberg is executive producing through his Closest to the Hole Prods, along with frequent collaborator Stephen Levinson of Leverage, Bill Thompson of Bill Thompson Prods Inc and veteran reality producer Stephanie Drachkovitch of 44 Blue Prods. Filming is slated to begin in a few weeks.

Football: Historic season makes Gateway's Josh Mason the Coach of the Year
The Arizona native took over what could be politely referred to as a reclamation project in 2014.
When Josh Mason began his rebuild at Gateway High School, its football program notched just five wins in the five years prior.
He put the foundation in place for a new era in Woodbury Heights, one few believed possible.
It came to fruition in 2017. The Gators set a school record with wins in an 8-3 campaign and claimed a playoff victory for the first time ever.
For his work at Gateway this season, Mason is the Courier-Post Coach of the Year.
More:TRIBLE: Finally, Gateway's got a winner in town and it starts with Mason
More:St. Joseph is the South Jersey Football Team of the Year
More:All-South Jersey football teams
More:Football: Timber Creek quarterback Devin Leary is Offensive Player of the Year
More:Lenape linebacker Mike Galaida is the Football Defensive Player of the Year
"Anything he says we believe it 100 percent," senior fullback/linebacker Jared Clayton said. "It's kind of like we know no matter what we do, he'll have our back on and off the field. It makes us want to do anything for him."
After a 33-0 blowout of Lindenwold in the opener, a halfback pass beat Deptford 6-0 to put the Gators at 2-0. The next game began to breed a winner – even in defeat.
A touchdown toss in the final moments at Paulsboro lifted the Red Raiders past Mason's club with a 21-14 final.
Hope no longer stood as the connection between preparation and victory. With a close call against the eventual South Jersey Group 1 champs, the unit began to expect success.
"We thought we could be competitive this year, we did," Mason said. "We were really young last year.
"This year, things started to come together with exciting wins at the beginning of the season, and leading Paulsboro until the last seconds. All of a sudden, you could see in the kids' eyes they believed they could win."
They reeled off five consecutive triumphs to close the regular season. None of the results were tighter than 16 points. On Nov. 11, Gateway rolled past Woodstown in icebox temps by a 28-8 count to taste postseason superiority.
"He's done an outstanding job and is deserving of all the honors," defensive coordinator Pete Goetz, a Gator alum and longtime observer of the program, said. "He put so much into it with everything he's done from summer practices, workouts and just keeping the kids involved.
"It was a great honor for him to be the first coach to have that playoff win."
The inaugural bracket advancement came in a manner well suited for the man who turns 39 years old on Sunday. A punt return for touchdown and defensive stand inside the 10-yard line were seminal moments in the game.
They hearkened back to his attention to detail.
"He invests so much time into defensive things and put a lot of time in that week just into containing Woodstown and our kids see that," Goetz said. "They see he's so into it so that's definitely a huge thing. He also puts a lot of time in on special teams.
"Those two plays kind of exemplified our team."
The Monday prior to that clash, Mason saw what he'd hoped when he took the reins.
"It was the most exciting day of the year," he said. "Seeing the kids, how hungry they were and asking questions.
"I remember telling the coaches, 'We've got them. They're in.' I think we'll always have that next year from game one, which is really exciting."
Clayton, a force on the squad that prided itself on a relentless ground game and sturdy defense, regarded open communication as a key component to his leader's approach.
"Most of us have been with him since he got here," Clayton explained. "We've seen him every single day, we talk all the time and we have a good connection with him."
Mason takes pride in those relationships.
"The kids will listen once they know you care about them," he said. "I know it sounds phony but we let the boys know we care about them all the time.
"They made it fun to get up and go to work and to practice every day. Winning creates positivity."
There wasn't much of that before he arrived.

What's the Update?
We wanted to tell you about a new landing page we've set up, which you can find on www.ReAgent.com. It's a clear page that visitors can arrive on and browse the selection of new websites we've recently built.
Visitors to the page can see all of our websites in one simple navigation and be directed to their own country's site, so they can continue to browse our services and get in touch with us.
Why have we set up the Landing Page?
On the landing page, you will find links to the new websites we recently set up that are hosted in different countries throughout the EU. We now have 14 chemical manufacturing websites to cater for European customers.
We made this move as part of a brand new project that will see us expanding across Europe and offering our chemical manufacturing services to new countries.
You'll notice that most of our websites are presented in the English language, apart from one of the Netherlands sites. This is because we chose to translate our website into Dutch during the first phase of our international expansion and found that we were still receiving many enquiries in English, as this is such a widely spoken language across the world.
ReAgent.com will serve as a multi-national, generic landing page for any visitor that may or may not have come across our company before. They will easily be able to locate their desired site and browse our services.
We can't wait to receive some enquiries from Latvia, Poland, Belgium and the rest of our target countries! It will be interesting to find out what the demand for chemicals is in places other than the UK. If we find that we're receiving lots of enquiries in one particular language, then you can expect some news about another exciting website translation!

From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
Related e
Accidental incest is incest that is committed by two partners who do not know they are biologically related. It can occur when two people who are unaware of their biological relationship become sexually intimate. When two related people meet as adults, and become sexually attracted, it is known as genetic sexual attraction.
A common cause is believed to be artificial insemination with donated sperm. Since sperm donation is often anonymous, many people conceived by donated sperm are unaware of biological half siblings they have. The likelihood of accidental incest is kept low by having doctors each use a minimal number of sperm from each donor. Some countries have laws limiting the number of children a donor can father in order to reduce the likelihood. Taiwan allows those conceived by artificial means to receive testing to determine if they are related to a person they are considering marrying.
Other causes may include:
- Family members separated at birth
- Child abandonment
- Sexual exploration
- Alcohol abuse
Notable cases
- In 2008, it was reported that a British brother and sister who were twins separated at birth married without knowing of their relationship. According to the report, the relationship was discovered soon after their wedding, and the marriage was annulled. The case has raised the issue regarding whether adoptions should be kept secret. Concerns have been raised however about whether the story is in fact true.
- Although not exactly accidental, a famous German case has opened doors to the legalization of accidental incest. Patrick Stübing has had four children with his sister Susan Karolewski whom he met as an adult, serving prison time in Germany where incest is illegal.
Mythology and fiction
- In the classic Athenian tragedy Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, Oedipus, king of Thebes, is told by a prophet that he will murder his father and marry his mother. Oedipus considers the possibility ridiculous and argues vehemently with the prophet. His wife Jocasta, widow of the former king Laius, urges Oedipus to ignore the prophet, reminding Oedipus that Laius was actually killed by bandits at a crossroads on the way to Delphi. It is eventually disclosed to Oedipus that as a baby he had been given up for adoption in an attempt to evade the prophecy that he would one day kill his own father. Oedipus suddenly realizes that the prophecy had indeed been fulfilled: he had quarreled with some travelers at a crossroads and slain them. One of them, he realizes, was Laius, his biological father whom he had never known, and that by marrying Laius' widow Jocasta, he had married his biological mother. Jocasta hangs herself and the despairing Oedipus also intends to commit suicide, but eventually takes pins from the dress of his dead wife and uses them to poke out his eyes.
- King Arthur was seduced by Morgause, his half sister and fathered Mordred. Since he did not know Morgause was his half sister at the time (Arthur was raised away from his parents by Sir Ector), it can be considered accidental.
- Moll Flanders unknowingly marries her half-brother, and has children by him.
- In the play Andorra by Max Frisch, Andri falls in love with his half-sister (whom he then thought his full sister) Barblin. His mother tells them upon finding out, according to common belief at the time, that he is a rescued Jewish boy from the country of the Blacks and merely adopted, whereupon the two get engaged. The father, teacher Can, forbids their getting married, not giving any reason, because the rescue story is a disguise and Andri really is the fruit of an affair of his with a Black woman. Thus, to Andri he becomes implausible in his tolerance for the Jews and causes a crisis of identity in him, triggering a good part of the plot.
- Túrin Turambar and Niënor Níniel in The Lay of the Children of Húrin (Narn i Chîn Húrin) by J. R. R. Tolkien
- In the original Star Wars trilogy, the early relationship between twin siblings Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa (who were separated in order to hide them from their father Darth Vader and his master Emperor Palpatine) has the potential to becoming accidental incest but Leia's relationship with Han Solo prevents this. However because of the implications it is became subject to both fan fiction and parody. Robot Chicken parodies the idea in a sketch in which Luke and Leia are seen in a bed after apparently having sex, with Leia saying "This is so wrong." In Family Guy's parody of Return of the Jedi, when Lois/Leia tells Chris/Luke she always knew that they were siblings in response to Luke's admission they are siblings, shocked Luke questions her further she replies saying "I'm from Alderaan, its kinda the Mississippi of the galaxy."
- In the Family Guy episode, "Halloween on Spooner Street" while playing spin-the-bottle at a Halloween party, Meg (dressed in a sexy kitty costume) and Chris (dressed as Optimus Prime) accidentally make out in a pitch black closet. When the closet is opened and can see each other, they become repulsed at what they had done, saying they had already done so much. In Valentine's Day in Quahog, Stewie travels back in time to the 1960s to see what love was like and falls for a baby girl. Opening up, he kisses her but is repulsed when he discovers she is in fact Lois, to the point of vomiting.
- In All My Children, Erica Kane nearly seduces her half-brother Mark Dalton until she discovers the truth from her mother Mona.
- In a third season episode of House, the team treats a married couple, Jeremy and Tracy, for similar symptoms. During treatment, the couple likens themselves to Romeo and Juliet, as Jeremy's father had forbidden him from becoming involved with Tracy, citing various reasons. When the team is able to diagnose both Jeremy and Tracy of a rare hereditary condition, it is revealed that the true reason Jeremy's father was opposed to their union was an affair he had had with Tracy's mother, which resulted in Tracy's birth, thus making them half-siblings.
- In the sixth season of NCIS, the "Heartland" episode begins with a savage assault on two corporals, killing one and leaving the other, Corporal Ethan LaCombe, seriously injured. The NCIS investigation takes the team to Stillwater, Pennsylvania, which happens to be Gibbs' home town. A powerful local industrialist, Charles Winslow, has been strongly opposed to LaCombe's interest in his daughter, Emily, which suggests that he might be in some way connected with the assault. DNA tests intended to help identify his assailant disclose a shocking fact: LaCombe is actually Charles Winslow's biological son. He opposed LaCombe's love interest with his daughter because, as only he knew until the NCIS investigation found it out, they were actually brother and sister.
- On the American television series Perception, the fourth episode of the second season, "Toxic", features two teenagers who were revealed to have been having an affair, against their parents wishes, due to the fact that, unbeknownst to them, they were half siblings. The girl being the result of an extramarital affair between her mother, and the boys father. The series main character, neuropsychiatrist Doctor Daniel Pierce, explains the situation as being the result of Genetic sexual attraction by name, and infers that the Westermarck effect, which he does not name, would normally prevent it.
- In the Dollanganger series by V. C. Andrews, Christopher and Corrine, the parents of the main character Cathy and her three siblings, are revealed to have been half-uncle and niece, but never learn that they are also half-brother and sister. Corrine's father, Malcolm, is Christopher's older half-brother by the same father. Christopher's mother, Alicia, was later raped by Malcolm and became pregnant with Corrine. To prevent a scandal, Corrine was passed off as the child of Malcolm and his wife, and told that she is simply Christopher's niece. When they met for the first time as teenagers, they fell in love and eloped after their relationship was discovered. They eventually married and had four children together by the start of Flowers in the Attic.
- In King of the Hill Joseph Gribble is revealed to have a half-sister, due to his mother, Nancy Gribble's, affairs with John Redcorn, who also cheated on her around the time with another woman, thus giving birth to his half-sister Kate, the two share a brief relationship, although do not share anything sexually.
- In the series The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, Jace Wayland and Clary Fray fall in love before their father tells them that they are brother and sister. They continue to have a romantic interest, though they do not sleep together. Later, Clary's mother reveals to her daughter (in City of Glass) that Jace is, in fact, somebody else's son but raised by Clary's father. However, as a friend points out, Clary did kiss her biological brother, who had shown a romantic interest in her – knowing full well he was her brother.
- In the film Oldboy, Dae-su Oh is tricked into have sexual relations with his daughter, whom he had been separated from for 15 years and had not recognized.
- In the Konami RPG Shadow of Memories, it is implied in Ending E between protagonist Eike Kusch and his romantic love interest Dana, as the pair are secretly long-lost biological father and daughter who were separated since Dana was an infant in the Middle Ages and then serendipitiously reunited in the present-day due to the time-travelling machinations of the malicious djinn Homunculus.

makefaq is a Python program that creates a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list from a specially formatted text data file. For output, it can can generate either an HTML page, a text file, or a DocBook XML file.
January 28, 2009 - After basically five years of not really working on this project at all, I've decided to revive it a bit primarily as a way to learn about the git version control system and the github repository site. I will be honest and say that I don't know how many actual changes/improvements I'll be making to the code, but I will be making some changes purely to learn about using git. If you have any requests for changes, please feel free to email me.
If you are a git user, the source code is available here: http://github.com/danyork/makefaq/tree/master and the clone URL is: http://github.com/danyork/makefaq.git
(And if none of that made any sense to you, please just skip along down the page and download the source code directly from the links below.)
February 29, 2004 - Release 2.5 is now out with a minor change so that using it with Python 2.3 no longer generates a warning.
February 22, 2003 - FYI, based on: 1) feedback from a number of users who have indicated they are very happy with the current data file format and have no interest in having an XML data format; and 2) my own current lack of time to implement the XML interface, I'm going to put the plans to implement the XML data file format on hold for the moment.
If you like this software, consider sending a postcard.
If you do use the program to generate a publicly available FAQ page, please do send the URL to firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can list it here as another example of the program in action. Examples include:
If you would like previous versions of the software for some reason, they are listed below, along with their release date:
What are the odds that two people interested in building FAQ's for web sites and interested in learning python would both reside in close geographical proximity to each other? Amazingly, Dave and I both lived in New Hampshire, USA, and got to meet face-to-face at a talk Dave gave on PHP in February 2000 for the Seacoast (NH) Linux User Group (SLUG). A picture of the two of us is below. I (Dan) am on the left, Dave on the right... I think perhaps we'll institute a rule that any new contributors need to have a beard! (Just kidding...)

Will Arnett has filed for divorce from funny woman Amy Poehler, according to several reports out Wednesday.
The "Arrested Development" and "The Millers" actor, 43, and the "Parks and Recreation" star, 42, announced their separation in September 2012, ending their relationship after nine years of marriage. Now they've finally moved to formalize the split.
Arnett filed the divorce papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court on April 8, according to People. The actor is requesting joint legal and physical custody of the couple's two sons, Archie, 5, and Abel, 3, as well as visitation rights, the mag and TMZ said.
Arnett and Poehler wed in August 2003 and have appeared in a slew of comedies together, including TV's "Arrested Development" and the movies "Blades of Glory" and "Monsters vs. Aliens." Arnett also made a cameo on "Parks and Rec" in 2010.
Since their separation, Arnett has been linked to Katie Lee, a co-host of Food Network's "The Kitchen" and ex-wife to singer Billy Joel. Poehler has been romantically linked to her costar Nick Kroll.
It was the Golden Globe Awards host's first marriage and Arnett's second. He was previously married to actress Penelope Ann Miller, but the couple divorced in 1995, Us Weekly reported.
Poehler will next appear with gal pal Tina Fey in the upcoming comedy "The Nest." The "Saturday Night Live" alum previously costarred in Fey's 2008 comedy "Baby Mama." Arnett, whose comedy series "The Millers" was recently renewed by CBS, will next appear in this summer's live-action flick, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

The HP Mini 5103 is an excellent netbook. It has strong build quality, pretty good performance and long battery life. It would be even better if it came with a dual-core CPU for the price. A solid-state drive would also make it a killer business device! Luckily, these options are available, so you can choose them if you feel they will be useful.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N475: Upcoming Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated DDR3 memory controller (as the difference to the N470 with DDR2) and GMA 3150 GPU.

MIUi 12 will be coming with some new user interface improvements on the home screen and other places as well. You will see some new icons and new animations as well. As you can see in the screenshot below, the app opening and closing animation have been changed.
MIUI 12 is finally going to adapt the stock navigation gestures from Android 10. Right now in MIUI 11, there is no bar at the bottom and you cannot switch apps by swiping across the bar. I'm sure that Xiaomi will keep its traditional navigation gestures in MIUI 12 so you can use those if you prefer them.
New App Switcher
MIUI 11 came with a newly redesigned app switcher with multiple instances at on one screen. In MIUI 12 there will be new upgrades to the app switcher to give it a new refreshed look. Start with the animation, as you can see in the screenshot, the app switcher launch animation has been changed.
This new animation looks more fluid and smooth, it adds a new look to the interface. The cards are bigger than before and all of them are of equal size now unlike in MIUI 11. There might be new features in the app switcher like a new gesture to launch the app in split-screen view.
New Camera
According to the leaked screenshot of the camera UI in MIUI 12, we can see some changes. The modes are just where they were and you can switch between them by swiping across them. The buttons and UI has become transparent so you can see the complete view-finder.
Upgraded Dark Mode
The MIUI 11 has a dark mode but it lacks some important features and it is not perfect I would say. Xiaomi is going to fix that in MIUI 12 and make it a perfect dark mode with all the features including the schedule and more. There will be a feature darken the wallpaper and there will be a force dark mode as well.
New Notification Manager
MIUI 12 will bring a completely redesigned notification system which will be better than MIUI 11 in a lot of ways. The new notification manager will group the notifications accordingly. It will be in card manner and looks better than a traditional notifications manager.
Wrapping up
These were the upcoming features of the MIUI 12 with all the changes and improvements. Xiaomi may officially announce it after the launch of Android 11R which is already around the corner.

Ladies' Ministry
Our primary goal is to encourage women of all ages, whether married or single, to understand who Christ is, what He has done for us, and by His grace, grow together in godly knowledge and wisdom. How do we do this? We desire and challenge women to think biblically about their roles and priorities as wives, mothers, sisters in the Lord and above all, servants of the Most High God;
"the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed." (Titus 2:3–5)
Through sound biblical teaching, whether it is in group Bible studies, personal discipleship, informal fellowship, retreats, conferences or seminar events, we desire to equip and encourage women to be obedient to the Lord, faithfully using their spiritual gifts and building others up in love;
"but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." (Ephesians 4:15–16)
At Ladies of Grace, we look forward to the study of God's revealed Word to show us stellar examples of the type of humble, godly women that Christ would have us become for His glory. Under the authority of our eldership both in what we teach and how we approach this ministry, we understand that God is sovereignly working to bring us to spiritual maturity, preparing our hearts for the testing and trials, and providing great joy in living and serving one another in Christ.
We hope you will be able to join us as we pray, study God's Word, and grow together by the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.

Australia Says Trade Agreement With Indonesia on Track Despite Israel Comments
by Reuters and Algemeiner Staff
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Wednesday a billion-dollar free trade agreement with Indonesia will be signed this year, despite Indonesian concern over an Australian proposal to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
Morrison said on Tuesday he was open to Australia moving its mission from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, as the United States did in May to the delight of Israel but to the fury of Palestinians.
Morrison's willingness to reverse decades of foreign policy and follow the US lead alienated many of Australia's Asian neighbor that have close alliances with Palestinians.
It also drew condemnation from 13 Arab ambassadors in Australia who called the suggestion regrettable and asked Morrison to reconsider, or risk damaging Australian ties in the region.
Related coverage
Morrison, who faces a critical by-election on Saturday that will determine whether his government keeps its one-seat majority, said his government had been assured Indonesia would honor its commitment to the deal worth more than A$16 billion ($11.4 billion).
"There's been direct communication between myself and the president as well as between our foreign ministers and with the trade ministers," Morrison told reporters in Canberra, referring to Indonesia's President Joko Widodo.
"The Indonesian trade minister has made it very clear on the public record that is not an issue of concern to them," he said.
Indonesia is the world's biggest Muslim-majority country, where the Palestinian question is a sensitive issue and tens of thousands protested against Trump's decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, speaking at a news conference with Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki in Jakarta on Tuesday, called on Australia to avoid any step that would threaten efforts to forge peace in the Middle East.
Beef and by-election
The trade agreement, which has been in the works for nearly a decade, offers Australia a chance to boost rural exports, which dominates two-way trade.
Indonesia is a major importer of wheat and beef and bought more than A$3 billion of Australian agricultural commodities in 2017, according to government data.
Fiona Simson, president of Australia's National Farmers Federation, which represents the rural sector, cautioned Morrison against any move that would threaten exports.
The Council of Arab Ambassadors said in a statement issued on its behalf by Egypt's envoy to Australia, said it was very worrying that Morrison would entertain the idea of shifting Australia's embassy.
"Any decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital or to relocate the Australian embassy would legitimize the status quo and affirm Israel's claims to the entire city," it said.
The status of Jerusalem is one of the thorniest obstacles to a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel regards all of the city, including the eastern sector that it annexed after the 1967 Six-Day War, as its capital.
While raising concern among rural voters worried about exports, Morrison's potential policy shift could help his government retain its one-seat parliamentary majority.
Voters in the Sydney electorate of Wentworth will decide on Saturday who will replace former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who quit politics after he was ousted in a party revolt in August.
Wentworth is home to a large Jewish community. Census figures show 12.5 percent of people in Wentworth are Jewish, a larger proportion than anywhere else in Australia.
The candidate contesting the by-election for Morrison's Liberal party, Dave Sharma, is a former ambassador to Israel who was credited with the idea to relocate the embassy.

The complete list of leaked information is below:
-You play as Albert DeSilva a half american half puerto rican american
-He is 42 years old and has an ex wife and 2 kids
– the show breaking bad has a little influence on the game as Albert is drawn to the life of crime from an older age for the money.
-You also play as Dougie Vejo a younger criminal just coming up in Los Santos
-Los Santos is the only large city, smaller towns round out the countrtyside.
– Grove Street makes a return, however Carl and Sweet are not in the game.
-Money plays a large part as Albert lost most of his in a ponzi like scheme.
-Property buying is back
-The only customization for characters are clothes/hair/facial hair. no gyms or tattoos
-one or more characters from 4 may show up
-car customization is back, seems more fitting for Dougie however Albert may be going through a midlife crisis.

Here is a true story, told in the hope that you will forgive CTW for making more comebacks than a boomerang: not ten seconds before I pressed the "Die, die, die!" button and published the very last post at Catching The Waves, one of my lackeys presented a missive, written on vellum, from a devout music fan. I sighed, pawed the letter from the proffered velvet cushion and proceeded to scream.
The letter was from a Robert Nagle, Esq. I dimly remembered some nonsense from six months beforehand, when he had contacted me and announced that he was going to investigate this "free music" mullarkey and see if there was anything worth hearing. If he found something notable, would I be interested in his conclusions? Busy as I was with matters of state, I allowed him to kiss my imperial ring - yes, thank you, that's quite enough of that, my dirty-minded readership - and shooed him away with all the panache of an in-demand haute couturier. Now, here he was again, like an audio-crazed Terminator, to announce that he had listened to 2,200 albums on Jamendo and had picked the best eleven. That's two thousand, two hundred albums, people. Murderers have received less harsh sentences than that.
The only conclusion to be drawn is that Robert is completely off his chump truly dedicated to finding legally free music and that he should be taken to a secure facility and sedated all netmusic fans and artists owe him a debt of gratitude and other clichés. Not only has he written a long article about the eleven worthy albums, cunningly titled 11 Incredible Musicians You Can Download For Free (Best of Jamendo), he has also interviewed all of the artists concerned, thus providing PR manna from heaven - and a quick ego-rub - to people who like to release free music under a CC licence. Kudos, Robert.
And that's not all. Such is his love of the free stuff, Robert has also added additional addenda to his aural adumbration (sorry, my "a" key stuck momentarily) with an appraisal of Jamendo and tips on how to get the best out of it. He also mentions old CTW favourites Professor Kliq, Josh Woodward, Brad Sucks in dispatches and recommends good blogs, i.e. the must-visit Free Albums Galore.
It was absolutely fascinating to peruse the eleven picks and travel from Hungary to Bulgaria to Germany to France to Poland and ever onwards, like a drunk student with an InterRail pass. (The train to America must have been interesting...) Some I knew (Tryad's Listen and Antony Raijekov's Jazz U amongst others) but most I didn't. Some left me stony-faced, others happy. All were worth hearing. I won't bore you with my irrelevant opinions on the albums Robert has chosen, other than to declare that the strongest of the bunch, with apologies to the other worthy candidates, is that old Creative Commons warhorse, Aleksi Virta Meets Torsti At The Space Lounge. Väinö Ala-Härkönen's opus has been out for years, got reviewed up hill and down dale, passed the 42,000 download mark at archive.org, and has its own dogbasket in the CTW household. If you don't know it but are in the market for some trippy, dubby, funky, trip-hop-funk-bigbeat-dub-hop-skip-n-jump-hop, your luck is in. Enjoy...but not on Jamendo, 'cos I can't find it there. I think the internet hates me; I'm just too sexy for it. Take two: enjoy a selected track and ignore the album cover that follows it.
Brrr. Almost as bad as my shaving mirror.
My sincere thanks to Robert for his efforts, which really should be rewarded with a shower of comments at his stimulating website, Idiotprogrammer. My thanks also to Jamendo, which is struggling to make its way through the global downturn, and my best wishes to the fans who are trying to save their beloved tangerine free CC music source.

As Congress debates how to shore up the federal Highway Trust Fund, and perhaps consider a long-term reauthorization of the national surface transportation program, state DOT environmental professionals are asking some extremely challenging questions related to how well transportation departments communicate.
Every state transportation department — along with most county and city transportation departments — have environmental programs charged with ensuring that surface transportation programs meet a host of state and federal regulations from the Endangered Species Act to Cultural Resources. Take a closer look at most state budgets and you might find that the largest environmental organization is the transportation department, which depending on the state or program is probably investing in surface water mitigation, air quality, noise abatement, wildlife enhancements, open spaces, fish passages, litter control, archaeology surveys and cultural resources mitigation. That's just scraping the survey of all that an environmental program might include.
The environment is a major theme and concern for DOTs. Yet, the environmental officials are asking themselves why the public, the media and special interest groups remain collectively skeptical about DOT priorities and motives when it comes to environmental issues?
I did a quick survey of state DOT communication directors last month and asked for examples of the kinds of communication and outreach they have underway related to their environmental programs. With 22 of the 50 states responding, it became clear that state DOTs certainly are talking about the environment. But this is probably a situation in which we can apply the old adage, "It's not so much what you say that matters, but rather what they hear."
The communication programs used a variety of strategies and tactics for their environmental outreach. Web sites, social sharing sites, blogs, news releases, video, photos, newsletters, and behavioral campaigns are all among the tools. There certainly is no shortage of output. Communication programs are churning out the content.
The states relied on roughly five core messages:
* Transportation department is doing the work due to permit/funding
* We're being innovative and that is reducing costs and benefiting the environment
* It takes all of us doing our part to improve the environment
* Benefitting the environment (litter clean up) also benefits the system
* We're doing our part to protect: Roadsides, air, water, wildlife, quality of life
An interesting aspect of the outreach efforts was the lack of clarity in audiences. Most of the strategies and tactics seemed intended for a broad, general audience that most likely included voters and the media. The states did not seem to target their efforts at special interest groups or elected officials. And, only one state seemed to focus primarily on an internal audience, where knowledge of environmental programs and priorities is probably most needed.
It is important that state DOT environmental programs find ways to connect and build relationships with their communication teams. While our nation wrestles with significant and challenging issues that include climate change, diminishing natural resources, water quality, shifting transportation preferences and land use patterns — the transportation department is usually at the table as a key stakeholder.
They will most effectively tell that story by reflecting the values and priorities of their elected officials, special interest groups and the general public. That, in turn, should result in increased credibility and trust, which is always the foundation for continued investment in a successful transportation agency and national surface transportation program.

Einstein‐Podolsky‐Rosen (EPR) correlations between human brains are studied to verify if the brain has a macroscopic quantum component. Pairs of subjects were allowed to interact and were then separated inside semisilent Faraday chambers 14.5 m apart when their EEG activity was registered. Only one subject of each pair was stimulated by 100 flashes. When the stimulated subject showed distinct evoked potentials, the nonstimulated subject showed "transferred potentials" similar to those evoked in the stimulated subject. Control subjects showed no such transferred potentials. The transferred potentials demonstrate brain‐to‐brain nonlocal EPR correlation between brains, supporting the brain's quantum nature at the macrolevel.
Keywords: evoked potentials, transferred potentials, human nonlocal communication, EPR correlation

This article provides a free solution on how to decrypt Locky ransomware. Follow the steps in this guide to restore .locky files
This is trojan-ransomware: an infection is delivered by a trojan that then communicates with its C&C server (command and control) to download the ransomware. It is important to detect Locky at this stage, if it enters. Once inside the operating system the ransomware executes, changing certain Windows files and drivers, then it starts to encrypt user files. The key – un-cracked at present – is only available from the hackers in return for a ransom payment (currently 0.5 – 1 Bitcoin or $400 US). Another task the ransomware undertakes is to try to delete VSS files (shadow copies) preventing file retrieval from system backups. It has been described as 'well designed' malware and incorporates some relatively new features: it locates and encrypts Bitcoin wallets if the user has one, making the ransom even more important for some people. It also encrypts network shares leading possibly to major disruption for unprepared businesses (see prevent section below). This is thought to be only the second ransomware (along with DMA Locker) to use this feature and backs up the evidence that hackers are increasingly targeting commercial networks for greater profit.
Last year, a shift was seen to start in the infection numbers of small-to-medium-sized businesses that, in some ransomware, accounted for almost 50% of victims. This is one example of an increasingly progressive strain of ransomware variants that can cause a great deal of trouble – users should take all precautions to stop Locky entering a system or network as dealing with the infection is much more difficult than its prevention. If a recent (external) file backup has not been made, carry out this task as soon as you've read this article.
The Locky ransomware was launched in February this year, and initially thought to have targeted 400 000 computers. This was assessed as a trial run as infections have increased dramatically in the last week. Researcher Kevin Beaumont estimates that between one to five computers are being infected every second, making this what has been described as a 'major cybersecurity incident'. These figures come from monitoring traffic around some of the C&C servers that the hackers are using to deploy the ransomware. It hasn't been possible to take down these servers at present because of the complex and evasive way the system is designed to run.
Trojan-ransomware is delivered by several routes. It can come as part of a bundle of freeware that is downloaded and installed without the user looking at the contents beforehand. There is a risk from infected links such as fake pop-up ads for freeware updates. Exploitation kits can target vulnerabilities in a system or its apps whilst browsing on compromised/dubious 'sites. Manual hacks can be employed targeting undefended network or remote access points. Using external devices that are unwittingly infected can introduce the malware. And there is the spam 'mail method which is employed in the delivery of the Locky ransomware. This involves a piece of 'mail that is carefully crafted to appeal to the user to open it (cases of language/geographical/commercial tailoring to certain targeted groups of users have been observed). A seemingly legitimate or official document will have an incentive for the victim to a link or attachment that will install the trojan if clicked on. In some e-mails, the text may look like unreadable code, and you will be requested to enable macros to read it in plain text – doing this will install the trojan.
As this bug has network encryption capabilities (capable of encoding shared files over large networks), it only requires one fake e-mail to slip into a weak system and be executed for data chaos to ensue. It is vital – and perfectly possible – to block Locky and other ransomware infections.
Detecting and dealing with Locky ransomware
Ransomware is designed to evade all but the most stringent or specific scans and different specimens vary in this ability. Many security suites will not detect an infection from a new variant until it has been recognized and its signature is programmed into the software's data-base for reference. It is important if infected to identify and terminate Locky as soon as possible – this can minimize data loss and make recovery more successful if its deletion of backup files is halted. There are manual signs that users can be on the lookout for that may indicate the presence of malware: unprompted internet connections being made and unusually increased levels of activity at ports; higher CPU usage than normal – so slower than normal operating speeds; freezing of display momentarily and programs crashing. If these signs are noticed, then all network and internet connections – wired or wireless – should be disconnected. If no external file backup is available, make one immediately though ensure that all files have their original extensions. If there are any changed or questionable extensions, place in a separate folder. Check any networked links for infection. See below for instructions to eradicate Locky. If files need recovering, first try Previous Versions, or if this doesn't work use the Shadow Explorer software (see windows.microsoft.com for details).
How to decrypt Locky ransomware and restore encrypted .locky files?
Unfortunately, there is no standalone Locky decrypter at this moment. The good news is that leading security researchers are working on making such decrypter. Until a Locky decrypter is done, you may try these steps to decover .locky files:
Method 1: Restore your .locky files using ShadowExplorer
Usually, Locky ransomware deletes all shadow copies, stored in your computer. Luckily, the ransomware is not always able to delete the shadow copies. So your first try should be restoring the original files from shadow copies.
- Download ShadowExplorer from this link: http://www.shadowexplorer.com/downloads.html.
- Install ShadowExplorer
- Open ShadowExplorer and select C: drive on the left panel
- Choose at least a month ago date from the date field
- Navigate to the folder with encrypted files
- Right-click on the encrypted file
- Select "Export" and choose a destination for the original file
Method 2: Restore your .locky files, encrypted by Locky ransomware, using File Recovery Software
If none of the above method works, you should try to recover encrypted files by using File Recovery Software. Since Locky ransomware first makes a copy of the original file, then encrypts it and deletes the original one, you can successfully restore the original, using a File Recovery Software. Here are a few free File Recovery Software programs:
Method 3: Restore your encrypted files by using System Restore
- Go to Start –> All programs –> Accessories –> System tools –> System restore
- Click "Next"
- Choose a restore point, at least a month ago
- Click "Next"
- Choose Disk C: (should be selected by default)
- Click "Next". Wait for a few minutes and the restore should be done.
How to prevent Locky ransomware
Remember that preventing Locky and extortion-ware like it is simply a matter of user discipline and an awareness of how malware can be contracted. The first consideration for stopping infections is to maintain an up-to-date system. This includes operating system security patches and ensuring that you're using the latest version of your browser; place browser settings to their highest that still allow access required and warn of hazardous 'site content. Disallow all add-ons, plugins and extensions. Install a good firewall that will cover ALL routes – including remote and networking connections; set this to disallow communication on Tor and I2P networks (so that if a trojan does gain entry, it cannot communicate and execute), block unauthorized port use. Get the best security software possible that will carry out in-depth scans. For good measure, make backups as regularly as possible to external storage.
The next consideration is settings, or privilege. On a network of any size – family or business – do not use the Administrator log-in for general use, or stay logged-in for longer than necessary in this capacity. It's safer to give the username/password to everyone who may need it with the instructions to log-off when a task is completed. Allow strictest Admin privileges that still enable the network to function (see the Microsoft website for more detail on this).
The easiest element of prevention is good working practice – though perhaps this is sometimes the most difficult to enforce or adhere to. Bear in mind the delivery routes mentioned above. In the case of the e-mail delivery threat, depending on a system, set 'mail to highest security. Ensure that all users are aware of the risks of opening unsolicited 'mail. Disallow ActiveX (macro) function for all Microsoft Office applications. Find a method to filter incoming containing attachments and preview if neccessary by left-clicking and viewing Source in Properties which will supply the body of the text and display any hidden attachments without actually opening the file (DO NOT preview in Print Preview, as this can execute some malware).
Stay organized and up-to-date – don't let this current threat know your business!

We accept
Skirt season is upon us. For those who prefer a little glow, instructions follow.
Written By Jess Basser Sanders
Photographed in the studio with VIOLET GREY
After a winter spent hibernating in pants and tights, your legs may have taken on a spooky pallor. To reintroduce them to society — and daylight — without scaring children and skittish pets, an application (or two) of self-tanner is in order.
Below, Kira Nasrat, makeup artist at VIOLET GREY's flagship boutique (and the woman behind the flawless visages of Jamie Chung, Margot Robbie and Olivia Thirlby), offers her simple three-step guide to achieving perfectly bronzed limbs in mere minutes.
Instantly Bronze Legs
To ensure your tan turns out even and streak-free, first you'll need to slough off any dry winter skin (think of it as prepping the canvas). In the shower, squeeze a quarter-sized amount of La Prairie Gel Body Exfoliator into your palm and apply onto leg in broad, circular strokes. Repeat with other leg. When exiting the shower, take care not to dry off completely.
Lock in residual moisture with Rodin Luxury Body Oil, a rich blend of essential oils that absorbs completely into the skin. Pay special attention to areas prone to dryness like the knees, ankles and the edges of your heels. If not adequately hydrated, they can over-absorb the tanning formula and look dark and blotchy.
Self-tanning can be an admittedly messy business. To avoid sullying the floor or staining your hands, stand on a towel and slip on a pair of disposable gloves or mitts. Pump a dollop of St. Tropez's One Night Only Instant Glow Body Lotion (Nasrat praises the quick-dry formula for delivering immediate subtle, just-back-from-the-beach color) into your palm. Use a mirror to ensure even coverage and no missed spots and apply in broad, even strokes, working from the feet up. Note to commitment-phobes: the color washes off easily with soap and water.

The world is now at the point you would expect it to be before the imminent arrival of the Kingdom of God. Problems have grown worse, as if they were on a clock ticking toward Christ's Return. Every corner of the globe is experiencing turmoil, with no solution in sight. There are individual problems that are too much for man's governments to solve—let alone solve so many, and at the same time!
Millions keep New Year's without knowing why—or where it originated. While some question its observance, most see nothing wrong with such a celebration.

Kaplan, A. (1964). The conduct of inquiry: Methodology for behavioral science. San Francisco: Chandler Pub. Co.
Kaplan describes Methodology in this chapter and breaks it up into four sections which all build off one another. In this first section he highlights the subtle difference between logic-in-use and reconstructed logic. The second section he contrasts logic versus psychology. The third section reviews the task of methodologies and the chapter is wrapped up by summarizing "scientific methods" used in behavioral science.
The autonomy of inquiry is described in the chapters as a pursuit of truth. Anything or anyone that is not part of the pursuit itself has no accountability to it, hence why it is autonomous. While there are definitely distinct sciences, there is a connection between all of the various sciences. These connections are due to shared techniques, concepts, laws, data, models, theories and even explanations. Scientists who often focus, or "belong to" a specific field could find themselves could find themselves accidentally stumbling upon a discovery/encounter. Logic is what every scientist strives or aspires for. While this may be the case the author poses the confusion between logic being what validates scientific processes or validated by the process. Regardless logic is often seen as how we think, while Psychology is seen as how we ought to think. It is a classic contrast of norms versus description. The differences are often seen in scientific studies and the methodologies taken. While some may argue about a logical place to begin the experiment, others may argue the most sensible place to begin gives us a direction to follow. Methodology is described in this chapter as the description, explanation and justification of the methods. There are specific techniques used for each particular scientific field and limitations are associated with each one. Scientific method is not technically "defined" by the author as he concedes no one definition would give a reader the true grasp of the term. When this term is specific enough to be of use in methodology, it cannot be generalized for other scientific areas. While this too has various techniques unique to its design, there are dilemmas, which pull this process in opposite directions. Some of the dilemmas described are: search for data vs. formulating a hypothesis, construct theories vs. performing experiments, general vs. specific focus, etc… The significance of "scientific method" is that data found in behavioral sciences are actions performed in perspectives, which give it meaning.
- More and more educators are incorporating interdisciplinary techniques in instruction, but how can this important skill be utilized in leadership and researched based education fields?
- In the contrast between how we think and how we ought to think, how does this idea play a part in education? Does it enhance or hinder our progress?
- What connections are there between "psychologism" and the silos created in K-12/HE?
- How is the concept of "the drunkard's search" used in the creation of Ed policies or Ed research?
- The accidental discovery of the X-ray came about because of a happy accident, what happy accidents have you found in your educational careers?

Having been blown away by the charm of I Think I Saw You on the Street, Mechanisms…comes not exactly as a shock but does wonderfully illustrate how diverse a band can be without radically changing their sound. The same delicacy, the same gentleness, the same understatement also inhabits this song but somehow the music makes you look at the band differently and where there was previously space and innocence is now sultry groove and experience.
Blending smooth soulfulness and drifting dream-pop with R&B sass and a wonderful trip-hop downbeat vibe, just by taking a slight step to the left, sonically speaking, MARBL move between musical worlds. But the same audience who revelled in I Think I Saw You on the Street are the same audience who will lap this up too, that's what is so great about the way they operate. They seem to be musical shape shifters, look at the band in one light and they have changed out of all recognition, look again and they are exactly where you left them last time around. How do they even do that?

It might surprise you to learn that the first electromechanical automotive airbag system was invented way back in 1968. It might also surprise you to learn that newer airbags are not necessarily be safer than earlier versions. Why is this?
Although the technology has unquestionably advanced, an airbag only works if it deploys exactly when needed. Unfortunately, even modern airbags occasionally deploy too early or too late or even not at all. But since they are now standard safety devices, drivers can bring lawsuits against automakers if they cars they sell contain defective airbags.
A recent case
When the airbag in her Lexus ES 330 did not fully inflate, Katherine Sprague suffered a dislocated vertebrae in her neck in a 2007 car crash. She later sued the vehicle's manufacturer, Toyota Motor Corp, and was awarded $6.5 million in damages.
Mass recalls
The same carmaker, Toyota Motor Corp., recently announced that it is recalling 885,000 vehicles because they have an electrical problem that could prevent their airbags from working properly. With all these issues, it is natural to question whether airbag safety has actually improved in the past 45 years.

A Phenomenological Study of Computer Science Lecturers: Lived Experiences of Curriculum Design
Document Type
Theses, Ph.D
Available under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 4.0 International Licence
Computer Sciences
Publication Details
A thesis successfully submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) to the Technological University Dublin in 2015.
This hermeneutic phenomenological study presents a description of computer science lecturers' experiences of curriculum design of degree programmes during a time of transition in curriculum design policy, specifically in the context of Technological University Dublin (DIT). It examines the lived experiences of computer science lecturers to highlight the issues and problems relating to lecturers' lived experiences of curriculum design, and it describes how it is to be a computer science lecturer in a time of policy change for curriculum design. The findings are that lecturers have been, and are, struggling to cope with the transition from year-long to semesterised courses, that they feel pressured and overworked, but continue to try to adapt from feelings of professionalism and concern to provide curricula that suit the courses. They feel resentful about the lack of preparation and information that might have been given to them prior to, and during, the change. The literature has suggested that further investigation into the effects of institutional policy change on lecturers ought to be carried out. There have been recommendations for the design of degree programmes in Irish institutes, including DIT and its School of Computing. These recommendations form the basis for the quality assurance of the educational programmes to which they are applied. It follows that any divergence between recommended best practice and the experiences of those designing the curricula has serious implications for the assurance on offer. This study has two parts, conducted using hermeneutic phenomenological assumptions and methodology to collect, analyse and interpret data from semi-structured interview transcripts. The preliminary study involved twelve computer science lecturers. The findings of this work served the context to a more in-depth study of the same participants' experiences. This second study led to findings that describe the computer science lecturers' lived experiences as curriculum designers. Findings relate to conditions and issues of curriculum design, and lead to the identification of implications for groups and individuals associated with third-level education. This research encourages readers to thoughtfully reflect on what is it like for these computer science lecturers as curriculum designers, and become better informed about what happens during the process of curriculum and module design. The full significance of such reflection will ideally promote further questioning and inquiry, in keeping with the provisional nature of phenomenological inquiry.

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, "Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her. [NRSV]
Not only is the first person to preach and proclaim the resurrection a friend of Jesus, it is one of the women. In John's gospel account Mary comes to the grave site alone and in the darkness of the early hours. She sees the tomb opened and unsealed and runs to tell the news. But the news is not Good News with the first look at the empty tomb. It is after the two and more look at what was first a sigh of foul play or bad news, later becomes the greatest of Good News.
There is an Easter message to those who hear for the first time… Come and see that Jesus Lives (Mary First visit)
There is an Easter message to those who have search and found nothing life saving… Go and ask for other Witnesses (Mary Going and only seeing and hearing the emptiness of the tomb)
There is an Easter message for those who have heard but stayed away… Come and help me figure out what happened (Mary asking for others to join the quest/journey)
There is an Easter message for those willing to come back and hang around, even after the show is over… (Mary returns with witness and sticks with it… not giving up even though the first visit was empty) Most folks who come Easter Sunday can join here.
There is an Easter message of new life to SHARE… Well? Get to it! Happy Easter, Christ LIves, Go tell

Preparing for Winter
Fall is a perfect season to be outdoors. We look forward to the delicate lace of the first frost on our russet oak leaves.
When outside be sure to look up. You might catch sight of a raptor, perhaps even an eagle, way up high catching thermals and moving south ahead of the cold.
Birds migrate, reptiles hibernate, and plants go dormant but people carry on through winter. Fall is the best season to prepare for the blizzards and cold wind to come.
A good friend, Jean Perkins, who is a realtor and helped us find and buy Winding Pathways in 2010, has a list of tips on the Skogman Realty website about how to prepare for the cold season. We're passing it on and encourage all our Winding Pathways visitors to prepare their home so it's comfortable and safe in the cold months. Then, they can enjoy all types of weather and seasons.

For a game released in 2016, Square Enix sure are investing more money into it even three years after launch. The company recently announced Final Fantasy XV will be getting four more DLCs in the next year, all of which will provide story.
Square Enix announced four additional DLCs will be coming to Final Fantasy XV in 2019. All of them will be story centric DLCs much like the already existing Episode Prompto, Ignis and Gladiolus. The names of the new episodes are all tentatively titled so much can change in terms of name, but they will all provide an alternate ending to the game's original ending.
The first episode will focus on Ardyn, the game's primary antagonist, and will be titled The Conflict of the Sage. It will focus on Ardyn's past some 2000 years back. Players will finally be able to step into the shoes of the villain, but we can expect the gameplay to be similar, as Ardyn and Noctis have very similar abilities.
Square Enix
A minor side story featuring Aranea Highwind of the Niflheim Empire and her issues with the Empire, and what brought the fall of the Niflheims will be the second episode. Aranea was the bounty hunter in the game who treaded the edge of the sword of morality.
Players will additionally get an episode about Lunafreya's fate titled The Choice of Freedom, will have players take control of Luna and see her mission through as she must help Noctis achieve his goals by appeasing the gods and giving him a chance to prove himself.
Square Enix
Finally, the last episode will be about Noctis himself and his departure from the Astrals, with which he made deals during the game, and going off to fight for the future of his people. The final episode will be titled The Final Strike.
Final Fantasy XV launched originally in 2016 after a 10 year development period. After numerous issues and hiatuses the game finally released and fans were calling it "a beautiful mess". In 2018, the game released on PC
