The long-awaited Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them comes to theaters in November, but before you enroll, you've got some required reading.
The movie, as you know, is a sort of prequel to the Harry Potter series, taking place 70 years before Harry arrives at Hogwarts. Not only that but it's also set in New York, where a whole other magic tradition has led to the establishment of the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA), the American equivalent of the Ministry of Magic.
Still with us? Good.
To help bring us up to speed, author J.K. Rowling has penned a series of four original stories detailing the development of magic in North America and released every day this week on the Pottermore website.
Tuesday's story ("Fourteenth Century – Seventeenth Century") gives us an insight into how Native American magicians operated through the 14th and 17th centuries, using plant and animal magic without wands; in Wednesday's installment ("Seventeenth Century and Beyond"), we discover how the Salem Witch Trials claimed the lives of several innocent witches and wizards, as well as many equally innocent No-Majs, the American word for "Muggles."
Thursday's ("Rappaport's Law") covers a kind of civil war in the magical community, while today's entry ("1920s Wizarding America") brings us up to date, or at least up to the 1920s, when British wizard Newt Scamander (played in the movie by Eddie Redmayne) arrives in New York, carrying a briefcase full of dangerous magical creatures.
In December the teaser trailer gave us a taste of what's to come.
(Don't know about you, but we're getting t-shirts made of the phrase "just a smidge".)
Fantastic Beasts promises a brand-new wizarding world, where the old and new traditions come into conflict. Whereas Harry Potter was rooted very firmly in Britain and British folklore, bringing many a British actor out of retirement (not to mention for a few of them their first big break), this spin-off is populated by an international cast, including Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Ron Perlman, Jon Voight, We Need To Talk About Kevin's Ezra Miller, Katherine Waterston (Steve Jobs) and Dan Fogler (Kung Fu Panda).
Excited? Us too. In the meantime, though, you've got an assignment to do.Read More

Menopause is a natural physiological transformation in the life of every woman, characterised by a substantial reduction of ovarian activity leading to termination of the monthly menstrual cycle.
The term "menopause" comes from the Greek "menos", month, and "pausis", termination; therefore it means "termination of menstruation". A woman is officially considered to be in menopause one year after her last menstruation. The period of one year is based on statistics and relates to most women, but not all: there are, in fact, cases in which the menstrual cycle reappears after 15 – 18 months. The period preceding termination of the menstrual cycle is called pre-menopause and is rich in symptoms; during the following period, however, called post-menopause, symptoms are generally reduced but risk of degenerative diseases still remains (for instance, osteoporosis).

I just finished the HelloWorld_iPhone when i started running it and this error showed up:
Error: No valid iPhone code signing keys found in keychain.
What does this mean? And how can I fix it?
Thanks, Stefan
OK, i have the same problem some minutes ago. What i found is that if you change the configuration of the project to use IOS 6.1 you can select de IOS 6.1 Simulator and runs.
When you create a project for default is created for IOS 7 and i still don't know why we have that problem.
Regards, Jhenier
PD: Any info that you have about this, is going to help me also.
Are you trying to run your program on a device or the simulator? If you're trying to run your program on an actual device, you need to provision your device to be used for development. Apple makes it complicated.
I know about to run your program on an actual device requires to be part of the IOS development program and register the device, etc. But in my case i want to run the program in a simulator, but when is configured for IOS 7 there is no Simulator option and just accepts an Ios Device, or i am missing something?
Well, there are two different problems. I was replying to the original poster. You have a different issue that's not related. But it sounds like you don't have the iOS 7 simulator installed. The easiest way to get this installed is to Open XCode (make sure you have the latest version). Open XCode, and go to Preferences. Select the Download tab. You should see the iOS Simulator in the list of downloads. Select that and download it.
OK i think is all about the Xcode version ( i didn't thought about that) i sill have Xcode 4.6 and you need Xcode 5 for IOS 7 XD. (that is the default version when you create a project for Iphone).
Thanks, really appreciate all the help

We all have responsibilities in the church. We may not draw recognition from other people for our service but God notices all of our efforts.
And as God's children we need to be strong and confident no matter what tactics our enemies might use to intimidate us. Our behavior must never give anyone an opportunity to speak critically against Him.

text: Our roving reporter, who now has her own category, has recently been sassed in the most intense and birdlike manner. She had to share it of course, to pass on this birditude. If you ever get crap from someone, either visualise the picture you are about to see, or just e-mail it to them. It just screams: "What you talkin' 'bout fool?" and "I don't take crap from anyone, especially you!", but then in a lovely, bird-sassy manner. It's almost impossible to be insulted by this adorable ball of fluff, feathers and feistyness.

The age of everpresent internet and social networking doesn't leave people a chance to be alone with themselves. While sometimes, it's simply necessary for keeping peace within yourself, concentrating on some ideas and projects. What are the perks of being a single woman? At the same time, women who intentionally decide to stay single, at least for a while, are judged. But is it really that bad?! Life is showing us that there are undeniable advantages.
1. You're not overloaded with unnecessary information
We are overloaded with information of various kinds we get from TV screens; news agency feeds; and communicating at home, at work, and in public transport. Sometimes it's good to just stop and be in peace and quiet, freeing your mind from unnecessary "files."
2. You have time for hobbies
Inspiration, like true masterpieces, is born in solitude. It doesn't matter what it is – a new song, artwork, or hair product. Only later people find out about them.
3. You start to think clearly
Having given yourself time to analyze some events, including realizing or not realizing your own desires, you start to think clearly and reasonably and express your thoughts better.
4. Your stress level decreases
When there are no expectations connected with your appearance, there is no disappointment; anxiety and worries just leave.
5. It boosts your efficiency
You are able to focus on carrying out your tasks better and the absence of distractions gives you more motivation and energy for work.
6. You can wear whatever you want
You can always wear clothes you like and feel comfortable in without caring about fashion trends or what other people think.
7. You can watch your favorite movies and TV shows
People's tastes may be different; therefore, it's better to go to see your favorite film alone for the 10th time rather than watch one boring football match.
8. You can cook your favorite food
Cooking food is a special ritual which you get fully immersed in. Especially if it's your favorite food. And you definitely don't want to see dissatisfied faces of people who don't find it tasty.
9. You can be yourself
You don't have to think of topics you could discuss while having dinner, enduring uncomfortable silences when you don't like the people you're talking to and with whom you have no desire to communicate.
10. You can choose any partner
Enough said.
We hope we managed to convince you that a single woman is a self-sufficient individual who always has things to do; she's an interesting and passionate person. What do you think?

Ancient Cities Download – Ancient Cities Download PC
The key for the present period, varied by RPG points, city builder art and survival attractions, which is discussed at the resourceful Uncasual Games studio. Ancient Cities Download is an artificial RTS from Uncasual Games, in which the player desires to wrest harsh challenges put off by the medium in the seasons Neolithic. The art is marked by a very special intersection of several levels: among the tactics you can see the elements of survival, the simulator of the estate also ordinary RPG techniques. The fun begins in the Neolithic, marked above the naive term of the raid. In the current sequence, the servants opened to set up basic villages, experiencing the last of nomads to communicate the local mode of survival. Restructuring was due to the former freedom of access to food – tribes ceased to remove pagan adolescent floras while hunting, and the main sources of nutrients routine, the cultivated territory also the cultivation of subjugated animals. Exactly in such conditions, a diplomat is found at the start of an affordable hecy. As the head of a non-public tribe, it is necessary to lend a parent subordinate ridge above individuality, the correct portion of consumption and help from predators. Actual, however, they also experience which manifestation they leave behind, but they care about the intelligentsia of their leader. In Ancient Cities, the majority of installers are parallel to the modern congested saint's concept of additionally simulating the dispatching of the center. Therefore, the politician must collect funds to lift successive palaces, supervise the disarmament, assemble defensive characters and give the total dignified antidote so that they can obtain native reading. The Polish intellectuals sometimes have extrasensory extraordinaire, which is why a justified boss accidentally favors the preoccupation with adoration of ancestors, love the obelisks erected in the priority of pardon of dialectal idols. A nasty, extraordinary shade also buys that hiding for capital makes a moment of insincerity of survival. Strange plants also hunting in the province, the animals are rapidly stopping to claim a fair dose of supplies for a constantly rising tribe, while the rigorous supply of food is not such a safe competition at dawn. Side by side the plant and fauna are simulated in the construction of a peculiar ecosystem – if our predator selects a total antelope to the trap, modern ones will not crush down the access to the pig. At the moments when it is occupied, the ruler therefore needs to balance on the scale of deficiency, also properly secrete accumulated reserves, which excessively break the modest processes of contamination. Wikt does not create a tasty one endlessly, while the shortage of chillers is apparently hindered by the keeping of pork. Neolith did not exist above the character independent of the peak novelties and the unopposed apocalypses. The director must decide whether to brilliantly wait out the inauspicious period in helpful huts, or to stop the infrastructure made in drudgery, and make up the more positive regions. The will between migration and survival in a sheepskin is above-average and also a broken scream is likely to set your wards to expire. If, at present, vocalizations, vocalization, any of them reside in the Polish non-exogenous populations with a singular throat. What assets, unconventional records, gifts and maestries, which pretends to be unseen familiar from RPG inscriptions. Then lead an advanced trapper to chase, and a well-known grower will give us tastier rye crops. In the times of Sisyphean the order of reading then the platform of feeling. Memorize sometimes includes that we are not unprecedented employees in the site. The following tribes can read with us multicolored parities – with the chosen we can trade, expect check and rub us and work. The current prefabricate of the battle is more extensive procedure tree, which will allow to modernize the strategies of the goods of equipment, treatment and for the future means to slow down the occurrence of the neolithic strain. Dressed in the only incipit, the inexpensive hunter-gatherer shed, probably together with the present excesses, unscrew into a dwarfed village surrounded by a fence, and with climate in some of the signaling centers on the nursery, among stairways with dog locks also a class diversified community. Along with the figure of the method improves, therefore, over do it, in which the politician leads polite subordinates. The production is a perfect manifesto of the work Uncasual Games, formed basically on the ramp Unity, and the next quickly on the creative motorbike.

Sex hookups no sighnup free georgie henley william moseley dating
But even if you believe that ladies can have their choice of partners, knowledge and access are not the same thing.
Hence, the demand for a location-based app to broadcast who's single and looking.
So, even though there are plenty of other apps that facilitate quick and easy encounters, there's clearly a demand for something dedicated to purely casual connection that isn't Craigslist.
As a single lady with little time or inclination to go on traditional dates, I'll admit it: I've long been jealous of my gay friends' access to Grindr, the location-based casual-hookup app. Indeed, a piece on online dating earlier this year pinpointed the biggest hurdle in transitioning hookup apps from the gay to the straight world: "making it work for straight women, who may not need an app to know that they are surrounded by willing straight men." This is an outmoded view of the sexual economy.
Some women are simply more prone to the infection, but one of the most effective ways for anyone to avoid a UTI is to pee shortly after sex, says.

Ira The Life and Times of a Princess by Nicholas Foulkes
HSH Princess Virginia Carolina Theresa Pancrazia Galdina zu Fürstenberg is the epitome of an It girl, a true socialite, made the cover of Life magazine, when she was only 16. This cover story was about her marriage to Prince Alfonso zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg.
Virginia, who has always been known as Ira, was close to her cousin, Count Rudi of Schönburg-Glauchau, a close friend of Prince Alfonso (the two were major founders of the Marbella Club). Rudi told her about Alfonso's romance with Princess Christina of Hesse, a niece of Prince Philip, and they were about to announce their engagement.
Then the 31-year-old Alfonso met the sloe-eyed Ira, and he was smitten. Christina was pushed aside and Alfonso and Ira became engaged. Ira's parents, Prince Tassilo and Clara Agnelli, were divorced. Agnelli, a member of the Fiat family, had run off with an Italian actor, leaving Ira and her two brothers, Egon and Sebastian, torn between warring parents.
The marriage between Alfonso and Ira was a social coup - but one wonders how Ira's parents allowed for their very attractive 16-year-old daughter marry a 31-year-old man. Their honeymoon was very much a press adventure. Ira soon became pregnant. In November 1956, she gave birth to her first son, Christian. A second son, Hubertus, was born in 1959.
Ira admitted that she was not a good mother. She found motherhood to be "isolating and lonely." This is not a surprise. Ira was very much a part of the rich and famous, but she was not prepared to be wife or a mother.
The marriage was over within months of Hubertus' birth. They divorced in 1960. A year later, she ran off with a Brazilian industrialist, Francisco "Baby" Pignatari. Ira met Baby Pignatari while skiing in Italy in late 1959. Alfonso filed charges of adultery against Baby and was obtained custody of the two boys.
Ira's second marriage lasted for only three years. She never remarried, although she has had numerous lovers. After the death of Princess Grace, Ira became the companion of her second cousin, Prince Rainier III of Monaco (they share a common great-grandmother, Lady Mary Douglas) , and there were numerous reports that they would marry, thus making Ira the Princess of Monaco. The reports were a bit premature. The couple remained close friends.
The very essence of her life has been captured in the sumptuous Ira The Life and Times of a Princess, which a visually stunning and well laid out tome, that comes with a slip cover for easy placement on a shelf or a cocktail table.
Princess Ira is certainly a social creature who has parlayed her beauty and personality into a fulfillment of being true to herself. She appeared in B movies in the 60s, became the It Woman for fashion designers including Karl Lagerfeld.
As a "prominent European socialite," Ira moved in all the right circles, knew all the right people. London remains a favorite habitat, but Ira feels at home in numerous countries. She never needed to marry money as she is wealthy in her own right, thanks to her mother's Agnelli inheritance.
She is a free spirit, unfettered by the norms of society. Nicholas Foulkes describes her as a woman with "charisma, an endearing personality," with an appetite for the good life.
Ira herself says "My life is colourful... I lived on the spot. I lived day by day. My plan was to enjoy life..." Her life has been a full color palette that she has fully embraced, and no doubt, she has more to do, more life to embrace.
Princess Ira never got to be a consort, but she remains one of the elegant queens of the international jet set.
Ira The Life and Times of a Princess was published by Harper Collins with the support and approval of Princess Ira. Nicholas Foulkes wrote the text. The photos of the Princess from infancy to present day are from her own collection as well as agency photos. A dazzling display of biographical images.

报告题目:Total and Tropospheric NO2 Retrieval for GOME-2 and TROPOMI
报告人:Song Liu (刘嵩)
单 位:German Aerospace Center (DLR)
邀请人:陈良富 研究员
时 间:2019年10月22日 11点-12点
报告摘要:The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) instruments, included on a series of MetOp satellites, have provided a consistent long-term NO2 dataset for more than a decade. The NO2 measurements have been extended by the new generation instrument TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) aboard the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite with an unprecedented spatial resolution of 7 km * 3.5 km. Basics and state-of-the-science are introduced for the three main retrieval steps: spectral fitting, stratosphere-troposphere-separation, and air mass factor determination. The retrieval algorithm is applied on measurements from GOME-2 and TROPOMI, and the resulting NO2 data record is verified and validated using measurements from independent satellite retrievals and correlative ground-based instruments.

Virtual Reality meets B2B – when business becomes an adventure
Experiencing something can be powerful adventures: they remain in our memories and awaken dormant feelings - this applies to all areas of life and can provide an explanation for the recent success of Virtual Reality. The enormous potential of this technology is now being discovered by B2B decision-makers. Demodern answers the question: When is the use of VR worthwhile for companies and how do ZEISS and Dräger use the technology at their booths…?
When customers are allowed to explore and experience their next holiday destination, their future family car or their dream home in advance, the product feels more real, understandable and often more desirable. Why should we treat our brands any differently at trade shows? VR makes it possible for people to take a deeper dive into a brand's world during a short time and to carry them away - in private as well as in business.
It is obvious that companies and brands in particular benefit from VR technology, which relies on a strong product presentation and their presentation in the room. Virtual 3D worlds and spaces are used to visualize and configure products as well as simulate application scenarios. For example, companies can make it possible for the user to experience large machines without actually having the expensive equipment on site. During the virtual tour, employees are able to dive into the 3D world together with the user and explain and demonstrate the product extensively. At the same time, the scenarios can be adapted to the needs of the customer, thus enabling an individual and convincing brand experience.
But the use of VR is also suitable in-house: From in production processes, e-learning, and training, to the visualization of places and specific situations the technology can be of great benefit. For example, a vivid visualization with the help of Multiuser VR (several people at the same time - even in different places) can be created, saving costly travel expenses and man hours.
The booth as a gateway to the brand's world
One area that is particularly benefiting from the technology is the trade fair. VR is revolutionizing the company presentation at the booth and is expanding the offer on site. Whether it's an extensive range of products, the visualization of work processes or a playful immersion in the world of the brand - visitors can experience and explore what companies have to offer in a unique and unforgettable setting.
One example: At a medical trade fair in Copenhagen, a virtual reality application at the ZEISS booth enabled an immersive journey into the universe of the precision mechanical-optical industry. A combination of visual worlds and playful elements made the visitors - primarily doctors - discover the product portfolio of the company in a simple way. And how can this better be illustrated in the case of ZEISS than in the human eye? During a six-minute discovery tour, visitors were able to experience and use ZEISS products.
James Bond-Feeling at the trade-fair
Also Dräger, the internationally leading company in the field of high-quality medical and safety technology, uses a VR application to present its products in a playful and realistic manner. In the "Offshore Rig VR Experience" the user dives into an oil rig scenery and gets into a simulated emergency, from which he can save himself thanks to the Dräger's warning systems. The VR application is primarily used at international trade fairs and events. Trade visitors, customers and buyers from the B2B segment experience the products interactively and at the same time become aware of the needs for safety devices and emergency warning systems. This Real Time VR Experience demonstrates that VR is a serious technology for playful knowledge transfer and explanation of complex products - also in the B2B area. In addition, the user's attention is focused 100 percent to the brand - a fact that other media can only dream of.
To summarise: Virtual Reality can be an effective technology used for brands, something that can both expand our world and make it smaller at the same time. This technology has not yet fully spread, with companies and brands not yet fully realising VR's potential. It is obvious, that Virtual Reality is highly thought of because of how it's immersion compares to other current display applications in the B2B sector. We assume that the already established virtual reality technology will find a firm place in different areas in the next years, and are keeping a watchful eye as the technology continues to evolve.

2 sets of human remains found, Lake Mead and Lake Mohave | News
LAKE MEAD, Nev. -- Two sets of human remains were found in the Lake Mead Recreational area and Lake Mohave, that's according to Christie Vanover of the National Park Service.
They both were found Saturday in different areas and at different times.
Vanover said the skeletal remains found at Lake Mohave were found by kayakers around 12:15 p.m., and at 3:45 p.m., a boater found the remains at Lake Mead in an area called Stewarts Point Cove. The National Park Service says this area is only accessible by way of boat.
Vanover said they have Park Rangers investigating both scenes. The Clark County Medical Examiner was also called out to the scenes.
Vanover said, three people have been missing for awhile from the Lake Mead Recreational area. Two went missing from Lake Mead back in February.
There was also a hiker who went missing near Lake Mohave.

text: Getting Rid of Hot and Cold Spots with Air Conditioner Service Posted July 22, 2015 Hot and cold spots in your home can be an annoyance to put it mildly. They can be damaging to your home comfort, but what's worse is that they could be a symptom of problems with your heating and cooling system. You may need air conditioner service and Hix Air Conditioning Service, Inc. is ready to help you, but we've got some things you can try before we come out. Hot and cold spots may mean that you have an inadequate number of cold air return vents or it may be something as simple as unblocking a blocked air vent. The only thing you have to do is walk through your home and find out if anything is blocking any of your vents. If you find that you have a vent or two obscured by furniture or your child has dropped clothes on one, you're not getting what you need from your heating and cooling system. If the issue is something more fundamental like needing more cold air return vents, you should talk with an expert—whether during a routine air conditioner service appointment or if you call about this issue specifically. Many homes have only a single cold air return. This is often not sufficient to keep your home evenly heated or cooled. What can you do? Think about the arrangements of the rooms that have hot and cold spots. Even if vents aren't directly blocked, the arrangement of furniture in each room could be hindering uninterrupted airflow throughout that room. Call Hix Air Conditioning Service, Inc. to have a professional duct system analysis, so we can find the cause of your hot and cold spots. We can give you suggestions and help you resolve any issues we find. Have an expert clean your ducts to make a big impact on your home's comfort. This may not solve all of your problems with hot and cold spots, but you may perceive a big improvement once your vents are unobstructed. There's no reason hot and cold spots should be making your home uncomfortable and your HVAC system inefficient. If you've discovered hot and cold spots in your home, call Hix Air Conditioning Service, Inc. in Muskogee to schedule air conditioner service. Call 918-682-8238 or set up an appointment today.* * The above tips are based on opinion and should not merely be relied upon without consideration of your particular situation or any additional unique facts and circumstances.

AD – This meal was gifted in return for this review.
Growing up in the area you'd think that the White Horse Quorn would be a place I've visited before - wrong! I went to school in the village where the pub is based and it has been on my list of places to visit for the longest time. So the occasion couldn't have been more perfect when I was invited to come for the launch of their new cocktail menu to sample one of their drinks, try some of their food and get a flavour for their pub.
This cosy pub is in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside in a village called Quorn, a mere 8 minutes drive from Loughborough. White Horse provide delicious home made food and put on popular live events throughout the year. There has always been a buzz about this pub - mostly for the live events but also for providing fantastic pub food.
The White Horse in Quorn is spacious and not only has great space indoors to dine but also a outdoor space, their new Piazza beer garden. This beer garden comes with a retracting roof and you can watch your pizza being freshly made in their new stone base, rotating, pizza oven. This gives every pizza a unique crust and flavour.
The pub's food options here are exceptional with 7 different menus, including a Breakfast and Lunch menu too! There is a vegan menu available too here.
To begin with for starters I decided on their Loaded Nachos (£6.25) which is the perfect starter to snack on during the summer months. Their nachos were exactly how I liked them pilled on top of one another with melted cheese, gucamole, salsa, sour cream and jalapenos. They were well constructed and weren't left to burn at the edges which I tend to see from pub restaurants when serving this dish so I was happy! Jordan went for their Piri Piri Chicken Wings (£5.95) which came served with a lime mayo dip. These wings most certainly packed a kick to them so the lime mayo dip was definitely needed to cool him down - but still very tasty and the meat was very tender on the bone.
For our mains Jordan decided to sample one of their pizza's that are made homemade in their pizza oven. He went for The Ferrari (£11.95) a Calzone pizza stuffed with a BBQ base, pepperoni, bacon, & chicken. He said there was incredible amount of flavour in the calzone and particularly enjoyed that it had a BBQ base. He would definitely have this again and wasn't put off that it didn't come with a side as the calzone was enough. I decided to go for something new and went for the Piri Piri Chicken Burger (£12.95). The Piri piri chicken burger came topped with mango salsa, lime mayo, lettuce & tomato. I definitely understood what Jordan meant by the kick that came from the burger and it wasn't too my own preferences but the mango salsa and so adding mayonnaise definitely helped cool it down for me.
We would definitely visit here again for food in the future - especially because it's so close to us!
The White Horse in Quorn has a fantastic new cocktail menu and we managed to sample it for ourselves. The menu isn't big for this as they knew they wanted to have a menu which would be quick and easy to deliver on their busier nights. The also have an offer on Thursdays where you can enjoy two of their cocktails for £12.00. I was really impressed with the fluidity that our cocktails were made. I enjoyed sampling two on their martini type drinks and can't wait to spend more summer evenings sipping on their cocktails before it's too late and Autumn arrives..

A common criticism of the accounting requirements for not-for-profit entities (NFPs) is the apparent 'mismatch' created by AASB 1004 Contributions between the recognition of income at the time of receipt, and the associated expenses that are incurred and reported in later reporting periods.
The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) has sought to address this problem by introducing AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 1058 Income for Not-for-Profit Entities.
The standards apply to all private sector not-for-profit entities and most public sector entities, becoming mandatorily effective for years beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided both standards are adopted at the same time.

For further clarity or guidance around these changes and what they mean for you, we encourage you to contact your local Crowe Horwath adviser for more information.

The DeKoninck Family: Tim, Stacey, Seth and Leah
Founded in 1937, Tenwek hospital has been a beacon of light within the healthcare community in Kenya. As the country faces a national doctor's strike and severe drought, this past year has been no exception. For Tim DeKoninck, a fourth-year medical student at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, his wife Stacey, and their two children, four-year-old Seth and two-year-old Leah, the opportunity to serve for two months within the Tenwek community, and learn about the ministry of the hospital, was an incredible blessing and dream come true.
Tim and Stacey first found out about the hospital through the Dr. Ernie Steury scholarship fund, through the Christian Medical and Dental Association, which helps relieve some of the financial burden of medical training for physicians planning a career in medical missions. As Tenwek's first physician, Dr. Steury was pivotal in bringing the hospital to where it is today.
Having served together in China for five years prior to medical school, Tim and Stacey looked forward to once again living within the international community - this time with their children.
The trip began with several very long and exhausting flights and a 4-hour van ride to Tenwek. Once at the hospital, Tim joined up with the Orthopedic Surgery team to learn about the trauma services that Tenwek offers. Since Tenwek is located within a rural agrarian based community, many of the people living in the surrounding villages depend on motor cycles, or as Kenyans call them, boda-boda's, as their main source of transportation. This, combined with multiple riders, (sometimes a whole family will ride on one boda-boda) and very treacherous rural roads, means that Tenwek sees a steady flow of patients with very serious traumatic injuries.
The hospital also provides care for people who experienced major injuries from mishaps with farm equipment, or due to large animals. "It has been refreshing," Tim says, "to work alongside physicians who genuinely welcome the healing presence of the Holy Spirit in every interaction that they have with patients and submit to his authority even at the peak of their ability."
Due to the doctor's strike in Kenya, the hospital saw an increasing number of patients. Some traveled for days to seek care. Despite the extra burden of caring for the increased patient load, the general feeling from many of the hospital staff was that the strike provided the opportunity to pray for and share the gospel with more people.
While Tim worked at the hospital, Stacey, Seth, and Leah provided encouragement to the team of full-time missionaries working at the hospital, by hosting several "play-dates" and parties for families with small children. Stacey, who is an elementary teacher, was also able to assist the preschool staff homeschool group by leading the teaching time and giving some of the moms a break.
After the first couple of weeks, Tim switched from Orthopedic Surgery to Adult Inpatient Medicine to work with Dr. Jim Richards - a fellow Michigan State University graduate and physician from northern Michigan.
The following weeks were incredibly beneficial from an educational perspective, but the acuity of the patients changed significantly from surgery to medicine, and there was an increased emotional burden of seeing four to five patients die every week. Tim experienced the reality of Tenwek's motto, "We treat, Jesus heals" when he writes, "I was reminded too of the false sense of hope that I often hold onto so dearly as I practice medicine in The United States, "says Tim. "The hope that I can personally erase the effects of Sin if I just give the right meds or order the right test."
During this time, Seth and Leah developed some lasting relationships with some of the staff's children. Their days often began around 8 am with a knock on the door from one of the children, and ended with evenings of flashlight tag.
The last three weeks of rotation were spent in Pediatrics with Dr. Tom Dillard and his staff. Again, faced with the stark challenge of a high patient death rate, Tim had the opportunity to see the power of prayer in caring for patients on the wards. Many of the patients had issues commonly seen in The United States, but often presented much later into their illness, and included other compounding issues - like malnutrition or tuberculosis. This translated into seeing one to two pediatric patients die daily, which again reinforced the need to address not only the physical needs, but also the spiritual needs of every patient that walked through the hospital doors.
Stacey, Seth and Leah were also joined by Dr. Emily Goodwin, a Pediatric Oncologist from South Carolina. They had the opportunity to help with some outreach with the kids from the Pediatric and Ophthalmology wards. Two-year-old Leah was particularly impacted by some of the kids, and continues to pray for one patient whose leg was severely injured by a Cape buffalo.
Tim and Stacey look back on the two months in Kenya as a blessing, and confirmation of God's calling in their lives to pursue full-time ministry. The biggest blessing, however, was to hear Seth ask several weeks after returning "When are we going to go back to Kenya?"

Well, it certainly seems a prelude to fall migration is in progress. That looks like quite a diverse collection you had yesterday!
You are definitely right about no two days being alike, especially during migration! Many times I'll see a report of an uncommon bird in a spot I had just explored the day before. Curse you, lucky birder!
We are still in the "get out early" mode here as thunderstorms arrive by lunch time. Above average rainfall and plenty of wonderful humidity!
Another week about to begin and we look forward to enjoying reports from Another Bird Blog!
All the best, Phil.

Certainly the migratory component is the most rewarding part of bird banding, and the sense that one is contributing to research into the movements of species, with clues as to their habitat, feeding strategies, census data and threats, is very rewarding. Citizen science is a very important part of modern day research and I am sure you are happy to be a part of it. I know that I am, Phil.

Today we will investigate two photos we received from a reader. He also sent us this short message, "What is this? My wife was sweeping and found this in the pile." In the first photograph, the creature is right side up, so we can see what the top of its body looks like:
The specimen is a brown or gray color, with 13 segments on its body. It has a round head and a tapered tail. It looks like it might have two long appendages coming from its head, but this might also just be hair or other debris in the pile of sweepings. Let's take a look at the underside:
The underside looks similar to the topside of the creature, except it is white. We believe this specimen is a silverfish! Silverfish are teardrop-shaped insects that are less than 1 inch long. They are named for their silvery-grey color, and because they look like a fish when they move. These household pests can live in most climates, but prefer dark and damp areas like kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and attics.
Silverfish primarily eat sugars and starches. They feed on the cellulose in shampoos and the glue in books, as well as clothing, dead insects, and linens. Silverfish sneak into a home through openings between the doors, walls, and windows, or through cracks in the ventilation systems. They are also sometimes brought into a home unknowingly in cardboard boxes and storage containers.
Getting rid of silverfish can be a difficult process because they are nocturnal and extremley fast. This means that a silverfish infestation may go unnoticed for a long time and therefore might have become quite a problem before people notice it even exists. One way to locate the infestation is to use sticky traps. Then, small steps can be taken to reduce the number of silverfish in a home. These steps include cleaning the kitchen and bathroom (or the area of the infestation), and clearing out unused products and food items. Our reader can also install a dehumidifier, which will reduce the moisture levels in the home. Finally, sealing up doors, windows, and vents will prevent future silverfish from getting into the house.
To wrap up, one of our readers reached out to us about a specimen his wife swept up in their home. We have identified the creature as a silverfish. Getting rid of silverfish usually just involves cleaning, but some people hire professional pest control agents to assist them with an infestation.

Real Madrid missing killer instinct as another opportunity slips away
It seemed as if Real Madrid's title hopes were alive again. Barcelona's second successive draw in the Primera Division meant Los Blancos could close the gap to six points by beating Athletic Club at San Mames on Saturday. But it was another opportunity missed in the end.
Zinedine Zidane's side were without Gareth Bale, rested as a precaution after returning from injury impressively against Fuenlabrada in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday night - and how he was missed in the Basque Country.
Isco is a fantastic footballer, but Madrid's attack lacks dynamism and pace in his presence. Particularly away from home, Bale's running can help to stretch rival defences and provide space for Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. Instead, it was all too predictable.
The same can be said of Zidane's line-up. Everybody knows the team he will pick at the moment and exactly how they will play. Constant crossing into the area is not a wise tactic against a tall and physical side like Athletic, either - and it did not work again in this match.
Madrid needed a penalty to beat lowly Malaga at home last weekend, with Ronaldo netting on the rebound after his spot-kick had been saved. And there is the feeling that Real are not finishing teams off at the moment.
Ronaldo and Benzema have just two goals each in La Liga, while Bale has been sidelined for much of the campaign. Nevertheless, Saturday's game in Bilbao was one Madrid would have found a way to win in 2016-17. This season, however, it is a different story.
The champions have already lost at home to Betis, with draws at the Bernabeu against Levante and Valencia. And on the road, they surprisingly went down at Girona, having to settle for a point at Atletico and now Athletic as well.
Such results are not good enough for a team aspiring to be champions and although there is a Clasico clash to come at the Bernabeu on December 23, even a win will only reduce the deficit to five points as things stand. And that match also comes at a tough time for Los Blancos, just days after they conclude their participation in the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.
The draw at San Mames sees Madrid in fourth, eight points adrift of Barcelona and level with fifth-placed Sevilla, their rivals at the Bernabeu in the next round of matches. And it could have been worse, too.
Sergio Ramos, sent off for a record 19th time in La Liga, was fortunate not to concede a penalty, as was Marcelo right at the end, while bookings for Casemiro and Dani Carvajal mean they are now suspended for the visit of Sevilla.
In the final half an hour of the match, Athletic could barely string three passes together as Madrid launched a wave of attacks that looked likely to bring a vital victory.
Instead, however, it all proved futile. Too predictable and too pedestrian, Zidane's side have lost their killer instinct and this missed opportunity means it is a long way back now for Los Blancos. On this form, it looks unlikely they will close the gap.

2 weeks ago, about 13 teachers from Hyogo University of Teacher Education came to visit CA to learn about the learning environment of students at CA and ask questions regarding school life. 4 students including myself (1 from high school, 1 from middle school, 2 from elementary) answered the questions they had to give them insight on student perspectives on school. As a representative of middle school, I talked about school such as what subjects I like, the amount of homework we get, effective systems of learning unique to this school that really help students like myself, my experiences and my general thoughts about school etc. Although I was a bit nervous as we were surrounded by teachers and it was like a press conference, the interview was quite an interesting experience as they asked many questions that I hadn't thought about and made me think and realize that there were so many differences between local japanese schools and CA despite them being in the same country.

Earthquake Unit Wrap-up
What did you learn?
In this unit, I learnt how an earthquake occurs and the science behind it. There are three types of plate boundaries; Diverging Boundary, Sliding boundary (Transform boundary), and Converging Boundary. Boundaries form mid-ocean ridges or rises. At a diverging boundary, the plates move apart at spreading centers. At a sliding/transform boundary, 2 plates slide past each other and the sliding movement often cuases eathquakes to occur along faults. A fault is a crack in the Earth's crust where slabs of crust slip past each other. The rocks on both sides of a fault can move up or down or sideways. At a converging boundary, two plates move toward one another and collide. There are 3 types of stress that cause rocks to become fragile and snap/ bend slowly; Shearing, tension and compression.
How was this unit connected to you?
As a citizen of Japan, where earthquakes are a common occurence, I felt that it was important to learn about earthquakes and the science behind it.
How could this unit impact your life?
Learning about the Hanshin Awaji Earthquake via writing the One World Essay changed my perspective on earthquakes and made me more conscious of the danger of earthquakes. By learning applications of science that contribute to helping people be more prepared for earthquakes, I can take actions to be safe during a disaster such as earthquakes.
English Festival 2015
Yesterday, the "4th Annual Kobe English Festival" was held at Kobe Foreign Studies University, to give an opportunity for local students from schools in Kobe to showcase and present their knowledge they have acquired through months and months of hard work and dedication, through a presentation in english. The theme this year was "Bousai", which means disaster prevention. 9 schools (8 local japanese schools + 1 international school) presented effective ways to prepare for disasters in hopes of raising awareness of disaster preparedness and working on communication skills at the same time. As representatives of Canadian Academy, we (Tomo, Callum, Mayu and myself) presented as guest speakers, and so we did not compete. Nowadays, students do not pay attention during drills for disasters as they have not experienced it and think that it will not happen to them. To change their perspective on disasters, we incorporated personal stories and experiences in our presentation, which helped convey the fear and emotions that the people who experienced the disasters felt, even if it was a slight bit. The fact that Tomo experienced the Tohoku Earthquake and shared his personal st0ries was very meaningful and we all, including the audience were surprised and changed our views on disasters.
My parents experienced the Hanshin Awaji Earthquake in 1955 and I was very shocked when I heard what it was really like, from a person who had experienced it. To prepare for such petrifying disasters, we talked about how we can prepare for them. We pointed out 5 main points effective in preparing for disasters which were
1. Prepare an emergency kit
2. Pay attention during drills
3. Talk with your family and know who to call for help and their phone number
4. Don't have dangerous furniture near your bed
5. Decide on a safe meeting place as a family.
I think our presentation was successful and we were able to spread the message "Although we can't prevent disasters from happening, we CAN prepare for them.". We received words of congratulations from many teachers who were present at the festival and I was very delighted to see that they appreciated our presentation as we had put a lot of effort in it as a team. I was able to ask my team members about their experience and what they thought about the english festival.
Tomo- "Today's experience encouraged me and others to learn and study english. From all the presentations, I can see their hard work and dedication, and how much effort and time they spent. It made me happy and I think it encouraged and motivated others, because it showed how much english they can learn, and how much they are capable of learning.
Callum- Watching these people, who had never really spoken English before, speak the language with such clarity and emotion made me think that they had such dedication and courage to go up there and say their speech. This opportunity inspired me so much to do what I wanted to do and to not give up.
Mayu- "I had a great opportunity to speak in front of the Japanese schools and see their efforts."
Finally, I would like to thank Ms. Nishizawa and Mr. Lyons for guidance throughout the process of creating our presentation and of course, my team members who put a lot of effort and time to make this presentation in hopes of inspiring fellow students and raising awareness of disaster preparedness.

The Dean's Council is the highest division of the School. It consists of the Dean, who is elected for two-year terms, and the permanent Academic staff members of the School. The Dean's Council facilitates the smooth operation of the courses and course modules. The School of Social Sciences gained its independence in 2005, with the appointment of the minimum number of permanent Academic staff members required (6) to gain independence, according to the HOU founding law (Act 2552/97), and was constituted in 2006. Upon gaining independence and for the rest of the 2004-05 academic year, the President of the HOU Board of Directors, served as acting Dean. For the 2005-06 academic year the election of a Dean was not rendered possible and consequently the President of the HOU Board of Directors served as acting Dean. For the academic year 2006-07 the School acquired an elected administrative body and specifically a Dean and a Vice Dean, for the first time.

A new national survey from Public Policy Polling (D) suggests that Democrats are now between a rock and a hard place when it comes to health care reform. Whether they pass it or not, they would still trail the Republicans in a generic ballot test — though it's possible that passing the bill could be the better path.
In an initial generic ballot, the Republicans led with 43% to the Democrats' 40%, with a ±4.1% margin of error. The poll then asked: "If the Democrats don't pass their health care bill will you vote Democratic or Republican for Congress this fall?" The result here is Republicans 43%, Democrats 38%.
A follow-up question asked: "If the Democrats pass their health care bill will you vote Democratic or Republican for Congress this fall?" The result here becomes Republicans 45%, Democrats 41%. The margins among Republican and Democratic base voters remain nearly the same in the two scenarios, with independents shifting from 40%-26% Republican in the no-bill scenario to 42%-34% in the bill-passing hypothetical.Nevertheless, PPP communications director Tom Jensen makes the case that the better position for Democrats is to pass the bill — that something will be better than nothing, even if it doesn't work out that way immediately:
Here's the bottom line on health care at this point: the political damage for Democrats has been done. It doesn't matter whether it actually passes- it has had the effect of getting Republican voters really fired up and along with the economy continuing to struggle it has turned independents toward the GOP as well. Those voters aren't going to come back at this point because health care doesn't pass. Would Democrats be in a better position right now if they hadn't even touched the issue? Probably. But what's the point of being in power if you don't deal with things like health care?
Democrats are primed to have a brutal election year right now. It might be nice if they actually had something to show for it. And as many smart people have argued, if health care reform passes and proves to be a success it may well be that while it's a short term political liability for the party, in the long run it's a winner in the vein of Social Security or Medicare.

Mr. Bad and I went to a wedding up in rural Washington State two weeks ago and we had a spare day to go junkin'. We were waaayyyy off the I-5 corridor, where tourists fail to go. We explored the little towns and simply spent our day following all the yard sale signs to wherever they led. (Yes, Mr. Bad Rabbit is a saint.)
I love this sort of stuff.
Giant springs!
Nice old toolbox.
And some finds from elsewhere.
This birdcage is protecting my hosta from deer. I think I'll look for more cages for the other types of deer food I grow.
My new (old) work table - a future project. And ... a rabbit.
There's more junkin' ahead, too. The historic little town of Jacksonville is having its annual city-wide garage sale this weekend. There are treasures and antiques galore, drawing people from far and wide. It's quite the event!

As the chief operatiing officer of Million Air, I wanted to share with you a few ways in which our perceptions of the San Bernardino International Airport differ from those recently expressed in the letter "Field of dreams."
Contrary to what the writer states in his letter dated Aug. 14, when we arrived at the San Bernardino International Airport we did not find six extremely large hangars "ready" for maintenance work, aircraft fueling capabilities and a usable passenger terminal. We found large maintenance hangers in disrepair (some had holes in the roof), inadequate electronic capability and insufficient or no fire suppression capabilities. One hangar even had no doors and could not be secured as required by FAA security regulations. In short, some hangars were unusable for any commercially viable purpose.
The passenger terminal, even though renovated to meet minimum seismic requirements and to be used for charter and commuter flights, was rendered completely obsolete by the enhanced security requirements brought about by the 9/11 terrorist attacks and lacked many of the systems required by the scheduled airline service providers. Fuel storage and dispensing facilities were also inadequate for scheduled airline service.
Today, these issues have been addressed; the passenger terminal has been updated to meet all current security requirements and provide all the systems which scheduled commercial airlines require, a new fuel farm is ready for service, hangar doors have been installed, a new FBO is nearing completion, concrete repairs (as required by FAA) are on schedule for completion, and aircraft maintenance is active and growing.
There can be no doubt that the vision and leadership of Mayor Morris, the entire San Bernardino airport board and the airport's management staff have been instrumental in this amazing accomplishment. It was this leadership and vision, certainly not the conditions of the (then existing) facilities, that convinced Million Air that San Bernardino was going to be a success story and a place where Million Air was proud to contribute to that success.
In 2007 we agreed, in cooperation with the San Bernardino International Airport Authority and SBD Properties, LLC, a local developer, to establish what we believe will become the premiere corporate and private aviation facility on the West Coast. Today, Million Air San Bernardino is nearing completion at the corner of Leland Norton Way and Third street at the San Bernardino International Airport.
As for the letter writer's "field of dreams," if he is around the corner of Third street and Leland Norton Way he won't have any trouble finding it. It will be the place where all the airplanes are landing and taking off and hundreds of local residents are going to work.
Million Air is the nation's premier provider of upscale, private aviation services with a network spanning nearly 30 cities across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. We are proud to be a part of your San Bernardino community.
Terry R. Cross is chief operating officer of Million Air, headquartered in Houston.

We recently signed up to do the ATC Kids Swap. You can read about it here. The girls each created 5 2.5" x 3.5" pieces of art and mailed them off and then received five pieces of art in return. This was such a great little project. Working at such a small scale seemed to really stir the girls creativity. The best part was getting the other kids cards in the mail.
We talked about how these could be a series and Annie created the series Elephants Adventures. Here are four of her pieces. I really wish we got to keep them. I am totally in love with these.
1. Elephants Adventures: New York, 2. Elephants Adventures: Savannah, 3. Elephants Adventures: India, 4. Elephants Adventures: Great Wall of China
Maddie worked quite hard on hers, sometimes thinking of a title and then painting and sometimes naming them after. Her development in painting and drawing has really grown the past few months. As much as I love the bubble head person and scribbles of the toddler drawing I am so excited to see a bit more representation in her art. The little glimpses I get of her imagination and creativity always warm my heart.
We used watercolor pencils for these and I think they are my new favorite art material. We use watercolors often around here and they are great but the pencils give the girls so much more control and lead to much less frustration.
Yesterday Annie asked what our next swap would be. I'm glad the girls are enjoying these little projects as much as I am.
