Daily Thought For July 29, 2015
Freedom & Virtue
The reason that knowledge alone is not enough for success in the moral life stems from the fact that we have inherited a wounded nature. Since the fall of Adam and Eve, human nature is fallen from its original perfection. Saint Paul describes just how wounded our nature is:
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.… I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.… Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? (Rom. 7:14–15, 18–19, 24).
This condition is an effect of original sin (cf. Catechism, no. 1707). Through original sin every individual is born with a human nature that is weak and inclined to commit personal sin (the theological term for this condition is concupiscence). The mind struggles with ignorance, the body suffers pain and death, and the passions tend to undermine our ability to know and do the good (cf. Catechism, no. 405). We fall into sin not so much out of ignorance but weakness. It is within this context that we understand the virtues as liberating powers, raising man above his fallen nature to the truth and beauty in which each person becomes the person he was created to be.
The weakness caused by original sin causes us to be inclined toward sin. The power of virtue is that it reverses the inclination toward evil, and by strength of habit inclines us toward the good. For example, we are inclined to lie when the truth will hurt us, but the man who has the virtue of honesty possesses the inclination to tell the truth. Virtues tip the scales of the moral life toward good and away from evil.
How can we do good and live a virtuous life given Saint Paul's account of our fallen nature? Are we bound to sin? No. Saint Paul gives an answer to the anguished cry, "Who will deliver me from this body of death?" when he goes on to give thanks to "God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Rom. 7:25). Paul then explains in Romans 8 how Christ has set us free from the captivity of sin and death. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, our fallen nature is healed, perfected, and elevated.
Thus Saint Paul says that through Baptism we have put on "the new nature" (cf. Col. 3:9–10). The grace and power of Jesus Christ transforms our old nature, referred to by Saint Paul in Romans 7. This means that we can live a virtuous life, thanks to Christ. It is important to note the careful balance between God's grace and our effort. Apart from God we can do nothing, and apart from our effort God cannot work in our lives. Both God's grace and our effort are needed.
Consider the analogy of a sailboat. The finest sailboat in the world can't sail far without its sails. Even with much wind and good weather, if the sails are not up, the boat will not make much headway. The sails signify our effort, namely the virtues. Conversely, if the boat has excellent sails but no wind, it cannot sail. The wind is like God's grace. We can make all the effort and preparation in the world, but without God's grace we will not make much progress in the moral life. Similarly, we can receive the sacraments and pray, but God's grace will not avail much if we do not act. The wind will pass over the ship without much effect because the sails are not up.
This happens to too many Christians. They go to Church and receive the sacraments, but the wind of God's grace passes by them, as they do not put much effort into following Christ. God may be present in our lives but, unless we cooperate with His action, we will not reach our destination of eternal life. Success in sailing through the troubled waters of the moral life requires us to rely on God and expend much effort at the same time. Loving God with all our strength will raise the sails so that they can catch God's grace, which will empower us to move across the rough waters of this world to the tranquil harbor of heaven. This is what the virtues are all about, our cooperation with God and His plan for our lives. Through the virtues, both human and theological, we enable God to fill the sails of our ship and move it in the right direction.
The virtuous life is critical because it is the path by which we reach the final purpose of life, eternal happiness. Every person is created for happiness, but final and complete happiness comes only after a life directed to the good that lies beyond our immediate needs or wants. Virtue should not be considered burdensome, but rather as liberating and as the path to personal happiness. Indeed, the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that substantial happiness and human flourishing could only be grasped through the virtues.

Showing results for tags 'control panel'.
Found 1 result
Hey guys, I"m running Joomla 3.2.3 . I have experienced two issues related to the installation of bt media gallery. I first installed the NON all in one version. Afterwards my admin control panel for joomla was almost completely missing; except the standard quick links admin module but with no css styling at all. However, all the inner admin pages for joomla displayed great and as expected with no display isssues. In addition, on the frontend of the site, in an article category blog view, the output was changed so that there were no article titles, readmore button, and article info like author, category, etc. In addition, viewing a blog page resulted in super long load times to the point of time out. I uninstalled the component along with all associated modules and plugins. Problem disappeared. I installed the ALL in one version. Installed successfully. THis time no admin control panel display or rendering issues. Somehow this version of the installation package was different in this regard. However, the frontend category blog display still had the same missing information and problems. I began to disable the various plugins off and on and finally discovered that the content plugin for bt media display was the problem. when off, the issues on the front category blog display were completely gone; when on the problems returned. I changed the order of this content plugin to the last in the order, problems on the category blog view remained with some slight differences - some of the article info returned, but not all and same rendering and style issues remained. Page loaded a lot more rapidly. I've disabled the plugin and all is back to normal. I realize it could be some conflict with another extension. I am using nothing but core extensions for the most part; except for payplans membership management, akeeba, phocadownload, itp-social share, and xmap. So I'm not running a ton of plugins, addons, etc. Only what's absolutely necessary. So I'm guessing there might be some bug with the plugin or a conflict. I enabled error reporting to developement, maximum and system debug and recieve no php errors; which seems odd. You're help would be most appreciated :) I always appreciate your free extensions over the last few years and so know that this is just a small bump or obstacle. Best Regards, Danny Leary Oh, I'm running the latest bt media gallery versions that are available right now as of march 23, 2014 - core version 1.1.3 of the component and i couldn't find a version for the plugin.

Autumn path repairs kick-off
Following an enthusiastic response to the Trust's Wild Ways path appeal, specialist contractors can start repairs on a number of our paths t
Following an enthusiastic response to the Trust's Wild Ways path appeal, specialist contractors can start repairs on a number of our paths this autumn including major repair work on the Bla Bheinn path on Skye.
Relatively minor repair work has already started on the main Ben Nevis path (pictured on the right). Local contractor Stonescape has put in additional drainage features around corners one to three to consolidate one of the busiest upland paths in Britain and the main route up our highest mountain. This work is part of the Nevis Landscape Partnership which is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Scottish Natural Heritage, The Highland Council, Forestry Commission Scotland, John Muir Trust, and Lochaber Chamber of Commerce.
The Trust will also be working on the Schiehallion path in September, again to consolidate a very popular path and to stop it from deteriorating. Mountain footpath specialists, Upland Access, will be undertaking this work, giving valuable work experience to a couple of our regular work party volunteers who are keen to learn more about some of the technical work involved.
Upland Access are then tackling the Bla Bheinn path on Skye from October to Christmas. Major path repairs will fix a 300 metre section that has become badly gullied and is now 7 metres wide. This project is aiming to naturalise the repairs as much as possible. This is an exciting and challenging project – keep an eye out for regular updates on the web-site later in the year.
You can help protect our hills and paths by donating to the Wild Ways appeal: online, over the phone on 01796 470080, by texting MUIR14 £10 to 70070, or by sending a cheque to John Muir Trust, Tower House, Station Road, Pitlochry, PH16 5AN
For further information on the Trust's path project and path repair work please contact Chris Goodman.

Reducing and reusing waste
Reuse at our recycling centres
If you take any reusable items to the tip – such as tables, chairs and sofas – there is an area designated for reuse at each of our recycling centres.
Keep your reusable items separate from everything else you're taking to the tip and take them to the reuse section. If you're unsure whether something can be reused, or want to know where the reuse section is, one of the members of staff at the centre will be able to help you.
Trial at Portishead and Weston-super-Mare recycling centres
Working with Changing Lives, we are trialling a reusable items scheme at the recycling centres in Portishead and Weston-super-Mare.
Changing Lives is a charity based in Clevedon who refurbish furniture and other items to be resold at affordable prices. They run a group of charity shops in North Somerset, selling donated furniture and household goods. Their aim is to reduce the impact of poverty, deprivation and exclusion amongst people who are in need.
Reusable household items brought to Portishead or Weston-super-Mare recycling centres will be picked up by Changing Lives and distributed to different stores around North Somerset.
If you have something that could be useful to someone else, whatever the quality, bring it along. The reuse area is located at the exit (there are allocated parking spaces), so please carefully pack your reusable items into your vehicle where you can access them at the end of your visit to the recycling centre.

Tate- is a purr machine. Still unsure of new people but getting bolder every day. He has learnt how to play and loves chasing feathery things. He will roll over for tummy tickles and head butts for affection.
Talia is still shy and timid but each day she is getting a little more inquisitive with her surroundings, watching Tate play with toys she too is learning.
Tate and Talia are about 6 months old, because they are quite shy and timid they need to find their forever home together.
They would be better suited to a quieter household, without small children.
If you are interested in adopting Tate and Talia, please get in touch.

We were delighted to welcome Plymouth Member of Parliament Oliver Colville to Plymouth Yacht Haven yesterday for a tour of the marina and an informal discussion.
After Oliver came to meet Yacht Havens staff at the London Boat Show in January, we were delighted that Oliver accepted our invitation to come for a site visit. Oliver and I spoke at length over the afternoon on various topics relating to marinas, as well as talking about issues currently close to our hearts including apprenticeships, Plymouth tourism, employment, the 2017 Rolex Fastnet Race and winter dredging.
After a tour of our marina, we hopped into the dory to visit our sister-sites, Turnchapel Wharf and Yacht Haven Quay Dry Stack along the Cattewater.
A big thank you to Oliver for spending an afternoon with us and we hope to work closely with you going forward and see you again in August at the Rolex Fastnet Race festivities.

This is where Crystal meets Fawa and Fala, on their first adventure.
Plot Synopsis
Darkness finds yet another planet, with citizens that are weak. However, he finds two that are very powerful, so he destroys the planet. The two mentioned survived, but one of them landed on Earth and lost his memories. He then meets Crystal, who is out to get his memory back, while he finds it in dreams. However, there is a dark secret hidden in his thoughts... will he get his memory back? Or will he be stuck with amnesia forever?
Chapter 1-Darkness Finds a New World
Darkness is in his black hole, pondering.
Darkness: Hmmm, well, why bother. I'm gaining so much power so one day I'll destroy that planet forwhat it did to me! (starts laughing)
Al Kehain: Technically, you're following all my orders. I want to destroy that planet, and you, myself, are the one to do it.
Darkness: Don't get on the technotalk, Pa.
Al Kehain: As you wish(Thoughts) Me...
Darkness: Now, I need to destroy this planet, it has such weak citizens, it won't even matter when I do that! Fire dark energy now!
Then the planet gets destroyed, but two specks fly out.
Darkness: I need to see what's going on, I just saw something! (teleports)
Kaylania: Darkness, wait! (he vanishes) Huh, I guess he doesn't want me anymore.
Al Kehain: He cares for you deeply, Kaylania, he just has other things on his mind.
When Darkness warps, he sees two pink and green specks.
Darkness: Survivors! Well, guess I can hold them for ransom!
???(Pink): Fawa, go! To that planet!
The green one then goes hurtling.
Darkness: Greeeat. Oh well, I got one! (grabs the pink fox)
???: Let me go!
Darkness: You're comin' with me, young lady.
???: I'm scared. Fawa, help me!
Chapter 2-The Strange, Green Fox
The green fox lands in the Blue Ridge Zone, right where Crystal was walking.
Crystal: Wait, what?! This guy fell from the sky! Hey, you, are you alright?
???: Ugh... Huh? Where am I?
Crystal: You're in the Blue Ridge Zone, are you okay? You did fall from the sky.
???: Say wha? I fell from the sky?!
Crystal: Yeah, what's your name?
???: Strange, all I know is that I came from another planet and my name. I think it's Fa-Fala? No, no, FaWA! That's it, I'm Fawa.
Crystal: Hm? Well I'm Crystal. Crystal the Raccoon. Wanna stay with me for a bit, Fawa?
Fawa: Stay? What does... that mean?
Crystal: Come with me. Staying with somebody means sleeping with somebody for a little bit of time. I'd suspect you'd know what that means.
Fawa: Huh? No... no I don't... now I do.
Crystal: Well, let's go. Let's stay with each other.
Fawa: Okay.
Chapter 3-The Dream
That night... Fawa dreamed. In the dream, he was turned into a Chao.
Fawa: Huh? What, am i?! Huh?
Then a whitish-bluish stuff came towards him.
Fawa: I'm Fawa, and I'm a flying fox. I remember that much. I know my attacks and everything. I don't know about my planet though, or if this is my planet. I also don't know if there are others like me, yet. Only, what IS this thing?
Then a white light blurs his mind.
Fawa: Wlah! Wlah!
Then he wakes up.
Crystal: You okay? You were mumbling in your sleep last night.
Fawa: Huh? Mumbling in my sleep?
Crystal: Remember anything?
Fawa: Yes. Just that I'm a flying fox. Nothing else.
Crystal: It's gonna take a while huh.Just take your time.
Fawa: Hmmm...
Chapter 4-The Rest of his Memory
After a few weeks, in Fawa's dreams, he recovered more of his memory. However, he was missing one piece of knowledge: his sister. Then, outside...
Crystal: What the?! Darkness?!
Darkness: Long time no see.
Fawa: What the myself! Who's that?!
???: Help me, Fawa! You know it's me, Fala! I'm your sister, we spent time together! Stop giving me that blank look, what, don't you know it's me?
Darkness: Oh, shut up, girl!
Fala: Ah!
Crystal: Let her go, Darkness!
Darkness: Yeah, maybe after I kill her!(throws her down and starts to punch her, and Crystal tries to stop, but gets knocked back herself)
Fawa: My... sister... my.... sister.... mmmmy..... siissterr? (gets angry) YO, DARKNESS! I CAN'T LET YOU HURT FALA!
Crystal: Fawa?
Fawa and Darkness get in battle, but Fawa is defeated.
Then, Light comes.
Light: Destroying a planet.. you've gone too far!
Darkness: Ayeek, no!
Light and Darkness then vanish.
Chapter 5-The End
Fala: Fawa! You remembered me!
Fawa: Well, sis, couldn't have done it without my dreams and the friendship of her(pointing head towards Crystal)
Fala: Thank you.
Crystal: I don't mind, really!
Flying Foxes: Well, gotta fly!
Crystal: Hey, your planet was destroyed, right? That's what Light said, so, why not explore here?
Fawa: Sure, why not?
Fala: It's not like we've got any other place to go.
Crystal: Then it's settled!
The flying foxes then flew off, and the thee friends waved at each other.

Designers often ask "how does an environment impact the sense of taste"? Well, a tangible example of this can be observed within restaurant designs. After all, a restaurant atmosphere can set up expectations of how a meal will taste, and it can impact how those tastes are perceived, enjoyed and remembered.
It is interesting to think that innovative restaurant design ideas can make dining experiences extraordinary. A restaurant experience can add or detract from how food tastes. After all, environments impact their inhabitants physiologically – where for instance, a relaxing environment can help a person to relax and de-stress in order to taste their food more mindfully. In other words, restaurant design can play a role in how the taste of food is perceived – and upon how deeply it is enjoyed.
To design a restaurant, one needs to design the entire dining experience. This turns the dining experience into a journey – thus, entering the restaurant orients a person's mood. For instance, a restaurant design can relax, excite, or even entertain its patron. Many nuances within the restaurant design impact whether a meal is to be celebrated, appreciated and enjoyed. And failing to design a good restaurant can have a detrimental impact on the way a meal is perceived.
Just imagine dining where one can smell the aromas of great food to come versus dining where a nearby factory smell is in the air. This can indeed affect one's appetite.
You see, as a meal progresses from appetizer, to entree, to dessert – there is great opportunity for the environmental designer to "play" with sensory effects. Perhaps a restaurant's patron can better enjoy their meal because the lighting makes it look very appetizing, and the patron feels healthy while eating because the seating is comfortable. Conversely, if the surrounding environment's temperature is too hot (or too cold) the patron may not appreciate their meal as much – since this will make a person too hot to enjoy a hot soup or too cold to enjoy an ice cream dessert.
Thus, to innovate your restaurant design idea, it may be best to understand the type of food being served, the journey that person should take within your restaurant, and the way you want them to feel once they are finished eating and leave the restaurant. This means going beyond what is comfortable, to truly innovate the dining experience. How can you improve upon a signature entree within a restaurant by setting amazing environmental conditions? How can your design go beyond helping a meal to "look good" to actually helping it "feel good" as it is being mindfully eaten? What role should your restaurant design idea play not only with the enjoyment of a dish, but with all else that goes on surrounding the context of a dining experience?
Of course, the food of a restaurant should strive for the highest quality possible. And as a designer, this is a chance for you to coordinate with the chef. After all, your restaurant design may be setting the chef's creation "center stage", and your design becomes an extension of the food just as the food is an extension of the environment which you create. Use your restaurant design ideas to "feed" the senses, both literally and metaphorically. And use your imagination to tap into new ways for a dining experience to evolve – promoting greater health and happiness through taste.

text: 21 décembre 2017 Document à lire, enquête immigration , de quoi réflechir et débattre; il faut briser le tabou, on a le droit d'en parler Beyond the Westminster Bubble: What people really think about immigration 21 December 2017 Open Europe has published its new report, 'Beyond the Westminster Bubble: What people really think about immigration.' In this paper – the first part of Open Europe's Immigration Project – we set out to examine what the public really thinks about migration. Since the Leave vote in last year's referendum, commentators and politicians have wrongly interpreted Brexit as a mandate simply to pull up the drawbridge. We found that people's attitudes on immigration are far more nuanced and sophisticated than often is portrayed in political or media debate. In actual fact, the public support migration for specific jobs or of those who have key skills. And, contrary to what some have suggested, our evidence demonstrates that overall public attitudes towards immigration – and indeed Brexit – were not fuelled by racism or intolerance. Open Europe combined a 4,000 person ICM poll across Great Britain with a series of focus groups in England conducted by Public First in the North East, North West, East Midlands, and West Midlands. Our results showed that the public want to see immigration controlled but that most people recognised both positive as well as negative aspects of immigration. The public also understood that migration both alleviates certain public policy issues and exacerbates them, and articulated that public policy issues have broader causes than just immigration. The current immigration system faces a crisis of confidence with the Government's net migration target dismissed as an unachievable "soundbite". Brexit offers an opportunity to design new immigration policies that can command greater public support. While policy should be designed for the entire country, we found that Leave voters saw immigration as a more important issue facing the country than Remain voters. However, we found multiple areas of agreement between Leavers and Remainers. Our research provides an evidence base for a sensible conversation about post-Brexit immigration policy. Open Europe's Policy Analyst, Aarti Shankar, said: « We wanted to get beyond the Westminster bubble and understand what the public actually thinks about migration. We found that Brexit is too often wrongly seen as a mandate to pull up the drawbridge. In fact most people have a relatively nuanced view and can articulate both the advantages and disadvantages immigration brings. We found little evidence that the desire to control migration was driven by racism or xenophobia. « The public does want control over immigration and a new policy approach. But we found more support for a flexible system that selects migrants according to economic and social controls, than one that prioritises reducing numbers. « There is overwhelming support for migrants coming to the UK in areas where we have skills shortages and to do socially-useful roles, for example as doctors, nurses or teachers. At the same time, the public believe that migrants' access to welfare and public services should be restricted. « Our focus groups revealed people expressing the desire for profound change and the belief that Brexit was a necessary but not sufficient step to acheiving that. More generally, we found widespread support for a series of policy interventions from government to address the effects of – and in some cases the need for – high levels of immigration. « Despite divisions on immigration, our research points to common ground between the priorities of Leavers and Remainers. Brexit offers the UK a chance to reset the debate and build a new immigration system which can attract popular consent. » To read the full report, click here. Key results We found that the public: • Has a clear preference for a system with greater controls on immigration over a simple reduction in numbers. 56% of the public agreed with "allowing immigrants to come to the UK as long as there are controls to make sure they will contribute to our society, economy and way of life", versus 36% who preferred simply "reducing the numbers of people coming into the UK". Even amongst Leave voters, a substantial minority (43%) chose control over reducing numbers. While immigration was an important driver of the Leave vote, it does not necessarily follow that all Leave voters support a highly restrictive immigration system. • Has little specific support for the Government's target of net migration in the tens of thousands a year, but wants numbers to come down. There is general support for reducing numbers but the public's attachment to the "tens of thousands" net target appears to be based on the principle that "something is better than nothing". Over half of respondents (53.9%) supported the target or thought it was not strict enough, but only 30% believed it was achievable. Even Remain voters were more likely to support the target than oppose it, by 38% to 27%. The target also attracts a strong degree of scepticism – focus groups participants saw it as a "soundbite," and only three in ten poll respondents (30%) believed it is achievable. Altogether, a cap on numbers was less popular than a system which "allows immigrants to come and work, but restricts their access to benefits and public services". • Was far more concerned about a potential immigrant's criminality than their race. Our poll found that factors such as race, religion or sexual orientation were by far the least important attributes of potential migrants for both Leave and Remain voters. Whether an immigrant has a criminal record was considered 10.7 times more important than their race and ethnic background, or 12.2 times more important than if they are from a Christian background. Of all the controls that could be put in place on immigration, there is overwhelming support for increased criminal background checks on those entering the UK, across both Leave and Remain voters – 80% of Leave voters and 73% of Remain voters believed that if such a policy existed, their concerns about immigration would be reduced. Equally, focus groups participants consistently mentioned increased background checks on new arrivals when asked about their ideal immigration system. • Supported immigrants coming to the UK to work in specific roles, especially in socially-useful roles or where there is a skills shortage. Immigrants coming for every specific role we tested received a positive or neutral level of support from respondents. Only "general jobseeker" received net opposition. Public support seems more focused around whether roles are 'socially useful,' rather than a labour economist's definition of high-skilled immigration. Care workers received slightly greater support (33% net positive) than entrepreneurs (27%) or computer programmers (27%). Bankers (1%) received comparable support to waiters (1%) and cleaners (0%). Doctors (61%) and nurses (57%) received strikingly positive levels of support – but at a comparable level to any occupation in which the UK has a "skill shortage" (58%). We also found that respondents rated whether a potential immigrants' job is in an area where the UK has a skills shortage to be nearly six times (5.92) more important than if they are highly paid. • Overwhelming supported only allowing people into the UK who have specific job offers (71% vs 15% who disagree). This policy received overwhelming support from both Leave (81%) and Remain voters (68%). There is also a Leave – Remain consensus on allowing high-skilled migrants but restricting low-skilled immigration (75% support from Leavers and 65% from Remainers). • Backed restricting immigrants' access to welfare (74% support from Leavers and 63% from Remainers), among our poll respondents. Focus groups also consistently and without prompting called for reform of the welfare system to encourage UK unemployed people into work. They see a "soft" welfare system as contributing to the UK's reliance on immigration. Our poll data also paints a nuanced picture of how restrictions on immigrants' access to welfare should be managed, with respondents clearly distinguishing between 'automatic' and 'earned' welfare and social support. • Held the view that immigration is not a discrete policy issue. Many respondents understood that certain public policy problems (e.g. a shortage of affordable housing, pressure on the NHS) are to a degree exacerbated or shaped by immigration, but also perceived stresses on public services as complicated and more than just a consequence of immigration. A greater share of the public believed pressures on GP services and social care are explained by government decisions and other factors than the effects of immigration. Respondents believed the government should pull other policy levers, including skills training, house building, and investment in services, and said that this would reduce their concerns about the impact of immigration. • Recognised by a narrow majority that immigration has both benefits and drawbacks. When asked to consider the impact of immigration on health services, 53% of respondents saw that migration both benefited the NHS and added to strains on it. We also found awareness of both positive and negative effects of immigration on the UK labour market. When asked whether they agree more with the idea that immigration "keeps some wages down, so some people earn less," or that it "helps drive economic growth for the UK, which benefits everyone," the greatest share of the public agreed equally with both (30%). However, focus groups reflected a strong belief that immigration was a key feature of an unfair labour market. In particular, that high immigration has held down wages and reduced training opportunities for local workers. • Did not strongly support removing students from the immigration numbers. We found net public support for students coming to the UK (21%) but less support than for teachers (30%) or IT/computer programmers (27%). We also found respondents divided on whether students should be exempted from immigration controls with 36% in favour, and 40% opposing. • Would oppose restricting immigration if it resulted in negative personal or national economic impacts. 50% agreed that substantially reducing immigration would have been the wrong course of action if it "directly contributed" to an economic recession. Yet 25% would stand by the reduction and a further 25% did not know. When asked about losing their own job or that of a close family member, 46% would think substantially reducing immigration wrong. However, 23% would still support it and 30% answered that they did not know. Overall, our figures suggest there is a group of between 20% and 44% of the country who would support a clamp-down on immigration, regardless of the personal or national consequences. However, our figures also demonstrate a significant level of uncertainty (21-30%) – this may because the consequences listed were too abstract, or respondents did not believe these were plausible trade-offs. Results of the ICM poll can be found here, and a report on the focus group findings by Public First can be found here.

Feb 02, 2018 - National Geographic Explorer
Our exploration of the southern part of the Antarctic Peninsula ended during the night as we progressed back northward. Also during the somewhat dark night the weather changed. In the morning we were passing through ice that had been blown around from the bordering glaciers into Penola Strait. Huge icebergs of various shapes were accompanied by various sized companion ice floes and berg bits. The wind was biting from the north and snow flurries added to the very Antarctic conditions.
As we supercharged ourselves with a hearty breakfast, the captain positioned the ship close to the shores of the southside of Booth Island. A small sailboat was tucked in the lee of the island taking shelter from the winds. The plan for the morning was to go ashore where we would cross a snowfield to a high ridge where all three species of brush-tailed penguins could be seen. The program was similar to previous days as half of the group went ashore first while the remaining half on the ship were treated to a program by one of the staff naturalists.
Once on land we followed the path to the ridge where snow-free rocky outcrops provided nesting areas for the penguins. Even though it was breezy and a bit slippery everyone enjoyed the experience and the views of the surrounding landscape was spectacular. We all felt like real Antarctic explorers. Charcot, the early French explorer who overwintered in a small bay of Booth Island in the early 20th century would have been proud of our effort to view and experience the island.
During lunch the wind was slowly decreasing and the ship repositioned a few miles back southward to Peterman Island. Fortunately, the scouting party of naturalists were able to get through the dense ice that was drifting off the island to the protected landing area. And as the wind had lessened it was decided to offer Zodiac cruises and landings on the island. Snow patches still persisted on the land in areas but instead of being white they were tinted green and red from blooming growths of algae. Added penguin fertilizer invigorated the growth of the algae. As we enjoyed the landscape and being ashore, the ship maneuvered in the strait since it was far too deep to anchor. Light snow continued to fall and shroud the higher portions of the mountain peaks.
Later in the afternoon the Bridge steered the ship through the Lemaire Channel to a safe, protected anchorage for the night.

If you have some gold stored in your house and you are looking to get some extra cash, this is the right time to sell your gold. There are lots of benefits of selling the gold which otherwise was kept somewhere in safe lock for decades. You might also have some broken jewelry which is of no use for wearing but can give you hundreds and thousands of dollars if stored.
Here are top four advantages of selling gold for cash.
It is the best form of emergency money
Gold in your cabinetry is doing you no good. If by any chance a cash crunch or any other monetary emergency arises, you can always count on gold to help you out. You might not even realize but you will have a hefty amount of money saved with you in the form of gold.
The process is really easy
The process of getting cash for gold is very easy. All you need to do is find its present value. However, keep the karats in mind before finalizing the price. More often than not the newspapers and news channels display price for 24 karat gold. If you have jewellery of 22 karat or less than that, you need to get the present value of the same.
Once you have realized the estimated amount you will get, go ahead and look for a registered buyer. Almost all the jewelers accept gold jewelry and you are going to get a lot of registered shopkeepers. Choose one who is ready to pay you immediately and you are good to go.
You can use them to buy other things
Were you planning to buy a new car and chose to take hefty loan because of lack of money? You can easily get that kind of money if you sell the gold present with you. Apart from giving you required money gold cash will also make sure you need not pay for interest of loans.
Re-use of broken gold
The jewelry might be broken for you but for jewelers it is as good as gold bars. Just make sure you are going to the right buyer and get the broken gold converted into cash.
Selling your gold for money is rewarding and beneficial. You get instant access to cash and can buy the much waited commodity for yourself. If you also have some gold stored somewhere in your closet, take it out and cash it today.

In case this is your first time checking out our Ecommerce Marketing Roundup series, it's a curation of the latest and greatest happenings in the industry aimed at helping you stay updated on important changes that can directly impact your business as well as highlighting new and exciting opportunities for brands.
In June, we welcomed the start of summer, and with it, some new and exciting changes in the world of ecommerce marketing. Read on to learn more about Search Console's new feature, changes coming to Bing Ads and a new opportunity for local businesses.
What's New in Google Search ConsoleGoogle recently added a new feature within the Search Analytics report of Search Console. This feature allows you to compare one query against another. Run a comparison to gain insight on how two different keywords or search terms are performing and how effective they are at driving traffic to your site.
The comparison filter allows you to see how clicks, impressions and click-through rates of two different queries stack up to one another. You can currently only compare two queries. Access this feature by logging into your Google Search Console account, clicking on Search Analytics in the left-hand navigation and then clicking on the Queries section and selecting "Compare queries."
If you're not familiar with Search Console, it's a free tool that allows you to gain actionable insights on how Google is crawling and indexing a website and provides valuable information on a variety of elements that can influence ranking. Check out this blog post to learn more and get step-by-step instructions on setting up and verifying Search Console on your website.
Ads Coming to the Local PackGoogle confirmed that ads are coming to the Local Pack, but the timing and exact appearance and placement of the ads are yet to be determined.
At the SMX Advanced Local Workshop on June 21st, some of the new AdWords features and how they pertain to local was discussed. As seen in a screen shot shared with those in attendance (but not authorized for distribution), in a local 3-pack, the top listing was an ad, followed by two organic local listings. Google is still in the testing phase, so what we end up seeing may look different than this, but only time will tell.
Expanded Text Ads Coming to BingGoogle has been making a lot of changes over the past few months with the removal of right sidebar ads from desktop search engine result pages (SERPs) and the announcement that they will be rolling out expanded text ads across all devices. The move to expanded text ads means that two, 30-character headlines will replace the current one, 25-character headline and that a single, 80-character description line will replace the current two, 35-character description lines.
But wait – aren't we talking about Bing?
The initial reaction to the announcement of Google's expanded text ads was largely positive, but left some advertisers wondering how this change would impact their ability to synchronize their efforts across the two platforms, Google and Bing. The adoption of expanded text ads within Bing helped bring a sense of relief as the new specifications are in line with the changes coming to AdWords; the current 25-character limit for headlines will increase to 60 characters split into two unique 30 character titles, and the current 71-character limit for descriptions will increase to 80 characters. Bing's expanded text ads should be available by the end of summer 2016.
Testing, Testing 1-2-3With technology advancing at a lightning-fast pace, the way we interact with and use it in our day-to-day lives changes just as quickly. And with these changes comes a need to continually improve users' experiences and also meet the ever-changing demands of brands and marketing professionals.
Big or small, when it comes to adding a new feature or changing how a website, platform or tool looks and/or functions, testing is a crucial factor. Paying attention to what is being tested can provide valuable insights into potential new opportunities and give you a heads-up of changes to come so you're prepared.
Google AdWords Testing New Ad ExtensionGoogle is currently testing a new ad extension in AdWords, similar to click-to-call ad extensions, that would allow users to send text messages to the advertiser. Clicking on the text message icon opens the user's default messaging app and prefills the text message with the advertiser's information.
Facebook Testing Social Commerce PaymentsFacebook is expanding its focus on payments with a new trial in Thailand that allows users to purchase and pay for products listed on Facebook Pages with a couple of clicks. The user would be able to make a payment to the Page owner via a credit card, debit card or online bank transfer without ever leaving the social network. It's still to be determined whether or not this functionality will expand to larger audiences.
And that's our round-up of the month – feel free to add anything we may have missed in the comments below, or send over any questions you may have about this information. And happy marketing!

A December to remember.
We are today launching a brand new version of Monocl! We have created a whole new interface, built new modules and added hundreds of new features to truly transform your workflow and drive operational efficiency. We want you to be at least one step ahead of your competition - every single time.
A vibrant stakeholder ecosystem right at your fingertips.
At its core, Monocl EGO helps you find, prioritize and engage with the world's leading stakeholders and rising stars. With this release and thanks to our industry-leading integration of research content, financial sources and real-world data, it now also does a whole lot more.
We have re-designed the entire platform from the ground up. This release is the culmination of a tight collaboration with our customers and feedback from our fantastic user base working with medical affairs, marketing, clinical research, R&D information and other core business functions.
Four modules designed to transform your workflow and help you succeed.
We have organized the rich and comprehensive content in Monocl EGO into four distinct modules to make your life easier. Each module is seamlessly integrated with the others to let you navigate between them with ease.
Search and analyze publications, trials and grants - all in one place.
In this release, we are introducing a new module specifically for research activities. What we love so much about the Activity module it is that it lets you search and review millions of research articles, clinical trials and grant payments through a single search at once. It thereby bridges these normally so siloed data sources in a groundbreaking way, which gives you tremendous insights and control over your analysis. Each activity has been carefully processed, augmented and connected to stakeholders in the same unique way that our growing customer base is accustomed to.
Each activity type has carefully designed filters and charts to help you evaluate research trends and drill-down on points of interest. You may export and share any content with a single click. If you want to learn more about e.g. a specific investigator on a trial or an author on a recent important paper, simply hover over his or her name to get a quick preview. Click the name if you want to access the full expert profile in the Expert module.
Tons other new features and improvements to make your life easier.
The list of new features is loooooooong - here are a few highlights:
- The new dashboard provides you with an overview of your latest searches, your most recent activity in your projects as well as the latest news from Monocl.
- Track the research output of your opinion leaders, investigators, customers or competitors over time through a new project activity feed. This helps you stay up to date, quantify your ROI much better and understand who is working your competitors.
- Identify and prioritize rising stars and other relevant experts based on true network analysis through new collaborator work spaces and filters for single expert profiles.
- Filter individual research activities for targeted experts to quickly identify involvement in industrial trials, authoring of guideline or review articles and much more.
- Export and share content much more efficiently. You may now export one or several expert profiles straight to PowerPoint as well as export any clinical trials, publications or grant payments to Excel.
Make sure to check-out this blog post for some sample use cases. Contact us if you want to learn more.

Senate Bill 7, filed Monday by Senate President David Williams, would move the candidate filing deadline to late April and primary election day to late August. The supposed rationale is to increase accountability for legislators' actions in election year legislative sessions.
It won't work that way.
What this bill will do is push more real legislative action into special sessions in the summer months after the filing deadline. Look at how uneventful most sessions are through the month of January and how the current one remained so as the redistricting process dragged things out this year.
The filing deadline should happen at the same time we want legislators to start working. Move it to the first of January and we will stop the even year practice of legislators sitting on their hands in January. That way, they might even get to work on the budget earlier and take away much of the need for expensive special sessions. Otherwise, we will only move more lawmaking activity to later in the year.

The Wayne County Sheriff's Office and the State Highway Patrol have teamed up to offer a unified message to drivers in southeastern Wayne County: "Drive safely and obey the rules of the road."
The two departments have joined forces to crackdown on aggressive drivers in the area.
The concentrated driving enforcement effort is the result of a number of traffic incidents in the southeastern portion of Wayne County. The month-long crackdown is also the result of a number of residential complaints about speeders, careless and reckless drivers, and aggressive drivers.
Sheriff Larry Pierce said he hopes the effort will reduce traffic incidents in the concentrated area, save lives and prevent property damage.
"We urge motorists to drive safely, and obey the rules of the road," he said.

I think it's good to re-visit and isn't it funny how we move to new styles or techniques and forget about others. I think I like the last one best even though I rarely make that sort of card. I like the colours and paper very much. Mess is part of it I'm afraid!
Love them all, and you! :)
I think you may have picked some of my favorites too, as I remember all of them xxx
Fabulous picks for your five favs Di! Each one is so unique and creative. xx
Five lovely cards Di. What a lovely idea to show them again. I couldn't possibly pick a favourite. Barbxx

Great collection from 2015!
Nice to see your brilliant makes all over again.
Nice to see your brilliant makes all over again.
What a fun variety of cards. That last card seems so fussy after the clean lines of the ones before it. I don't make cards with that much frou-frou on them yet I still manage to pull out a zillion boxes!
Oh my gosh Di, these are all so cute and fun, great choice for your top 5!
Isn't it funny PJ - I'm much happier making cards with cleaner lines these days. Still shudder at the thought of grunge :)
All fantastic cards. Love the guitar card, will have to remember that for my brother.
Love the variety of these cards, Di--wonderful creations!

Premiere: Watch COMPUTER MAGIC's "Been Waiting" Vid
If you've never entered COMPUTER MAGIC's world of electronic synth pop, consider this your official initiation. "Been Waiting" was the single that swept us off our feet, and now solo-starlet Danielle "Danz" Johnson is back, with a 3D animated film that brings all our (and her) visual dreams to life.
"It was an amazing experience to work with Anise and Abi on this video for 'Been Waiting', I really admire their work so it was very exciting for me," Johnson says. "I never thought I'd come alive as an animated character in a video, it's definitely a dream come true! Like living in a Computer Magic anime world. I hope people like it."
As an NYC native, Johnson is no stranger to experimental sound, and each offering that COMPUTER MAGIC serves up is yet another fresh take on her brand of electronic pop. The consensus thus far? If "Been Waiting" tells us anything about what's in the pipeline for COMPUTER MAGIC re: 2K17, we're in for a treat. Peep the brand new vid above.

On this dreary Tuesday, my mind is wandering back to a much lovelier day this past weekend…
Ever since my family moved to the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain nine years ago, we've wanted to ride "the Trace." The Tammany Trace used to be a railroad track long ago. After the train stopped running through St. Tammany Parish, the old track lay unused for years. Developers came in and tore up the train tracks and paved a beautiful 31 mile bicycle path that runs through several towns in the parish.
My husband and I were always waiting to be able to purchase another bike, so that each family member would have one in good working order. Then, we had a little one. We waited for him to be able to ride without training wheels. This past weekend was absolutely beautiful. The temperature was a sunny 85 degrees with a pleasant breeze. We still did not have enough bikes, so we decided to rent one. It was very reasonable, at only $15 for half a day.
We started out at the Mandeville Trailhead and peddled four miles to the Koop Drive park. There we picnicked and played for awhile.
Then we moved onto the second leg of our journey. Along the way, I stopped to take a few photos of some things that caught my eye. Here's a couple of good shots:
We traveled onto the next stop, the Abita Springs Trailhead. There was a playground including a water feature. We all took the opportunity to cool off in the spray.
Finally, we hopped on our bicycles and traveled the eight mile bike path back to our car. It may have been my fatigued, forty-four year old body, but the ride home surely seemed mostly uphill and against the wind! I just moved a bit more slowly to compensate!I was so proud of myself and my youngest that we made the 16 mile trip without having to be picked up by car. At the end of the lengthy ride, we went out for burgers because we were starving!! The day was wonderful. Strangely, it felt like a mini vacation. When we were on that trail, we were surrounded by trees and a myriad of wild flowers and plants. We heard lots of different bird calls. Every once in a while, the wind would blow in a whiff of jasmine. It was a trip that was good for the body, mind and soul!

More Than 100 Miles...
We ride our bikes to raise money for JDRF.
Sunday, July 12, 2009
A great day to ride
It was absolutely perfect to be out riding today. We had a team ride in Holland that left from Coach Mike's house. The route was basically half the Holland Hundred in reverse. We rode through Saugatuck, past Hutchens Lake, then Fennville and New Richmond. We had about 30 riders out on the roads. I did the shorter of the two routes, knocking out 43 miles. That gives me my first 100 mile week. The Killington ride takes place 7 weeks from yesterday, so it feels good to finally be getting some serious miles in.

First, let's start with how much bad customer service can cost your practice.
Unless you are providing substandard dental care, most patients who are lost are because of poor customer service. Depending on where that patient came from, you have a certain acquisition cost or investment in that patient that you need to recoup but you also have all the lost revenue for the lifetime of that patient. A conservative estimate of the value of a patient is $10,000 over a lifetime.
If that patient experiences great customer service they will also refer other patients to you increasing their value exponentially.
All it takes is one of your team not providing the proper customer service and you have now lost tens of thousands of dollars in lifetime revenue. You can also bet that if it happens to one patient it has happened to others.
Most patients won't tell you they had a bad experience, they just quietly slip away and the next thing you know you get a call from their new dentist requesting their dental records.
So how much does it cost to keep this from happening?
Not as much as you think!
Great customer service is more than just each staff member treating people with kindness and respect. It is about your entire practice having a strategy for customer service and everyone on the team doing their part to make it happen.
Our upcoming Customer Service Excellence in Dentistrycourse is designed to give your team the strategies for providing great service and train them to implement. At just $499 per person, this course is a bargain. You can bring a team of 20 for less than the cost of losing just one patient! And it is guaranteed. If you don't feel it was worth the cost we will refund your registration fees. How can you lose on that deal?
Don't wait another year to make your practice the one that everyone is talking about because of your amazing customer service. Register today.
To see a full description of what we will cover in this course or to register visit: https://dentalmanagementsecrets.com/customer-service-excellence-dentistry/
For Groups of more than 3 please call to register (403) 984‑0114 – ask for Kodie.
We are limiting the number of seats in this course to 50 to allow us to give all participants the opportunity to interact with our facilitators so space is limited.

Nigeria: Boko Haram attack reported in Yobe state April 9
Boko Haram attack in Yobe state April 9 prompts evacuation of some 2000 people; similar attacks likely over the near term
Boko Haram militants attacked the town of Maisandari, located on the outskirts of the Yobe state capital Damaturu, on Tuesday, April 9. Militants reportedly intended to infiltrate Damaturu before being repelled by security forces; at least eight assailants were killed in the clashes. Some 2000 people were evacuated from the area amid the fighting. Further attacks by Boko Haram militants are likely in Yobe state over the near term.
The northeastern region of Nigeria (i.e. the states of Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa) is highly susceptible to attacks by Islamist militants, including from Boko Haram and Islamic State-West Africa Province (ISWAP). Though Nigerian military forces have pushed insurgents from much of their previously claimed territory, attacks have been on the rise since June 2017.
Individuals in Yobe state are advised to monitor developments to the situation, remain vigilant for militant activity, and adhere to all instructions issued by the local authorities and their home governments.
The security environment in Nigeria remains complex. Professional security advice and support should be sought prior to travel.

I think this is turning out to be the best holiday ever!
Lots of creative stuff, like a small anthology I'm putting together, a collaboration which has very neat characters and idea's flying around them... Can't wait to see more happen on that front, and I had a chance to gather all the parents and in-laws... One of the best parts of the holidays. To top it all off I have a job interview!
Life feels pretty good right now.
I hope everyone has a great holiday too.
Oh I would love to share more but really, it might sound like bragging. So I'll keep this post it to the important stuff, like spending time with the close family as mentioned above. It just nice knowing you have loved ones that care. That makes the season the only reason to celebrate... At least for me. I truly don't need all the extra crap. But just being invited to hang out is a pretty special thing. As economics become more difficult that fact that people invite to a dinner is pretty huge and special.
Thank you everyone for making my holiday that much better. Just knowing you all makes it better. Your generosity, and genuine affection makes this season a real thrill.
Merry Christmas!!!

Those students that are the most enthusiastic in the beginning, might in time turn to be the worst kind of students you have ever taught! Don't get me wrong, though. Enthusiastic students are the dynamos of the classes, for example when the energy level in the group start dropping or your capacity, as a teacher, start being drained by life tasks you need to go through. While you are leading your students repeatedly on and[…]Read more

Qigong and increased Sensitivity – 2: Body sensitivity
In the previous post Qigong and increased Sensitivity – 1 I was writing about the increased sensitivity related to a serious practice of Qigong and Neigong. This increased sensitivity is an integral part of the process of changes toward greater health and consciousness. I have mentioned some most common areas of our life where increased sensitivity might appear. In this post I will discuss some aspects of sensitivity that our body and mind might manifest[…]Read more
Qigong and increased Sensitivity – 1
One of the things that people expect from a Qigong and Neigong practice, is to sense their Qi. But at the starting point they are often not aware that this capability might bring also a lot of other changes in their lives. These changes can be also the ones they didn't expect and are sometimes somewhat unpleasant. However you should understand that these changes are necessary steps on the path toward greater awareness and health.[…]Read more
Change is unpredictable
Just when you think you are ready to move to the next level, this new level shows, but not in a way you have anticipated, but in a completely different fashion. Does that mean you are not ready? You are not wise enough to continue on your Path, your life journey towards Tao? I don't think so. Universe is full of paradoxes. Only because we expect it to be like something it doesn't have[…]Read more

How Qigong influences on our body, energy and mind
In this blog you can find some general information regarding Qigong practice (cloths, place, time, variety of styles…) and you can read about some of the major influences that Qigong has on our body, energy and spirit. We practice Qigong in comfortable clothes. I like that I can practice Qigong in comfortable clothes, comfortable footwear or even better, barefoot. Why is this so important to me? When my body is free, is relaxed, my[…]Read more
The shine of Eight Pieces of Brocade
Why "of Brocade"? People who come across for the first time with a set of Qigong exercises known as Eight Pieces of Brocade, in Chinese Ba Duan Jin, often ask why these exercises are "of brocade". Brocade is a class of richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics, often made in colored silk and with or without gold and silver threads. Therefore brocade shines beautifully. Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming in his book about Eight Pieces of Brocade describes[…]Read more

Before this mighty group of talented bloggers you see before you became that vaunted organization called United Cardinal Bloggers, we were Cardinal fans. Part of the great aspect of any fandom are the memories that you have of watching your team. Whether it's a momentous occasion, such as where you were when Mark McGwire hit #62, or something more personal, like your first visit to Busch, those memories stay with you forever.
This month, the UCB will be sharing some of those personal memories with you. On Friday, June 26, participating blogs will post their remembrances of games and players and teams gone by. Some may be funny, some may be poignant, but all will be important, at least to us. We invite you to share in our walk down Memory Lane.
This post will be edited as the entries are posted, so come back during the day to see who is posting and relieve some of your own Cardinal memories as well.

"This scarf was given to me in 1988 at the end of the first term at University, by my future Wife. We met in the halls of residence and started a relationship, no real commitments made on either side. Christmas is a make or break time at University as new couples would spend weeks apart, often at opposite ends of the country. Before she left, she gave me a present to open on Christmas Day, not only had she spent money on the materials, but more importantly time. I pondered its significance in terms of our relationship and whether her commitment in time meant the real start of something special.
Looking at it now, there is nothing special about the scarf itself. It is something I will probably never wear again, but what it means in terms of our relationship is new beginnings, that nervousness of teenage excitement of does she love me or does she fancy me and is this the real thing? Whenever I look at the scarf it brings all of that back and with it that defining moment of really falling in love and cherishing somebody…"

|Dept. Travis Junior
Portrayed by:Robert Ben Garant
First seen:Pilot
Episode Count:88
Early LifeEdit
Deputy Travis Junior ran in a trailer park gang called the dixie mafia when he was in 8th grade. He then joined the U.S. Army, and served in the Iraq war right out of highschool. He was given the Medal of Honor for killing so many arabs and being an American Freedom Machine. He joined the Reno Sheriff's Department soon after this.
Sheriff's Dept.Edit
Deputy Junior trains the police dogs for the department. He is rarely seen without his trademark aviator sunglasses. When working, he always wears his Kevlar vest over his uniform shirt (instead of under it, as a police officer normally would). There are several running gags concerning Junior. The first is the "traffic stop": Junior pulls over a driver and is usually knocked out or otherwise rendered incapacitated by an opening door or something falling off of the vehicle. Another running gag with Junior involves him, (although it is never actually seen), stealing, or otherwise tampering with Lt. Dangle's abandoned bicycle. Much to Dangle's annoyance. The other running gags usually involve him being mauled by dogs, or catching on fire. That doesn't stop him from being so damn cool.
Love LifeEdit
He has been shown to have flings, but never any steady relationships, with women. Particularly of Asian decent.
In one episode he gave fellow Deputy Kimball a "officer down" radio call and pretended that his gunshot wound was grave in an attempt to trick her into having sex with him out of sympathy. In the course of what she thought was a conversation with a person about to die, the two exchange information on their family backgrounds; Kimball and Junior gradually realize that they share a common uncle in Louisiana.
He was briefly married before. When the department was running a prostitution sting, he was undercover as a client of a prostitute and signed a marriage certificate that he believed was fake and also had the lady's signature on it. By law they were officially married and she moved into his Winnebego with him. The relationship was full of confusion and no satisfaction to the lady but happiness from Junior. She later stole the Winnebego with Junior and Dangle in pursuit as she threw his clothes out the windows. After Junior attempted to talk to her, she kicked him off and he landed in a ditch, making Dangle stop as she sped off, never to be heard from again.
Hobbies and InterestsEdit
Loves beer, NASCAR, firearms, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and perhaps most of all, his moustache.
