\section{Partitioning \texorpdfstring{$ab$}{ab}-insensitive sets}
The last tool we need is the result described in Section~\ref{sec:outline-partition}; given the multidimensional DHJ($k-1$) theorem, we show that $ab$-insensitive subsets of $[k]^n$ can be almost completely partitioned into disjoint $d$-dimensional subspaces.
\begin{theorem} \label{thm:partition} Let $k \geq 3$, $d \geq 1$, $0 < \eta < 1/2$. Let $C \subseteq [k]^n$ be $ab$-insensitive on $I$, and assume \[ \abs{I} \geq m \bigl(k(k+d)\bigr)^m \ln(1/\eta), \] where \[ m = 2\mdhj{k-1}{\eta/4}{d}. \] Then $C$ can be partitioned into a collection $\calS$ of disjoint $d$-dimensional subspaces, along with an error set $E$ satisfying $\unif_k^{\ot n}(E) \leq \eta$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} \noteryan{Maybe change all the $\unif_k^{\otimes n}$'s just to $\unif$'s, for typographical simplicity.} The proof proceeds in ``rounds, $t = 1, 2, 3, \dots$. In each round, we remove some disjoint subspaces from $C$ and put them into $\calS$; and, the set $I$ shrinks by $m$ coordinates. We will show that after the $t$th round, \begin{equation} \label{eqn:C-shrinks} \unif_k^{\otimes n}(C) \leq \left(1 - \bigl(k(k+d)\bigr)^{-m}\right)^t. \end{equation} We continue the process until $\unif_k^{\otimes n}(C) \leq \eta$, at which point we may stop and set $E = C$. Because of~\eqref{eqn:C-shrinks}, the process stops after at most $T = \bigl(k(k+d)\bigr)^m \ln(1/\eta)$ rounds. Since we insisted $\abs{I} \geq mT$ initially, the set $I$ never ``runs out of coordinates.
Suppose we are about to begin the $t$th round; hence, writing $\alpha = \unif_k^{\otimes n}(C)$ we have \[ \eta < \alpha \leq \left(1 - \bigl(k(k+d)\bigr)^{-m}\right)^{t-1}. \] The round begins by choosing an arbitrary $J \subseteq I$ with $\abs{J} = m$. We have \[ \alpha = \Pr_{x \sim \unif_k^{\otimes n}}[x \in C] = \Ex_{y \sim \unif_k^{\otimes \barJ}}[\unif_k^{\otimes J}(C_y)], \] where we have written $C_y = \{z \in [k]^J : (y,z) \in C\}$. Hence $\unif_k^{\otimes J}(C_y) \geq \alpha/2$ for at least a $\alpha/2$ probability mass of $y$'s (under $\unif_k^{\otimes \barJ}$); call these $y$'s ``good. Since $J \subseteq I$ and $C$ is $ab$-insensitive on $I$, it follows that each $C_y$ is $ab$-insensitive on $J$. Since $\abs{J} = m = 2\mdhj{k-1}{(\eta/2)/2}{d} \geq 2\mdhj{k-1}{(\alpha/2)/2}{d}$, it follows from Proposition~\ref{prop:mdhj-insens} that for each good $y$ there must exist a $d$-dimensional subspace $\rho \subseteq C_y$. Since the number of $d$-dimensional subspaces in $[k]^m$ is at most $(k+d)^m$, there must exist a \emph{fixed} $d$-dimensional subspace $\rho_0 \subseteq [k]^J$ such that \begin{equation} \label{eqn:C-mass-decr} \Pr_{y \sim \unif_k^{\otimes \barJ}}[\rho_0 \subseteq C_y] \geq \frac{\alpha}{2(k+d)^m}. \end{equation} Let $R \subseteq [k]^{\barJ}$ be the set of $y$'s with $\rho_0 \subseteq C_y$. Since $C$ is $ab$-insensitive on $I$, it is easy to see\noteryan{Honest.} that $R$ is $ab$-insensitive on $I \setminus J$. Thus $R \times \rho_0$ is $ab$-insensitive on $I \setminus J$; hence so too is $C \setminus (R \times \rho_0)$. We therefore complete the round by setting $I = I \setminus J$ and transferring $R \times \rho_0$ (a disjoint union of subspaces $\{y\} \times \rho_0$) from $C$ into $\calS$. This shrinks the number of coordinates in $I$ by $m$, as promised. And since we can crudely bound $\unif_k^{\otimes J}(\rho_0) = k^{d-m} \geq 2k^{-m}$, we conclude \[ \unif_k^{\otimes n}(R \times \rho_0) \geq \frac{\alpha}{\bigl(k(k+d)\bigr)^m}, \] as required to establish~\eqref{eqn:C-shrinks} inductively. \end{proof}
We conclude this section by simplifying parameters slightly, then deducing Theorem~\ref{thm:partition} for intersections of $ab$-insensitive sets.
\begin{corollary} \label{cor:partition} Let $d \geq k \geq 3$, $0 < \eta < 1/2$, and define $m$ as in Theorem~\ref{thm:partition}. If $C \subseteq [k]^n$ is $ab$-insensitive and $n \geq d^{3m}$, then the conclusion of Theorem~\ref{thm:partition} holds. \end{corollary} \begin{proof} We only need check that $d^{3m} \geq m \bigl(k(k+d)\bigr)^m \ln(1/\eta)$. We use the bounds $k \leq d$ and $m \geq 4/\eta$ (which is certainly necessary), and hence must show $d^{3m} \geq m \ln(m/4) (2d^2)^m$. This holds for every $d \geq 3$ and $m > 4$.\noteryan{I checked} \end{proof}
\begin{corollary} \label{cor:multi-partition} Let $d, k, \eta, m$ be as in Corollary~\ref{cor:partition}, and write $f(d) = d^{3m(d)}$, treating $m$ as a function of $d$, with $k$ and $\eta$ fixed. Let $C \subseteq [k]^n$ be expressible as $C = C_1 \cap \cdots \cap C_\ell$, where each $C_s$ is $a_sb_s$-insensitive. If $n \geq f^{(\ell)}(d)$\noteryan{that's $f$ iterated $\ell$ times} then the conclusion of Theorem~\ref{thm:partition} holds with error bound $\ell \eta$. \end{corollary} \begin{proof} The proof is an induction on $\ell$, with Corollary~\ref{cor:partition} serving as the base case. In the general case, since $n \geq f^{(\ell-1)}(f(d))$, by induction we can partition $C' = (C_1 \cap \cdots \cap C_{\ell-1})$ into a collection $\calS'$ of disjoint nondegenerate $f(d)$-dimensional subspaces, along with an error set $E'$ satisfying $\unif_k^{\otimes n}(E') \leq (\ell-1)\eta$. For each $\sigma \in \calS'$, define $D_\sigma = C_\ell \cap \sigma$. If we identify $\sigma$ with $[k]^{f(d)}$ then we may think of $D_\sigma$ as an $a_\ell b_\ell$-insensitive subset of $[k]^{f(d)}$\noteryan{justify?}. Thus we may apply Corollary~\ref{cor:partition} and partition $D_\sigma$ into a collection $\calS_\sigma$ of nondegenerate $d$-dimensional subspaces, along with an error set $E_\sigma$ satisfying ``$\unif_k^\sigma(E_\sigma)$ $\leq \eta$.\noteryan{bad invented notation} Note that in the original space $[k]^n$ we have $\unif_k^{\otimes n}(E_\sigma) \leq \eta \cdot \unif_k^{\otimes n}(\sigma)$.\noteryan{$ = \eta \cdot k^{f(d)-n}$. There's a slight subtlety here.} Hence we may complete the induction by taking $\calS$ to be $\{D_\sigma : \sigma \in \calS'\}$\noteryan{Point out that a $d$-dim subspace of a subspace is a $d$-dim subspace?} and $E$ to be $E' \cup \bigcup \{E_\sigma : \sigma \in \calS'\}$, observing that $\unif_k^{\otimes n}(E) \leq (\ell-1)\eta + \eta (\sum_{\sigma \in \calS'} \unif_k^{\otimes n}(\sigma)) \leq \ell \eta$ as required. \end{proof}

The Sega Genesis Has Its First New Game Twenty Years After Being Discontinued!
February 12, 2018
Over two decades after being discontinued, the Sega Genesis is seeing new life. It was first released as the Sega Mega Drive in Japan in October, 1988, eventually making its way to Europe in 1999 and the United States shortly thereafter. In the '90s, there were only two options for your video games: the Super Nintendo, and the Sega Genesis. The console still holds a special place in people's hearts, however, so much so that over two decades after being discontinued, we are getting a new Sega Genesis game. Tanglewood comes with a real 16-bit cartridge, that really fits into your Sega Genesis console, and developer Matt Phillips even tried to get an official Sega license for the game. However, the console no longer has an official process to do so! Being discontinued for over twenty years might have something to di with that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59KW8xT74eo The game follows Nym, as he tries to get make his way back to his separated pack after the sun sets, encountering various challenges and night terrors along the way. The game is available for pre-order now! Via Entertainment.IE

Web Reliability: Solspace Zen and the Art of Aircraft Maintenance
Solspace is 20 years old now. I've been doing a lot of thinking about that. At the same time I've been thinking about our history, I've been learning more and more about marketing. Over the course of 20 years I've pretty much shunned anything related to marketing and sales. It was a bad choice, one made out of fear of the unknown mainly.
So I'm looking back at my company wondering what our positioning in the marketplace is. Positioning, as everyone other than me knew, is a critical part of any marketing efforts. You establish your position within a market and that means you establish your area of expertise and experience. Your positioning describes how you can help people who have a specific kind of problem. A really good positioning statement is short and clear and compelling. A really good positioning statement makes you go, "OH! Yeah! I get it! I need to buy that!!"
A great position can be communicated in about as much time as it takes to ride down an elevator. For any of you who has tried to write anything or craft any sort of message, achieving brevity is highly difficult. It takes forever to be quick.
So I'm looking back on 20 years of Solspace and wondering what sort of thing I could say about us that would fit into an elevator ride. I worked for months on this. I worked for months looking into what our position in the market was. I looked at historical data like project attributes, client personas, sales stats and the like. I started to see a pattern. Our clients come to us initially with a tactical problem on a website running on an Indie CMS like Craft or ExpressionEngine. They need a solution to a complex problem and they are motivated to have the problem solved reliably, the first time. Then when we address the immediate issue, the client notices our dependability and expertise and asks us to stick around to fix more stuff. Sometimes this pattern is seen when a client needs a brand new website built. Sometimes you can see it when an existing website is broken in some way.
Looking back on the history of the company I saw that people came to us because their website was not reliable or they were having trouble finding someone to reliably build a new one. This gave me the idea for some blog posts. But I was having too many ideas. There would be too many blog posts. I also started to see some patterns and shapes in the realm of website reliability. Before I knew it, a book idea had emerged.
Web Reliability was what emerged. It's actually a framework, a thought framework. The Web Reliability Framework is a way of thinking about the problem of building and maintaining a reliable website. For websites, 'reliable' means generating revenue reliably. Most websites are either e-commerce sites, donation collection sites, campaign sites or lead generation sites. Even the websites that don't fit into these categories are responsible for generating revenue directly or indirectly. A reliable website is one that allows customers to flow into, through and out of the site smoothly, with minimal resistance. Steady, dependable revenue is the result.
As I wrote the book and developed the framework I looked for examples to make my points more clear. I looked for examples of the importance of reliability in the world. I happened upon the example of the jet engine on a passenger aircraft. These contraptions are incredibly complex. Each of thousands of components must be themselves reliable and work together reliably. Sounded a lot like a website to me.
So in comes the friend I was joking about. I was complaining about coming up with an elevator pitch for Solspace, something grounded in the importance of reliability. He said, "You know how you take your car to a mechanic to keep it maintained and reliable? Maybe that's you."
I said, "I used to be a mechanic for individual car owners. But now my team is like the aircraft maintenance company that helps keep the planes for Southwest, American, Alaska, &c in the air. Those guys are responsible for reliability, but they do it for a fleet on behalf of a client with a vested interest in that reliability. We help companies maintain their many revenue generating websites. We specialize in a certain kind of aircraft AKA website. We work only on Craft CMS and ExpressionEngine websites."
So I had my elevator pitch. Next time I'm in an elevator with someone and they ask what I do, I'll say, "You know those companies that help maintain a reliable fleet of aircraft for companies like Southwest? We do that, except for websites. We help a company reliably maintain their revenue generating websites."

Police have arrested a terrorist operational team who had planned to carry out a suicide attack on the Iranian Embassy in Kabul. Afghan interior ministry spokesman announced the news.
According to the details announced by the spokesman, the terrorist group was consists of 5 members and a commander who were trained in Saudi Arabia. All members were selected from Saudi mercenaries in the war against Yemen, with the consult of Almoayti (Saudi intelligence officer in Kabul). After returning to Afghanistan and settling in a neighborhood in Kabul, they decided to put an end to their operations.
Since 2015 and with the conflict escalation in Yemen, Saudi defense ministry began recruiting the extremist forces of different countries, including Afghanistan and Pakistan. There are currently more than 6,600 Afghan soldiers fighting in Yemen. This is apart from the approximately 340 people were killed and 800 injured by April 2016.

Quick question here – can you smell burning wood through a P100 mask if it's sealed properly?
I was ripping down some oak boards last night and my blade is in need of a cleaning. There was quite a bit of burning on the cuts. I could smell it slightly through my respirator which caught me off-guard. I am relatively new to woodworking, been using the respirator for about 6 months or so, and I've always been surprised by how much I can't smell with it on. But I've never done this much cutting with this much burning before so I wasn't sure. Just wondering if I should check my fit or if this is normal. Thanks.
EDIT: I should note my dust collection is non-existant. It is very high on the priority list though, already have a dust collector, but I only have 1×15A circuit in the shop so I can't run it at the same time. Working on code and permit requirements for the electrical upgrade currently.

Also, the system of a wheelchair device is considerably bigger than the seat of a conventional design consequently the stairway must be wide.This is an additional one that can be blamed on the films, which has invented all sorts of dangers that individuals think are legitimate. This 1 isn't. As your elevator business can demonstrate, the car by itself is what controls whether or not the outdoors doors open. It is the vehicle arriving safely at the exact point of landing that the hall door gets engaged and can then open up. If it isn't there, the hallway doorways have no purpose to open. If the corridor doors were indeed induced by the people urgent the button while waiting around for the car, then perhaps the suspenseful Dr. Drake Ramoray-for Buddies fans-could happen in genuine life. But they aren't.Stannah is a market leader in the manufacture of stair lifts and is one of the couple of that make a genuine wheelchair stair raise. Nevertheless, purchasing and putting in one for a consumer is far from easy. In reality, most homes are not suitable for this kind of lift. So, initial you must find out if your house is suitable.Will you pay too much?- Be sure to price the Commercial Lifts for vans that are pre-set up against the types that are offered separately. Is it cheaper to buy a van and then have the business set up an inside wheelchair lift? Does the pre-set up van come with any financial savings?People in wheelchairs discover it hard to move around and even tougher to climb up and go down the stairs. The perfect answer for their problem is chair lifts. With these lifts, they can go up and down the stairs with out the help of other people.There is a kind of lift that is developed for handicap person that are not confined to wheelchairs. These lifts are called chair lifts. What they do is help people sit and increase from chairs. They assist you get elevated and do the function of standing up for you.

What a night, it put a smile on my face . . . well as much of one as I can muster. It was pleasant to see the bats come alive and run production improve. I expected and got no less than a superb pitching performance from Cory White . . , or was it Cory Brown? No, Cory White, . .Heck, I'm colorblind anyway. And what a treat from Tyler Rehmel, who was batting only .193 going into tonight's game. His grand slam in the first inning made me want my nacho right then and there. Those Hounds wouldn't quit though. They played hard and scared me several times. Even our own players were affecting my nerves. We miss one opportunity in the 6th with Tanner Hall on first when a pass ball should have gotten him to second. Hey Guys, you snooze, you lose! Make no mistake, we dodged one tonight. All and all the team play pretty good tonight, but we should have and could have poured it on thicker if we'd been a little more attentive. The Greyhounds will be back, and we'd better be ready for them!

Great Win, tight score, we'll take it!

well we squeaked one out tonight against the greyhounds, 7-6. Corey White pitched the whole game. The RR fans were getting a little nervous toward the end but we prevailed.Although we almost threw the game away several times. Someone tell me what the heck was Gillespie thinking when he threw that ball in the dawgs dugout anyway? Also there was this greyhound fan(jerk) that I wish I could have muzzled right there on the spot. Zak daddy did it for me in the bottom of the 8th when he smacked the first pitch over the right field wall.I hope the fan drove back to U.C. safely. By the way I didnt see Hoghead there.

rattler strikes
well, last nights game wasn't something to write home about. Getting beat 11-3 and the night before 10-1. For all you math whizzes out there we have been outscored 21-4 in 2 games. SAD. May the railroaders have no mercy on the Greyhounds tonight.

It must be Love
Did you know "Fan" comes from "Fanatic"? Well I must be one, cause I still love my Fulton Railroaders even though we allowed ourselves to get bitten again last night. I don't know what they put in the dog biscuits in Union City, but whatever it is, they've got some pretty tough pooches over there. Those Greyhounds chewed the Railroaders up with a 11-3 mauling, the second time in as many nights. I'm still trying to understand what happened after we got an early 3-2 lead after three innings. Oh wait . ., pitching! All I can say is, it looks as though the train is pulling in for water instead of rolling down the track with a full head of steam; we're certainly in need of something or someone. Well . . , we're sending one of our best pitchers to the mound tonight for a 3rd try to tame the dogs, at home. Cory White is 2-0 thus far this season, and throws a strong game with an ERA of 1.93. Nice fast ball too! I won't say much about our offense. We did score 3 runs, which is good enough to win a game, but hard to overcome when so many hits and runs are allowed from the mound. I'm ready though, got me some cool Goodyear sunglasses. I'll be able to hide easy in the crowd which I'm sure will have several dog fans seated around. I think all the Railroader fans should come out and help stare down the Hounds. It's our chance to get even in the standings with Union City before we hit the road next week for 4 away games.

Ready for the Friday's Game in Union City
All fixed up, ready to go. Just put some antibiotic cream on the dog bites, bandages to keep the dirt out and I'm geared up for baseball with same group of canines that mauled us last night. You know, they had one real mean one who wasn't even on the field. He was tied up in the bleacher seats. Just sat there barking and growling for better than half the game. He settled down after awhile, maybe cause he realized it was wasted energy for a cause already won, OR he left. I'm sure he'll be parked in the stands at home tonight. So win or lose, there's sure to be a lot of excitement in the ol' ballpark tonight, AND tomorrow when the Railroaders return home for 3rd game against Greyhounds.

What a pack of wild dogs!
Just when I got myself back into shape, I find myself bleeding again after getting beat badly by a pack of dogs. The Greyhounds were ready and just too much for the Railroaders to handle on Thursday night in Lohaus Field. They scored a total of 10 runs in all but 3 innings, pouring it on like doggy dodo (I know, cause I stepped in several as I left the game). We did get a solo homerun by Kyle Bondy to prevent a shutout. Wish we'd had our 8 men left on base out there. But now that the Railroaders have dusted off the daze from their day off, they should be ready to get back on track. Now that our records are tied, the Railroaders face the Greyhounds again on Friday night and will have to do it in Union City's dog pound. I guess it's only fair to give them a chance by evening the records. I hope I heal up again soon!

Tonight's game and KIT Website
I finally got the bleeding to stop and good thing too. Tonight's game at home against Union City will require all the blood I have left. I'm still a little nervous about it, our players have had a day off and the last 2 losses came after days off. But I'm sure coach Brian has them in tow though, and I'm looking forward to watching the Greyhounds attempt to race around the track and not get hit by a freight train. The hounds loss their last outing against the Oilers, I'm sure they're looking for a win in Fulton. There may be more in Lohaus Field than they think. If the Railroaders are rolling, the game may just turn out to be a dog training session. Let's see if they can fetch a ball okay!
BTW: Is there something wrong with my browser? I keep going to the KIT League website and there's nothing in the information section but a white screen. The "standings" section has some info, but grossly out of date. Someone must be asleep at the wheel or my computer is broken. Not sure what going on with the other teams' websites either, although I do enjoy the Tradewater Pirates' site. If anyone knows what's going on, let's hear it!

The Fulton Railroaders' 2007 Baseball Season
Well we're finally heading down the tracks on this 2007 season of Railroaders baseball. After the first 10 games with a record of 6-4, the team seems to be coming together and finding their ability to win. Excluding Game 2's disastrous loss, the only real issue we appear to have is run production. Too many guys left on base…enough to have directly contributed to 3 of the 4 losses.
Pitching is been pretty good with a total team ERA of 3.96. As I looked over my score cards of the first 10 games, I was glad to see all the practice I had with the Pitchers has paid off some. They have only hit 17 batters thus far.., I just wish I'd thought about using a helmet like the real batters do! Looking further at my scores cards, I see they have thrown 1,196 pitches by my count and 736 of them have been strikes, better than 60%. I also find they are striking out 18% of their batters. All in all, I feel good about our pitching and believe they are settling in.
There are some nice batting averages in the line-up for first 10 games. Reinke and Owen over .300, with Gilliespie and Bolden over .400! Everyone seems to be on the "up-swing", so to speak. 4 homeruns by 4 players, 82 hits total, 34 RBI's and those 90 marooned "left on base" guys. It's like a flood gate about to burst! If we break that open, the Railroaders are going to be hard to beat.
Tied now with Tradewater Pirates in the league lead, but we've yet to face Union City. We had a hard time with them last year, the only team we didn't have a better one on one record with. And that includes the 2006 Kit League champion Oilers. After facing the other 4 teams this year, none have a series record better than us. Just as it was at the end of last year. Thursday night we'll begin to see if the Railroaders will turn that around and include the Greyhounds in with the rest of them.….

Martyn Newman is a widely respected voice on emotional intelligence and leadership. Here is some of his presentation from day two of the 2018 Pendulum Summit. Hear more from Martyn on Pendulum Talks.
The problem in business and education is that we separate feeling from knowing. We teach about verbal intelligence, maths and performance IQ, but not about recognising the inner-life of experiences or managing surging emotions.
We've created environments of complete disengagement. We've created cultures of passive-aggressivity within our organisations, places where people resist change and making a contribution.
I've spent the last 20 years delving into the back-end of my profession to combat this error. I want to help people understand the importance of feelings and how they contribute to the cultivation of knowledge and problem-solving.
Inside of each intelligent creature, what Buddhists call 'sentient beings', is a remarkable capacity for curiosity. A marked desire to solve problems purely for the intrinsic satisfaction of solving them, absent of any need for external reinforcement or reward. This realisation has profoundly changed how we understand motivation in the workplace, that it's not purely sticks and carrots.
Mindfulness is a technology which reminds us to bring ourselves back to the present moment and focus our attention on it in its entirety, to be able to compartmentalise with such potency that we can move to a new meeting free from any residue of the previous meeting, thus ensuring that we are absolutely fresh and available. To possess the ability to be manage your attention.
Another element of mindfulness has to do with cultivating emotional balance. This occurs when we step back from our immediate experience and stop judging other people, transitioning from thinking to awareness. Our decision-making attains a certain clarity that succeeds in emitting a degree of authority.
As a young psychology student, I was in a session with my supervisor. We were working through a difficult and complex clinical case together, when out of the blue the door burst open and in came the department head. He began to scream abuse at the supervisor, unleashing a tirade that seemed to last for a lifetime. I went beetroot red and didn't know where to look. The head completed the tirade warning my supervisor that one more transgression would cost him his job. Horrified, I gathered my papers and prepared to leave before my supervisor addressed me.
"Well, Mart, he's got problems, hasn't he? Now, where were we?"
I found it to be a profound moment. I was what the Buddhists label 'equanimity' in action, the ability to conceive that such vehement aggression was his s***, not yours. Mindfulness is the path to this ability. It's not about stress reduction, how it's being sold in the corporate world. It's a gateway to self-discovery, a profoundly personal transformative technique.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is fall and that means a plenitude of winter squash. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but they are all delicious!
I was standing in my kitchen recently with my son's girlfriend, Melanie. We decided that we must use some of the lovely squash for supper that night. Inspiration hit us both at the same time! What about a smooth, velvety sauce that would be the perfect accompaniment for any number of dishes? Yes! We were "off and running", creating as we went! The resulting family-approved recipe uses squash, tastes great, is incredibly versatile, and freezes well!
🍂 Winter Squash Sauce 🍂
Hubbard, butternut, or acorn squash all work equally well in this recipe. I used hubbard. I love it's deep orange color. Plus, it's full of amazing nutrients and knock-your-socks-off taste! Just one cup contains 120% of your daily dose of vitamin A and 30% of vitamin C. Additionally, studies have shown that it has both antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties. I made this recipe vegan. But, you can easily use chicken broth, use milk and saute the vegetables in butter or oil if you wish.
Begin by cutting off the top and using a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Place the cut off top back on the squash. Cover the whole squash with aluminum foil and place it on a roasting pan. Cook for 1 hour at 400 degrees. When it's done, a knife will easily slide into the flesh.
When it is done, it should look like this!
The easiest way to remove the flesh is to use a small knife and carefully cut away the skin of the squash. The "meat" of the squash is left and is all usable. Cut it into chunks and set aside.
While the squash is roasting, dice one large onion, four cloves of garlic and 2 cups of red pepper. Saute these in a pan on medium heat. I sauteed them in a little water, since I'm not a fan of adding extra calories or fat by using either butter or oil.
When the vegetable mixture is opaque - after about 10 minutes - add the chunks of squash, 3 cups of water, vegetable broth, or chicken broth (homemade is preferable), and seasoning: 1 Tblsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. onion powder, 2 Tblsp. of no salt seasoning. I like a mixture of garlic/herb and Kirkland Organic No Salt Seasoning. Here's a link to the Kirkland brand. You can find it at Costco, too.
Cook this mixture for 15 minutes over medium heat, breaking up the chunks of squash as you stir the mixture. It doesn't need to be smooth. You are going to throw it all in the food processor
Place the mixture into a food processor 4 cups at a time. Process until smooth. When it is all processed to a smooth consistency. Add a little almond milk to the mixture if needed, to get it to flow smoothly through the processor. Place the now smooth sauce back into the pan. Add milk or plant-based milk 1 cup at a time until it reaches the consistency of pasta sauce. I used almond milk.
This tasty sauce is incredibly versatile and freezes well.
It can be used as a topping over a hot baked potato, pasta, rice, or another grain.
Here it is served over pasta with a side of cheesy bread and a salad. Doesn't it look like mac and cheese?!
The vegan version has no cholesterol, little fat, and a boatload of nutrients! It's guilt free, good-for-you goodness!

Do all to the glory of God,

FBI wants you to reset your internet router2018-05-28 16:39 by Daniela
Tags: FBI, router, VPNFilter
Hoping to thwart a sophisticated malware system linked to Russia that has infected hundreds of thousands of internet routers, the FBI has made an urgent request to anybody with one of the devices: Turn it off, and then turn it back on.
Turning off the routers and then switching them back again – as well as updating the devices and ensuring that passwords are safe – could not only fix the problem but also allow authorities to track down where the problem has spread.
The malware, called VPNFilter is able to collect information, exploit devices, block network traffic and render routers inoperable. Earlier, Cisco Systems Inc said the hacking campaign targeted devices from Belkin International's Linksys, MikroTik, Netgear Inc, TP-Link and QNAP.

Summary and Synthesis of Mike Rose's "Lives on the Boundary" Carl Woodward's article in the Battalion relating to the idea that undergraduates do not care about important issues is on average totally inaccurate. "Lives on the Boundary", an excellent, informative essay by Mike Rose is a great example of how and why education should be equal for everyone. My fellow classmates and I mostly agree with Mike Rose's essay and disagree with Carl Woodward's opinion. We care about important issues and think that education should be equal for all. When Mike Rose was growing up he had only a few books available to him so he began to buy comic books because he "loved the heroes' virtuous omnipotence." And after comic books he moved to other items such as the instructions to his chemistry set and science fiction novels. He wrote very little in his schooling until his last year of high school where a teacher helped him find an interest in doing so.
Although he was a good reader he did inefficiently on literacy tests. It can be said that he only thought about the concrete reality. Basically he was only educated by what entertained him, like Elizabeth Ewen's quote says (Rose 98-99). Rose further goes on in his essay to explain the circumstances of immigrants in our country and their struggle of learning the english language in order to improve their life style. He says "a failed education is social more then intellectual in origin." For example he explains the essence of a boy from Guatemala who saw his brother hacked apart, and how the boy has trouble learning the canonical education due to the trauma that he has experienced (Rose 99,101).

Rose further goes on to argue that the great books are necessary and should be thought but the students must learn the material not just memorize it for regeration on exams. It would even be a good idea "to revise these messages and redress past wrongs would involve more than adding some new books to the existing cannon." (Rose 107) Basically Rose says that the cannon should be adjusted so that education will be more available for all. I feel that education should be equal for all and support most of Mike Rose's thoughts and ideas. It no difference what country or ethnic background people are from they should all have the same chances to succeed in America. However I feel that Rose favors the canonical or education by way of great books approach to education and I am more inclined to the revisionist's approach to education.
I agree that the great books should still be read and taught but not necessarily in the numbers that they are now. Or maybe the teaching of the literature could change to a more student/learner friendly manner. Suppose that the students are allowed to pick from a list of the great books, which one would they want to read. If so then the student might actually get something out of the reading process, and the education system will have worked. When I discussed Mike Rose's essay with my fellow classmates I found that their thoughts and ideas regarding the article were very similar to my own.
Drew suggested that "Students should read the great books that they are interested in because if they are not interested they won't get anything out of them." In addition David added "That students need to find the love of reading by books they are introduced and then they can love the great books, everyone needs to be introduced." Basically my peers believe in Rose's ideas except that they like me a favor a slightly more revisionist approach to education. We still support education by way of the great books we just believe it is time to modernize the learning process. In Conclusion, the way that english is taught in our classrooms needs to be changed so that people of all backgrounds have a better chance of learning and becoming productive citizens. It is obvious that students care about important issues and are working to change them. I am not saying that the great book or canonical approach to education should be abolished.
However I believe that it should be adjusted and modernized to enable to fit in better with today's diverse society. .

- Simple connectivity: using thread we can connect any thing that uses electricity as it's is to connect even small devices which where never connected to internet before
- Low power: Thread uses ZigBee to communicate between devices as it's range is more but uses less energy because of it's bandwidth(less compared to WI-FI), Thread sports small battery-operated devices like thermostats, lighting controls to be a part of home network which does not need constant recharge
Millions of existing 802.15.4 wireless products that are already in use today will simply require a software update to be Thread-enabled no new hardware required.

Often I see or hear of customers coming into the showroom and refusing the test-drive. You have done an incredible amount of research and budgeting for your new car but by skipping this crucial step you could be getting yourself into a car that doesn't truly suit your needs.
While I respect someone's decision to skip this portion of their dealership visit, I want to point out a few things that you can only assess by getting behind the wheel.
1. How easy is it to get in the car?
This may not be something you think of while shopping your next car but think about everyone who will be getting in and out of the car. Naturally, if you're the primary driver you want to ensure that entering the vehicle is as effortless as possible. Now think of family members who will be in the car as well. You want to make sure that young and old passengers have little issues entering and exiting the car.
2. Adjust the driver's seat.
You know how long you will spend in your next car, be it for the daily commute or long family vacations. Take time to set up the seat exactly how you want it. Ensure that when you finally get the seat where you feel it's best for you that you will be as comfortable as possible for a quick trip to the market or a family road trip across the country. If the driver cockpit doesn't gel with you after adjustments it may not be the right ride for you.
3. Adjust the mirrors and review all safety features.
Are the mirrors easily accessible and easy to adjust? Try to determine if there are any sizable blind spots based on your position behind the wheel. Finally, have the salesperson show you all safety sensor features and the backup camera in operation.
4. Know the dashboard.
Take time to understand where everything is on the dashboard. Are they easy to locate and reach? Are their dashboard controls that dramatically differ from your last car? This is your command centre, make sure you're comfortable with everything in front of you.
5. The drive itself.
This is critical, no amount of online research will help you get "the feel of the wheel". How does the steering feel? Too heavy? Too light? We all have a personal preference when it comes to how the car handles. If you are particular about this, definitely get in the car.
The test-drive also allows you to see the braking system's response time. With all of the new safety features and sensors in vehicles nowadays you will need to ensure you understand how the car can react to different scenarios. Finally, listen to the car, listen to the drive. If you find cabin noise is prevalent you may want to look at a quieter ride. A quieter ride can lessen driver fatigue and help you be more alert to others on the road.
I could continue to list numerous reasons why the test-drive is so critical in your next vehicle purchase or lease but I hope that these quick tips are enough to ensure you don't skip this critical step in your purchase journey.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any specific questions on test-drives, and for a no hassle experience. When assessing your next vehicle I hope you consider Mississauga Toyota to find the perfect vehicle for you and your family! If you would like to contact me directly, my contact details are email@example.com and 905-625-3420 ext. 277. I would be happy to set up a test drive with a member of our sales team. We're located at 2215 Dundas St E in Mississauga, Ontario. Near the 427 and Sherway Gardens.
Happy Driving!

For many years, those of us who weren't entirely happy with our noses had just two options. We needed to learn to love our nose as it is or we could undergo the surgical procedure known as rhinoplasty.
With constant advances in technology and the understanding of cosmetic and medical solutions came a third and non-surgical option to consider. We have cosmetic dermal fillers to thank for this new choice in nose jobs.
The basics of the non-surgical nose job
The non-surgical rhinoplasty uses injectable fillers to improve the aesthetics of the nose. Surgery is the only solution to treat structure issues with the nose. For those looking to just slightly alter their profile, dermal fillers can produce both subtle and drastic results.
The traditional surgical rhinoplasty alters the structure of the nose, requires anesthesia, and there is often a lengthy healing period as a result of the swelling and bruising from the procedure. The results are also permanent.
One of detail which is important for the non-surgical nose job is that results are not permanent. They can last up to 18 months, however. Small needs are used to inject the filler into the targeted areas in order to slightly alter the shape of the nose. There is no extensive recovery from the procedure.
How soon can results be seen?
According to nose reshaping specialist, Dr. Laniewski, in the most of situations results can be seen almost immediately. There will be some minor swelling and bruising at the injection sites but this will pass within a few short days. At this point patients will be able to see their complete and final results of the treatment. Compare this to the surgical rhinoplasty, which could require months for patients to see the final results once all of the swelling has finally subsided.
There is no downtime for patients who undergo the non-surgical procedure and there is no pain to consider.
What concerns can the non-surgical rhinoplasty address?
The dermal fillers can help to raise the nasal bridge, camouflage the appearance of a dorsal hump, even out any irregularities on the bridge of the nose, and ultimately refine the look of the nose. While technically adding volume to your nose with the fillers, the final results are often a nose that looks much smaller and more balanced.
What concerns can the non-surgical rhinoplasty not address?
Injected dermal fillers cannot alter the interior nasal structure. Concerns like a deviated septum need to be addressed with surgery. The fillers are also not able to trim down the width of the nose or nostrils. The nasal tip cannot be narrowed.
Are there any risks to the non-surgical rhinoplasty?
Any procedure, whether medically necessitated or cosmetic, carries with it a very small risk of complications. The non-surgical rhinoplasty is not considered to be a risk procedure, however.
Any potential risks are often seen as the result of undergoing this treatment at the hands of those who are not professionals. The dermal filler could be injected into the wrong place and may result in a rare complication known as vascular compromise. The risks of this complication are drastically minimized when the procedure is performed in a sterile and licensed facility.
The non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure is a great and minimally invasive means of seeing those aesthetic changes you've long hoped for.

Dear Sangha,
We passed around one copy each of the two books we're considering for our next one to discuss. It seemed impossible to decide on such short examination, so we decided to look at the pages available on Amazon to help us. Here are links to both books. Check them out. We'll decide week after next at our next discussion.
Continuing our discussion of The Wisdom of No Escape, we considered the word Dharma, which has multiple meanings, but basically refers to the teachings. What is a teaching? Everything is dharma to the practitioner. Everything teaches us. Then there's the accumulated teachings, the Dharma. Pema says, "What personal identification with the dharma means is, live that way, test it, try to find out what it really means in terms of losing your job, being jilted by your lover, dying of cancer."
"The dharma never tells you what is true or what is false. It just encourages you to find out for yourself. However, because we have to use words, we make statements. For example, we say, 'The everyday practice is to develop complete acceptance of all situations, emotions, and people.' That sounds like what's true and not to do that would be false. But that's not what it says. What it does say is to encourage you to find out for yourself what is true and what is false."
This coming Sunday is the four-hour block sitting. Here is the second of the Four Reminders:
The world and its inhabitants are impermanent, in particular the life of beings is like a bubble. Death comes without warning. This body will be a corpse. At that time the dharma will be my only help. I must practice it with exertion.
Please join us from 2:30-6:30 next Sunday to practice with exertion. Exert yourself as much as you can. No requirement to stay the whole time. It's an opportunity to stretch our practice.

Are your thoughts and emotions holding you back?
That's a loaded question, so take a few moments to really think about it.
How often do you doubt yourself or feel discouraged? How often do you find yourself trying to please people? How often do you feel anxious, depressed, or afraid?
If that's you, you're not alone. We've all been there.
I've prayed with SO many people all around the world about their thoughts and their emotions, and I truly don't know anyone who can say that they've never once let their thoughts, feelings, or emotions get out of hand at some point in their lives.
My own thoughts and emotions used to affect every area of my life. In fact, I used to think my only hope was just to stop feeling anything at all. I tried to bury my emotions. I wouldn't let myself care, trust, or cry in front of others because I thought it would make me look weak. I became emotionally numb. But I quickly discovered that suppressing your emotions is the worst feeling of all.
As I began to study God's Word about the problem, I realized I had it all wrong.
Our thoughts and emotions are actually extremely powerful tools God gave us for success.
He created positive thoughts and emotions to help motivate you to work toward your goals, push through circumstances, chase after your dreams, forgive more easily, love others, laugh, and even speak up and act against injustices.
But negative thoughts and emotions are a different story. Negative thoughts, emotions, and feelings are toxic to you and to everyone around you. They can stop you dead in your tracks, or send you down an undesired path of self-destruction. And you may end up taking others along for the ride.
Life can be SO much better than you can possibly think or feel when you learn to think what God thinks about you and make your emotions work for you, not against you.
Now is where you're probably thinking, "Drenda, it's not that easy. Thoughts just pop in my head, and my emotions seem to have control over me! I can't just flip a switch and start thinking differently and controlling my emotions!" Or something like that.
And you're right. Changing your thoughts and controlling your emotions are NOT easy. But both ARE POSSIBLE.
There are practical and spiritual principles you can use to change your thoughts, manage your emotions, make better decisions, and take control of your life.
John 8:32 says, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
The power for unlimited freedom has been given to you. The ability to break through any and every obstacle and move past limits is yours. It's in the truth. It's the truth that sets you free. So, the first thing you need to do is reintroduce your mind to the truth—to what God says about you.
You can choose to think about what God believes about your situation and on who He says you are. You don't have to think on everything that pops into your head.
Find out how your life CAN be better and the tools you already have to experience success!
Watch for part two of this post next week!
Can't wait? Click on this blog's offer to request your Better Than Package.

1) What can Brockton do to promote economic growth and youth retention?
Brockton has the prerequisites needed for growth – a tremendous hospital, excellent schools, and wonderful quality of life amenities. However, I believe economic growth and youth retention relate back to the creation and availability of good jobs. From a municipal perspective, Brockton needs to be an advocate for anyone with venture spirit to invest in our community. We need to work hand-in-hand with our real estate, County, SVCA, and Westario partners to favourably support development. Brockton should strive to be the gold standard in developer support for those with the confidence to move our community forward.
2) Should Brockton provide the same services in its rural villages and hamlets as it does in Walkerton? (sidewalk snow clearing, flowers along the main street etc.) If so can Brockton afford this cost?
Where safety issues are involved, we should do everything in our power to provide all residents with similar services. Sidewalk snow clearing is a good example. As for additional services that may currently be provided in Walkerton only, I would suggest that each be addressed with the villages and hamlets to determine the feasibility, as well as their expressed needs. I want all residents in Brockton to feel like they are equal partners in the community wherever possible.
3) Would you support allowing a cannabis retail operation to set up shop in Brockton?
With the unsettled and changing provincial regulatory framework around cannabis store licensing, I think Brockton would be advised to take an initial wait and see approach. Originally, the provincial government was looking at an LCBO-type distribution for marijuana. Now, that has changed and the government wants to move towards storefront sales, which in my opinion, is a model with less external controls. Effective on October 17th, recreational cannabis will be available online to all Brockton residents of legal age. Therefore, as a community, we would be naïve to completely reject all cannabis retail projects. Evaluating best practices before opting in however, gives us time to get it right, knowing that Brockton can opt-in at any later date.

It used to be that the services of personal trainers were restricted to professional athletes and hollywood stars. But nowdays, regular people like you and me can afford that personal training touch.
However, that raises a question. How exactly do you choose a personal trainer in order to get the best results? While personal training is now affordable for many, nobody wants to throw money away. Well, looking for someone that possesses a personal training certification is a good starting point.
While there are various certificates offered by a number of different organizations, and they vary in quality, at least the fact that the trainer took the time to get certified because they're serious about their business, and probably planning to keep doing it for a while. More important than certification, however, is their knowledge, experience, and their personality.
As a matter of fact, once you have found someone who's competent, personality may be the deciding factor on whether or not you get results from working with them. Regardless of how much knowledge they have, if you do not like the way they communicate that knowledge, it's not going to do you any good. In order to apply ourselves and exert the necessary effort, most of us need to work with a person we can get along with.
A great way to select a fitness trainer is through a personal recommendation. If the person making the recommendation has similar goals to you, all the better. If you're a college age male who wants to add thirty pounds of muscle, a recommendation from a forty year old mom of three whose trainer helped her lose forty pounds of fat is not too relevant. It's better than nothing, of course.
The one criteria that you do not want to use when picking a personal trainer is to choose one because he looks like a pro bodybuilder, or because she looks like a world class fitness model, or whatever. Of course, you want anyone you select to walk the talk – so you do want them to look fit. But choosing one trainer from two or three prospective candidates based solely on their appearance is usually a big mistake. They just might be one of those people who can train haphazardly and ignore good nutrition and still look great, just because of their genetic inheritance. Therefore, they may lack the knowledge to train typical people. We all have different inherited capabilities for building muscle or losing fat – so do not go on appear alone. Consider it along with the trainer's credentials, experience, personality, and any feedback you can garner from their current or past clients.
Finally, make sure any fitness trainer you select is certified in CPR and has liability insurance. That will probably never be needed, but you want the trainer to be prepared should a worst case scenario ever occur.
