It doesn't matter if a small business has primary data storage systems maintained on premise or hosted in the cloud, according to a recent report from Crain's New York Business. The main issues are making sure the data is backed up and having backup and recovery software in place to support it.
"Part of the reason for going to a cloud is because your own computer network is susceptible to unpredictable events like flooding, fire, and terrorism," the report stated. "So make sure the cloud, which itself relies on hardware, is [also] protected."
Having data backed up, regardless of where it is primarily stored, will ensure that myriad risks – including natural disasters, power outages, and other kinds of network downtime – are mitigated. The practice also allows an organization to recover from an incident as quickly as possible.
With the rise of cloud computing, many companies have taken a hybrid approach to backup and recovery by combining on-premise and cloud-based technology. More traditional local backup can be used for long-term archiving of a company's most critical data, while the cloud is able to handle information that should remain available and needs to be recovered first following an IT incident.

Moneywise celebrates the best of personal finance education in Britain, rewarding hard-working teachers who make the difference and go the extra mile for their students
This year's contest was sponsored by interactive investor (Moneywise's parent company). Cash prizes were awarded for the teachers to use as they see fit in their schools:
- Winners: £5,000 each
- Runners-up: £2,500 each
- Judges' Award: £1,500 each
- Commended teachers: £500 each
This year saw a record number of nominations for the awards. Submissions were whittled down by the Moneywise team to the final shortlists for judging.
This year's judging panel included:
- Alex Kovach, chief commercial officer, interactive investor
- Rachel Lacey, special projects editor, Moneywise
- Jeff Prestridge, personal finance editor of the Mail on Sunday and columnist for Moneywise
- Rachel Rickard Straus, editor, Moneywise
- Guy Rigden, chief executive, MyBnk
- Bobby Seagull, TV personality, author, maths teacher and University Challenge finalist
- Richard Wilson, chief executive officer, interactive investor
- Russell Winnard, director of programmes and services, Young Enterprise & Young Money
The judging panel discuss the merits of the many excellent nominees for this year's awards
From the two shortlists of four primary and six secondary teachers, the judges awarded points based on:
- Usefulness
- Fun
- Engagement
- Interactivity
- Bonus points
Guy Rigden explains his thought process for judging: "In particular, I looked for whether the content was relevant to the different age groups and how much it dealt with personal finance rather than more general economics or citizenship, which some entries emphasised.
"Bonus points were awarded for evidence of seeking out best practice, bringing in visitors or making visits that brought relevance and context, particularly impressive examples of materials and a whole school approach, and whether the teacher had a plan for the use of an award."
After a tough session of judging where the merits of all the teachers were weighed up, two winners emerged. Here are some key comments from the judges as to what they liked from all the finalists.
Winner: Sian Bentley, deputy principal, Queensmead Primary Academy, Leicester
Sian was crowned winner in her category despite being in a very crowded field of brilliant teachers.
Bobby Seagull explains: "Despite being in a tough school environment, Sian has developed a way of embedding personal finance across the whole curriculum.
"Students learn about the difference between needing and wanting. The school also runs flagship events such as Enterprise Week and Careers Week, which help to put a spotlight on finance. I am particularly impressed by 'Purple Pounds'."
Sian's Purple Pounds is an enterprise in her school where you can apply for jobs and get paid in 'purple pounds'. These can then be spent in school on treats (such as a film and popcorn afternoon) as well as a range of goodies from shops such as Paper Tiger and others.
Rachel Lacey was also very impressed: "I loved Purple Pounds, and encouraging Year-6 students to get jobs within the school – applying for roles, understanding that better pay is the result of harder work and more responsibility, and so on.
"I wish my kids were getting these opportunities in their school!"

Runner-up: Joanne Throssell, deputy headteacher, Ranskill Primary School, Retford
Joanne was highly praised for her work. Of particular note was a foreign currency task, which introduced the concept of money from different parts of the world, exchange rates and how to manage money for travel.
Rachel Rickard Straus says: "I loved the currency tasks, bringing something that kids will have come across already in real life, and looking at it in more depth. Class charters covering their use of resources also really brought to life budgeting and the fact that resources are finite."
Bobby Seagull adds: "It is good that Joanne is taking a lead in making her school a Young Money Centre of Excellence. She thinks a lot about how to break the cycle of poor personal finance in her area."
Runner-up: Hayley Whitaker, KS1 class teacher, Arkholme Church of England Primary School, Arkholme
Jeff Prestridge was impressed by Hayley's focus on the 'core' subjects of personal finance.
"I liked Hayley's simple approach and emphasis on core needs, and the fact that we're living in an age that is increasingly cashless, and I liked her engagement with the usage of coins," he says.
Bobby Seagull says: "Although her headteacher won last year, meaning that she understands the selection process, the simple practicality of the game enables her Year-1 and Year -2 students to understand money in a way that relates to real life.
"It is small-scale, but I get the sense that students would really enjoy this innovative project."

Judges' Award: Tom Raffield, mathematics teacher, St David's School, Purley
Tom's entry was marked out for a Judges' Award owing to his attention to investment and economic education, and his ability to cover sophisticated topics, even at a primary level.
Mr Prestridge comments: "I was really impressed with Tom's attention to detail."
Alex Kovach adds: "Tom was my favourite, because his lessons were so engaging, and fun.
"I had to check myself that this was primary and not secondary, it was so sophisticated."
Winner: Helen Westwood, teacher of financial studies, Caroline Chisholm School, Northampton
The winner in the secondary category, Helen Westwood, received particular praise from the judges for her honesty and enthusiasm.
Rachel Lacey says: "For the secondary category, Helen Westwood is the stand-out winner – she clearly loves her job and is prepared to go great lengths to get her students to not only understand personal finance and learn valuable life skills but to enjoy the classes too.
"I love how open she is about her own finances, showing students her payslip and sharing her wedding budget spreadsheet."
Mr Prestridge wholeheartedly agrees: "Helen's entry was quite brilliant. I just loved her enthusiasm. It was refreshingly honest too."
Secondary school winner Helen Westwood receives a cheque for £5,000 to benefit Caroline Chisholm School
Runner-up: Christine Holt, teacher of financial education, Stowmarket High School, Stowmarket
Christine's entry was praised for her use of scenarios that pupils would find relatable and engaging.
Mr Ridgen says: "Christine has shown great teaching progression through age groups. I loved the party planner activity. Lots of interaction, very relevant to her pupils."
Mr Kovach agrees: "I loved Christine's party planning exercise. It dealt with several areas of personal finance and showed in a fantastically succinct way how various financial themes mesh together in a practical way. And what better exercise to get kids excited about personal finance than planning a party?"
Runner-up: Agnelo Mendonça, business teacher, Loxford School, London
Agnelo Mendonça's entry received praise from the judges for the variety of topics that encourage pupils to think about personal finance.
Mr Seagull explains: "In a challenging school environment, Agnelo has created a programme that really encourages his Year 12 and 13 students to think about personal finance. His activities go through the whole life cycle. He has a very clear plan of what he would do with the winnings. He goes beyond the syllabus and exams."
Mr Kovach liked the content of his courses too: "Agnelo's mortgage application task was fantastic because it set the pupils in a roleplay, instead of just laying out facts. It was both practical and engaging for what can be a highly complex financial product."
Secondary school runners-up Christine Holt (centre) and Agnelo Mendonça (right) both received £2,500 for their schools
Judges' Award: Russell Wareing, head of business and economics, Lancaster Royal Grammar School, Lancaster
Like Tom, Russell was awarded a judges' prize for his exceptional attention to investing education.
Mr Wilson explains his reasons behind this award: "I was so excited to see that teachers like Russell are really tackling important subjects like investments with young people.
"He is clear and concise on the important stuff and explains in brilliant detail the importance of investor concepts such as growth, balanced and income investing. He has also managed to organise trips and speakers from a range of financial firms that shows real dedication to the craft of teaching about investing."
Mr Seagull agrees: "Russell has done very well to enhance the profile of finance. He has taken part in enriching projects that allowed his students to travel domestically and abroad."
Russell Wareing received a Judges' Award and £1,500 for his school, Lancaster Royal Grammer
Commended: Nicola Butler, teacher of mathematics, finance and Welsh baccalaureate, Ysgol Eirias (Eirias High School), Colwyn Bay
Mr Prestridge says of Nicola: "I liked the way in which she was prepared to go out and take her classes to the local bank. It's very important for kids to see the financial world in action.
"I loved the 'good vs bad' focus on debt. I was really impressed with her."
Mr Seagull agrees: "She shares her personal experience to make her projects grounded and is willing to really take her students on trips that show finance in action. She has engaged many students across different year groups."
Commended: Jennifer Whelan, St James Catholic High School, London
Ms Rickard Straus says: "I was really impressed by Jennifer's proactive organisation of trips to the Bank of England for her pupils and how this helped convey esoteric topics such as quantitative easing and inflation."
Mr Wilson adds: "I thought Jennifer's teaching task using England flags was great. Not only did it convey the relevance of supply and demand concepts in a relatable way, it was a novel and engaging use of a popular topic for young people: sport.
"This concept was then applied to the inner workings of the stock market, something which would otherwise be quite abstract for teenagers."

Navigation is an essential element of space and flight sims, and it is also important that AI steer and move correctly. Mercuna takes your gameplay beyond combat in simple, open spaces, and gives you the freedom to explore all the endless possibilities of complex environments. With Mercuna, your AI can fly around space stations and through buildings, or enable AI to dogfight close to moving asteroids and chase players through twisty mines or tunnels.
Gameplay around complicated structures and combat in confined spaces requires a volumetric navigation solution. The Mercuna middleware enables AI action close to terrain and through gaps in structures. Our sparse navigation octree maps the fine-detailed topography of your levels, ensuring flight can take place close to geometry without any collisions. When travelling long distances, you can take full advantage of our asynchronous hierarchical pathfinding and spatial searches to perform long-range queries without impacting your game's performance.
Good flight is also about more than just 3D pathfinding. Mercuna generates smoothed paths so that flight looks more realistic, avoiding any jerks or pauses as the AI flies around corners and makes turns in space. Our steering and movement modules can be configured to replicate Newtonian physics so that players get to experience real flight, but it can also be used to create a more arcade-style movement. Our dynamic avoidance system means that AI can fly around in the middle of an asteroid belt or city without crashing into each other, or into adjacent objects.
FPS and RPGs typically focus on ground-based enemies with little aerial combat or interaction. Mercuna can remove that limitation and add another dimension of gameplay by populating the skies with aerial AI. Make an FPS much more fun and unpredictable by adding flying drones that hunt down players. Allow players to range far and wide across your maps as they ride dragons through the air and gain a whole new perspective of the game in RPGs. By adding flying enemies to primarily ground-based titles you can provide a whole new element of interaction, adding variability and replayability to your game.
Dragons can use Mercuna custom EQS generators and tests to construct powerful queries to identify and prioritise attack positions, before swooping down and terrorising villages, while birds scatter and flying skulls swarm the heros. Have flying drones patrol cities hunting down players and forcing them to always keep one eye on the sky. FPS and RPG games do not need to be confined to the ground when using Mercuna to power flying AI.
We first developed Mercuna for the open, 3D worlds of space but soon realised that flying navigation was equally effective for underwater games. Mercuna can power AI to swim among underwater worlds filled with foliage, shipwrecks, tunnels, cities and so much more. With our middleware, you can have eels slithering between plants, sharks tracking its prey through rock formations and submarines lining up attacks from underwater buildings, all in the same game. Mercuna is so powerful and configurable, that you can really let your imagination go. Allow the technology to meet the vision and create an endlessly interesting and complex game.

After midterm, this meeting is the first meeting. We writing about the teacher and classroom who motivate the student and also how student manage their emotion to be motivate. We divide into three group based on the topic. After that Miss Lydia engaged us to discuss about what we write. We can see that we can decide motivated classroom and teacher based on our experience. The classroom condition and the teacher is the factor that influences student motivation. But after I read some book, I think the classroom condition is formed by the teacher. So, I conclude that teacher is a key to motivate student. But student itself has a big influence into them self. How student manage their emotion, and manage their time also important, it's a kind of self-regulation.
Based on goal orientation theory, they are separate into two. They are mastery goal and performance goal. Mastery goal is more focused on earning a high grade, and that's why I work hard to learn. My performance is better than it was at the beginning of the semester. Performance goal is I want to avoid mistakes so I can get a good grade. That's the reward for studying hard; my performance is better than other students. It's good for teacher to make student have a good mastery goal, performance goal.
sometime the class condition also based on the total student in that class and the facilities. If the total of student in the class to much, it's can be noisy and conducive. About facilities, it is also impact the student motivation. if it is comfort it will influence student motivation.

Believe it or not, it's been two and a half years since the last Harry Potter film was released (six and a half since the last novel). Like the Up Documentaries, which have tracked the lives of fourteen everyday Britons every seven years since 1964, the Harry Potter films are an impressive and important cinematic project. The eight films were completed over ten years with nearly the same cast (the key exception being of course the late Richard Harris being replaced by Michael Gambon after the second film) and four directors, and more or less stay faithful to the story told in the novels.
I've been watching the films again recently, and the thing that I notice most about them is that their quality level generally tracks the novels (exceptions noted below). Anyway here's my ranking of the films (with corresponding ranking of the novels):
8. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Directed by Chris Columbus, 2002)
Chris Columbus' second effort suffers from a variety of problems. Much ink has been spilled pointing out that the CGI Dobby is needlessly annoying, unlike the charming, silly character in the books. Furthermore, the main cast had yet to settle into their characters. The main problem, however, is the source material, in that Chamber is the weakest of the Potter novels, suffering from a convoluted plot resolved only through a series of endless deus ex machina moments. It is still an above average film, as is the novel, but suffers in comparison to the rest of the story. (Book Ranking – #7)
7. Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows, Part I (Directed by David Yates, 2010)
If any of the books should have been split into two parts, it should have been Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. As good as Deathly Hallows is at times, it suffers from slow pacing in the first half of the book, so the first part of the movie has similar issues. While the cast has at this point perfected their portrayals of the characters, splitting the last book in two just doesn't work creatively, and this movie doesn't work as a stand alone film unless you are going to watch the second, superior half in short order. (Book Ranking -#2)
6. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone (Directed by Chris Columbus, 2001)
I find the first two Harry Potter novels to be the weakest, and the films bear this out. Granted the adaptation of Sorcerer's Stone does a magnificent job setting the tone for the series, but John Williams' music and Stuart Craig's production design can only carry the film so far. Richard Harris captures Dumbledore's sense of humor and warmth, but fails to capture some of the character's more iconoclastic qualities (it could be argued that Michael Gambon takes the character in the opposite direction). And like Jo Rowling was a young, inexperienced writer, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson were extremely young, inexperienced actors. (Book Ranking – #6)
5. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Directed by David Yates, 2009)
Half-Blood Prince and Order of the Phoenix suffer from "middle book syndrome." While Order of the Phoenix is bloated, it is also arguably the lynchpin of the series. The same can't be said about Half-Blood Prince. The book is all background material and set-up for the next book, and it doesn't do a lot to advance the story considering its length. The love story between Harry and Ginny feels even more tacked on in the film than the book, and the film fails to do justice to the book's climax by cutting the important battle and funeral scenes. Still, the cast has improved a lot by this point and Yates does a good job with the story's numerous flashback scenes. (Book Ranking – #5)
4. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Directed by David Yates, 2007)
This is probably the most divisive of the Harry Potter novels, in that some people rate it as their favorite and some people despise it. The movie tamps down on some of the less successful aspects of the novel, like Harry's teenage angst and ennui, and emphasizes what the novel does well. This, after all, is the lynchpin of the plot of the entire series, it is where Harry learns about leadership, initiative, the cost of war, and the dangers of uncontrolled anger. (Book Ranking – #4)
3. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Directed by Mike Newell, 2005)
Goblet of Fire is the best of the Potter novels. It doesn't suffer from the slow start of Deathly Hallows and is structurally richer than Prisoner of Azkaban. The Tri-Wizard Tournament is the best framing device of the entire series and the ending is both heartbreaking and terrifying. The problem with Newell's film is that it shrinks down the novel too much, and focuses too much on the characters' frustrations (most notably Ron's and Dumbledore's). Still, it does a good enough job of capturing the successes of the novel to be ranked in the top three films. (Book Ranking – #1)
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II (Directed by David Yates, 2011)
I toyed with putting this one as #1, since it focuses on what I consider the best written part of the entire series: the last third of the last book. As with the end of any series, Rowling's creative choices are much debated, and the final epilogue reads like Rowling wrote it fifteen years before the rest of the book (she actually did). This film redeems the awkwardness of the written epilogue, but goes back on one of Rowling's better creative choices (the final battle between Harry and Ralph Fiennes' Voldemort takes place in an isolated location in the castle and not in full view of the surviving armies). Also, packing the weaker, first two thirds of the novel into their own film breaks up the action a bit too much to rank it ahead of number one. (Book Ranking: #2)
1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, 2004)
Prisoner of Azkaban the best of the first three, "short" novels by far, and its adaptation actually improves upon the story. As a shorter novel, it is easier to adapt, but it also had the best director in the Harry Potter films, Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Y Mama Tambien, Children of Men). This film is a compelling argument that Cuarón was instrumental in cultivating the acting talents of the three leads and setting the darker, more serious tone of the rest of the series. (Book Ranking – #3)

Get Involved and Stay Informed (02-09-2016)
Good evening, Principal Olivero here with your weekly school update.
On Tuesday, February 16th, at 2:30 pm, and at 6:00 pm, I will be conducting meetings for all stakeholders to discuss the 2016-17 school budget. As part of what is termed Local Control Funding Formula, stakeholders are encouraged to discuss funding priorities based on the allocations given to a school. As many know, the vast majority of school funding (about 95%) it tied to personnel costs. The other 5% ($227,559) has to be decided by the principal- based on stakeholder known priorities.
I know I am frequently approached by various groups wanting to know why there are more funds for certain activities and why there seems to be a constant need for fund raising among parents. To this ongoing challenge, I will share that California ranks one of the last in terms of funding per pupil for all 50 states.
I encourage all to participate in these meetings as I think it's important that all understand how the funds are being used and for what purpose.
As you know, students will be off Friday and Monday to celebrate the Presidential Weekend! However, before we break for the weekend, on Thursday night, February 11th, the PTSA is hosting an evening with Richard Lederer. Richard is a linguist, author, and columnist who discusses historical facts in a fun and entertaining manner. There are two shows planned: one will be at 4:30 pm and the other will be at 6:30 pm. There is a planned potluck in between shows so plan on bringing something! This should be a fun evening. See you there!
If I do not see you all Thursday night, have a great weekend and enjoy the four-day weekend.
Mr. O.

Actually, that's not my dining room table. It will eventually make its way there, but I'm just not a solo act. Unfortunately, the Duchess is housebound with a knee injury. I had no choice but to load up my stemware, and linens, and dishes, and accessories and play with dishes at her house.
It's a table of gratitude...
I was planning to use some other blue plates to sandwich between the white when the Sister offered up with these perfect turquoise ones. She bought them at the local grocery store.
This is why I love a group project, folks. So much better than what I had planned.
They're supposed to look like nests.
The stemware belongs to me. It's Aurora Blue by Denby and has been a fixture in this house since the Great Wedding Adventure of '84.
I love the sunshine on those napkin rings. It makes them look like a sea of glass. They belong to the Duchess. I think she got them at Bed Bath and Beyond.
The cross stitched napkins are mine, though. They're a treasure made by my grandmother. It's actually a butterfly. You can't tell when it's scooched up like that.
That slick-eared bunny doesn't belong at all.
The Sister stuck it there to see how long it would take me to notice. Then she stood there with the exact same pose and expression. She's such a twerp.
Growing up, her nickname was Thumper.
and creative therapy
for a stir crazy Duchess.
You're always welcome
I'll be sharing this for Tablescape Thursday
and for Seasonal Sundays

The world's top shipping line Maersk has implemented new guidelines on the stowage of dangerous goods after a review of its safety procedures in the aftermath of the devastating Maersk Honam fire back in March.
The shipping company says the new guidelines will improve safety across its fleet of container vessels.
"Following the tragic fire aboard Maersk Honam in March this year, Maersk took measures and implemented additional preliminary guidelines for stowage of dangerous goods," Maersk said in a press release announcing the guidelines. "The company evaluated over 3,000 United Nations (UN) numbers of hazardous materials in order to further understand and improve dangerous cargo stowage onboard container vessels and developed a new set of principles called Risk Based Dangerous Goods Stowage."
Working with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Maersk held a workshop with other industry representatives to conduct a comprehensive Hazard Identification study that validated the new guidelines. Maersk has now now implemented the guidelines across Maersk Line's fleet of more than 750 vessels.
In March of this year, five crew members of the Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV) Maersk Honam were killed when a major fire started in a forward cargo hold of the ship. Maersk said that although dangerous goods were present in the cargo hold where the fire originated, there was no evidence to suggest that dangerous goods had caused the fire, and as of today Maersk is still awaiting the investigation to establish the root cause of the fire.
Photos: The Worst Containership Disasters in Recent History
"All cargo aboard Maersk Honam was accepted as per the requirements of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code and stowed onboard the vessel accordingly. Despite this, as the fire originated in a cargo hold in front of the accommodation which held several containers with dangerous goods, it had an unbearably tragic outcome," says Ole Graa Jakobsen, Head of Fleet Technology at Maersk.
"This clearly showed us that the international regulations and practices with regards to dangerous goods stowage needs to be reviewed in order to optimally protect crew, cargo, environment and vessels."
Maersk said the new guidelines, which it calls theRisk Based Dangerous Goods Stowage principles, have been developed with the aim of minimising risk to crew, cargo, environment and vessel in case a fire develops. "The different container vessel designs were reviewed from a risk mitigation perspective and ultimately six different risk zones defined," Maersk explains.
"Cargo covered under the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code will no longer be stowed next to accommodation and main propulsion plant which is defined as the zone with the lowest risk tolerance. Similarly, risk tolerance will be low below deck and in the middle of the vessel, whereas the risk tolerance will be higher on deck fore and aft. Utilising statistics on container fires in the Cargo Incident Notification System (CINS), Maersk defined which UN numbers can be stored in each risk zone," said Maersk.
Maersk will continue to review its rules and policies for accepting dangerous goods and assess how to further improve them. Together with other members of the CINS, Maersk said it seeking to channel these experiences into developing new industry best practices.
Denmark-based Maersk has also presented Risk Based Dangerous Goods Stowage to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as well as the Danish Maritime Authorities.
"Container ship fires are a problem for our entire industry and we intend to share and discuss our learnings from this thorough review within relevant industry forums. We very much believe that discussions, views and insights among container carriers can further improve fire safety in our industry," says Ole Graa Jakobsen. "We aim for long term improvements by reviewing our systems and then designing an end-to-end process that is safe for our seafarers and smooth for our customers."
In the coming months, a review aimed at creating best management practices for dangerous goods stowage will be undertaken with help from ABS, Lloyds Register, the International Group of PandI Clubs, National Cargo Bureau, the TT Club and Exis Technologies. Once the project is completed the best management practices will be published and presented to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

They served our nation well. These brave souls sacrificed and risked everything to defend the cause for which they fought. With courage and honor they endured numerous attacks without backing down from their enemy. What a debt of gratitude we owe them! How can we thank them enough for what they did? How many things do we enjoy because they were willing to fight?
These are the men and women who followed orders and were loyal to their fellow soldiers. These are the ones who fought hard battles when they would have preferred to have been enjoying themselves. But they realized what was at stake. They had a choice: fight or be destroyed. They valiantly chose to fight. Where would we be without them?
It is fitting to honor these veterans of war. Sure, the words above apply to those who have defended our country in battle. But I am talking about a different war and a different kind of veteran.
I am talking about Christian soldiers who for years have defended the Bible when it was being attacked by their own relatives.
I am speaking of Christian men and women who have had their hearts broken and their lives torn apart by rebellious children and grandchildren yet still kept their faith.
I am talking about elders who have been betrayed by preachers and unmercifully criticized by members yet gave their best to the congregation.
I have in mind husbands who have been married for years and who have fought off the devil's temptations to be unfaithful to their wives.
I am thinking of Christian women who have refused to let worldly attitudes and priorities rule them and their children.
I am talking about veteran preachers of the gospel who have been attacked by envious brethren, slandered by denominationalists, and betrayed by ungodly elders but refused to compromise the truth or develop a bitter spirit.
I am speaking of spouses who have had their lives shattered by an unfaithful mate but have stayed faithful to God.
I have in mind cancer patients and people with other debilitating illnesses who fight the urge to quit and determine to face life with faith and a smile.
I am speaking of adults who were emotionally, physically or sexually abused as children but who fought the temptation to pity themselves and hate others and grew into happy, productive Christians.
I am talking about those who lost their parents or their spouse and have battled loneliness for years without turning their back on God.
I am commending those veteran Christians who have struggled with the frustrations of a physical handicap all their life.
Christians are soldiers at war (I Tim. 6:12; II Tim 2:3-4; Eph. 6:10-18). We are in charge of national security because we have a "holy nation" to defend (I Pet. 2:9). The war is not over for these veterans. They must fight until they near the end and can say with Paul, "I have fought a good fight" (II Tim. 4:7). But it is good to look back at the battles they have fought and express appreciation for the service they have rendered in the kingdom.

When it comes to classical music involving pieces highlighting the Violin, a favorite performer of mine is Gil Shaham. One of the pieces I have listened to many times and seen live with him playing (I think twice) is Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor (#64). Here are each of the movements-- 1. Allegro 2. Andante 3. Allegro molto vivace A treat.
Yes, but was he the best defensive SS since Mark Belanger? It's kind of sad when you win 8 Gold Gloves, and are only the second-best left-sided infielder on your team, arguably only the second-best defensive shortstop in your team's history (Luis Aparicio is more famous), and nobody even remembers who you are despite playing as recently as 32 years ago. (Of course, Belanger is (unfortunately) deceased, and also had a career batting average of something like .032.) It's okay, Mark - *I* remember you. What's interesting about Smith and Belanger (and no, I don't honestly think Belanger was as good as Smith) is that they both played very vertical - [brooks] Robinson and Simmons play more horizontally, if that makes any sense. Yeah, both SSs had excellent lateral range, but they just "looked" like they were playing up-and-down as opposed to side-to-side. [BTW, I welcome people who grew up loving other teams to write about them and their players. All views welcome here, and the more information, the better.]
Well, "The Big Lebowski" is another picture that nobody can believe I'd never seen before, but I hadn't (this, and "This Is Spinal Tap" were the two I'd really been wanting to watch for a long, long time). I was really getting into this film - a great comedy to be sure - when the terrorist attacks hit Nice, and pretty much ruined it for me. Still, that doesn't lessen the movie - Jeff Bridges is brilliant, and so is just about everybody else. I don't think I've ever seen a Coen Brothers film that I don't like - they are geniuses in the mold of Matt Groening. I'm not up for a big, long write-up, but I'd love to discuss the movie with anyone who wants to. This Nice attack has pretty much wiped out any comedic effects the film had on me tonight; tomorrow I'll be better - I'm not going to let those assholes compromise anything about my life.
For a very un-Trek like approach to moral issues, check out the Babylon 5 episodes "Believers" and "Confessions and Lamentations." Next Gen was Star Trek updated for the 90s; Babylon 5 is the gritty answer to Trek that Deep Space Nine tried to be but rarely succeeded.
A few years ago, I was preparing for a trip to northern Spain and southern/southwestern France, which was to include a visit to Bilbao, where I'd never been before. I've been an ardent lover for most of my life of the musical works produced by the collaboration of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, so naturally my thoughts turned to the "Bilbao-Song" from Happy-End. Googling it, or YouTubing it, I chanced upon a version of it translated into French and sung by the late French singer Catherine Sauvage. I don't know why I was unfamiliar with her work untl then, but I fell in love with her immediately, and have never woken from the dream. Here she is singing "Bilbao-Song". Here she is singing a French version of the Brecht-Weill song "Nannas Lied", their penultimate collaboration.* (I used a line from this in my signature here for a while: "Et en fin d'compte, mes réserves s'épuisent", although I might more poignantly have used "Et en fin d'compte, on n'a pas toujours dix-sept ans".) Catherine Sauvage is especially associated with the songs of Léo Ferré, as here with "Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent?". And here most wonderfully with "Paris-Canaille". And here. And stupendously here. *The refrain in the French lyric runs "Hier tu pleures, oí¹ sont tes larmes? Oí¹ est la neige qui tombait l'an dernier?" (Yesterday you weep, where are your tears? Where is the snow that fell last year?) Brecht's original is "Wo sind die Tränen von gestern Abend? Wo ist der Schnee vom vergangenen Jahr?" (Where are the tears from yesterday evening? Where is the snow from last year?) These harken back, of course, to the repeated question in Franí§ois Villon's famous ballade: "Mais oí¹ sont les neiges d'antan?" which Dante Gabriel Rossetti put into English as "where are the snows of yesteryear?", in which he coined the word "yesteryear", not much used since except in The Lone Ranger.

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Adds 201 Salamander Species to Injurious Amphibians List
Citing a necessity to protect the interests of wildlife and wildlife resources from the introduction, establishment and spread of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has announced an interim rule on Jan. 13 that adds all species of salamanders from 20 genera (of which there are 201 species) to the list of injurious amphibians. The interim rule, effective Jan. 28, prohibits both importation into the U.S. and interstate transportation of any live or dead specimen (including parts) of these 20 genera of salamanders.
An exception is made for permitted zoological, educational, medical or scientific purposes (in accordance with permit conditions) and for federal agencies without a permit solely for their own use.
According to Washington, D.C.-based Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC), which has supported establishing a moratorium and put one into place voluntarily within the trade, the rule as written does not allow for sunsetting if an effective testing and treatment regimen is established, said in a statement.
"PIJAC, along with other concerned organizations, have been in discussions with the U.S. government for over a year concerning the Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, or Bsal, fungus," PIJAC's statement reads. "This native Asian fungus has impacted fire salamander populations in Belgium and the Netherlands. We have become extremely concerned that Bsal or other pathogens could make their way to the United States prior to any government action to stop it.
"This is a disease that exists in other parts of the world and the pet industry is as concerned as anyone that it not be introduced here. As there is no evidence that Bsal has made its way to the U.S., however, a ban on interstate transport is completely unjustified. The movement within the country of salamanders that are indigenous or have been domestically raised will harm commerce and will have no effect on our efforts to keep infected animals from entering the country.
"Government, industry, non-governmental organizations and academia are working to develop effective testing and treatment regimens. PIJAC felt that until such time as these can be developed and distributed, the threat to the U.S. salamander population dictates that the responsible course of action was to temporarily suspend imports of Firebelly and Paddletail newts. Unfortunately, the proposed rule fails to establish a mechanism to lift the ban once effective testing and treatment are possible."

Wall Street boasts several excellent performances (including Michael Douglas who won the Best Actor Oscar and Golden Globe for 1987) and fascinating ideas, delving into the world of stockbrokers and their involvement in greed and morality. These aren't uncommon ideas, but taking a look into a world rarely investigated by feature films sheds some light on an industry that typically caters only to the wealthy. There are consequences and reactions for every trade and scrutiny by many unlikeable characters. Just as the stock market itself seems to exist for upper-class New Yorkers, Wall Street the movie favors those with prior knowledge of corporate raiding, insider trading and more than just the basics of stocks and investing.Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) is an account executive stockbroker, working his way from being the little guy at a medium-sized firm to dreaming up a career as an investment banker. As he works alongside friends (John C. McGinley as the over-enthusiastic Marv) and older acquaintances (Hal Holbrook as Lou, the seasoned broker who never pushed his way into the big times), Bud realizes that he needs to add the wheeling-and-dealing millionaire Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) to his client list in order to make it to the top. When he finally gets his foot in the door, he realizes the dangerously affluent man doesn't need another broker – he needs an insider.
Bud's first mission is to follow around Sir Larry Wildman (Terence Stamp), a notably wealthy investor whose presence in New York most certainly involves stocks. This activity leads to more underhanded tactics, including spilling inside information about his father's (Martin Sheen) employer Blue Star Airlines, which Gordon sees as the perfect opportunity to exploit. Although the ruthless moneyman shows Bud the ropes, teaching him all the ways in which the art of war applies to stock trading, the young broker begins to realize that greed isn't always good.
The downfall of the movie is the heavy Wall Street lingo that starts in fast and never lets up. Withholding explanations to the fancier terminology doesn't help either, especially when much of the suspense relies on a fairly solid understanding of the stock market. The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) is constantly on the lookout for red flags for insider trading, but it wouldn't be unlikely to question what exactly is legal or illegal about the many questionable endeavors Fox undertakes. Inside information is where the real money is at, but Wall Street doesn't divulge too many definitions for those unsure of what Gekko and Fox are playing at.
As for performances, Daryl Hannah plays Darien Taylor in a remarkably unconvincing role as Bud's interior designer love interest, James Spader makes a brief appearance as a young lawyer, Charlie Sheen seems a tad overdramatic in the lead as his wealth deteriorates his morals, Martin Sheen is more memorable as the father, and Douglas steals the show as the rich guy you love to hate. Banking $800,000 per day, he's the perfect realistic villain for a movie about greed. "Why are we roasting this guy? Did we run out of human beings?"- Mike Massie

SIBOR stands for Singapore Interbank Offered Rate [1] and SIBOR stands for Singapore Interbank Offered Rate [1] and is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer unsecured funds to other banks in the Singapore wholesale money market (or interbank market ). It is similar to the widely used LIBOR ( London Interbank Offered Rate ), and Euribor (Euro Interbank Offered Rate). Using SIBOR is more common in the Asian region and set by the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS).
SIBOR comes in 1-, 3-, 6-, or 12-month tenure. At the end of the tenure, the borrowing bank returns the borrowed fund to the lending bank. The 3-month SIBOR is the most popular rate that has been rated as one of the hottest places in the past few years.
Many floating rate mortgages in the country are pegged to SIBOR due to its transparency. Alternatives to SIBOR include SOR, Fixed-rate mortgages, Combos (Combination of SIBOR and SOR). Although they may be higher or lower than SIBOR at any point in time, they usually move in tandem with the direction of SIBOR and are used by banks to help price loans.

How Long Does Teething Last in Newborns and Babies?
Babies may find new teeth erupting as early as 4 months old. Parents may tire of the teething process if their little ones are prone to fussing and swollen gums. Though the teething time frame can vary from baby to baby, parents can do plenty to ease the pain during such a big change in baby's life.
When Does Teething Begin In Infants?
Most babies will begin teething between 4 and 7 months, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics 1. Some babies may begin months after that period, and this is not necessarily a cause for concern. If a baby's parents began teething later than average, then baby also will likely teethe later than average. A fever below 101 degrees Fahrenheit and fussing are common symptoms of teething, as are sore and swollen gums. When teething begins, parents may first notice that babies are drooling more often than usual, according to KidsHealth 23.
How Long Does Teething Last?
Teething is an ongoing process, and once it begins, it will continue through the rest of your child's infancy. Most children finish teething during the toddler years, typically around the second birthday, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics 1. Toddlers should have all 20 of their teeth by their third birthdays, advises KidsHealth. If your child is still teething past his third birthday or if his development seems to be behind compared to other children, ask your pediatrician for advice 1.
Managing Teething Symptoms
Parents may wonder how long teething will last if their babies are struggling with teething symptoms. Chilling a rubber teething ring in the fridge for half an hour before giving it to baby can relieve gum soreness, says Boston Children's Hospital 1. Parents can also substitute a cold, clean cloth for a teething ring. Never give your baby any frozen items when teething. During teething, babies may also prefer to eat chilled foods rather than hot or room temperature foods.
Additional Help
Some parents may endure frequent sleep disruptions because of teething. If your infant seems to be struggling, contact her pediatrician for an evaluation, especially if your baby has a fever higher than 101 degrees or if she is vomiting or having diarrhea. These are not typical symptoms of teething and may be a sign of another illness, according to KidsHealth 23. Ask your baby's pediatrician if you can give her children's acetaminophen or ibuprofen to relieve the pain. Never give your child aspirin, as aspirin is unsafe for children, because it may cause Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness that has been associated with use of salicylates during a viral illness.

LAKE ARROWHEAD (CBSLA.com) – A Lake Arrowhead couple in their 50s was found dead Wednesday in their home in what investigators believe was a murder-suicide.
The couple was found just before 3:30 p.m. at their home in the 900 block of Hospital Road by San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies who were responding to a welfare check.
Deputies entered the home to find the bodies of 57-year-old Steven Montoya, 57, and 58-year-old Valorie Montoya.
The deputies had been dispatched to the home in response to a call by a concerned family member.
Homicide detectives believe the deaths were likely the result of a murder-suicide, the sheriff's department said. The circumstances of the killings were not disclosed.

Wolverines Get By Wapsie Valley For Semifinal Berth [PHOTOS]
Dike-New Hartford ended Wapsie Valley's season with a victory in the Class 2A quarterfinals of the Iowa High School State Volleyball Tournament in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday (Nov. 8, 2017).
The No. 1 ranked and top-seeded Wolverines (49-3) won the only first-round match-up involving area teams, advancing to the semifinals for the second-straight year by sweeping the Warriors in straight sets. Scores were 25-12, 25-9 and 25-9.
Baylee Petersen led Dike-New Hartford with 22 attacks, 10 kills and 11 digs. Her sister Sydney had a team-high 16 digs. Together, the twin daughters of UNI volleyball head coach Bobbi Petersen recorded 27 of the Wolverines' 47 digs.
Wapsie Valley (21-16) was led by Mikenna Joerger, who ended the afternoon with 26 attacks and five kills. Kaci Beesecker tallied a team-high 13 digs.
It was the second match this season between the North Iowa Cedar League rivals. Dike-New Hartford also won the earlier battle, 3-0, on Sept. 26.
The loss ends the season for the Warriors, who earned their fifth trip to state by stunning seventh-ranked Lake Mills in the regional final. With just three seniors on the roster, Wapsie Valley is looks to be a strong contender in the future.
Dike-New Hartford is the defending Class 3A champion and is in the tournament for the 11th-straight season and 28th time overall. The Wolverines take a shot at winning another title at 4 p.m. Thursday, when they return to the court for their semifinal match.

Hikkaduwa, or Hikka as it is lovingly called, is a quaint little beach resort in Sri Lanka's southern coast. It's well-known for its beach, colourful corals and warm waters that are ideal for play.
One of the three marine national parks of the country, the Hikkaduwa National Park has a high degree of biodiversity. It was declared as a wildlife sanctuary in 1979 and was upgraded to a nature reserve in 1988. So, snorkelling here is a surreal experience as you are met with a colourful assortment of corals. Some of the coral species of corals found here include cabbage, staghorn, brain, elkhorn, table and star corals. In addition to corals, there is also a recorded number of 170 species of reef fish found in the Hikakkaduwa coral gardens.
With the largest concentration of diving schools in Sri Lanka, scuba diving is one of the foremost water sports to try out in Hikkaduwa. Though you are presented with many options, make sure that the place you choose has PADI certified instructors. One of the ways you can be sure of a safe scuba trip is to book a hotel like Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon which offers the activity as part of their facilities. The benefits of booking with one such hotel are that it'll throw you in the way of receiving other inclusive activities not to mention some of the best hotel offers Sri Lanka.
Once, you're done with all the formalities, its dive time! There are quite a number of good dive spots in Hikkaduwa and they include the Black Coral Point, the Coral Garden Cave, and Kirala Gala, to name a few. You can also find a more than a few shipwrecks around here such as the Avondster, a ship owned by the Dutch East India (VOC) that was loaded with areca nuts when it slipped anchor and hit the shore before sinking.
With a reputation as being the second best surf spot in Sri Lanka, Hikkaduwa has plenty of surf breaks to suit both the amateurs and the pros. There are three main breaks, which includes the beach break for the beginners, situated in the south; the one towards the middle which can get pretty crowded and the one towards the north which has smaller waves but less crowded.
The best time to surf would be between April and October when the ocean swells are pretty consistent at 4-7 feet and you'll the ideal wind conditions.
If you're real keen on fishing you'll be glad to know that big game fishing is all the rage in Hikka. There are many good operators in the area who offer deep sea fishing tours. But be sure to book a tour that's skippered by professional fishermen under safe standards and are inclusive of refreshments, as you don't want to be stuck on a boat for 3-4 hours without any food. If you like, some of these tours can also extend up to half day and whole day trips.
During your tour, you'll be fishing for big game such as sailfish, tuna, wahoo, dorado (dolphinfish), barracuda, king mackerel, marlin and the giant trevally.

Spoon Skull with Mint Crystals
This edgy necklace is made from a silver plated spoon. It has a beautiful twig base metal clasp and mint colored crystals on a sterling silver chain. The necklace is 20 1/2 inches around and the pendant is just under 2 inches.
Caring For your Jewelry: Sterling silver, copper & bronze naturally oxidize over time when exposed to air and other corrosive chemicals, including but not limited to, lotions, perfumes, chlorinated or salted water. In addition, wearing your jewelry while bathing is not recommended as the water vapor and chemicals in the water will speed up tarnishing. Should your jewelry require cleaning, you may use a liquid soap (such as Dawn dishwashing liquid) mixed with water. Rub gently and pat your jewelry dry with a soft cloth. Jewelry should be completely dry prior to storage. Natural stones and glass jewelry can shatter. Dropping jewelry on hard floors may result in breakage.

Dealing With Bad Weather On Your Wedding Day
It's episode four of the first season of the Put A Ring On It Podcast and we're talking about bad weather on your wedding day. This episode features three guests who got married during two MAJOR weather events in 2011… and lived to tell the tale. First up, Amanda talks about her wedding in the middle of Hurricane Irene. In the second half, Kristen and Joe talk about the freak snowstorm that caused their venue to lose total power.
You can also listen on iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play.
What we talked about:
- Have a Plan B – and make sure you're "ok" with it as an option
- Talk with your venue about WHEN you need to make the call as to whether or not you'll be using your Plan B – most venues need HOURS or even a few days notice to make the adjustment.
- Hire great pros that you feel comfortable with and that you trust
- Your guests will take cues from you and your partner: If you freak out, they likely will, too; if you stay calm, they will probably follow suit.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Jun 8, 2017 / 06:01 am MT ().- The Danish parliament has repealed an anti-blasphemy law at a time when such laws are still used around the world.
"I am glad they are dropping the law. But the law was almost never used in the last 46 years, so it is only a small step," Paul Marshall, Wilson Professor of Religious Freedom at Baylor University, told CNA. He thought it significant that it had not been used in recent instances of blasphemy against Christians.
"Throughout the world blasphemy laws and accusations are misused, and they are bad even if used as intended," Marshall said. "They are vague, and are frequently used against dissenters and critics of dominant religious and political views. Most of their use is against anyone accused of criticizing Islam."
Bruno Jerup, a spokesman on church issues for the Denmark's Red-Green Alliance political party, characterized the Danish law as "an unnecessary narrowing of freedom of speech" that "sends the wrong signal to the world that it is acceptable to be punished for criticizing God and religions," the Copenhagen Post reports.
The Danish People's Party had also supported repealing the law, while the Social Democrats were supportive of the legislation.
In the history of the law, only eight cases were brought under it. Only two sets of convictions have resulted. A 1938 conviction punished four people who hanged up public posters and printed in newspapers mockeries of Jewish belief. In 1946, two people were convicted for mock-baptizing a doll during a masked ball in Copenhagen.
The law was dropped in response to charges filed earlier this year against a man who in 2015 burned a copy of the Quran and posted the video to Facebook. The accused could have faced a sentence of up to four months in prison, but the prosecutor sought only a fine. His trial had been scheduled for June.
While Marshall said he would agree with some opposition to blasphemy, he opposed criminalization, saying that "dragging the modern state into the matter increases hostility and will not have the desired effect."
He said the repeal of the Danish law would probably have little effect around the world. Some might take it as a sign that they should ease anti-blasphemy laws, while others "would be outraged that a man burned a Quran and was unpunished."
In some countries such laws "tend to lead to mob and vigilante violence – which is a far greater threat to those accused than is state action."
Marshall cited the case of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, a Christian and former governor of Jakarta more commonly known as Ahok, who last month was sentenced to two years in jail for criminal blasphemy in Indonesia. Ahok denied the charge, saying Islamic hardliners' edited version of his speech wrongly triggered the charges alongside mass protests.
Ahok's speech accused some of his opponents for misusing a Quran verse to trick people into voting against him.
Marshall was also critical of hate speech laws in Denmark and elsewhere.
One such law was used in the case against Lars Hedegaard, a Danish Marxist historian and journalist who has made strong criticisms of Islam. In 2011 he was fined on evidence of a recording of his remarks at home which criticized Islamic society, including claims of familial rape. The fine was thrown out in a 2013 decision by the Danish Supreme Court.
"In practice these function as quasi-blasphemy laws, or are ways of silencing unpopular views," Marshall said.
"I would like to see these 'hate speech' laws repealed as well, for the reasons just mentioned, but also because they don't work – they increase conflict and hatred, not diminish it."

If an investor owns a stock on the ex-dividend date, the investor is entitled to receive the dividend and it will be deposited in her investment account on the payment date. The day before the ex-dividend date is the last day to buy the stock and still receive the dividend. Corporations are under no obligation to stick to a specific schedule for dividend date so an investor must do a little research and watch the news.
Determine the approximate dividend declaration dates of the stocks for which you want the ex-dividend dates. The best resource for this information is the news release listing on the investor page of the company's website. Most companies pay dividends four times a year and there will be a news or earnings release that announces the pertinent dividend dates.
Read the dividend news announcements and make note of the date of the announcement, dividend record date and dividend payment date. The announcements are at approximately the same time each year. An important piece of information is the time between the dividend announcement and the record date.
Watch the company's news releases for the next dividend announcement. It will be a date close to previous years. Read the dividend announcement and note the dividend record date.
Calculate the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is two business days before the record date. Do not count weekends and holidays.
Most companies offer email notification of press releases. Sign up on the investor page of the website to get the news as soon as it is released. There are websites that give ex-dividend information for a fee. The provide some information for free, but a paid subscription is required for most of the information. The value of the stock drops on the ex-dividend date by the amount of the dividend.
No dividend is guaranteed or paid on a specific date until it is declared by a company's board of directors. Do not assume a stock will go ex-dividend on a specific date without reading the specific dividend declaration.
