Halloween Fun 2017
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it's time to break out the decorations and plan your costume since Hallowe'en the most "Spooktacular" time of year will soon be upon us! In Burlington Halloween events are plentiful which means lots of opportunities to dress up, trick or treat, carve pumpkins and more.
Spooktacular Halloween at Mountsberg Conservation Area
Get ready for a month of fun as Mountsberg magically transforms their Play Barn into a spooky haunted barn for this family fun event! Every weekend in October , explore the barn, carve a pumpkin to take home plus many more activities. Be sure to stay for the Owls and Vultures in the Birds of Prey shows. Show up in costume and get a free apple cider (adults too!).
Burlington Ghost Walks
Many find the idea of a ghost walk fun or intriguing, so for those of you that love a good haunting, be sure to sign up for one of the ghost walks happening in October. All walks start/meet outside of Emma's Back Porch where you will spend an entertaining couple of hours visiting numerous locations among the spirits. Be sure to reserve your spot in advance via their website.
Camper Halloween at Bronte Creek Provincial Park
Campers at Bronte Creek are in for a (trick or) treat October 14-15 and 21-22 as the park gets into the spirit of Halloween with Camper Hallowe'en. On Friday night, learn the history and traditions of All Hallows Eve "Halloween" and enjoy stories, games and music – the public is welcome to join in this event. The Saturday event for registered campers is SOLD OUT.
Halloween Spooktacular at the Streetcar Museum
Offered for one night only on October 28 head north to the Streetcar Museum for this all ages Halloween event. Visitors can walk through the haunted car barn and travel in the old, creaky streetcars along the mainline. Costumes are encouraged but not required (we know you want to wear one!). Enjoy some hot apple cider & scary snacks before heading home.
Spooky Splash
Enjoy some wet and wild fun at Tansley Woods Community Centre on Saturday Oct 28 from 1-4:30 pm at their Spooky Splash.
Trick or Treat with Mapleview Centre
Little ghouls and goblins will have a great time at Mapleview Centre on Monday October 30 at 6pm as they present their annual trick or treat event. Dress up in costume and trick or treat around the mall at participating retailers (6-7pm only). Join the photo booth fun and create your own ghoulish flip book from 5-8 pm.
Treats in Our Streets in Downtown Burlington
Get an early start on your trick or treating with this family oriented event in the downtown core on October 28 from 11 am – 2pm. Dress up the kids (and join in with a costume of your own) and pick up your "treat bag" and map at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre before heading out for some daytime trick or treating. For more details on what to see and do, visit their website.
Halloween Event at Burlington Mall
On October 29 make plans to visit Burlington Mall from 11am to 2pm for their annual Halloween event. Children and parents are invited to visit the free face painting and photo stations. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the moments. Also, enjoy free candy for the kids while supplies last. Burlington Mall will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items for the Gift of Giving Back – kids feeding kids.
Hallowe'en Weekend at KOA Toronto West
Celebrate Halloween at the Toronto West KOA with themed fun for registered campers (and cabiners –if that's a word) on Oct. 20-22. Bring your costume and join in the costume parade, make some spooky Hallowe'en crafts and gather by the campfire for a (not too) scary Hallowe'en story. Sunday head to the Kampstore for their pancake breakfast – we can personally vouch for the deliciousness and it's all for a great cause.
Great Pumpkin Trail at the Royal Botanical Gardens – SOLD OUT
This event is so popular that it already has sold out for this year so you will have to check the RBG website and enewsletters for next year. This event has a trail, lit by hundreds of jack-o-lanterns (I would bring a little flashlight as it gets quite dark and can be tricky with kids to negotiate the trail). After you've explored the trail, enjoy live entertainment, face painting and pumpkin-themed activities and games.
We hope you have a great Halloween and if you're in the neighbourhood stop by and say hi (we will have candy soon!) We are always here to help, for more information on what to see and do in Burlington give us a call at 877.499.9989, visit our website or connect with us on twitter or facebook.

Communication with Office 365¶
To manage settings of the different Office 365 services, the Office 365 CLI uses REST APIs exposed by the corresponding services. Using the REST APIs is meant to promote consistency and reusability of code and tests across the CLI no matter which Office 365 service the CLI is communicating with.
Some SharePoint Online commands deviate from this rule and mimic SharePoint CSOM calls instead. This is done out of necessity as some operations, such as managing Office 365 CDN settings or tenant properties, are not exposed through REST APIs. Whenever REST APIs become available for these operations, the affected commands will be changed to use REST APIs instead of mimicking CSOM calls.

Ryan Day has dropped his revamping of Ohio State's defensive coaching staff into overdrive.
Earlier this afternoon, reports surfaced that Greg Schiano is out as defensive coordinator and would be replaced by Michigan defensive line coach Greg Mattison. Now, it's been confirmed by the football program that Mattison will share coordinating duties for the Buckeyes with Jeff Hafley (pictured).
The 39-year-old Hafley — he'll turn 40 in April — has spent the past three seasons as the defensive backs coach for the San Francisco 49ers.
Day was the 49ers quarterbacks coach during Hafley's first season in San Francisco. Hafley's last seven seasons have been spent in the NFL, with his last job at the collegiate level coming at Rutgers in 2011 as part of the coaching staff of… Schiano, the man he'll partly replace. Hafley was also on Schiano's Tampa Bay Buccaneers staff for both seasons.
In addition to those moves, OSU also announced that defensive line coach Larry Johnson has been given the title of associate head coach.
The fate of the remaining members of the defensive staff has yet to be revealed.

The Jazz Café, Camden
We are excited to present the UK debut of Shafiq Husayn – musician, producer, songwriter, and recording artist who has worked with some of the top artists in R&B, hip-hop, soul, funk, and beyond.
Best known as one third of innovative Los Angeles musical collective Sa Ra Creative Partners, Husayn has produced for the likes of Erykah Badu, Andre 3000, John Legend, Kanye West, Jurassic 5, Bilal, and many more.
In recent years, Shafiq has helped launch the careers of some of the most influential new artists to emerge from L.A., serving as a mentor to Anderson .Paak and working with Ty Dolla $ign before his rise to fame.
His solo debut Shafiq En' A‑Free-Ka drew widespread critical acclaim, and he earned a Grammy for his work on Robert Glasper's breakthrough album Black Radio. Now, Shafiq Husayn is back with The Loop, the long-awaited follow-up to Shafiq En' A‑Free-Ka.
The eclectic album features an all-star cast of Shafiq's most prominent collaborators, including contributions from Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak, Hiatus Kaiyote, Robert Glasper, Thundercat, Bilal, Flying Lotus, N'Dambi, Coultrain, Jimetta Rose, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, and more.
Blending lush live instrumentation with futuristic synths and otherworldly vocals, The Loop is a genre-defying opus incorporating spaced-out funk, raw neo-soul, free jazz, hip-hop beats, and electronic elements.

ChapCare Health Center
1595 N. Lake Ave.
Pasadena, CA
Kelly Shearer
Join us ChapCare opens its new state-of-the-art health center located on 1595 N. Lake Avenue in northwest Pasadena. The need for this new health center cannot be overstated. The new health center will replace ChapCare's Lake Health Center, also in northwest Pasadena. ChapCare's Lake Health Center was small (with only 5 medical exam rooms) and needed significant repairs (roof repairs, etc.). In 2018, ChapCare provided 6,820 medical visits to 2,396 unduplicated patients at that site. The new 4,500 square foot health center will have 13 medical exam rooms (an increase of 8), and 4 behavioral health counseling rooms (including 1 group room). At full capacity, ChapCare expects to be able to serve 3,800 unduplicated patients at this new health center, an increase of over 1,400 from its previous Lake Health Center site.
Festivities begin at 9:30am, ribbon cutting at 10:30am

Road salt creates environmental concerns, city looks for solutions
COLUMBIA - Each winter tons of road salt are applied to roads to keep them safe, but environmentalists say the salt can impact water quality and the ecosystem.
The salt often runs from the road into lakes and streams.
"Removing the road salt from water is very difficult," said US Geological Services toxicologist Jeff Steevens.
He said, if the salt levels in the water became too high, they could hypothetically effect the drinkability of the water.
One study suggests, by the year 2050, the salt in U.S. lakes will surpass what's healthy for animals, plants and microorganisms living in the water. It says the salt will begin effecting the taste of drinking water at a noticeable level.
Columbia Public Works Engineering Manager Richard Stone said the city begins each winter season with 5,000 tons of road salt. Depending on snow fall and icy conditions, the city has to replenish the salt to keep roads clear for the entire winter.
To ease environmental concerns and use the most effective products available, the public works department has looked to alternatives.
Stone said Columbia uses beet juice in addition to road salt. He said the beet juice has many benefits.
"It is better for the environment, a little bit more effective and stays on roads a little bit longer," he said.
The beet juice is mixed with road salt and then applied to curbs, hills, bridges and intersections, Stone said.
Other cities use pickle juice, garlic salt and cheese brine to help clear their roads.
Steevens said it's important to look at alternatives, while considering their performance.
"What are the environmental risks associated with the road salt versus the risks of me wrecking my car because the roads are slippery," He said.

Manapua, Hawaii's Dim Sum
Manapua, Hawaii's Dim Sum
What's manapua? Well it's Hawaii's dim sum. Manapua tastes somewhat like Chinese dim sum. But it has a somewhat different taste. To some it's a meatier and fuller version of Chinese dim sum. People in Hawaii also serve it in a manner quite different from traditional Chinese dim sum.
Typically, manapua is a steamed pork-filled bun. If we were in China, some would generally refer to it as char sui bao. But manapua could also include other types of dim sum dishes. In Hawaii, this would include pork hash (sui mai), pepeiao (fun guo), half moon (gok jai) as well as rice cake (bak tongoh).
Manapua Nostalgia
Older residents of Hawaii can remember the days when the friendly neighborhood manapua man would come by your house. He would carry two large metal cans, each balanced on the ends of a long wooden pole. The manapua man would carry the stick on the backside of his neck. Those were the days. The iconic manapua man would walk down your street. He would shout out the words, "manapua, pepeiao, manapua pepeiao!" This would always get your attention. After this, he would you sell you fresh manapua that was still warm from his covered metal cans.
Unfortunately today, the colorful manapua man no longer sells manapua. But you can still get manapua at various mom and pop establishments throughout the state. Hawaii's dim sum, manapua, remains a favorite among local people. Many office workers buy them for meetings and breakfasts similar to how people buy doughnuts on the mainland. Char Hung Sut and Royal Kitchen are some of the more popular manapua places in downtown Honolulu. There's also Libby's in the Kalihi area of Honolulu. We encourage you to try them for an early morning treat in the Aloha State.

B. T. Rosson
It has been shown that certain characteristic equations of eigenproblems produce results in which the golden ratio is revealed. The characteristic equations that produce these results are developed for application to a broad range of physical systems. The resulting equations provide the background to understand why these results are obtained and the physical system requirements needed to produce them. Two physical systems that typically involve eigenproblems in structural mechanics are used to illustrate the use of the equations. The analysis of natural frequencies and principal stresses involve characteristic equations of the general form presented in the paper. Examples are presented that demonstrate how the equations can be used to determine the physical conditions that are necessary to produce golden ratio solutions, and also how they may be utilized to study the dimensions of the natural world. Keywords: golden ratio, characteristic equation, eigenproblem, Fibonacci series, frequency, principal stress, dimensions. 1 Introduction A few physical systems have been discovered that reveal the golden ratio in the solution of the equations that predict their natural behavior or response to external action. Since the vast majority of physical systems do not reveal such results, one seems left to discover these unique systems somewhat serendipitously. It is to be expected that systems with physical properties of golden proportion will reveal these results, but for physical systems that do not, finding the conditions to produce them are not so obvious. For instance, the structural system in Fig. 1 has no physical properties that contain the golden proportion, but Moorman and Goff [1] have shown that the system's natural

This is one of my favourite combinations as the tender asparagus coated in the pine nut and lemon dressing works so beautifully together.
Asparagus with toasted pine nuts, lemon and parsley
Serves 4
24 spears (6 each)
30g fresh pine nuts, toasted until golden
1 clove garlic, crushed to a paste
1 lemon, zest and juice
Handful fresh italian parsley, roughly chopped
50ml extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt flakes
Freshly cracked black pepper
Begin by making the toasted pine nuts dressing.
Place a dry fry pan over a moderate heat and toast the nuts until a deep golden colour all over. Remove and cool.
Mix the lemon zest, garlic and parsley together, stir to combine, add the lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust if necessary. Set aside.
Put a suitably sized saucepan half-filled with lightly salted water on to boil.
Prepare the asparagus by snapping off the ends (they will snap when each end is held, it will break where it is tender and tough). Set aside the tender spears and discard the ends or use for stock.
When the water is boiling, gently place the asparagus in and cook for 4 minutes or until just tender. Drain the asparagus.
Place the asparagus on to a platter and pour over the pine nut dressing.
Serve at once.

Bone metabolism disorder in epileptic children
Iranian Journal of Child Neurology,
Vol. 12 No. 2 (2018),
14 March 2018
Page 17-24
Background and Objective: There are frequent anti-epileptic drugs which are used in management of epilepsy. Anti-epileptic drugs may have some complications on bone and vitamin-D metabolism. In this study we aimed to Comparison of Bone metabolism disorder in epileptic children with health child in zahedan
Methods: This case-control study was performed on bone metabolism disorder in epileptic children. Forty epileptic children was enetered to the study based on accessability scheme and 40 participants randomly selected for control group from those who were referred to the centers for rutine check up. Blood samples were collected from all participants to assess serum calcium, phosphorus, PTH, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium urine, serum albumin, creatinine random urine. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software.
Results: Of 40 epileptic children 23 (57.5%) and 17 (42.5%) were male and female respectively. The prevalence of low vitamin D was 37.5% for patients compared to 12.5% for controls (chi-square = 6.667 and p= 0.010). Of 80 participants, 15 individuals had abnormal PTH level which is distributed of 2 and 13 for patients and control groups respectively (chi-square = 9.928 and p= 0.002). In the cases of Ca and Mg their levels were similar in both patients and controls. The status of the parameters in the classification of normal and abnormal assessed based on number of medications intake resulted that number of medications intake had not effect on the parameters status.
Conclusion: our study, like previous studies showed that in epileptic children, frequency of hyperparathyroidy and vitamin D deficiency increased.

Airbus Pokes Trump, Boeing With Bombardier Deal
In an agreement announced on Monday, Airbus has agreed to provide support for Bombardier's C Series aircraft in exchange for a 50.01% stake in "C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership" (CSALP), a firm formed in 2015 that included Bombardier (62%) and Investissement Quebec (38%). Once the deal closes, Bombardier will hold 31% of CSALP and Quebec will hold 19%.
The agreement is a win for Bombardier, which now gets some financial muscle, and for Airbus, which gets a controlling stake in the C Series with no capital outlay. Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) gets a poke in the eye.
The most important part of the agreement is the Airbus plan to assemble the C Series planes at its plant in Mobile, Alabama, effectively circumventing the anti-dumping tariff imposed against Bombardier by the U.S. Department of Commerce that could have raised the price of the CS-100 by up to 300%.
Bombardier has appealed the dumping decision to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), arguing that Boeing was not harmed because the U.S. company does not build an aircraft that competes with the 100- to 150-seat CS-100. The first CS-100 scheduled for delivery to a U.S. customer is scheduled for delivery to Delta Air Lines Co. (NYSE: DAL) next April.
Bombardier's CEO said on Monday that he believes Delta will be willing to wait for the first delivery until the Mobile-built planes become available. Delta placed a firm order for 75 of the aircraft with an option for an additional 50.
Neither Airbus nor Bombardier offered a timeline for manufacturing the CS-100 in Mobile. Airbus announced its intention to build the U.S. plant in 2012 and the first A320 was delivered less than three years later in mid-2015. Tooling up to build the CS-100 could be achieved even more quickly.
Airbus CEO Tom Enders said:
This is a win-win for everybody! The C Series, with its state-of-the-art design and great economics, is a great fit with our existing single-aisle aircraft family and rapidly extends our product offering into a fast growing market sector. I have no doubt that our partnership with Bombardier will boost sales and the value of this programme tremendously.
It's a win-win for everybody but Boeing and the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Wall Street Journal cites a statement from the company:
This looks like a questionable deal between two heavily state-subsidized competitors to skirt the recent findings of the U.S. government.
In other words, Boeing got blindsided and doesn't have a response. The Trump administration, likewise, can't very well argue that building the CS-100 in Alabama is anti-competitive and costing U.S. jobs.
The issue for Boeing is not so much the CS-100. Bombardier is right that Boeing doesn't have a plane that competes in that segment of the market. The issue is the next Bombardier jet, the CS-300 which goes head-to-head with the Boeing 737 and would have gone head-to-head with the Airbus A320. Now it's two against one and Boeing does not like the odds.
CSALP will have a seven-member board, four of whom are named by Airbus, two by Bombardier, and one by Investissement Quebec. Airbus will name the chairman. Shares are expected to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Boeing's shares traded down about 1.3% Tuesday morning to $256.25, in a 52-week range of $134.25 to $263.79. The stock's 12-month consensus price target is $275.73.

How Can Vaping CBD Help My Fitness Routine?
While often correlated with relaxation, CBD can also be a powerful tool for working out. Many athletes have advocated for the use of CBD, including MMA fighter Nate Diaz and former NBA player Al Harrington. Incorporating CBD vape into your fitness routine can prove beneficial to your motivation, performance, and recovery.
Exercise and CBD both interact with our endocannabinoid system. In fact, the activation of our cannabinoid receptors during a workout is what creates a "runner's high". The commonality of interaction between cannabis and exercise prompts the question: can vaping CBD help my fitness routine?
Shaping the Right Mindset
Before diving in and looking at vaping CBD, the right mindset is critical to living out a healthy lifestyle, whether you utilize CBD or not.
To anyone who is looking to get fit, remember this: it's a grind. You won't see huge differences overnight, but don't let that discourage you. Many fitness professionals state that it is better to start slow than to completely change your lifestyle overnight. Many of us hate change, so even taking a month to adjust to a fitness-centric lifestyle is a better option than to drastically change within two days.
However, with all of that being said, working out doesn't mean anything if you cannot pair that with healthy eating habits. You cannot do only half of the work and expect all of the results.
To help you reach your fitness goals, you need to do three things: work consistent, work hard, and work smart. If you have one or two of those, without the third, you won't make it. For example, you can work out 7 days a week with a hard regiment, but if you focus on just your upper body strength, it isn't a smart plan that will get you anywhere you want to go.
There is No Secret Ingredient
CBD is not a miracle pill. Like we said before, it is a tool, but it won't do everything for you. It will help you reach your goals if used correctly, however, if you rely on it and expect for your life to change due to it, nothing will happen.
Pairing CBD with a great work ethic and plan will bring you the best results in the realm of fitness.
Promoting Overall Wellness
It should be no surprise that our bodies function best when we maintain overall health. When we eat right, get enough sleep, and reduce our stress levels, we can perform optimally.
A sound mind and body are to the benefit of our workouts. When we are alert and energetic, we can give our best and challenge ourselves to get better.
CBD is a natural supplement that boasts benefits such as fighting chronic pain, inflammation and even anxiety. In addition to promoting calm and a restful sleep, taking CBD as a daily wellness supplement has been shown to support a healthy balance in our body. Supporting your overall health with CBD will help to keep your body functioning at its best.
Aiding in Recovery
It is important to care for our bodies after a workout. This includes refueling, stretching, and proper rest. Post-workout care reduces the chance of injury and helps us to get the most out of our workout. This is even made more important taking the anti-inflammatory effects of CBD into account.
While our bodies are built to heal naturally, a bit of assistance can reduce soreness and recovery time. Based on research and anecdotal evidence, taking CBD after a workout can aid in post-workout recovery.
Vaping CBD is the choice of many athletes as it enters your system immediately, making it great for pre and post-workout. As of now, the relationship between CBD and exercise is anecdotal but worth considering. As with starting a new wellness supplement, when beginning a new workout, it is important to ease into a routine.

Bodybuilding is in today and more plus more h are asking whether or not the body building supplements available in the market today can help them reach their goals. The truth is choosing to take you are a personal decision. You can choose for taking natural supplements, like minerals and nutritional vitamins to help build muscles naturally and effectively. On the other hand, there are several bodybuilding supplements in the market that contain synthetic supplements that often have adverse effects on the body. Thus, one needs to be very careful in choosing the bodybuilding health supplement to consider.
One of the best bodybuilding supplements on the market is the one which can be added to your protein shake. This supplement is taken to boost creatine and is usually used after the bodybuilding workout because it replaces the damaged cells due to the strenuous bodybuilding exercise. This type of product also helps replenish some sugars used during the workout routine so that the bodybuilder can still have a boost of energy.
Though there are many different bodybuilding supplements available in the market, it is important to remember that the main supplementation one could get is the weight training itself. Actually, this is the main and many critical part because lacking the necessary weightlifting trainings, it is impossible to build a good amount of dbol dosage muscle tissue. A bodybuilding workout routine that includes different exercises can help your muscles grow in the most natural and safest way possible. To find the maximum weightlifting benefit, it is a good idea to use different muscles during the workout and change your routine regularly. If you want to have really big muscles, then the best exercise routine is to raise larger amount of weight load fewer times rather than lift less weights more times.
Aside from weightlifting, another good supplement to consider is natural minerals and vitamins. Taking a multi-vitamin once a day can help your body absorb all the primary minerals and vitamins that it needs in building muscles. Also, by taking these bodybuilding supplements moderately, you can make certain that you consume the right amount of flax oil and good fats which are good for building muscles.
Aside from taking supplements, it is also helpful to have a proper exercise and nutrition plan. As an alternative of having three dishes a day, it's better to eat several small meals. This can help you lose fat by increasing your metabolism. Moreover, you can also use calorie cycles to obtain the maximum benefits for your body.
As you can see, the best bodybuilding supplements are actually produced within our body. Through our body's natural process, the muscle cells multiply and they also grow to build muscle mass. Rich foods, vitamins, and nutrients are natural and healthy ways to help in the production of muscle mass. Yes, it is also a good idea to take bodybuilding supplements but nevertheless, it is important to incorporate exercise and proper nutrition.

The first awesome toy we got in our box was a CBK micro figure. My son is obsessed with Lego and everything like it, so he loved this! The figure he got was the little zombie. It's actually a cute little figure, with his zombie brain showing and everything.
The second cool item from out box was an Iron Man 3 Ghost Armor Iron Man mini action figure. My son loves Iron Man, especially the specialty suits.
The next awesome item to come out of the box was a Nerd Block Jr. slap watch. Landon loved the little Nerd Block Jr. logo on the face, i liked getting to share with him the fun that is slap bracelets. (Or in this case a slap watch.) I didn't even know they still made these.
The fourth cool item in the box was puzzle erasers. I think i was more excited by these than Landon was, simply because they reminded me of wooden puzzles i had when i was younger. He loved the shape and color of them.
And last, but certainly not least, is a Nerd Block Jr edition Penguins of Madagasscar comic book for the new movie. We received #1 of 4. My son loves comics, and we have been waiting to see the new Penguins movie, so this was a great item to receive.
Landon and his Iron Man and zombie figures
Landon rockin his cool NerdBlockJr slap watch
So, our first expierence with Nerd Block Jr was a great one. The box is so much fun for kids to tear into, and well worth the cost. It would be a great gift for any special boy or girl in your life. They also have 3 versions for adults, classic, arcade (for video game lovers), and a horror Nerd Block. So really, they have the gift you need for several people on your list, with great prices. You can check out all the boxes they offer, and subscribe on their website. You can also watch our unboxing video and Landon's commentary on youtube.
I received this box free in exchange for my honest review.
I never recommend products i don't like or use personally.

Devas are a type of angel who serve as mobile scouts for good aligned deities. They are eyes and ears, always searching for signs of aggression or weakness from the other celestial powers.
Gathasic Deva
A proud race descended from angels living on adnas, the gathasic devas (often referred to simply as "devas") possess a strong warrior tradition. Known for their calculating minds and military strategies, these devas commonly dedicate themselves to religious tradition and usually prove to be quite devote.
Devas have a strong sense of pride and are quick to prove themselves. They seek perfection in many skills, almost always including skills at arms.
The Mapal-Sheh
Once the most powerful of the devas, the Gathasics were cast from servitude to Ädnas in an event known as the Mapal-Sheh or Fall-within-Fire. The historical facts behind the incident have become shrouded in myth. The legendary figure Origen was the Gevrah of a powerful celestial force. When he refused to step down from command, a civil war broke out which ended with Origen and the gathasics cast from the higher planes. A set of passages from the Kitapin Hürriyet or Book of Freedom gives some insight;
Origen and his devas were ordered to return to the meeting of the gods in the Sky and the Ferocious Foundation so that he may relinquish his command of the celestial army. There the members of the meeting, including myself, the omnipotent energy caused by their presence, and you, in turn, requested of Origen to fear the power of the gods and reunite his army with the whole of the celestial might. Yet Origen was not ready to give up his power, he had not yet acquired his Victory.
The cost of the war had taken its toll on the planes. It was then the remainder of the Might of Heaven came from the clouds. The seraphim and the angels had fought their way northward to the meeting. And that Fiend and its devas refused peace and held to their word as warriors, he was mighty and in the skies he never gave ground as waves of angels poured from the winds. And the great Fiend made a gambit to win the battle, that old traitor, but the gods saw past his stratagem. They saw fit with great strength to punish him needfully and sent him below with his army.
Common thought attributes Origen's fall with his growing need to fulfill his own desires over his duty to the celestials.
Current Gathasic Culture
Gathasics live in small communities throughout Nora. Their traditions have survived out of their close-knit communities. Although there is a high degree of communication and traffic between the gathasic and other communities, many of these deva populations are cut off to some degree from the surrounding cultures by discrimination and other circumstances.
There is a significant Deva population east of Fetch Lake, called Zaevkarka by the Devas there. Lyre's Harbor and Neverport both have large Deva communities. Also, the eastern Mönchlund Hills of Sachrunin have above-average Deva population including Dammburg, who's Deva population is in the majority.
Society is heavily influenced by religion and worship of the Twelve Gods. Central authority is not vested in any single person or body, but in sacred texts, religious law, and learned moreh who interpret those texts and laws.
Prayers are recited three times per day at sunrise, noon and sunset. Devas recite prayers and benedictions throughout the day when performing various acts. Most of the prayers can be recited in solitary prayer, although communal prayer is preferred. Communal prayer requires a quorum of ten Devas, called a meespar. Both males and females are able to be apart of the meespar.
Devas see themselves as forming a distinct national group; as that of an ethnic group whose identity does not depend on region.
Gathasic culture is often strongly influenced by moral beliefs deriving from scripture and what is perceived as angelic tradition. Traditions such as socialism and gender equality play largely in deva thinking. Gathisic society also places high importance on logical thinking and memory, giving devas a tendency towards skill with academics, medicine, finance and law.
Devas also find enjoyment in riddles, puns, and other word-based humor.
Devas do not consider themselves "mortal" and indeed the natural lifespan of a deva has yet to be discovered. The Kitapin Hürriyet states that mortal races are born from dust and dream, or Avahk-Tsab while the devas were sent down from the heavens where Ornus spoke and made their bodies from his words, or seesma. Because of this, devas do not have a separation of their body from their soul. This state of being is called Etsemah.
Etsemah interferes with magic that normally targets the soul such as radiant and necrotic energies.
When a deva has reached a certain age, he grows tired of his shell and commits duk'teshee, a form of ritual suicide.
Ceremonial Clothing
A Kovah is a metal skullcap usually made from either steel or silver. It is traditionally worn at all times by devas, save bathing and sleeping. It is meant as a way to show reverence to the gods. Military groups also use the kovah as a rank device using colors and decorations.
When devas go into battle, they wear ohtet under their armor. Small capsules worn around the arm, hand or on the forehead via black bands, they carry sacred scripture written by the warrior before battle.
The Sacred Times
Unlike other cultures where holidays are celebrated, gathasic holidays are solemnly observed. The Sacred Times revolve around judgment and forgiveness. The most important being Yom-Mapal where devas do nothing but pray and wait for forgiveness from the gods. During this day it is forbidden to eat, speak, work, fight, use fire, use money or engage in romantic affairs.
The Khookeem
The strong deva warrior tradition is as structured and codified as its religious tradition. The Code of War, or khookeem states the following;
- Defense of the citizens over the defeat of the enemy.
- The loss of a single battle is unacceptable.
- Loyalty is paramount.
- Strategy over strength.
- Protect the dignity of friend and foe.
- Win battles quickly to avoid undue harm.
- Persevere in missions resolutely and thoughtfully even to the point of endangerment.
- Strive for peace.
- Carry out duties at all times with initiative, involvement and diligence with common sense and within the framework of authority, while prepared to bear responsibility for actions done.
- Strike mercilessly.
- Be objective, complete and precise, in planning, performing and reporting.
- Never let a fellow warrior fall.
- A small force with surprise will defeat a large force.
- Keep mobile.
- Coordinate with other units.
- Transfer the battle to the enemy's territory quickly.
- Attain objectives quickly.
The importance of speed and strategy has lead devas to a method called Sikul Memukad or political assassination; Preemptive killings aimed to prevent future mass violence. Also, the concept of Escalation of Reprisal features into deva war tactics. A murder of one deva deserves the death of ten enemies, or, if possible, the death of the murderer's family. This is another effective prevention tactic.
Other Devas
- Astral Deva
- Monadic Deva
- Movanic Deva
- Starkin Deva
- Emprix Deva

The Locarno International Film Festival has appointed Marco Solari to succeed Giuseppe Buffi as president of the festival.
Solari, an executive at the Swiss publishing house Ringier AG, will officially take over from the festival's committee of directors who had shared the president's duties after Buffi's sudden death on the eve of this year's event.
The new president's first task will be to appoint a director for the Swiss festival, following Marco Mueller's resignation at the end of the 53rd edition. Mueller, who had overseen Locarno for nine years, stepped down to become a full-time producer at Benetton-owned Italian production company Fabrica Cinema.
Solari, 56, will also be widely expected to concentrate on boosting state funding while lobbying the government to answer angry calls from the local production community to reform the Film Law, the state's exclusive funding programme. The Swiss film industry community was recently outraged after learning that the Swiss culture ministry had already committed its entire annual $4.7 million budget for film production and development only halfway through the year.

United Behind the Power of Merchandise
A Closeup Look at the Incentive Manufacturers & Representatives Alliance
By Joseph Bush
The Incentive Manufacturers & Representatives Alliance (IMRA) recently debuted a new search tool on its website, to help find brands that work with the incentive marketing industry.
The move has been a hit, say IMRA board members, and highlights the alliance's ongoing emphasis on the power of branded merchandise in corporate gifting and incentive programs.
In a survey from a recent Incentive Research Foundation (IRF) report, "Industry Outlook Study 2019: Merchandise, Gift Card, and Event Gifting," the question, "What types of merchandise and gift cards are used within your/your clients' reward and recognition program(s)?" showed logoed brand merchandise topped the list, followed by electronics and clothing/apparel.
In the same survey, respondents chose "merchandise brand" more than other choices when asked, "For your non-cash reward and recognition programs, do you work directly with…?"
The report said 2018 and 2019 are prime time for non-cash rewards:
"Buyers and providers alike are very optimistic regarding the U.S. economy and the effect it will have on the programs they run. Program owners expect more participants to earn rewards next year, and a net 33 percent of corporate program owners expect overall merchandise spending to increase next year as a result. Overall use of merchandise rewards is also expected to increase, particularly among corporate audiences, with a net increase of 33 percent compared to a net 20 percent of suppliers and third-party providers."
Corporate gifting is a major factor as well, the report said, and has had an effect on branded merchandise.
"Branded merchandise with national recognition is the most common gift used by corporate audiences, and these gifts are most often delivered at the registration desk or to the attendee's hotel room. Median spend ranges from $100 to $200 depending on the recipient type, and interestingly, 60 percent of corporate buyers said the cost of gifts is offset by sponsors."
The IMRA website suggests reasons that branded merchandise should play a crucial role in any company's incentive and gifting strategy:
- Brand names let you leverage products to support your own company or product brand attributes. IMRA members can provide information on brand demographics and other qualities that can be used to strengthen a marketing message.
- Emotions matter. Because customer and employee appreciation is heightened by experience, why take chances with anything but a well-known brand? "Make sure the gift you give supports your message rather than undermines it." IMRA members can help with research on brands and their standing in the marketplace.
In a discussion with IMRA board members about the past year and 2019 themes, they all touched on brand power, whether the subject was membership or the new website feature.
PIP: What has the past year been like for IMRA?
Lore Rincon, Sales Manager at Continental Premium Corp., and IMRA President: IMRA has continued to strengthen our relationships with the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) and the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI). Through our participation in education programs and improved presence on the show floor, we are increasing exposure for our IMRA members and the value of brand-name merchandise.
Along with growing our relationships on the promotional products side of the industry, we're building bridges that create exposure for IMRA members and incentive merchandise with other industry segments. I have participated with other Incentive Marketing Association (IMA) colleagues from the gift card and travel sectors on panels at conferences such as Flourish, where you might not expect to find merchandise people. The goal was to discuss similarities in our segments and collaboration opportunities.
The exposure from these efforts is drawing in new brands and new customers. I'm excited to see our members reap some of the benefits of our hard work. At Continental Premium Corp., we've noticed a rise in brands approaching us about getting into the incentive merchandise marketplace and specifically about partnering with IMRA sales reps. This growing interest is a result of the increased exposure and marketing efforts of our IMRA members who have been out there actively promoting incentive merchandise.
I am particularly excited about our new brand search tool. We have been promoting it at industry events, and the response has been very positive! People not only took our promo cards, they took pictures of our sample search on the computer, so they could remember the brand search tool.
PIP: Can you tell us more about this search tool?
Scott Whitehead, Director of B2B Sales for Samsonite and IMRA Board Secretary: The IMRA website is critical in many ways. IMRA and the IMA are connecting with more people at industry events, and both IMRA and the IMA have increased their social media marketing. Through this education and promotion, we are sending more customers and more potential new suppliers to the website to see what IMRA has to offer.
Our most recent update, our brand search tool, makes it easy to find your local brand rep. If someone is trying to find Samsonite merchandise in Texas, for example, they may not know our rep, but if they use the brand search tool they can quickly find our rep in their area.
The added value of the connectivity between IMRA and the IMA is that you can also quickly access business improvement resources, such as industry research, white papers and other helpful information about incentive and corporate gifting programs, in which brand-name merchandise plays a strong role.

*E-Board Member of the Week post
The word "douchebag" never bothered me until recently–that is, until I really thought about it. I was at Beanster's getting a coffee when I overheard an exchange between two individuals, where one person was describing their significant other as a "douchebag" for not having attended an event with them. I have to admit, they were right to be upset- homie should have taken them to said event, no argument there. But why the word "douchebag"? In order to understand why I, as a feminist, was so vexed with the trivial nature of this matter, I got cooking (a metaphor you will soon come to appreciate).
First off: it's useless. Douching, that is. The act of douching was established as a "necessary" (read: unnecessary) act of female hygiene. It relied on the false idea that the female genitalia was unclean, and, therefore, in need of a good douche. Douching at one point was thought to be a form of birth control, a manner in which to rid yourself of those nasty little sperms–just wash them right on out! (Laughs hysterically.) Don't we all wish? Washing out your vagina is actually associated with higher risk of sexually transmitted infections and other numerous health problems.
Ironically, the vagina–besides being the most amazing, versatile organ one could ask for–also self-cleans! Making the act of douching completely obsolete! In fact, douching is actually harmful. The completely unwarranted act wrecks havoc on the female vagina and body. Hence, the adoption of "douche" and "douchebag" as a slang term for "jerk" or "useless".
Despite knowing, as a feminist, that using "douchebag" as an insult accomplishes nothing, the word still manages to irk me. It somehow gets under my skin and repulses me. And it's not because I'm disgusted by the act of douching. In fact, I know several individuals who, for reasons of their own, douche regularly. I just have a strong distaste for any word whose etymology is gendered, meaning that it's distasteful definition is directly derived from an object created to "clean" the female body. It further proliferates the idea that female genitalia is gross and in need of a good spritz. When the vagina, as I mentioned earlier, is pretty fucking fabulous. When we continue to use "insults" like these inherently gendered ones, we further the idea that to be female is to be dirty, bad, or wrong–whether we do so knowingly or not.
Even though douching is medically problematic, dangerous, and downright unfriendly to the female body, it still doesn't justify the slang word as being politically correct or socially acceptable.
Maybe I have a hard time believing that individuals using the words "douche" and "douchebag" really understand the context of the word. More likely, though, I think it is a classic case of equating the female genitalia with socially defined "unfavorable qualities". I can't imagine that the majority of the general population understand the harmful nature of douching. If they did, would Summer's Eve still have shelf space at your local pharmacy?
Yet, still it is highly contested as to whether or not feminists should use the insult. That somehow the use of "douche" and "douchebag", in modern feminist vernacular, indicates a reclaiming of a term that once was degrading, as if to say, "Gotcha suckers! You thought it was offensive because our vaginas were unclean? Joke's on you! Turns out douching is useless, and our vaginas self-clean, like my family's boss-ass KitchenAid Oven. Yeah, you heard me, douchebag! I'm talking convection and shit." You see people engage in the same argument in regards to "pussy" as being a slang word for "pusillanimous". If that's the case, then why is my vagina being described as showing a lack of courage or determination? My menstrual cycle passionately dissents.
Maybe this is a petty over-examination of a silly slang word. But maybe it's not. I can't help but think that, under investigation, we can begin to not only improve our arsenal of vocabulary but also do so without degrading an entire population of individuals. Regardless, the use of these highly gendered terms, besides being offensive, is super banal. If your amigo is being a jerk, I get it–call them out! Just don't do so at someone else's expense. That would make you a real used Kleenex.

BMW Z3 Resetting the Service Indicator by Mike Fishwick
BMW Z3 Guides and How To articles
The Service Indicator system operates the SI lights, which lose one of five green lights at a time, in response to the amount of fuel used – hard driving and/or cold running uses more fuel – changing to orange (Service due) and red (Service NOW!). The system also operates a two-year timer, which illuminates a clock symbol indicating that the coolant and brake fluid should be replaced.

Prague-based Travel Service, which operates SmartWings scheduled services, charter and business jet flights, today announced the selection of SITA as the provider of its passenger management system. The airline company, which carried 3.5 million passengers last year, will use SITA Horizon to manage its migration to a hybrid business model as it expands to new hubs outside of the Czech Republic.
The comprehensive five-year agreement includes the provision of SITA Horizon reservations and inventory, fare pricing management, e-ticketing and SITA's newly-launched next generation e-commerce platform across the company.
Also included is Horizon Customer Journey, SITA's latest passenger name record, which enables the airline to rapidly retrieve customer information, allowing customised and personalised service to be provided. Horizon Customer Journey represents a 'live' record of the passenger's experience with the airline right down to seat preference, meal choice and details of the last time the customer provided feedback. It also displays the revenues attributed to each customer which helps determine their overall value to the airline.
Travel Service, like many carriers, was faced with a legacy system that could not adapt to its new business needs and the demands of a rapidly changing marketplace. With a variety of offerings, Travel Service needed a passenger management system that could handle its different market segments and provide flexibility to take advantage of new business opportunities.
Roman Vik, CEO, Travel Service, said, "We were looking for a provider to support the Travel Service Group's ongoing evolution, and chose SITA because its flexible solution will increase our agility in the marketplace. With SITA we can really focus on direct distribution and cost reduction while simultaneously managing our multiple airlines. We believe that SITA is the ideal partner for passenger management services going forward."
Boris Padovan, vice president SITA northern Europe said, "Travel Service is one of a growing number of airlines that is choosing SITA as it redefines its business model in a rapidly changing business environment. As the air transport community provider, we work in a partnership approach to meet the airline's business needs and pride ourselves on our flexibility. This is exactly what the airline needs as it evolves its own business model."
Travel Service serves the growing markets in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland and its aircraft land at more than 250 airports on four continents. Working in partnership with SITA, it plans to cut over to Horizon in October.

We provide supplementary scholarship funding for those students who have received financial assistance from other sources. We ask students to apply for all sources of funding for which they are eligible. Once we select students, they are guaranteed funding for four years and beyond should they go on to graduate degrees. They never have to apply again. We ask students to contact us early in their senior year of high school or even as early as their freshman year.

Favorite love song?
I should probably say something current, but my favorite songs are old standards. "It's Magic" sung by Doris Day is probably my favorite. Take a listen, you'll see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRp1LZOk05o
Why do you think that people connect with star-crossed lovers?
When we develop crushes, they often seem to be on people we hardly know or are unavailable. That's a universal feeling. We also all relate to finally finding someone and then losing them for reasons we can't control.
Passing Notes blurb:
Mark has finally gotten the attention of the girl of his dreams. Only, his lame attempts at romance through texts and emails seem to be turning her off. When he gets put in the back of the room in an over-full class at school, he begins to discover old notes giving advice about how to write a great love letter. At first he thinks he's stumbled on some long-forgotten notes passed in class ages ago, but every time he reads them they seem directed specifically to him. They also appear at the perfect moment each time he needs more advice. It's like someone is haunting him. How do the notes keep appearing? Who's writing them? Why?
And if Mark follows the ghostly writer's advice, will he win Bethany's love?

Comfort the Afflicted and….
More than once I've been told that a pastor's job includes "comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable."
One is easier than the other.
Both are necessary.
Probably both are things that all Christians, not just pastors, should be doing.
So let's hit Pause, and let's go over today's list of Things to Do again, shall we?

Spring arrived early this year, at least that's what some grasshoppers at our house thought.
Last fall we planted some small glass terrariums using plants growing in pots outdoors. We used a variety of tender succulent plants, which meant we had to bring them inside so they wouldn't die from the freezing temperatures.
We discovered recently that a family of baby grasshoppers had hatched inside one of our terrariums. It looks like there are about 30 of them in there.
You've probably heard the saying "cute as a bug" — well, these little guys really are that cute! You rarely see them at this stage because they are so tiny and they are the favorite food of a wide variety of predators. Only a small percentage live long enough to grow into full-sized adults.
Grasshoppers spend the winter underground in the egg stage of their life cycle. They hatch in the spring when the temperatures warm up — that is known as the nymph stage. The nymphs look like miniature versions of adult grasshoppers except they don't have wings. They'll earn their wings later on in the season.
In our case, last fall, an adult grasshopper laid its eggs in the soil of a potted plant we had outdoors. When we moved that plant into the terrarium, we accidentally moved the grasshopper eggs right along with the plant. The eggs spent the winter in our home inside the terrarium. There the eggs transformed into nymphs and hatched out.
They're safe and sound behind the glass — for now. When the weather warms up, I plan to release them outside where they will have to fend for themselves.
