When prayer is all you have left
To say the first few months of this year have been 'hard', would be an incredible understatement.
I can't remember if I've been in a more challenging place… a place filled with heartache and hardships I never asked for.
Relationship problems. Health issues. Financial debt. Parenting struggles… just to name a few.
I know life isn't perfect, but all of these incidents have me so confused. Why now? Why us? Why are these things happening, especially after the word God had given me for the year?
Word for the year
I'm not sure if you are obsessed with the 'word-for-a-year' thing like I am, but every January 1st I ask Jesus for a theme He would like me to pursue for the next 365 days. It gives me vision and motivation to move forward into the future.
And so, when God laid the word "miracle" on my heart, I immediately got excited.
And then I wanted to hide…
You see, people remember the miracles.
They love retelling the stories of God's faithfulness and goodness.
But, here's a catch: miracles aren't needed unless there is a reason. And what would be my reason?
Was this year going to be full of problems and that was why God gave me this word?
Our Creator's Kindness
I could feel my chest begin to pound. Panic was rearing its ugly head.
Because, if my family's pain was the predecessor to God's power, then all I had to say was HARD PASS.
I'd rather strive my way into solutions and still have control over my situation.
The unknown was too scary. Uncertainty too fierce.
I didn't want to need God's miracles. I didn't want to walk through the fire.
But, God saw me.
He knew my fears and held me close in His arms.
He steadied my beating heart and asked me to trust in His love.
Because yes, the need precedes the miracle, but a gift is also entwined within.
In our Creator's kindness, He made life so that it would be out of our control. Circumstances arise that make it impossible for us to fix, alone.
We may look around and gather all of our strength in hopes of making things right.
But, God wants more for us.
He doesn't want us to be faced with that much pressure.
Instead, He wants us to loosen our white-knuckled grips and hand our cares over to Him.
Ill Health
A few weeks ago, my husband was having difficulty walking.
It's been getting worse throughout the years, even though we've visited a plethora of doctors. Still no answers.
No one has been able to tell us why his mobility and muscles are failing… why he has to be careful while wrestling with his boys or walking up the stairs.
It's so hard to watch, as his wife. He's in his 30's. This is supposed to be his prime, and yet, he needs me to take out the trash and carry the laundry to our room.
As I've taken on the extra loads, the weight of what I'm carrying almost keeps me down. I'm exhausted. The physical wear is catching up with my body.
This isn't what we asked for. This isn't the miracle we were hoping for.
Everything is out of my control because, no matter what I do, I can't make my husband's body mend.
I can't strive my way towards his healing. And so, I do the only thing I have left.
I pray.
Pray first, not last
Sweet Reader, I want to tell you something important. Something we shouldn't easily forget, especially when times get tough.
Prayer was never meant to be 'last'. God has always wanted it to come first.
When we feel helpless, we first need to seek our Helper.
When we need provision, we first need to ask our Provider.
When our strength is disappearing, we need our true Sustainer.
And when we require more holy manna, we need our Miracle Maker.
Prayer in the bible
As I've read through the Bible recently, I'm amazed at the number of times prayer is used by the apostles.
Paul and Peter were constantly talking about prayer, even asking for prayer themselves. It was never secondary. It was always primary.
And that is because they saw it modelled.
The disciples personally witnessed Jesus talking with His Father, the Word reciting the Word back towards heaven.
We are told as God's children to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonian 5:17) and I believe God says this in order to bless us throughout our lives, but particularly during the moments we need Him most.
Dear friend, prayer is not mediocre.
When we open our hearts and minds to God, we experience a sacred connection directly to His throne.
We come boldly into His presence, just as we are.
Free from shame. Free from fear. Free from guilt.
He waits for us eagerly, ready to hear the longings of our souls.
This is something He desires. This is something He chooses.
James 5:16 says, "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results." (NLT)
Confession is meaningful. Prayer is potent.
And, even more than this, prayer works wonders!
Because we are crowned in the righteousness of Christ, we all have the ability to shake things up in the heavenly realm.
Prayer: A gift from God
As God's beloved Sons or Daughters, we can come to our Father and ask Him to move mountains on behalf of our ourselves, our loved ones, our community and our world.
Prayer changes everything.
Prayer brings God's Kingdom, down.
Brothers and Sisters, we have been invited into God's glory-making business. It's a treasure. A precious gift.
And when we come before our King, He gives us even more.
He gives us His peace.
He gives us His power.
He gives us His promises.
As we pray, He gives us more of Him.
Maybe the biggest miracle isn't the one we seek in front of us.
Maybe it's the prayer-filled transformation of our surrendered hearts.
Maybe the miracle is us.
Maybe the miracle is you.

The Ashley Madison breach is highly publicized because of the type of site … and who doesn't love a good juicy story with their morning cup of joe. From a cybersecurity advisor point of view I fear this breach will have a higher success rate of follow-up attacks. Here is some of the intelligence shared with peers and clients:
- The named names (which may have just been tossed in their by pranksters) will be subject to a strong amount of email and social media attacks given the exposed personal data
- Individuals listed will do anything to clean up the mess, and honestly click on just about anything at this moment claiming to clear their name or about details of it being listed
- All of these "media" reports and exposures with people being called out on twitter, in blogs, and more will only result in the ability to hide malicious links within the fray
- …
This goes beyond wanting those who go against your moral code and lands squarely in the hands of those who are tasked with protecting our lives and freedom. Immediate advice:
- Be careful with this information
- Do not click on any links claiming to save your information, and
- Recognize that others will try to leverage these details against you … be armed, please!
While I didn't consider this scenario in the book, How Not To Be Hacked, the last chapters speak on how to lock down your identity and recover from such an exposure and I couldn't recommend it more strongly today.
More than 15,000 emails revealed by the leak are hosted on US government and military servers, as well as numerous emails associated with individuals who work for the British government.
Controversial blogger Andrew Auernheimer has been busy naming names of powerful people exposed by the leak, including individuals from Naval Intelligence, the TSA, and the Attorney General's office.

When you are a new parent, ordering takeout often feels easier than making a healthy, home-cooked meal. If you feel this way, you are certainly not alone. Madileine Grodnick, new MBC mom and holistic nutritionist, has some advice for how to help kick that takeout craving and have easy, affordable, home-cooked meals available in those first few tiresome weeks after birth.
For new moms delicious and nourishing food is essential, explains Madileine, especially to allow for physical recovery and success with breastfeeding. Taking a "whole food approach" allows for the natural incorporation of ingredients like fresh veggies and whole grains, but ingredients can vary depending on family preferences and budgets.
While there is no one-size-fits-all nutrition plan, Madileine's curated list of freezer meals including everything from cacao energy bites to nourishing chicken soup might be a step in the right direction! Here are a few of Madileine's tips for preparing and enjoying these foods in the postpartum time:
First, host a cooking party! Before birth (Madileine suggests to start around 36 weeks) invite friends and family over to cook together. What better way to show love and support for new families than by making sure they are well-fed in their first few weeks postpartum! Even inviting over a best friend or mother-in-law to act as a sous chef helps ease the labor of preparing food.
Second, plan ahead! If you're planning on making bone broth, Madileine explains, make all of your stews and soups that week. Don't add extra work for yourself by making lactation cookies and chili on the same day. Instead, make meals with similar ingredients to simplify the process.
Finally, make a plan for packaging and defrosting. Part of the benefit of preparing all of your own freezer meals, rather than buying them from the grocery store, is that you can reduce packaging and waste. Madileine suggests using mason jars (which can be found for 99 cents at a thrift store) or using old jars collected from pasta sauce. For defrosting, simply take meals out a day or two in advance and allow them to slowly defrost in the fridge.
Madileine's favorite go-to meals? Either a buddha bowl using sprouted chickpeas, some rice, and a baked sweet potato or shepherd's pie! See Madileine's go-to list of freezer meals here.

Tallaght raise Bedlow Cup after derby win
By Alex Barrett
Tallaght United raised the UCFL Sidney Bedlow Cup after Dylan Kelly struck in the first half to edge out local rivals St Maelruans at Whitehall Stadium in Drumcondra on Saturday afternoon.
Maelruans started strong from the kick-off, with Scott Brian immediately attacking down the wing, but he was caught offside, leaving Tallaght's Dylan Kelly to relieve the danger with the resulting free kick.
Tallaght United proudlt raise the UCFL Sidney Bedlow Cup
Kelly then made a run down the left wing for a shot on goal, but Maelruans keeper Sean Hyland pulled off the first of several great saves during the match.
Tallaght were awarded another dangerous free two minutes later after Maelruans Glen Davis brought down Jamie Walsh.
The latter took the resulting setpiece, dropp-ing it down onto the head of Jason Carpenter but Sean Hyland once again made it look easy, catching the ball cleanly.
Maelruans countered quickly from the goal kick, pressuring defender Robert Baxter into hitting it out for a corner that saw Scott Brien cross to Aaron Kennedy, but his shot deflected off the Tallaght defence and flew over.
Tallaght were beginning to assume control of the game, with attacking duo Jamie Walsh and Dylan Kelly wreaking havoc down the left wing. Walsh made several great crosses into the box, but none were directed to the net thanks in no small part to the efforts of Sean Hyland.
They seized an opportunity however, after a free was awarded against Maelruan's in the 28th minute. Walsh delivered it into the box and a clever redirection from Kelly slipped it past the keeper, putting Tallaght in the lead.
Tallaght almost extended their advantage two minutes leader after Walsh attempted a similar shot, but Hyland snatched the ball right off the head of Kelly.
A pep talk and some clever substitutions led to a mighty effort from Maelruans in the second half, but despite some close efforts were unable to get back into the game.
A long shot from Daire O'Connor was tipped over by Tallaght keeper Adam Nilano's while captain Jamie Kennedy had another opportunity but was intercepted by Tallaght defender Robert Baxter.
Maelruan's spirit was not broken, fighting until the last minute, when Kenn-edy's free kick had to be punched over by Nilano.
However, with emotions running high, matters turned a little fractious after the final whistle with Maelruan's Luka Efretin and Tallaght's Byan Kinsellla both being sent off after an otherwise great game.
Tallaght: A Nilano, D. Elton, G. O'Hara, J. Murray, J. Daly, R. Baxter. J. McLewan, J. Carpenter, D. Kelly, J. Walsh, K. Curry. Subs: D. Collins, B. Kinsella, L. O'Brien, D. Ledden, J. Rooney, C. Stewart, K. Doherty.

As a follow up to my earlier post I thought I would share 5 more things that I hate. However I have been admonished by another blogger for using the word hate. So now it is 5 other things that annoy me! You will also notice that this time I have not mentioned anything my wife's does.
- People who get their opinions from papers without bothering to think for themselves
- People who hog the pavement. Often traveling around in groups moving at a pace even a snail would find slow.
- People who hug me when I barely know them. This probably dates back to my church days when random people would hug me. The next person who does this to me will have their ear licked.
- People who overuse my name. You know the types have to repeat your name every few words, presumably proud that can remember it. I already know my name so you don't need to repeat it, also I am aware you are talking to me.
- Dogs in coats, they just look silly. Evolution has already provided them with one, no need for you to make them look ridiculous.
- Bingo – don't why I just don't like it.
- Blogs that have a number in their title but don't stick to it!
There are some of my annoyances please feel free to share yours.

As you begin, you'll want to think about how you are going to give yourself the space needed to do research effectively. Think about:
1. What you will research.
Map out what search strategies you want to use. Keywords, databases you'll use, etc.
2. When you will research.
Schedule time in your schedule to do research, preferably when you are energized, rested, etc. Coffee helps :)
3. Where you will research.
Pick an environment to do research where you can focus. Coffee shop, library, your couch...whatever works for you!
4. How you will document your research.
Plan to document where you have been. Use a citation manager or folder tools within databases. Save your research so you know what paths you've taken already and so that you can easily cite your sources later on.
You will want to be very intentional about this, giving yourself the time and space needed to give it your full attention and process what you are learning (as much as possible -- we all have lots going on!)

What Makes SMSTS Courses so Popular in Construction?
Site managers have a lot of responsibilities placed on their shoulders. One of these responsibilities is the moral and legal duty they have to helping the proprietor manage health and safety on the site. This means they have to be aware of the consequences that come by failing to meet this responsibility and have the training so they are able to carry out the work. There are many courses that can give managers the skills needed for their job, but SMSTS courses are one of the most popular ones available, heres why.
Well-Known and Highly Regarded
Its important to have qualifications that show others what level of training the individual has. The qualifications can help to secure new clients, new contracts and to provide proof when needed that sufficient training has been provided to the individual. The smsts has an excellent reputation throughout the country and is nationally recognised. This is certainly beneficial to your business and to the individual you send to become qualified. It will show that your site manager is ready to start working immediately and will come with the knowledge that he needs to help maintain the health and safety on the site.
Quick but In-depth Training
The Site Management Safety training Scheme is delivered and fully completed in only five days. Throughout the five days the tutor will go over the course elements and give each individual the education they need to pass the course. Its a course that requires full attendance as there are exercises to complete on each day. The final assessment takes place once all of the course materials have been covered. The exam must be passed successfully in order for the individual to gain the Site Management Safety Training Certificate.
Staying Updated
One of the problems with health and safety is that the laws are always changing. Its vital that managers are able to adapt and learn new techniques quickly. Staying on top of their legal responsibilities is also a must, just as it is for business owners. The CITB have made sure all managers with this qualification remain updated and on the ball. They have achieved this by making the certificate valid for five years. Once the certificate is about to expire, the individual will need to attend a refresher course. The refresher lasts for only two days but will make sure the manager is still focusing on health and safety and complying with all the current Regulations.
Where is the SMSTS Training Held?
If you have five or more people attending the SMSTS courses its worth considering in-house training. Tutors will come to your work premises and deliver the course materials at a reduced price. Its a great way of reducing the costs and making attending the course a lot easier for those individuals seeking qualification; having said that, the course is available all over the UK. There are many learning centres situated in towns and cities so travel times to and from the course can be kept down to a minimum. There are usually courses running each week so its simple to book a place and have the individuals trained within weeks.
The SMSTS is an excellent qualification as it provides the latest skills and techniques used to manage health and safety. The course lasts only five days and its found easily all over the UK. Best of all it is highly regarded as one of the best courses for managers and is recognised throughout the industry.
Managers must be trained to help manage the health and safety on the site. The SMSTS courses are fast but packed full of everything your manager needs to meet their legal responsibility.

Steven D. Levitt has gotten sensational publicity for Freakonomics implying that legalizing abortion increased the "quality" of the upbringing that children who actually went on to be born received. That idea has proven so attractive that the fact that the crime rate shot up among the first kids born after legalization has been repeatedly dismissed out of hand. That's why, way back in my debate with Levitt in 1999, I offered an alternative theory that would better fit the historical record: that abortion was used more by the more responsible women in the black community, which therefore lowered the overall cultural and moral level of African-Americans, setting the stage for the catastrophic crack years.
A reader sent me a 1996 Brookings Institution policy brief called "An Analysis of Out-Of-Wedlock Births in the United States" by George A. Akerlof and Janet L. Yellen. It has some important data tables comparing the last years before legalization, 1965-1969, the first half-decade after legalization, 1975-1979. The abortion rate for nonwhites peaked in 1977, so this is a good comparison. Blacks born in 1965-1969 had relatively low teen murder and other serious violent crime rates, while those born in 1975-1979 had the worst records ever recorded.
Before legalization, the birthrate for married black women was 129 and for unmarried black women 91. A decade later, the married black birth rate dropped from 129 to 93, while the unmarried black birth rate fell only from 91 to 86. So, social changes, including abortion legalization, had barely any effect on the unmarried black birth rate, but drove down the black married rate sharply.
Moreover, black women weren't getting married as much, in part because of the collapse of the shotgun wedding (i.e., a wedding less than 9 months before the birth of the first child). Akerloff and Yellen write:
We have found that this rather sudden increase in the availability of both abortion and contraception we call it a reproductive technology shock is deeply implicated in the increase in out-of-wedlock births. Although many observers expected liberalized abortion and contraception to lead to fewer out-of-wedlock births, in fact the opposite happened because of the erosion in the custom of "shotgun marriages."...
The increased availability of contraception and abortion made shotgun weddings a thing of the past. Women who were willing to get an abortion or who reliably used contraception no longer found it necessary to condition sexual relations on a promise of marriage in the event of pregnancy. But women who wanted children, who did not want an abortion for moral or religious reasons, or who were unreliable in their use of contraception found themselves pressured to participate in premarital sexual relations without being able to exact a promise of marriage in case of pregnancy. These women feared, correctly, that if they refused sexual relations, they would risk losing their partners. Sexual activity without commitment was increasingly expected in premarital relationships.
Advances in reproductive technology eroded the custom of shotgun marriage in another way. Before the sexual revolution, women had less freedom, but men were expected to assume responsibility for their welfare. Today women are more free to choose, but men have afforded themselves the comparable option. "If she is not willing to have an abortion or use contraception," the man can reason, "why should I sacrifice myself to get married?" By making the birth of the child the physical choice of the mother, the sexual revolution has made marriage and child support a social choice of the father.
So, the black illegitimacy rate climbed from 35 percent to 52 percent over the course of that decade, with the number of black out-of-wedlock births growing from 189,000 to 280,000, despite all the wonderful increase in "wantedness" of children that Dr. Levitt attributes to the legalization of abortion. We sure didn't see an increase in wantedness by fathers.

My mother loved Christmas. Every year, no matter the circumstances of our family (and believe me, sometimes there were some difficult circumstances), she always made Christmas special! In the days leading up to Christmas, we enjoyed many shopping trips to purchase ornaments and look at all the decorations. She loved decorating…some years the house looked like Vegas inside and out with all the lights!
I remember the year I was on bed rest while pregnant for Faith and Grace, she wheeled me around in a wheelchair so that we could have a little Christmas shopping fun. And, after they were born, we shopped for the perfect ornaments to hang in remembrance of them. But, that's another story.
The year we were into everything mauve, burgundy, and Victorian, Hills had a bunch of ornaments on sale. And she bought me a cart full! After an especially rough year, she bought me a new pre-lit Christmas tree. We had the best time!
Since she has been celebrating her Christmases with Jesus the past three years, I have missed her greatly. The missing that often visits washes over me every year the first time I walk into the Christmas aisle. And, yet…her love for that very thing compels me to go there so that I can remember and feel her closeness. My boys hear me say, "Grandma loved this…she loved Christmas." They say, "Mom, you always say that." I smile and ache all at the same time. Then, I remember her gift for finding the joy in everything…her uncanny ability to not just make lemonade from lemons, but to enjoy the lemonade with the glee of a little girl.
Tonight, James and I had the best time eating dinner at a nice Italian restaurant. James appreciates a nice restaurant with some good bread dipped in oil and Parmesan, excellent Italian cuisine, and ambiance…ahhh, he is so a boy after his mother's heart! I love my food, you know! Of course, it was the icing on the cake that Biaggi's puts paper covering over their lovely white, linen table cloths so that children can draw on them.
After dinner, we went to WalMart to get some essentials, and there it was…the Christmas aisle. I took a deep breath as the missing washed over me, and I looked down at James. "Come on mom, let's go look." His eyes lit up with excitement as he appreciated each ornament with the fullness of joy that comes from the heart of the young and from the rare soul like my mom who manages to hold on to that ability long into adulthood. She gave me that gift, by the way. I smiled, and said, "Grandma would love this…she loved Christmas." James started filling the cart with a few little ornaments…he was exuberant when I allowed him to choose a few.
Then, we spotted the animated, musical stuffed animals. James and I started pressing the buttons to see what each one would do. We danced and giggled in the middle of the WalMart aisle, as I remembered all the other times I have freely giggled with my mom and friends over the years. But never before, have I had such a great time giggling deep belly giggles with anyone as I did tonight with this sweet gift of a boy that God gave me.
I just love him…
Thank you, God for deep belly giggles, one of my favorite sounds…especially the kind that happen right in the middle of the missing, reminding me that she will always be part of us. She would've loved giggling deep belly giggles and dancing in the aisles of WalMart. And, because she did…we still do.

« "Explaining Misperceptions of Crime" | Main | "Trauma and Sentencing: The Case for Mitigating Penalty for Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse" »
August 25, 2018
Is it too early to start a new US Attorney General short list (or wish list)?
I think it is extremely unlikely that Prez Donald Trump will fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions before the mid-term elections in November, which are still more than 10 weeks away. Nevertheless, as detailed in this Bloomberg piece headlined "Key Republicans Give Trump a Path to Fire Sessions After the Election," some key Senators are seemingly trying to make it easier for Prez Trump to consider replacing AG Sessions after the election:
Donald Trump, who's long threatened to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions, may have received a crucial go-ahead signal from two Republican senators with a key condition attached: wait until after the November elections.
Confronted with the criminal convictions this week of his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, the president has only reaffirmed his open resentment that Sessions recused himself from what's become a wide-ranging investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
The pivotal message on Thursday came from Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who oscillates between criticizing many of the president's policies and defending a president who sometimes invites him to go golfing at a Trump-branded resort. "The president's entitled to an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that's qualified for the job, and I think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice," Graham told reporters.
But he added that forcing out Sessions before November "would create havoc" with efforts to confirm Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, as well as with the midterm elections on Nov. 6 that will determine whether Republicans keep control of Congress.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Judiciary Committee's chairman, also changed his position on Thursday, saying in an interview that he'd be able to make time for hearings for a new attorney general after saying in the past that the panel was too busy to tackle that explosive possibility.
It wasn't clear, though, whether the senators' comments were intended to endorse a move on Sessions later, or to coax Trump out of taking precipitous action now. And some senior Republican senators strongly rejected Graham's seemingly impromptu fire-him-later idea.
Notably, Prez Trump this morning tweeted out Senator Graham's staement this way:
@LindseyGrahamSC "Every President deserves an Attorney General they have confidence in. I believe every President has a right to their Cabinet, these are not lifetime appointments. You serve at the pleasure of the President."
I still think, for now, it is mostly a parlor game to imagine who Prez Trump might seek to replace AG Sessions. But this game surely shapes my own rooting interest as a supporter of federal criminal justice and marijuana reforms. If, say, Senator Tom Cotton were to be Prez Trump's pick to replace AG Sessions, I would be content with the status quo. But if, say, Senator Cory Gardner were to be of interest to the President, then I would start rooting for AG Sessions to start packing up his office. Of course, a perhaps more plausible pick might be someone like Senator Ted Cruz (especially if he were to lose his re-elction bid in November, which seems unlikely but possible). And one has to wonder whether anyone could be confirmed by a divided Senate either in a lame-duck period or soon thereafter.
Just for fun, I would be interested in hearing readers' creative possibilities for the next Attorney General, and I will start the game by throwing out two names just for kicks: Brian Sandoval and Dabney Friedrich. I have no idea if either would have any interest in a position that is challenging even under the best circumstances, but I think both have just the right combination of experience, independence and "confirm-ability" to make them plausible possibilities.
Please play along, dear readers, in the AG short-list game.

Why not Douglas A. Berman? He has the support the Koch brothers, a key Trump constituency.

He will only pick someonw who promise to fire Mueller.

Janet Reno lasted a long long time.

This is rich. Koch's have given money to many organizations that advocate for criminal justice reform including the ACLU and Cut#50. They did not support the Trump Presidency. I think they are used by democrats as a fundraising fixture.
As for Sessions replacement - Brian Sandoval looks interesting. He was promoted by Harry Reid for US District Court, maybe a little bi-partisan support. Aside from that - he's pretty darn stinking cute and very smart.
It appears that Dabney Friedrich upheld Mueller's authority - that may exempt her.
The most delicious episode of this epic event that I've seen lately was Lanny Davis defending Michael Cohen and then starting a Go-Fund-Me for his fee. Why doesn't this make our collective heads explode?
Posted by: beth | Aug 25, 2018 8:01:35 PM
Wow, we can really talk about Trump firing Sessions without really mentioning or condemning a move to fire Special Counsel Mueller? I hope if Trump fires Sessions to fire Mueller that he is impeached and has no chance to appoint a new Attorney General.
Posted by: Paul | Aug 26, 2018 10:11:07 AM
My vote is for Lindsey Graham. But if you want a worst case scenario: Joe Arpaio (nothing in the constitution says the AG has to be an attorney or cannot be a convicted felon?). The advantage in Graham is that he will definitely be replaced by a Republican, and probably one more pro-trump than Graham.

Midnight Hawks
The Midnight Hawks is the official aerobatic team of the Finnish Air Force. The team with its four Hawk jet trainers has proudly presented the consummate flying skills of Finnish military pilots in air shows in Finland and abroad since 1997.
The 2019 air show season is underway. The Midnight Hawks' new routine will showcase their signature tight Diamond formation - the four jets flying various aerobatics maneuvers mere metres apart from one another. In addition to the Diamond, the flight demonstration will feature trail formation flying, the Big T, and the Swan. The descending Barrel Roll, Twist, and Barrel Roll around the leader, seen previously last year, will also this year be among the maneuvers guaranteed to make for a captivating display. Besides tight formations, close passes and spectacular splits will be seen in the routine. At its lowest, the flying altitude will be 100 metres, and the speed will vary between 200 and 800 km/h.
All Midnight Hawks pilots are qualified air combat and Hawk flight instructors at the Air Force Academy, rehearsing aerobatics on top of their teaching responsibilities. Formation aerobatics require grueling training and commitment, yet being chosen as a member of the Midnight Hawks is an honour no one can turn down.
Midnight Hawks Team for the 2019 Season
The Midnight Hawks' team composition has undergone some yearly changes. Two previous season's display pilots continue on the demonstration team: the new team lead Captain Vesa Loukko and the slot pilot Captain Tapani Parvio. The new wingmen are last year's No. 7 Captain Juho Tervahartiala and solo pilot Captain Eero Mannismäki.
Team supervisor Captain Heikki Kankkio, one of the previous season's wingmen, and new team member Captain Oskari Tähtinen complete the lineup and serve in supporting roles. Kankkio's task is to provide on-the-ground support for the display routine and formations as well as ensure flight safety. Tähtinen is the season' rookie pilot, who is getting to know how the team works and responsible for describing the Midnight Hawks' maneuvers during air shows this year.
Flight operations of the Air Force, including the Midnight Hawks' aerobatic displays, would not be possible without the support and tireless efforts of the aircraft maintenance personnel. Senior Engineering Officer Captain Kimmo Hantula, Midnight Hawk No. 10, is in charge of the maintenance and upkeep of the four display and one backup aircraft. A six-person crew selected from the personnel of Aircraft Maintenance Squadron 41 assists him by carrying out the maintenance duties.
Team members
Midnight Hawk No.1 Team Leader Vesa Loukko
Only position No.1 is earmarked and will always be held by the team leader, who has several years of flying experience with the Midnight Hawks under his belt.
Left wing No. 2 Captain Eero Mannismäki
Right wing No. 3 Captain Juho Tervahartiala
Slot No. 4 Captain Tapani Parvio
Narrator / Rookie No. 7 Captain Oskari Tähtinen
The new demonstration pilot spends the first season in position No. 7 to get to know how the team works and gear himself up for formation flying. He does not yet fly in displays. The voice of No. 7 will be heard through the loudspeakers during air shows as narrating the Midnight Hawks' air routines is one of his duties.
Supervisor No. 0 Captain Heikki Kankkio
The supervisor is an experienced Midnight Hawks pilot, whose main tasks are to ensure flight safety and develop new display routines. When the display is in full swing, No. 0 can be spotted near the airfield perimeter, talking into a radio transmitter giving instructions to the team leader.
Senior Engineering Officer # 10 First Lieutenant Kimmo Hantula

A reader got in touch after my last post and asked if I'd do a feature on my favourite brushes - well, it tied in nicely with my Favourite Paints post from last week, so I thought, why not.
There are a whole heap of brushes out there, different styles, types, sizes and brands so if you're just taking your first tentative steps into making art then it can feel a bit daunting and confusing to say the least. To make it simple, I thought I'd share my favourite brushes with you, the ones I use for both watercolour and acrylic and you then have a starting point to go from.
Acrylic Brushes
I use a range of sizes and brush shapes for my acrylic work, depending on whether Im working on a big painting or something small. I also lean towards just three brands, and I must just add here, are all the short handle version (to me the long handle brushes are just too awkward and big). I've accumulated a fair few brushes over the years, but here are the three that I use all the time at the moment:
Pro Arte
Daler Rowney
Royal Langnickel
These brushes are all pretty durable, and don't cost mega bucks. I mostly use the tiny, pointed brushes for detail work such as in my flower paintings, and larger ones for first washes and layering up the painting in places that need a lot of paint.
There are a few types of brush I work with, which are:
Round (these are the ones that are short with a pointed tip)
Filbert (flatter bristles, with a rounded tip)
Flat (a squared tip)
Rigger (usually about an inch long or so, these are fabulous for painting stems and rigging on boats etc).
All the brushes I use are synthetic and specifically for acrylic paint, I tend not to use hog which I think suits oils better (I recall hog brushes when I had a dabble with oils in my teens many moons ago and they were rather bristly and scratchy).
Synthetic acrylic brushes are usually soft and good for detail. I initially start with a big paint brush, something akin to a 1" emulsion brush to lay washes on big canvases or panels (see large, black handled brush in my photo above), and then I like to use a 12mm flat brush to work more on background layers, moving on to smaller sizes of filbert and flat (size 5mm) and then rounds for the detail, from size 0 to 2.
Hidden Shores, acrylic on gesso panel
Pro Arte and Daler Rowney are the dearer options, and these I tend to buy directly from Jacksons Art online. I have picked up a pack of the Royal Langnickel soft grip paint brushes from The Range, they are super cheap and just as good as some of the more expensive brands.
I'd encourage you to start off with a Round 0 and 2, and a 12mm and 5mm flat brush to begin your collection. You can then add to this as you go, as you'll discover that you might want something bigger or smaller depending on your style and size of work.
I have to replace my smaller brushes more often than my larger ones as the ends can get a bit scruffed up or splayed due to use. This is my only real bugbear with acrylic paint brushes but could be down to the way I use them, you may find that you don't have this problem.
Watercolour Brushes
My favourite watercolour brushes without a shadow of a doubt have to be the Escoda Reserva series and Winsor and Newton Kolinsky Sables.
Right off I will just say, I completely understand if you're against using animal products in your brushes, and there are excellent alternatives available nowadays. However, I have had my sables for many years now and they still perform as well as when I first got them which is why I am still using them.
I love to use the Pointed Round series by Escoda from the Reserva series, the No.4 is my favourite, it's very versatile as it holds plenty of paint, and it forms an excellent point for super details.
A corner of detail from a watercolour painting of Fowey
For my really detailed work (such as the windows in the painting above) I use my Winsor and Newton Sable No.1 round series. Again, this forms a beautiful point when painting and is excellent for smaller, more detailed work.
For washes, I use a very ancient No.10 Cotman watercolour brush which I've had for over twenty years - I'm not sure if these are still available but an equivalent would be the Jacksons Studio Synthetic range (size 10). You can also use a mop brush for big washes, which looks exactly as it sounds! I do have one in my stash but again, perhaps from habit, I just usually go straight for the No.10.
Prices for watercolour brushes will vary, of course the synthetic versions are cheaper as they are manmade fibres, but if you are wanting a sable, you can pick up a No.1 for about £5 - £6 depending on brand.
For beginners just starting out in watercolour, whichever fibre you decide on, I'd recommend a nice large No.10 for washes, and a No.4 and a No.1, all round series.
I purchase all my brushes these days through the fabulous Jackson's Art in the UK. They offer a super range of brands, shapes and sizes, from student through to Artist grade. If you're lucky enough to live near a good art shop (sadly, I'm not) then it's worth popping in to have a look at the different sorts of brushes available for your medium - you'll be amazed at the quality and difference available.
*Please note, this post is based upon my own opinions and preferences of what to use and where to shop, I have no affiliation with Jackson's, I just think they're a really good online art store.

The fantastically talented Dre Throne (follow him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art_thirst44/ ) created the awesome SpiderRed. Then he created this fun SpiderRed/Emily Chibi mashup. Thank you kind sir, sorry it has taken me a while to post this.
Dre and I met on DeviantArt, he was nice enough to let me practice lettering on some old pages of his. He didn't have any dialogue, just sound effects, so I ad-libbed. I dug them up to go through them, and want to talk a little about the lettering process. A lot of mistakes were made…
- The positioning of the lettering is a mess. Good lettering should push they eye across the page in a giant Z pattern. The first narration box should have been in the top left corner.
- The font size is far too large.
- The crossbar 'i" should never happen inside a word.
- There is too much white space inside each text box. There should only be enough room for an additional character.
- The errors I made lettering this page are similar to the last.
- The balloon tails look terrible; inconsistent, with one being far too fat.
- The font size is all over the place! I think I was trying to show volume with the sizes, which can look good if done right, but lettering needs subtlety.
The point I am trying to make about lettering is: good lettering, like makeup & basslines, does best when guiding the audience, not distracting them.
Want to learn more about lettering? The fine folks at Comicraft are a great resource.

This blog started out as Michael Doherty's Personal Library, containing reviews of books that normally don't get reviewed: basically porn and cult books. It was all just a bit of fun, you understand. But when I embarked on a three-year Shakespeare study, Shakespeare basically took over, which is a good thing.

The French Teacher's Lesson (1977) Book Review
Her first day is a rough one, as the students pay no attention to her. And two of them - Mark Price and Katy - fool around right there in the classroom, and don't stop when Vicki tells them to. At the end of the day the principal tells her the student committee asked that she be one of the monitors for Friday's dance. "I'd say that's quite an honor," he tells her. Really? What a strange world he lives in. I'd say it's an annoying imposition on my free time. But then again, my fervent wish wasn't to become a high school French teacher.
Mark Price and his girlfriend, Katy, are having a bit of fun. Check out this poetic description: "The tight reluctant anal walls clung to his finger like muscular fly paper, and Katy's wails grew louder and more violent the further his determined finger plunged into the heatedly sucking depths of her rectal passage" (page 30). Who says adult books aren't literature?
At the dance, Vicki steps out into the parking lot to watch three kids have sex in a convertible. Soon, of course, Mark Price is there. She tries to fight him off, but fails. She fails repeatedly, and then ends up enjoying herself, which is slightly less than believable.
Though this school is full of hoodlums, apparently they hold classes on Saturdays, for the day after the dance (and after her rape), Vicki is back at work. After school, Mark Price and some of the other boys attack her. When she begs them not to do anything, Mark tells her, "Why, Miss London, you're all upset over nothing again. Just like last night" (pages 112-113). And though she is about to be raped by several of her students, Vicki seems more upset by the fact that they're smoking pot and have given her a hit. She says, "Oh no...my God, not marijuana...Dear God, no, no, no!" (page 114).
When caught by the police, the students say that Vicki forced them all to have sex with her, and the cop believes them. No one ever accused the police of being intelligent. Vicki just can't get a break, for while in jail the cop decides to have his way with her as well. And we get this interesting description: "His weighty balls reminded her of a pair of eggs in a fuzzy suede bag as they pendulously swayed between his muscular thighs" (page 162).
The French Teacher's Lesson is a volume in the Adult Classic Series put out by Liverpool Library Press.

Usefulness of Bisphosphonates for Osteoporosis Treatment
Osteoporosis is a disease causing the thinning and weakening of bones. Since the bones are thin, they are more prone to breakings, damages, cracks and so on. It is a common disease in women, after their menstrual cycles stop, i.e. menopause. It's not a disease characterized wholly by age. It is most common in aged people and mid-aged women, but can also occur to men in their mid-ages, to young people in teenage or some years plus and even sometimes in children less than 12 years of age.
One of the suggested ways for curing Osteoporosis is the use of Bisphosphonates for Osteoporosis treatment. By consuming bisphosphonates Osteoporosis can be cured. Their action on the bones is specific. Being different from hormones, bisphosphonates do not imply the risks (and benefits) of estrogen, which may act elsewhere in the body apart from bones. The role of Bisphosphonates in Osteoporosis treatment is that they work to reduce the activity of the cells that are responsible for bone loss.
Bisphosphonates include the following
- Alendronate: Along with its generic equivalent Fosamax, alendronate is a common bisphosphonate prescribed to the Osteoporosis patients. It has been in use since 10 years and its safety is proved by experiences. Steps to take Alendronate:
- Risedronate: Also known as Actonel. Similar to Alendronate, Risedronate is also taken on daily or weekly basis, and in the same quantities (the lower limits). The steps to follow daily and weekly Risendronate medication/dosage are exactly similar to those in case of Alendronate.
- Etidronate: Also known as Didronel or Didrocal. 400mg of Etidronal is supposed to be taken once a day on fasting with a full plain water glass. This cycle goes on for 14 days consecutively. Then it is stopped for 76 days. Again, after the completion of 76 day period is over, the 14 day cycle begins. Thus, in every 3 months (90 days), the drug is taken only for the first 2 weeks. Different from the methods of taking the other two drugs, the steps for consuming Etidronate are as follows: The bisphosphonate drugs are equally alike and different. But all of them show more or less same effect and all reduce chances of fracture of weak bones.
Thus, giving yourself bisphosphonates during Osteoporosis treatment in the prescribed amounts and ways is like giving yourself a treat for the future years of your life – an Osteoporosis free period.

Electrocoating: Understanding How It Really WorksApril 13, 2018
Electrocoating technology is usually described in a vague manner. That's just the way experts think. They describe the electrical charge, the vat full of paint, and the post-process rinse tank. What if someone needs more details? In that case, clarification is required. How does the process really work? Well, it all begins with the pretreatment room, a series of operations that assures the establishment of a paint-attracting electrical charge.
Phase 1: Pretreatment
Just like any other electrically assisted coating system, the part in question must be prepped. Conductivity-hampering dirt is chemically and mechanically stripped away during this pretreatment phase. Only after the oil, dirt, and other contaminants are gone can the denuded part proceed. All that's left now is the application of a conversion coating. Applied as an iron phosphate or zinc phosphate base, this primer protects the now exposed metal from corrosion and ensures maximum paint uptake.
Phase 2: The Electrocoat Tank
A programmable hoist system conveys the parts. They're flying through the production line towards their drop point. Look closer, the parts are packed in bulk transport systems or racking equipment, all the better to assure a productive operation. A DC rectifier is regulating the circuit. It turns the parts into a cathode and the paint into an anode. Alternatively, the paint is charged negatively while the parts act as the circuit cathode. Lowered into the paint bath, the pigmented fluid electrodeposits on each and every part surface.
Phase 3: Rinse and Bake
Before the paint-covered component moves onto the curing oven, it must be rinsed. The rinse phase washes away undeposited material so that the aesthetically trimmed part's coating is finished in a skin-tight film. Past the rinse station, the component moves into a large oven. Crosslinked and baked in place, the uniformly distributed, electrically deposited coating hardens into a durable shell. The three or four stage process terminates in that curing oven, with the entire bake finishing in under twenty minutes.
All of these primary stages break down into numerous substages. There are different phosphates and cleaning techniques in the prep stage. Then, in the coatings tanks, the DC rectifier varies its output. The paint coating thickens as the charge increases. There are acrylic-based mediums and epoxy-based substitutes in those tanks. They flip polarity, gain different, more advanced fluid formulas, and the resulting finishes take on incredibly diverse material properties. Electrocoating technology, a paint depositing process, adds a durable, near VOC free (Volatile Organic Compounds) finish to large and small metal parts.

Do Good Things Come To Those Who Date?
Of all the scary and awkward situations we put ourselves in first dates have to be very near the top of the list. I've never really believed much in the whole idea of 'dating', it all seems far too formal and artificial a process for true love or romance to blossom in my books. I honestly think that when I meet the 'one', when that flash goes off and lightning strikes, I will know instantly. So the idea of embarking on a series of dates with men who simply make my ego flutter from their attention seems like a waste of time.
However, after turning down another offer of being wined and dined, I was intrigued and beginning to wonder if I was missing out on some valuable life skills or right of passage by avoiding such a tried and trusted notion. Besides, what's so terrible about being wined and dined by a man who's had the courage to ask the pleasure of my company for a few hours? While I'm waiting for Mr.Right maybe Mr.Right-now could help me kill some time.
I was fortunate enough to be asked out not long after this change of heart whilst in my local, he was a tall and attractive man from London who was in Manchester visiting relatives. So the date was set and a simple and very informal itinerary planned, we would be meeting for drinks then heading to a museum (to avoid getting too plastered) and taking it from there. First drinks and initial getting to know each other went well, as did the museum where his knowledge of the classic planes was on the right side of impressive, not corny or arrogant. I was starting to think maybe there is something to this dating lark, if nothing else I'd had a nice day and enjoyed some good company.
We decided to go for some food at a great tapas place I knew, now thoroughly relaxed in each other's company I didn't mind entering into a formal dating situation and I was in no hurry to escape…this feeling soon changed. As we sat waiting for our drinks, which only took a few minutes, I was invited to a family barbecue, family wedding, told I would be lavishly taken shopping in his favourite store and asked where we should go on holiday next year. When the drinks arrived I ordered another one to follow immediately, I had a feeling this was going to be a long meal.
The food took a while to arrive but that didn't matter as my date managed to talk about himself constantly to help kill the time. Maybe he just really liked me and maybe his nerves just fuelled his verbal diarrhoea but I was beginning to think we wanted very different fundamentals from a relationship. When the food arrived I was looking forward to some peace and quiet, what I wasn't looking forward to was him trying to kiss me with a mouth full of food. I know we were sharing tapas but that was a share too far.
The final blow came when he insisted on me having one of the meatballs I hadn't got round to trying yet. He splatted one down on my plate and then proceeded to cut it up into bite size pieces for me. The waitress walking by who witnessed this was horrified and while I held my hands up and tried to show I felt the same I couldn't help but be extremely embarrassed and guilty almost for bringing this on myself.
Needless to say there has been no date number two. I know I may seem cynical before my years with my views on dating and, actually, plenty of people have lived happily ever after, embracing first date disasters as the funny story they can tell at their wedding. As for me, my brush with dating has definitely confirmed I'm happy with my intuition when it comes to looking for Mr.Right, but it has put me off meatballs for a little while.

Deputy Director, Shingo Ota, Fisheries Agency, explaining the results of an international conference on Pacific bluefin tuna to reporters in Oregon
Japan would take over 300 tons of bluefin tuna quota from Taiwan
Monday, September 09, 2019, 02:00 (GMT + 9)
The Western & Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), North Subcommittee, which discusses the management of Pacific bluefin tuna and other resources, closed in Portland, USA on the 6th local time and agreed that Japan would take over 300 tons of large fish catch from Taiwan only for 2020.
Temporarily, for Japan, large fish will increase by about 6%. The overall catch quota proposed by Japan was deferred against the US.
Japan's current fishing quota is 4007 tons for small fish (less than 30 kg) and 4882 tons for large fish (over 30 kg). Japan suggested expanding the frame by 10% for small fish and 20% for large fish, due to the increase in the number of fry during the last 17 and 18 years.
According japaneses sources, the US on the other hand, strongly opposes, claiming that the amount of resources remains low. As a general rule, the proposals were passed unanimously, and Japan's proposal to increase the number of slots was not allowed following the previous year. Japan plans to propose a new frame at the North Subcommittee next year based on the latest data such as the amount of resources.
►US delegation remarks at the meeting of North Subcommittee of Western & Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The North Committee also agreed that if the quota was not used up, it would raise the current system, which can be carried forward to the next year up to 5% of the quota, to 17% only for 20 years. The handling after 21 years, including the transfer from Taiwan, will be discussed next year.
Mr. Shingo Ota, Deputy Director of the Resource Management Department of the Fisheries Agency at the press conference after the closing, said, "I claimed that the resource recovery prediction was good, but it was different from the US point of view. I would like to thank Taiwan for giving up the frame".
The chief officer of Zhang Zhi Sheng (Cabinet) Agricultural Committee Fisheries Office held a conference on Taiwan day 8 and announced that it transferred 300 tons of large fish quota allocated to Taiwan to Japan, which had been seeking to expand the quota for bluefin tuna

The WCPFC meeting started on the 3rd in Portland, Oregon, western United States. Japan called for an increase of 20% for large fish over 30 kg and 10% for small fish under 30 kg, but was unable to meet the US against the premature opposition. Instead, they agreed to transfer 300 tons of large fish from Taiwan, but the actual increase is only about 6%. There is no expansion of the frame for small fish, and it is unclear whether it will lead to dissatisfaction with coastal fishermen.

The Japanese newspaper Nikkei comented that "there are few views in the market that the outcome of this meeting will affect tuna prices. Currently, Toyosu Market (Tokyo and Koto) has a lot of tuna loaded with winter fat from Australia and New Zealand in the southern hemisphere. The aquaculture technology is also evolving, and many cultured tuna are supplied from Kyushu and Shikoku. The person concerned said, "It is more expensive to ship an appropriate amount during the season when the fat is on than to take small tuna with few resources in the North Pacific" (Toyosu wholesaler).
