Hagstrom Travels
To Present School
Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, presi-dent,
was in New York City and
Atlantic City, New Jersey, last
week. He attended a meeting of
the Board of Education of the
Northern Baptist Convention in
New York, where he presented a
plea for school finances. He also
attended a few sessions of the Con-vention
in New Jersey.
Hagstrom reported that Bethel
has been given $75,945.89 by- the
Board of Education in the 17 years
from 192.1 to 1938. He hoped to re-ceive
$1,500 for the school this year.
Thursday, Hagstrom will leave
for Detroit, Michigan, where he
will speak three times at the South-ern
Michigan conference. On Sat-urday,
June 8, he will also speak
to the Wisconsin conference meet-ing
at Trade Lakes, Wisconsin.
From June 13-16, he will attend an-other
conference in Albing, Wy-oming.
At all these meetings, Dr.
Hagstrom will represent the school.
Named as valedictorians of their
classes are Herman Tegenfeldt of
the Seminary and Ambrose Collins
of the Junior College. They will
participate in the Class Day exer-cises.
Tegenfeldt will leave for
Rangoon, Burma, this Fall. Collins
is also preparing for the Christian

Three Bethel graduates have
been added to foreign missionary
service. This brings the school's
total up to 82 graduates who have
entered foreign service.
The three new additions to this
honor roll are Herman and Ruth
Tegenfeldt and Miss Frances Lo-dien.
The Tegenfeldts were ac-cepted
for service by the American
Baptist Foreign Mission society as
school supervisors in Rangoon,
Burma. Miss Lodien will go out
under the Women's American Bap-tist
Foreign Mission society. Her
field is as yet undesignated.
Miss Lodien graduated from the
Academy in 1930. Her home is in
Isanti, Minn. At present, she has
a government position in Washing-ton,
Tegenfeldt is graduating from
the Seminary this year with a B. D.
The 1940 SPIRE is printed and
ready for distribution. Formal pres-entation
of the yearbook will be
made at the close of the Alumni

DEVOTIONAL ectikydai ea.0 I 'ROUND CAMPUS
By Cliff Bjorklund
"Indecision is the paralysis of
usefulness," said a potent speaker
at a young men's conference. He
also asserted that more people fail
from a lack of resolution than from
lack of ability. It is pathetic to hear
intelligent people make brilliant
excuses for failures which result
from irresolution and flabby wills.
Imagine a football halfback waiting
to decide where to hit the line un-til
the opposing team rushes him for
a loss.
In the game of life too we have
learned that "he who hesitates is
lost." John Foster declared in his
mighty little book, "The Decision
of Character": "A man without de-cision
can never be said to belong
to himself—he belongs to whatever
can capture him."
We cannot always choose en-vironment,
but do we not observe
repeatedly that some men control
their environment while others are
controlled by it? "Turn your stum-bling
blocks into stepping stones,"
is not an empty challenge. History
is rich in its records of those who
used their handicaps for triumph-ant
A stammering Greek, who talked
with pebbles in his mouth, became
the world's greatest orator—Demo-sthenes.
Robert Louis Stevenson,
in a sick body; blind Fanny Cros-by
as hymn writer; Homer, the
blind poet, and a thousand others
not only conquered handicaps but
used them for higher successes.
How often, through irresolution, do
we who are otherwise strong, per-mit
hours of great opportunity to
pass, leaving us with a sense of
weakness and defeat.
It is an old bit of witty wisdom
which tells of the donkey standing
between two stacks of hay and be-ing
unable to decide which one to
eat from, stood there and starved
to death. The truth of this absurd
tale is nevertheless familiar to
those who have seen capable young
people fail to make much of them-selves
through just such indecision.
Much of the success or failure on
the one journey of life that each of
us must take will depend upon the
choices we make. Choosing a way
of life and holding it with resolute
purpose to that way solves basic
problems. We have heard from
childhood that "life without a pur-pose
is like a ship without a rud-der."
The greatest use of our power to
choose is to make uncompromising
choice of what we believe to be
God's way. The supreme act of our
wills is to choose God's will. Hon-est
prayer does that. The prayer
of Jesus is complete, "Not my will,
but thine be done." Making God's
will our own is not passive waiting
for God to push us somewhere. It
is the highest effort of all our facul-ties
to rise up and understand
God's will and then by sheer reso-

Bethel Achieves New Ground
It is always well; at the end of a job or a period of time to look back
over the work and to see what has been accomplished. Even so, we
would like to review the achievements of this last year. It is not that
we want to glory in ourselves, but we want to see wherein we can suc-ceed
even better in the future,
Action taken some weeks ago by the School boand which authorizes
the enlargement of the Junior College curriculum is a noteworthy step
of progress. This means that a new professor must be added to the
present faculty. New courses which will be instituted in the social
science department are: English history, political science (American
government), rural sociology. Greek will be transferred from the Semi-nary;
a non-credit journalism course will be started to coordinate the
work of the school publications.
Another measure of progress is the advancement of plans for the pro-posed
women's dormitory. Although final approval has not yet been
granted, the fact that plans have been submitted, some money has been
raised, and the School board has taken positive action are steps forward.
Encouraging notes of Bethel's state of good health are also found in
the extra-curricular activities. Our students are achieving things of
which the school, student body, and faculty can well be proud.
We cite the awards which were won by a group of forensic students
at the Mankato speech tournament April as. Seven of the 11 honors
made that day were given to Bethel participants in interpretative read-ing,
extemporaneous speaking, and oratory.
In fields of Christian service we note that about 25 Bethel student
pastors have been serving over 1,600 church members during the last
year. This is indicative of Bethel's present usefulness. We also feel
honored at the announcement that three more of our graduates have
been accepted for foreign missionary work, making a total of 82 Bethel-ites
who have gone out in service. Then, we think also of the thou-sands
of people who have been reached by the gospel teams this year.
They have gone out on hundreds of deputation trips, and have distributed
thousands of gospel tracts.
Certainly, the attainments in the athletic sphere are also commend-able.
Although the Bethel basketball team did/ not place in the top
bracquets of the league standings, two Bethel hoopsters, Del Ray Peter-son
and Don Johnson, were elected to the All-Conference five. In think-ing
of the intramural sports, we see much improvement this year. Dur-ing
the whole year every student enrolled in physical education was
participating in some team.
We realize also that progress has been made in our student publica-tions.
The CLARION was increased to a four-column, bi-weekly paper,
and the SPIRE has made a sizeable stride over those of previous years.
There has also been the institution of a Student Publications depart-ment.
We hail all those who have been , privileged to add to the well-being
and glory of Bethel. We pray that it may all reflect the Christ whom we
Our charge is that next year further progress may be made in all of
these fields, that our school may measure up to the finest, and that we
may all work as unto the Lord.

Minnesota, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
School is now drawing to a close,
and soon we will hear the last name
called of those who will receive
diplomas both as Junior College
sophomores and Seminary seniors.
The next morning there will be a
hustle and bustle as students pre-pare
to leave Bethel. Sunday noon
there will be no group gathering in
the Seminary reading room to look
at the newspapers. School will have
officially ceased for the Summer.
This is on the surface, but the
ramifications of this are far flung.
Along with commencement we say
goodbye to friends, and the solemn
thought comes, "Will I ever see
them again?" It is not only sober,
it is unpleasant; for during the
time we have been in school we as
students have learned to know one
another. That knowledge has
brought a concern for and a liking
of those whom we know. No doubt
there are some dislikes too, but
that should never eliminate the
concern of one for another. But
when parting comes, it is a shock,
for suddenly we realize that a face
which we saw day in and day out
will not be there to say "Hi" or
"Hello." There will be a void in
our lives because of it.
What do these thoughts resolve
themselves into? Simply this: We
who have years at Bethel ahead of
us say to you who are going away
with diplomas, Ave et Vale. In the
words of Galatians 5:22-23 we pray
for a perfect culmination of your
lives.—A Seminary student.

P4e,siciefrta Mw4ace
By Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom
There is always a limit to the downward' or outward stretch beyond
which it cannot go, but the upward reach has no such limitations. Who
can measure the expanse of space and distance which from above beck-ons
one onward and upward. This is obviously true whether in the phys-ical
realm in this, world which God has created or in the intellectual or
spiritual world. Yes, 'it is even more evidently true in these higher
realms of the intellect and {spirit than in the physical world. Who has
ever attained to the altitude of thought beyond
which no further thought is possible? Who
has ever made a spiritual ascent that has
reached the uttermost limit of spiritual devel-opment?
This must obviously be true, because
the power which lifts and enables man to climb
upward comes from above—from the heart and
home of God, the Creator and Father of man.
He is the source of all wisdom, light and knowl-edge.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above, and cometh down from the
Father of lights, with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning." "If any man
lack wisdom, let film ask of God that giveth to
all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it
shall be given him." From these words by the
Apostle James, and from a number of other passages, we are assured
that the source of all that makes possible an upward reach, is with God,
and also that there is a willingness to grant whatsoever is needed to all
who ask.

text: Miracle Fixes February 11, 2012 10:40 AM Tweet A do-it-yourselfer's dream—duct tape and Vise-Grips in the same repair job. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Dan Anderson Farm Journal Columnist Email Simple and versatile define farming's go-to tools and products There are products, gadgets and tools that work well—and there are products, gadgets and tools that work miracles. WD-40, duct tape, zip ties and Vise-Grips are prime examples. WD-40 was invented in 1953 by the three employees of the fledgling Rocket Chemical Company in San Diego, Calif. It took them 40 tries to formulate a light-viscosity, deep-penetrating lubricant with water-dispersing properties—hence the name WD-40. The unique lubricating, penetrating, water-dispersing and solvent characteristics of WD-40 have found countless uses in agriculture in the past 50-plus years. Not only does WD-40 lubricate rusty metal fasteners, it removes road tar from the paint on vehicles, gets chewing gum out of children's hair, dissolves grease embedded in work clothes and is spritzed on fishing lures by some anglers to attract fish. According to WD-40's website, customers have also used the product to remove chewing gum from chicken feathers (who gave the chickens chewing gum in the first place?), remove coffee stains from coffee cups (WD-40-flavored cappuccino, anyone?) and remove a boa constrictor stuck in an engine of a car (no report on the snake's response to being basted with machine lubricant). Universal fix-it. The only thing more ubiquitous on American farms than WD-40 is duct tape. Duct tape was first manufactured in 1942, during World War II, by the Permacel division of Johnson & Johnson. Its combination of cloth medical tape with a water-resistant outer coating and a tough, all-weather adhesive was designed to keep water out of ammunition cases, but soldiers quickly adopted it as a universal fix-it. Originally dun-colored, duct tape was switched to silver after the war in response to its use during the housing boom to seal metal heating and air conditioning duct work. Uses for duct tape in farming are limited only by imagination or desperation. Holes worn in grain auger tubes have been temporarily and often permanently patched with layers of duct tape. Many farm truck and tractor seats are partially or completely upholstered with duct tape. The biggest downside to duct tape is the stubborn, gummy residue it leaves behind. Fortunately, WD-40 removes it. Baling wire used to be the favorite quick fix, but the disappearance of wire-bound bales diminished the supply of baling wire about the same time Thomas & Betts Corporation invented Ty-Rap in 1958 as a nonconducting fastener for electrical wiring in the aerospace industry. Now universally called zip ties for the "zipping" sound they make when pulled tight, these nylon ties are a quick, tidy way to fasten electrical wiring harnesses and hydraulic hoses to equipment. They've helped lace together broken plastic body panels on tractors, cracked plastic corn head snouts and broken latches on tractor cab windows. Semi-permanent fixes. If there's one tool other than a hammer that's found in every farm toolbox in the U.S., it's a Vise-Grip of some size. Invented by Danish immigrant Wilhelm Peterson in Nebraska and patented in 1924, Vise-Grip–brand lock-jaw pliers are another product that benefited from the inventiveness of World War II soldiers. After the war, soldiers brought Vise-Grips home, and they've been part of American farming ever since. Vise-Grips are great for temporarily clamping together components during assembly or repair. They are also valid semi-permanent fixes. A lot of rusty Vise-Grips are clamped to feed wagons, headlight mounting brackets and other farm equipment on the "I'll-fix-it-when-I-have-time" list. Vise-Grips have been used to temporarily hold steering wheels, hydrostatic shift levers and brake linkages in place until repairs could be made. While WD-40, duct tape, zip ties and Vise-Grips can work miracles, you don't have to be a genius to use them. Back to news

Green Knights Paste Blueboys
From Sports Information Director, January 12, 2013 | Men's Basketball
by Dan Lukes, email@example.com, (920) 403-4077
DE PERE - St. Norbert College had a prolific offensive performance and used it to rout Illinois College 95-59 in a Midwest Conference game on Connie Tilley Court at Schuldes Sports Center.
St. Norbert (10-3, 7-2 MWC) won for the seventh consecutive time. The Green Knights jumped out to a 53-27 halftime lead, shooting 64.5 percent (20-for-31) from the floor in the first 20 minutes. St. Norbert shot 56.3 percent (36-for-64) from the floor for the game.
The Green Knights led from post to wire, jumping out to a lead of 13-3 in the first four minutes of action. The Blueboys (7-7, 4-5) cut the deficit to seven three times and eventually trailed 28-19 with 9:48 left in the half before St. Norbert put the game away. The Green Knights went on a 15-3 run over the next seven minutes to take a 43-22 lead with 2:42 left before intermission.
Paul Appleton's 3-pointer just before the halftime buzzer gave St. Norbert its 26-point bulge at halftime. Appleton had 16 points, all coming in the first half, and canned five 3-pointers.
St. Norbert opened the second half on a 10-0 run to take a whopping 36-point lead at 63-27 with 16:36 to go on a pair of Brandon Gries free throws, and the game was effectively over at that point.
Appleton's 16 points led all scorers, while Andrew Schwoerer added 14 points. Gries finished with 11 points and Izaiah Anderson had 10 points and eight rebounds, as 13 different players cracked the scoring column for St. Norbert.
Brandon Berry led Illinois College with 13 points, while Zeke Light added 10 points. The Blueboys shot 36.7 percent (18-for-49) from the floor and were outrebounded 40-23.

Dry, rugged and stunning, Samburu's landscape is at once stark and sensual, with its iconic loaf shaped Lolokowe Mountain and hills spreading in every horizon. Its life lung is the Uaso Nyiro River coursing through its craggy terrain full of stone, thorn bush and the forked doum palms. In this arid zone where water is scarce and the land baked by the eternal sun, herds of elephants and the big cats roam the plains with the Samburu special - the Reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and the long necked antelope, the gerenuk easily seen despite its harsh climes.
Day 1:Fly to Samburu
Check in at passenger Terminal at Wilson Airport, for your early morning flight to Samburu in Kenya's rugged Northern Frontier District. On Arrival transfered to your luxury Camp Samburu Sarova Shaba Lodge.Situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in the arid heart of Samburu National Reserve, The camp looks out over riverbanks where herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra come daily to drink together with the rarer 'northern species of reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx and long-necked gerenuk antelope. You will be shown this dramatic wilderness from a world of fascinating perspectives; through stirring early morning game vewings, walking safaris with skilled guides to sedate camel rides. Samburu Game Reserve is unique.The vegetation comprises predominantly acacia woodland interspersed with bush,grass and scrubland,broken here and there by small rugged hills whilst the meandering loops of the river are bordered by a narrow gallery of riverine woodland in which acacia and doum palm flourish. This is a dry country ecosystem and is therefore prone to large variations in the animal populations as they move in search of water and pasture.
Day 2:Samburu
A full day spent exploring Samburu. The only permanent source of water is The Uaso Nyiro River which provides excellent game viewing opportunities including elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard and of course the plains games. After lunch at the camp, and perhaps a swim in the pool, take a another game drive further.Samburu National Reserve lies on the fringes of the vast and arid desert once known as the Northern Frontier District, whose heat-scorched scrublands extend all the way to the jade-green waters of Lake Turkana and beyond. Physically dramatic, the 104 sq kilometre landscape of the Reserve features rocky battlements, craggy scarps, dry river beds and fallen boulders rising out of the thorn scrub against a backdrop of the far-distant hills and the great red table mountain known as Lololokwi.
Day 3:Nairobi
Enjoy a final game drive before breakfast. After breakfast transfer to the Buffallo Springs Airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi where your safari ends.

I found out yesterday that my dream will not become my reality.
At first I suffered a moment of intense disappointment. I wished so badly that things could be different. I wished so badly that my fate was not in the hands of someone else. I wished so badly to be given the chance that I thought I deserved.
I ranted a little. I huffed a little. And then I breathed.
Closure. Maybe even a smidge of relief when I really looked out for it.
Things happen for a reason don't they? I scrolled through my mind searching for a possible reason for this. I looked for good things about not reaching my dream, at this point in my life. Maintaining the status quo. I observed my fear of failure float away.
Things happen for a reason don't they? Life's pathway is rarely straight or smooth. Bumps. Slips. Swings and roundabouts.
Status quo.
Nothing wrong with that right?

What To Do With All That Paperworkstevejb68 on January 24, 2014 in collections, Memorabilia 1 Comment »
It is amazing the amount of stuff you can collect when you are a scoutmaster for thirty years, especially the paperwork. What should you throw away? What should you keep? What do you file away and than forget about? I played it safe and kept a lot of it.
It has been two years since I stepped down as Boy Scout Troop 68's scoutmaster so it is probably time to sit down and begin going through the hundreds of files I have accumulated. It is time to get rid of some of this stuff. I am sure the current scoutmaster is not interested in most of it since it does not apply to the current Scouts and program.
I have files dating back to the 1980's. They include advancement reports, board of review notes, troop rosters, Eagle Scout court of honor programs and agendas, and committee meeting minutes. There are files of information from the yearly trips to summer camps along with info from high adventure trips to Philmont Scout Ranch, the 2001 National Jamboree, and Charles Sommers Canoe Base.
I wrote the troop's monthly newsletter for over 25 years. There is a file of these for each year. These newsletters contain quite a bit of history of the Scouting program in Melrose. And there lies part of the problem. I don't really want to "throw away the history" of Melrose Boy Scout Troop 68, but I really do not need to keep all this paperwork.
Then I got an idea! I emailed a note to the president of the Melrose Area Historical Society to see if they would be interested in receiving some of these old records for the museum. She responded quickly, writing, "We would definitely like to give them a home." I think the MAHS museum would be a great home for some of these records. It would be available to the public instead of just collecting dust in my office.
Now I need to find an evening or three to to go through the files. I may scan some of the records before passing them, like the old newsletters that were created using a typewriter and real "copy and pasting" techniques.
What does your troop do with older files and paperwork? Do you simply throw them away? Do you have a special place to keep them? Do you give them to your local museum? Let us know by leaving a comment.

I am delighted you want to check out my personal website, however
please talk to my agents about commissions as they handle all of that for me.
I look forward to working with you.
QUESTION: What drew you to illustration/design?
CINDY: Initially I wanted to become a street painter and paint pictures on the streets with chalk, because I thought that one can jump into the images and experience great adventures. I had watched Mary Poppins, where exactly this happens. As a child I strongly believed that to be real and started drawing in order to jump into my drawings one day. Well eventually I had to learn painfully that that won´t work. So I thought I should turn into an illustrator which is pretty close.
QUESTION: Do you have any formal design training?
CINDY: I studied illustration and computer graphics with a distance education program of the IBKK, during which I also worked for animation studios. Later I went to the animation school in Hamburg which sadly does not exist anymore. I am very happy that I was still able to attend the school and had a wonderful year.
QUESTION: Where do you live?
CINDY: In Hamburg.
QUESTION: Can you describe your studio for me?
CINDY: A very nice room, just for me and my dog. It´s in an old building with a vaulted ceiling and a nice view. The walls are painted in a light, almost white green. There is a large wooden table, where I can spread out lots of things. A light table from the animation school and a chesterfield which I can´t use because my dog has occupied it. Some bookcases and a large pin board as well as my Mac with a graphics tablet. Also ther is a really nice old apothecary cabinet.
QUESTION: How do you get the best ideas?
CINDY: Simply by starting to draw.
QUESTION: Who or what is your biggest inspiration?
CINDY: I am mostly inspired by my dog and nature. Also by my friends and family and the work with my students.
QUESTION: What technique do you use?
CINDY: I work mainly digital and like Adobe Photoshop the best. However I always draw the first sketches with pencil on paper. I need the contact to the analog materials to reach a liveliness in my drawings. Afterwards I scan the sketches to color them digitally.
QUESTION: Tell us about a favorite project you have recently completed.
CINDY: I illustrated for the brochure of the Osnabrueck Cathedral for which I went there personally and got a tour of the church. That was quite exciting, also the fact that I finished this job almost completely analog with fineliner on paper, which was a new challenge for me.
QUESTION: What would be your dream job/commission?
CINDY: I am always happy, when I can act out my style.
QUESTION: Who are your illustration heroes?
CINDY: I love the atmosphere of Pascal Campion work and the wit of Bobby Chiu.
Give us a few details and we'll get back
to you quickly with an idea of Cindy's
availability and fees.

Research startup RealityEngines.AI closes seed fund round at $5.25 million
Funding will be used to create a research and dev team focused on AI and machine learningRead more...
Update: Danny Shader of PayNearMe confirms he's not an asshole.
Late Night with David Hornik is always the comic relief highlight of Vator Splash SF. On Wednesday night, Hornik's panel included Stewart Alsop of Alsop Louie Partners, Raj Kapoor of Mayfield Fund, Ann Miura-Ko of Floodgate, and Jules Maltz of IVP.
The chat revealed a lot of sordid details about each of the guests, including a story about Ann Miura-Ko pulling a pair of underwear out of her purse during a pitch once*, but during the session, Stewart Alsop put forth an interesting theory—the "Silicon Valley Asshole" theory.
"I've been around a long time and I've noticed patterns. I detected this pattern early on—there's a certain kind of person who starts a company from a napkin and will still be CEO when the company is making a billion dollars. You have Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell… I said to myself—line them up against a wall, what makes them all the same? They're all assholes."
Raj Kapoor pointed out: "The assholes that make good CEOs are the ones with a really good vision."
To which Alsop responded: "That's what makes them assholes. They have to have a good vision to totally override everyone else."
The panel discussed the merits of the theory, with all five coming to the conclusion that CEOs are assholes but VCs are NOT assholes. Hornik did have an example to counter the trend, though.
"You know who isn't an asshole? Danny Shader [of PayNearMe]. He's the nicest guy you'll ever meet," said Hornik.
We reached out to Shader to confirm or deny the assertion. He seems nice when you meet him, but he could be a total asshole in secret. We ask the hard-hitting questions!
"I think my mom would say I'm a good guy..." said Shader, who also shared that PayNearMe's internal credo is "We are not dirtballs; we are not flakes."
The theory definitely carries some weight. Steve Jobs, you might remember, was called one of Silicon Valley's "leading egomaniacs" by Fortune Magazine.
The downside of this theory means that entrepreneurs are now going to go out of their way to be assholes. I anticipate a lot of temper tantrums and hospitalizations from people trying out Steve Jobs's fruitarian diet.

Also, for the first day of Summer, I realized it was probably a good idea to clear out some class kits from the PaperZone class I taught earlier this Spring. Note: there is a good reason for this, which I will be announcing shortly. ;)
In the class we'll cover quite a few techniques including: using transparencies to add dimension, adding texture with spray ink, learning to stretch your supplies by creating embellishments made from cardstock, design principles for small projects and tips for minibook photo management.
The site also includes an exclusive video tutorial and step by step photos of the finished book as well as access to exclusive photoshop templates.
I'm pretty excited. I love this stuff.
So to celebrate, I am going to be GIVING AWAY one of the kits AND class access to one of my lucky commenters!
Simply post in the comments what you like (or don't like) about this kit, and I'll pick a random winner on Friday. Internationals are welcome as well. :)
Thank you for letting me share. Have a great night!

I believe I'm at the 3.5 level currently but was 4.0 or better (before kids). Also looking for players the rest of the summer and fall. Evenings and weekends are best, but I'll also play in the early a.m. during the week. Thanks!

I could play tonight. I live in Palatine so maybe we could meet halfway. My number is 847-754-5117.
Great! Maybe Mt. Prospect area? I had to look it up to see what was mid-way. I will call you to confirm, but Lions Park could be a good choice (8 lighted courts).
yea that's fine what time?
Hi All,

Glimpsed at Work: Maria Gordon
Maria Gordon believes in tailored clothes, clean lines -- the perfect mix of professional and feminine. When we caught up with the manager of Betsy Robinson Bridal Collection, she went with a monochromatic approach to her ensemble. Her DSW heels were super cute. Her Macy's blouse was accented by a chunky necklace and earrings from Kohl's. Her slacks were also from Kohl's. Her Tory Burch purse was a gift. "Know who you are and would like to express so people can see," the 47-year-old Clarksville resident said. "Finding your comfort zone, favorite designer looks and dress with surroundings in mind is the key to great style. Finding great designer items at great prices is thrilling."

Supernatural (and / or paranormal) typically refers to phenomena which are not bound to natural laws or observability. Because of this, science cannot and does not attempt to explain these phenomena, as they are untestable and cannot be substantiated with empirical evidence. When asked for evidence to substantiate their claims, believers in supernatural phenomena usually offer hearsay or personal anecdotes.
Throughout human history, there have been many claims of supernatural events or supernatural abilities. None of these claims have ever been demonstrated to be true. Furthermore, many of these claims are mutually contradictory, and people who believe in one form of paranormal activity will usually not believe in others. Thus, a devoutly religious person may regard ESP or witchcraft as nonsense. It can be very useful to apply the outsider test when debating against a specific supernatural claim: if your opponent can understand why they don't believe competing supernatural claims with similar evidence, they can better question their own beliefs.
Frequently claims are shown to be hoaxes and are debunked (James Randi exposing Uri Geller is an example[1]).
In other cases, claims are simply not falsifiable, and testing them is consequently not possible. For example, prayer. If one prays for X, and X happens, this can be attributed to whatever figure was prayed to. However, if X does not happen, it is often rationalized by stating "it wasn't ready to happen yet", or "this means I'm focused incorrectly, and don't need it."
With these rationalizations, prayer is not falsifiable, and becomes indistinguishable from coincidence or chance. Frequently, one can replace the figure prayed to with any other thing (for example, a brick or carton of milk [2]), and the "argument" for prayer now "demonstrates" a completely different thing.
Many people who believe for example that they can control the weather or objects with their mind are using magical thinking.

According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, as of December 3, 558 breaches have been reported in 2013, and we still have nearly a full month left for more potential breaches. These breaches hit across industries; no one is immune. In late November, BitSight Technologies released a report that investigated how well specific industries were doing in their security efforts. According to the survey, the financial industry has performed the best when it comes to security effectiveness.
At the bottom of the list was the technology industry.
Not surprisingly, a number of the worst security breaches of 2013 happened within the tech industry. In fact, when asked to list the top security breaches of the past year, security experts overwhelmingly named the Adobe breach, followed closely by the more recent Pony botnet attack that focused on companies like Google and Facebook.
One of the more surprising breaches named by experts was former NSA contractor Edward Snowden's leaks about the extent of the U.S. intelligence community's Internet surveillance. The data breach was significant for many reasons, starting with what was revealed: pervasive signals intelligence, subversion of encryption standards, collaboration with overseas intelligence communities and many other bombshells.
Other breaches were more predictable, involving stolen devices or phishing scams. Many of the breaches are blamed on foreign hackers and cyber criminals. But the end result is that all of these breaches caused significant damage to businesses and customers. As Costin Raiu, director, Global Research and Analysis Team, Kaspersky Lab, stated:
We predicted 2012 to be revealing and 2013 to be eye opening. That forecast proved correct – 2013 showed that everybody is in the same boat. In truth, any organization or person can become a victim. Not all attacks involve high profile targets, or those involved in 'critical infrastructure' projects. Those who hold data could be of value to cybercriminals, or they can be used as a 'stepping-stones' to reach other targets.
Here is a list of the worst data breaches of 2013.

1 Camera Systems
A one camera system is ideal for an apartment, small condo, or small business. It can also be used to watch over an elderly person or patient in an isolated area or be used as a stationary baby monitor. A one camera system is an economical choice too, especially if you are on a budget, but still want the safety and intimidation which a surveillance system can provide.
A One camera system is also often easy to install, even the wired systems. However, when you purchase such a wired system you will want to make sure that the extension cord between the camera and the monitor or DVR is long enough for the layout that you are looking to achieve.
It is also possible for your one camera system to grow with you as you move into a larger house or as your needs change. That's because many one camera systems can incorporate other cameras as well. If you are looking to use your camera outdoors, you will want to ensure that the camera casing is durable, it is rust free, it has a sunshade, and it comes with a bracket. It should also be infrared (IR) so the camera can capture images at night and in low light situations.
When you are dealing with a one camera system, the one camera should be placed in the most vulnerable area there is such as the front door or the cash register area. Furthermore, when installing it outdoors make sure no trees or other greenery obstructs the camera's coverage.

Every day, millions of people walk the busy sidewalks and streets of cities. Now, imagine a future in which the energy of their footsteps is transformed into electricity to power urban infrastructure like streetlights or stop lights.
The future for this type of technology is now, as London-based startup
Pavegen has already developed tiling that's made from 95 percent recycled tires, and can harvest energy from people's footsteps, turning it into electricity.
"I aimed to create a new energy source for the city of the future -- the smart cities -- and low carbon alternatives to existing power sources," Laurence Kemball Cook, the CEO and founder of Pavegen, told Design News. He built the first prototype of the tiles in 2009 while at Loughborough University, and founded Pavegen later that year.
The tiles store the power from each footstep, flexing 5mm when stepped on, and converting that downward movement into electricity in constant pulses of power -- one to five seconds per footstep, depending on the weight of the person, Cook told us. The electricity created is 12V dc, and up to 8 watts of kinetic energy can be converted over the duration of each footstep.
This power can then be used to provide electricity to anything on the street if it's installed in an urban area, Cook said. For example, by installing the Pavegen tiles in a busy part of a city, the energy stored from people pounding the pavement all day can be used to keep the streetlights on all night. "Because during the day you do not need light, we can give you a back-up reserve depending on the application," he said. "You can store the energy for up to three days."
The tiles -- made of recycled polymer concrete and assorted polymers in addition to tire rubber -- also have a unique proprietary wireless communications technology that uses only 1 percent of their power to transmit data about the number of footfalls and the energy generated via the Internet. "You can turn a floor into a whole network of products that can speak to the network," Cook said. "You can send data via our communications protocol up to 100 meters per tile, depending on the location and the surrounding."
This will give city administrators and business owners information about how many people pass through a certain area, which they can use to make smart energy and other decisions.
"A smart city is one where energy is generated where it's needed, stored where it's needed, and used where it's needed," Cook said. "This wireless technology allows a seamless integration between power usage and demand."
The ultimate goal of Pavegen is to make the tiles as affordable as regular floor tile, although in its early stages, the company is targeting urban areas rather than consumer homes. To that end, the company already has made some notable installations. At the summer Olympics in London, for example, Pavegen tiles were used at the West Ham station of the London Underground, which was right outside Olympic Park. Energy generated from walkers was used to power lights in the station for five hours each night.

Major Section: PROGRAMMING
Below are six commonly used idioms for testing whether
x is
Zip and
zp are the preferred termination tests for recursions
down the integers and naturals, respectively.
idiom logical guard primary meaning compiled code**See guards-and-evaluation, especially the subsection titled ``Guards and evaluation V: efficiency issues''. Primary code is relevant only if guards are verified. The ``compiled code'' shown is only suggestive.
(equal x 0)(equal x 0) t (equal x 0) (eql x 0) (equal x 0) t (eql x 0) (zerop x) (equal x 0) x is a number (= x 0) (= x 0) (equal x 0) x is a number (= x 0) (zip x) (equal (ifix x) 0) x is an integer (= x 0) (zp x) (equal (nfix x) 0) x is a natural (int= x 0) (zpf x) (equal (nfix x) 0) x is a fixnum >= 0 (eql (the-fixnum x) 0)
The first four idioms all have the same logical meaning and differ
only with respect to their executability and efficiency. In the
absence of compiler optimizing,
(= x 0) is probably the most
(equal x 0) is probably the least efficient, and
(eql x 0) is in between. However, an optimizing compiler could
always choose to compile
(equal x 0) as
(eql x 0) and, in
situations where
x is known at compile-time to be numeric,
(eql x 0) as
(= x 0). So efficiency considerations must, of
course, be made in the context of the host compiler.
Note also that
(zerop x) and
(= x 0) are indistinguishable.
They have the same meaning and the same guard, and can reasonably be
expected to generate equally efficient code.
Note that
(zip x) and
(zp x) do not have the same logical
meanings as the others or each other. They are not simple tests for
equality to
0. They each coerce
x into a restricted domain,
zip to the integers and
zp to the natural numbers, choosing
0 for
x when
x is outside the domain. Thus,
#c(1 3),
'abc, for example, are all ``recognized'' as zero by both
zip and
zp. But
zip reports that
-1 is different from
0 while
zp reports that
-1 ``is''
0. More precisely,
(zip -1) is
nil while
(zp -1) is
Note that the last five idioms all have guards that restrict their Common Lisp executability. If these last five are used in situations in which guards are to be verified, then proof obligations are incurred as the price of using them. If guard verification is not involved in your project, then the first five can be thought of as synonymous.
Zip and
zp are not provided by Common Lisp but are
ACL2-specific functions. Why does ACL2 provide these functions?
The answer has to do with the admission of recursively defined
functions and efficiency.
Zp is provided as the zero-test in
situations where the controlling formal parameter is understood to
be a natural number.
Zip is analogously provided for the integer
case. We illustrate below.
Here is an admissible definition of factorial
(defun fact (n) (if (zp n) 1 (* n (fact (1- n)))))Observe the classic recursion scheme: a test against
0 and recursion
1-. Note however that the test against
0 is expressed with the
zp idiom. Note also the absence of a guard making explicit our
intention that
n is a natural number.
This definition of factorial is readily admitted because when
(zp n)
is false (i.e.,
nil) then
n is a natural number other than
0 and so
(1- n) is less than
n. The base case, where
(zp n)
is true, handles all the ``unexpected'' inputs, such as arise with
(fact -1) and
(fact 'abc). When calls of
fact are
(zp n) checks
(integerp n) and
(> n 0). Guard
verification is unsuccessful for this definition of
fact because
zp requires its argument to be a natural number and there is no
guard on
fact, above. Thus the primary raw lisp for
fact is
inaccessible and only the
logic definition (which does runtime
``type'' checking) is used in computation. In summary, this
definition of factorial is easily admitted and easily manipulated by
the prover but is not executed as efficiently as it could be.
Runtime efficiency can be improved by adding a guard to the definition.
(defun fact (n) (declare (xargs :guard (and (integerp n) (>= n 0)))) (if (zp n) 1 (* n (fact (1- n)))))This guarded definition has the same termination conditions as before -- termination is not sensitive to the guard. But the guards can be verified. This makes the primary raw lisp definition accessible during execution. In that definition, the
(zp n) above
is compiled as
(= n 0), because
n will always be a natural number
when the primary code is executed. Thus, by adding a guard and
verifying it, the elegant and easily used definition of factorial is
also efficiently executed on natural numbers.
Now let us consider an alternative definition of factorial in which
(= n 0) is used in place of
(zp n).
(defun fact (n) (if (= n 0) 1 (* n (fact (1- n)))))This definition does not terminate. For example
(fact -1) gives
rise to a call of
(fact -2), etc. Hence, this alternative is
inadmissible. A plausible response is the addition of a guard
n to the naturals:
(defun fact (n) (declare (xargs :guard (and (integerp n) (>= n 0)))) (if (= n 0) 1 (* n (fact (1- n)))))But because the termination argument is not sensitive to the guard, it is still impossible to admit this definition. To influence the termination argument one must change the conditions tested. Adding a runtime test that
n is a natural number would suffice and allow
both admission and guard verification. But such a test would slow
down the execution of the compiled function.
The use of
(zp n) as the test avoids this dilemma.
provides the logical equivalent of a runtime test that
n is a
natural number but the execution efficiency of a direct
comparison with
0, at the expense of a guard conjecture to prove.
In addition, if guard verification and most-efficient execution are
not needed, then the use of
(zp n) allows the admission of the
function without a guard or other extraneous verbiage.
While general rules are made to be broken, it is probably a good
idea to get into the habit of using
(zp n) as your terminating
0 test'' idiom when recursing down the natural numbers. It
provides the logical power of testing that
n is a non-
natural number and allows efficient execution.
We now turn to the analogous function,
Zip is the
0-test idiom when recursing through the integers toward
Zip considers any non-integer to be
0 and otherwise
just recognizes
0. A typical use of
zip is in the definition
integer-length, shown below. (ACL2 can actually accept this
definition, but only after appropriate lemmas have been proved.)
(defun integer-length (i) (declare (xargs :guard (integerp i))) (if (zip i) 0 (if (= i -1) 0 (+ 1 (integer-length (floor i 2))))))Observe that the function recurses by
(floor i 2). Hence,
calling the function on
25 causes calls on
1, and
0, while calling it on
-25 generates calls on
-2, and
-1. By making
(zip i) the
first test, we terminate the recursion immediately on non-integers.
The guard, if present, can be verified and allows the primary raw
lisp definition to check
(= i 0) as the first terminating
condition (because the primary code is executed only on integers).

Broach: Ceiling panels from the mosque
Surveyor: Burgess, James (1832-1916)
Medium: Pen and ink on paper
Date: 1884
Illustration of a ceiling panel from the Jami Masjid at Broach in Gujarat from James Burgess' 'Original Drawings [of] Muhammadan Architecture in Gujarat.' Broach [Bharuch] is one of the oldest ports in western India; it was an important trading centre from the 1st century. Burgess wrote, "the roof [of the mosque] is supported by forty-eight pillars, in two rows of twelve each in front and one at the back, with two broken rows of six each supporting the sides of three domes - the central one about 30 feet in diameter and the side ones about 23 feet each. There are also seven small domes, of about 8 feet diameter each, over the alternate spaces in the front aisle, and the same in the back one... The backs of the mihrabs and the windows break the wall at the mosque level."
