Protest by the Poor
The Welfare Rights Movement in New York City
Analysis of the origins, growth, and tactics of protest groups involved with welfare in New York City. Welfare rights activities were the product of three developments during the 1960s: the civil rights movement, the War on Poverty, and the evolution of social welfare thought. In New York City, the welfare rights movement received initial impetus from Mobilization for Youth. However, it soon developed grass roots support in the ghetto communities, particularly in Brooklyn and on the lower east side. By 1968 the movement was able to organize mass demonstrations and to extract from the welfare system substantial benefits for its members. The study examines the recent increase in New York City's AFDC rolls and the role that these welfare groups have played and considers other factors, such as rising grant levels and liberalized acceptances thought to have influenced the City's caseload.

The Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change
is a research museum of the Leibniz Association
Link to Leibniz Association
Project start: 2019
Fragmentation of the natural environment has contributed to major biodiversity loss in South East Asia. Reptiles represent a significant biomass and occupy important functions in our ecosystem. However, these organisms are highly sensitive to relatively minor changes in temperature and habitat alteration. In this study we will investigate the effects of habitat fragmentation and potentially climate change on agamids at several sites in Southeast Asia. We will identify the species richness of agamids, their habitat use, and their diet. By using morphometrics, we aim to correlate morphology and habitat use and diet to explore the ecological niches these lizards occupy. We will also test for microhabitat preferences and optima to understand the ecological impacts on these species caused by forest fragmentation. We hope to use this approach to lay the foundations for macro-ecological modelling proving insights into future distributions and the impact of habitat connectivity.

WHERE'S ALBERT ?
Released on September 12, 2018
A comedy written and directed by Didier van Cauwelaert.
Starring : Julie Ferrier, Stéphane Plaza, Josiane Balasko, Virginie Visconti, Bernard Le Coq
Chloe is the most famous young medium in France. She decides private matters for the world’s leaders , chooses the CEOs of big companies as well as the next trends in fashion. Having a sound reputation in the industry, Chloe is however just a “channel”: an extremely advanced spirit has chosen her ever since her childhood to convey his ideas through her. This spirit is no one else but… Albert Einstein.
However, the young woman gives too many consultations, she is overbooked and is in the midst of a sentimental and moral crisis. She has polluted her channel and cannot « receive » any more information. Albert Einstein has suddenly decided to…move out.
In an airport snack, he « enters » a waiter’s body, Zac, a stubborn and depressed beekeeper who, with no real future opportunities, takes odd jobs to make ends meet and save his bees.
All of a sudden, this common man starts to know everything about everybody, hears their thoughts and sees the future…
Chloe must now face an unmanageable nightmare as her prestigious clients still rely on her. She has to try everything she can to win Albert back…
It’s with Where's Albert ? a profound, human, bold, delirious comedy that Didier van Cauwelaert will make his comeback as a director.
Billy Wilder remarked « The Purpose of Comedy is to use laughter and humour to change our view of the world ».
This comedy is not only a source of amusement, suspense and twisted situations. It provides an incisive overview of our society where fortune telling leads to the most absurd behavior…while also highlighting the importance of how love and fighting for the same cause could bring two people fundamentally opposed together.

Three classes of polymers important to life?
1. Carbohydrates 2. Proteins 3. Nucleic acids
Does structure determine function?
What is the name of the reaction that builds monomers into polymers?
Dehydration (taking water out); monomers become linked into polymers
What is the name of the reaction that splits polymers into monomers?
Hydrolysis - adding water to split apart large polymers back into individual monomers
Give an example of a Protein, Nucleic Acid, Carbohydrate, and a Lipid.

How many Amino Acids are there?
20 (twenty) different Amino Acids
What 2 functional groups must all amino acids have?
AMINO group & CARBOXYL group
What makes proteins unique?
The "R" groups (side-chain), which allows anything to be added there; it's how we differentiate b/w letters of Amino acids.
What do we call the covalent bond between amino acids?
Peptide bonds (the bond (dehydration reaction) b/w Carboxyl & Amino groups, not side (R) groups!)
What are enzymes? (Proteins)
They speed up chemical reactions; each has a different function (and structure); they have "active sites"; they are unaffected by chemical reactions
How many levels of folding do proteins have? Names of the levels?
They have 4 (four) folding levels. 1. Primary 2. Secondary 3. Tertiary 4. Quatemary
What makes a covalent bond?
Sharing of electrons.
What makes an ionic bond?
Gaining or losing of electrons.
What makes a hydrogen bond?
Partial charges attracting to each other. Partial positive and partial negative coming together.
What are Chaperonins?
They help amino acids to fold correctly (because if it doesn't have the correct structure, it doesn't have the correct function!)
What do organisms use proteins for?
For structure and function. (we are made FROM DNA, we are made OF protein)
What is denaturation?
The change due to temperature, pH, or salinity; ex: ceviche w/ lemon juice, eggs on a hot stove, or salted meats to preserve them
What do organisms use nucleic acids for?

What is the name of the covalent bond that forms between nucleotides?
What are the differences between DNA and RNA?
DNA (the original) has T's and no U's (T A C G); Deoxyribose means "sugar without oxygen", so it has only one OH in its sugar structure; it is a Double Helix
RNA (the copy) has U's and no T's (U A C G); Ribose means "sugar", so RNA has 2 OH's (one more O than DNA); it is single stranded

How many fatty acids can Glycerol hold?
3 (three); can hold up to a triglyceride
What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Saturated fats - have no double bond, so they are straight, which means they compact much more easily; most are solids at room temp. (ex: butter, animal fats) Unsaturated fats - one or more double bonds, which results in a kink in the molecule (most are liquids ex: oils)
What are trans fats?
Act the same as Saturated fats because their structure is similar
What are phospholipids? How are they different from fats?

The Democratic Party president general Norbert Mao has pledged to provide UN Security Council with more lists of highly profiled officers fond of violating human rights.
His comments came shortly when US imposed travel sanctions on Gen Kale Kayihura and his family arguing that the former police boss had overseen gross violations of human rights when he led the force.
Addressing the media at the party headquarters in Kampala on Tuesday, Mao noted that he is ready to produce the full list of all the top officials who violate human rights.
“My message to US government is that when you are sweeping the stairs ,start from the top going downwards. We want to alert President Trump that there is still a lot of garbage on the upper stairs. There are lot of things that need to be swept,” he noted.
Mao noted that the move to impose sanctions on Gen Kayihura was long overdue arguing that it should have been done when he was still in office.
Kayihura has since denied all the allegations labelling US statements against him as hypocritical, spurious and full of concoctions.
On the issue of FDC’s Judith Adyaka quitting the race in the Kaabong by elections at the last moment, Mao urged political parties to always vet candidates.
“There should be processes of assessing candidates so that we get candidates which are not easily compromised, recruiting a candidate for the sake of having a candidate can cause embarrassment, now we are extremely embarrassed,” he said.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN (ILL)
A way to share resources among all the libraries in Texas.
Want a book or movie that we don't have here? You might be able to get it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
We have a written ILL policy we'll be happy to share with you if you'd like to see it, but here are the basic requirements:
Adult patron in good standing -- that means you have established a
history with us over a period of time (minimum of six months and 10
checkouts) and you aren't in a Restricted (overdue items / unpaid
fines) or Inactive (moved away and we don't know how to reach you)
status. This also means juvenile patrons can't use this service on
their own record.
Willing to pay the cost of postage to return the item to the lending
library -- we won't know how much it is until we actually receive the
item, but it's usually no more than $3.00. You can pay us when you pick
up the book or when you return it, but failure to pay it will place you
in Restricted status.
Limited checkout period -- due within 3-5 weeks, usually no renewals are allowed.
Contact us to learn how you can take advantage of this service.
By the way, we also lend library materials to patrons from other
libraries across the state. Just returning the favor, you know...We
joined this TexasGroup ILL effort in late 2009, spent 2010 getting our
system upgraded and learning how to be lenders as well as borrowers,
and all our materials are now listed with WorldCat. You can see an
example of how WorldCat serves us by going to our New Titles page and
clicking on the link that says Click Here...
Want to see if something you want is held by a library in the State of Texas and might be available for lending? Go to
Just a note: This TexasGroup ILL effort was initiated by the Texas
State Library & Archives Commission, funded by the Texas
Legislature, and any fees to support our holdings in WorldCat will
continue to be paid out of State funds for the foreseeable future.

Mar 2 2012 by Donald Morton, Stirling Observer Friday
STIRLING Albion clinched the Second Division title on their previous visit to this venue almost two years ago.
There was no silverware in sight on Tuesday but the precious three points gathered could be vital in the Binos’ battle to avoid relegation.
The result, which ended an eight-match winless sequence, means they go into the crucial clash with Albion Rovers level on points with the Coatbridge club. They trail Forfar, who come to town on Tuesday, by only three points and are five adrift of Airdrie with a game in hand.
Suddenly there is hope for an Albion team who appeared to be sliding towards Division Three after picking up two points from a possible 24, stacking up suspensions and shipping goals into the bargain, but this could act as a springboard for the fixtures to come.
Brechin had triumphed 3-2 at the Doubletree Dunblane Stadium last month and another win would have lifted them into the promotion play-offs on a night when the two teams above them, Stenhousemuir and East Fife, both lost, but it was Stirling who prevailed on a balmy night in Angus.
It was warmer than when Allan Moore’s men secured silverware in May 2010 but the small band of travelling fans probably expected the heat to be on their side after a run of four away defeats.
Brechin certainly had their chances and Callum Reidford, so impressive since returning from injury in the autumn, made some important stops before and after Stirling broke the deadlock but the visitors defended stoutly and were always a threat going forward.
Alan Cook and Mark Ferry both netted in the closing minutes of the first half and defender Gary Thom contributed the third before City top scorer Paul McManus pulled one back.
Worried Albion fans might have feared a repeat of the calamitous 4-3 collapse to Cowdenbeath a year ago this weekend but their team were never under siege and saw the game out comfortably.
With Brian Allison and Scott Davidson both suspended, boss Greig McDonald made two changes to the team beaten 4-1 at Dumbarton on Saturday. Smith and Cook were restored to the starting XI in a 4-5-1 formation that saw Graham Weir as the lone striker as Kevin Kelbie dropped to the bench.
The hosts had some good opportunities in the first half. Bryan Hodge fired over when he should have done better and Reidford made a smart save from ex-Bino Craig Molloy while on-loan Kilmarnock striker Rory McKenzie also came close.
Stirling had a penalty appeal turned down by referee Stevie O’Reilly when Gary Fusco appeared to handle but took the lead in 42 minutes. Weir, who put in a power of work, earned a soft free kick 25 yards out and Daly McSorley touched the ball to Cook, who smashed a low shot beyond Craig Nelson for his fifth goal of the season.
Even better was to follow. Just two minutes later Ferry swept the ball high into the net from close range after Smith’s shot was blocked as Brechin were punished for slack defending.
It was the fourth game in a row that Stirling had been ahead at half-time and they had failed to win any of the previous three, losing late on to Brechin, drawing with Cowdenbeath and enduring a nightmare second period at Dumbarton. There was to be no slip-up this time.
Albion increased their advantage in 62 minutes when the outstanding Thom headed home from a superbly-delivered John Crawley corner but McManus found the top corner with a header 60 seconds later to give City some hope with his 11th goal of the season.
The pre-season title favourites caused a few anxious moments, mainly from corners, but the Binos defended well and were always a threat on the break. They almost added a fourth goal when ex-Albion stopper Scott Buist sliced a cross narrowly over his own bar in the closing stages.
The only disappointment on a memorable night were injuries to Shaun Dillon, who went over on his ankle, and Smith, who received a nasty gash on his foot. McDonald will hope they are fit sooner rather than later, with that crucial home double header against Albion Rovers and Forfar looming.
BRECHIN CITY: Nelson, Fusco, Lindsay (McKenna 71), Dunlop, Buist, Grady, Crawford, Molloy, McKenzie, McManus (King 87), Hodge. Subs not used: McLauchlan, Webster, Scott.

Susan Milne, Team Leader for NHS Forth Valley’s Community Children’s Nursing Service has retired following 41 years with the NHS.
Susan started her nursing career in 1974 at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, and became a paediatric staff nurse on completion of her training in 1978. She then moved to Glasgow to train as a midwife and worked in Yorkhill Hospital in a paediatric staffing post before becoming sister in ITU and Accident and Emergency.
In 1984, she joined the children’s ward at Falkirk District and Royal infirmary as a Sister, before taking a short break to have family and returning a year later as a part-time staff nurse.
In 1996, Susan played an integral role in the development of the NHSFV Community Children’s Nursing service and completed a community children’s nursing qualification in speciality the same year. Since then she has worked as a team lead within the community children’s nursing team.
Throughout her 40 years of nursing Susan has witnessed many changes including advances in technology and medical support which have radically improved the outcomes for many premature babies and young children. She has also seen many changes to uniforms and nursing practice.
Susan was kind enough to send us some pictures of her early nursing career, include her first uniform complete with frilly hat that she remembers fondly!

Link to NYE highlights reel, images and fact sheets:
The team behind one of the world’s largest and most technically advanced fireworks displays is putting the final touches on the Sydney New Year’s Eve celebrations, ready to entertain hundreds of millions of people around the foreshore and globe.
It takes a pyrotechnic team of 60 people from Foti Fireworks International 12 days on-site to set up 18 shipping containers of equipment and fireworks on barges, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and 5 city building rooftops.
Linked to 15 computers and more than 25km of wiring and cables, over 8.5 tonnes of fireworks will be launched across two displays, at 9pm and midnight.
“We’ve been working with Foti International to create another spectacular show this year using pyrotechnic effects that will amaze and delight crowds,” Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore AO said.
“While everyone is enjoying the festive season, the crew behind NYE is busy loading barges, buildings and the Harbour Bridge with thousands of fireworks and pyrotechnics.
“They are working tirelessly for a night to remember with their incredible and innovative fireworks displays.”
Fortunato Foti is a 7th generation pyrotechnician whose family has been making fireworks since 1793. Fortunato is joined by 15 family members to help create the fireworks for this year’s displays, including his 3 children, nieces, nephews, brothers and cousins, as well as staff who are among the most experienced in the industry.
Now his 27th Sydney New Year’s Eve, such is Fortunato’s passion about his work, he said he is undaunted by the challenge of creating something exciting and new each year.
“We started working on Sydney New Year’s Eve back in 1997, and we quickly learnt what works best for a show of this size and scale,” Fortunato said.
“We’ve reached a point where each year we walk away thinking ‘that was the best show we’ve ever done’ – and really, that just spurs us on to do even better the following year.
“This year the displays will feature bright white, peach, lime, silver, gold, violet, yellow, burnt orange, pink and blue fireworks, as well as the crowd favourite colour-changing fireworks and some other surprises.”
Fortunato said music is also a critical component in the creation of fireworks displays of this scale.
“We design the show to flow with the mood of the music, in essence aiming to make the fireworks appear like they’re dancing to the music,” Fortunato said.
“We’ve meticulously planned the 9pm and midnight fireworks to perfectly synchronise with each show’s specially created soundtrack.”
Among the pyrotechnic effects in this year’s displays will be:
- fireworks with surprise shapes, and new pastel and neon colours
- fireworks launched from 184 firing locations on the Sydney Harbour Bridge including its top, façade and sides
- 6 water-based firing platforms spread across 6km of the harbour, 4 pontoons, 4 sails of the Sydney Opera House and 5 city rooftops
- more than 80,000 pyrotechnic effects fired from 18,000 cues across the locations
- 36,000 shooting ground-based effects including comets, mines and crossettes
- 13,000 aerial shells including serpents, saturn rings and horse tail willow shells which burst and drip slowly down across the sky – also referred to as a glittering waterfall.
The 9pm Calling Country display will be set to an original soundtrack produced by Nooky and Aria Award winner and Grammy nominee,18YOMAN – an anthemic hip hop sound with elements of traditional First Nations audio weaved throughout.
The midnight display will be timed to a bespoke 3-part soundtrack created by THE SWEATS that ranges from driving beats and contemporary electronica, through to elegant and lush choral moments.

There are many bits of stock-trading wisdom that, simply because they are both wise and obvious-sounding, have become clichés: “Buy low, sell high.” “Don’t catch a falling knife.” “Nobody ever went broke by taking profits.” The list goes on.
Now we might have a new one, thanks to the folks putting on an event for would-be investors in the newly emerging legal-pot business: “Be wary of marijuana companies that don’t exist.” So advises a press release touting the Marijuana Investment and Private Retreat.
“The average consumer hears all day long how the increasingly legalized cannabis industry is booming and a Mecca for aspiring marijuana business owners,” according to the release. “What they don’t hear, however, are ways ordinary citizens (e.g., non-millionaires) can also capitalize on this new industry by investing in marijuana stocks.”
Any seminar that had only the interests of “the average consumer” in mind would stop there and say, “Don’t invest in marijuana stocks at all unless you have a little cash that you’re totally OK with losing.” But that wouldn’t make for much of a retreat—it would be over before the mid-morning munchies set in.
To their credit, the event sponsors say they’ll “teach investors how to invest without falling for the many fraudulent stocks and scams that come with investing in a new industry,” and note that many pot stocks trade over the counter, and in some cases aren’t even backed by assets, much less revenue streams (that’s what they mean by companies that “don’t exist.”) Such stocks represent nothing more than ideas, if that. That includes nearly all pot stocks at the moment.
Keynote speaker Alan Brochstein, identified in the press release as a “certified cannabis financial analyst” and founder of 420 Investor, said: “Even those companies that file with the SEC have red flags that include complex capital structures, non-viable business plans, a lack of industry experience and leadership, and many other potential pitfalls.”
Other scheduled speakers are: Tripp Keber, founder of Dixie Elixirs; Wanda James, president of Cannabis Global Initiative; and Christie Lunsford, a consultant and a veteran in the marijuana business.

From January 17 to March 6, Southwest’s ARTECHOUSE will host the U.S. debut of Transient: Impermanent Paintings, an exhibit by Italian multimedia artist Quayola.
Originally created as an audiovisual concert for two motorized pianos by Quayola, the piece uses generative algorithms so each brushstroke is sonified with a piano note. As a symbol of musical tradition, the pianos synthesize technological and human features. By reproducing hand movements, they act as a link with the human while performing non-human virtuosity.
The same algorithms driving the hyper-realistic digital brushstrokes articulated endlessly on the impressive multi-channel projection system also materialize in the sound of classical pianos via Yamaha Disklavier, experienced through 24-channel L-Acoustics L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound technology.
In partnership with Yamaha and ARTECHOUSE’s production team, who provided hardware and software ecosystems available exclusively at the venue, the exhibit marks the beginning of a new sound and visual collaboration between Quayola and musician SETA in exploring new possibilities of art and technology.
“This exhibition aims to blur the boundaries between image and sound, presenting a series of immersive audiovisual installations along with motorized pianos,” Quayola said in a press release. “Transient does not generate finite music and paintings, rather it presents the impermanence that lies behind its algorithmic potential.”
As traditional artistic techniques are rethought in the context of human-machine relationships, Quayola’s exploration of the synergy between sound and image in Transient: Impermanent Paintings offers a unique experience of the intimate collaboration of classical music and painting.
Complementing the exhibit are three installations. One focuses on the technical and creative process that went into creating the exhibit, a second invites visitors to explore a multi-screen audiovisual installation with automated motorized controllers and a third which features immersive video projection and unique prints of visuals from previous iterations of the main installation.
“What is unique about this exhibition is the exploration of synergy between sound and image,” said Sandro, ARTECHOUSE Founder and Chief Creative Officer in a press release. “Quayola presents this as performance art, but at ARTECHOUSE we have transformed it into an exhibition where the performance continues to exist and engage with the visitor even after the artist has left. We believe this is an important step towards a new way to experience a live music performance.”

Helping to create value in Yorkshire
Sophie Isaacs and Ana-Maria Garaba, Origination Manager and Investment Manager in LDC’s Yorkshire team, spoke to TheBusinessDesk.com about the current opportunities for businesses in the region and how the private equity investor is helping ambitious management teams to pursue growth.
What makes Yorkshire stand out, and what is your future outlook for the region?
Sophie: I’ve spent my career working in Yorkshire and relationships mean everything. I’ve been able to meet some incredible business leaders here in the region.
For example, there’s a really strong community of technology entrepreneurs and tech is steadily becoming an integral part of other sectors – from healthcare to education, which is creating a lot of opportunities.
The advisory community here is also strong, and we’re lucky to have lots of talented teams and individuals with deep expertise that cover the whole spectrum of services. Working collaboratively, we’re able to help a varied array of businesses across the region to grow.
Ana-Maria: I would add that the business community is also becoming more inclusive and diverse. Companies here all seem to have a broad representation of people in terms of ethnicity and gender, which has enabled firms to better reflect the communities in which they operate and deepen their relationship with their customers.
Looking ahead, there are lots of exciting investment opportunities in the region and we continue to work with a range of great businesses. While many are still facing challenges relating to inflationary pressures and other obstacles, there remain clear avenues for growth and there are partners, like LDC, who are well positioned to support management teams through both good times and difficult ones.
Longer term, I think we’ll see greater inward investment into Yorkshire as more high-profile businesses move to the region. As Sophie has mentioned, there’s a thriving technology and digital hub here, but also world-leading manufacturing and services capabilities.
The arrival of Channel 4 in Leeds, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) recently announcing it intends to double in size in the region, and plans for a new Advanced Manufacturing and Research Centre in Sheffield, have shone a spotlight on Yorkshire and what we have to offer, helping to increase our national profile and attract talent. This will have a positive knock-on effect across the rest of the business community and it’s certainly an exciting time to be working here.
How does LDC help Yorkshire businesses to add value?
Ana-Maria: We’re Yorkshire’s leading private equity investor and have been partnering with management teams spanning Harrogate to Sheffield since we opened our Leeds office almost 35 years ago.
A great recent example of how we help management teams here achieve their growth ambitions is our partnership with York-based Cellhire, the global provider of mobile Voice and Data and Internet of Things (IoT) communications services, following our investment in June 2022.
I was part of the investment process from start to finish and I’m now working with the management team to help execute their plans. This includes expanding the business’ product and services offering and growing its customer base in the UK and internationally. And this year, amongst other activity, Cellhire will provide connectivity services at both the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and the Rugby World Cup in France.
Sophie: Another recent investment example is the start of our partnership with Boston Energy, a technical services provider to the wind energy industry.
Based in Beverley, the business employs and trains specialist technicians to build and maintain onshore and offshore wind turbines across the globe, including in Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America. Its technicians already support more than 10,000 wind turbines, and our investment is helping the company to target further international expansion by taking advantage of opportunities to grow in all of its core markets globally and to support the transition to a clean energy economy.
We also support management teams in our portfolio with access to our network of non-executive directors and industry experts, and our nationwide team of Value Creation Partners. This team of strategy experts, which has more than 150 years’ experience of operational, technology and commercial leadership combined, supports our portfolio throughout the whole lifecycle of an investment, in areas including pricing and marketing, digital transformation, international expansion, ESG strategies, and more.
Beyond transactions, how else does LDC make a difference in the Yorkshire region?
Sophie: We have a national partnership with leading youth charity The Prince’s Trust which is now four years strong, and last year we more than doubled our commitment to support at least 10,000 young people to start, sustain and grow their own business. This five-year UK-wide partnership extension made LDC the leading supporter of the charity’s young entrepreneurs.
Ana-Maria: Locally, we’ve also recently supported four more incredibly worthwhile charities; St Gemma’s Hospice, which provides expert care and support for local people with terminal or life-limiting illnesses; Zarach, which delivers beds and mattresses to children in poverty; cancer support charity Maggies; and Candlelighters, which supports families facing children’s cancer in Yorkshire. These are all outstanding causes, selected because they are close to our team’s hearts.
With the collective approach of the region’s corporate finance and thriving business communities, the future of Yorkshire is in safe hands. We look forward to supporting ambitious management teams here for many years to come.

Change Is Constant, But So Is Jesus - iBelieve Truth: A Devotional for Women - March 8
iBelieve Truth: A Devotional for Women
Change Is Constant, But So Is Jesus
By Keneesha Saunders-Liddie
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever – Hebrews 13:8
When my daughter was born, it was a truly momentous occasion. She was beautiful to both me and my husband, but we couldn’t figure out who she looked like. Everyone who came to the hospital asked the question, “Who do you think she looks like?”
As the days turned to weeks and then to months, my daughter went through many changes. At first, she lost weight and her skin peeled. Even though I was at home with her, I didn’t see the changes in her features until I started looking at all of her photos. She had definitely changed! Sometimes, she looked like her dad, but as she started getting older features more resemble me. As we watch her grow up, we see the hand of God as he’s still fashioning her in the way he designed her.
You might be wondering ok, so what does your daughter’s ever-changing features have to do with Jesus being the same at all times?
Well, there is one thing in this life you can guarantee: change is constant.
You will experience changes throughout your life. Even if you try to avoid change one day, you will realize that the world around you is totally different. You will wake up and realize everyone has moved on and left you behind.
However, there is someone who will never change. He is a constant in the lives of believers and nothing about him, what he has promised, or what he has done will ever change. His name is Jesus and he will be the same, yesterday, today and forever.
There will never be a time where God will speak to you and tell you that the debt that Jesus paid on your behalf is no longer valid. There will never be a time when God's promises won’t apply to you or benefit you.
Our Savior doesn’t even deal with time. He has already told us in his Word that 1000 years is 1 day in him. Once the former creation passes away, time will be no more, and eternity will begin.
And even there in eternity, he will still be the same.
Aren’t you happy that you serve a God who will always be there?
When your husband forgets his vows, steps out of the marriage on you or just comes to the conclusion that he doesn’t love you anymore: Jesus will never change.
When your children forget everything you’ve instilled in them since birth and get into trouble with the law or forsake their first love: Jesus will never change.
When you’re hurting because your mom or dad has forgotten who you are and now it’s hard to introduce your kids to their grandparents: Jesus will never change.
Although we live in a society where change is constant and almost fashionable, we have an anchor in Jesus and can always depend on him because he will never change.
God is not only immutably (unchanging over time), he is also omniscient (all-knowing). He knows our past, present and future. This is why it’s important to trust God’s plan for our lives. It won’t be every area that will produce yesterday’s result of blessings. You may be experiencing trying tests in your present, but don’t give in. Everything that happens to you, God will use to accomplish his good purpose.
So, if the blessing isn’t pouring like yesterday, remember that God already knew what will happen before it does and he will never change.
I am so happy that you are immutable and that I can always depend on you. Thank you for being the same yesterday, today and forever. Thank you for the future that I can look forward to knowing that you won’t ever change your mind and that you’ve got me.
In Jesus' name,

I had such a great response from my previous slow cooker recipe (slow cooker honey chicken) that I thought I’d go back to that well and find a slow cooker recipe that is Thanksgiving friendly. This one is a healthy alternative to the carb-heavy mainstays of turkey day. The key to avoiding major weight gains on a heavy-eating day like Thanksgiving is to plan ahead. Don’t just sit at the table and start chowing away, have a gameplan. Think ahead about what you will and won’t eat and decide how much you’re going to eat (I recommend stopping at one plate). I would recommend planning in advance to stay away from all the heavy sugar-laden foods (pies, cranberry sauce, etc). You can also plan ahead to make some substitutions. Eat the white meat instead of the dark meat. Make your stuffing from cauliflower and squash instead of using a bread based recipe. This recipe is designed to give you a healthy turkey option to fill you up so you can be thankful for your weight and health on the day after Thanksgiving.
I took this recipe from http://www.handletheheat.com.This Thanksgiving turkey recipe has so many things going for it. Not only is it some of the most tender and moist turkey breast I’ve ever tasted but it’s so ridiculously easy to make. Just plop everything into the slow cooker and move on to the rest of your Thanksgiving recipes. No brining, no marinating, no basting. Best of all, no taking up precious space in your oven! That means you don’t have to plan and strategize your side dishes nearly as much which takes away a lot of the holiday cooking stress. AND the gravy is so simple, no need for that weird pre-packaged stuff. This Slow Cooker Turkey Breast is especially perfect if you’re cooking for a smaller group and don’t want to spend a pretty penny on a huge bird that will likely go to waste.
Every slow cooker heats differently, so keep this in mind as well as the actual size of your turkey as you program your cooking. I would err on the side of caution and less cooking time, because you can always remove the lid and stick an instant-read thermometer inside the meat to test for doneness. If it’s not done yet, simply keep cooking.
The cook time will vary depending on the size of your turkey and your slow cooker.
YIELD: about 6 servings
PER SERVING: CALORIES – 547 Protein – 84g FAT – 25g CARBS – 0
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 5 hours
TOTAL TIME: 5 hours 30 minutes
1 large onion, quartered
1 (5 to 7 pound) bone-in whole turkey breast with skin
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for the gravy
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Place the onion, turkey breast (breast side down), broth, and bay leaves in a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Carefully transfer the turkey to a carving board and loosely tent with foil while preparing the gravy.
Strain the liquid in the slow cooker into a saucepan. Let it settle for five minutes then skim the fat from the surface. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened. In a small bowl combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the gravy. Simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring, until thickened completely. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the skin and discard before carving the turkey into slices. Serve alongside warm gravy.

The 60-foot pool for children and families usually opens to the public Memorial Day but will be closed until further notice.
Jimmy Floyd Family Center director Tim Hill cited a faulty pool liner as the reason for the closure.
“It’s got a liner that was put there in 1994, and instead of plastering it, we decided to put a new liner in there, and it’s been about 12 years since we’ve done that,” said Hill. “The liner ripped in two or three places over the winter, and when we filled it up, the whole liner came up and floated on top.”
Hill said there isn’t currently any timeframe on when the pool will reopen, but the process has started to get it fixed.
“We’re in the process of getting a quote on taking the liner out and just going ahead and plastering it,” said Hill. “As far as a timeframe on when that could be done, I’m not sure right now. I’m hoping to get with the mayor and then hopefully I can get a timeframe, and we can find somebody to do this project for us.”
The pool is currently locked to the public with no water in it.
Anyone who wants to swim during Memorial Day weekend may go to the Jimmy Floyd Center outdoor pool. This pool will open Saturday at 10 a.m. and keep normal hours until Labor Day.
The pool will be open daily from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. On Sunday, hours are from 1-5 p.m.
Visiting the facility costs $4 for children 3-5 years old, $8 for children and adults 6-54 years old, $3 for seniors and is free for children 2 and younger.

Gurugram/Nuh: A man allegedly involved in the communal violence in Nuh was arrested after a brief encounter with police, officials said Thursday.
The arrested accused was identified as Osama alias Pehelwan, resident of Ferozpur Namak village, police said.
According to police, so far 61 FIRs have been registered and 286 accused arrested in connection with the communal clashes that erupted in Nuh when the Vishva Hindu Parishad’s Braj Mandal Yatra was attacked by a mob on July 31.
Six people, including two home guards and a cleric, died in the communal clashes.
Late Wednesday night, the Nuh police arrested Osama after a brief encounter near Ujina canal drain.
A search operation was launched following inputs that the bike-borne accused was headed to Ali Meo village from Ferozpur Namak.
When police tried to intercept Osama, he opened fire at them and in retaliatory firing, he suffered a bullet injury in his leg. He was nabbed and placed under arrest, police said.
A country-made pistol, one cartridge and a motorcycle were recovered from his possession, police said.
Nuh Police spokesperson Krishna Kumar said the arrested accused, Osama, was wanted in Nalhar arson. He is being treated in Nalhar medical College.

Hard-working local campaigner Kate Salmon submitted a public question to BCP’s Conservative parks chief: “Please explain why it’s taken almost a year to replace the brand new piece of play equipment at Moordown Rec, that was vandalised a matter of weeks after it was installed.”
The curt reply Kate was given in a Council meeting didn’t explain anything:
Kate, a former council worker, has taken the matter further. She has taken up her citizen’s right to ask for BCP Council’s recorded information about this repair and insurance cover for the playground. Kate says: “I’ll let Moordown residents know any meaningful information I uncover.”
Green Councillor Chris Rigby sits on a councillor panel which recently held a hearing on playground upkeep across BCP. He heard that the Council’s set of playground insurance policies are messy and uneven. Some types of repair can be claimed on insurance at only certain BCP playgrounds.
Councillors also doubted if playground maintenance budgets are adequate. Council finances are devastated after 12 years of Conservative cuts.

The term "朦朧詩" translated into english, means something like "Misty Poetry", which i think fits the style of my lyrics quite well. Especially this EP, features a lot of misty and obscure poetry, about nature, winter and of course, topics like love, etc.
This is the first time i used traditional chinese instruments on one of my official records and as you can hear, there is a chinese theme going on in almost every song, sometimes subtly, sometimes quite obvious. In the two songs "Beneath The Ice" and "A Flower's Blade", you can hear the 二胡 (Erhu) and 古箏 (Guzheng), two really beautiful chinese instruments, which i bought in Taiwan last year and still love to play.
The song "Beneath The Ice" also features my first chinese-written poem, which you can hear in the outro of that song.
"Too High To Know" was actually recorded and published in june 2015, but never officially released as part of any EP. And as i somehow really liked it, i didn't wanna waste it and decided to make a remix of it, to put it on this EP, due to the similar sound of the other songs on there.
"You Suit Me", the last song of the EP, ends in a messy wall of sound, creating the perfect finish, for a hopefully satisfying EP.
Thanks to everyone for supporting my music.

Red and Green Quilts
Christmas Block Wallhanging by Kathleen McCrady, 1988. Photo by Alex Labry.
It’s December as I write this, and my home has been festooned for Christmas in a mostly red and green color scheme. At this time of year, I usually pull out a couple of red and green quilts to complete my holiday decorating. I could hardly be less original with my color choices, of course, as red and green have long been closely associated with the holiday season worldwide in countries that celebrate Christmas.
There are many theories, both secular and spiritual, as to why and how red and green became synonymous with Christmas. Most date the origin to pagan times, when evergreens were used in winter solstice celebrations to symbolize the continuation of life through seasons when much plant life died or went dormant. Holly, with its glossy evergreen foliage and bright red berries, was believed by Romans to be sacred to their god Saturn and so was used during Saturnalia, a festival held each December in his honor.
During the Middle Ages in Germany, “mystery plays” were customarily used to teach Biblical stories to illiterate churchgoers. In December, to illustrate the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, a pine tree was decorated with red apples. Eventually, the color green came to symbolize eternal life via Jesus’ sacrifice and red the blood of Christ.
Other traditions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, link the colors of red and green with spiritual centers in the body.
In the United States during the Civil War, a cartoonist by the name of Thomas Nast drew pictures of Santa Claus based on his reading of Clement Moore’s 1822 poem, The Night Before Christmas (then known as A Visit from St. Nicholas) and gave Santa a red coat and a holly sprig in his hat. Historians variously state that the Santa character in Moore’s poem originally had a tan or black coat. Later illustrators, including those who drew the popular 1930s-era advertisements for Coca Cola, solidified the image of Santa wearing red, usually set off with greenery of some sort in the picture.
The red and green color combination became a craze with quilters in the United States during the decades between the mid-1830s and mid-1860s, when many exceptionally beautiful red and green quilts were created. Quilters have long recognized that complementary colors (those opposite one another on the color wheel), such as red and green, appear to be more intense when used together. It was not until the middle of the 19th century, however, that red and green dyes became more stable. While this new colorfastness was especially true in the case of red dye (green took a little longer), quilters could not resist combining the two.
And so it seems natural nowadays to decorate at Christmastime with red and green, and for those of us who love quilts, with red and green quilts. Whatever the origins of the tradition, it is one that defines the holidays for many of us.

Hello Monday! I have just the little thing to get the week going. This is the second recipe in the series of 1 x 3 ways puff pastry and all three recipes just happen to be perfect for the burgeoning picnic season. Simple little goodies, wonderful cheeses, maybe even some rosé? Yes, picnic season, we’re so happy you’re here!
These little tartlettes are fulled with a cool, airy whipped chive and lemon mascarpone and topped with delicate slices of buttery gravlax and bright, fresh herbs. A sprinkling of cornmeal on the parchment paper before baking gives the pastry and extra little crunch, a wonderful contrast to that fluffy mascarpone. Their flavor belies their simplicity really and if you take the plunge and try your hand at your own gravlax, you’ll be rewarded with a truly lovely little bite.
There are so many twists you could add to these tartlettes, as well. They are of course inspired by the classic lox and cream cheese bagel, so why not try a little tomato and caper salsa dolloped on top with thin slices of shallot? Or delicate crunchy curls of lemon zest, cut into thin slices and quickly fried crisp in a little olive oil. Try other herbs in the filling, parsley, dill, tarragon? A mix? Or set out the mascarpone filled tartlette shells, the salmon, and any toppings you love and let everyone build their own little bite of summer!
Gravlax and Whipped Chive Mascarpone Tartlettes
makes 8 tartlettes
Try making your own gravlax for this recipe. I promise: it is easy and can be made ahead! However, assemble the tartlettes as close to serving time as possible to keep the pastry nice and crisp.
– 8 slices gravlax or smoked salmon
– 1 x 250g package of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
– 1/2 c. mascarpone cheese
– 1 tsp. chopped fresh chives
– 1 t. fresh lemon juice
– zest of half a lemon*
– 2 tbsp. milk
– pinch of salt
– fresh dill, parsley, and/or chives
– a small handful of cornmeal
– olive oil
* Try to get organic when possible, since the zest is being used. Also, if you are a lemon nut like me, feel free to use all the zest!
Preheat the oven to 210°C / 410°F with your baking pan turned upside down in it. Preheating the pan with the oven will give you a beautifully crisp crust and turning the pan upside down will make it easy to slide the finished tartlettes off onto a cutting board. This is the same technique I use for pizza; using a pizza stone if you have one would be fantastic as well.
Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of your baking pan and sprinkle it with the cornmeal. Roll out your pastry on the counter into a rectangle about 1/4 cm / 1/8″ thick. Cut eight circles out of the pastry using a 3 1/2″ diameter circle cutter then, using a fork, prick the pastry all around. Transfer them with a metal spatula to the parchment and gently press to adhere the cornmeal. Drizzle the edges of each tartlette with just a bit of olive oil. Bake until puffed and golden, around ten minutes.
Remove the tartlettes from the oven and, being very careful not to burn yourself, gently press down the center of each to be flat, using a potholder or the bottom of a glass to do this. Let them cool completely.
In a food processor, combine the mascarpone, chives, lemon juice, and zest. Pulse a few times to combine then add the milk and a pinch of salt. Scrape down the sides of the processor and pulse until whipped and airy, a minute or two, scrapping down the sides as necessary. Be sure not to add any more salt, remember that the gravlax is a bit salty and will add to the seasoning of the assembled tartlette.
Gently spread each tartlette shell with the whipped mascarpone. Top with a slice of salmon and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
See the first recipe in the series here: Roasted Red Pepper & Tapenade Tart
Next week, a sweet ending to the first installment of this series.

The JOTSA animation environment. JOTSA (Java On-Time Synchronous Animation) is an environment for World Wide Web-based animation of algorithms and data. ”On-time” refers to the moving of objects so that they complete their movement at a known time, independent of the hardware or operating system of the target machine. ”Synchronous” refers to the coordination of the movement of several objects. JOTSA was motivated by the need to represent exact timing relationships in network protocols and other time-critical applications in a platform-independent manner. JOTSA provides a Web-based user interface which is a natural vehicle for remote execution and wide dissemination. In addition to exact-time animation, JOTSA supports multiple dependent or independent views, panning and zooming, linking of collections of objects, event-driven simulation and synchronization. Applications have the full resources of the Java Virtual Machine and can be written to support interaction in a way that is familiar to the user.

Unlike other islands in the Archipelago, jagged and barren, Zannone is evenly shaped, compact, and with a lush and well preserved Mediterranean vegetation, therefore representing an ideal rest stop for thousands of migratory birds.
On the Island of Zannone, vegetation has diverse shapes and colours. Although the island presents a typical Mediterranean flora, with brooms, myrtle, tree heath and wild olive, vegetation remarkably varies according to elevation and exposition.
Clinging to the cliff, we find helichrysum; at higher elevation mastic, myrtle and heath take its place, and are shaped by the wind. Further up, the variety is more remarkable: Phillyrea, spurge, rockrose and broom, gradually replaced by strawberry trees and bushes of evergreen oak.
Completely different plants grow on the north-facing slope. Species are less numerous; there is a proper evergreen oak wood, with heath and laurel underwood. A single specimen of oak of Virgil represents the only deciduous species on the island.
Life underwater is just as luxuriant as on the land: while a thick, green wood covers the island, a thick forest of Gorgoniidae fluctuates on the seabed.
The lush vegetation makes Zannone an ideal intermediate destination for many migratory birds: beside more common species, peregrine falcons and western marsh harriers can also be spotted. Yellow-legged gulls, Scopoli's shearwaters, yelkouan shearwaters and blue rock thrushes nest on the island; migratory birds include the Montagu's harrier, the turtle dove, the swallow, the redstart, the aquatic warbler, and the woodchat shrike.
Endemic reptile species are lizards, lepidopterans, and orthopterans. A small colony of mouflons, originally brought from Sardinia in the 1920s, also lives on the island, and is now protected.
