III Points Festival 2014, Day Three
With Mac DeMarco, Jamie Jones and Hot Natured, Tiga, Com Truise, and others
Soho Studios, Wynwood, Miami
Friday, October 10, 2014
Good morning, Dade County.
Oh, you can't hear me 'cause you're still asleep and the bass is still tickling the inside of your eardrums? I don't blame you.
For the second year in a row, III Points has shown it definitely has a way of obliterating your sleep schedule. But it's all worth the lack of rest, if a life-affirming fix of four-to-the-floor beats is what you've been needing.
Entering the festival grounds, we were immediately faced with a Mad Max-style shantytown, complete with stacked, staticky TVs, stray airplane parts, and a defaced school bus converted into a hangout zone. The atmosphere of the fest has grown leaps and bounds since last year's more humble beginnings, and overall the production quality has been pushed way, way up, making for a more immersive experience.
Of course, this is a music festival, and the production value ain't much if you haven't got acts. Luckily, there were all-stars present from all across the electronic spectrum and beyond, from big, tent-filling acts like Flying Lotus and Mac DeMarco to more niche selections like Hercules & Love Affair or Kaytranada. Acts big and small made use of a more-than-ample sound system to shake asses and nod heads.
We swooped in around 8 p.m. to catch New York native Com Truise manning the decks, pumping retro-future bass through the Mainframe stage to a backdrop of pastel-hued galactic imagery. Heavy on tension and drama, Com Truise's set weaved through percolating synth lines and drums that stuttered and slapped like an old-school DeLorean tricked out with a hyperdrive.
An intoxicating mix of '80s nostalgia and forward-thinking dynamics, the man is a force behind the booth and an artist with a singular vision to grow over the years. If one complaint could be leveraged, the material could use a little more space to breathe before the next bludgeoning drum hit, and the tempos could wander more frequently out of the midrange. Still, highly recommended.
After an intermission necessitated by a short burst of pouring rain, a starry-eyed crowd gathered at the outside stage to welcome the new golden boy of slacker rock, Canada's Mac DeMarco.
Sticking out like a sore thumb at a festival loaded mostly with sampler-happy beat junkies, Mac nevertheless managed to capture the attention of the devoted crowd. And I mean devoted -- for reasons unknown, Mac had to play the show solo, sans backing band. A quiet, lone-wolf-style set at a festival is hard to pull off, and that goes doubly when you're fighting for volume against waves of pounding techno pouring in from other stages. In this regard, Mac did beautifully, captivating us with pitch-bent guitar chords and some mostly on-key, majestic warbling.
We sensed the guy has enough stage presence to entertain for hours on end and enough to charm to be convincingly modest about it all. At one point, Mac tossed out a pack's worth of cigarettes, one by one, to the crowd. At another, he took a break from crooning to slap the mic powerfully against his groin, producing a loud popping sound.
The indubitable highlight of his set, though, was when he inquired if anyone played drums and was soon joined by a fan who helmed the previously unmanned kit behind him. Together they launched into a distortion-fried rendition of Metallica's "Enter Sandman," complete with DeMarco's convincingly growly butt-rock impression. Overall, doubts about Mac's ability to carry a festival show dissolved into euphoric swaying and emphatic cheering, and his set full of self-proclaimed love songs undoubtedly sent many hearts aflutter.
One final crowd surf and it was back to the beat, as we rushed inside to catch the melodic, overdriven tech-pop of British-American hybrid Hot Natured.
Led by Jamie Jones and Lee Foss, who also cofounded their own label, Hot Creations, the band is an electronic supergroup of sorts composed of notable producers. The sound has an alt-'90s vibe, simultaneously intoning the peak of rave and the future of bass.
Tightly knit and impeccably curated, the group's electro licks tugged heavily at our dancing shoes while the tuneful crooning serenaded our ears. Melodically head and shoulders above their peers, the group is definitely pushing dance music to new territories.
Things got a bit darker as Hot Natured traded the stage with Tiga, a Canadian producer whose set leaned heavily on build and release. He's worked with like-minded artists such as James Murphy and Matthew Dear, and their sense of dance-floor drama and momentum has definitely rubbed off on him.
A master of the slow crescendo, Tiga's tracks fade effortlessly into one another, creating peaks and valleys in an overarching structure designed to push a beat to its breaking point and back again. Frantic imagery unfolded behind him as tempos coalesced and diverged, maintaining a forward push while allowing enough subtle complexity to keep things fresh.
As the night crept into the wee hours, Jamie Jones (who had just dismounted the stage with Hot Natured) returned to the decks for a victory lap to send us off with a grin.
A perfect closing act for the tech-minded festival, Jones was once voted the world's foremost DJ by acclaimed dance magazine Resident Advisor and regularly holds his "Paradise" series of parties at the DC10 club in Ibiza, so it should go without saying that the dude is no slouch behind the turntables. His distinct mix of Chicago-influenced minimal house and the more lush sensibilities of techno whirred into a metabolic beast that shatters conventions.
Even detractors of house have to acknowledge Jones' uncanny ability to meld genres and techniques into a fluid and melodic force.
And then, just as suddenly as it descended upon sleepy Wynwood, III Points began to empty out into the night.
A festival with a little something for everyone (and a lot for electronic devotees), the future seems bright for this fledgling event to take off in any direction it pleases in the coming years.
As long as the organizers continue to book compelling and diverse acts, we'll gladly follow.

Footbridge(Redirected from Pedestrian overpass)
A footbridge (also called a pedestrian bridge, pedestrian overpass, or pedestrian overcrossing) is a bridge designed for pedestrians and in some cases cyclists, animal traffic, and horse riders, instead of vehicular traffic. Footbridges complement the landscape and can be used decoratively to visually link two distinct areas or to signal a transaction. In many developed countries, footbridges are both functional and can be beautiful works of art and sculpture. For poor rural communities in the developing world, a footbridge may be a community's only access to medical clinics, schools and markets, which would otherwise be unreachable when rivers are too high to cross. Simple suspension bridge designs have been developed to be sustainable and easily constructible in such rural areas using only local materials and labor.
An enclosed footbridge between two buildings is sometimes known as a skyway. Bridges providing for both pedestrians and cyclists are often referred to as greenbridges and form an important part of sustainable transport movement towards more sustainable[clarification needed] cities. Footbridges are often situated to allow pedestrians to cross water or railways in areas where there are no nearby roads to necessitate a road bridge. They are also located across roads to let pedestrians cross safely without slowing down the traffic. The latter is a type of pedestrian separation structure, examples of which are particularly found near schools, to help prevent children running in front of moving cars. Small footbridges can also be used for a technical effect in ornamental gardens.
Types of footbridges include:
- Simple suspension bridge
- Clapper bridge
- Moon bridge
- Step-stone bridge
- Zig-zag bridge
- Simple truss
The residential-scale footbridges all span a short distance and can be used for a broad range of applications. Complicated engineering is not needed and the footbridges are built with readily available materials and basic tools.
Different types of design footbridges include:
Footbridges can also be built in the same ways as road or rail bridges; particularly suspension bridges and beam bridges. Some former road bridges have had their traffic diverted to alternative crossings and have become pedestrian bridges; examples in the UK include The Iron Bridge at Ironbridge, Shropshire, the Old Bridge at Pontypridd and Windsor Bridge at Windsor, Berkshire.
Most footbridges are equipped with guard rails to reduce the risk of pedestrians falling. Where they pass over busy roads or railways, they may also include a fence or other such barrier to prevent pedestrians from jumping, or throwing projectiles onto the traffic below.
Provides safe and sustainable crossings and provides technical assistance to local government and communities need simple, easily applied guidelines on the selection and construction of effective water crossings. Much rural travel takes place on local paths, tracks and village roads. These provide essential access to water, firewood, farm plots and the classified road network. Communities and/or local government are generally responsible for this infrastructure.[dead link]
Pedestrian overpasses over highways or railroads are expensive, especially when elevators or long ramps for wheelchair users are required. Without elevators or ramps, people with mobility handicaps will not be able to use the structure. Often, people will prefer to walk across a busy road at grade rather than expend the effort to climb up the bridge and go over it. Overpasses should only be used where the number of users justify the costs.
Narrow, enclosed structures can result in perceptions of low personal security among users. Wider structures and good lighting can help reduce this.
Footbridges are small, but important, because they are usually presented in townscape. The appearance of footbridges, and indeed of any other bridges, in a town, is a major concern for designers. People have to live with these structures, usually seeing them every day. In the towns that are big on architectural or scenic interest, conflicting demands may arise and bridges will be built.
Footbridges, in fact, can be elegant or beautiful, and are built on a more human scale than large road and railway bridges. Railway footbridges tend to be somewhat utilitarian, which were present in the earlier years. Apart from those in stations and in towns, they are generally not much seen, even by the passengers who go under them.[not in citation given]
In developing countriesEdit
Since the early 1980s, several charities have developed manualized footbridge designs that are sustainable for use in developing countries. The first charity to develop such standardized designs was Helvetas, located in Zurich, Switzerland. Designs that can be sustainably and efficiently used in developing countries are typically made available to the public gratis. The number of bridges built using such wire rope technology in developing countries number over 6,000 (versus a worldwide need of 500,000.
The record for the longest footbridge in the world was claimed by the NY State Governor David Paterson in an Oct. 3, 2009 Poughkeepsie Journal article about The Walkway Poughkeepsie Bridge across the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie, New York. On July 22, 2017, the Champlain Bridge Ice Structure, or "l'Estacade Champlain" in French, a bridge built for bicycles and foot traffic only to parallel the Champlain Bridge from Brossard, Quebec west to Nun's Island (L'ile Des Soeurs) & the Island of Montreal, was measured by a calibrated device as being 7,512 feet (2,292 meters) long or 1.4227 miles or 2.292km, starting and ending where the treadway rises above the ground and a pedestrian could access the bridge as close as possible to the St Lawrence River.
The Walkway Over The Hudson footbridge was originally built for trains, it was recently restored as a pedestrian walkway. The footbridge has a total length of 2,063 meters (6,768 feet). Before it was demolished in 2011, the Hornibrook Bridge which crossed Bramble Bay in Queensland, Australia was longer than the Poughkeepsie Bridge at 2.8 km (1.7 mi). Other examples include:
- The Bank Bridge and the Bridge of Four Lions in Saint Petersburg
- The Big Dam Bridge between Little Rock and North Little Rock, Arkansas
- The Big Four Bridge between Louisville, Kentucky and Jeffersonville, Indiana
- The Capilano Suspension Bridge in British Columbia
- The Chain of Rocks Bridge near St. Louis, Missouri
- The Champlain Bridge Ice Structure, or "l'Estacade Champlain" in French near Montreal, Quebec
- The Davenport Skybridge in Davenport, Iowa

- The Waco Suspension Bridge in Waco, Texas
- The Webb bridge in the Melbourne Docklands
- The Walnut Street Bridges in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Chattanooga, Tennessee
- The Willimantic Footbridge in Willimantic, Connecticut
It was originally usual for passengers to cross from one railway platform to another by stepping over the tracks, but from the mid-19th century onwards safety demanded the provision of a footbridge (or underpass) at busier places. However, in some quieter areas, crossing the line by walking over the tracks is possible.
Design of footbridges normally follows the same principles as for other bridges. However, because they are normally significantly lighter than vehicular bridges, they are more vulnerable to vibration and therefore dynamics effects are often given more attention in design. International attention has been drawn to this issue in recent years by problems on the Pont de Solférino in Paris and the Millennium Bridge in London.
To ensure footbridges are accessible to disabled and other mobility-impaired people, careful consideration is also given to provision of access lifts or ramps, as required by relevant legislation (e.g. Disability Discrimination Act 1995 in the UK). Some old bridges in Venice are now equipped with a stairlift so that residents with a disability can cross them.
Narrow footbridges or walkways to allow workers access to parts of a structure otherwise difficult to reach are referred as catwalks or cat walks. Such catwalks are located above a stage (theater catwalk) in a theater, between parts of a building, along the side of a bridge, on the inside of a tunnel, on the outside of any large storage tank in a refinery or elsewhere, etc. The walkway on the outside (top) of a railroad cars such as boxcars, before air brakes came into use, or on top of some covered hopper cars is also called a catwalk. With the exception of those on top of railroad cars, catwalks are equipped with railings or handrails.

text: Starting the album off with the ARP keyboard odyssey of "Electric Level 1" is like entering the vortex of color and light in Kubrick's 2001. The aptly titled "Two in the Chest" showcases Deck & Eso's ability to deliver punchlines and pop culture references with ease over an exceptional bass and guitar combo. "Czar Wars" has the two sparring back and forth bringing that 'X-Men/Danger Room' mentality that Deck often to refers to when in Czar-mode. Psycho Les of The Beatnuts steps in on "Dust" while "Lizard City" introduces 'Czarface Pajamas'. Yes you read that correctly. The off-kilter "Steranko" has Meyhem Lauren and Rast join forces with Czarface as they weave their way through a mind-bending array of varying beats. Other features on the album are Conway on "Machine, Man & Monster" and AOTP's Blacastan on "Tarantulas." Another one of the album's highlights is "Dare Iz A Darkseid" which along with "Talk That Talk" is the perfect balance of wit and humor that make up the core of Czarface.

NYC Readies for Record-breaking Fancy Food Show
The Summer Fancy Food Show, which takes place June 30-July 2 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, is back in New York with its largest show ever.
Now in its 59th year, it is the largest marketplace devoted exclusively to specialty foods and beverages in North America. The exclusive trade event will fill more than 354,000 square feet of exhibit space at the newly renovated Javits Center, including its new hall, Javits Center North. The exhibit halls have been sold out for weeks.
This year’s event features a new look, and marks the official launch of the Specialty Food Association’s new brand to promote and recognize the industry: Specialty Food. Craft. Care. Joy. The association, formerly the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade Inc., owns and operates the Fancy Food Show.
“Interest in specialty food is at an all-time high as consumers seek top-quality foods from purveyors who bring passion and commitment to their offerings,” said Ann Daw, president of the Specialty Food Association. “The people behind the products will be very much in the spotlight at our show.”
For the past two years, the Summer Fancy Food Show was in Washington, D.C., while the Javits Center was undergoing a renovation.
In addition to 1,500 U.S. exhibitors, there will be 34 international pavilions, including first-time pavilions from Bulgaria, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Switzerland. The Caribbean will be well represented with food manufacturers from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and the Dominican Republic. Italy boasts the largest international presence, followed by Turkey, France and Spain.
U.S. exhibitors will have new opportunities to connect with buyers from countries including China, Mexico, Canada and Brazil, which are participating in a special international buyers program. More than 20,000 buyers are expected to attend.
More information about the Fancy Food Show is available online.

Sen. Cynthia Villar today presented the committee report on the bill that will provide the enabling environment, including a clear legislation and a proper tax and incentives system for farm tourism in the country.
Villar, chair of the Committee on Agriculture and Food, sponsored Senate Bill No. 3002 under Committee Report No. 289, or “An Act providing for the development and promotion of farm tourism in the Philippines and for other purposes.”
“The Philippines as an agricultural country is blessed with abundant natural resources, biological diversity and cultural heritage. We have what it takes to take a strong lead in farm tourism in the region, and even globally,” Villar said.
Among the salient features of the bill is the formulation of a Farm Tourism Strategic Action Plan consistent with the National Tourism Development Plan. This will provide the specific programs and activities that need to be done by government agencies and industry stakeholders.
Under the bill, the Farm Tourism Development Board composed of private sector/industry stakeholders will also be created.
The incentives and tax exemptions identified in the original bills were removed since incentives are already mandated under different laws.
“Farm tourism will be a major contributor in bringing back the glory days of agriculture in our country given the potential to increase the income of people involved in agriculture as well as to help solve the problem of urban migration,” Villar said.
Together with the Agriculture Committee, the bill is submitted jointly by the Committee on Tourism and Ways and Means. The report is in substitution of Senate Bills 802, 2184, 2234, 2673, and 2766 with Senators Antonio Trillanes IV, Lito Lapid, JV Ejercito, Sonny Angara, and Villar as authors.
The substitute bill addresses the concerns raised by the private sector on priority infrastructure support or agritourism farms, accessible financing facilities and free training on the service industry including tour guiding across the regions.
Villar also noted that long before the farm tourism label, small, family-owned, and community-based farms are already thriving in many parts of the country.
“With this legislation, local farm tourism practitioners and operators will be able to level up their operations or activities to attract more visitors and travelers to farm areas for production, educational and recreational purposes,” she said.
Villar said in June, she led a study tour of the best agri or farm tourism sites in Taiwan with some governors and learned that “farm tourism in the country can grow in leaps and bounds if we adopted more innovative concepts and technologies.”

This article was originally published in the Journal of International Humanitarian Legal Studies, vol. 1, 2010
It took one of the world’s deadliest disasters, the tsunami of 2004, to bring home to governments and policymakers around the world the need to develop more effective responses to natural disasters and the people uprooted by them. Five million people were displaced and some 250,000 killed in 11 different countries in Asia and Africa. Even today, six years later, reconstruction efforts are ongoing, while the impact on infrastructure, clean water, sanitation, and livelihoods is expected to last for decades.
The tsunami was caused by an earthquake, not climate change, but floods, hurricanes, cyclones, landslides and other ‘sudden-onset’ disasters are expected to become more frequent and severe in the future as a result of climate change. Over the past two decades, the number of recorded disasters has doubled from approximately 200 to over 400 per year; and nine out of 10 disasters have been climate-related. The total number of people affected by natural disasters over the past decade has reportedly tripled to two billion people, an average of more than 200 million people directly affected each year.
The increase in natural disasters is expected to produce massive displacement that will change the world’s perception of forcibly displaced people, currently thought of primarily as refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) uprooted by persecution and conflict. The vast majority will be displaced inside their countries, although significant numbers will cross internationally recognized borders, especially when island States become submerged. Although estimates of the numbers of those displaced will vary, a 2007 Christian Aid report estimates that between 2007 and 2050, “climate change-related phenomena” (floods, hurricanes, drought) will “permanently” displace 250 million people. The United Nations and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) find that while they cannot predict whether the people involved will be permanently or temporarily displaced, in 2008 alone some 36 million people were uprooted by sudden-onset natural disasters, including 20 million displaced by disasters associated with climate change.
If one were to add to these numbers those compelled to leave their homes by longer-term environmental problems (e.g. drought, desertification, rising sea levels, extreme temperatures, deforestation, land degradation), known as ‘slow-onset’ disasters, the total for 2008 would undoubtedly be tens of millions more. The UN/IDMC report cites a figure of 26.5 million drought-affected persons in 2008, but no overall estimate exists of those displaced by slow-onset disasters. Traditionally, migration from such disasters has been perceived as ‘voluntary’, but increasingly such movement is also being seen as ‘forced.’ Indeed, long-standing international definitions of forced migrants and the international systems of protection for them may have to expand to accommodate the many different patterns of migration emerging.

They’re right behind me. If I slow down or stop, I don’t want to think about what they’ll do to me. I can hear them, screaming at me at the top of their lungs.
I fell into their trap-again.
Their voices pierce me like arrows. I can hear the claws scrabbling against the ground. I’m running for my life.
How did I get here? Where did I go wrong? The past few days are flashing through my mind as I seek an escape route; a hiding place; anything to provide me some cover.
I think about what happened; about what brought me to this place. I’m fleeing for my life in the face of a demon horde bent on my destruction. I’m fleeing because of my own decisions and choices. I’m running because I couldn’t bear to let the “good life” pass me by without partaking in it.
And now, I’m here. And I’m tired. I’m ready to give up and just let them do with me what they will; maybe it won’t be so bad. After all, don’t I deserve it?
I need to stop. Wait; what’s that up ahead in the fog? What is that, some kind of structure? I’ve been running so long, I didn’t see it in the distance. But how did I get here? I feel like it has been here the whole time-like I’ve just been running around it.
The voices bring me back to reality. They have redoubled their screams as the building ahead comes into sharp focus. I see spires and towers, gleaming in the light. I run straight at it.
A door opens, and shuts behind me. Just in time….
I fall to the ground; a lump of flesh, shaking, just trying to catch my breath. I hear them beating on the other side of the fragile door. Screaming at me, wanting to rend me to pieces…
I stand up and look around. And I see them for the first time, my rescuers. They look so fragile. They smile at me. One comes up to me and offers me something to eat; another something to drink. “Slowly,” they say. “You’ve been running around out there for quite a while.”
But you don’t understand; the monsters are after me. That door is not going to hold against them. My companions just smile. One comes up to me; he wears leadership like a visible coat. I can tell he is the one leading this group.
“Things are NOT always as they seem,” he says. With that, they begin to dress themselves. I realize that they are strapping on armor. They are going to go out there and fight.
“What are you doing?” I say. “You can’t go out there. Those…things are out there. They’ll tear you apart!” And then I realize they’re going out there for me.
No, I don’t deserve this. I don’t deserve these people going out to die for me. I am so unworthy. I’ve done so much wrong. I try to get up; but I’m so tired.
I feel strong hands, sure hands; lift me up onto my feet. I watch as gates open, and the people who rescued me go out in the plain around the fortress. I watch them stream out, and I wonder why I didn’t realize that there were so many.
Then I look at them, and they look….different. They stand taller and more magnificent than I remember. And the weapons they have, swords, spears, all kinds of armament. Each one gleams in the sun. As if they were on fire.
The gates shut and I hear terrible sounds; awful sounds. I hear screams and shrieks of horror and fear. “No! They’re dying out there! It’s my fault! I brought those foul things here! I’m sorry!”
The hands take me up and lift me. I feel strong arms carry me up a flight of stairs. I find myself in front of a window, peering down on the battlefield. I expect to see carnage. I do; but not like I thought.
The demons are the ones shrieking. They are being vanquished. They are being dispatched by the hundreds; by the thousands. And the attacking forces, my rescuers, are methodically cutting down the demon horde.
I watch in awe. And as quickly as it started, it’s over. Not one of the marauding hordes is left to face me. They have been beaten.
I turn to look into the face of the Person holding me up. He has a crown on; and piercing eyes. He looks upon me, and I feel like I can’t hide anything from Him. This is even more fearful than the demonic group. I fall on my knees at His feet, begging Him not to look at me; sobbing that I’m not worthy of what He has done for me.
And I feel Him pick me up, and hold me close. And then, I hear, “My child, my child. You are worth my entire Kingdom. I love you more than you could know. I have always been here, with My army, waiting on you to call on Me.”
He is carrying me, right into His throne room. He carries me, and I am like a helpless baby in His arms. He seats Himself on His throne, and the returning army comes in and arranges itself around the room. Then they bow at His feet and praise Him. I hear them, as He holds me close, keeping me safe.
Run for the tower. Don’t give up, it’s there. The enemy is trying to hide it from you. He knows if you find it, you’ll be safe.
Run for the tower. You’ll be welcomed and safe inside.
Be blessed in the Lord,
Monday, May 14, 2007
I know your hurt and pain. I’ve been there. I’m walking through it myself. I know how you feel, even though you hear that you’re all alone. You’re in a long, dark tunnel with no seeming end. Your lamp is dimming; it’s not out, but it’s very faint.
I’m tired, God. I just want my needs to be met, just once. I want everyone who counts on me, to know what it’s doing to me. I want everyone who thinks I am a great person, to just feel what its like to be me one day.
Believe it or not, I’m tired of everyone counting on me and knowing that I’ll be there to back them up. Oh, I know that’s You in me, but it’s just so tiring. I’m just fed up with it, and I don’t know why.
I’m tired of feeling like I have to rush to everyone’s aid; to do the things you have equipped me to do. I’m just tired of being there for anyone and everyone who seems to come along.
I’m a little worried God, that in Your big plan for the world and everyone, I’ve somehow been forgotten. I feel sometimes like You’ve misplaced my file, and now You don’t remember me.
I sometimes feel like You have taken my life and placed it on auto-direct. “It’s okay,” You tell everyone. “He’ll be alright, He can handle this. I’ve got some other matters to take care of at this time.”
I know You’re with me, but I feel sometimes as if You’re just standing off to the side, watching me with a sideways glance, as we do our children. Not really paying attention to everything I’m doing, but just leading some generalities in my life.
I feel Your presence, but like it’s in a fog, or through a thick barrier. I miss You, and just for a fleeting instant, I wonder if I’m really the one who moved.
Please understand me, God. I don’t intend on giving up. No, this is a far cry from that. But if I can’t cry out to you in my pain and anguish, where can I go? Who’s going to listen to me if You won’t?
Where will I be if You abandon me; or worse yet, if I turn my back on You, how will I make it then? If I feel alone now, think of how I’d feel if I turned my back to You.
Sometimes, I just wish you didn’t trust my faith so much.
But thanks that You do, because I know that this too shall pass. It won’t last forever; it never does. And when the end comes, it’ll just happen. And I’ll just be going along and realizing, “Hey, this isn’t happening anymore.”
And then I’ll be able to look back on this and marvel at what I thought was so tough. I’ll laugh at how little this means in the big scheme of things. And then I’ll thank You for the person who is helped because of what You allowed me to go through in my life.
So that the person I touch because of You will not feel like I am down playing their fears. They will know that I can truly empathize with them and what they are going through.
Thanks for walking me through this, Lord. I couldn’t do it without You.
Oh, if you’re looking for a better ending, forget it. Write your own. We all go through trials. How your story ends depends entirely on YOU and YOUR faith. No one walks with Jesus in anyone’s shoes other than their own.
Cry out to the Lord, because He will never leave you, and He will ALWAYS comfort you.
Endure; be faithful, but not because I’m telling you to do so. You should do it because the alternative is worse than you could possibly imagine.
Have faith; patience is genius. No matter what the world tells you.
Be blessed in the Lord today,
Monday, May 07, 2007
This verse has been drilling into my head a LOT the past couple of weeks. I’m sorry that I haven’t been in touch with you lately, giving you interesting tidbits of embarrassment in my life. I’ve been having issues with my computer and e-mail. I did send out one verse, but I just put it straight online on my blogs.
It seems like it’s been forever. I think of you and I miss you. But you know this kind of shows how we should be in our walk. You shouldn’t count on me, or on ANYONE for that matter. And I mean anyone.
Now please understand me here, I said you shouldn’t count on me, NOT that you shouldn’t trust me. I am just like you, I’m human and faulty. I fit the description on the Post Office wall of the person who needs Jesus most.
Anyway, what I mean to say is that we are all faulty. I hate to tell you this about yourself, but it’s true. And you know who else is faulty? Your pastor, that’s who. He or she is faulty as well. Your best friend; and the person you consider your spiritual confidante, they’re faulty as well. Deep inside, we’re all human, and all faulty.
Oh, it’s not something that we like to admit. It’s not something that we just come out and bare to the world. But that doesn’t make it any less true. We’re all faulty. That’s why Jesus came to Earth. He came to show us that just because we’re faulty, doesn’t mean we’re unlovable.
And it doesn’t mean that when you need Him the most, in your moments of indecision, that He will leave you to your own devices. That would be kind of meaningless in the whole big scheme of things, right?
A friend of mine at work taught me that it’s always, always, ALWAYS, okay to ask God for direction. Don’t take a road for granted, just because it seems to be the right road for you, and one you have taken with God before. Don’t ever forget Who brought you this far in your walk. If you could pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, you wouldn’t need a Savior after all.
Don’t be afraid to ask God the question most on your mind. See we like to ask the people here on the ball of dirt with us, ignoring the fact that they are subject to the same limitations and preconceived notions that we have in our lives.
But when you ask, don’t pre-determine the answer you want. Don’t limit God to one side of the equation. See, that’s not asking for direction. That is telling God to fix the world to work the way YOU want it to work. That’s telling Him that any wisdom He imparts to you will be followed to the letter, provided that it goes along with the choice you have already made.
That’s when we make a mistake, when we follow God only as long as it’s in our PERCEIVED best interests. We follow him when it appeals to us.
On the other hand, sometimes we don’t want to hitch our camel up and go to the country that God has set forth before us. Sometimes, we get comfortable where we are in life.
“But God,” we say, “don’t you see how good I have it here? Don’t you know what all I’d have to go through if I went there for you?” And God says, “Yes, I do. But don’t worry, because I’ll be with you. I’ll walk this dusty road with you side by side. You’ll never be alone.”
Fear is a great motivator in our lives. Sometimes it’s positive; sometimes it’s negative. But God has said that He won’t motivate us by fear. He says that His motivation for us is love for our souls. Our motivation for Him should be love for what He has done in our lives.
We should just do it. I know that it’s hard for you to sit there and believe that. You’ll tell me that I just don’t understand what you’re going through, and all the things that are weighing on you. I know all of your excuses, because they are my own as well.
Ask Him for guidance, wisdom, a light on the path; whatever it is that you need at the time. Ask Him, “What next?” The only thing you need to remember is that once He gives you the answer, you need to pursue it and stick with it. If it’s from God, He will not leave it. He will move whatever mountains He needs, to make it work in your life.
Don’t be afraid; you have not, simply because you ask not. Ask in faith, with no doubting that you will receive your answer in due time. And never be afraid to back up what you hear with Scripture. If it’s from God, He will never, ever contradict what He says to us in life, with what He wrote to us in His love letter, the Bible.
Be blessed in the Lord,

VietNamNet Bridge – Vinh Loc District in Thanh Hoa Province possesses many world and national heritages but has not properly exploited its tourism potential, as discussed at a recent conference in Vinh Hung Commune.
A future national treasure: The citadel of Ho Dynasty in Thanh Hoa Province was recognised as world heritage in 2011. Housing many famous sites and relics, the province has great tourism potential that has yet to be properly exploited. — Photo: VNA/VNS
The conference, which attracted the participation of many researchers and representatives of relevant organisations, was aimed at thoroughly evaluating the historical, cultural, architectural and artistic value of the heritages and relics surrounding the citadel of the Ho Dynasty (1400-1407).
The conference is part of a series of activities to pay tribute to part generations, which can be credited for founding and bringing fame to the region, including Trinh Kiem, founder of the reign of Trinh Lords (1545–1787), on celebration of his 447th death anniversary.
At the event, participants presented 19 scientific reports to highlight the close connection between relics of the citadel of the Ho Dynasty, Trinh Palace and Nghe Vet and nearby heritages, as part of a project to preserve temporary local heritages and develop tourism in Vinh Loc District in particular and Thanh Hoa Province in general.
Participants maintained the district had great tourism potential; however, they agreed potential had not been fully exploited to attract more tourists and significantly contribute to local revenue.
“The citadel of the Ho Dynasty has been recognised as a world heritage for over five years but its value has not been fully exploited,” Nguyen Huu Tam, an associate professor from Viet Nam Institute of History, said. “The province has many beautiful relics and destinations, why don’t we take advantage by combining this with trade villages and tourism tours and diversify local tourism products?”
The participants also suggested that the district conduct more activities to promote tourism in a professional manner, invest in human resources, construct infrastructure and prepare a strategy on commercial, industrial, tourism and service development. At the same time, they said it was also necessary for relevant organisations to enhance locals’ awareness of the value and importance of the heritages in an effort to preserve and promote their value.
The conference also received feedback from travel agents about the advantages and drawbacks of local tourism as well as their suggestions on preserving the heritages in combination with sustainable development, which would create a firm foundation for connecting tours in the region.
Vinh Loc District is home to 66 heritages, one of which is a world heritage, another 14 are national heritages and 51 are provincial heritages, including the citadel of Ho Dynasty, Trinh Palace and Hoa Long Pagoda, creating a great potential to develop tourism.


text: Author summary: Intelligent behavior encompasses appropriate navigation in complex environments that is achieved through the integration of sensorial information and memory of past events to create purposeful movement. This behavior is often described as “complex”, but universal ways to quantify such a notion do not exist. Promising candidates for measures of functional complexity are based on information theory, but fail to take into account the important role that memory plays in complex navigation. Here, we study a different information-theoretic measure called “integrated information”, and investigate its ability to reflect the complexity of navigation that uses both sensory data and memory. We suggest that measures based on the integrated-information concept correlate better with fitness than other standard measures when memory evolves as a key element in navigation strategy, but perform as well as more standard information processing measures if the robots navigate using a purely reactive sensor-motor loop. We conclude that the integration of information that emanates from the sensorial data stream with some (short-term) memory of past events is crucial to complex and intelligent behavior and speculate that integrated information–to the extent that it can be measured and computed–might best reflect the complexity of animal behavior, including that of humans.

Neoliberal policy and the meaning of counterintuitive middle-class school choices
- Publisher: SAGE Publications
This paper considers how the nature and effects of neoliberal policy in education are illuminated by the outcomes of a study of white middle class families choosing ordinary state secondary schools in England. Having described the main features of the study and some of its findings, consideration is given to specific ‘global’ dimensions – one in terms of parental perceptions and the other drawing upon analysis of the global effects of neoliberalism, an example of which is illustrated with reference to an influential UK policy. We conclude that the conditions so generated not only provide advantages to those making conventional choices in keeping with a marketised service, but that they may also bring advantages to middle class families making ‘counter-intuitive’ choices as well.

How to be a responsible shooter? What helps with firearm safety? Let’s check our ten tips for firearms safety in your house!
Having a gun in the house brings you a package of responsibility. The security now is not only about gun maintenance but also the safety of family members and the shooter.
What did you learn about firearm safety in your house? Let’s type in the “search” box in Google; you’ll find a ton of advice.
But you will still need our help.
You will be getting confused looking at too many pieces of advice. This topic is for you. We have considered different situations of using guns at home then finally concluded ten tips for firearm safety in your house.
They are all simple and fundamental tips to follow, but many people ignore them accidentally. Then now, we emphasize once again about safety rules that everyone should learn by heart.
The first rule of all is pointing firearm muzzle to a “safe direction.”
How do we know which a safe direction is?
It’s the spot where the gun cannot hurt anyone when it fires, except the target. When the gun is not in use, we suggest pointing the muzzle to space such as ceiling or sky where nobody could suddenly pop up.
The gun must be not pointing to unwanted objects even when you turn on the “safety” or unload the gun. You know nothing that could come next so let’s prevent the unexpected from the start.
Don’t trust your “safety” device. We will tell you the reason why in the later section.
When the firearm is not in use, your finger can be anywhere on the gun but the trigger.
Don’t ever be optimistic about that you can take control of everything. Just a startle can lead you to pull the trigger unexpectedly. Besides, don’t do any unusual actions like jumping or climbing with your finger on the trigger, even when you are in defense mode. It’s dangerous for yourself and others at the same time.
This rule varies in different situations. Make sure that when you feel the danger, the finger is on trigger waiting.
Because we don’t want to hurt anyone because of a stupid moment of distraction, we suggest to watch out the finger.
Besides your finger, other objects like a jar or a door hook can turn off safety mode and pull the trigger. It’s unbelievable but possible.
Do you want it out of your control? If not, stay attached with the gun, put fingers in the air and be careful when the firearm is not occupied.
People will load the gun immediately when they feel something wrong. It’s essential, we agree.
However, they usually forget unloading it after that. It’s very dangerous because people may do some running, jumping or climbing before nesting safely in the house. What if the loaded gun fires when we accidentally mock it to the fence? And there are many “oops” situations that we cannot predict.
Unload the gun as long as it’s not in use.
Besides, always check your weapon if it’s unloaded before you put it back to the safe, in front of people or mount it on the wall.
All of these are to protect yourself and beloved people from undesired circumstances.
Because you will fire it, you must understand how it works. It’s vital for you to learn how the aiming operates, how strongly it vibrates and the sound it makes.
The more you know about your weapon, the better you control it. And for unexpected situations, you always stay calm as you understand your power.
Different firearms operate with different ammo: some barrel can handle several different types, some do not.
Besides, ammunition must be checked regularly to make sure of the condition. You don’t want the cases when you fail to shot then suddenly the firearm works without your notice.
You should have your gun reviewed by experts, not someone who “kind of” knows about firearms. Only experts can figure out malfunction or potential errors.
Be careful with storing guns in the house if you have children. You should prepare a gun safe to store guns or keep them out of children’s reach.
Adults usually underestimate children, but kids can accidentally turn off the safety and pull the trigger. Although the barrel is empty, firearms can harm children because of its weight.
Safety is just a device attached with a gun. That means this device can be out of order anytime. So, do not trust your safety mode with all your heart.
Here is the scenario.
You think the safety is on, but it’s actually off. How’s that?
You turn on the safety, but it’s actually in the between on and off. You do not look at the button when you pull it. Half of the safety doesn’t mean safety. The firearm may fire without your attention.
As a result, we advise you to handle all guns as if they are fully loaded with safety off and ammunition available.
Sometimes, the firearm doesn’t operate as you wish. At that time, people tend to look at the muzzle right away. Such a huge mistake!
When the gun refuses to fire, keep calm and check it out part to part.
Remember to point the muzzle to the safe direction and check inside the barrel. Keep the safety on and finger away from the trigger.
It’s a must to do it calmly and step by step. Don’t try to pull the trigger again and again because it might fire unexpectedly and hurt other people.
The family should be notified about the existence of the gun in the house so that they will not mistake it a toy.
But more importantly, you must educate people about how to stay safe with guns, especially children.
Children are so curious that they would ignore all of our lessons about staying away from guns. You must emphasize on how hard a firearm could hurt, what threats there are and how to do when they see such a weapon.
It’s helpful to teach adults in the house about gun operation just in case.
Besides protecting people, gunners should cover themselves up, too. Firing gun results of a loud sound and hard vibrations that can harm our ears. Besides, the eyes are also in danger when we aim with a too close scope.
So, we advise gunners to have an eyes and ears protection kit. In emergency cases, we might have no time to wear those, so it’s more useful to have a suppressor and subsonic rounds.
The final check is about the barrel. Do not leave any obstruction in the barrel because these objects will affect your shooting.
Let’s check the barrel carefully. Remove all obstructions even little tracks of oil or dust. Cleaning up will help the firearm to function smoothly and in control.
We see that keeping firearms safe is essential for all gun users, especially new gun owners. Besides maintenance, firearm safety tips at home matters a bunch. But people usually go terrified when danger situations come, and as a result, they quickly forget about safety rules.
Our ten tips for firearm safety in your house come from experiences and practices so that you can protect yourself and innocent people in all circumstances. They are mainly about proper use which guarantee bullets won’t pin in untargeted position.
There are a lot more tips that gunners come up while using. If you have any ideas, don’t forget to keep us updated.

Not everyone drinks in response to stress.

The film is a British-French biographical comedy-drama. Directed by Stephen Frears, written by Nicholas Martin, there is never a dull moment.
Meryl Streep is fantastic as Florence Foster Jenkins. Hugh Grant is delightful as St. Clair Bayfield, and Simon Helberg is highly entertaining as Cosme McMoon, the accompanist to Florence. Great casting: also of all the other people in the film. The costumes are good, and altogether, the film is a polished production. I loved it!
The question that sprang to my mind was to ask if Meryl Streep performed the singing herself. There is no indication anywhere I could find that anyone else did. She is brilliant. Having been a singer myself, I could fully appreciate her incredibly good, bad singing. It wasn't just as anyone could screech; it did sound the product of good training. I almost hate to admit that I couldn't stop laughing as Streep sang. She really was so good at being so bad.
I trained in the Italian Bel Canto method of voice production, and also the British method under a teacher from the London Royal School of Music. Florence was training under Carlo Edwards, an assistant conductor of the Metropolitan Opera. I would ask if he were a singer himself, and how had he trained in singing. What method of voice production did he teach? Perhaps she was tone deaf, or even deaf. That would help explain her inability to sing in tune. No amount of training, or any teacher, could help that. In fact, she was suffering from syphilis, and probably the effects were a large part of her problem.
I saw the film as a love story. Hugh Grant was perfect as St. Clair Bayfield, Florence's partner in life. They never married, but were inseparable right up until her death in 1944. Bayfield realised that she couldn't sing, but wanted her to be happy. Music made her happy, so he went along with her ambitions. He made sure that only those who appreciated her were allowed to attend her private concerts. When she finally gave a public concert in 1944, in the Carnegie Hall in New York, soldiers were encouraged to attend. Not understanding her, they laughed at her. Her loyal supporters cheered to drown out their laughter, and Bayfield hid the uncomplimentary reviews in the newspapers. St. Clair's love for Florence was constant, and deeply moving.
Florence loved music, and made it her life. It was so poignant that in spite of all her hard work, she couldn't sing in tune. I felt deeply for her. However, as she is reputed to have said herself on her deathbed, "They may say I couldn't sing, but they can't say I didn't sing!" I love her spirit! She died shortly after her memorable concert in the Carnegie Hall.
One of the most amusing, enjoyable films I have ever seen!

Some pruning instruments that can be utilized to maintain a garden. PETA makes several adaptive gardening instruments like trowels, forks, cultivators, weeders, and hoes. Ergonomic hand instruments corresponding to pruners, trowels, rakes, and even bulb planters could be found in straightforward-to-grip types which are light on muscle groups and ligaments.
Irrespective of how robust your week turns out to be, a day within the garden is usually a great stress buster, but it’s not always attainable to spend hours mowing, weeding and taking care of your plants. Then, visit our Backyard Instruments page to replenish on items you might be lacking.
Should you’ve already installed gadgets like sprinklers and garden lights, the Inexperienced IQ Good Garden Hub may be the best way to get them to work exactly the best way you want. Faulty gardening devices may cause injury to your plants or damage to yourself.
The linked backyard may even monitor data factors you’re either unable to measure your self or simply don’t have the time and power to track. Every gardener has go-to instruments they use to make gardening easier. However a garden could be a tricky thing to care for, whether you may have a pure green thumb or whether or not you wrestle to get seeds to sprout or to maintain crops alive until it is time to harvest.

Life in the legit theatre these days is pretty tough. Well, more than tough really, because there is almost no live theatre being made. The devastation that the COVID19 pandemic has wrought on our industry is heartbreaking. It’s been hard to imagine how we will survive, yet as I watched Monday Night Football, I was given a great sense of hope as quarterback Alex Smith led his team to victory.
If you aren’t into football or sports, hang with me for a moment and I promise we will get back to the theatre part very soon.
Alex Smith was the number one overall draft pick in 2005 and although struggling for a few years, took the SF 49ers to the playoffs in 2011. He was traded to the KC Chiefs where he did well, but was traded to Washington to be their starting quarterback in 2018. That’s where he suffered a devastating leg injury which threatened his life and required over a dozen surgeries to avoid his leg being amputated. Most thought he’d never play football again… except Alex Smith. He never considered retirement and began the lengthy process of rehab, finally returning to the Washington Football Team in 2020 as a backup.
(If you want to learn more about this, there is a great documentary on ESPN, Project 11, but I digress.)
Alex Smith stepped into his first post injury NFL football game in the middle of week 5, taking over for the injured starter Kyle Allen. Smith was sacked six times and threw for only 37 yards. Not a great start by any measure. Smith was back on the bench until another Allen injury, required Smith to step up again in week 9. Despite losing the game, he played much better and a few weeks later, lead his team to his first win in two years. Then, in week 13, on Monday Night Football, something magical happened.
The 4-7 Washington Football Team visited the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers who were favored at home by more than a touchdown. But Smith didn’t believe it. He led his team to an amazing comeback, down 14 points to beat the Steelers, 23-17 and end their 11 game win streak, handing them their first loss of the season. The Washington head coach said after the game, "These guys [this team] deserve it. We've been down for such a long time and we're trying to rebuild ourselves…” and that’s when it hit me…
The theatre is just like Alex Smith! Here’s where it ties in.
The entire theatrical industry and all of us who work in it have been completely devastated, wounded and hurt to a point that it’s hard to imagine coming back. Some have even left, moving on to other careers and that’s very understandable. It takes everything we have financially, emotionally, mentally, to remain steadfast and hold on to the belief that we will return. It would be totally reasonable to pack it up, close our shows, or find other work. Alex Smith could have pivoted to being a broadcaster and done quite well, but broadcasting (like streaming theatre) isn’t the same thing. Smith wanted to return to the game he loves. Just as all of us thespians are yearning to return to the stages we left so many months ago and have the live experience that us and our audience need and desire.
With hope, belief in ourselves, and the right medical attention, we can perceiver. We will recover and rebuild. There are things in our industry that we need to fix, change, adjust, like the coach said, “rebuild ourselves..” That is what rehabilitation is about. It’s acknowledging the challenges, leaning in to them, working through them. We don’t want to return to just the way we were, we want to return better than before than before.
We have a glimmer of hope with the vaccine finally here, but there is still a way to go before we get to be starting quarterbacks in the big game again. Rehab, relearn, rebuild, prepare, train, practice, rehearse. So when the time comes, and it will come, we can create the most inclusive, respectful, impactful, moving, entertaining, elevating, theatrical experiences and, as Alex Smith has done, lead his team on an incredible come back and overcome the odds.
Broadway is known as the Fabulous Invalid. It’s a nickname, taken from a 1930’s Kaufman and Hart play that covered the ups and downs of a 30 year period in the life of a Broadway theater. Well, life on Broadway, and in theatres across the country, has never been on a steeper drop than the one we are on now. This is just the big dip before the next great rise.
The story of Alex Smith’s serious injury and incredible recovery was so reassuring to me. The excitement of the game got me excited for the time when we come back to our theatres again. Our industry may be down, but it is far from over, and may very well be the greatest comeback story ever told!

This morning students from different countries of Europe have arrived to our High School. They participate in Eramus + programme and they have come from Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland and Slovenia. Previously, our students had travelled to their countries. After the headmaster welcome, they have come to our laboratory. We have had some easy experiments with plants in order to show them pollen morphology. We are very pleased to have received them.
Later on, they have attended a very interesting opening speech. Entitled Vegetal stress, drons and robots, Dr Matilde Barón Ayala a researcher from the Estación Experimental del Zaidín (CSIC), has talked to the students about her research, mainly the study of damage in plants and the implementation of new methods for improving plants efficiency in agrarian science, like the use of robots and drons. A very interesting beginning for our European friends visit to our High School.

FLORENCE, Ala. - Breakfast and lunch are staples of the school day. For some, it may be hard to think of a day without them but child nutrition officials know the unfortunate reality, some students simply cannot afford to eat.
Florence City Schools has a solution to address that.
“Florence City Schools is lucky enough to have qualified for a grant for our Pre-K through 6th-grade programs,” said Tara Talmage, Child Nutrition Program coordinator for Florence City Schools. “All of those kids eat for free regardless of financial status, however, it did not extend over to our 7th graders through our 12th graders.”
The school system has a “Refuse No Child Policy.” It absorbed the cost for older students but now, that’s where the Falcon Fund comes in. “The Falcon Fund is a program and an account that we have set up to receive donations solely to help with the Child Nutrition Program and the children that don’t have funds to pay for their meals,” Talmage said.
She added that anyone can donate to the fund through a “My School Bucks” account. She explained that a donation to the Falcon Fund will help the entire school system. “Whatever is remaining as the negative impact, those negative balances on the school’s accounts, they end up getting paid out of the general fund,” Talmage said. That means taking money away from other needs like technology and education updates. The Falcon Fund will help to keep those programs from being affected.
But most importantly, Talmage wants donors to know that giving to the Falcon Fund could be life-changing for students because for some, their school lunch might be the only meal they eat that day.

The Russo-Ukraine conflict has strengthened the EU’s will to seek strategic autonomy. However, the EU’s reliance on the US and NATO for security may halt further plans for strategic autonomy.
With Russian President Vladimir Putin aggressing against Ukraine, can the West maintain its control over the European geo-security order?
With a pro-transatlanticist back in the White House, the transatlantic alliance rejoices. But does the trasatlanticism of old belong in this new era? Observing the discussions from the 2021 Special Edition of the Munich Security Conference, it is clear that a new trasatlanticism is needed for the West to survive and flourish in a era of deepening multipolarity and growing international competition.
