(This post was originally written for hopemommies.org)
“But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”
These two little words carry life-altering significance. Whenever you see these words, you know something big is about to happen.
You were once dead… but God
You had no hope… but God
Sin had a hold on your life… but God
You were in darkness… but God
But God made you alive together with Christ!
When Christ showed Himself to be triumphant over death at His resurrection, He paved the way for you and I to rise with Him. Through the gift of righteousness that He secured for us on the cross, we have also been given life — abundant, eternal life — life forever in His perfect presence. Christ in your place and His Spirit in you, has achieved for you the redemption of both body and soul. Can there be anything greater?
“For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like His… Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
-Romans 6:6, 8-11
In Christ, we also shall rise, never to die again. Death has no dominion over us as believers. This is your life! This is your hope! If Christ is raised, and in trusting Him we too will be raised, than this life here on earth is merely a fleeting overture to the glorious life that awaits us in the ever-joyful presence of the Lord — life that your precious baby is experiencing even now!
“And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.”
-1 Corinthians 15:17-22
Those who rise with Christ are not to be pitied. We have been awakened to new life! Our old self with its sinful nature has been put to death with Christ. We are completely and finally dead to sin — dead to both its guilt and its power. This is resolute, unchangeable, and faultless. And this death to sin is accompanied by everlasting life in the Spirit. But we don’t have to wait until the redemption of our bodies in Heaven to experience this new life. This life isn’t just for later. It’s life now! It is a new life of faith and hope in God. It is life with the Spirit in us. It is not purely physical life forever in Heaven, but spiritual life here on earth now — we are alive spiritually even now. So, while this gift of life will occur in phases, we can be confident that it will indeed occur. Your resurrection is as certain as His, because the same Spirit that raised Him up to conquer death dwells in those who believe in Him.
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,”
-1 Peter 1:3
Great expectation! Dear one, because we have been given new life in Christ we can live with great expectation! We have been promised unimaginable riches for eternity. We can eagerly look forward to meeting our precious babies in God’s presence, because we have been born again —we have been raised with Christ!
“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.”
-1 Peter 1:6, 7
These trials that you are facing right now, this grief that weighs so heavily on your heart, is only for a “little while” in light of eternity to come. So stand strong. Hold on to hope. Rest in the arms of the One who has achieved for you a glorious new life. There is wonderful joy ahead.
Do not forget the treasures that you have in Christ. You have been united with Christ in His resurrection. This is your identity — one who has been born again.
You are alive!

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta remains hopeful that his side can qualify for Europe this season after they won their first game since the restart of the Premier League at Southampton. The Gunners had lost both of their previous two games, to Manchester City and Brighton, but Thursday’s victory arrests the slump, moving them up to ninth in the table. Champions League qualification looks unlikely, but with Manchester City’s involvement in Europe still up in the air pending their appeal against a ban for breaching financial fair play, Arteta’s side could well claim a Europa League spot.
The Gunners were helped along their way at St Mary’s by a dreadful error from Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy who faltered under pressure from Eddie Nketiah following a back-pass, allowing the striker to intercept his attempted ball out slot into an unguarded net. The win was sealed late on when Jack Stephens was sent off for fouling Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the last man and from the resulting free-kick substitute Joe Willock finished after Alexandre Lacazette’s free-kick struck the wall and his follow-up was parried. It was timely boost for the Gunners, who have struggled with injuries and form since the restart. The victory, though, was not undeserved. Prior to the goal, Nketiah had seen a close-range finish ruled out for offside and Aubameyang had crashed an angled effort against the bar.
Coming after such an impressive display in their first game back at Norwich, the result continues Southampton’s woeful inability to replicate their away form at St Mary’s. This was their 10th loss at home this season – equalling the club record for a Premier League season, set back in 1993-94 when their were 42 games in a campaign. With 10 points separating them and the bottom three it is very unlikely that they will get dragged into a relegation fight. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, in for the injured Bernd Leno, was solid, Granit Xhaka returned effectively in midfield and Nketiah and Aubameyang were typically lively in attack.
Full-back Kieran Tierney, who has been hampered by injury problems since joining the Gunners from Celtic last summer, limped out of the game in the second half. Also, Matteo Guendouzi was left out of the squad entirely. While manager Mikel Arteta stated that his exclusion was down to “squad management”, he also did not entirely dismiss speculation that the Frenchman blotted his copybook by clashing with Neal Maupay at the end of the Brighton game on Saturday.

The six principles that underpin all safeguarding work are:
- Empowerment: Adults are encouraged to make their own decisions and are provided with support and information
- Prevention: Strategies are developed to prevent abuse and neglect that promotes resilience and self determination
- Proportionate: A proportionate and least intrusive response is made balanced with the level of risk
- Protection: Adults are offered ways to protect themselves and there is a coordinated response to adult safeguarding
- Partnership: Local solutions through services working together within their communities
- Accountability: Accountability and transparency in delivering a safeguarding response
Safeguarding is fundamentally about managing risk surrounding the well being and safety of the individual.

Proper Flea Control
It’s very important that you keep your dog on a regular flea control. Fleas are a tiny insect that like to make their homes on your dogs skin and fur. They nestle in and feed off of your dogs blood and skin. Fleas bite the dog and cause intense itching. If left uncontrolled, the dog can develop severe skin problems and potentially lose all of their hair.
Topical Flea Control
The most common form of flea control is a topical flea control. There are several brands available, each claiming they kill or repel fleas and or ticks. Some dogs have allergic reactions to some brands. It’s best to consult a veterinarian about which brand might be good for your dog. The topical flea controls are available in several sizes corresponding to the weight of your dog. The topical are usually in a liquid form and are applied in dots down the length of the dogs back or at the back of the neck.
A flea collar contains a chemical that repels fleas. The dog wears the collar all of the time, providing a constant “shield” for the dog against fleas. Flea collars are a good alternative for dogs that have bad reactions to the topical flea ointments or for dogs that are in heavily flea infested areas. Flea collars are typically good for 90 days or so.
Flea shampoos are available to suds away the little monsters. The shampoos work by using a chemical that kills adult fleas and their eggs. Dogs with particularly bad infestations would benefit from a bath with flea shampoo followed by topical flea treatments or a flea collar. Several “flea baths” may be needed to be assured of getting rid of all the fleas. Most flea treatments also kill or repel ticks. Don’t forget- when bathing your dog, have plenty of towels on hand or your bathroom will be covered in water spray!

Evaluation of Empirical and Analytical Procedures Used for Predicting the Rigid Body Motion of an Earth Penetrator.
ARMY ENGINEER WATERWAYS EXPERIMENT STATION VICKSBURG MISS
Pagination or Media Count:
This report presents a comparison of five pretest predictions with the measured rigid body motion of a large penetrator normally impacting the Watching Hill Blast Range at the Defence Research Establishment, Suffield, Ralston, Alberta, Canada, at an impact velocity of about 500 ftsec. The prediction methods used were evaluated in detail. They included the Sandia empirical penetration formulas, the spherical and cylindrical cavity expansion theories, a viscoplastic force law, and the AVCO differential area force law. The capability of predicting peak rigid body deceleration and maximum penetration within a factor of two of measured test data was demonstrated by several of the methods.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Kimberly Smith is a mom to a kindergartner and first grader. She's excited about the upcoming school year, but Covid concerns still loom two years after the pandemic started. She reflected on the last school year and what could happen when classes resume for her two kids.
"Children still got sick," Smith said. "You don't know what they're doing on the outside and they bring it in."
According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, 58 percent of new Covid cases in the state were identified as the new sub-variant BA.5.
Smith said it's the highly contagious strain that has heightened some of her fears. She laid out her plans to protect her children the best way she knows how.
"I plan on getting them vaccinated because I'm vaccinated," Smith said.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children represented 12 percent of reported Covid Cases over the last week. In North Carolina, 29 percent of children 6 months to 17 years old are vaccinated with at least one dose.
The new numbers come as more students head to the classroom. This week Wake County Schools will welcome one of its largest cohorts of year-round schools, just weeks away from the start of the Traditional School year for children across the Triangle.
It's enough for parents like Shenikwa Barefield to mask up again.
" I did relax a little bit. I am vaccinated, but it still doesn't mean anything. So, I stress the importance of wearing a mask," Barefield said.
Pediatricians are also recommending masks and vaccinations as students head back to school.
" We still want to give our kids the best chance possible," pediatrician and North Carolina Pediatric Society president Dr. Christoph Diasio said. " It is true if you get the vaccine you can still catch the disease but it still massively decreases your risk of hospitalization or other complications. It's so worth it to not bring COVID home, probably your best bet is masking."
Masks are recommended but not required in Wake County Schools. Durham Public School System is also recommending masks and will continue contact tracing at the classroom level.

University of Regina researcher Mathew Fetzner has seen the mental toll that war can have.
The 27-year-old is now a doctoral student in the university's psychology department, but was a military man himself.
His first degree was a bachelor of arts in psychology from Royal Military College in Kingston, Ont. He reached the rank of corporal and spent six years in reserve units. Mr. Fetzner's grandfather served in Korea and his brother is a captain based at CFB Gagetown.
Mr. Fetzner was never deployed, but watched his buddies go overseas.
"I can think of one guy, he came back and for a while he wasn't really himself," he said. "I remember before he came back he was usually laughing and joking – life of the party – and when he came back he really didn't want to talk to anybody. I'm not saying that he had PTSD because I don't know, but I think there was something different about him for a while."
That experience is prompting Mr. Fetzner's research on the effects of aerobic exercise on reducing post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. This week, he was awarded a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Mr. Fetzner will get $50,000 per year for three years through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
"My ultimate goal for this is to find ways to better treat individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder," Mr. Fetzner said. "Treatment adherence within PTSD treatment is always a problem and acceptability of treatment is always a problem, just because sitting down, talking with somebody, isn't always appealing to people. So if we can find adjuncts to treatment that can help individuals with PTSD, you know, this could be a good leap forward."
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that the Canadian Forces website describes as an extreme reaction to stress. Symptoms include nightmares or flashbacks, avoidance of people or places that remind the individual of the traumatic event, exaggerated startle response, mood swings or disturbed sleep.
The military says the vast majority of soldiers that deploy do not develop PTSD. Post-deployment screening three to six months after return has shown that about five per cent of personnel report symptoms of PTSD, depression or both.
One of the most high-profile cases of PTSD involved former general, Romeo Dallaire, now a Senator.
General Dallaire went public about his struggles with post-traumatic stress after his United Nations mission during the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Gen. Dallaire was found in 2000 half-conscious and curled in a fetal position in a Quebec park. In his autobiography, the former soldier admitted he twice tried to kill himself.
Many returning soldiers are reluctant to admit they might have PTSD because they don't want to appear weak.
Mr. Fetzner said he hopes that getting on a treadmill might be an easier pill for vets to swallow. He noted that exercise has been proven to help alleviate depression.
"There's literature out there that suggests that aerobic exercise has effective mental health benefits," he said.
"Part of my research will be looking at, first off, does the therapeutic effects that are recognized in other disorders carry forward to post-traumatic stress disorder, which all preliminary evidence kind of suggests that it does."
Mr. Fetzner said it will be a long process. It could be a few months before the physical tests actually start. He'll need more time to analyze the data and publish the findings.
He knows the findings will be important to a lot of people.
"Especially now with the Canadian Forces ending ... their combat role in Afghanistan, we're getting a lot of guys coming back and we're seeing something that we haven't really seen in Canadian history before. We've gone through over a decade of war and it's a different kind of war than we've seen in the past, too, and we're seeing a lot of mental health ramifications of that.
"So I think now is a really important time to be cognizant of effective ways of treatment."

I TARGET PLOTTING PROJECTOR UNIT DEVICE Fqlled March 30, 1955 3 She'ets-Sheet 3 Unite States Target plotting projectors are in common use for naval, military, civil defense and aviation purposes and also serve as instruction and training equipment.
Their function is commonly to indicate the position of a specific object or target relative to either the observer or relative to another object. Changes in the position of the target are shown by the projector, in such manner that not only the position but also the movement of the target, relative to the arbitrarily chosen point of reference, is continuously recorded.
These target plotting projectors of conventional design and construction, have a number of disadvantages, for instance:
A. computer must be employed in conjunction with the unit to calculate the tilt angle for each target image location because there exists no linear relation between the data-feed and the projector-movement.
A further non-linearity is introduced and a second reason for the computer in conventional units, becomes obvious if the target projector is located eccentric of the zero point.
In the design and construction of projectors, according to the present invention, the necessity for the use of a computer is eliminated because the target projection means move in a plane parallel to the projection plane and do not tilt, thus there exists a linear relationship between the movement of the target and the target range is projected.
For the same reason the shape of the target and its projected image remain similar and the image does not become elongated. Furthermore, in the present invention there are provisions to compensate for parallax.
The tilting of the projector, in the conventional arrangements, affects the shape, size and sharpness of the projected target-image, causing it to appear elongated, out of focus and of changing size. This also affects the exactness of the plotting information.
The image of the target appears elongated in conven tional construction because the projector had to be tilted to project target-locations. Through the tilting the optical axis of the projection lens is no longer perpendicular to the projection plane and furthermore the projecting plane is no longer parallel to the object plane.
In conventional systems, the distance between the projection lens system and projection-plane changes, while the distance between the projection lens system and the light source remains the same. This means that the ratio between the two conjugates of the projection lens system changes during a plotting operation the long conjugates varying and the short conjugates remaining constant, and thus causes the magnification of the target image to vary, during a plotting operation.
In systems, constructed in accordance with the present invention, the ratio between the conjugates of the projection lens system remains constant and thus the image magnification remains also constant. This fixed ratio between the two conjugates and thus the fixed image atent "ice magnification is maintained in the systems of the present invention regardless whether, for the purposes of plotting either the projection lens system is moved with re spect to the target or the target is moved with respect to the projection lens system. For the same reason the target remains always in sharp focus.
It is object of the present invention to provide a new design and construction for target plotting projectors which effectively overcomes all the defects and disadvantages of conventional devices of this type.
Other and further objects of the present invention will be obvious and apparent in the light of the detailed description and drawings setting forth a preferred embodi ment of the present invention which is especially useful for plotting in polar-coordinates.
It will be understood that for the purpose of adequate description and illustration, one preferred form of the present invention is set forth, without thereby limiting the scope of the invention except as the same be limited by the prior art and the scope of the appended claims.
The principles involved in the present invention are illustrated schematically and furthermore one preferred form thereof, is shown in the drawings in which:
Figures 1 and la illustrate, each, diagrammatically, a top-plan view and a front elevational view in cross section, of one preferred form of the present invention; its operation, function and use, when incorporated into a conventional target plotting table.
Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5, represent schematic top-plan views and Fi ures 2a, 3a, 4a and 5a, represent frontelevational views corresponding to these schematic topplan views, illustrating the movement of the target plot: ting projector components the relative positions and interrelation between these components, for meeting the various conditions as prescribed by the target data furnished.
Referring now solely to Figures 2, 2a; 3, 3a; 4, 4a; 5 and 5a, it will be seen that for the purpose of indicating both the range and the bearing of an object the projection lens 60 moves while the point light source 61, the projected image of which represents the target remains fixed and alternatively as in Figures 4, 4a, 5, 5a, the light source moves while the projection lens till remains fixed.
With specific reference to Figures 2 and 2a, it will be noted that the projection lens 66 is in a position in which the light source of lies on the optical axis, the intersection of the optical axis, in this position with the projection plane defines the zero point P0 on the projection plane.
With particular reference to Figure 2a, note that in order to represent a certain range R, the lens 6%} is moved parallel to the projection plane to occupy the position 6dr, to project the target 61 by means of the light ray (:1) on the projection plane as target image 611. In order to represent the bearing beta (B), which represents the angle between a set reference line N-S and the range R (note particularly Figure 2), the lens 65? is moved from position 692* by angular rotation around the axis 0-li, and the position 61 into the proper position 6th to indicate both the ran e and the bearing for a target plotted.
Having reference to Figures 3 3a, it will be noted that the basic principle underlying the illustrated function in 3 3a is similar to the function illustrated in Figures 2 and 2a to the extent that the proper projection is accomplished by the movement of the projection lens as with respect to the fixed light source 61. Whereas in Figures 2 and 2a the target position is such that the normal from the light source 61 to the projector plane P--P (hereinafter called the light source axis) coincides with the optical axis in the zero position of lens Po, the intersection of the light source axis l-l in Figures 3 and 3:: does not coincide with the zero point P0 on the projection plane P -P. Accordingly, to project the target 61 into the zero point Po, the lens 60 occupies a position where its axis x--x (hereinafter referred to as the axis of rotation) is parallel to but not identical with the light source axis [-4. The traget 6?. is projected by light ray a in the zero point. The lateral 2' between the parallel axis xx and Z-Z constitutes the correction for parallax which is caused by the eccentric position of the projector with respect to the zero point P0. In order to represent a range, the lens 69 is moved in a plane parallel to the projection plane into the position 601', its optical axis is thus represented by the line x'-x'. The target is imaged by ray (a) in the projection plane P-P, at Mr.
In order to project the target 61 into its final position 61b, the lens at position 61); is rotated around the axis of rotation x 2: through angle alpha (or) into position 60b.
In Figures 4, 4a, and 5a, conditions corresponding to the conditions respectively illustrated in Figures 2, 2a, and 3, 3a, are shown except that in Figures 4, 4a, 5, 5a, the lens so remains fixed and the light source 6.1. is being moved, whereas in Figures 2, 2a, 3 and 3a, the lens 6%) is moved and the light source 61 remains fixedv Having now reference to Figures 1 and 1a, the target plotting projector 86 consists in combination of the main housing 69, the motor 62b and the differential motor 62w, associated therewith. The pin-point light source 61 is positioned in the main housing 69 by means of a removable smaller housing as which retains the bulb socket 65 connected to the wire 67 and which is adjustable by means of screws 68h, 68h, 68h" horizontally and by means of screw 68v vertically. The intermediate housing 76 is provided at the top thereof with parallel rods 72 upon which the lens retaining holder moves, being held in position by the springs '73 against the cam opening 71s and containing the projection lens so. The electric motors 62b and Mr connected to the gear box 53b and 63r, respectively, transmit by means of gears 641' and 64b, respectively a rotational motion to the inner housing '75 through gear 70a and to the intermediate housing 70 through gear 711:. The movement of inner housing 75 rotates the cam '71 for the range indicated and the housing 70 for the purpose of a bearing indication. The cam 71 is provided with the opening '71s so shaped as to establish a linear relationship between the motion of the lens 60 upon the rods 72 which also correspond in a linear relation to the rotational motion of housing "in caused by motor 62;. The movement or" the bearing rotation and the range movement can be performed concurrently by means of this mechanism. When the cam 71 actuates the lens retaining means 74 to move on the rods 72 at the same time the unit of the housing re may be rotated to the extent desired.

Game of Thrones' actor Kristian Nairn, who plays fan-favorite Hodor, has revealed he is gay.
In an interview with Winteriscoming.net, Nairn revealed he was gay, but explained he wasn't hiding that information, it's just that no one has ever asked him. "I've been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview, cos it's not something you just blurt out." He noted he's "tried to lead the questions a few times, to no avail!"
Nairn revealed his sexuality after being asked if he was aware of his popularity within the gay community as a "bear." The actor simply noted, "Well, in all honesty, when you talk about "the gay community," you are talking about MY community." He then added he did know about the interest.
The Irish actor took to Twitter after the interview was published and wrote about being amused over the headlines saying, "Yeah it's weird to see 'comes out' ... I was never in !!"
According to E! News, Nairn wasn't worried about parents getting upset about a gay actor being around their kids, explaining that it's something that hasn't been a problem the whole time he has been on the show.
Nairn's character Hodor has been a popular character among fans of GoT as his character only ever says his name and carries around Bran Stark, who is unable to walk on his own.


The Delhi High Court has issued notice in a contempt petition filed in connection with its direction to ban the online sale of medicines through e-pharmacies..Notice has been issued to the Centre, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, and the Drugs Controller, Delhi. E-pharmacies and online merchants like IMG Technologies, 91 Streets Media Technologies, Corner Store Technologies and Dunzo Digital have also been served..The matter was listed for hearing before a Division Bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice Anup J Bhambhani..The Court had in December last year directed the Central government and the Delhi government to restrain the online sale of medicines by e-pharmacies, as the same is not permitted under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the Pharmacy Act, 1948. .The order was passed in a petition moved by one Dr. Zaheer Khan. The petition filed through advocates Nakul Mohta and Misha Rohatgi Mohta claimed that lakhs of medicines are being sold online through e-pharmacies, in spite of a direction of the Drug Controller General of India to the State Drug Controllers, “to put a strict vigil on online sale of medicines in violation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules thereunder, to protect the interest of public health.”.In the contempt petition, the petitioner has contended that due to the callous and negligent attitude of the Central Government and Drug Controller, Delhi, the contemnor e-pharmacies, as well as other similarly situated online medicine sellers, continued selling medicines online..The e-pharmcies are still not only advertising, but also running their website/phone applications to sell medicines, the petition alleges..The petition thus contends that the respondents have failed to take any steps to prohibit the illegal online sale of medicines, in spite of being aware of their existence. This, it is contended, is in defiance of the order passed by the Court..“The blatant and wilful disobedience of clear directions passed by the Division Bench of this Hon’ble Court is an act of gross contempt. It diminishes the majesty of Court and is also putting public health at great risk.“.The matter will be heard on May 9, on which date the main petition is listed for further hearing.
