**Purchase a PRO Simple Wheel**
I wanted to say, I *love* my wheel.
I'm kind of addicted to it.
It's really a work of art, and without a doubt, the best toy I've ever owned.
Harold Todd Moeller01/01/2010
Hey Hugo! A friend of mine who is practicing cyr as well..Charlie Adams..bought some skins from you to reskin her wheel! I was curious..I bought my wheel from Valerie Laplante Bilidenou's(i spelled that wrong) Dad! Do you know her? Her dad makes wheels..well had I checked out yours sooner i would have bought one from you..you are a little more reasonably priced-and people love your product..
As a side note I would like to add that I've tried both wheels made by you and Daniel Cyr, and I have to say, when it comes down to it, there's really no contest.
Thank you for your time and work, keep it up...

"We are social beings. We live and learn in the company of others... the ability to work with others is critical to the strength of communities and to meeting the challenges we collectively face." Ken Robinson
The vast majority of games involve players competing against each other. Puzzles, on the other hand, allow participants to work in a team to find the solution together. They are working together to find a common goal.
So what does a team need for good teamwork?
1. Teamwork = the whole team
Effective teamwork, as obvious as it may sound, requires first and foremost the participants to see themselves as a team and understand what it means to be a team.
For some this will mean making sure that they are letting others participate and that they're not leaving anyone out by being too bossy and dominating. They will need to make sure that they are taking turns and sharing resources.
For others this will mean making sure that they are joining in and not just being an observer. They will need to assert themselves and contribute to the team effort.
Teams are often made up of lots of different personalities which brings us on to point 2...
2. Being able to work together effectively
This means putting personal differences aside for the sake of the task at hand. Not arguing and blaming each other if something goes wrong. Children and adults alike need to be able to work with people that they haven't necessarily chosen to work with and that they might not be close friends with.
Good teams will include encouragement, humour, and compromise to create a fun environment. Good teams don't have to agree on every single thing but they will also know not to hurt each others feelings.
3. sharing ideas
One of the most crucial things for good teamwork is listening to everyone's ideas. Recognizing that everyone has something to contribute. People approach things in different ways with different perspectives. Good teams also need to plan and consider what their strategy is before they dive straight in.

Series: BioLogos Basics (8 entries)
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, “theory” means something like “guess” or “hunch”. In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
How Science Shook My Faith
Sometimes when I am studying evolution, I take a step back and worship my Lord because I am so in awe.
Discovering the Beauty of God’s Evolving Creation: My Story
A college student raised as a young-earth creationist shares his story of coming to understand and appreciate God's evolving creation.
The Changing Face of Evolutionary Theory?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
What makes BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design?
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Series: Adam, Eve, and Human Population Genetics (15 entries)
From the Archives: Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Confessions of a Failed Young-Earth Creationist
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Growing Up Evangelical: My Story of Making Peace With Evolution
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Ken Ham, We Need a Better Conversation (Perhaps Over Dinner?)
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham’s recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
Why Evolution Debates Don’t Matter
The 1930 showdown between evolutionist Schmucker and creationist Rimmer generated a lot of heat but shed very little light on the real issues behind the debate.
The Evolution of a Southern Baptist
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Reviewing “Darwin’s Doubt” (11 entries)
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Ken Ham and Biblical Authority
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
Ham on Nye – What to Watch for
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don’t think you have to choose sides.

David Gessner was car-camping in the American West when he picked up Edward Abbey’s classic book, Desert Solitaire. It changed his life. Later, after being diagnosed with cancer, he moved to Colorado, and discovered the work of another iconic writer of the American West, Wallace Stegner.
For his new book, All The Wild That Remains, Gessner sets off in search of these two writer-environmentalists, traveling from Stegner’s birthplace in Saskatchewan, Canada, to Arches National Park in Utah, which inspired some of Edward Abbey finest writing.
From his home in Massachusetts, he explains what drew him to these two, very different writers; how Ken Kesey discovered LSD in a CIA experiment; how fracking is part of a long history of boom and bust in the West; and why it is so important to preserve the remaining wild places.
Your book is the story of a 9,000-mile journey into the West. It is also a pilgrimage in the footsteps of two writers, little known in America today, and still less outside it. What made you decide to disinter them?
I grew up in Massachusetts and when I was about 28, I was camping out West. Desert Solitaire by Ed Abbey was for sale and at the Park Service, so I picked it up. I was car camping;. The challenge from Abbey was: don’t car camp, do more. The next thing I knew, for the first time in my life I went backcountry camping in Lassen Volcanic National Park and I thought, “Hey, that’s a pretty direct, literary influence....

We’re not sure about the Xbox 360 version yet, and it doesn’t appear that the PC version will come with any extra functionality to it, but the Playstation 3 version of one of the most cult-classic-great games we’ve ever played will be coming with both Mac and PC versions attached. This PS3 version of the game comes with full Steam integration which will allow you to continue the game wherever you left of no matter which platform you decide to bring your Portal 2 Blu-Ray disk to.
Sony and Valve (creators of Portal and now Portal 2) have collaborated on this version to bring the gamer what they consider to be one fabulous game. Gabe Newell, cofounder and president of Valve notes: “We made a promise to gamers at E3 that Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 would be the best console version of the product. Working together with Sony we have identified a set of features we believe are very compelling to gamers. We hope to expand upon the foundation being laid in Portal 2 with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases.”
In addition to instant game saves vis Steam for cross-platform play, players Steam friends will be visible and accessible for game invites and chat. This is all in one package, and the game already looks utterly fantastic, if I do say so myself. Take a peek at a trailer or two below. Portal 2 will be coming out on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 in April 2011.
Also I’d be remiss in posting about Portal if I did so without making sure everyone heard the closing credits song as sung by the writer, Jonathan Coulton. Behold a masterpiece. I hope he’s involved in number 2.

Controlled since 2015 by Värde, Goldman Sachs and the Bank of America, among other shareholders, currently the company will be valued between €200 and €250 million. And the latest news indicate that Habitat will be able to announce the winner of the sale process in a few days, so that the transaction may be completed before the end of the year.
Irea is the company mandated by Habitat to guide the sale process, and it will also elect the best proposal to present to shareholders, according to the newspaper El Confidencial.
A successor of Ferrovial Inmobiliaria, for which it paid €2,200 million in 2006, in 2008 the Catalan developer was one of the great casualties of the real estate crisis that broke out in Spain, and presented the fourth largest creditors' competition in the country's history, with an approximate debt of €2,800 million.
In 2015, and after leaving the competition five years earlier, the real estate was controlled by a group of international funds that now concentrate 70% of the capital. Whoever buys the company will also earn one of the assets portfolio that includes one of the largest finalist land grants in Spain, valued at around €240 million, as well as other assets in Portugal and Hungary, where Habitat is also present.

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon! I don't even own the laptop I write this fics on! Wow, no wonder I'm so depressed…
Warnings: Pretty angsty…downright depressing actually. I don't know what got into me! :Looks at above disclaimer: Oh, right.
Welcome to My Life
A boy sat forlornly staring at his laptop. He felt…well, he wasn't quite sure what he was feeling. This was not a foreign emotion for him, as he knew it quite well. It had frequently visited him over the years of his short life. Some might call it depression. Some might call it apathy. He called it familiar.
Now don't be mistaken. The boy prided himself on his optimism. He always saw the glass half-full. Just rarely applied to his own situations, more applied to everyone else. Oh he liked to be happy, no doubt about that. But sometimes he craved the darkness that sometimes surrounded him. Optimism took a lot of work. It was hard to face every downfall with a smile because, let's face it, he had a lot to frown about. Even at its best, life was full of doubts. When he was surrounded by friends, he still felt lonely. Always on guard, wondering just how much these people liked him or how much was them putting up with him. He only had one friend he could call a best friend and be 100 sure about it. Sure, others he considered his best friends, but wasn't always sure that feeling was reciprocated.
And then of course life had its financial problems. He attended a private university and that was expensive. He didn't exactly have the richest of backgrounds either. His father was single-handedly supporting two college students. And scholarships only went so far.
And let's not even get started on the joke called romance. The only girlfriend he had had was two years ago, and that hadn't been the least bit successful. Currently, his love life was in the negative range. And he really hadn't heard of any girl liking him, and didn't see that possibility occurring anytime too soon. Of course he had some glimmer of hope, but oftentimes that hurt more than it didn't.
Yes, it was all too easy to succumb to the shadows of his life. Sometimes wishing for the high school years, when darkness had enveloped his very being, and death was always just around the corner. He was scared of that place. It scared him to think of the thoughts that had passed through his head repeatedly over the years. The useless tears he had shed that could have filled their own ocean. A place so dark no one could reach him. It was frightening, but comfortable all the same. Because once beyond that initial grief, apathy took over. Though, not quite apathy, for there was still a touch of emotion that would frequently visit to remind him he was alive. And once in that place, the comfort of familiarity was there. This he could handle. Here, no outside world threatened him for he did not care. If he could discover how to remain in this place and maintain good grades, he would never come out.
Of course there was the problem of suicidal thoughts, but that was all they were: thoughts. He had never actually gone through with it. Never even landed himself in the hospital. And he was such a good actor. In the deepest moments of his depression, he could hide all emotion. It was no wonder no one had ever noted his problem. Was he psychologically ill? Probably. Would he get help? Not likely. He was content to let his world continue to spin out of his control, unceremoniously dumping him wherever and whenever it pleased.
Yes, apathy was good. And that was what he yearned for now. Whenever he slipped into these moods in which he knew not what he felt, it was that apathy he reached for, his security blanket. But lately it was always just out of reach. Because he had convinced himself that it wasn't healthy and it wasn't good. He had told his friends of his little "problem". Not that he actually thought they took it seriously, but once in a while when he was in a mood they would ask, as if they were concerned. And when that mood slipped farther, he would debate and debate until he finally convinced himself to go talk to someone. It was so frustrating. He couldn't get to that place of apathy without passing through depression first. It was a process and he couldn't skip the steps, try as he might. And if he kept running to his friends every time he cried for no reason, or walked the path of dark thoughts, he was that much farther from his blanket. And it upset him to say the least.
So now he was forced to live in a confused state of being for the past few months. He was never really sure what his state of mind was, not really sure what he was feeling at any particular time. He had his moments of cheerfulness, and his bouts of depressiveness, but they rarely lasted very long. And even though he tried to keep his face and mind optimistic, it was never completely sincere, and the effort it took to keep this up was taking its toll. If there was anything he hated worse than not feeling anything, it was feeling too many things.
He would often find himself looking at those that chose the uncaring road with envy. If he could just throw away the world he had built around himself he would gladly follow them. But alas, as much as he liked to think of himself as independent, and not needing anybody, he craved attention. It was like a perverse addiction. He could not be left out of any joke, and he had to be there when anything exciting happened. Of course these things often happened, which only further dampened his mood. And when one builds a world out of that craving for attention, it is not easy to tear it down and rebuild. He had already erased much of his past and started over. It would be too hard to do so again so soon. Especially since he knew the new world would not lead him to a successful future.
And that's really what it came down to. Either give in to the darkness or take the path of success. He didn't want to follow his mother's footsteps. Shortly after his parents divorce, his mother was living in a bad neighborhood, working but not enough to pay the rent, a smoker and probably alcoholic, with the knowledge that she could have done so much better. He certainly wasn't going to live like that. If he was going to be unhappy, he would at least be so in comfort. And he had already given up too many dreams. Actor, singer, writer, artist. All these he could have been, and yet too much of a realist and too afraid of failure to actually follow such dreams. Dreams that were meant for him to pursue, but left on the side of the road, constantly biting at his ankles. So he would continue to keep himself above the black pool of depression because he had to. All he had left of his dreams was to become someone who worked in the business arena, successful because of his persuasive skills. He would sing along with the radio, continue to write but never publish, write songs that would never be recorded, dance when no one was watching, and put on an act from the moment he awoke to the moment he slept. Perhaps he could meet his dreams halfway, for there was no chance of forgetting them. And perhaps, perhaps out there was the person of his dreams. After all, the world was his stage, and Daisuke just happened to be the best actor God had created.
Hehe. I always put Daisuke through the worst. I'm so sorry!
And now he's not talking to me! Oh well. I could think of a few different directions this story could take. So you decide. Should I continue, or leave it as is. Leave a review and let me know!

Figure 11-18. - Comparison of high-traction differential gears and standard differential gears.
that have fewer teeth and a different tooth form from the conventional gears. Figure 11-18 shows a comparison between these and standard gears. These differential pinions and side gears depend on a variable radius from the center of the differential pinion to the point where it comes in contact with the side gear teeth, which is, in effect, a variable lever arm. As long as there is relative motion between the pinions and side gears, the torque is unevenly divided between the two driving shafts and wheels; whereas, with the usual differential, the torque is evenly divided at all times. With the high-traction differential, the torque becomes greater on one wheel and less on the other as the pinions move around until both wheels start to rotate at the same speed. When this occurs, the relative motion between the pinion and side gears stops, and the torque on each wheel is again equal. This device assists considerably in starting the vehicle or keeping it rolling in cases where one wheel encounters a slippery spot and loses traction while the other wheel is on a firm spot and has traction. It will not work, however, when one wheel loses traction completely. In this respect, it is inferior to the differential lock.
With the non-spin differential (fig. 11- 19), one wheel cannot spin because of loss of tractive effort and thereby deprive the other wheel of driving effort; for

Deoki Nandan, J.
1. In this First Appeal which arises from a decree for divorce passed by the court of 1st Additional District Judge, Allahabad, under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the parties were asked to personally appear in Court in order to enable me to bring about a settlement between the two. They appeared in Court yesterday and a settlement was arrived at between them, pursuant to which an application for compromise was filed. The compromise application was sent down to the Registrar for verification. It appears from the endorsement on the back of the first page of the compromise application that the respondent-husband stated before the Registrar that 'the children would remain with him, though the terms of the compromise say otherwise'. I questioned the husband today before me. He said that he had no objection to the children, who were a daughter aged 9 years and a son 7 years, continuing to remain with the wife even after the divorce, but he expressed his apprehensions about the liability to pay the expenses of the maintenance of the children. On this, it was explained to him that though under the terms of the compromise he could no longer be liable to pay anything for tke maintenance of the wife, he could, if demanded by the children, be required to pay for their maintenance in accordance with law. Having understood this position, the husband ultimately stated that he had no objection to the children continuing to remain in the custody of the wife.
2. Now the question is whether the compromise should be accepted and the matter decided in terms thereof. The petition for divorce was filed by the husband on three grounds, namely, adultery, cruelty and desertion against the wife. The wife had, on the other hand, made counter-allegations against the husband. The trial court found in favour of the husband on all the three points and dissolved the marriage by a decree of divorce. The wife is the appellant. When asked by the Court as to what she wanted to be done in the matter, she stated plainly that she herself did not want to live with the man and wanted divorce. All that she was aggrieved from were the findings recorded against her by the trial court. On this the husband was prepared not to press the allegations provided the decree for divorce was not disturbed and the wife, on her part, withdrew the allegations made by her against him. The result is that both the parties are agreed that the marriage between them should be dissolved. There does not appear to be any collusion between them. The policy of the law having undergone a change after the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Act, 1976, it is possible now to dissolve a marriage by agreement between the parties although none of the grounds, on which a marriage may be dissolved by a court, be found to exist. It cannot, therefore, be said that the compromise is in any manner unlawful. Being thus satisfied that the parties have adjusted the dispute between them by a lawful compromise, I order that the compromise be recorded and the appeal be dismissed.
3. The result is that the decree for divorce, dissolving the marriage between the parties, shall stand confirmed.
4. The appeal is dismissed. There will be no order as to costs.
5. The compromise application shall form part of the decree of this Court.

Unpaid leave figure drops
The number of employees on unpaid leave has dropped by 40 percent to 1,429 in the past two weeks, statistics from the Council of Labor Affairs showed yesterday. As of Sunday, 2,172 workers from 38 companies had reached an agreement with their employers to take unpaid leave, with 1,429 already on a furlough, statistics showed. The numbers were lower than the Nov. 30 figures, when 2,386 workers at 41 companies had agreed to unpaid leave, while 2,366 were already on a furlough. The latest number of workers on furlough is the lowest since Aug. 15, when 663 people were on unpaid leave, the council’s data showed.
Fund to back startups
The government’s National Development Fund plans to allocate NT$100 million (US$3.3 million) over five years to back local startups. Under the program, approved by the Council for Economic Planning and Development yesterday, grants are to be provided to companies that are less than three years old and new businesses that are being established, according to officials. Individual or companies will be able to apply for up to 40 percent of their overall operating costs or NT$10 million, whichever is less. Each recipient will be required to pay back the grant sometime between the third and seventh year after receiving it.


US: The Chicago City Council has approved an ordinance placing greater restrictions on vacation and other short-term rentals.
The measure hopes to put a stop to rented “party houses” in the city.
The city of Chicago initially passed regulations limiting short-term rentals in 2016, categorising rentals between residential and vacation rentals. These added registration requirements and fees for operators.
New regulations include a prohibition against renting a vacation property for only one night and will require owners to register with the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP). It will charge owners a registration fee and will charge companies a tiered licensing fee.
Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot said in a statement: “The city is not only ensuring customers have the transparency they need but also making it easier for small operators to become licensed in our city. By enhancing the city’s enforcement powers against bad actors and increasing regulatory oversight through BACP, we can further ensure this new and innovative industry remains safe for all of Chicago’s residents.”
Restricted residential zones will also be expanded under the new ordinance, allowing voters to restrict or ban rentals in certain areas. The BACP will be given more power over shutting down parties.
The registration fee will cost $125 and will be charged one time against the hosts. Licensing fees range from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on a company’s total number of listed rentals.
Rosa Escareño, BACP commissioner, told Patch Chicago: “Over the last four years, we have worked tirelessly to oversee the evolving shared housing industry within the limits of the existing regulations. This ordinance will modernise the process, improve host registrations and enhance the city’s ability to hold problem actors accountable while preserving the innovation that is critical to this industry.”
Due to the pandemic, Chicago saw a significant decline in rental rates, with occupancy rising in nearby driveable destinations. Rentals in the city are outperforming hotels, however, as travellers hope to avoid crowded areas.
The release claims that the city has 8,869 registered shared housing units offered via Airbnb and HomeAway. The new enforcement ordinances will go into place on 17th October.

“The position that Richardson will hold was created in 2000 to further COSAM’s commitment to a diverse educational environment and was previously held by Overtoun Jenda, now associate provost,” said COSAM dean Stewart Schneller. “In his role in this position, Dr. Jenda laid a solid foundation for the college’s mission in this area.”
In addition to her faculty position at Tuskegee University, Richardson also served as program director for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Undergraduate Biological Sciences Education Program, where she provided leadership and oversight in strengthening minority participation in biomedical and related sciences.
Richardson earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology from Tuskegee University. In 1978 she began studies at AU as one of the first National Institutes of Health/Minority Access to Research Careers Predoctoral Fellows. Four years later, she became the first African-American female to receive a doctoral degree in zoology from Auburn.
Schneller said Richardson would combine her talents in classroom instruction and laboratory research, highly regarded at Tuskegee University, with her commitment to mentoring to provide COSAM with meaningful leadership for one of the cornerstones of its mission.
Richardson has been involved in science education reform for more than 20 years, during which time she led efforts to reform the science curriculum and worked to upgrade instructional infrastructure. She also worked to increase undergraduate recruitment and retention and undergraduate access to the research laboratory.
“I am particularly interested in exploring ways to get the students into the labs and giving them access to the research culture as soon as possible,” said Richardson. “I plan to develop and employ early intervention strategies, like accessibility to research, to aid in the retention of our students.”
“I am excited that the Summer Bridge program is happening in my first two weeks here at Auburn,” said Richardson. “I can’t wait to see the students and begin working with them immediately as they take their first steps in the transition from high school to college. The program is a perfect continuation and expansion of the work I have been doing over the last 10 years.”
Richardson said in addition to working with students, she is interested in fostering diversity among COSAM faculty. “I look forward to working with the various department heads to identify, recruit and retain minority faculty,” she said. “Diversity is a strength, a core value, for the faculty, the students, everyone involved, and provides new ideas and ways of doing things. I think we are all enriched by different points of view.”

The new entry-level performance superbike's design is now based on the award-winning Hyosung GT650R, it's been given a power boost, has a top speed of over 100 mph and its onboard battery is said to be good for 75 miles before needing some charging attention.
Roehr Motorcycles, producers of the American-built 180 bhp 1250sc sportbike, is to introduce two electric motorcycles before mid-year, topped by a 96 bhp motorcycle with race level performance, 210 lb/ft of torque, and premium suspension and brake components which it has dubbed the eSuperbike. Significantly, even a lower spec eSupersport model with 48 bhp, 105 lb/ft of torque will top 100 mph. No details have yet been announced on the range of the bikes, but viable electric sports motorcycles are clearly going to be available before the end of the year.

Chesapeake Energy posted a 40 percent decline in fourth-quarter net income with the glut of natural gas continuing to subdue prices, but the company easily beat Wall Street expectations and its shares edged higher.
Natural gas accounted for 77 percent of its production in the fourth quarter, down from 82 percent a year earlier as it shifts production because of falling prices. It collected $2.07 per thousand cubic feet in the most recent quarter, down from $3.87 a year ago. Those prices include the impact of settled bets on the direction of natural gas prices.
Chesapeake predicted that 2013 production would be about flat with 2012, once planned asset sales are factored in.
The company earned $257 million, or 39 cents per share, for the quarter that ended Dec. 31. That was down from $429 million, or 63 cents per share, during the same period last year.
Revenue rose almost 30 percent to $3.54 billion, from $2.73 billion a year earlier.
Not counting one-time items, it would have earned $153 million, or 26 cents per share.
Wall Street had been looking for per-share earnings of 14 cents, according to analysts surveyed by FactSet, on revenue of $2.99 billion.
For all of 2012, it posted a net loss of $940 million, or $1.46 per share, because of a big charge to write down the value of its natural gas-producing property. In 2011 it earned $1.57 billion, or $2.32 per share.
Those values can shift from year to year, and would rise with the price of natural gas.
Revenue rose 5.9 percent to $12.32 billion.
The results came a day after Chesapeake’s board said an investigation into outgoing CEO Aubrey McClendon’s personal financing deals with company partners found “no intentional misconduct” by McClendon or any other company managers.
Last spring Reuters reported that McClendon received loans of $1.4 billion from an investment firm called EIG Global Energy Partners that was negotiating a separate oil and gas deal with Chesapeake.
The probe found that the deals did not improperly benefit McClendon or increase costs to Chesapeake.
McClendon, who founded Chesapeake Energy Corp. in 1989 and saw it become the second largest natural gas producer in the U.S., was stripped of his role as board chairman in May.
Last month Chesapeake said McClendon would leave the company in April amid philosophical differences.

Recap of His Free Gift of Righteousness
I refuse to be ashamed of sharing the wonderful message of God’s liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere! This gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe.y And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says:
“We are right with God through life-giving faith!”
Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s righteousness to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes. This means we can now enjoy true and lasting peace. with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, has done for us. Our faith guarantees us access into this marvelous kindness that has given us a perfect relationship with God. What incredible joy bursts forth within us as we keep on celebrating our hope of experiencing God’s glory!
But now, independently of the law, the righteousness of God is tangible and brought to light through Jesus, the Anointed One. This is the righteousness that the Scriptures prophesied would come.q It is God’s righteousness made visible through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.r And now all who believe in him receive that gift. For there is really no difference between us, for we all have sinned and are in need of the glory of God. Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His gifts of love and favor now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!
He did something so spectacular that all it takes is your faith and His righteousness is given to you.
His Love is amazing!!
21-22Even though you were once distant from him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, he reconnected you back to himself. He released his supernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of his own body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in his presence. And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for he sees you as holy, flawless, and restored!
The Love he gave is a big deal. I mean about the rejection, the constant wanting to be killed but loving anyway, think about it, the very people who wanted him crucified, the ones who spit on him and beat him were the ones he was going to the cross to save and wipe away their sins.
Love covers a multitude of sins.
1 Cor 13

Government and DIF Tamaulipas continue to support the families who need it most.
10 2021 February
Ocampo, Tamaulipas.- When presiding over a new service session "A Government Close to You" in the municipality of Ocampo, Governor Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca He said that thanks to these types of programs, the Tamaulipas DIF System ranks as the best-evaluated social assistance agency in the country.
«There are communities and municipalities in which we have to redouble our efforts, that is why I thank my wife Mariana and DIF Tamaulipas for supporting the people who need it most. For this reason, the National DIF placed the Tamaulipas DIF and its work team in the first place in programs for the benefit of the people. Tamaulipas pride in all these programs that are being implemented, ”the president acknowledged.
This model of social assistance is promoted by the head of the State DIF, Mariana Gómez de García Cabeza de Vaca, to bring education, health and administrative procedures totally free to the families that need it most, in order to improve the quality of life of Tamaulipas who live in areas with a high degree of marginalization.
In the current administration, the State Government and the State DIF have carried out more than 252 social services conferences, among which are assistance brigades, oral health weeks, service fair, medical brigades, Cinépolis route, brigades with the Secretariat of the National Defense (SEDENA) and COVID-19 brigades.
The Un Gobierno Cerca de Ti service days have been taken to 43 municipalities, with Tamaulipas families agreeing to educational scholarships, functional devices, equipment for school breakfast bars, productive support for self-employment, birth certificates, sports equipment, legal advice, assistance social and medical, among other services.
The program Un Gobierno Cerca de Ti of the Tamaulipas DIF, has been worthy of the recognition of the National DIF, work and vision of Mrs. Mariana Gómez de García Cabeza de Vaca for implementing a program where, through social assistance brigades, the most vulnerable are served.
Governor Garcia Cabeza de Vaca, accompanied by the Mayor of Ocampo José de Jesús Ávalos and Federal Deputy Vicente Verástegui Ostos, also supervised various works carried out in the municipality, among which the construction of a bridge over the Santa Bárbara River and a package of pavements to improve the urban image of the town.

Hungry to start their second-round campaign on a high note, the De La Salle University Green Spikers avenged their loss to the University of Santo Tomas Tiger Spikers, 27-25, 25-22, 22-25, 25-23, at the Ynares Sports Arena.
First-year La Salle head coach Arnold Laniog admitted that their first-round loss to the Tiger Spikers was a big motivation for the way they played.
“Siguro, sa lahat ng mga talo namin noon first round, sa UST talaga kami nadurog. Straight sets ‘yun. ‘Yung iba naming talo, lumaban naman kami,” said Laniog.
“Medyo hindi rin maganda ‘yung momentum ng UST, kaya sabi ko sa mga player namin na take advantage na namin ‘to habang binibigyan kami ng break,” the NCAA champion coach added.
The Green Spikers got off to a terrific start, thanks to clutch scores from Cris Dumago and Paul Serrano. The fourth set came down to a similar scenario, with La Salle needing clutch conversions from Billie Anima and JD Delos Reyes.
Dumago finished with 18 points while Anima added 12.
Josh Umandal returned from a one-game absence, playing three sets and scoring a game-high 21 points. Manuel Medina tallied 14 markers.
La Salle (3-5) take on the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles (6-2) on Wednesday at the FilOil Flying V Centre. On the other hand, UST (3-5) try to end their skid against the Far Eastern University Tamaraws (7-1) next Sunday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
DLSU (3) – Dumago 18, Anima 12, Bacon 10, Delos Reyes 10, Marco 4, Aquio 2, Reyes 2, De Jesus 1, Serrano 1, Balanong 0, Inocentes 0, Macaspac (L)
UST (1) – Umandal 21, Medina 14, Sumagaysay 10, Corda 4, Requinton 3, Tajanlangit J. 3, Valenzuela 3, Tajanlangit T. 2, Buro 0, Casillan 0, Mendiolla (L), Sawal (L)

Get A Flawless Dutch Fishtail Low Bun With This Tutorial
Photo: missysueblog on Instagram
Whether you’re heading out to a cocktail party or simply looking for a new and creative way to style your locks, variations on the classic fishtail braid are a perfect solution for Spring 2016. If you’re tired of long, wispy tresses trailing down your back, this flawless and sophisticated hairstyle can instantly refresh your springtime beauty look. Here’s how to master a Dutch fishtail low bun in just a few simple steps.
1) Start by brushing back your locks and pinning back the top part of your hair: To launch your hairstyle, start by using a paddle brush to smooth your locks. Next, take a section of sleek and tangle-free hair from on top of your head, and pin these locks into place with bobby pins. Create slight volume with a subtle hair bump, and then take a thin, surrounding segment of hair from one side of your head.
2) Braid this section into a skinny plait which falls diagonally across the back of your head: To continue crafting your easy hairstyle, continue braiding your hair. Create a thick fishtail braid across the back of your head in a diagonal formation. Next, knot your new fishtail side braid with a hair elastic and use a series of bobby pins to keep the sections of your plait under control. To adjust your strands, use your fingers to loosen the braided segments and create a thick pancaked effect.
3) Carefully roll your pancaked braid into a low updo: For a finishing touch, wrap your braided locks into a low bun right above the nape of your neck. Fix your updo in place with bobby pins, and be sure to use extra pins to secure longer or thicker locks.

A former police constable has avoided jail after admitting making indecent images of children.
Dominick Akinlade, 37, a former police officer working in Merton, appeared at Southwark Crown Court today having admitted to five counts of making indecent images of children at a previous hearing.
Akinlade was found to be in possession of a number of indecent images of children on his home computer which he had downloaded from the internet - an offence which constitutes ‘making’ images under the Protection of Children Act.
He resigned from the MPS in October last year after his arrest.
None of the images were on MPS computers.
The judge handed Akinlade a six month jail sentence but opted to suspend it for two years.

The Association of Polar Early Career Scientist has a long tradition in organizing events and activities for early career researchers (ECRs) at major scientific conferences and events. In this event, the National Committee (NC) of Colombia continues the line of polar networking between Latin American countries, in collaboration with some researchers that visualized the polar work during the first APECS Iberoamerican Online Conference 2019 in Spanish. Our aim was to show APECS to the Colombian Antarctic human sciences researchers community, come together Early Career Researchers (ECR’s) and establish the bases for future networking and professional relationships.
As part of the I Feria Antártica 2019, the NC APECS Colombia, organized a fascinating talk on Wednesday 30 October from 16:20 to 16:50 (local time). It was open for ECRs members and non-members of the association, as well as more experienced researchers in the mood to increase our networking. A total of around 100 attendants joined to enjoy the evening together.
A brief introduction to the talk by Jhon Mojica-Moncada (in video) initiated the evening (see left photo © Comisión Colombiana del Océano). The presentation on APECS association, aims, activities, and challenges was given by Dalia Barragán-Barrera (see photo below © Comisión Colombiana del Océano). During her presentation, we highlighted the importance of involving Human Sciences in Colombian Antarctic Research, and we invited all attendees to be part of APECS as a great opportunity to increase polar network in multidisciplinary areas. Several students from history, geosciences and education showed interest in APECS. Similarly, researchers from Colombia congratulated the APECS initiative, and researchers from other countries such as Argentina and Chile offered support to conduct collaborative research.
During APECS talk, we showed parts of four oral presentations presented during the first APECS Iberoamerican Online Conference 2019. Attendees highlighted the educational initiatives presented in these talks, as an important tool to create a polar culture in Latin American countries. Talks presented were:
1) “Parásitos bajo cero, una carrera Antártica”, presented by Leyla Cárdenas Tavie (Chile), in which she presented a game to teach about Antarctic parasites in the school.
2) “La Antártida como vasto recurso didáctico – pedagógico en el aula de enseñanza media”, presented by Candice Pérez Morales (Uruguay), in which she presented educational Antarctic initiatives for mid-school children and blind children.
3) “El rol de Ushuaia en la política antártica argentina durante el siglo XX”, presented by Valeria Analia Trezza (Argentina), in which she presented the role of the austral Argentinian city Ushuaia in the Antarctic policy of that country during the XX century.
4) “Desafíos de la preservación in situ de los vestigios arqueológicos loberos-balleneros en las Islas Shetland del Sur (Antártica), presented by Gerusa de Alkmim Radicchi (Brasil), in which she presented the challenges and methodology to conserve the archeological-whalers vestiges in the South Shetland Islands in Antarctica.

Whenever we have a rare, free weekend Todd and I try to get out and explore cities nearby. One place that I’ve driven through, but not actually stopped to explore is Springfield, Missouri. Just a little over two hours away from Fayetteville, it made for a perfectly easy one-night getaway.
Hotel Vandidvort played host to our stay and was the highlight of our trip. I thought this would be a post more about our overall trip to Springfield, but I was really surprised at how much I fell in love with this hotel! A four-diamond boutique hotel, the property is situated right downtown so once we arrived, we parked (for free!) and didn’t need our car again until it was time to go home.
If you’ve followed my travel adventures, you’ve probably heard me say this, but I’m a self-admitted hotel snob. In a previous position at my company I was the Meeting Planner, so one of my jobs was to tour and stay at various hotels we were considering for our conventions. Tough job, right? Well, that experience, mixed with my recent travel blogging, has led me to some pretty amazing properties. But I’m not exaggerating when I say that Hotel Vandivort is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I love a boutique hotel, but I really appreciate attention to detail, which Hotel Vandivort really focuses on. From the local chocolates given at check-in, to the assortment of “do not disturb” signs, and the local selection of booze in the room honor bar, they thought of everything. Nickelodeon was even set to come on when we entered the room (along with the lights and glowing artwork) – all of which pretty much blew Iris’ mind.
The combo of the historic building, with modern but comfortable features made the experience feel luxurious, yet unique. I was so impressed with the hotel that on the way home I Googled the history. Opening just a couple years ago in 2015, it was already already named Boutique Hotel of the Year in 2016.
While I could go on and on about the hotel (oh and I will later on), we also explored downtown Springfield, so let’s get on to that! After we got out all of our “oohs and ahhs” at the hotel, we walked down the street to grab some lunch.
From there, we walked around the cute little city square. While Iris made wishes in the fountain, I snuck away to The Golden Girl Rum Club for a huge, fancy drink, watching her from the patio. You guys might recognize this spot, as one of the owners is from A Beautiful Mess blog.
After that, it was Todd’s turn for a drink so we walked over to Mother’s Brewing Company where they were having sort of a backyard Fourth of July party. We sat in the shade with a beer, heard some live music, and watched the locals do their thing. Getting closer to dinner dinner time, we made our way back to the hotel.
Before we ventured to dinner, we stopped to have a drink at the bar in the hotel where Iris had the fanciest Shirley Temple I’ve ever seen. Realizing we were still pretty full from lunch, we decided to plan ahead and walk the short distance over to Hurt’s Donuts so that we’d have dessert for later. Freshening up back at our hotel (and maybe sneaking a little bit of donut), we decided we loved the hotel so much that we wanted to try their restaurant too. Our meal at The Order was not only delicious, but beautifully presented. Before we headed back up to our room (and donuts) we of course had to stop by the bathrooms on the bottom floor to take a famous #hotelvandivortbathroomselfie. I didn’t realize this was a thing until I saw the tagged images on Instagram!
The next day we slept in (!!!), taking full advantage of the noon check-out time. If you are near the area, I would highly recommend taking an overnight trip just to stay at the hotel – but of course explore the area as well! I want to go back just to stay in one of their suites, which are actually pretty reasonably priced. How cozy would this one be in the winter with the indoor/outdoor fireplace? So… Who’s coming with?!
Byyyyeee Springfield! See ya soon!

Born Nov. 16, 1766, in Versailles; died Jan. 6, 1831, in Geneva. French violinist, composer, conductor, and teacher.
Kreutzer was a founder of the 19th-century French school of violin. He enjoyed world fame as a violinist. Beethoven valued his playing and dedicated the Violin Sonata Opus 47 to him (the Kreutzer Sonata). In 1795, Kreutzer became a professor at the Paris Conservatory; his pupils included the violinists C. Lafont and J. L. Massart. His collection Forty-two Etudes or Caprices for Violin is a classic work in pedagogic literature. He wrote violin studies (with P. Baillot and P. Rode, published in 1802) and composed violin concertos, operas, ballets, and chamber music.

Lancaster blanks RBM hockey team
Avenging a loss the week before, Lancaster downed the Roy-Hart/Barker/Medina Club hockey team 3-0 today at Depew.
The game was scoreless until 2:28 remaining in the second quarter when Lancaster scored two quick goals in a span of just a minute and a half. Lancaster’s final goal came on an empty netter with 1:24 remaining in the game.
Both teams tested the goaltenders on numerous occasions with Andrew Warner playing a stellar game in goal for RBM which also got great defensive play from Tom Paisley, Jason Kuchey, Colin Dodge and Reed Winslow from Roy-Hart as well as Jacob Harris from Barker.
RBM’s next outing is Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. in East Aurora for an outdoor game.

India's prime minister Narendra Modi, while addressing in his weekly radio program Mann Ki Baat Sunday, March 29, asked for forgiveness from people as the lockdown measures had hurt millions of poor. Daily wagers, coolies and construction workers who are mostly migrants started walking hundreds of kilometres to native places as they did not have jobs due to the coronavirus shutdown.
Modi announced on Tuesday evening that India would be locked down for 21 days, with only hours to prepare for the lockdown, many places got panic-stricken. Since a few days, thousands of workers were seen travelling by foot to their native villages as transport was stopped; some did not have food for days during the travel. In view of criticism that there was no planning done to cater the poorest, the PM had chosen to apologise.
No jobs, no shelter for migrants
Among India's 1.3 billion strong population, many became jobless and hungry. Last year, the country reportedly saw a 45-year high unemployment amid economic slowdown. The lockdown has added to these woes now.
In his address, Modi said that there was no other way to stop the rapid spread of the virus. The Wire reported that in prime minister's constituency, Varanasi, a group of children were seen sitting cross-legged and eating grass meant for cattle as fodder, out of desperation and hunger .
"Especially when I look at my poor brothers and sisters, I definitely feel that they must be thinking, what kind of prime minister is this who has placed us in this difficulty," said PM Modi. "I especially seek their forgiveness," he said adding that it was a battle of life and death.
All non-essential businesses got closed including a ban on public gatherings. One migrant worker died on Saturday after walking more than 250-km trying to reach his native village, a police official told Reuters.
India announced $22 billion stimulus plan for the country on Thursday, including free food and cash, but concerns were expressed that it might not reach those who need it the most.
Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics, wrote in a piece that more aid for the poor was urgently needed. "Without that, the demand crisis will snowball into an economic avalanche, and people will have no choice but to defy orders," they wrote.
India has reported more than 1,000 cases of coronavirus and 25 deaths as of Sunday. Testing rates in India have been abysmally low, and experts believe real cases of coronavirus may be far more than reported, resulting in a catastrophe.

The report publishing firm revealed that Elliot Management, prominently known as an activist investor demanded a strategic review to be conducted, which would eventually lead to more developments.

gingerbread cookies using an old recipe from Colonial Williamsburg. When I did living history for a national park, we would often make either the cookies or gingerbread in the fireplace of an historic cabin on the site. It was a lot of fun and the taste just couldn't be beat - particularly on cool Autumn afternoons when the park was quiet and we could sit down at the table and enjoy the fruits of our labor while playing Farkle, Cribbage, or Whist.
For years I've made this recipe and people always want to know what ingredient it is that gives it a little extra something. Well, when we would cook gingerbread in dutch ovens in an open fireplace or over a campfire I noticed that the gingerbread took on a slightly smokey tone. It's hard to describe but there's a little extra flavor from the wood smoke that just makes the ginger and spices perfect. So, when I started making this at home I used a few dollops of Liquid Smoke which you can find in most grocery stores. It's not a perfect substitute for wood smoke, but it does round out the spices and gives a depth of flavor to the gingerbread that sets it apart from the ordinary.
I finally got around to adapting this to a cupcake recipe. I've used a pretty similar recipe for muffins in the past, but the addition of the lemon buttercream frosting melds my gingerbread, which is always glazed with a lemon glaze and my cookies (or cakes to be 18th Century about it) which have a bit of lemon in the batter and are lightly dusted with powdered sugar.
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
3 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour) sifted
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon flavoring
1/2 tsp. liquid smoke (optional)
1 cup hot water
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream together shortening and sugar. Beat in egg, lemon flavoring, vanilla, and optional liquid smoke, and then molasses. Sift together the dry ingredients in separate bowl and stir into wet mixture. Gradually add hot water, beating continually until batter is smooth. Line muffin tin with cupcake papers and fill to about 3/4 full and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Lemon Buttercream Frosting
1/2 cup butter, room temperature sliced in 1/4" pieces
2 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tbl. fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp. fresh lemon zest
Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and mix together with mixer fitted with whisk attachment until smooth. Transfer to pastry bag fitted with round or star tip and decorate cooled cupcakes.
